was the scene, last night, OF n OF
the Ioveliest marriages ever solemn
lied within its sacred walls, when
Mr.. Frank B. Short, of Nashville,
N. c., led to the hymeneal altar Miss
Kate Powell, of this city, and it was
a marriage in which all our people
were unusually interested, for the
lovely young bride, from her earl
lest years, took the place in the
hearts of our people of her beauti-
full young mother, who died when
she was an infant, and has grown
from childhood on up through
gentle matdenhOOd to young VIC
manhood, her chlefe5t joys coming
! to her from the joy she could give
to others, until we mad ali con
| to look upon her as the inspiration

.sBehoId, [ dream a dream OF gCod
| A nd nm Gle ali the word with
thee"
In the holy hush OF starlight ewes,
land in tue %nlorninS, noon CT even
i tide of many a golden June, h mao
Joined the glad lhrong hurrylng on
to the place of marriage IN the tenn
pie Of happiness, never, doubtless,
remembering to ask herself the ques-
ton that, at length, she has had to
answer; and the wish of all Is, that
he who has won the priceless treas
IRE of her love and the sacred keep
ing of her lie and happiness, may,
with her, know only the bluest OF
skies and the green earth, as on this
beautiful June day, the first of their
welded life, laugh ever IN plenty and
Joy around them.
