We wish the young couple a long, happy and prosperous life, and may they 
realize the fact, that
“Connubial love has dearer names,
And finer ties, and sweeter claims,
Than e’er unwedded hearts can feel,
Than wedded hearts can e’er reveal’
Pure as the charities above,
Rise the sweet sympathies of love;
And closer cords than those of life,
Unite the husband to the wife.

“Sweet tie that links as one
Two spirits fond and true – 
What, what is all that time has done,
Or all that time can do!
Recorded vows of love
In heaven for e’er abide,
And none shall part, save one above,
The bridegroom and the bride.”

Miss Sarah E. McNealy, - all of Clay County.
Cake received!
Though fools spurn Hymen’s gentle powers,
We, who imp rove his golden hours,
By sweet experience know,
That marriage, rightly understood,
Gives to the tender and the good
A paradice below.”

“Hail, happy state! which few have heart to sing,
Because they feel how faintly words express
So kind, and dear, and chaste, and sweet a thing
As tried affection’s lasting tenderness;
Yet stop, my venturous muse! and fold they wing,
Nor to a shrine so sacred rudely press;
For, marriage, - thine is till a silent boast,
“Like beauty unadorned, adorned the most.””
