Many were the sincere congratulations and kind wishes that all the fond hopes and bright anticipations of the ones about to enter upon the real journey of life might be fully realized, and that they might find in each other those characteristics of mind and heart that should bind them closer together as they journeyed hand in hand down the rugged pathway of life. The bride and groom were the recipients of many useful, valuable and elegant gifts from their friends and well wishers. The host and hostess were successful in entertainment, and contributed in a high degree to the pleasure of the large circle of friends who had come together in honor of the occasion. After the ceremony the guests sat down to a magnificent repast, which had been gotten up by the mother of the bride, and which elicited much praise from the entire company. Mr. Keyes and wife are two of our most worthy young people, and we in common with their many friends here and elsewhere indulge in the hope that their star of destiny many shed resplendent rays on the pathway strewn with roses from which all the thorns of discontent have been plucked, and that each may find in their chosen partner for life that which will make their home an earthly paradise. The young people have set out on the Journey of married life with bright prospects, and with the hearty wishes of a host of acquaintances, that prosperity and happiness may attend their ways, and abide in their house till the end of time. The happy couple left on the evening train for a visit to New York city. [Chenango Union, Oct. 25, 1883]
