county, by Rev. Dr. II. S. Little,
of Denisun, lie?. John Brown of
Argyle, Jack county, tu Mrs.
M iry J. Lai n.
The bride, clad in a beautiful
traveling dress of garnett silk,
was a beautiful picture of love,
gentleness and purity. Her
gentle niein has endeared her
to a large circle of the warmest
friends.
• The Rev,. John, although fa-
miliar with the ceremony, hav-
ing performed like offices for
others,- could not control the
Warm Scotch blood which flowed
from a heart o'alchurged with
love and lighted up l)is brow
with, a rich gloft*. .•.
When John ofrAr^'ylu niet Mnry tho fair,
HIh luj'Hi't wi^h ^eiiKjtton UUl swell,

In his neot little- cot^tge built under the

"My heart is my "Johnnies,"- thus an-
sw'ered thematd. ' * ' ■ : '
Tho Yaws are fulfllled tkut were plighted,
.jViultheeogpie Jorcver United. ,
Slay thoy live In conientraent and bliss,
And never know tronbUrbr jorrow,
May Hiuy clostf evet-y day wldi a kiss
■ And bqgiii the saifle way on the morrow.

That underlies the cruel prose . , ;
Of earthly burdens, that repeat

That 'tls a lioavenly tfift to mnn,
Tho instrument; of Ood as well,

Siieak words of love, and sottly woo
A gentle heart most hard to gain,
Long sought by gifted men, and true,
Both tar and near, but sought'ln vain. ,
And now the happy day hns dawned
That makes these liappy hearts as one;
United In a sacred bond, .
A sweet existence JuSt begun.
"God moves in a mysterious way
Sis wonders to perform£ '
Though LittU be the instrument, t-.
Stay IttUe be tho harm.
America's brave ■youths in war
No victor know of fomign name;
In lova the "Argyle Scotchman'far * -
O'ertops Columbia's boasted fame. ,
Alas! I. sisrh for Griffin youths, •
Who, disappolnted, sit'arid frown

■ Mr, Brown is a graduate of
Glasgow University, Scu^ahd,
and of the Union Theological
College, New York City, and
preached about three yedrsin
Washington City and a longer
period on the Paeific coast.
He has been successful in' build-
ing up two gobd churches in
Jack oounty, where he has re-
sided for three years past.
To the happy couple we offer
our congratulations.
i -They left for Galveston im-
mediately after the ceremony
and from there they go to their
home in Jack county. .

tana are of greater tpa than
