MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY,


On the 18th inst, by Rev. Ransiord Wells, in
Washington Hall, in Howe's Cave, 10 O'Clock
=. NJ, Mr.. Peter House, Of Cherry Valley, to
Miss Jerurha Catharine Flint, Of the town of
Cana ajoharie.
Those who have visited Howe's Cave
will remember that w ashington Hall is
about three hundred feet from the en-
| trancc--a splenaid room about one hun
dred feet in length, thirty in width, and
fifty in height. From the entrance, the
floor rises on each side in the form OF
an amphithca,re, On the north side ~
,pacious recess with two lolty Gothic
arches, in one OF which is statue Of
Gen. WASHINGTON, magnificent sta
lactite. standing out in bold relief. The
passr &C 10 the Hall is ample-,he path
smooth and dry.
The party, consisting oi about twenty,
in bridal costume proceeded to the Hall
at 10 o'clock p. M, The bride and
bridegroom, with their attendants, took
their places in the recess on an elevat-
cd platform. The company were ar
ranged OH the opposite side, one hun
dred feet distant The effect was sol
emn and impressive. The CLEAN OF the
torches surrounded the group with daz-
zling brightness, but shed sombre
light upon the vaulted roof and into the
reccsses Of the gothic arches. 1t SEEM
ed Ike "A vast cathedral, filed with de-
vout worshippers, who were awe strick-
Ell by the magic combination Of gloom
and splendor. While the ceremony
was performed the company stood IN
breathlcss silence, and when they came
to congratulate the bride, the ladies
burst into tears to relieve their deep en-,
otion.
Those who were present will never
forge, the wild romance OF the scene,
nor the profound soIemnity of the ser.
vice, and in alter life they will be re-
membered as producing that sense OF
grandeur and sublimity which lift the
thoughts to God and eternity, and dis
pose the soul to devoutest worship.
Aitor the ceremonies the party re
turned to the Hotel, and SAT down to an
ample and well-served rcpast, seasoned
by the playful remarks and gentleman

TIE Deum Lauda HI US.
by MISS l.. VIRGINIA SMITH.

1's D.um Lasddmus! II rings like warning
Afar up the cloud columned dome Of the morning;
When light gds the East with a smile .rridesoent,
And the pale moon is hiding her elimmorng crescent;
When star -firrn In ether are slow wly declining,
And the dawn Of the beautiful Sabbath Is shining.
This hymn to the Deity, sof, silence breaking,
Comes not from a. dread Druid cirole awakingj
No "io triumphe" of love, or of Pallas
No wild Aztec chant from n proud Iorcsllis -
Nor yet does IL rise where the anthem is pealing,
And mutitudes low to the Saviour are kneeling,
re D,um Lauddnius 'Tis Nature's diurnsl
Devotional song to Jehovah Eternal
Where shadows Of Time, in amyslic rehearsal,
Give voice To the tones of a ny,nn universal,
Til stately and solemn is eohoing DER III
The infinite swell Of Eterntys chorus!
The light with respondent aud shadowIess current,
Comes down like blessing from God all-apparent;
1, comes and the heart Of the univetse filling
Win visible music, in rapture is thrilling,
And us wind haunted c.verns The deep souls of men
Re echo tho great "IIallelujah" again!
The brigh, valley glows like II nlist-shrouded cen
serj
A vast hutsd organ, the deep mountain gorges
Roll onward, and upward, their musical surges;
And the lar sound Of waters in dim forests sraying,
Steals up like the murmnr of mui,itudes praying.
Down the long woodland aises is that melody sound
ing,
Arousng the lark from the shadows surrounding
All fresh from the rite of dewy bapIismal,
Swift soaring he fades in the ether abysmal -
As erst while the anthem aud or, on blended
The soul Of young saint to glory ascended.
II. Deuni Lduddmus sublimely and slowly
Goes up the great voice Of this festival holy,
All clouds, as it rises disparting asunder,
With grand diapason Of jubilant thunder,
Triumphant, yet bowed to the mighty who swsye,h
