CIeney--RahDl.

Again at half past eleven O'Clock
the merry marriage bells tingled and
a goodly congregation of friends gath
cred in the Presbyterian church.
Busy hands, and tasteful eyes had
been there before them, and the pull
pit was, not gorgeously, but beautiful
ly adorned with flowers Just at
twelve, as the wedding march tioated
softly over the church at the touch of
the skilled fingers of Mrs. d. l..
Brown. Miss Heloise Rahm leaning
gently upon the arm of Mr.. Cheney,
the groom, came marching down the
isle. Twas a goodly sigh, these two
young people standing there in Gods
own house, in the awful stiffness OF
the moment, while the minister, in
solemn words bound them together
as man and wife. A few short min
utes, and the low solemn sound of the
organ guided the step of this new
made husband and wife from the
church, and soon they were gone,
Fastening to their future home. Miss
Heloise leaves an empty place in hel
home, and church that will be hard
to fill. If she only proves as faithful
a wife as she was a daughter in hel
home, and worker in her sphere il
the church her husband will evel
have cause to bless the day when hi
won her love and trust. And why
should she not? Those are always
the kind of women who make trues
wives and are help-meet for man il
life's hard battle. To them two W.
say-God bless you and prosper yol
all through this earthly e,and maxi
your home ever place of truest res
and peace.

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.
Rennts--C Coffee.

McMinnville was in one of its gay
est moods on last Wednesday-two
marriages in one short day.
In the early morning as the sun
had just climbed high enough to gild
our mountain tops with light and
beauty, the few simple words were
being said that united as man and
wife Mr.. r. NJ. Reams, editor in
chief of this paper and Miss Jessie,
youngest daughter of the late Mr..
Chatham Coffee. In the quiet home,
where grief had so recently come,
only the immediate family were gath
cred to witness an event that ment
all the world to these two hearts.
The morning was perfect in its love-
illness. The few fleecy clouds that
lowered near the horizon were tinged
with beauty by the morning sun,
while all the rest of the heavens was
purest, clearest blue. A bright day
for the blending Of young hearts and
bright hopes. And wasn't Rad hap
py? l tell you, boys, you ought to
have been there. 1t would have
made your sanctums brighter for
many day,to have seen the smile Of
joy that TRANSPORTED into almost
beauty his expressive countenance.
1t would have done you good to
know that it was possible for an edi-
tor to get so deliciously happy. You
no doubt thought he was happy when
you honored him by making him
President of the Press Association,
but the smile that lit up his cOunte-
nance then was but as blacklist thun-
der cloud compared with the look of
Joy that blazed from his eyes and
danced over his face when the solemn
words were spoken by Gods minister,
plOuOullSC yOu man ohu hhS'
And truly he had cause for pride and
excess of joy, for he had won one of
those pure, unseltish women, whose
lives make earth still to retain few
rays of Eden beauty. Miss Jessie
had been reared in a home where
love was the law, and where daily
she had seen the knightly devotion
of father and the tender trusting love
of mother. She had caught the spirit
of that home and had grown up a
woman pure in thought, gentle and
unselish in disposition, modest in
every action and domestic in habits,
just such a wife as will stimulate and
help a hard working editor to better
work and nobler deeds. God bless
and prosper them in life's great journ.

CONSOLATION of knowing that their loss is her
gain Tor she has jus, passed across the Ri yer
