The pose of the figure is easy and characteristic, but the charm of the por- trait is in the bappy treatmeut of the head. he expression is, perhaps, » serious one, but there is an air of dignity and gravity which well becowes the veteran Prime Minister.

A Jarge number of people assembled at the tirat Methodist Church this morning to witness the marriage of Mr. R. C. Goff, of the weil-kncwn firm of Gotf Bros., and Miss Millie Higgs, daughter of Bb. W. Higgs.jEsq. The ceremony was performed by Kev. John Read. The bridesmaids were Miss Katie Higgs, sister of the bride, and Miss Lwuisa Dawson; Messrs, B. D. Higgs and Lewis W. Goff, brothers of the. bride and yroom respectively, were groomsmen. Mr. H. L. Heartz presided at the organ. After the ceremony Mr. and Mra.

On the eve cf hia marriage, Mr. Goff was presented with an address, accompanied by a beautiful silver tea service from the firm's employes. The uddress was as follows :

To Mr. R. C. Goff:

Allow us to congratulate you op your good fortune, and wishing you and your intended bride all the blessings with which a union of hearts as well as of hands can poseibly be crowned. Henceforth you bave two worlds before you—the general world to which we all belong, and a little domestic world of your own, With the joys of which no s'ranger can intermeddie, Even adversity cannot permen- ently blight or darken the ideas that mutual love creates, It is misfortune-proof; and while we hope that your future lives may be full of sunshive we feel that if a cloud should now and then shadow the path yuu ju sir, atlection will give it a silver lining ‘* Single biesseducss” is a fallacy. The lonely life of a bachelor is after all w state of penance, and the sooner the solitary creature obtains au indulgence” in the sh»pe of a good wife the better fur bim. The best of us is but a maiety of amen, aud imperfest being until he is completed and embellished by en addi- tion of a better half. The fact is we are all vagrants until the ladies have taken pity on ue and given us an object ia life and a home of our own, May you hare a joyous bridal tiip, and may your journey thiough life be over @ pleasant road without any impediments that energy and affectjon canvut easily over- come, We offer our congratulations to you and your fair bride, aud we ask your acceptance of this snall token of our respect and aflection fo you, trom

Youn Empioves.

I scarcely feel that we deserve anything from your haude, £ have simp'y tried to de my duty towards you, end it will be my endeavor in the future te promote your intereets, and in our business relations to deal ont impartial justive toafiof you. We will often look back vn these scenes an! remember you. We hope that your future as it opens up will become brighter and brighter. We sll kuow that many trisls await us hore, but if we are faithful to one another, aad faithful to God, our livea will be a pleasant aatisfacton, aul at the last we will hear thst beautiful sentence; ‘Well dove good and faithful servant enter thou unto thy joy.”
