>. Tho marriage rite, old but over of new
interest in each recurring repetition, at
tractol large numbers to tho village
church Tuesday evening. While awaiting
the bride and her party, the interval was
spent in admiring the tasteful decorations
of the cl'ancel, elaborated by the many
fond friends of the contracting couple.
The reading desks were ballSsu with
grey moss, thickly studded with flowers
of various hues; tho chancel rails had also
received tho same identifying treatment.
A wedding bell of roses and other white
flowers, suspended by garlanls from each
pillar, was the center Of the scheme of
decoration, and brought its happy omen
to adorn this union of true hearts. The
altar railing was hidden by testoons of
mossan0 flowers, tho milk-white blossoms
of the catalpa forming the upper part.
Easter lilies stood on tho altar. Before
the aisles were floral ga tes, formed OF in
tertwincd blossoms Of the COnfoderate Jas
mine. Seen in the soft light Of candles and
lamps, the general effect was very pretty.
Tie ushers were Alcssrs. II. G.. Tempel,
John Tempcl, Jr., and JAS. Clack, and
after they had seated tho brides family,
all eyes were turned to the church doors,
where tho incoming bride was visible,
making, in the half-liyht, dim, fairy
picture, whose brilIiancy increased rs
she advanced up the aisle leaning on her
fathers arm, at the same time that tho
Clergyman and the groom came out Of tho
vestry. Just in front of tho t.fi.le, carry
ing bouquets, were little Miss Anna Teul-
pei and Master Graham Tcmpol, looking
very cute III their appointed Offices, to wait
upon tho bride, and to open for her the
'lowcry gatss which were the ouly bar to
the altar, where tho happy marriage was
to be solomnizcd.
The wedding march was played by
Misses Elisha and Hettie Stocking, being
tho formers "Wost Fcliciana March,"
During the ceremony, "ld"l of my Heart"
was played in low tones, and while the
bridal party was absent in the vcstry Miss
Hottie Stocking sang "Come toiMe"
The bride looked charming in hand
some gown Of pearl grey satin, of such
pure tint that it looked as if spun
Of tho snowy texture of summer .clonds.
It was made walking neth, and embel-
isietl with trimmings of ribbon and
ACE. A coronet Of orange blossoms rested
,n her jetty hair, and fiom it tloated u
vcil Of illusion, through which her erect,
slender figure and attractive face were
LOUDLY charming. Never had she looked
more handsome, than on this mowc4t Gus
md joyful occasion; US also did the groom.
No woudsr that. tho bell in the tywcr
broke forth into load wedding pe;us as if
TO congratulate them, as they stepped
forth from the church door. ' From there
he bridal pair and their relatives were
entertained at the Tempel home, just ont
,f town, where the ,rrnaiadrr,o of the even
ing was passed, The webbing present,
were many and beautiful.
For the. present, Mr.. aud Mrs. Magea'l :

gifts Of fortune, promising. future lies
before them. Nay they realize every por-
tent AZ that this ceremony may ever be to
them tho gate Of an earthly Ai'ienn, open
Ing unto realms of joy and love.
