At the conclusion Of the ceremony the Archbishop ad
dressing the newly married pair ON the sanctty and in
volatility OF the marriage vow, sadThe contract you
have entered into for e II be broken.
What God has joined let not put asunder."
Our Lord himself raised the dignity Of sacrament
and his church in all resisted every attempt 70 lessen
the sanctiy Of the matrimonial contract The Catholic
church has granted div0rces-never, never.
You may have heard that she has done 30,
but believe it not; It's a mistake J; she has never
matey entered into she will For maintaining
the invoaby Of this sacrament the church lost England
and at the present moment she would lose thousand
Englands or any other country rather than loosen the
bonds that binds society together. What would
the condition Of society be but for marriage So
iety is made up Of families, and to this sacrament
the family relations are indebted for their sane
tity, stability, decency and dignity. Marriage is
mere human contract to be dissolved at the option
of either party; cannot be affected by prosperity
or adversy sickness health, JOY sorrow; it lasts
through lfc ana only be broken by tho summons
that calls other from this world II has its bless
ngs its privileges, and it has also its trals but they will
be borne together: and with religion your guide and
pole star they will conduce your eternal interest and well
farc.o After further remarks the Archbishop alluded
10 the with which divorces obtained and their
injurious effect the morals Of the community The wis
dom Of the church Of God observed the Archbishop
never more strikngy displayed than in her unwavering
opposition to divorces See the state Of society to which
facility Of obtaining them has led at the present time,
when men can be found to advocate the total abrogaon
O marriage, its dependence the whim and caprice
OF the parties entering into it, After dwelling on this
double marriage, that is being married according to
the Catholic and Protestant ritual This, he said,
impossibty they could not be half married in one place
and halt married in another. They should remember
when they were married in that church other
ny was requste-that was final. The Archbishop then
exhoted them the duties Of the married sate the
tual affection and forbearsnce they should exercise TO-
wards each other and addressing the bridegroom, sad
he should bear mind that this young lady had been
surrounded in her home with loving and attention.
and that devoved upon him TO supply the place of those
aectionate relatives she had left She will be the lady
men and there is every human TO suppose that
the marriage this day soemnized will be fortunate and
happy.


A POETICAL TRIBUTE TO THE BRIDE.


INSPIRED by THE OCCASION.
[Impromptu lines having witnessed the marriage of
Miss Bartlett at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Oct 13 1859


The bride WAS perfect oveiiness


Contentment yielded grace


To the soft beaming OF her eye,


The beauty Of her face.


a peaceful sweet expression


Gave TO her lovely mien


glow Of more than earthly stamp,


In nature rarely


placid gentle meekncss


IN her appearance shone,


While dignity and tranquil ease





The dove-the swan in her appeared;


As swan in grace she moved,


And as the dove in tenderness,


BY pure hearts was approved.


She must be all of happiness,


Or could not thus appear;


And must the hearts Of those rejoice


To whom She Is 80 dear.


We wish hes all the blissfulness


That wealth and love can yield,


And hope that in her future life


True joy will be revealed.


For never has a lovlier bride


Fer met view at bridegroom's side.


No pride of worldly pomp displayed;


Meekness she her whole M appearance pea ,,is swayed.
