The beautiful scene of the marriage

respondent ever Witnessed he
has attended many such functions
was laid in the grass-covered lawn
I'M front of the lovely dwelling which

about thirty yards from the front
door and a little to- the right of the
path and literally covered with ever
greens, bedotted with beautiful flow
ers. long yard-wide white carpet
lay stretched ON the velvet sod from
the arch and back nearly to the front

of the arch lay a neat rug for the of
ficiating Clergyman. Further still
toward the front 20 feet, were ar
ranged ample seats for the crowd
Yet further 20 feet toward the road
stood few Majestic trees that adOrn
and shade the front end of the vast
lawn. Their inviting shade was not
reeded for over all hung pale leaden
cloud like a vast canopy, that tenn
pered the atmosphere to a pleasant
degree. No need for fans. No rain
threatened. There was a sweet calm
brooding over the lovely scene to be.
