THE HEART.

Nh : could we read the human heart,
lis strange mysterious depths explore,
What tongue could tell or pen impart,
The riches offs hidden lore!
Safe from the worlds distrustlul eve,
What deep and burning feelings play,
Which cen stern reasons power defy,
And wear the sands OF life away.
Think not beneath a smiling brow,
To always find a joyous heart.
For Wits bright glow, and reasons flow,
Too often hide cankering dart.
The bird with bruised and broken wing,
Of tries 10 mount the air again,
Among It's mates to gaily sing.
It's last melodious dying strain.
The fire that lights the flashing eye,
May by burning heart be fed,
Which in its anguish yearns to die,
While yet it seems to pleasure wed.
Oh, DO not harshly Judge the heart,
Though cold and vain il seems to be,
Nor rudely seek the veil to part,
That hides its deep, deep mystery.

A MEXICAN WEDDING.
MIDNIGHT CEREMONY.

A correspondent of the Picayune, in a
late letter from Camargo. gives the follow
/ ing description of a Mexican wedding
which he attended:
A Mexican wedding is TO come off in
the church tomorrow night at one clock
and am going to form one of the party.
This getting married, at ''the solemn hour
of midnight" is new idea to me. and
would not miss the scene for any con-
sideration VIII thev invite one to kiss
the bride. WONDERLAND if invited ought
a fellow to prof, by the privilege! But
we will see the bride before we decide
these nomcntoGs questions.
Capt. Miles, on being informed of the
wish OF the party to hold the wedding to-
night. extended to them every facility for
gong through with the ceremony unmo-
Tested. Had he received information a
little earlier he would have furnished them
with music, so that regular ball would
have taken place.
AUG. ID. attended the wedding last
night. and shall never regret it, though it
is rather hard TO be reused out Of 4 sound
slgmbeF at ] o'clock at night. At half
/ past l we entered the church. where the
PADRE and his assistants were already
robed for the ceremony. These assistants
consisted of an elderly Mexican and four
boys, the latter being three-fourths Indian.
The altar was lighted up with long wax
candles, set IN massive silver candle
sticks. and candles were also burning in
the vicinity OF the large wax figures in
other parts of the building. The bride
groom soon made his appearance with
the bride. attended by bridesmaid and
groomsman. The bridesmaid, a beautiful
little woman, was dressed in black-a
prettier figure | never looked at. The
bride. tall, awkward, plain-looking wo-
man of twenty-three, was dressed In dark
figured stuff. The bridegroom. short,
stumpy fellow, about 80 years old, with
an ugly visage, had on white pants and a
| blue roundabout. He looked confused,
and took very little notice Of the bride; in
fact he acted like man who felt that he
was getting himself INTO a disagreeable
situation. The first part of the ceremony
was similar to that observed in Louisiana.
The hands were joined, ring placed upon
the finger, etc. The parties then knelt
before he altar, and one end of beauti-
( lul silk rebozo was thrown over the
brides head, the other end falling about
the shoulders OF the bridegroom. A sill
( ken cord, about the size of the little fin-
ger, with regular hangman's moose, was
then slipped over the head of each, yo-
king them together hard and fast. They
remained in this position, holding lighted
candles in their hands, for nearly an hour
| The bride became wearied, and leaned q
little on the rope, but not hard enough tc
choke the loving husband. The padre
was in the meantime engaged in PRAYER
and one of the boys rang little silver

audience Of twenty or thirty, who crossed
themselves, and then relapsed into lhei
former state of stupidity. All hands re-
tired quietly from the church. and scatter
