MARRIAGE OF PRIESTS IN lTALY.-lne
celibacy of the priesthood is fast coming to
Grief where superstition has for ages been the
stroneest. A local tribunal having deciced
against him, priest proposing to marry aP|
plied to the higher court at Naples. The
arguments for the cause Of the priest were
made with great vigor and power by his
counsel, affirming the equality OF all cit
izens before the law, and now that the sePa-
tion of church and state was established, the
priest could only be regarded in his civil re-
iations. :" Let the Catholics" said the At>
torney-general, SNAKE their services as
splendid as they like; they would have full
protection of the law; as should members OF
all religious communions but let them not
interfere with the State Marriage was hon
orable, and of purely civil obligation; but if
to this persons wished to add the Prlestly
benediction, they were at liberty to do so 1t
was an affair of private conscience, Interest,"
ing and much to be recommended. As to the
popular prejudice against the marriage Of
priests, that would die away when the peO-
pie saw them respectable heads Of families"
The speech was received with extraordis
nary enthusiasm by the crowded assembly
All the power of the priests failed to check
the applause. "Hats were lifted, vivas were
shouted, aud q universal clapping of hands
ensued, such as only Lad been seen in the
excited audience of theater." The decis
ion of the court was in favor of the marriage
of the priesthood, and thus another pillar
falls off mighty fabric Of bigotry and super
stitiOu.

TWILIGHT-PEACE,


'Tis twilight the murmurous voices
OF maidens haGsiroll With their lovers
Beneath the dark ilexes' shadows
Come faint TO nay ear.
NJ, cloud in the faint azure heavens
Is foatng-the moon in its fullness
Looks down with mild face of pity
And night holds its breath.
Innumerous under the grasses
The c.ickets are ceaselessly ehlrplns'
Above them the luccioli ghtent
And all is at peace
At peace ay, the peace of the desert
The silence, the deep desolation,
That comes when the blast has swept DER u'
And buried our hopes
A,Deace when the music that thrilled u.s.
M Lord that its harmonies wakened,
Tbe voice that was soul to the singing,
Alike are at rest
At peace ay, the peace of the ocean,
When past is the storm where we iouhuereu'
And eager and breathless the morning
Looks over the waste.

MARKs.-If we could only read each
others hearts, we should be the kinder to
each other. If FIVE keep the woes and bitter
ness and physical annoyance of our neigh
bors, we should make allowances for them
which we do not know. We 90 about mask
ed, uttering steereotyped sentiments, hiding
our heart pangs and our headaches as care.
fully as we can, aud yet we wonder that others
do not discover them by intuition. We
cover our best feelings from the light we
DO not so conceal our resentmeuts and our
dislikes, of which We are prone to be proud.
Often two people SIT close together with i" l
love you 3" in either heart and neither knows
it. Each thinks " l could be fond but
what use of wasting fondness on one who
does not care for it " and so they part, and
60 their ways alone. Life is a masquerade
at which few unmask, even to their very
dearest And though there is need of much
unmasking, would to Heaven we dared to
show plainly our real faces, from birth to
death, for then some few, at least, would truly
love each other. This is old but true.

LABoR.-The Northeastern Farmer opens
a discourse on "The Dignity of Farming" as
follows: One of the greatest misfOrtunes of
the world has been, and now is, either to de.
spise all labor, attempt to live without it, or
to make false and invidious distinctions in
regard to its varied forms. We do not de.
sire to put these two classes-the labor de.
spising and those who make false distinc>
tions in regard to labor-upon the same lev
el yet it cannot be denied that the latter
class, by their false standard Of dignity,
work great mischief, both to themselves and
the community. The labor despisers are
wholly worthless class. They are worse
than simple drOnes. They are the class that
hang around street corners and low whisky
dives, or congregate in brilliant saloons, gor-
geous and attractive to fashionable dissipat-
ion. But whether in broadcloth, or rags, in
linsey woolsey, or satins, in cellars or parlors,
they are pets of society, candidates for the
poOr'house, prisons and gallows.

MISCELLANEOUS.

PICTUREs.-A room with pictures in
it, and Il room without pictures differ by
nearly as much as room with Windows
and room without windows. Nothing.
we think is so melancholy, particularly
to person who has to pass much time
in his room, as blank walls and nothing
on them; for pictures are loopholes Of
escape to the soul, leading it to other
scenes and spheres. What an inexpres-
sible relief it is t. person engaged in
writing or even reading ON looking up
not to have his line of vision chopped
square off by an odious white wall, but
to find his soul escaping as it were.
through the frame of an exquisite pic.
ture, to other beautiful and perhaps
idyllic scenes, where the fancy for a mo-
ment may revel refreshed and delighted,
Is it winter in your world perhaps it is
summer in the picture; what a charm
ing momentary change and contrast
And thus pictures are the CONSIDERS OF
loneliness, they are relief to the jaded
mind; they are windows to the impris-
oned thought; they are books, the y are
histories and sermons, which can be read
without the trouble of turning over the
leaves.
