Spme Cynic said that ""when you enter the courts of Cupid you quit the courts of icason." We are a patron of no such gasconade, lor observation teaches us, thar the most level headed and enter prising ol our life's acquaintances, have either assumed the ties ot marriage, or arc making eflorts in that direction ?Diligent and wide spread scrutiny, ad monishes us that men, with few excep. dons, which only corroborate the pro position, are insignificant factors in the business of lite until marjicd. What a spur to eflbit is the confiding love oi a true hearted woman? That last lond look ot hers, hopeiul and encourag ing, has more power within lt, to nerve your soul to high deeds than all the ad monitions of your friends and relatives Your heart beating large with hope quickens the flow upon the brain, and you make exhilirating vows to win great ness. Let the poets say what they will these aflections of ours are not blind stupid creatures, to starve under polar snows, when the very breezes ot Heaven :.re the appointed messengers to guide them to warmth and sunshine. In this connection, we quote with pride and con gratulation, "a gem from "Paradise Lost'*-what Raphael sings to Adam a Classic song: *'Love refine! The thoughts and heart enlarges ; ball -His seat in- reason, and is judicious, ii The scale by which to Heavenly love thou mayest ascend." 1 have a little packet-not very large tied up with narrow, crimson ribbon now soiled with frequent handling, whicl far into some winter's night I take dowi Irom its nook upon my shelf, and untie and open, and run over with such joj and such sorrow, as I am sure make: me for weeks after a kindlier and hap pier--, man-What gentle admonition! what tender affection 1/ God have mere; On him, ?vho outlives the sentiment, tha such - admonition and such anectioi kindles. Marriage, il happy, which i should always be. and will always bc when based on reciprocal conditions o love, esteem and respect. No man witl any true nobility of soul can ever make his heart the slave ol another's condes eension. Marriage inspires and steadier men, while it rarely happens uiai an oit bachelor serves lor any good purpose hi: day and generation: though it must tx confessed, that many old maids, it not soured, are not only good but useful. Sc tully docs this tact commend itself to ou acceptance that we would hang all old bachelors ol lorty-five, and incarcerate all old maids ol lorty in a nunnery. I this should become law, what an anima ted panorama lile Would be? How trul; has a poet said: . "The violet bed's not sweeter thai the delicious breath marriage send lorth " These thoughts are the outcome ot ai invitation to a dinner given on the 2is day of January 1904 at the magnificen i-c -r ??_ -fr y P - . ... - ir hOnC-j Sumid. |. is a source Of cohgrahilaUpi ? to kiKv.v \/e y.-crc. not forgotten, whei ? .little thought given lo outsiders, bj I people who ai ? so wrapped up In O.ACI fl giber ' thal they realise this' bead tilt) worm was made for them alone, am that, it Heaven even, would makeanothe such world of one entire and perfec chrysolite it could not add one iota t their present beatification. MrCovingtor was accompanied to Sumter by Capt C M. Weatherly,- Mr. C. B. Crosland, Mr W. J. Covington and Capt W. H. Mc Intyre. Immediately after the marriage the bridal party returned to Bennetts ville, and thc dinner came off the da following. The weather is so capricious at this season, that we were a little ap prehensive, especially, as the cloud threatened rain, but, as time advanced aurora with rosy fingers pushed bac thc sable curtain of night and usherei in a day bright with sunshine, warr and soothing, bringing later on. an nu conscious happiness to the invited guist: There was a balmy influence suggestiv of thc song ol birds and sparkling watei rippling over pebbles; it was not a win i ter day nor summer neither a sprin day nor that ot autumn, but the delight ot all ol these lelicitously blended int pn? beautiful crystal.' The refiectio came to me-with.the grace of a benedii (ion, that nature, in this joyful dispense lion, had- placed.ber. seal ot approbatio on the nuptial festivities. How vividl those beautilul lines from Campbell wei brought back to me: "Tib home-felt pleaburo prompts tho p riot's -igh, This makes him wish to livo aud daro t die!'* I have written of this superb hom so often, in the past, that it seems but work ol supererogation to add anotht word, but. I hope [ will be indulged t say that the dinner, uuder the skilllt manipulation ol Miss Hallie Covington was a sublime success punctuated as was by her charming graciousness < manner, her striking personality, he pleasing face-its beauty being onl equalled by her modesty, and that is bi yond the power c! linguistic expressioi As she moved about, so noiselessly, s efficiently, we were reminded of tl charming description ot a scotch maidei in Ihe '"Lady ol the Lake." "A atep more light, 11 heart moro truo, Ne'er from tho heath llowor brushed tl dew, E'en tho slight harebell raiaod its head, Elastic from her airy tread." Nature, indeed found in Miss Sallie Co' inpton a props( subject, upon whom, lavish her richest gifts in unstinted prod guilty, There was quite a largo numbor < LTiicKta, but tho apartments opened wore 1 extensivo, and the attractions in so rom direction, lhere was no rush or jam. fact, there did not seem to be n crowd ai where.

He ia hancUomo and Intelligent, popular io Society circles whore ho min gles, and highly honored and esteemed ?moog wen of business. Wo feel eafe in the opinion, for we have known Mr. Ouv . logion from boyhood, that what was said by Jefferson of Freak!ont Monroe towh; It he could be turned intiido out not u lop roos Rpot would bo disclosed, oanld bj Haid ol Mr .Covington, without a fear of fulsome adulatior. The rloh prisa ho woo was not gained, but by vigorous effort Who would boast of a victory that cost no strategy, and no careful disposition of the forces? Who would bulle ti u euch anooe&i, aa roy Uncle Toby's in a baok garden, with only a Corporal Trim for assailant? By some strange metonymy not laid down ld the booka, the captor became captive, and Mr. Covington, to-day, is the happiest mac in South Carolina. We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Covington our heartiest congratula tions with a hope, that their married lite may glide aa smoothly as a rivulet of oil over polished marble, and, that its oloso may be na an autumnal sunset made glor ious with crimson and gold. The guests were a representative body of the-beaut y and chivalry of our coan ty. Men who, by tho magnitude of their at. tainmonts and nobility of their oharaoterp, havo abed a halo of glory around Marlboro county, which culminated in giving her tho proud character that can never be taken from her. In the number wau Mr and Mrs. John S. Moore, to whoso unremitting care and scrupulous attention ia tbolr school room muob of Mr. Covington'o pho nominal nu cecea in life is due.

We were pleased to know ho is so highly esteemed by his charge. His Physician, Dr. J, F. Kinney, and his beautiful wife wore also in evidonco. Tho merchant prinoas of your progressive city, Capt Weatherly and 0 B. Crosland, contributed effusively to the en joyments of tho dinner. Wo must not omit Bon. P. A.
