WEDDINGS.
Patterson-Carter.


Danforth street, was the scene of a most
delightful wedding yesterday morning at
II O'Clock. A large circle of immediate
friends were in attendance. The happy
couple were Mr.. George Lewis Patterson
of Brooklyn and Miss Alice N. Carter.
Rev. Dwight M. Pratt, pastor of Willis
ton church, oficiated. The house was
profusely decorated with flowers, Easter
lilies being especially abundant.
Among the many beautiful and cost
ly presents was most elegant vase, pre-
sented to Miss Carter by the Williston
Sunday School in which she was great
favorite.
The bride appeared in white satin and
carried an immense cluster of white
roses. The occasion was in every way
delightful. After the wedding dinner
the happy couple took the noon train for
Brooklyn, where they will reside at the
Arlington, Montague street. and where
they will receive Tuesdays in May.
Rarely does bride leave a community
so universally loved for her good works
and personal worthiness. The bride is
very popular in Portland social circles,
and the groom is a son of Col. G. Patter-
son, formerly of Portland, and now OF
Denver.
These verses were written for the oc-
casion:
TO ALICE ON HER WEDDING MORN.
o fair young bride amid the flowers
But loyelier than they.
May sunshine gid thy future hours
AS on thy bridal day.
Sweet hopes their conscious glow impart
To thine unsullied cheek,
While hopes that blossom in thy heart,
Through thy soft glances speak.
So wilt thou turn to loves new home
In faithful ministry,
While joy and peace, twin sisters come.
Their wealth to shower on thee
Amid the flowers, o, fair young bride,
God grant thy feet to move
Amid the flowers, whate'er betide,
The fadeless flowers of love. ~
