Anecdcte Of Garribaidi.

Editor of The Tribune:
have just heard an anecdote abou. Gauibadi
winch may interest your readers.
when the Pope fled from Rome everything was
10 confusion, and the Assembly was bewildered.
daribaldi saw and heard what was going on. and
though at the time suffering from the breaking ont
OF old wounds, caused two of his soldier. 70 snD
port him to the chamber Of the Assembly WHARF
he bad Alright to sit having been chosen as dele.
gate by one Of the provinces After the rira's and
compliments were over the President Of the Assam.
by said This is a sad day for Us, General, and
We have matter FOR deep deliberation. What think
you Of the crisis We must establish some form
Of Government Some OF the members began to
murmur to each other "a Republic, Republic"
when Garribaldi rose slowly to his feet and said :
al am no dpomstist know nothing at all Of di.
plonacy. ANA man OF arms. | have nothing
but common sense to guide me. 1t seems to me
then, that you have to decide between two things
either to let the Pope come back, with fall powers
and submit yourselves to bis will, or else you must
seek for government in yourselves. You must
establish Republic He sat down, and the De.
bate went on till it resulted in the establishment of
that Republic that has shed fresh glory on the time
honored name Of Rome. INN,

MARRIAGE IN DIFFERENT NATIONS.

In Ceylcn, one of the principal ceremonies
consists in tying together the clothing of the
bridegroom and bride, 10 signify that they
are bound together for life This ceremony
is performed in the presence of their friends,
and with such festivities as the means Of the
parties will admit
In Java there are three kinds of marriages.
The first and most common is where the
paIties are 10 equal condition, or the BRIDE
groom is the superior of the bride; the sec
ond is, when the wife's station is much high.
er than that Of the husband and the third is
kind of half marriage, the odsprings of
which are not admitted TO an equality with
other children. This marriage is quite un.
ceremonious, but the two other modes are
celebrated with some display. The first
wife is always the head of the family.
Girls in Java, are married at so early an
age tina, single woman of twenty-five is al
most unheard of. A price is always paid by
the bridegroom The groom, splendidly noun
ted, accompanied by his friends, with music,
goes TO salute his bride. She comes out and
meets them with low obeisance They sill
together on an elevated seat, and eat out OF
the same dish, after which they go 10 The
mosque, and the nuptials are celebrated ac-
cording to the Mahommedan ritual. Then
ensues wedding procession through the
village, wedding feast, and at the end o.
five days another procession, in which The
bride is conducted TO the presence her hus
band. In some places the spinning wheel
loom, and kitchen utensils are carried in The
bridal procession. In others, the bride wash.
es the bridegroom's feet, in token Of subiec.

THE ECONsUMPTIvE's PRAYER FOR SPRING
BY O. O. FOSTER,

| -
Life breathing spirit! why thy spell delay,
Vaing thy radiant form in mist and cloud!
| How, through the winter hours, so numb and
My grasping heart for thee has called
| aloud ..
Struggling In fiery pain beneath the shroud
| Already binding up my limbs in death,
While yet my veins with life's rich blood
enhowed.
Tingle with exquisite sensation, and my
breath
With its voupruous pants my brain bewilder-
eth
All fragile frame, that once was fair and
strong,
Thrilling with life, as brave Cathedral aisles
Thrill with the spirit of winning song
Fail me not yei! illspring creative smiles,
B,Imv with lifp- breath from a thousand isles.
Still the faint warfare hour bv hour prolonv!
Perchance the pnwer that wins with sEeela
est wles
The rose from winters dealh and bids
rrplay H.
liza perfume haunted life, will let me also stay!
Oh God Tha, should die and love not
pass,
With The full fountains of my heart un-
sealed,
Into The realms OF nohingness. Alas
That life to me shnnld e'er have been re-
vealpd,
lf unpnoved The grant must be repealed.
Alas! Tha, must die, while all around,
see protected BY some viewless shield,
The mLdIt-sged, the old, with white hairs
crowned,
Amid Deaths arrowy storm stand safe with
ont a wound.
IT'S but horrid dream-a phantom iend,
Reckoning with grisey hand my frighied
soul
To thoughts of madness. Henceforih | am
weauei
From such weak baby-visions, that once
stole
The color from my cheek and the control
or my own being from myself. Away!
For me not yet the clamorous bell shall
toll
Deaths pulse, whose beating herads but
decay
For me still throbs The life of many golden
day.
All me Wha, sudden pangs dart through my
Wrenching each wasted nerve TO torture
slow
Along my veius like an expiring fame,
| feel the thick blood family come and 90,
While over me, like flakes Of singing snow
A choking vapor falls. My eyes are dim
My weary heart stands still and faint and
low
With dying agony my senses swim
Farewell, oh earth and life God calls me
unto Him!
