FAIR PLAY.

RELIeIsss ANNIvERsARIEs.-The period is very
close at haad when the members of the household of
faith will congregate together in New York-which,
for the time being, answers the purposes of New
Jerusalem-to take sweet counsel together, TO see
sights, and pay vists-to equip themselves with the
fashions of this world, and to make friends OF the
mammon of unnghteonsness, but only for once
year. Our streets will soon be filled with eager eyed
rosy checked, and plump looking maidens, and sraid
and motherly matrens, in whose presence the former
still the impetuosty of their gestures, and look at
matters and things in general with a demure and
downcast aspect. Frsm all parts Of this, and the
neighborng States, preparations are making for the
Annual visit to York;" and at this time, in
the language of the psalmist, "great is the multitude
Of the preachers" The mystery Of godness is fell
at this time in great searchngs of the spirit and at the
end Of the sojo1rn here il turns out 10 many of the
ank haired, and stiff cellared gentry that goodness
il great gain" The portion of scripture particular
y appropriate to this, is found in the CXXII psalm,
81 was glad when they said to me, let 60 into The
house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy
gates, Jerusalem: Whittier the tribes 90 up, the
tribes of the Lord anto the testimony of Israel to
give thanks unto the name of the Lord"
All the serious and devout people Of the different
persuasion open their doors take in the reverend
clergy who arrive from the country participate in
the religious exercises of the week; and the thrifty
danes set their houses in order for the reception of
the good and eloquent pastors whom it would be
such sin 10 let 90 10 an hotel. Many will be the
tea parties, and delightful the religious communion
and reveangs of experience which will take place
now in few days. All we hope is that the weather
may be ne that the scrupulously dresses and
white bonnets of the ladies may appear to the best
advantage, and streets and promenades may
not be deprived of their great attraction; for after all
rs said aRd DONE the most serious maiden, the most
Impractcabe Mary, has a spice of coqsetry naiu-
raj desire of display without which she would be no
woman.
TEsrY PsIEsT.-we do not know which affects
most in the following circumstance the absurd an
ger Of the clergyman, the disappointment and NOR
LITIGATION Of the blushing virgin and ardent lover.
"Not long since, while a marriage ceremony was
in progress in England, most amusing crcum-
stance occurred, which completely put stop TO the
performance, most interesting part Of and set
the disappointed maiden and her anxious lover two
different ways any thing rejoicing IL seems that
the ysung couple had gone separately to church for
the purpose Of being made one. The ceremony went
on we'll enough until the minister the words,
" with this nng thee wed !" when the BRIDE, in Try
ing to take her glove oil her maiden hand for the last
or heat perspiratien, the leather cung

company. The bride bushed and pulled; he BRIDE
groom (bod man y laughed sdtright; so did the ia.
Their so did the mother did all the spectators ex-
cept the clergyman, and he exclaimed, 81 did net
come here to be laughed At; and shutting the book
left the ceremony half finished the bride half mar
RED, and the glove half oil. It'll happily added, how
ever, apparently for the information Of all who may
sympathlze with the disappointed fair one that she
tried again the next day with much success. That
time she went to church with gloveless hands, and
the nupaI knot tied "ughl as glove"
Ourfsir readers will sympahze with the hope de-
ferred Of the poor bride, who very evident, had
not studied the moral and natural philosophy Of Lord
Byrons quatrain
"I1 her nru passion woman loves her lever,

which grows habit she ne'er get ever,
