daughter Of our house shall be
sheltered from the cold winds Of
adversely; that she may know no
III In life. In measure this lavish
love is returned, and in this return
we are happy. We think, oh, 50
hopefully, Of the days when, old
and inclined to lean on stronger
arms, she viii be our comfort and
soIace, and 10, a stranger comes,
and before we can realize it our
child, no longer a child, is gone to
love, comfort and cherish another.
Butdo We blame? Ali no. Did
not her mother do the same?
Reflections such as these fitted
through our mind as, one OF a nu-
merous company OF guests, we saw
Miss Phebe, second daughter Of
Col. and Mrs. Jay ii. Northup, give
herself into the care and keep
OF Mr.. Charles Russell. A young
woman OF more than ordinary beau
~ the bride Of the season looked
more than equally handsome Is she
stood at the altar in the NJ. T.,
Church South yesterday and be-
came the wife OF him who has 50
calamity wooed and won her. The
interior Of the Church had been
tastefully and charmIngiy decora-
ted for the nuptlaIs. Miss Phebe
is a native LouisIan, always a IA
vorlte with her girlhood friends,
and to make the scene Of her mar
rage 1T setting for her grace and
worth was a labor Of love. Hence
the floral adornment was exquisite.
Generous offerings Of lovely and
odorous plants, combined with ele-
CANT taste in arrangement, made
the surroundings all that could be
desired. And what can be more
beautiful, more like the entire con
secratlon OF two beings, the one 70
the other, than the perfect marriage
ceremonial OF the Episcopal
Church? Rev. John Hampton, o.
Ironton, special friend Of the bride
and her family, spoke the fitting
sentences OF the solemn rite, and b,
never uttered them with more ear
nest feeling.
Can We, a poor helpless man
venture into the unknown domain
OF the Modiste and say intelligibly
what the fair girl wore on this aus
plcious day? We shall not run any
such perilous risks. We are made
quate 10 such a delicate task, al
though 20 achieve II were a pleas
ure. Let US be content to say tina
a cultured girl OF society, "nativ
and TO the manner born" coul'
make no mistakes in wedding trous
seau, and Miss Northup's gown AM
lis accessories made a flung frame
as 1t were, for her who wore them.
Following the marriage rite cam
the marriage feast. Generou
) hearts, open purses and excellen
taste can provide an elegant ropasi
and such was the exquisite lunch
con TO which nearly a hundre
guests were invited.
That degree Of formallty while

. There was no ostentation, but th
, appointments were of that quI,
. elegance which renders such
gathering doubly attractive an
! really enjoyable.

good while, but there was no rus
