A. to cur own school, strange to tell, it
goes q begging, VIII some OF the thou
sana-aud.ouc capable teachers who are
out Of employment apply for this .itua-
ton. What is the matter: The time has
been when the step, OF our fro,hly-ap-
pointed committee man were waylaid be-
fore he had time to reach home and In
form his spouse of his new honor; or if
be did get home unmoIostcd, owing TO the
,bclterng darkness, be would be sum
moncd before daybrcak in the morning
to listen TO the appeals of interested if
not interesting fathers or brothers, mclos
or cousins, who could inform the gaping
aud untonsured gentleman just where he
could find the right sort of "A teacher.
Is il possible the girls are finding out
that they can earn q living and be rcspoe-
table in other and less laborious ways?
1t looks little like it when we learn that
the only young lady in this town who OBJ
tanned a state certificate now supports
herself by doing ofiice-writng for an at
torney, and that one Of our oldest and
best esteemed teachers answers the call
of factory bell.
We had the rare, nay the unprecedent-
ed, event last week Of church wedding.
Mr.. Parker and Miss Batchelder, whose
marriage was noticed in last week.
JOURNAL, were made one in the presence
Of an assembled congregation, ! think
every right-minded person must approve
of whatever can lend impressiyeness and
sanctity to the marriage rite. In these
days of hasty divorces, and Of strong
minded women, intoxicating the doctrine
that marriage is only civil contract,
hail to everything which gives it the sac
redness of religious ordinance! Let MS
be married in church by all means, and
"whom God hath joined together let no
man put asuuder."
Every lady whose eye rests on these
lines will Of course long to know how the
bride was dressed. Dear to the feminine
heart is bridal attire So let me hasten
to say that she was becomingly and beau
tifully dressed in a suit Of mauye colored
silk, and that she looked like snow
maiden so exquisitely fair was she. Our
warmest good wishes 80 with the happy
pair; but, alas, like the alternately sunny
and showery April wedding day, is this
checkered life Of ours. Not only the dear
old Grandmother" in Tennyson's poem,
but all grandmothers in all times and
places will b car witness that
"shadow and shine is life, little Anne,
Flower and thorn!'
In behalf ofthe female sect, feel it in
cumbent upon me to warn your unfledg-
c 4 correspondent w. w. +. Jr.,' to keep
his Juvenile pen Off from the young lady
subject. The youthlet seems rational en-
ough on other topics, though his use Of
his mother tongue is, to say the least, ex,
traordinary.
