house & Morse, and Miss Nellie Osborne,
the only daughter of L. S. Osborne, of
the firm Of Osborne & Cobb. The mar
riage of Clint aud Nellie is not the result
OF love at first sight. They had grown
up together from childhood's early
morn, had attended the same school,
had gone to the same church and attend
ed the same Sunday school together, so
that the love which has united these
two happy souls in one has grown as
they have grown, and it has run smooth
ly, which is contrary t. the general rule
of true love. The commodions home
OF Mr.. Osborne was all radiant on the
10th inst, as goodly number of friends
and relatives gathered to witness the
ceremony. The Rev. r.. l.. Cheney was
ali wreathed in smiles when the happy
groom led his accomplished bride to the
altar, where, after a few preliminary
and appropriate remarks, the leading
questions were asked by the reverned
gentleman and promptly answered by
the bride and groom, when they were
pronounced husband and wife in the
presence of the on looking witnesses.
The bride was neatly alfred in a dress
of garnet satin dc lyon with garnitures
of white silk lace. The groom who was
dressed in a business suit, looked brave
and happy, the bride looked polite and
confding. The happy couple take a
wedding tour to Chicago, La Porte, Ind,
and Detroit, Michigan, when they will
return to commence the business of life
and
Though fools spurn uymen's gentle power.
We, who improve his golden hours,
BY sweet experience know.
That marriage, rightly understood,
Gives TO the tender and the good
a Paradise below
Their presents were many and costly
showing that the young people had
many friends who wished them well.
On the same day and at nearly the
same time, and by the same minister,
another wedding took place at the home
OF Mr.. Charles Engle, where Mr..
Christopher Broithwait and Miss Ella
Engle were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Mr.. Broithwart is a steady
young farmer, full of vim and enter
prise. He has learned to fight life's
battle single handed and alone and in
his choice as a partner for life, no more
fitting companion could he find than
Ella, who is a good, sensible woman.
and who is ready and willing TO do her
best in the constant struggle for life
which all must encounter, for
Love, Hope, and JOY, fair pleasures smiling,
Hate, Fear, and Grief, the family of pain.
These, mixed with art, and to due bounds
contin'd,
Make and maintain the balance Of the mind:
The lights aud shades, whose well accorded
strife,
Gives the strength and color of our life.''
Their presents were many, costly and
useful. The happy couple take a we'd
ding tour when they will settle down
to business as others have done before.
