ARE TREY MATTERS FOR RID
ICULE1

1t has always seemed to us that if there
were any merely human institutions to
which peculiar solemnty attached, they
were those through which we selected the
men who were to make and execute our
laws and the courts in which we could see
that such laws were enforced and ODE
dience compelled thereto, We can see
nothing more to ridicule about our cleo
tions-whether they be annual or biennial
and our courts than we can about the di-
vine institution of the church-we speak
of the church as embracing all denomina-
lions of Christians. 1t is true, probably,
that so long as human nature remains.
with its diverse characteristics, the casting
of the ballot and the administration of ius-
tice will be attended with many ludicrous
incidents, provocative of mirth, but the
institutions themselves are suggestive of
anything but mirth or ridicule. Nearly
every civilized and savage nation on the
face of the earth have their courts where
so-caled justice is administered with ap.

approach to levity. The first step taken
by our Briton fathers looking toward civil
liberty was to provide for tribunals where
an accused person could be tried by jury
of his peers. Even the American savage,
before putting his captive to death by tor
ture, decides upon the manner in which
death shall take place by a council
attended with all the socmnity of
a judicial proceeding. AS we have said
nearly every nation, whether civilized or
savage, has its courts, and to them attach a
peculiar reverence and solemnty; but we
are favored above all other nations 10 that
we have the choice of our rulers, our egis-
lators, and of our courts-that is, of the
individuals composing our courts. If we
could only select our executive officers and
the makers of our laws, it would be great
advance over the privileges and institutions
of other people, and there would be a
solemnity attached to the exercise of the
privilege which ought to be felt by every

rally pelted them with ''roses and lilies
and daifydowndilies, as a token of their
affectionate regard, the bride being an
especial favorite with all classes. Alter
