There were no attendants. The bride was
richly dressed, but with exquisite taste; the
groom equally so and was decidedly hand
some as he was easy and self possessed. The
marriage ceremony ofthe Episcopal church,
no less beautiful and eloquent than the
litany, was gracefully and impressively per-
formed by the Rev. Douglas Forest. This
breathing tableau lasted but a few moments,
and like the vision of dream, full of Joy,
youth and beauty, passed away.
Among the many who were in attendance
was to be seen from your county the venera-
able and dignified gentleman, Joseph II.
Bradley, Esq, Messrs. Charles Albert and
family, Henry Bradley and lady, George
Bradley and family and Mr. Rudolph Wat
kns. From your town, John II. Vinson.

There is nothing on earth more beautiful

and union of two hearts. IL is the sunlight
OF life, that comes to earth's pilgrims from a
lost Eden; timid and pale at first, then
growing warmer and brighter while the
heart painting beneath its glow, and the
world all bright now, scintillates with hap.
piness-and TO woman's heart what bliss
is swecter than the certainty of a secure pro-
lection, mistaken constancy, and a sincere,
deep lover Turning from the scenes where
the gaudy mantle of political hypocrisy
covers strife and corruption, il was the
pleasure Of your correspondent 10 be pres
ent at the marriage of two former Mont
gomerians, Mr.. w. W. Anderson, son of the
late DR.. John W. Anderson, of your town,
and Miss Martha Bradley, daughter of the
late Henry Bradley, Esq, who was for many
years a resident of Montgomery county.
The occasion was one of the events which
usually produces a pleasant and exhilarat.
ing ripple in the current of society and Is
very generally attended by the relatives and
friends Of the contracting parties. The cere-
mony took place on Thursday evening of
last week at Trinity Church, at Z o'clock.

A Tobacco-OheWing Donkey.

I had been with friend to visit a
lime-kiln wherein a patent process was
in operation. My friend, a resident in
Yorkshire village, took deep interest
in its moral and spiritual welfare
Some few weeks previously he had in
dulged one of his idiosyncracies in a
crusade against Tobacco" and had
quoted, as an instance of the unnatural
ness of the acquired taste of it, the in
stinctive repugnance manifested by the
animal kingdom to the narcotic weed.
cannot tell what he thought when we
were shown by the men at the lime-kiln,
who happened to be his committeeman
or members of his society, donkey
with an unmistakable liking for chew.
To put the assertion to the test, I gave
a boy plug of tobacco for the donkey.
Neddy immediately took it and chewed
as gravely as an American Senator.
When he had done, he showed his
teeth and indulged in a grin as broad
as that of any Cheshire cat. For my
own part 1 interpreted the grin as a
grin of disgust, for the donkey refused
a second plug from me, but when the
boy again took handful he pricked
up his ears, eat it from his hand, and
munched as gravely as before.
