NEGRO CHURCH MELODIES.

Several English ncblemen. who have re gently visited the United States. declare ihai the Southern negroes possess more original iIy and have more quaint expressions of sur prise, and more serious in,ensson when en- gagged in divine worship. but attain a more humorous result than any other people in the Eorld- There Is much truth in these obser- Sat.ons. truth which an insigh, less keen than he penetration of nobility can discover. The following hymn IS sung al negro church n Arkansaw: Ole man Jonah tried ter run from de sperit. An what God said. he didn wSater hear II. But de ole runaway muster looked mighty

Fehte and Hegel are made 10 stand up in re- view like SO many schoolhoys: and each gets his certificate according to his merit Heine contrasts French material. ism with German idealism in such in- cssive style as this: " l, seemed as though the spirit had sought revenge on the Ger man side of the Rhine kcr the ind,gui,ies hcaped apaa !; oa the French side. When the very existence of spirit was de- nied in France. i, emigrased over to Ger. many. and there. in turn. denied the ex- ,s,enee ot matter" He Is especially hard upon Aegcl and Schell,ng, both oi whom became " State philosophers" the ono ,n Protestant Berlin. the other in Catholic Munich. Our ea'liet philosophers" he says. lived lives of poverty and rcnuncia. ton. haddlsng ,n wtctehed au,es. and there labot,onsly working out the,r SIS. ,ems; but the philosophers of to-day wear the hrillian, lisetics of power. and they have invented philosophical lus,,ti cations of the interests ai the particular States in which they happen to have found positions" nclne himself was nol to be bought otf in any such way. He criticised the French government just as wst,liy while liv,ng upon it's pension as before he received Il. still Il is not easy ,o draw the line between his VII and h,s sincerity. In his las, years. without ap- paren,ly resigning his ultra irec-,hought views, he yet daily crloyed reading atthe Bible. This IS interpreted by some as d reconycfsion to thcism and even to Ihr,f- uaniiy. The greater likelihood seems that he enjoyed ,h,s contact with the strong and simple Hebrew m,nd as d poet always enioys vlgos and sincerity. Hcine was a Jew. and the blood al h,s fathers must have urged him strongly into sympathetic interpretation of these ancestors of h,s race. In himself and his hnely vibrating intellect and intense tenn pcramcnt he has left us an ever-compell. ing problem bu, the ligh, that he has thrown upon his contemporaries is treble compensation. Who, Tor instance. has ever said anything hall so expressive of Goethe as this "When Nature wished to sec how she looked, she made Goethe for mirror"

They sefe marred lazi week, a' the residence of inc gToom's parents, near South Coving,on. n the presence Of few Of their most intimate friends. The bride Is an orphan. and n order io ob.ain a h. eense to wed. the groom father qualified as her guardian. and then consented ;o the issuing of the license, and gave his assent to the gnarrage. The combined ages of she twain IS only a few years more than the lawful matrimonial age In the grand old commonwealth. The bride Is no; volup,uoas-looking girl, and, in fact. resembled a child tha' had no: passed the spanking age, and the groom was moi much her superior m this re- spect. The bride was modestiy and neatly attired. and resembled little girl that was dressing for her first attendance a, a chiltren's parry. The twain were evidently quite fond of each other. There was none of that style of loye that is gen orally displayed 3; wedding, and when the minister pronounced them man and wife, they faced each other for a mo- meni. and suddenly the childish groom bashfully embraced his dim.nutise bride IL was rather strange sight. and looked more like a chiIdren's mock marriage than solemn reality. The couple are not wealthy, and the.r parents are only n moderate circumstances.
