lock Miss Rosa Winston and Joseph
R. Leguennec.
Here we might stop and say no
more. For who knowing Joe does
not know a youth who looks the
world in The face and smiles even at
its adversities-one who works and
wins; and from among Vermilion's
daughters, who has a sweeter soul
and drawer heart than Miss Rosa ?
They loved as we long believed,
and now their earliest declarations
and simple VOWS have been made
into a solemn and public covenant.
Can we think otherwise than that
theirs will be a life as bright as the
eve which gathered around them
their friends to witness the mar.
rage.
Their future will be as happy as
their past has been sweet. The
blossoming portals that have swung
to behind them in their walk shut
them not out from us. From over
and through the rose hedge will
their friends ever see them and speak
as before.
At the gates just passed will they
meet and converse. And the happi.
ness of those within will, like little
FAIRIES gamboling round, open wide
the closures and sing come in"
''come TO-" till those who now are
leaning and on those hinges sweetly
swinging will go home some eve on
the other side.
Misses Lille Rose, Burdie White,
Carrie White and Kate Chevis and
Caesar Leguennec. w. P. Edwards.
Eli Wise and E. J. Lyons were the
attending bridesmaids and grooms'
men. The floral decorations were
beautiful. The brides costume was
rich and in all parts lovely. Neither
will we attempt to describe. Joe
and Rosa were Joe and Rosa
throughout. After several hours
spent at a rich laden table and il
merry talk the attendance left for
home.
The MERIDIoNALs best wishe:
that have long been with the indi
vidual parties remain firm wishes.
