"TWEET! TWEET!" GOES THE ENRAPTURED REPORTER.
[From the Sterling Gazette.]
The wedding party wended its way to the grove south of the river and
there, in a lovely spot, where pleasant hours of courtship have been
passed, the wedding ceremony was performed. No stately church edifice
built by man, no gilded altar, no polished pews nor polished floors were
there; no stately organ or trained choir; there was an absence of
ushers, bridesmaids and parson heavily gowned. No curious crowd thronged
without the portal. In place of this display and grandeur they were
surrounded by an edifice of nature's planting--the stately forest tree,
while the green sward of the verdant grove furnished a velvety carpet.
There, in this beautiful spot, where the Creator ordained such events to
occur, the young couple, true lovers of the simple life, took upon
themselves the vows which united them until "death itself should part."
The rustle of the leaves in the treetop murmured nature's sweet
benediction, while the bluebird, the robin, and the thrush sang a
glorious doxology.
