WEDDING AT GODDARD.
Henry McCoin and Lilly Holm two
among Goddard's most estimable Young
people, were united in hoy wedlock at the
brides residence, May 8, 1899 D. F. Irwin,
pastor of the NJ. E. church, officiating.
At $50 O'Clock D. m. Miss Ida Holm,
sister of the bride, began playing a wed
ding march, when the bride and groom
entered the parlor. Before the presenta-
ton OF the ring to the bride by the groom,
the following beautiful and apt poem was
read to the bride By Mrs c. I. McCIalIen:
They tell me, gentle Lilly,
That they deck thee for bride
That the wreath is woven for thy hair;
The bridegroom at thy side;
And think 1 hear thy fathers sigh;
Thy mothers calmer tone,
AS they give thee to another's arms
Their beautiful, their own.
I never saw a bridal but my eyelids hath
been wet.
And it always seemed to me
As tho a joyous crowd were met
To see the saddest sight OF all
a gay and girl:sh thing
Lay down her maiden gIadness
For name and for ring
And other cares will claim thy thoughts.
And other hearts thy love;
And gayer friends may be around
And bluer skies above,
Yet that when I behold thee next
May wear upon thy brow
Perchance an anxious look of care
To that which decks it now.
But a voice is floating round me,
And it tells me in my rest
That sunshine shall ilumine thv path
That joy shall be thy guest.
That thy life shall be a summers day.
Whose evening shall go down
Like an evening in an eastern cline
That never knows a frown.
When thy foot IS at the altar.
When the ring hath pressed thy hand;
When those thy love and those who love
thee
Closely round thee stand,
O. may this rhyme of friendship,
Like spirit of the air,
Be DER thee that moment
For blessing and a prayer.
At the conclusion Of the long and I'M
pressive ceremony a march was made TO
the dintng-room, where the table was
groaning to be relieved of its cumDrous
burden Mr.. and Mrs F. Holm had
spared neither purse nor pains to prepare
a feast for their daughter, Lil.v.
