PERSONALS.

Many beautiful private home mar
riages have taken place in the new
year. The first two weeks in January
have witnessed several couples at the
marriage altar. Some of our preach
ers have reaped rich harvest. Our
girls and widows have called some of
the men in out Of the storm. Most of
the marriages have been very quiet,
dignified but not an old maid have as
yet yielded to the persuasive tongue Of
man or sign a treaty OF peace, but
nolds the fort with a death-like grip
and declare that no man shall invade
their domains and feast upon their
love-
Give the cruel heart TO cupid,
Man is but lamp Of clay,
Mould him to the taste and feast.
With loves embrace and sweet re-
lief.
