THE MODERN CEREMONY

'wilt thou take this brown-stone front,
These carriages this diamond,
To be husband of thy choice,
Fast locked in bonds Of Hymen?
And wilt thou leave thy home and friends
To be his loving wife,
And help to spend his large income,
So long as thou hast life "
II will," the modest maid replies,
The love-ight beaming from her eyes.
And wilt thou take this waterfall,
This ostentatiOus pride, -. .-.
With all these unpaid milliners' bills,
To be thy chosen BRIDE
And wilt thou love and cherish her
Whilst thou hast life and health; ~.
But die Is soon as possible
And leave her all thy wealth"
Il WILL" the fearless mate replies;
And eager waits the nuptial ties.
Then pronounce you man and wife;
And which I've joined forever,
The next best man may disunite,
And the first divorce court sever"

A gentleman in Waltham, Massachusetts,
has daughter who is kleptomaniac. She
kept him in hot water continually, and he
of stealing, and subjected to strict train
ing. calculated to drive her unfortunate pro-
pensity out of her. His fellow-citizens are
much fncensed because he refuses to disclose
her whereabouts, and have petitioned the
selectnen to ''investigate the matter" They
fear he has placed her in a convent or among
the Shakers. Either refuge would, we
think, be better than State prison. the lat

footsteps of the missing young lady were
rapidly tending.

A Washington special says !: ''rhe friends
of Mrs. Lincoln here say it is doubtful!
whether she will accept the pension voted
her by Congress, on account OF the manner
in which it was granted. 1t was thought
that if she would write letter refusing it.,
and appeal to the country, she would meet
with a generous response. Colonel Ward
H. LamOn, who was marshal of the District
of Columbia under President Lincoln, au-
thorizes the statement that he will be one
of three to guarantee Mrs. Lincoln $4,000 as
long as she lives if she will decline the pen

After deducting the aforesaid credit our
balance in bank will still be large, but we
must mot forget that until January, when
collections for licenses will be made, our
receipts will be comparatively small, and
large proportion Of them will be in Metropo-
Titan police warrants, while our payments
will continue on the same, or even larger
scale than heretofore. ae
Economy should still be our watchword'

expenses, and leave surplus to be appro-

TRAITOR of Finance. -s.. ..t
Mr. Shaw introduced petition from resi-
dents of the Second and Third Districts. on
the question of the removal Of steamboat
landings, and moved that it be published
with all the signatures, and referred to the
Departments of Improvements and Com
merce.
Mr. Emley said it seemed to him there
was petition on the other side of the dues-
ton, which had preceded this, and which
ought also to be printed if this was.
MIR. West rose to say publicly that there
was the most extraordinary misapprehen
sion existing On the subject of steamboat
landings. He had even been asked by
gentleman Of Intelligence, if it was the in
tention OF the Council to remove the steam
boats from the foot of Canal street and put
shlps there! There was no proposition to
change the channel of the commerce con-
ing to this port. There was proposition
to extend the facilities for business and
to enlarge the area of the commerce of the
city. The desire of the Council was simply
TO adapt the levees of the city to the best
uses of commerce In accordance with the
interests of the whole community The
present Council had, in no instance. taken
snap judgment on the people of New Orleans.
What we ask for was fair criticism, no mis-
representation calculatd to injure us IN
the eyes of the city.
Mr.. Finley objected to the expense Of
printing this long petition. He did not
think the parties themselves desired it.
The Chamber of Commerce were going to
hold meeting, and would doubtless pre-
sent another long petition, which ought also
to be printed if this was The whole thing
had grown out of Misrepresentation OF
