A MODEST MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

A very pleasant incident was that trans
piring at the NJ. E. Church Sunday evening.
Pastor Kelly had preached one OF his best
discourses, discourse full Of fire and ener-
gy notwithstanding the more than ordinary
effort of the morning, q sermon Teplete with
fundamental religious truths in which "the
love Of God and of the neighbor" were held
up and illustrated by graphic pictures and
recitals Of touching incidents, and in which
it was shown how utterly all worldly pos
sessions fail to insure human happiness, and
when the last prayer had been offered and
the doxology alone remained to be sung,
the doctor called up youthful and modest
pair before the altar and few words unit
ed their lives and destinies. The great au-
dience room, which was filled to the last
seat, became hushed as the morning hour,
and Oliver A. Moore and Jennie Z. Ross
were pronounced "man and wife," without
the least parade or show, without expense
or other nonsense they simply and modest
ly became one for better for worse. The
ripple of excitement and pleasant banter
that followed the benediction made strong
contrast, but all SEEMED to approve the SIM
plicity and wisdom of the ceremony.
W. F. Stevens, of Anthony, is in the city
on business.
