Twenty years ago. to tfmnuptial bower I led her. blushing like tiie morn; all Heaven, And happy constellations, on that hour Shed their selectest influence; the earth Gave sign of congratulation, and each hill; Joyous the birds; fresh gales and gentle airs Whispered it to the woods, and from their wings Flung rose,flung odours from the spicy shrub.

CHINA WEDDING. The inclemency of the weather, reinforced by deep rolling echos and angry sparks from Vulcan’s mighty anvil, sadly marred the spendorof the reception given Tuesday night by Rev, and Mrs. Paradis at their beautiful west-side home, to their pastoral associates and other friends, in commemoration of their twentieth wedding anniversary. Nearly two hundred were expected to join the ' high hosts in rejoicing at the j happy consummation of this important cycle of time in life’s ceasless roll; the magnificient lawn had been prettily prepared for illumination and the spacious home elaborately decorated for the occasion; the local cornet band was engaged for open air entertninment and the Healy orchestra was to have filled the halls with harmonies. A wealth of flowers and tropical plants were placed in the various rooms, and the fifty or more guests who braved the threatening tempest were received with that charming hospitality so peculiarly a part of the people of joyous France. The tireless entertainers succeeded in completely captivating every heart and when they again throw open their doors it will take more than disagreeable weather to absent* their guests. Refreshments of tempting dainties had been prepared for fully two hundred and the merry party felt called upon to act in double capacity, that there might not be so many conspicuously absent, and it is believed

the ruse was eminently successful. LIST OF GUESTS PRESENT. Messrs. Sears, Long, John Eger, C. Porter, Craig, Austin, Dr. Brown. Percupile, Willey, i Smith. Earl Duvall], T. George. ’ Wharton.

About 100 young people, who were deterred from attending Tuesday night, accepted a special invitation to come the following night, And the evening being superbly pleasant a most delightful time was enjoyed.
