THE WEDDING King
Your wedding ring wears thin, dear wife; ah
summers not 8 few,
Since put it on your finger first, have passed o'er
me and you;
And, love, what changes we have seen-what cares
and pleasures, too
Since vou became INV own dear wife, when this


old ring was new.
o, blessings, on that happy day, the happiest Of
my life,
When, thanks to God, your low, sweet "Yes" made
you my loving wife;
Your heart will say the same know; that days
as dear to you,
That day that made me yours, dear wife, when this
old ring was new.
How we'll do remember now, your young, sweet
face that day:
How fair you were-how dear you were-my
tongue could hardly say;
Now how dotted on you; ali! how proud was
Of you;
But did 1 love you more than now, when this old
ring was new?
Mono no fairer were youthen than at this hour
to me,
And dear as life to me this day, how could you
dearer be?
As sweet your face might be that day as now it
is, It's true, =,
But did know your heart as well when this old
ring was new?
o partner of my gladness, wife, what care, what
grief is there
For me YOU would not otbravely face-with me you
would not share?
o! what weary want had every day, if wanting
you,
Wanting the love that God made mine when this
old ring was new.
Years bring fresh links to bind US, wife-small
voices that are here,
Small faces round our fire that make their moth
er's yet more dear,
Small, loving hearts, your care each day makes
vet more like to you,
More like the loving heart made mine when this
old ring was new.
And, blessed he God, all He has given are with us
yet; around
Our table every little life lent to still is found ;
Though cares we've known, with hopeful hearts
the worst we've struggled through;
Blessed be His name for all His love since this old
ring was new.
The past is dear; its sweetness still our memories
treasure yet;
The griefs we've borne-togetherb borne-we would
not now forget;
Whatever, wife, the future brings, heart unto
heart still true,
Well share as we have shared all else since this
old ring was new.
And if God spares US 'mongst our sons and
daughters to grow old,
We know His goodness will not let your heart or
mine grow cold;
Your aged eyes will see in milne all they've still
shown to you,
And mine in yours all they have seen since this
oldring was new.
And Oh when Death shall come at last to bid me
to my rest,
May die looking in those eyes, and resting on
that breast;
o may my parting gaze be blessed with the dear
sight Of you,
Of those fond eyes-fond as they were when this
old ring was new.

In reference to the recent critical war in
Marysvillc, the Home Journal thus pertinent
ly remarks:


"The idea that clergyman's literary or
rhetorical efforts, outside of his professional
duties, are exempt from criticism, is one
which we hold to be quite antedluvian. 1t
is now generally considered that whoever
enters the public arena, whether as orator,
philosopher, or poet, no matter how exalted
his station, or how sacred his profession,
fairly subjects himself to comparison with
all competitors, and may properly be criti-
cised like any ordinary mortal. Possibly
this may be all wrong, but it is clearly the
tendency of the age to forbid any man shield
ing himself behind his rank or position, and
to judge all performances, eff whatever char
acter, by their intrinsic merits, rather than
by the personal claims of the performers"

The MOTIVES OF NAPOLEON III.-Thc
Paris correspondent of the New York
Evening Post writes:


The Italians are generally under the


impression that Napoleon desires to


make no accession of territory by this


war. This is delusion, | have no


doubt. The provinces of Nice and Sa-


yoy belong to France by every title that


should determine the boundaries of ma


tions They are divided from Italy by


stupendous mountains; they are inhab-
Ilted by French people, and the Italian


language is scarcely ever heard in any
part Of them. Sardinia is the only state
that can make any rightful objection to
their annexation to France, and nothing
lis less probable than that she should


hesitate to grant such an inconsiderablc
reward for all the service and territory,
perhaps, which France is conferring up


on her. Besides, every one knows that


one of the leading purposes of the En-
Iperor in undertaking this war, is to


strengthen his dynasty in France


While legitimacy is regarded as SO es-
sential imminent of title as it is in
Europe, there is but one way of founding
a new dynasty with the hope of perpc-
ating it. That is by acquiring territory
which the nation can only hold by de-
Tending the title to the throne of the
sovereign who acquired it Napoleon
proposes to fortify his throne, think,
first by Strengthening the power Of con-
stitntlonal government as represented

Austria; secondly, by acquiring some
territory which he can pledge as secu-

CARVING AT DINNER-This extract, from
the recently published volume entitled
Breakfast Dinner and Tea" furnishes
some interesting facts touching that most
laborious accomplishment carving, and
how burdensome it was made in olden
times:


Carving was anciently taught as an art,
and it was performed to the sound of mu-
sic In later times, we read in the life of
Lady Mary w Montague, that her father,
the Duke of Kingston, having no wife to
do the honors of his table at Thoresby,
imposed the task upon his eldest daugh-
ter, as soon as she had bodily strength for
the office, which, in those days, required
no small share; for the mistress of coun-
try mansion had not only to invite-that
is, TO urge and tease her company to eat
more than human throats could conven-
iently swallow-but also to carve every
dish, when chosen. with her own hands
The greater the lady, the more indispens-
able the duty. Each joint was carried up
in its turn, to be operated upon by her, and
her alone; since peers and knights on eli
ther hand were so far from being bound to
offer their assistance, that the very master
of the house, posted opposite to her, might
not act as her croupier, his business was to
push the bottle, after dinner. As for the
crowd of guests, the most inconsiderable
among them, if suffered, through her neg
lect, to help himself to slice of mutton
placed before him, he would have cherish
ed it in bitterness, and gone home an af-
fronted man. There were, at this time,
professed carving masters who taught
vo1np ladies the art scientifically from ono
of whom Lady Mary took lessons three
times a week, that she might be perfect
