THE WEDDING RING.
" THINK WELL Or IT

Reasons for the Use of the UeG3iR7
Ring iH the Marriage Ceremony.
1. As turning a ring for ever no end
can be found, 50 the friendship e~mcnted
by marriage should be endless or 5erpet
uaE not even broken of finally by the
interruption of death, but the marriage
party separating merely during the night
of the grave, in sure and certain hope of
meeting again on the following morning
Of glorious resurrection when all that
was pure and lovely in the union, shall
be more so still, with the high additional
perfection Of continuing uninterrupted
throughout the endless round of a blessed
Immortality.
2. As the marriage ring should BE-
made of pure gold, which is the most pure
or simple of all metals, SO the marriage
union, cemented by that impressive
pledge given and received, should be pure
in its origin. pure in its continuance, and
so pure in all It's motives as to contra
distinguish the contracting parties from
all intimacies founded upon gross or car
nal principles. as nearly as possible re
sembliDg the love of Christ for his spouse
the Church, who so loved the Church
that he gave himself for It,
3. As gold of which the marriage ring
should te made. is esteemed the most
caluole of all metals. so the love and
friendship implied in the marriage ring
should ever be considered is infinitely
more galuaJle than any another system Of
human nature is capable
4. As gold is the most compact or at
least porous Of all metals, so the marriage
love and friendship should be so closely
cemented by the blending into each other
of all the kind aud good affections of the
parties, as 10 leave no possible aperture
of the opening for the Introduction of any
strange or for hidden affection. Eael
party should always be prepared to say
/ of the other,
=. Thy loneliness my heart hath proposes
And left no room for any other guest
B. As gold. by the action Of the mos
intense heat. even in a crucible, canno

,ru,T Is HOME WITHOUT A
MOTHER

What = Home without a mother,
What arc all the joys we meet,
When her loving smiles 20 longer
Greet the coming Of our feet!
The dav seems long, the nights are drear,
And times rolls slowly on!
And oh! how few are childhoed's pleasures,
When her gentle care is gone!
The things We prize are first to vanish
Hearts we love to pass away,
And how soon, e'en in our childhood,
We behold her turning gray;
Her eye grows dim, her step is slow,
Her joys of earth are passed;
Aud sometimes e'er we learn to know her
She has breathed on earth her last.
Older hearts may have their sorrows,
Griefs that quickly die away;
Br. mother lost in childhood
Gr.evys the heart from day to day,
We miss her kind and willing hand,
Her fond and earnest care,
And Oh how dark is life around us
What IS HOME without her there.

Great News from Minnesota.
rom the Fort Garry Nor, Wester.

From the Fort Garry Nor Wester.
We call attention to the following re-
markable document, for copy of which we
have to thank Mr.. j. G. Burbank, of St.
Paul. 1t merits careful attention. It is
not mere newspaper article, or the c0mpo.
sition of any one individual; but the grave
deliveranoe of Legislature. The Mime
sofa Legislature, it will be seen, memorial
Use the Congress of the United States for
something almost equivalent to the annexa-
tion of this country to the great Republic.
1t is not stated in so many words; but the
whole drift and scope of this remarkable
memorial looks as if the Minnesota politi-
clans were cherishing wish and hope which
they prefer to hint rather than pointedly and
openly avow.
The Legislature has q high opinion of US
and of the country, seems anxious that we
should return their high esteem. Mark the
following passages: "Central British Amer.
lea is capable of sustaining as dense pop
ulation as Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. The climate and soil invite similar
agriculture. Selkirk Settlement, with
population of 10000 sou 81 &c.
Again:
The Bill in the British Parliament for Great
ing it Crown Colony has not been pa sed
during the PalmerstOn Administration, greatly
to the dissatisfaction of the Red River people.
And again:
Our revenue and postal system has removed
their prejudices to commercial and even Pc.
litcal association with the United States.
Then this striking passage:
If England does not Immediately politically
organize the Red River aud Saskatchewan
country. its Americanization cannot long be
postponed.
Yet again:
The people of Minnesota though satisfied
with their present frontier, are desiring no
more than international treaties assign them,
still. they claim to be central to vast division
of physical geOgraphy-which means, We pre-
sumo, that they claim good slice of this
country.
Once more quote:
We purposely omit many considerations
which late events would suggest, upon which
it may be expedient to enlarge.
And,-
The intelligent community of Selkirk esti.
mate very highly the postal benefits conferred
by the Government IT Washington. If the
mails were made weekly. the favorable i'm
preston would be propOrtiOnate. Congress
can readily anticipate the bearing of these
facts, &c.
Now what does all this look like /? Is it
not the language of men anxious to get this
country? They pat US OF the shoulders,
f1atter our pride, excite our self interest,
and praise our country. The Governors
message, to which alIusion is made in the
Memorial, we had already seen. We COM
mend the memorial to the careful perusal of
the Red River people, simply adding, that
this move of tie Minnesota Legislature
will be hailed with satisfaction by large
portion of the Selkirkites, as it will benefit
the country by directing attention to it.

The Women of Nashville and the Fed.
eral Soldiers

A Nashville correspondent of the Cincin
natl Times gives the following account Of
how General Nelson intended to treat se>
cession woman, who, in her enthusiasm for
the rebel chief, overstepped the bounds OF
propriety. The correspondent says:
For some unaccountable reason the women
of this section do not favor the Northern
soldiers. In their march towards Nashville
they were frequently greeted by some female
dweller by the roadside with " There goes
the Yankees ;" L" Well soon see another
Bulls Rum" and other expressions not
very complimentary to Northern ears. On
one occasion, as General Nelson was riding
at the head of his command, one of these
female secessionists thrust her head from q
window and screamed Hurrah for JEFF
Davis hurrah for JEFF. Davis p
This was too much for the temper of the
General, and riding close to the fence, he
shouted, " Madame if you repeat that again,
I'll be cursed if I don't quarter a man in
your house who lie covered all over with the
small pox." This had the desired effect, and
the adulator of JEFF Davis retired into oh.
security until the soldiers were out of sight.
But few women of respectable character
are to be seen in the streets of Nashville as
yet. With the advent of the rebel forces
the Weather of the Union families left, and
on the approach of the Federal forces the
indicators of Southern rights" took unto
themselves wings and fed also. The Un.
ionists, however, are beginning to return,
and in some instances they do so to find that
their premises have been overrun and their
houses despoiled.

Massn husetts Insurance Report.

Attention has been called to the some-
what anomalous literary style of Mr.. Eli
EUR Wright's report to the Massachusetts
Legislature upon insurance matters in that
State. The reference to John Brown, in
connection with the mortgage held by the
State Insurance Company of New Haven,
upon $4,000 acres of the John Brown tract
in New York, has it seems led to discussion
10 the State House. The Boston Post has
the following:
In the debate upon the proposition to
expunge Elizur Wright's eulogy upon John
Brown, contained in bis report as Insurance
Commissioner, Senator Griswold explained
as his position that he did not think it be-
coming in the Senate to undertake to
change the reports of public officer which
be alone must be responsible for. As to
the question whether the soul of John
Brown was marching on" it was one of
theology simply, which the Senate could
not settle, for they could not tell whether it
was marching on or marching backward"

Health in Minnesota,
From the Glencoe Register.

From the Glencoe Register.
Much has been written and said by tie
press OF this State, 10 relation to the health
tulness of this climate. Those of US who
reside here require 10 proof OF this fact.
The people en- naasse are living witnesses of
it.. And as it becomes known throughout
the Union, numerous invalids have sought
this climate for remedy for their disease.
During the past winter we have been
TIN own in contact with some of those inva.
lids from different parts of New York,
New England and other States. And in
almost every instance the climate has had a
tendency to relieve them from their sick
ness, 1t is especially so with those who
were troubled with consumptive or pulmo-
nary disorders. If it was only shown the
relief those find in our climate who are
troubled with such complaints, we are quite
sure that the doctors throughout the Unit
ed States would at once recommend their
patients visit to our State. 1t would be
worth more to them than all the medicine
in Christendom.

and the carriage burned, but the imm ense
thickness at the breech prevented its being
heated through sufficiently to cause an ex-
plosion. 1t is probably one of the guns
brought by the Bermuda some time since.
Among the other guns uniDjured is a 9.
inch Dahlgren gun, which was cast in 1856,
and is supposed to be one of those stolen by
the rebels at Norfolk.
All the guns, with the exception of the
English gun mentioned, are no doubt
those stolen from the United States at va.
ri0us points. The extreme northern gun
at Shipping Point is bursted, and an in.
scriptiOn on the face of the breastwork
states that "this gun burst on the 18th of
February, 1862" There was a rumor in
our camp at that time that it had burst,
killing two men and wounding one, which
this date seems to confirm.
Three scouting parties were sent out from
Shipping Point in different directions. The
first proceeded up Quantico Creek, discov,
ering the lately deserted camps of the ene-
my. They proceeded to within a mile OF
Dumfries, capturing young man belong.

called "The Yankee Killers" He appeared
quite willing to be taken.
A second company was sent up the South
bank of Quantico Greek, and discovered nu-
merous evidence of a large force of the enemy
having lately occupied the place. A suffers
store, with stock of some three thousand
dollars worth of goods, consisting of boots
and shoes, tobacco and cigars, meats, vege-
tables, fruits, &C., was found. 1t had been
so hastily deserted that some two or three
dollars in Change had been left in the money
drawer. They also found silk flag, beau
tifully embroidered, and inscribed "Ran.

had been thrown into the creek, bearing on
one side the Arkansas SEAL and on the re g.,

Numerous other trophies OF almost every
description were found
The third party proceeded in southwes-
terly direction, with similar success. The
latter two brought in several stragglers,
some of whOme were known Union men, and

last as the cars would carry them tor some
days past, and that the last left on Sunday.
