the occasion in any way, but their nu-

let SO important an event pass unheed-

Mrs. james were invited out, that prep
arations might be made. On returning
in the evening, imagine their surprise
to find their stately residence illumina-
ted from base to attic and filled almost to

nearly, or quite Two hundred friends
and acquaintance. AIR. and Mrs. Scarf
were equally surprised, as their invita-
ton only requested them 10 meet an
old schoolmate at Mr.. James that eve-
ming. The forms and ceremonies Gus
tomary on like occasions were dispen-
sed with and all went in for good
time generally. In the course of the
evening few remarks were made, not
with a fancy flow of language, but
plain, appropriate, and every word to
the point, presenting the parties with
some valuable presents from their
friends as a token of their esteem.
Messrs. james and Scarf responded to
Mr.. Lanes remarks, accepting the gifts
and thanking their friends for the Kind
attentions. Their pastor also made
some fitting remarks, closing with
prayer. AT an early hour the company
separated, with many thanks from the
brides and grooms for the complete and
agreeable surprise, and as the good
night was spoken, it was with the hope
that they might be spared to celebrate
with them again twenty-five years to
come.
