MARSH-BOOTH.

Tuesday, September 20, was stormy.
prophecy of anything but pleasant wealth
er for the next day but Wednesday ,30th,
was perfect, cloudless, bright, with tenn
perature sufficiently bracing to invigor-
ate one for the highest enjoyment. Many
eager ones watched closely the advance
of the day and the approach of the even
ing hour of o'clock, for at that time,
before Hymen's altar, was to be consum-
mated the fondest hopes and plans of
Charles B. Marsh and Miss Effie A.
Booth. The evening was all that could
be desired. In the northwest corner of
the parlor in F. j. Booths delightful
home, the ceremony was performed by
Rev Thomas E. Gilbert, in the presence
of about so relatives and friends of the
bride and groom. The full service of the
M. E. church was used. The happy
groom, in black Prince Albert suit, the
trustful bride in her pearl grey silk, with
bouquet of white roses, the deeply inter-
ested spectators, the brilliant lights shin
ing upon tasteful floral decorations-all
constituted a scene not soon to be forgot
ten. The scene and employments in the
dining room, where two tables groaned
under their bountiful supply of every
thing conceivable to tempt the appetite
and delight the palate, will be feast in
the mind for many days to come. The
presents were numerous useful and val
liable. Among others may be mentioned
an elegant mahogany center table, gift
of the employees of the groom. About 10
O'Clock, amid shower of rice and hearty
good wishes, the couple departed by hack
to their beautiful home ON Iranistan ave-
nue., Bridgeport, which Mr. Marsh has
built and fitted up for his bride. Long
may they enjoy Life's experience togeth-

Stand for the Right.

Occasionally the BEE is taken to task
for printing some fact, when that fact
reflects upon the character, transactions
or occupation of the individual. If the
moral sentiment of community, or the
moral standard of a person is so low that
the truth cannot be given without receiv-
ing censure, God pity such community
or person! When the press is stultified
to such degree that it dare not speak
out boldly against wrong doing, its pow
er for usefulness is very much impaired,
if not totally destroyed. While the local
paper should be pure enough in tone not
to print what will pander to the lower
passions,it should not be so weak of pur-
pose for good as to shrink in publishing
whatever will have tendency to put a
check upon wrong doing and elevate the
moral tone of the people. Not very long
ago, the BEE was visited by man who
commanded that we refrain from giving
certain testimony that had been given
under oath in open court, on the ground
that, il published and sent broadcast
through the community, it would very
much impair his standing as a business
man. At the same time, that same man
would, under different circumstances,
have been ready to condemn the conceal
ment of similar transactions in others.
SO do not censure the BEE, if, when
man is guilty of using his neighbours
name without consecutive call it forgery,
or If, when the day of reckoning comes
and he is found to be short in his &C
counts, we call him defaulter, or if,
when he deliberately betrays his trust
and puts into his own pocket what be-
longs to another, we apply the name Of
embezzler. 1t is one thing for man to
become a. bankrupt by his inability to
rightly and judiciously manage his affairs
in the ordinary routine of business, and
we can sympathize with him in his lack
of success and want of business fore
thought and sagacity. He falls, and falls
alone, makes a clean breast of everything
and neither loses his own self respect,
nor the respect and confidence of his fell
low men. 1t is quite another thing when
a man, in his greed for gain, diyerts from
its rational course his own business tai
ents, neglects his legitimate calling,
proves faithless to his trust, betrays the
confidence of his friends and hesitates not
In his mad career, until he pulls members
of his own household and trusted, life
long friends down with himself in one
common whirlpool of financial ruin and
destruction. Such man, when he comes
to his right mind, will not only lose his
self respect, but will expect to lose the
self respect OF all who are conversant
with the circumstances that have drag
ged him down. Futile for good would
be the influence Of any paper that has
not the moral courage to condemn the
wrong because it Is wrong, or to stand
up for the right, though public senti-
ment be so weakened as to hardly dare
to follow. In the language Of one whose
uame will be handed down to coming
generations along with the name Of
the BEE will press on,
with malice toward none, with charity
for all, with firmness for the right as
God gives us to see the right Speak
the truth it will, let the lightning strike
when and where 1t may.
