A QUAKER WEDDING.
Quaint Nuptial Ceremony witnessed
by . ChieaEoan visiting in
the East.

A recent Chicago visitor to the east
writes thus descriptively Of Quaker
nuptial ceremony he had the privilege
of attending:
cat Quaker wedding last week,
where there were no display, decora-
tions, maids or groomsmen, the air
seemed charged with joy. After a ST.
lence Of several minutes the guests
arose, and the bridegroom, taking the
hand of the bride, said: In the Divine
presence and before this assembly l
take Patience B to be nv wife.
promising to be to her a faithful and
affectionate husband until death shall
separate u.s. The bride responded: 4
take thee, John j, to be my hus-
band, promising to be faithful and af-
fectionate wife until death shall sep
arate u.s. A prayer was made, the bride
groom kissed the bride, and after con.
CALCULATIONS had been said all re-
paired to the dining-room, where the
breakfast was spread. The table was
set with the family silver and china,
which had come from England with the
great-grandfather of the bride, and
there was single rose at each corner.
After the breakfast the entire party
accompanied the happy pair across the
meadow to their new here nd were
shown the gifts of loving friends. One
of the guests was heard - say rs he
started homeward: What l.; he use of
oil the fuss and worry attendant upon
even. moderately elaborate wedding,
when one can have such a sweet time as
that was without them?'''
