/. The dense mass of people, were hushed in
!. to an oppressive stiffness, that was broken
here and there by halfxifed sohs. AT this
moment there was movement in the crowd.
A single female figure, before whom every
one appeared instinctively to give way, was
seen passing up the aisle. This was not OBJ
served by Delaney, until she had come
nearly in front Of the platform on which he
stood. Then the movement caught his ear,
and lifting his eyes, that Instantly fell upon
Alice--for it was she that was pressing on
ward--he bent forward towards her with
suddenly lifted hands and eager eyes, and
stood like statue until she had gained the
stand, and advanced quickly to his side.
For moment the two stood thus, the whole
audience thrilled with the scene, were upon
their feet and bending forward. Then De-
laney opened his arms, and Alice threw her
self upon his bosom with quick, wild ges-
ture. Thus, for the full space Of . minute
they stood-every one fully, as by a singu-
lar intuition, understanding the scene. One
of the ministers then came forward, and
gently separated them. {s a15 III

Before that large assemblage, all standing,
and few with dry eyes, was said in broken
voice, the marriage ceremony that gave De-
laney and Alice again to each other. AS
the. minister, an aged man, with thin white
locks, finished the rite, he laid his hands up-
on the heads Of the two he had Joined in
holy bonds, and lifting up his aged eyes
that streamed with drops Of gladness, he
said, in solemn voice: m n ..rssy .als.,.

lived in Albany, and last on a farm two miles be-
low the city. Sent to the House of Refuge, and
died. Philadelphia Ledger, Sept. 20. ss

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, everlasting. iberalIzing
in its moral tendencies, progressive equally IN lis

"Wnh thoughts like these, frequently survey

greatest misfortune to our couniry-would it have
weakened her resources impaired her spirit, or
grea.Iy diminished her territorial limits. had our
Southern neichbor actually thrown herself upon
that ultima ratio hich she SO long threatened"
Another. perhaps an equally ensusastic adml-
rer of truth writes thus:
"At this Iare day not one>ihird of the army here
could take the field for The limited means we

That very general failure Of crops of all
kinds has taken place nearly throughout the old

the more oppressed and populous countries gauni
famine in fact prevails. Ireland already begns to

Gazette gives detailed account ofihe condition
of Europe which summed up, amounts TO this:
that some countries have barely enough for their
own consumption lille others are lamenably de-

The price of wheat and -four, however. in the
