Errors i'm Speech.

"A pleasant letter writer, comparing
IT, merits of the pen and the tongue as
i v-7rFeters ofthe mind, gives the palm
- d former as the more faithful of
e two, arguing that the tongue, being
seated in a slippery place, is apt to fail
in her sudden eXtempOral expressions,
while the pen, having greater advan-
tage of premeditation, is not SO liable
to err. The pen is no immaculate SER
want; it does now and then betray its
master and AIT as if it were an jnde-
pendent creature, but it is certainly
more obedient than the tongue.
The other resembles timid racer Ca
pable of doing wonders at home, but
when called upon to exercise its powers
in public, either bringing its owner to
gFie! by boiling out of the course, or
stubbornly refusing to bulge from the
post. The gentleman who rehearsed
his speech in a cabbage garden found
his tongue run glibly enough there,
but before living audience all he could
say, was, Gentlemen, see you are
not cabbages.' Christopher North de-
elared that no one hearing him in pub
lie could have the slightest conception
what magnificent speaker he found
himself when quite alone; and no doubt
the House OF Commons lost a fine ora
ton, when the tongue of member,
primed with wine, refused to say
more than Sir, am astOnished!'

Marriage Services.

1t is little singular to reflect upon,
that there should not be in existence a
fully appropriate marriage service for
the use of either the Church or the
world. The Episcopal Church service,
one most hallOwed by churchly associa-
tions and most full of excellencies, has
yet egregiOus faults. Bad taste, bad
grammar, and perjury have their
places, but marriage service would
not seem to the place for them. 81 take
thee to my welded wife Tor husband)
to have and to hold" is an awkward
ness for which only long inculcated
reverence could feel so much rhetorical
respect as not to mar a matrimonial
ecstacy. "Till death us do part" is a
dislocation in which the most devout
church-woman must feel a pang. The
inquiry, "Who giveth this woman to
be married to this man ?" is, to say the
least o. it, an anachroniSm.
81 pronounce you man and wife,"
pathos, as of couple henceforth to say,
woman is getting dinner" "With all
my worldly goods | thee endOw," is
fiction so stupendous as to be more
amusing than impressive. "Do you
promise to obey him and serve him ?"
The woman shall say, ~ will" Here
in we have the spe ctacle of a priest at
the altar offering the most solemn and
binding of vows to a woman who has
not the least intention of keeping it;
who will not keep it, if she has; and
who ought not keep it, whether she has
or not. The church service was writ

save it intact to the future. The mar
riage to be will demand a pledge for
which this is neither speech nor lam
guage. i Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.

the United States, under the principles
above stated, inasmuch as the pledges
would have it in his power to put of
the bills and thus there would be pos
sibility of fraud on the Government,
which was all that was necessary to
raise the legal presumption common to
such cases of intent to defraud.
Fourth-That under the second count
for having in possession, &C., all these
several transactions including the tram

quired into by the jury and if they
found that the defendants had such
counterfeit money in their possession
with intent to use it in schemes of this
nature, then they might be found guilty
under this count.

School Celebration.

Mr.. EDITOR: I had the pleasure of attend
ing the closing exercises of the colored school
taught by Mr.. W. T. G. White, near Pisgah
Church, Anderson County, on the 25th Sep
tember The exercises commenced by torcl-
bic andimpressive rehearsal of the Lords Prayer
by the entire school. The examination Of va
rious classes in spelling, reading, writing, eng
hsh grammar, history, arithmetic, etc., were
highly creditabe to the teacher and to the
scholars. The questions and answers denoted
fairness in the examination, and proficiency
on the part of the scholars. I was specially
pleased with the reading lessons performed in
Stephens History of the United States. The
closing exercises in defamation, on the part
of the students, we're appropriate and interest
ing. Some of the speeches must have been
original, and exhibited genius and Apostle
ness. Mai. Russell addressed the school at the
last in an address which was we'll received.
Vocal music was interspersed with the pro-
ceedings, giving variety and interest to the oc-
casion. In this department., especially, our
colored friends seem to be adopts. There was
also band of music in attendance enlivening
the occasion with many creditable performan-
ces. After all the speaking was over, all par
took of bounteous dinner-the table being
spread for the white gentlemen present, COW
cred with an excellent variety of dishes.
Permit me, in conclusion, to add my person
al testimony to the moral worth of Mr.. White.
he has been living in the neighborhood for
several years, teaching school during the most
of the time, and can truthfully say that his
excellent department and bearing during all
that time has been such that he has won the
confidence and regard of the whole communi-
ty. Our colored friends would do we'll to re-
tain him as their teacher.
