The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We'd
ding.

There has been a great deal of COM
deal of talk in some circles about the
so-called snobbery displayed by the pub
lie apropos of the Marlborough-Vander-
bit wedding. Last evening a minister
in this city thought fit to take it as a
text for his sermon. 1t is worth while
inquiring whether, after all. there is any
snobbery whatever in the great public
interest which has attached to the event.
Indeed we think there was not. The
attention which the wedding attracted
appears to us to be most natural and
the desire to see something of it or to
read something about to be intensely
human. Emerson says that all the
world loves a lover" and it is a beau
tiful and a good thing that this universal
a crowd equal TO a wedding, however
humble The news that one was in prog
ress would fill any church in the city
if people could get there quickly enough
to witness it. There is no true woman
who would not walk miles in the rain
in her best gown to feast her eyes on a
young and happy couple. and there is
no man so hardened but he viii stop
to look at the bright. sweet face of a
bride, n in his heart wish her good
fortune. All this is true of the most
commonplace wedding that ever was
s~olemnized
Is it then wonderful hat when the
parties to the contract are peculiarly
interesting in themselves or in their
station or their fortunes, and when the
wedding is made beautiful with every
thing that money and good taste can
contribute, the public interest in the
ceremony is intensified to an acute de-
gree. In such a marriage as this, the
people are surrounded, for the average
poor devil. with a sort of Zenda atmos-
phere of romance. Here are the COM
panions of our recreative hours, in real
life, and on parade for our entertain
ment. Their luxury and their treasures
are in part ours, for this occasion only.
If we have a touch of speculation in US
we can amuse ourselves constructing
their emotions. We can gain content
with our W more modest lot by re-
feeting how very little more joy they
get, after all. out of their gorgeous
pageants than we do out of our pretty
weddings which only get a few lines in
a local paper, or perhaps no notice at
all.
So far as We can see, the only snob-
berry in the whole business is on the
part of the toploftical idiots who try to
show how "genteel' they are by affect
ing to despise what simpler people are
pleased to regard with interest and ad-
miration. To judge from the facts, as
the newspapers agree on them. the
Marlborough-yanderbilt wedding was a
beautiful thing in many ways, with
much romance and some pathos in it,
and, altogether, by no means beneath
the attention of the social philosopher,
or anybody else.

In Business at Centenary Church.
A fair representation of the r.. M. G.
A. attended service last evening in the
Centenary M. E. Church, to hear wha
Mr.. w Z. Drake had to say about
young men in business. He declared
honesty among young men was a scarce
article today. BY honesty he meant
more than not stealing money. An hon-
est man he classed as one who does
not steal and one who pays his debts
in a reasonable time. One form of dis
honesty among young men was in re-
porting from five to fifteen minutes late
and gaining all that time on an en-
would be on time, and il late would
explain.
young men," he continued, should be
willing, punctual and Industrious and
possess a degree of intelligence. A man
or woman should be Thoroughly quail
fed 10 perform the duties required. They
should. have a correct conception of their
abilities. The world is full of people
who try to do work they are not quail
fed for, and the result is general dis
satisfaction.
IAN employer has a right to know
where employees spend their evenings
Tell me where a young man stays from
eight until ten. O'Clock and I will tell
you what kin of a man he is. An hon-
est man will be careful what he does
at night, so that he will be prepared to
properly perform his duties the next
day"
Pastor butcher took up the same sub
jeot: He said the young man who Is
fond of his church and home is nom
est. Home is the nope of everyone,
and where there is hope there is happi-
ness. Home Is the foundation of the
church, the State and the nation. Low
ing, tender and brave is she who guides
and moulds the child's heart In the home.
