some of the same ceremonial that tradition and Kab-

will be observed on the present occasion. The mo-
Their father and relatives of the youth Will be pre-
sent
To this ceremonial will succeed the Kedushin, IN
which most beautiful young Hebrew maiden and
Hebrew youth will be the principal personages OF the
group. Several Of their relatives-of the seed OF
Israel from New Orleans, Baltimore and Charleston,
will be present. and we are not without hopes OF re-
ceving ticket to the splendid ceremonial at the
,--;77S r-a, called in our language Beth hedaI-
shin On this occasion, one OF the Psalms OF Da-
vid will be sung in the original language, accom-
panied with the same chaunt, or as near as may be,
which was in use in the reign of Solomon. 1t IS the
Forty Fifth Psalm and we annex translation for
the benefit of those who may be so happy as to at
tend and who are not acquainted with the original.
Its composition is as beautiful the happy pair who
are to be united in the holy bands of Kedashin. We
think every daughter of Israel ought to understand the
sentiments of the Psalm whenever it Is chaunted,
which is always the case at marriages. We shall not
say whether this compositlon prophetic of the Mes
siah whether il was composed in honor of King So
omon by some courlly bard and that the special &C.
cason of il was his marriage with an Egyptian prn-
cess or whether 1t is Inauguration or coronation
