presence of the relatives Of the family and a
few immediate personal friends, after which
a large and brilliant reception was held.
In the homestead of her young and shadow

eyes whispered gently of unclouded joys

The spacious hall, parlors, library and

taste. Garlands of Southern smilax were
arranged along the walls and ceilings, whilst
rich clusters OF rare flowers, fresh from some
rarer parterres, rested in every favor ed

there. The soft light OF the chandeliers
mingling with the odor of flowers and
heightening their modest beauty, though
