the ceremony which is always attended with
interest by both old and young-married or

Upon tre polished silver shine
The evening lamps, but, more divine,

But ours, tor ours Is thine and mine.
"Thcy want no guests, to come between
Their tender glances like a screen,
Aud tell them tales OF land and sea,
And whatsoever may betide
The great, forgotten world outside;
They want no guests; they needs must be
Each others own best company"
