THE LOVELY MARRIAGE.
This lovely marriage of Mr.. Mcdowell and
lady Miss Maggie Stockton was solemnized by
many happy iaces and friends from the Pres
byterian churoh, Ashevile, n. c., at p. m. of
June l+th inst 1891, by Rev. Mr.. Campbell pas
tor. And among the throng of witnesses was
Editor j. NJ. Fuller of New York, and his
friend Mr.. a. Roberts. Mr.. +. is editor of The
Monthly Cleaner, published in that city, and
by special request he was asked to publish the
wedding which was quite compliment to the
editor no doubt as he was n rising young man
In our midst, and from birds, eye view, he
gathers a few notes in which he says the hap
py couple united in holy wedlock, the knot
well fastened, never to be unfastened between
God and man as long MS they live.
The young couple were well matched and
looked very fine. The groom somewhat taller
and well propOrtioncd in his size. The wife
rather slight, with medium height, prettily
dressed and In good taste for travel, nothing
gaudy or loud, but nice brown dress, hut,
gloves all to match. as near as the editor could
SEQ from the back part of the church, as he
was little late, but saw enough to gather a
few notes for his paper. The happy couple left
for Washington on the o'clock train, where
they will spend their honeymoon trip and
doubtless viii return to Asheville, where they
will make 1t their home. Never have seen u
time on the start says our editor, of a new
married couple that was more real than u mar
riage life, and II could have but one request
should be happy, and that is to have all mar
riageabe days ended right and live and move
on as sweetly as the day took her.
But there is one thing lacking and that Is
readiness In all It's perfection that goes to
make up lovely marriage through life. Main
ly capital, good report, reputation and true
women. Not for their money merely, but
mine. For women should have their own
and do as they like, for man II Is understood is
TO keep life a-guing AS long as he lives, and
give To their wives the surplus. Man has an
idea that all is required of them. for woman
comfort is love and her money alone. Not so.
We must consider health, support and loving
friends, then money. general idea have we
not seen in our notice of writers of the age that
men may hold the reins, but II takes the wom-
en- to drive them. This is so these days, for
were IL not for the realms of society. and talk,
and flowers, or parties, or courtship, mar
riage as we have seen today. What would
man do without women, or women without

without each others society.
Women ought never go out alone at ight,
not even with numberless Of women. Man is
not content alone and sometimes feels tired
with his fellow man and has u deicacy for
woman's company A writer of the times
says, II compelled to give up his daughter
rather bestow her to man without money soon
er than money without the man. And so
would any other one. Yet editors says cases
are different In the starting point of young
couples OF today, and yet it appears eusy to
say, yes I'll take you for my own, not stop-
| ping there, for things will come up in life Of
married home that was last expected.
First u home next taxes, church, ideas, we
and our neghbors. We are then ready To live.
Oh men and women, be careful and watch
full, now have come before the world for

and when our last day on earth shall come,
may we be found ready TO lay down and die.
May the blessings be upon all the newly mar
ried couple, rest on Mr.. ana Mrs. McDowell.
