THE BRIDE.

THE BRIDE.
BY CHARLES JEFFREY
On take her, but be faithful still,
And may the bridal vow
Be sacred held in afte years.,
And warmly breathed as now.
Remember, It's no common tie
That binds her youthful heart;.
IT'S one that only truth should weave,
And only falsehood part.
The joys of childhood's happy hour,
The home of rlper years,
The treasured sc-ues of early youth,
In sunshine aIri III tear
The purest hopes her bosom knew
When her young heart was free
All these and ore she now resigns,
To brave the world with thee.
Her lot in life ia fixed with thine,
In good aud i'll to share
Aud we'll know twill b. hrr rride
To sootlie each sorrow t!Gls.
Then take her, and may neeting time
Mark only joys increase,
And may your days glide calmly on.
In happiness and peace.

"My God!'' the beauty Oft exclaimed,
With deep impassoned tone
But not in humble prayer she named
The high and holy One
Twas not upon the be nded knee,
With soul appraised to heaven,
Pleading with heartfelt agony
That she might be forgiven
Twas not in heavenly strains to raise
To the great source of good
Her daily Offering of praise
Her song of gratitude.
But, in the gay and theughtless crowd,
And in the festive hall
mid scenes of mrth and mockery proud,
She named the Lord OF all.
She called upon that awful name
When Laughter loudest rang
Or when the flash of triumph
Or disappointment's pang!
The idlest things that aattery knew,
The most unmsaning jest,
From those sweet lips protanely drew
Names of the Hottest
l thought--how sweet that voice would be,
Breathing this prayer to hsaven-

Leap Yer.-I'he following is extracted
from an old volume printed i'll 1906, entitled
Courtship, Love, and Matrimonie :-"Albeit
it is now become part of the common lave,
in regard to social relations of life, that as of
ten as every bissextile year doth return, the
adyes have the sole privilege, during the time
it continueth, of making love unto the men,
which they do either by words or lookes, as
unto them it seemeth proper: and moreover,
no man will be entitled to the benefits of clergy
who doth refuse to accept the offers of a
adye, or who dothe in any wise treat her pro-
posal with slight or contumely."

R11NKBR HILL CONVENTION.

We have always said that it was fortunate for
the United States, that Massachusetts had her
BunkerIIill, her Boston Harbor, and her Faneuil
Hall The children, as they grow up, read the
history of their fathers, and as they look on
these hallOwed spots, learn to emulate the deeds
of their heroic ancestors. Whether her orators
be in the right or in the wrong, their impulses
are for their country, and Faneuil Hall is sacred
to the cause of liberty.
In addition to the natural impulse, the oeca-
sion of the late meeting on Bunker Hill was
calculated to arouse the higher elements of pa
tr1otic feeling; and if we are to judge from the
glowing accounts given of the Convention, it
was done in the best style of yankee feeling
