All praise to the Methodist Church
The Episcopal service is more at logger
heads with time than any other now ex
tant IN civilized nations. 1t not only still
clings to the word "obey," but 1T has a
most humiliating act in giving the bride
away. We were never more struck with
its odious and ludicrous features than on
once seeing tall, queenly-ooking WON
an, magnificently arrsved married by
one of the FINEST priests that ever DOM

smallest guardian that ever watched a
woman's fortunes, to the feeblest, bluest-
looking little groom that ever placed a
wedding ring on bridal finger Seeing
these Lilliputs round her we thought
when the little priest said, "Who gives
this woman to this man?" that she would
take the responsibiliry,and say, do; but
no, there she stood, calm, cool. like an
automaton, as if it were no affair Of hers,
while the little guardian, placing her
hand in that of the little groom, said, !" l

died about by three puny men, all of
whom she might have gathered up in her
arms and borne off to their respective

promised he would be-" Where the last
line of bayonets was leveled !" that clown
of the war, Bombastes Furioso Wise, did
not do, as he once declared he would do,
in his colicky style of oratory (having a
habit of delivery as if his eloguence had
cut him across the bowels)- Idle in the
arms of glory upon the battlefield; the

than as classical romances. Into such a

and sunk all the theatrical glories of the
great Southern Confederacv. From a
descent so base and ludricrous, it remains
for the historian of the South, at unce
faithful and affectionate, to rescue. the
faith of bis country, to show that great
cause was lost, not, indeed, through the
weakness or dement's of the people of tie
South, but that it was ruined by the in
of leaders, who, in proper

followers, and burlesqued by the follies

There was an unexpected vacancy in the
Norwalk lecture course, last winter, and
Mr. Remnants friends said, You must fill
the vacancy. It was TO him new idea,

Insec t Life in Winter.

The last Putnam" tells something in
teresting about insect life perhaps moi
known to many of our readers. M DE-
Saussure, for instance, informs US that he
found butterfly soaring over the glac
iers, where the lammergeyer and channels
have their haunts 1t is scarcely credible
that thing so frail,a creature of warmth
sunshine, and flowers, could live for an
hour. amid those Alpine nights. where
man can scarcely exist. One would think
this beautiful insect, "born in bower"
would fold its brilliant wings and die.
Arctic voyagers tell us Of butterflies in
extreme northern attitudes; these Of
course belonged there, and were literally
children of the ice land. All this goes
to prove the tenacity of insect life, and
powers Of endurance when exposed to
cold. The writer goes on to say: eff
daily experience did not prove TO us the
contrary, we should naturally suppose
that of the myriads Of insects swarming
in our fields and gardens. during our
warm American summers, none could sur
vive the cold winters of the same lati
tudes that all must inevitably perish
beneath deluge of snow; that none
could endure the severity of frosts which
penetrate many inches below the sol

Tunnels VS.. Bridges.

The East London Underground Rail
way IS now running its trains regularly
under the Thames river through the
celebrated Thames Tunnel. This gigan-
tic work was constructed at an expense
of 100000, greenbacks; and although
originally designed for an ordinary car
rage way, such is its massive character
that it was found strong enough to sup
port the heaviest locomotives. The
length of this tunnel is ZOO feet; the
hight of exterior walls, 3S feet width,
221@ feet Two tracks are laid, and the
running of the trains gives great public
8 ltisfaction. a as
In the face of such successful example
of subaqueous railway, which is an i'm
provement of the most unquestionable
character, always solid and secure, we
behold the public spirited men OF New
York and Brooklyn, at this moment
engaged in trying to establish communi-
cation between these great cities by
means of single span suspension bridge,
which. to say nothing Of the immense
cost and years of labor involved, will
never be free from danger of falling, and
can never satisfy the public wants. Every
storm that blows win try its foundations
every change of temperature will weaken
its wires. a. B
The tunneling Of the East River is
lust as practicable as the Thames. A
strong and capacious tunnel can be built
between New York and Brooklyn fol-
less money, and in less time, than the
suspension bridge land when the tunnel

quake can impair its safety. 8

you to get an amendment to your charter

the river. Your bridge, il ever built
will be a monument Of your stupidity in
adopting the poorest method of com
