After he had pronounced the decree
and the young chap was sure that the girl
was really his wife, he gave her labial
salute which she returned with evident
satisfaction, whereupon the Judge said it
made him think of the time when he was
married and that he felt like recurring to
his early practice,-in fact that he would
kiss the bride himself, and accordingly
did that same with an appearance of

that no demonstration was made here.
Certainly our brave boys arc not forgotten.
but it is equally certain that they are not
remembered as they deserve for the splen-
did service which they performed for their
country. Yet it matters not to them. The
measure Of their sacrifice was full, and
we by neglect can detract nothing from
the glory to which they urc entitled. We
may do ourselves injustice but We canno,
