Hymen still continues to be the ruling divini-
ty in the upper circles of the town. Every day
there is a grand wedding, and the carriages Of
the guests fill the streets Of the neighborhood.
The great rivalry at these weddings seems to be
in regard to Bridal Presents ; and every sue
ceeding nuptial show far eciipses all previous
exhibitions. One entire room is devoted to
these gifts, <somc malicious persons call them
tcmporary-loans,) and the articles of biouterie
are spread out and labeled with the names Of
the donors, and frequently with the accompa-
nying notes. The display is equal to a jewelers.
shop. There are knick knacks of use and Or
nament, ranging in value from IS to $4,000
and the aggregate cost Of the ants often
swells to a fabulours figure. We have heard
estimates as high as $25,000.
A mercenary wag remarked, on gazing at
one of these grand shows, that /" it was reu lily
an object to get married." Among the latest
of these bridal displays, we noticed a novelty,
in the shape Of sacred vestments, to be worn
nearest the person Of the bride-a muslin mys-
terry of lace and embroidery that battles all
description. But the subject is altogether too
delicate for proiane handIing-and too delicate,
we think, for public exhibition. Besides, to
find such a rufflcd bosom in the nuptial paradise,
is not exactly the thing. IN. Y. Mirror.

A Little Church.

The NewYork Journal of Commerce has a
letter from a correspond dent who recently visited
the isle of Wight, in which the writer says: y
We stopped to ser the Little Church st,

a beautiful little bu but more likt q

ID feet, inside measures, exclusive the
chancel, which is a modern addition side,

An antiquity Of nearly a thousand , is
claimed for this little oratory. A churA yard
of proportional size surrounds it, filled with
graves. All is kept in the neatest possible order.
An ivy shrouds one end Of the church, and
overtops the tiny belfry.
