Hebrew Marriages.

Hebrew weddings So rarely occur
among us, that brief description Of
one which :ook place at the Opera
House, iu Norfolk, Va, lately, may
not be uninteresting to the ladies.
The parties we're MIR. S. S. Seldner,
merchant, and Miss Henrietta Ums-
tadter, daughter of the officiating
Rabbi.
Though the street in front Of the
house where the ceremony was
to take place was densely packed
by the curious, the doors were not
thrown open until half past twelve
the time set for the nuptiai rites.
The number that assembled there
is estimated at about 1000.
The Rabbi first offered up prayer
to the God of Ablahsm, Isaac, and
jacob, then .ead lecture-not such
one as the bridegroom may expect
TO hear from the lips Of his pretty
JeWess, when he smokes cigars 10
the parlor, and spirits tobacco juice on
the fender-but lecture paying a
tribute to his religion, the Mosaic laws,
spiced with little advice to his son
in.law, the groom, and bis daughter,
the wife.
All the Hebrews present kept
their heads covered during the cere'
meny, not expecting the rabbi, who
wore a very handsome scarf over bis
shoulders: then the groom and bride
we're covered with a canopy and the
ceremony continued in the Hebrew
tongue.
The rabbi, the bridegroom and
the bride then drank wine together,
after which the ring was shown to
witnesses by the bridegroom, and
then put on the brides finger, he
repeating at the same time: BE
hold, thou art welded to me with
this ring, according to the laws OF
Moses and Israel" After this the
marriage contract was read, the rabbi
pronouncipg sundry blessings, meet
ing occasionally With responses from
the friends.
The ceremony was said to be novel,
and deeply interesting 10 those unac-
ouainted with the Jewish custom.
1t is customary to break the glasses
or gobIets after having drank wlne'
as mentioned above, though we DO
not hear that it was done in the
present instance. :.
AT the close of the ceremony, the
father kissed his daughter and also
the bridegroom, which last act caused
much merriment among the curious
spectators, they considering it waste
of material, when there we're SO many
ladies present who had not beer
kissed.

A KerlnekE ReeuisiliOn Refused.


The Louisville Courier, Of the 9Th
inst, has an article rejecting rather
severely upon Gov. Dennison for re-
fusing to grant requisi.ion for the
rendition of man charged with
assisting slaves to escape. The facts
of the case, as stated by the Courier,
were as follows:
On the 10Th Of February last,
Gov. Magoffin issued requisition
upon Gov. Dennison,for the rendition
Of Willis LagO, fugitive from JUS
iice, charged by indictment of the
Woodford Circuit Court with the
crime of assisting slave to escape.
No reply. it seems, was received un-
ill May 3lss, period of more than
three months, when the warrant ct
arrest was refused. The refusal is
based upon. the same ground for
which the requisiiion FOR Kennedy
was denied; :hst while it was crime
by the laws Of Kentucky TO assist a
slave 10 escape, it is not an offence
known to The laws of Ohio, or to
the common law; and the question
..whether, under the Federal Con-
stitution, one State is under oblIga-
tion to surrender It's citizens or res
iden.s 10 another State nthe charge
that they have committed an offense
not known to the laws Of the former
nor affecting the public safety, mol
regarded as malum in Sc by the gen
eral Judgment and conscience of ma
tions," is decided by the authorities
of Ohio in the negative.
The Courier closes lis comments
in the following manner:
How long are these things to last
Ave. and how long can they last
How long shall the Constitution b
made a plaything Of dsmagogues AM
traitors? How long viii the peopl
Of the South submit to be deprive'
of ,heir rights and privileges by tn
m;n;ons Of a sectional and oppressiv
anaticism? We warn the people {
The North, that forbearance will nc
long be deemed virtue. s

displayed bis ssgacity, has been
matched in Rutland, Vt, where
a woman charged another with steal
ing her child from the cradle. She
brought suit for the baby, and the
magistrate. after hearing good
deal of conflicting testimony, decided
in favor Of the woman who cried the
most. That was, substantially, The
Judgment Of Solomon in tho other

Gsllple of Gbe Muses,

THE BETTER THOUGHT
The Better Thought how oft IN days
When youthful passion fred my breast,
And drove me into devious ways,
Didst thou my wandering steps arrest-
And W hisper gently in my ear
hine angel message, fraught with love,
Check for the time my mad career.
And melt the heart naught else could move
Thine was no stern and harsh rebuke;
No friends advice" SO true, 80 cold;
No message wise such as in book,
Or by the teacher, oft is told
Which, like the pointless arrow, falls.
And rings perhaps with hollow sound,
But pe'er the wanderer recalls,
But ne'er inflicts the healing wound.
The voice was gentle. winning, mild;
Thy words told thou vert from above,
Like those with which the wayward child
Is wooed by fond mothers love;
Or, like strain of music, stealing
Across the calm and moonlit seas.
Which moves the heart Of sternest feeling
And wakes its deepest harmonies.
Sweet was thy presence. wecome guest;
And I, responsive to thy call,
Arose and felt within my breast
A power that made the fetters fall
From off my long enthralled so oul,
And wove, as with magic spell,
Griefs which yet owned the soft control
or hopes that all might still be well.
But sh! thou vert an injured guest!
How soon departed, soon forgot.
Were all the hopes of coming rest,
That clustered round the Better Thought
The tender griefs, the firm resolves,
The yearnings after better days
Like trans lent sunlight. which dissolves
And leaves no traces of its rays!
Yet despair not: through the night
That long had regned with tyrant sway,
Fen now see the opening light,
The harbihger of comiLg day.
To Heaven l now direct my prayer
Oh! God OF Love, fosake me not;
Grant that my wayw wardness may ne'er
Quench the returning Better Thought!
