SIDNEY.

.. SlbANL L.
There is, perhaps, no place to
which Thanksgiving meant more
than it did to Sidney. While the
day was observed as a day of
thanksgiving to God for his
many mercies and blessings to
US, yet it was destined that other
events be connected with it that
will long be remembered for hav-
ing brought happiness to some
and pleasure to many.
Even before the coming of the
hours that announced the dawn
of Thanksgiving Day, might
have been heard the silvery
peals of marriage bells. Through
Cupid's cunning, Venus had
claimed DR.. Batson and Miss
Viola Arm as her devotes, who
were now kneeling at her shrine,
and never did a more pious
couple kneel there.
At the appointed hour, keeping
step to the sweet strains of
Erata's bridal march, came the
happy pair, the bride rivaling
the grace Of Euphrosgne and
leaning upn the arm of the
groom, who looked the personi-
fication of Apollo. They ap-
preached the altar and were hap
pily united in matrimony by Rev.
Gibson of Sulphur Rock. Never
did Juno preside over a more fit.
ting marriage, DR.. Batson strong
and commanding, Miss Arm
young and hopeful.
After the congratulations were
over and after the bridal pair
had recovered from the effects OF
what had happened, the announ-
cement was made "that all things
are now ready and those who
were biddea come into the feast
When we reach the dining hall,
all recollections fade, thoughts
vanish and mind itself is chaos.
Here was a table groaning under
the weight of the necessaries and
ornamental with the delicacies
of life. Never was a festive
board more generously supplied,
and never did the Grace's over a
jollier guest preside. Indeed
might the nymphs of Fairyland
have envied the table which in
its luxuriance might have rivaled
those opened in the shady groves
of Olympus.
AT an early hour Thanksgiving
morning, the school having been
dismissed and business partially
suspended, the people assem- bled
in the Methodist church where an
interesting program was rendered
After the exercises at the church,
the next feature of the days
program was the consumption OF
turkey, etc. Here our pen fails
us. We fain would desc ribe the
scene so that our friends might
enjoy it with us, but we have to
be content with the fond recol-
lectious Of the occasion.
