Last Events of the Social Season.

Upwards.
The HEppENHElMER NUPTIALs.

There will have to be plenty of
buds next winter or society win be death
for sweet young girls, so many of them
have become matrons this spring. And
then when one considers the batch of
June weddings that is sure to come the
state Of affairs becomes appalling But
no doubt when the season opens next
fall the debutantes will be numerous, and
the gaps left In the circle of young girls
who adorn our society will be filled with
bright and pretty buds. OF course the
general subject of conversation in social
circles this week was the marriage of
General Heppenheimer to Miss Blanche
Miller, of New York.
QUITE SURPRISE.
The wedding was som ewhat of sur
prise TO Jersey City people. although it
was rumored for some time that the event
would occur. 1t Is said by those who
claim to know that General Heppen-
heimer met his bride at Heidelberg last
summer when he was making tour of
Europe. Miss Miller, who is niece of
Jay Gould's, spent several years in that
place and has travelled considerably. She
resided with her parents in San Fran
cisco, her native place, until quite rec
emily, when they came to New York
General Heppenheirners bride is of rarely
BlcdSlDk dppHetL duItt dlu Is as JIclby ttS
she is pleasing. Many people from here
attended the reception, which was most
brilliant affair. The ceremony was priv
ate, in the yestry of st. Leo's r. c.
Church, this being necessary, as General
Heppenheimer was q Protestant. The
people here are now specializing as to the
future plans of General and Mrs Heppen-
heimer, all hoping that this town will be
their future home. which is scarcely
probakle.
A NOTABLE WEDDING.
The Observation-Disclosures wedding was
also memorable event aud one of the
most fashionable that has been celebrated
this season. 1t is a curious fact, but
never the less true, that the last wedding
that society people attend is always the
most brilliant one Of the season. The
Nichols have resided on Crescent avenue
long time and have been prominent in
social circles always. The wedding was
q very pretty one and from the door of
the parlor at which the bridal party en-
tered to the miniature altar was formed
an aisle Of ribbons. The bay window
where the ceremony was performed was
a marvel of beauty, looking like lovely
bower of bright blossoms and foliage.
The assemblage at the reception was
made ND of all the society people here
and many prominent people of other
places. The season is now pretty near It's
close, yet there are still more large
events to take place. EIDDA

Above the glowing enihsrs
hear the backlog sing
The music IL remembers
OF some remembered spring;
Back to the branch forsaken
Return the jocund choir,
And In the chimney waken
A melody of fire.
The sparks red blossoms glisten
And flash their glances brief
At me who lean and listen
And dream hear leaf
On some May morning sunny,
Low tsping in the tree,
Or, in his haunt Of honey,
A bloom enamoured bee:
Or It's the soft wind blowing
Its sweetness from the South,
A fragrant kiss bestowiug
Upon the roses mouth,
And ere the spell is broken,
Or darkness Ger it slips,
see the scarlet token
of love upon her lips.
without the wind is bitter,
The snow fakes fill the night,
Within the embers glitter
And gid the room with light;
And IN the fireplace cleaning
The backlog sings away,
And mingies ali my dreaming
With birds, andb looms, and May.

Now is the Cherry in blossom.

BY MARY (. WILKINS.
Now is the cherry in blossom, Love,
Love OF my heart, with the apple to follow;
Over the village at nightfail now
Merrily veers and darts the swallow.
At nightfail now in the dark marsh grass
Awakes the chorus that sings old sorrow;
The evening star is dim for the dew,
And the apple and lilac will bloom tomorrow.
The honeysuckle is red on the rock;
The willow floats over the brook like feather;
In every shadow some love lies hid
And you and in the world together.

A Simple Plan

A scientific person from somewhere has
promulgated the doctrine that to spray
mosquitoes with petroleum is the dead
Hest injury that can be inflicted upon
that well known pest. The scientific per-
son fails to state what consideration is to
be offered the mosquito TO induce him to
stand still long enough to be sprayed.
