last evening, that bind two loving
hearts together. The happy young
people are J. L. Blodgett and Miss
Mollie Mcdonald. The ceremony took
place at the home of Mrs. Mary A.
Ransom on the Lake Shore drive. at the
hour of o'clock p. m. Mr.. Ralph
Ransom and Miss Nellie Mcdonald
acted as man and maid of honor. Mr.
Blodgett has been resident of st
Joseph for several months and Miss
Mcdonald, his charming bride is a
beautiful and accomplished young lady
of Lake View, Chicago. After the bans
had been pronounced, the guests eX-
tended co ngratulations, after which
they were entertained by vocal and
instrumental music. Mr.. and Mrs.
Blodgett left this afternoon for Chicago
where they will spend few days be-
fore returning to this city and taking
up their residence with Mrs. Ransom,
where they will be at home to their
friends"

A BACHELORS SOLILOOUY.

To marry or not to marry; that is the
question. Whether it is better to bear
and suffer the discomforts, sorrows and
loneliness of single life, or, by propos.
ing, end them. To sleep perchance to
dream. Aye. there's the nudge; what
thought of paregoric may come gives us
pause; for who would forego the trans
ports of love, the romance of courtship,
the first kiss, the bridal tour, the
honeymoon, the love of children, the
comforts of home, the kiss of welcome,
the cosy fireside, the waiting slippers
and all the thousand endearments that
make welded life bliss and life elysian,

and witticisms of the reigning bellies.

old maids, the maneuvers Of calculating
mammals; the invitations of convenience
and the tender of unwanted offices at
weddings and christenings, to be the
Old beau Whsn he could happiness
secure by single question, to groan
and drag along an aimless existence.
But the dread of something after
marriage, that bourne from which no
bachelor returns, puzzles the will and
makes us rather bear the ills of single
blessedness than fly to others, the un-
certainty of being matched but not
mated, henpecked, made miserable,
the poor housekeeper, the sloven wife,
the faded wrapper, the busy body, the
neglected home, washing day, the
spoiled child, the quarreling neighbor,
the spoiled dinner, the smoky chimney;

face, the stuffed corset, the padded
sleeves, the awry hustle, the dentists
