Brown Memorial Presbyterian
Church has rarely presented more
beautiful and picturesque appearance
lnteriorly than it did on Tuesday ev-
ening last. Within its walls had con-
gregated large and happy number
OF both sexes, to witness the pretty
wedding of Colonel ]. Upshur Dennis,
a popular young member of the Balti-
more bar, and Miss Fannie A. Muir
dock, an universal favorite in very
large circle OF Baltimore acquaintance.
The altar was truly floral and vernal
in appearance. A beautiful arbor of
palms, agaveS and other noted tropical
plants, formed a most appropriate
shelter for the couple who were to
pledge their troth in the presence OF
so many witnesses, and was the subject
OF much approving comment. On
each side OF the happy couple the four
sisters of the bride took position, all
arranged in spotless white Swiss elabor-
ately trimmed with Valenciennes lace
and pink ribbons. They Wore the
greatly admired Goldsborough hats,
with dropping pink and white feathers.
The bride was in pure white, with the
customary veil attached to her fair
brow by coronal of orange blossoms.
The officiating minister was the Rev
DIR. ]. Sparhawk Jones, and the bride
was escorted to the altar by Captain !.
Howard McIienry, and met her hus-
band-expectant at the chancel rail.
The groom'S best man was Richard
Venable, Esq. The ushers were W.
L. Brantly, G. Morris Bond, DIR. Wm.
Murray, Archibald Taylor, VIM. Win
chester, Frederick Brown and Richard
Venable. A notable feature was the
large number of youthful and hand.

Among the prominent gentlemen pre-.
sent were the Hon. John l.. Thomas
w. ID. Burchinal, Esq, Deputy Col
lector for the Port of Baltimore, Geo
Savage, Esq, prominent member o
the Baltimore bar, and others. The
newly married pair proceeded from tht
church to the residence of the bride
St. Paul street. near Eager, where the
latter exchanged her bridal toilette fol
garments more suitable for the weaI
and dust of railroad travel, and at one,
proceeding to the Charles street depot

o past that is !

Gov. Hamilton is bent upon over
throwing the present management of
the party and is seeking the aid of Re-
publicans to accomplish his purpose.
With all his boosted devotion to the
party and its principles. we believe
that he would rather see Republican
rule than Democratic success, unless
he be allowed to control the party.
Rather, perhaps, he would prefer to
see the formation Of new party, with
himself as leader, and the election Of
a Legislature subject to his control and
dictation. The next Legislature will
have TO elect United States Senator
to succeed Senator Groome, and it is
said Mr.. Hamilton is aspiring to re-
turn TO the upper house of Congress.
70 accomplish this he must have a
Legislature subservent to his will, SO
that the law apportioning the Senators
one to the Eastern and one to the
Western Shores, can be repealed.
Otherwise, Mr. Groome's successor
must be taken from the Eastern Shore.

The Two Lovers.

Two lovers by Il mOss-grOwn spring,
They leaned soft Cheeks together there,
Mingled the dnr!; and sunny hair,
And helrd the wooiug thrushes sing.
O budding time
o loves blest prime
Two welded fro M the portal slept,
The bells made happy carolings,
The air was soft as tanning wings.
White petals on the pathway slept.
q pure eyed bride

Two faces DER a cradle bent,
Two hand above the head were locked,
Thtse pressed each other while they rocked
These watched life that love had sent.

Two parents by the evening fire,
The red light fell about their knees
On heads that rose by slow degrees,
Like huds upon the lily spire.

The two still sat together there.
The red light shone about their knees
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left that lonely pair.

The red light shone upon the floor
And made the space between them wide.
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale CHI eks joined, and said once more!

A MINISTER, who had been long resi-

invited to take charge of church in
another town, both of which shall be
nameless. His former congregation
was not noted for their generosity, but
at farewell service presented him
with handsome sum by way of testi-
monial in recognition of his services.
When the presentation took place, the

scious of the full import of his words,
exclaimed: "Goodness and mercy
