WEDLocK CELEBRATED AS A FUSERAL.
A part of Bohemia, called Egra, seems
to be the only place where wedding is
not considered an occasion of rejoicing.
There it would be deemed indecorous for
a bride to appear in white garments, or
adorn herself with jewels and white flow
ers. She wears her usual black dress,
with cloak of the same color, with a
rosary in one hand and in the other veil
with which to cover her during the cere-
mony. In this dismal attire she demurely
proceeds to the church, attended by her
relations, who preserve the utmost solem-
nifty of countenance during the cere-
monies. ....

4 wedding is always an interesting
event, and there is probably nothing
of SO frequent occurrence that stirs
half as much talk and draws so many
ready guests. Everybody, especially
every woman, likes to sec the bride !;
and the bridegroom, in his less roman
tic garb-in his black coat and with
kids--is not wholly lost sight of, and,
if not for his own sake at least for
her sake, he becomes somewhat inter
esting, as he stands up beside her, as
the dark lining to that snowy cloud,
of the dusky background Of that Wis.
ion of light. Why ii is exactly that
people are SO interested in the affair
it is not quite easy to say. 1t may be
that the immensity Of the result that
follows the brief ceremony has the
main fascination and surely no words
ever spoken on earth have such tre-
mendous meaning as the 81 will
that is interchanged between the we'd
dcd pair. There thousand questions
arc asked, and surmises are made-as
to how long they have known each
other, how they came together, how
well they are matched, what their
prospects are at present, and how they
are likely to get on in the long run.
Yet the soene is most engrossing, and
has fast effect in quickening the fancy
and moving hope. A great many
young people seem to think that mar
riage is little more than the wedding
Itself. with its gold ring, orange bios
SONS, plum cake, cards and copgratu-

A cot that stood beside the sea


Was once my childhood hondei
But had seen tall ships go by,
And longed with them to roam
l had my wish, and far and wide
traversed DER the world,
And saw with pride, in distant lands,
My native flag unfurled;
Yet absence gave my early home,
thousand charms to me-
And more than palaces priced,
My cot beside the sea.
Tho kind hearts beat in many lands
Tho gentle lookswere true,
My longing hopes of home gave birth
To many a fervent prayer.
And when | laid me down to rest,
The sweet desire of day,
Gave place to bright and happy dreams
Of dear ones far away.
Invoke and fondly thought their dreams,
Perchance had been of me:
Thus day and night longed to greet,
My cot beside the sea.
hailed at length the happy land,
l pressed my native shore,


l felt my heart grow young again,
What colld ask for more


But phantom-like, my visions fled,
The friends loved were gone;
A stranger in my childhood's home,
stood unloyed unknown;


Yet while one link in mem'ry's chain
Unbroken there shall be-


Twill bind me to that once loved home,
My cot beside the sea.

During a recent trial of a suit at law, out
West the sanity Of one of the partes-a la
dy-was questioned, and it finally became
necessary to introduce testimony on that
point. Among others who were examined
as to the sanity or insanity of the lady was
highly scientific young physician, who, in
giving his testimony as an expert, said he
considered the lad to be sound in her mind
as to most subjects, but she seemed to view
the subject of religion from the osteric stand
point of Christian ezigetical analysis, there
with aggIutinating the polysynthetical ecto-
blasts Of homogeneous ascetisim modified by
tendency to anacreontic optimism and per-
haps epicurianism." The jury could not
agree as to the sanity of the lady, but were
unanimously of the opinion that the doctor
was crazy as loon, and ought to be shut up
in the asylum.

AN OLD MINING TowN.-Thres years
ago, says the Nevada Gazette, North San
Juan was one of the most lively and flourish
ing mining camps of the State. Now it is
perhaps as dull and monotonous a town as
can be found in weeks journey through
the mines The causes of its retrogression
arc First that the silver mines of Nevada
Territory have drawn large portion of our
former population in that direction; ahd; sec
ondly, because the rich mines in that vcni-
ty have lately fallen to-the hands of COM
parativey a few individuals. Property which
a few years ago commanded a reasonable price
can now be purchased for mere song-or
rather, to speak the truth, cannot be sold at
any price. Whether better state of things
is to exist hereafter remains to be SEEN
From the best light befofs us we Judge that
the coming season will place San Juan in a
worse condition than it has ever been since
the first house was erected in the town. The
probabilities are that after the first day of
August next, there will be no water for the
use Of the miners, and that there will be an
entire stagnaton of business throughout the
entire mining regions of this neghborhood.
