Orange Blossoms.

I On the evening OF, "Wednesday June 10th
ut Z o'clock, Miss Corrie Johnson, oi
Brookhaven, fourth daughter of Dr. II. r
johnson, was married to Mr.. +. H. Camp
bell, of Lodi, Miss.
No outside gloom or darkness or pat
tering rain drops could penetrate with
their usual depressing Influence, the joy
| Gus, festive scene within the bright and
beautiful home of the brides father OH
this important and happy occasion.
Neither could they, in any manner, take
one glad smile of joy from the proud
groOm's face, nor from the sweet, joyous
one of the Young bride as their vows were
plighted-their lives united hcnccforth,
forever.
DIR. Johnson's cosy residence, "Thc
Brown House, had been transformed into
bower.of beauty by the artistic taste aud
skill of his accomplished family and moth
ing could have more cficctnally dispellcd
the shadows that fain would have crept
in from the darkness outside, than the
many -huod Chinese lanterns, of brightest
ray, and the fragrant, sweet flowers
which seemed to have been placed by
nature in every nook and corner. As the
bride, fair and young, ROBBED in Skinner
ing white satin, entered the flower
wreathed, spacious conservatory, leaning
upon the arm of the knight of her choice,
the picture was one of rare loneliness.
Against dark green back ground of
palms ard tropical plants, beneath "a
canopy of sweetest flowers, from which
the emblem of good luck hung i'll blush
ing beauty, surrounded by garands and
modding buds and blossoms and, more
ed school mates and laughing little pupils
of the bride, the scene was II most attrac-
tive one and fain would have been pro-
longed by the delighted spectators.
After the ceremony, by Bishop C. b.
Galloway, congratulations fell, like the
rain drops, IN profuson, and the groom
was most cordially welcomed into the
warm hearts of the brides relatives.
If there was aught to dim one CLEAN of
happiness in this joyous scene, it was the
illness of the father, who was PROSTATE
upon bed of atiiction-Deing unable
even to witness the ceremony that took
from his loving care another loved daugh-
ter.
A repast, choice aud elegant, WAS taste
fully served in the beautifully decorated
dining hall and all went merry us mar
rage should until time for departure of
the newly welded. Then amidst tears
and sighs of regret the daughter went
out into an untried future, by the side of
an untrled friend-such .is.wOman's love
and woman's trust.
Mr.. Campbell bears an rrcprOachable
reputation, is young man OF means and
steady habits and has further added to
his good name by claiming for his com
panion through life one as accomplished
and deserving as is his bride.
Miss Corrie made lovely bride, dress
ed in trained satin robe, draped with
embroidered silk gauze lace, with orange
blossoms and veil. She is an alumna of
Whitwcrth College, having taken di-
ploma two years ,agO and won distinction
on that accession by her graduating essay
upon the poetical subject OF "Roscs. =

lege.
