An interesting scene.

MUTE MARRIAGE SERVICE IS THE EPIs-
coPAL CHuncH.--It is seldom we have wit
messed so beautiful ceremony as the mar
riage Of Miss Ellen L., of Boston, to
Mr. Trist, of Philadelphia, son of the well
known negotator of the Treaty Of Gauda-
lupe Hidalgo, which took place on Tuesday
morning in the pretty parish Church at
New Brighton, L. l. The bridal couple
were both mutes-deaf and dumb from in
fancy. No sweet sound had ever enchant-
ed tho eternal silence Of their mind But
the intelligence and spirit which flashed
from the dark eyes of the lovely, bride,
proved that The intellect was MS bright
within, as among her moro favored sisters.
We all know the exquisite beauty Of the
marriage service Of the Episcodal Church,
but new graces and force were lent it by
tho symbolic rendering Of tho Rev. Mr..
Gallaudet, who with Rev. Pierre Irving
performed tho ceremony. The Rov. Mr..
Irving very slowly and emphatically read
the service, which Mr. Gallaudet translated
by signs with wonderful fidelity and rapid
ity, the bride and groom, repeating these
signs as they were indicated by their clegy-
man. Several times the sign-language
fingered after the word-language had ceas-
ed, and then the silence which reigned in
the church and the breathlcss interest
which enchanted every spectator was al
most painful The solemn vows being
symboled before the Thr ne Of Grace, the
Lords Prayer followed; and who can de-
scribe tho mute oloquence of that mute
prayer so devotionally followed by tho
young couple! When tho nuptial bene-
diction was silently pronunced above the
lowly bowed heads of the keeling pair,
there was that which spoke louder than
words in the graceful sign-languago of the
officiating minister. A few lotters-a word
OF two--then tho hands appraised towards
Heaven--to "God," who had "bound to-
getber"-the tight clasped hands-the soul
speaking glance upward away upward
again few wordi-the hands placed in
blessing upon the heads of tho new "man
and wife"-a solemn silenco--and all was
over. No ono moved for somo moments
We all felt wo had caught glimpse of the
spirit land and We longed for ono more
glance into that spirit world. But the
groom was leading his beautiful, graceful
bride 10 the Church door; we havo hel
quiet happy smile put away in our memo
ry to gladden. some dark hour Fro we
could utter fcrvenL "God bless you," they
had quietly passed sway-alono with theil
mute happiness.--M Y. Eroress.

matters ordinarily considered Of much,

surely not without reason the great work

event of the present age, the effect Of
which upon the present and future gener-
ations the world over, fails to be conceiv-
ed by human perception. We believe it
will, not only in form, but fully and firm.
y unite the two continents, and the nations
upon either side OF the great deep, in one
common brotherhood, and prove the har-

peace and prosperity.
1t is the greatest project man has set
on foot for years, and its complete success
nav well cause the hearts Of our people
to swell with new emotions Of Joy and
pride. Who, ten years ago, but would
have called him an idle dreamer or a spc.

Union of Nations.

The long lookodfor aud long prayed.
for Millennium has at last burst upon the
world. Continents so long severed by
the upheavings of the ocean, have been
united. The race has been welded in
bonds Of universal Brotherhood. Al.

been hi'pering 10 each other while the
hearts of both nations pulsale in mutual
congratulations.
The laying Of the Submarine Gable, is
doubtless the most sublime achievement
of the nineteenth century. 1t is not sim
ply wonderful, bu, it is practical and use-
ful. 1t will do much good, perhaps the
greatest good in working out the grea,
problem Of the well being of the race.
BY its use, man will be brought in close
contact with his fellows; individuals and
nations will understand each other better,
and hence peace and goodwill must be
the result. lnterrommunication of thought
and sentiment, will assimilate and fuse the
jaring elements of earth, and cause man
to respect that great principle of right,
which will mite men in the bonds Of uni.
versal Brotherhood.
The nations of the earth, will be able
to sit IN their own Legislative halls, and do
business with each other. Parliament
will need no longer the services of Lord

With burning check and brow
Ye deem the curse still clngs to earth
From old'n times till now
But while ye feel 'tis hard to toll
And labor all day through,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work to do!
Ho We who plow the seas blue fields
Who ride the restless wave.
Beneath whose ga liant vessels keel
There lies yawing grave.
Around who's bark the wintery winds
Like fends of fury rave
Oh, while We feel is hard to toll
And labor long hours through,

Ho! We upon whose fervorcd cheeks

changes as tey are to be found ia their

Nanutacturcd.-"T Autocrat of the Break
fast table," in the last Atlantic Monthly, seems
to be sort of fund upon which the news
paper world can draw at pleasure 1t is seldom
that one production has contained so many read
able little items. Here's what he says upon the
subject of money, blood, &c.
We are forming an aristocracy, as youmay
observe, in this country,-not a gratiG-Dei, nor
a jurc-dirino one,-buta de,tact0 upper stratum
of being, which floats over the turbid waves of
common life as the iridescent film you may have
seen spreading overthe water about our Whnrves
very splendid, though its origin may have
been tar, tallOvy, train-oil, other such unctu-
Gus commodities. say, then, we are forming
an aristocracy; and, transitory as its individual
life often is, it maintains itself tolerably, as a
whole OF course, money is its Cornerstone
But now observe this. Money kept for two or
three generations transforms race,-I don't
mean merely in manners and hereditary culture,
but in blood and bone. Money buys airs and
sunshine, in which children grow up more kind
ly, of course than i'll close, backs Streets it buys
country-places to give them happy and healthy
summers, good nursing, good doctoring, and the
best cuts of beef and mutton. When the
spring chickens come to market beg

among them, other things being equal, are apt
to attract those who can afford the expensive
luxury of beauty. 3 Tho physical character of
the next generation rises i'll consequence 1t is
plain that certain families have in this way ac-
quired an elevated type of face and figure, and
that in small circle of city-connections one
may sometimes find noodles of both sexes

hard to match from all It's townships put to-

think, much more patent than justnow
The weak point in our chryso- aristocraoy is
the same alluded to in connection with cheap
dnndyism. Its thorough manhood, its high
case gallantry, are not so manifest as the plate.
glass of its windows and the more or less legiti-
mate heraldry of its coach panels. 1t is very
curious to observe of how small account mill
tary folks are held among our Northern people.
Our young men must gild their spurs, but they
need not win them. The equal division of pro-
perty keeps the younger sons of rich people
above the necessity of military service. Thus
the army loses an element of refinement, and
the moneyed upper class forgets what it is to
count heroism among its virtues. Still don't
believe in any aristocracy without pluck as its
backbone. Ours may show it when the time
comes, If itever does come.
