THE MOnKTRY OF MARRIAGE.

"None but relations and personal friends of
the Queen viii be allowed to be present. at
the wedding of the Princess Beatrice and the
petty pauper Prince of Battenberg, says re-
cent cable dispatch, 'tand the press will be
vigorously excluded" There can be no more
objection to this transformations proceeding in
the case Of royal wedding than any other,
SO far as we can see. The suppression of pa
rade and ceremony is commendable, and if
the admission of the press would be likely
as it surely would-to make big display of
the affair in the papers, which is ali that
would be known of it by more than one in
thousand, in any case-the effect would
be the same as wedding Oh
the gaudiest ''gorgosity." A simple
wedding notice, ''paid for in advance" would
cover all the requirements Of the occasion
affecting the press, and be about all that the
press could authoritatively tell Now, if this
quiet, simple affair shall have the effect to
set fashion, and make the aristocratic we'd
dings in England follow it, and the ''society'
weddings here follow them, as they would be
very likely to do, the benefit in strengthening
purer feelings and higher tastes would be con-
siderable. The union of two lives, and hopes,
and fortunes, instead of appearing in the
simplicity that alone displays the true char
acter of the occasion, is now very generally
made show. 1t is hardly an exaggeration
to say, in the slang of the street, that it is
''circus." The bride is got up regardless of
expense to be looked at not to symbolic
feeling or the purpose Of the ceremony. Not
infrequently places of good observation are
bought of accommodating sections, and the
wedding not only made show, but "pay"
show-not for the benefit Of the parties, GER
tainly, but the meaningless parade impels the
purchase and sale, and is chargeable with
some of the mercenary spirit Of the affair.
A wedding, no more than funeral, or a bap-
tisn, or birth, should be made a spectacle to
all that care to see it. Ceremony suiting the
character Of the occasion is proper enough,
but that is q very different thing from the dis
plays Of presents, trousseaus, jeweled dresses
and ostentatous posturing and parade. If
the Queens regulations of the coming royal
wedding shall have the effect to change all
this, or even alleviate it little, the public
taste will be the better Of the chastening
and the press will have cause to bless the
good sense, or the stinginess or the natural
distaste Of old age to fummery that hereafter
shall save it many hours of weary drudgery,
much money and countless complaints from the
friends of bellies whose charms or dresses, or
jewels have been incorrectly or iuadequately
depicted. Extre mes meet. ut is bat step
from the sublime to the ridiculous" as Ma
poleon said to the Able De Prado after the
Russian calamity step only from the real
sublimity of simplicity and natural feeling to
the righteousness Of unmeaning display.

step back from the ridiculous to the sub

FEW evenings ago. just after sunset while
the sky was fading down sufficiently to show the
evening planets in the pale yellow light, a heavy
bank Of clouds rose all along the western and
northwestern horizon, as solid as wall There
not break as big as straw through fifty
degrees for fifteen in height. About the time
the electric lights blazed up in the Circle tower
this cloud-wall had risen till it covered all the
lighter portion of the twilight sky, and stood
right under the evening star. The dark blue

Tennyson's sister, who died at Vienna in the

Both are speculative and philosophical; each
embodies the scientific discoveries of the CEN
tury. The modern doctrine of evolution is
the warp and wool Of the "In Memoriam," its
closing lines being:
Gone God, one law, one element,

Tennyson throughout looks for the solu
ton of the vast moral and spiritual problems
which surround him to the future and with

trustful in the present; his note is clear and
decisive as bugle, calling one to the duty,
faith and responsibility of the present.
In his speech he says: "Whatever it may
be safe for us to think who have had great
advantages, and have been brought up in such
way that certain moral direction has been
given to our character, l do not know what
would become of the less favored classes of
mankind if they undertook to play the same
game" And in the poem, holding faster to
what he learned at his mothers knee than to
Plato, or the iconoclasts of the present, he
says:
Let us be thankful when as I do here,
We can read Bethel on pile of stones,
And seeing where God has been, trust i'll Him

courses by each new-risen star, and "still
lip-loyal to what once was truth, smuggle

THERE is a striking contrast between the ex-
preston of royal feeling in George the Seconds
beastly reply to his dying WIFE, and the piety that
speaks pathetcallY in the prayer of Mary, Queen
of Scots. Whatever intrigues political or other
wise, her trying situation may have forced or
led her into, there is little doubt that large
element of purity and piety lay under, and mixed
more or less actively with, her more equiyocal
qualities. AS there may be a good many read
ers Of the Journal who have never seen this
prayer, it may be worth while to introduce it
here, in the original Latin-Afary was a thor
ough Latinist-which almost translates itself,
and singularly enough into the exact meter of
the original:
Oh! Domino Deus, sperav in tie;
Oh! care Jcsu nunc liberia me;
In dura catena, in misera poena,
DeSidero te
Languendo, gemendo eft genuHectendo.
Adore, implorO ut hberes
A literal translation in rhyme Of the same
metre is impossible, but it may be approached
pretty closely:
Oh. Lord God I have hoped in thee;
Oh! my dear Jesus now berate me;
In CALLING chain, in furnishing pain,
long for thee
In languishng, groaning and bending the knee.
adore, | mplore that you iberate me-
There have been many more elegant trarsla-
tons than this, but this is meant to be as nearly
literal as possible, to preserve the metre and
rhyme, and has no other merit
Swinburne has made the following translation.
very pretty, but very far from literal:
"Oh, Lord, my God
have trusted in Thee
On, Jesus, my dearest One
Now set free,
In PRISONS oppression
In sorrows possession,
weary for Thee.
With signing and crying
Bowed down dying.
l adore Thee-I implore Thee
Set me free"
The Boston Transcript does better than this,
SO far as accuracy of rendering is concerned:
"Oh, Heavenly Father nay trust is in Thee
Oh dearest Lord Jesus now liberate me,
captive in chains, racked by misery's pains,
Do languish for Thee.
With sorrowful feeling, I. most humbly kneeling
Adore Thee, implore Thee, to lberate me-"

MINOR MENTION.

AMONG the Sunday thoughts that will occur
to the readers of the Journal are these:
They will rejoice that it was in Boston and
not in Indianapolis that the full-fedged canary
bird was found in the bosom of a boiled potato
and serpent four and quarter feet long in the
center Of a bunch Of bananas. Had these dis
coveries been made elsewhere a good deal Of
faith in humanity would have been lost.
They will contemplate with pity and sorrow
the-deluded Aneke Jars's ''heirs' in their 407th
semi annual meeting for the purpose of raising
funds necessary to fec lawyers to secure for
them that very desirable piece Of property
wrongfully held by the Trinity Church trustees.
The thought naturally occurs that it would be
infinitely more profitable for them to be search
ing for comets at fifty cents head.
1t Will also occur to great many American
readers to day that whatever the good that may
result in London from the Pail Mall Gazette's
expose Of popular crimes, little OF no good can
come from its reproduction, in detail, on this
side of the Atlantic. Published there it may
awake a feeling of shame and indignation that
would result in more vigorous measures of re-
preston. Here it can do nothing more than
crafty an unhealthy curiosity
1t is a pleasing thought that, after all the pro
longed complaint of the failure of the wheat
crop, there will be more than enough to
make bread for all the people. No ordinary
famine can bring distress to this people, united
from border to border by system of railways
that render quick communication possible
There will be plenty to eat ard to wear, despite
the fact that 1.-The wheat crop is failure" And
one of the most assuring thoughts is that this is
goodiy land to live in rich in resources, liber-
al in government, Astounding in schools and
churches, and at peace within its borders and
with all the world outside.
