| Marriage ltIIH.
SHERIDAN, oct. 4th.-On Thursday eve.
ming, oct. I'd, the beautiful village Of Sber
idan seemed hushed into more than is
usual quietude, AS if expecting one OF those
Joyous events which all good people prefer
to participate in b IT once in their lifetime
Nature seldom presents an October eve
ming so transcendently beautiful as was
that of Thursday last, when Leonora Court
right, of Sheridan, and John {. Nanatta, OF
Tonica, were joined in the sacred bonds of
matrimony by Prof f. w. Heidner, Of Ma
perville, at the quiet, pleasant residence of
the brides parents. Nature had robed her
self in her most royal nocturnal beauty
The stars trembled like so many diadems
on the pale blue mantle of night, The
moon moved along in her queenly beauty,
smiling serenely upon the upward gazing
circle of happy friends. The balmy eve
ming air was famed nov and then by a
gentle zephyr that modesty whispered "A
compliment through the rustling Autumn
leaves. All visible beauty of earth below
and the heavens above combined to make
that festive evening one never to be forgot
ten by the happy pair, and those that had
met to share their JOY with them.
At little after o'clock the bridal pair
stepped under "A horseshoe of tuberoses
and lilies, and the outward seal was set up.
on two hearts that were hencetorth to beat
only for each other. There the fair bride
promised, forsaking all others, to keep only
10 her chosen one, and to love and honor
him so long as life should last; while the
bridegroom promised to love, cherish and
protect her till death should part them.
This being witnessed by company of
guests almost exclusively relatives, who
We'd with each other to emphasize their
by kiss and a hearty pres
sure of the hand, few pleasant words
We're exchanged and the company gathered
around one of those richly decked festive
boards, as can only be found in rural cir
cles, where nature and not art is queen.
These attractions frightened the smiles of
the circle; but above all other objects of
interest was the sweet and modest looking
bride, beautifully attired in wine colored
Langtry silk, trimmed with lace and
flowers.
The congratulations and good wishes,
however consisted not in words alone
very choice and valuable gifts of skilled
art ana others wrought by loving hands
were presented.
Like all of lfe's happy hours, so these
winged their fight SO swiftly that before
any seemed aware Of it the stars marked
the midnight watches, and the happy
guests separated with reluctance; and
Good night! and Good bye! rang out into
the quiet midnight air. Soon the distant
sound of the rolling carriage wheels echoed
the end of this happy event, that will ever
remain bright amid the memories of the
past, A FRIEND.
