GLASBY.—Sacred to the loving memory of John Rupert Clarence (Clarry), the dearly-beloved son of John and Jeannette Glasby, of Fernlea, Maroon, who was drowned on the 20th October, 1894, aged 5 years and 2 weeks. Deeply regretted,
This loving bud, so young, so fair,
Called hence from early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise can bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade
Death came, with friendly care,
This opening bud to Heaven conveyed,
And bade him blossom there.
Inserted by his sorrowing relatives.

A pretty wedding was celebrated at Redcliffe on Monday, the 19th instant, when Mr. J. A. Baxendell, head master of the Downs Grammar School, Toowoomba, was married to Miss Henzell (Annie), eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Henzell, of Seabrae, Redcliffe. The ceremony took place at the hall, Redcliffe, in which the Church of England services are conducted. The altar was vested in white, and decorated with four vases of beautiful white flowers, the main body of the building being embellished with greenery by the bride's Redcliffe friends. The service, which was semi-choral, commenced punctually at 1 o'clock, at which hour the bride entered the building leaning on the arm of her father, and attended by little Miss Clara Henzell (Baby) as maid, and Master Arthur Leighton as page. Both the latter were prettily dressed in heliotrope and cream. Mr. Baxendell, attended by Mr. W. E. Graham, awaited the bride at the altar. The congregation immediately joined in the opening hymn, " The voice that breathed o'er Eden," under the leadership of Mr. J. N. Waterworth, who presided at the organ. The vicar of the district (the Rev. J. F. Leighton) was the officiating clergyman. Immediately the service was over the bridal party adjourned to the vestry, where the usual formal signatures in the register were entered. The wedding party then drove to Seabrae, where Mr. and Mrs. Henzell hospitably entertained a numerous company of guests. The bride and bridegroom left early in the afternoon for the North Pine, en route for Brisbane and Tambourine Mountain. The wedding presents, which were numerous and costly, included several cheques, as well as many handsome and useful articles.
The bride wore a very becoming costume of white Liberty embossed silk, made with a short train ; the corsage was handsomely trimmed with chiffon, and fastened with sprays of orange blossoms ; the sleeves, novel and effective, were ruckled to the elbow, and finished with puffings of silk and chiffon ; a tulle veil and wreath of orange blossoms and shower-bouquet completed the toilette. Mrs. Henzell (the bride's mother) wore a dress of black merveilleux, with trimmings of white silk, veiled in black lace ; a very stylish bonnet to match costume. Mrs. Baxendell (mother of the bridegroom), a very handsome dress of brown surah ; bonnet to match, relieved with shot silk flowers. Miss Knox (cousin of bridegroom), a very pretty dress of buttercup voile, trimmed with green and buttercup shot moire ribbon ; a hat of buttercup embroidered lace, trimmed with shot poppies, completed a very handsome toilette. The bride's travelling dress was of electric green and black, with hat and gloves to match.
