A LOVELY BRIDE

was spending an hour, not long since, in turn
ing the pages of pleasant MISCELLANY in the
course of which my eye fell upon the following
perhaps rare, but beautiful and touching incident,
in the history of one who that day was to become
a bride.
party of lively and interested cousins and
friends had assembled at the bridal mansion for
the purpose of decorating the drawing room. where
the marriage ceremony was to be performed Al
length, this pleasant duty being accomplished,
they retired happy in contributing the Joy of an
occasion which, while it would take from them
one whom they loved. would unite that one to the
object of her highest regard. The room was
beautifully decorated with rich and variegated
bouquets. and on centre table lay the qaIy adorn-
ed BRIDES loaf, an object of great Importance
| said all had retired from the lovely spot
but there was ofthe cousins who, short Tune
after, stole gently back to look once more at the
varied beauty of the scene and to indulge by her
self the hopes and anticipations of an afFectonae
heart, for the future happiness of her friend. She
gently opened the door, and was about entering,
when she noticed the sofa was wheeled round to
the precise spot where that evening, the happy
pair were To rise and exchange their solemn
vows; and there the lovely bride was kneeing,
so absorbed in her own solemn thoughts that the
intrusion of her friend was unnoticed. The friend
stood for a moment gazing in holy admiration at
kneel by her side but the occasion was too sa-
cred to admit of social union and she retired.
And what SD solemn and absorbing occupy
ing the thoughts of this happy being? Was it
the anticipations Of worldly felicity that had
brought her there? Looking round upon the
beauty and aaiety Of the room. where, in few
hours, she would give her hand to him whom she
preferred TO all others on earth. had she, in the
wldness and excess Of her emotions, fallen into
reverie? Nothing Of the kind. Delighted she
might be, and justly was; but she had one duty
to perform, high and holy duty, ere she plirhed
her vows to the object of her earthly affections
There, in that spot where she would soon stand
and surrender her earthly all to her husband. she
would first consecrate herself TO the Lord. The
prior conservation was due to him. On that alta,
she wished TO offer an earlier and boiler incense
on that spot to make record Of the prior deed
which she had given Of herself 10 her superior

WHO POLICY

1t an individual having large landed estate,
bringing IN vast annual revenue, should deed il
away and then propose 10 borrow great sum of
money, not only would capitalists refuse 10 make
the loan, but they would vote him crazy. Thus
1t was with our government in 1912, when the
wings were in power. The wing majority in
Congress at the extra session of lS4l. passed an
act providing for the distribution of the proceeds
OF The sales OF the public land, for all time 10
come, among the several States. and then au-
thorlzed the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
bonds and borrow twelve millions of dollars, at
SIX per cent to carry on the government! Money
holders laughed at such fnanciering. and chinked
the dollars IN their deep pockets to the tune OF
- ou 6dnt hum IT," Our bonds were hawked
over half the world to find a purchaser. and The
Treasury was left without dollar to paw current
expenses. The Distribution scheme is absurd. -

less than to individuals, never in their life time

and don't kno,c IL. And now, continued the
venerable old man. his eyes lighted up with in
tense animation, rest assured, my dear sir. that
man who is not a better Judge of preaching than
that is wholly unfit TO be your companion. And
BESIDES he added. : if he were the prodigy the
Secretary ct State represents him TO be, he would
be less anxious to confer his services to you-he
would he rather anxious TO retain them himself.

before, his love would have become more pure and
intense; he would have said--no, perhaps with
perfect truth, for others, it is to be hoped have
done SO before her-but he might be forgiven if,
In his ardor and admiration, he had exclaimed.

excellest them all"
| What beautiful example for the imitation of
those who are about to be led TO the hymeneai al
tar! Most beautiful! most becoming! know
not the subsequent history of that lovely BRIDE"
but am sure she never repented Of that act of
Standardization to God. She may not, indeed,
have escaped sorrow and affection but if they
were her lot, know that God would remember
the kindness Of her youth. He would not forsake
her. She might bury husband, and children, and
friend; she might suffer sickness and poverty !;
but In no hour would her Heavenly Father for
sake her; he would guide her by his council, and
afterwards receive her to glory. Youthful fe-
males! would you lay the foundation of future
peace; would you provide against the reverses of
fortune; would you have friend and protector

may set in upon you, initiate the example Of

HOW DISPOSED OF.

Washington correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce learns that the officers of the Texas
Navy will probably be taken into the service of
the United States. This, he understands, is the
intention of the President. OF course, the nom-
nations must be acted on by the Senate Com.
Moore will, it is believed be nominated either as
Post Captain or for lieutenancy. which rank he
held when he resigned for the purpose of entering
the Texan service. The Texan army has been
dsbanded There are no army officers, therefore,
now in the Texan service
