Happily Mated.

Happily Mated.
The Weatherly correspondent Of the
Mauch Chunk Democrat very prettily puts
it rs follows: "The event of our town last
week was the union in wedlork ofour Young
friend. Frank J.. Raber with Miss Alice
Derr, ou Saturday evening last. The mar
riage rite was performed by Rev. N W
C"lburn. according to The ritual of the NJ.
Z. Church in the presence of numerous
intimate friends and relatives at the home
of the brides sister, Mrs John + West, on
Sees nd street. Your scribe makes due ac-
acknowledgement for the liberal contribn ion
of wedding cake sent To the family. and ex-
t.nds to the happy pair his hesrliest con-
CALCULATIONS. May their tnndest dreams ol
sdccess and happiness 6e more than realized
aud may the tl"wery path of wedlock dis
play nut here and there thorn. just suf
iirient Ia impress the felicitous twain of the
realistic character of life. Contrary TO the
usual custom, we do not wish them one
continuous voyage OF inellable bliss on the
placid surface Of n crystal sea on whose
calm bosom shall be- borne To its destination n
their fair bark famed by fragrant zephyrs.
We say rather: May their voyage of life be
practically successful aud successfully prac
teal. We do not wish for them lf,, void
Of storm and trisl, but ds.ire rather that It
may be their blessed experience to cvrne ont
oi all trials purified and ma 10 bettsr and
that they may majestically surmount all the
difficulties and outride all storms that may
overtako them"

swell, sir. that Canadian crank has fright
eried the river trade SO that there is actually
nothing left oft With heavy wind, such
as is blowing now, the deep water above the
Water Works Is pretty rough, but there Is
no danger all. Saturday afternoon, while
that heavy wind was blowing, was on my
way down with good load, largely com.
posed OF ladies' They talked OF nothing bat
the coming Virgins: storm, and some OF
them were nearly frightened out Of their
wits In fact some OF them wouldn't ride
back. To-day there is heavy wind, and the
passengers are few. Then it's so hard To
handle boat against this blow that de-
cided to 20 to the bank for this afternoon.
The limid ones seem 70 think that there Is
going 10 be q tidal wave on the 0nio, such as
predicted for the Atlantic. The Bellaire
