to mortal man by an immortal Christ, and
sndeavor not to forget all that this thought
implies. Blessed is the man who In the full
knowledge Of the true import of the day, re-
jbtces himself, and tries to make others re-
joice with him.. Blessed is the man who on
this day shall do what he can to make the
loved ones around his hearth happy; but
thrice blessed is that man who, not forget

loved ones-the poor. If you can make one
heart happy for that day that otherwise

apparel or gaudy show OF any kind, snd it
will be = treasure laid up in heaven, where
moth and rust doth not corrupt, and where
1t will draw compound interest forever.

"Once on a time" about twenty days ago
more or less, a clergyman of this city Was
notified that his services were wanted to
complete the happiness of a couple of young
lovers, who lived not more than fifty miles
from Napoleon. In the best of humor, he
hurried of through the snow and cold, for
getful of his own comfort. that he might
make others happy. Arriving at the resi-
dence OF the brides parents, he found the
company assembled, and all were eagerly
expecting the bridegroom. As the weather
was very bad, many excuses for his delay
were made, and finally it was supposed that
he had concluded to postpone the marriage
till evening. The company eat the dinner
which had been prepared for the festive
OCCASION, and enjoyed themselves as best
they could, determined to wait till the
arrival of the diIatory groom. Evening
came and went, and ''sabIe night flung her
mantle DER the earth, and pinned it with a
STAR" but still he came not. The bride now
began to give way to doubts and suspicious:
the company made many surmises as to his
absence, and, finally, when they could endure
the suspense no longer. they went their
ways home. This action proved sensible, as
the groom has not yet been heard from, and
were he now to put in an appearance in that
neighborhood 1t is doubtful whether he
would get out of 1t alive. We understand
this Is the third lady he has trified with, and
he may yet reap the fruit of his folly. The
young lady Is respectfully connected nd the
rscreant groom deserves severe handling.
