A BRIDAL SONG.

When my dear love was born,
Shine Quit
And with your brightest ray
Bring gift divine to mark her wedding
day.
A gift golden glean
A prophecy of good in every beam.
Rejoice with so much of yourself that in her
lives,
Which she with loving joy to others freely
gives.
o Moon,
From out whose peaceful life,
A portion came to guard her own from
strife,
Shine out
And with your softest light,
Make happy Peace to rule her wedding
night;
Let all your rays in sivery sheen,
Whisper of coming nights serene,
: Rejoice with so much Of yourself that in her
lives
Which she with loving joy to others freely
gives
o Stars,
From out whose twnkling beams
Came radiant CLEANS
To dwell. and find within her soul an
SUMMER warmth than ever stars do
know,
Catch from unsettng suns tonight
A rudder tint-a hint of Heavenly light
Reflect her eyes
And make beauty in the skies
Rejoice with so much of yourselves that in
her lives,
Which she with loving joy to others freely
gives.
o Flowers
Whose censers swinging slow,
Exhaled rare perfume drenched in morn
ing dew
To touch the breath that first she drew,
Lift Loyalty your heads and gayly smile
With JOY the while
Her bridal blossoms bloom
Gull sweet perfection from her face,
And then give back your borrowed grace
Rejoice with much Of yourselves that in
in her lives,
Which she with loving joy to others freely
gives.
o Music,
Born upon celestial Tyres.
And thrilling mid angelic choirs,
Come nearer earth to-day,
Whisper in my lay;
Repeat the melody you sent
When to the world her voice you lent.
Swell in the air that tells
The echoes of the bells;
Be like her Lovers heart,
OF her own part.
Rejoice with much of yourself that in her
lives,
Which she with loving joy to others freely
gives.
o Love,
From out whose very heart she came
Born from thy glowing fame
Look down
And in thy glorious way
Crown thou her wedding day.
Oh, nearer come-1nake thou her bridal bed,
Close by her side all future pathways tread,
Help her to see thy face
In every cline and place;
Rejoice with so much CT myself that in her
lives,
Which she with loving joy to others freely
gives.
And ye.
o favored ones and blesi,
Whose hearts have been her rest
Since life bsgan,
Ye listen now-and hear. with all Loves
pain.
Her marriage vow;
Giving where most We long to keep,
Smiling where most ye LONG to weep;
Repress your tears,
Danish your fears,
Rejoice with so much Of yourselves that in
her lives,
Which she with loving joy to others freely
gives.

The guns OF the Richmond are nEzzle-

Of the gun, as is the case with the breech-

! must here say that I would rather be
captured by our naval officers than by any
other naval officers have ever seen. The

and Atlanta, and the young fellows are as
handsome as steel engraving. While gaz-

The Atlanta IS a far representative Of
the modern war vessel and would be the
most effective craft IN the world If she
could use her guns. She has all the mod
err improvements, hot and cold water,
electric lights, handy 10 depots and q good
view of the ocean. but when she shoots of
her guns they pull out her circles, abrade
her deck, concuss her rorunda, confuse the
main brace and injure people who have al
WAYS been friendly to the Government
Her guns are now being removed and new
circles put in, so that in future she will be
enabled to give less pain TO her friends and
SQUIRT more gloom into the ranks of the
enemy She Is at present as useful for
purposes of defense as a revolver il the

Politics has very little to DO with the con-
duct OF a navy-yard. No one would talk

Needless Advice to the Lady in the Kitchen.

Never have a meal ready exactly On tine.
The mistress Will expect you TO do 1t again.
IL YOU know how to cook any troublesome
dishes keep it secret You might be told
to cook them
When you are showd how to do q new
thing display as much stupidity as possible.
The lady will have TO do It herself until you
learn how.
Never come as soon as you are called.
Too great readiness makes people exactIng.
Be careful not to admit that any one else
does harder work than you. Wages might
be gagged accordingly.
Talk necessarily of the hardship and IN
pleasantness Of being obliged 70 DO the work
you were engaged for, and Of your extreme
good nature in dong it.
So shall you find favor in the eyes OF the
mistress, and the heart of the master VIII
