Inder the canopy, amongst tbe roses Ind toe lilies of the valley In their pride, Ul the kingdom of Flora in glory arrayed, Zo grace such a fair and charming bride. ior the lovely bride was fairer by far than the lilies, fhat smiled 'round the altar of Love, Ind sanctioned the vows of two trusting hearts, ?Fhile the angels recorded above. Sweet rang the wedding bells, and "come, baste to the wedding I" Vas the song that o'er the ruby lips of the bridesmaids flowed, Ls they journeyed to the feast prepared for the fair young bride. The lovely and balmy weather only added o the brilliancy of the DeLorme-China wed ling on last Wednesday evening. Nature ras most gracious on this occasion, and the aagic and witchery of her subtle influences rere intoxicating indeed; and everything .roved to be as it was anticipated, a most legant and brilliant affair. The details of his wedding were so magci??cent that notti? ng short of glorious paeans of praise is due to bose who arranged it. There was nothing eft undone tbat could have been done. The nost trifling detail was most charmingly car? ted out. In the ceremony and sumptuous east which followed it there was nothing that he mest fastidious could bave criticised. The ame exquisite taste and original conception vas everywhere apparent. It was displayed n the arrangement of the flowers, in the elab? orate and elegant toilets and in all the cbarm ng accessories. Perfection in all things is dways grand and this was most certainly a jrand wedding. The Methodist Church never looked lovelier han it did in its bridal robes on last Wednes lay evening. The 'floral decorations were of be choicest and rarest kind. The pillars of his temple of worship, at whose shrine the >ride has worshipped from early girlhood, vere made beautiful with festoons artistic and >riginal in design. The presence of ever? greens and bot-bonse flowers in every nook md corner was suggestive of Spring and tbe ^and of Flowers. But amidst all this lovel? iness the thing cf beauty was to be seen in fae canopy prepared by the delicate fi agers of riends as a token of their love and, also, ap >ropriate to the many graces of the bride, ["his canopy was made of lace, ribbons, lilies ?f the valley and roses. From the corners of bis fairy-like structure the emblems of good uck could be seen, and thus the "Iover's :oot," and the horse-shoe of pure white flow rs were there wailing for the bride too. Tbe ffec: of all this was most inspiring, and the arge and fashionable audience which bad as embled to wituess the ceremony were intox cated with delight. This wedding has been looked forward to vith the brightest anticipations and great in erest has been manifested in all of its prep? arations for obvious reasons. Mr. B. K. )eLorme is a youn? man of the finest busi ?ess qualities and sobriety of habits; and klrs. DeLorme. the lovely bride, is a young ady of rare social graces, and is admired, lonored and loved by all who know her for ?weet and gentle disposition and other noble qualities which, like the fabled Rose of Par idise, time only increases ia loveliness. At 8:H0 o'clock, under the inspiration of :he soft and skillfully rendered music by Mrs. Z. E. Stubbs, Messrs. W. M. Graham, Cbas. iingman, Hazel Sanders and Henry Wbilden, ;bn ushers, elegantly attired in full dress, the bur appearing to excellent anvantage, led the >ridal procession. Next followed th? two ittle flower girls, sisters of the bride, Bertie md Fannie; who were most artistically Iressed in cream Valenciennes lace, over ueam satin, with sashes of cream satin nb >on. Next came the ten bridesmaids and jroomsmen in the following order : Miss Clem China and Cadet Arthur De? forme. Miss Lillie DeLorme and Dr. Archie China. Miss Lula White and Mr. Victor Barbot. Miss Lizzie Corbett and Mr. Wentworth Crosswell. ^Miss Sue Corbett and Mr. Eddie Green. Miss Maud Solomons and Mr. Lee Scar? borough. Miss Nina Graham and Mr. Moultrie De? forme. Miss Katie Anderson and Mr. William ?cllwaine. Miss Edith Solomons and Mr. Willie Rice. Miss Eva Cordes and Mr. John Dargan, Jr. Next came Dr. A. J. China, with tbe bride jracefully Jeanine on his arm. up one aisle md Mr?-. A. J. China up the other accom? panied by the gallant groom. A3 they reach id the center of the al ur the bride was git en to the groom by her father and then the :ouple advanced uader the lovely canopy where the ceremony was most tenderly, elo? quently and impressively performed by the Rev. H. F. Chreitzberg. who bad come all the way from Chester to tie the lover's-knot For the groom and his former Sunday School scbolnr, the charming bride. He was assist? ed in the execution of this delightful task by the Rev. J. M. Pike, and at its conclusion the bridal patty and about seventy-five invited guests repaired to the heme of the bride on Main Street, where an elegant reception was given. The two beautiful parlors were ablaze with light, redolent with flowers, and the presence of tbe brilliant company of lovely women and their gallant escorts in full dress presented a scene that will never be forgotten by those present on that festive occasion. At half-past nine o'clock the company were invited in the supper room, where a sumptu? ous feast was served in the most approved style. The artistic arrangements of the tables beggars description. Everything that could have pleased the palate were in supera? bundance, and the science of gastronomy was completely exhausted in the preparation for this grand spread. The wedding presents, over a hundred in all, were elegant and costly, and it could be seen at a glance that they would not only be ornamental but useful when the period for housekeeping shall have succeeded that of the delicious Honey Moon. Description of the costumes : The exquisitely rounded figure of tbe bride formed an admirable setting in ber bridal ? costume, which was a beautiful combination | of rare elegance and charming simplicity. It was of white Moire antique with full Renais? sance train draped with illusion. Corsage cut square in front and back, laced io front ! and was beautifully outlined by a heavy ! white silk cord. The sleeves were short and elegantly finished with point duchess lace, j Gloves were long, undress white kids. The j corsage bouqaet was a superb cluster of Mare- I ebal Neil roses and white hyacinths. Orange blossoms were worn with the bridal veil of silk illusion, which covered the face and fell to the full length of the train in the back. The ornaments worn by the bride were con? spicuous for their simplicity and delicate beauty. They were peculiarly Southern and typical of the occasion-the orange blossoms and white pansies.

The groom and bride left that evening on the 11:45 train for the Land of Flowers and from thence they wilj go North. They are now in Washington. Altogether it was one.of the most charm? ing weddings ever seen in our city. "0, blessings on that happy day, the happiest of my life, When, thanks to God, yonr low, sweet "Yes" made you my loving wife ! Your heart will say the same, I know, and that day will be as dear to you That day that made me yours, dear wife." Jesting with Scripture. Mr. Editor: Your correspondent, "Guv," quotes and misapplies the reference to the work of the Apostle Paul and Apollos, 1st Corin? thians, 3rd Chapter, and in a light and flip? pant manner that grates harshly upon the feelings of serious people who reverence the Sacred Scriptures. Dr. Johnson, the great Christian moralist savs, "Idle application of words of Scripture mode of merriment, Sir, which a good man dreads for its profan? ity, and a witty man disdains for .its easiness and vulgarity." VBRBUM SAT. A Fable. Mr. Editor : I hare been trying my hand at writing Latin, and the result is herewith sub? mitted for the criticism of your readers. If; you see f?t, you may append a translation of the fable for the benefit of fbose persons who have not kept np the study of the so-called "dead languages " Many of your readers, however, will doubtless spurn the transla? tion, just as the boys at school spurn s "pony." In writing the fable. I have sought to base it upon facts of such a sort as are familiar to all, and the moral deduced is one with which we have had some recent and striking acquaintance. Any further state? ment would be a reflection upon the good sense of your readers, and hence I desist. THE FABLE. Canis, ovem laniatus, multis diebns in sil? vas errav?t. Lupus eum congressos, rogabit : Cur sic in densas silvas vagaris? Coi canis respondit : Dominus meus mu? tique alii mag nopere propter scelus quod commis) irati sunt. Propositum est mihi, antequam domum redeo, virtutem postponiendi probare. Haec fabula docet, criminalis esse malam rem cifferre. ZENO. TRANSLATION*. A dog having devoured a sheep, wandered ia the forest many days. A wolf having met him, asked : Why do you wander thus in the dense woods? To whom the dog replied: My master and many others are greatly an? gered with me because of a crime I have com? mitted. I purpose to test the virtue of delay before I return home. This fable teaches, it is characteristic of the guilty to postpone a bad case. Elenora Calhoun Tobacco, Finest chew on the market. Try it and be convinced. Manufactured by R. J. Reyuolds, Winston, N.

Feb 22._ THE SOUTH CAROLINA PENITENTIARY BOOT Al SHOE FACTORY, Had the mo?t successful business last year of aHy in its history. The growth of its holi? ness has been truly remarkable. From very small beginnings it has assumed almost si* gantic proportions and its goods are found is the stores of almost every merchant in this Stale and Georgi*. Its mail orders are large and parties once supplied with a li oe of itt goods invariably continue their patronage.
