lover" the celebration Of loves beautiful
and consummate flower. a wedding, Is an
event which draws forth deepest interest
and kIndliest feelings from those who wit
ness the solemn, yet joyous, Ceremony,

and LOYALTY 10 each other. Such an event
is fraught either with the beatiitudes of
hesven or the miseries of Danes Inferno
the sweet Joy of the ideal hocle, or The sal
sorrows of wrecked hopes snd blasted lives.

shine than of shadow to both, or it brings
the darkest clouds that ever cast their
gloom acros life's pathway,
