expression came from his heart.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunaway, whose
sentiments always run into clever
rhyme, has. dedicated the following
lines to
"THE GOVERNORS WEDDING"
The Governor Of Oregon
In meditation stood alone,
And viewed the situation DER
From State-House dome to oceans
shore.
"For this hearts ache there is cure,
| A sweet specific, safe and sure"
He sighed, as Cupid's poignant dart,
Unerring, speedad through his heart
"l.eander swan the Hellspont,
| And l, down to the waterfront
VIII hasten, too. to meet my bride,
At edge Of oceans swelling tide.
As classic Psyche paused for Love
Within the green Arcadian grove,
SO sweetly waits my fond hearts pride,
While l haste gladly to her side"
The bride, who's long been feeling
! queer,
Because quite strangely out of Geer;
| Two heartaches cures with rapturouS
kiss
Sweet harbinger of welded bliss.
While we, their tried friends. breathe 6
prayer,
For blessings on the welded pair
May their fond hearts beat on as one
Until their lives on earth are done.
OSTEoPATHY.
