Another sweet blossom has beeu trans
planted from its natal bower; two more
souls launched in happy unson upon the
connubial sea, buoyed rp with tho same
fond hopes that cheer and encourage all
who are bold enough to breast the rolling
tide The bride is a fair and lovely crea-
ture modest, retiring and cultivated, pol
islled and refined to an admirable extent ::
full of life and spirit mild and fascinating

sweet and desirable companion. With
such creature to bless the life of man

portrait Of this charming girl as we have
seen her in the household, dscharging with
exactitudc and plcasure-singing gayly as
Southern bird-thc numerous little
duties that fell to her lot. But these are
private affairs and with them we have not
to deal, and merely hint at them in order to
intimate what an enviable conquest Mr.
ure it is possible for snorta7s to fall heir to
may be theirs; that dissension may never
spring up between them, and that happi-

them to the end of time
That the hearts now buoyed up with love,
May ever thus remain,
That Angels, Saints and all above
May bless the loving twain.
That love in all its purity
May e'er their pathway gild,
An that bright futurity
For Glenwood's child is willed,
That happiness and joy supreme
May cheer their welded lot,
And that the bliss of g loves young dream !"
May never be forgot. AIR.
