THE BRIDAL GIFTS.

Of the number of the family friends, the !
list must indeed have been = long one. The

departure of guests, their manner az part

awaited them for Perryvilie. The Port De

slowly departing train steamed away. Mr..

witnessed more pleasing ceremony, or
Looked upon a happier company.
