Bom« BncflwfeioBi Abo«( Airuagiag AMkin for Their EBtartataouBt A L4.tUe Attention to a Few Simple O*- talla ^fay Add Immeasurably to the PletMuree of a Woddina Party. HOW 'TO Orr MaBKIKD. No evi nt of note haa broki n the compara- tive quiet of the past week, only the naoal number of club meetings have beea well at- twided sad some informal dinner-parties have brought together a number of friends who have arran^d to visit in a party, after the repast, one of the numerous theatres. Cards of invitation constantly announce from yoang friends that "they will tie a knot with their tongues that they cannot untie with tbeir teeth ' Aud while listening to the gentle tintinnabulation of the aierry msrriagv-bells, whose cootinaed ringing seems to call attention from all other social subjects during the present month, thoughts are suggested on the many appropriate VOBJI8 or COHDUCTIHO MATRUiOHIAL miTO, that may be helpful to those coatemplating â- uoh an occurrence, but as yet undetermined whether it shall be a church celebration or within the sacred precincts of home. Much may be said in favor of both hallowed places, hot the hearts of the most interested parties moat decide the question, and some mention maybe made in regard to the decoration of both. Fashion rules that no longer shall the pure white bell, the auapicioua horseshoe, or the protecting umbrella of flowers, with th«ir supporting garlands, be suspended over the altar, but throughout the home they still hold away, and were all to listen with atten- tive ear to the language of the floral world, each leaf and bud and bloasom would tall the stcry of ita Hfe, its ate, and the thought that It but emblems, many pleading with thoughtless gatherers for time for perfect fruition. Though do ornament ao beautiful, aU wire not roiaot merely for decoration, let them not be waatefully plncked I A anggr^tioD regarding THK FLOWKKS MOHT APPROPRIATB TO VOUNO BRICBS may here be added. Leave to widows who mairy aaecondtime, or ladies who havearriv- ed at .30 years, the fnll-blown roees; only buds, orange-blosaoms, lilies of the valley, white violets, or other fine flowers are suited to the yonnu, and these aTe equally iua(.propriate to ladies of maturer years. It is thought inelegant and nnuecessary to S4:nd cards ot adin.asion to the chui cb, but the annoying occurrence at a wedding in a neighboiing city not long since, where it was necessary to call upon the police to clear the aialea and pews sufficiently to j^ive toom fur the bridal party and fiienda, suggests the oomfort of the old style, whether according with ihe tiat uf Dame Fashion or in tUs obtdieuce thereof. Indeed, in this land of libel ty, may not each citizen exercise his r her righis, and coiiaider thegreatest comfort the uiofct lerfect e'egance? Entiring, by the invisible power held aa oracle in points of etiquette ibaerved in social life, the room in wiiioh the bride-elect is being arrayed for the ceremony, let THE MOTHRR OF THE BRIDB listen to one thought pertaining to her own sweet seivce in the tibal adorrment. It is her oan |itculiar privilege tu envelop in the pure protecting veil, with her kiaa of enc ur- Hgemeut and all-embracing blessing, the beloved child she is about to entrust to another's care. Others isay acai^t in arrang- ing the folds according to the prevailing mode, but loviog hands alone must throw over her head the mystic veil and place the crowning wreath or spray of bloaaoma. As an almost perfect model of a wedding in the church may be considered that held in the New England church on Thursday, a week ago, which may be varied in uninber of bridesmaids and groomsmen, in the styles of dress fur the whole bridal party, chang- ing the hour from noonday to evening, which will add brilliancy of li^ht, at least, aud many pretty and attraeuve details may be introduced, if the oompoeure of the bride will permit of the additioual time required. Vei y pretty is the custom of sending a little' child in advance of the oahers, or those who walk first in the bridal procession, carrying a shallow basket of tloweis, in the centre of which rests the wtdding-ring to be offered at the appointed time by the child, who sym- bolizea love, aud, on tbeir return from the altar to the carriage, the child or children may precede the happy pair, strewing their pathway with flowers, full of sweet, signifi oance, heraldmg pc ce and happineae on liie's pathway aud the blossoming of every hope. Following the marriage, TH8 KNTKRTAlNMKNT AT TH« H0U8K. of the bride's father, nearest relation, or frieu-l, may take the form of an evtuiog party, with dancing and other diversions, or ot an ordinary reception where congratula- tions are offered and slight refreshments par- taken of. Wedding preaenta may be exhibi- ted only ill a room somewhat aecluded, aa good taate forbids great diaplay of friend- ship's offerings. Whichever entertainment is preferred, politeness demanda a formal call from eaoh guest as toon as may be thereafter. In case ofillueas or other unavoidable de- tention, visiting cards may be enclosed in fitting envelopes and sent by meesenger or mail. This will answer the oft repeated question. " Need one pay a formal visit af- ter receiving an invitation to a simple reoep- tioi»!" Though matrimonial bonds niay be as bind- ing without any pretty pr•liminsrie^ yet like Truth aevere, by tairy Bction drast the event of one's lifetime may be made more beautiful, and a living picture m the memory if bat marked with adoruments and devioea appropriate to all surrounding conditiour.

A Nortn CaroUaa tUrrlana. Cap- .*^loon after the cloae of the last war tain X was appointed a justice of the in a country place not far from Raleiab, North Carolina. His father had been a planter in a rather small way, aad his son the captain had ao- qnircd oonsiderable experience in the busi- ness uf managing real estate, drawing up deeds, etc., dnring the father's lifetime, and then in settling the estate after his decease. Further than this be had no legal know- ledge, and, indeed, his entire stock of "book- learning" wss small aod poorly selected, but any lack iu general infjrniatioa waa fully made up, for his uses, by self-assertion Late one afterneon, aa he waa riding home from Raleigh, be met a young woman and two men, who hailed him and inquired if he waa Captain X. The young woman and one of the men wished to be married at onoe. The other bad come as a witness. They had procured the oeceasary license, but ao irate father waa on their path, and swore that they fehould never be married. It was con- sidered on all accounts safest to have the ceremony performed without delay, and try pacification afterward. Now the captain had never witneased a marriase, and naturally had no very clear idea of what was luual in sudL-caaes. He remembered having seen a booE~ about the house years before with a form for marrfage in it, but what the book was and where it was he could not remember. "Why," said he, when he told the story afterward, " I knew the 'Postles' Creed and Commandments, and at first 1 tlMMciit Id use 'em to begin on, but then I reckoned, on the whole, they was too dumed solemn." He aakeid the couple to ome to his house, secretly hoping that he could tind that book; but they declined, for the reasoD that the matt r admitted of no delay. A less aaaured man would have been sorely perplexed, but oot he. He lost no time in removing his hat, and remarked, " Hats off in the presence of the court. " AU hieing nn- ctvered, he said, " I'll swear you in fast off. Hold up yer right hands." " Me too " asked the friend of the groom. "Of course," said the captain, "all wit- nees must be sworn. Yon and each of you solemnly swear that the evidence you shall give in this case shall be the truth, th' 'ole truth, an' oothin' but the truth, a'elf you God. You, John Marvin, do aolemoly awe r that to the best of your knowledge an' belief you take this yer woman ter have an' ter bold for yerself, yer heirs, exekyerters, ad- ministrators, and assigns, for your an' tbeir uae an' behoof forever " " I do," answered the groom. " You, Alice Ewer, take this yer man for yer husband, ter hev an' ter hold forever and you do further swesr that von are law- fully seized in fee-simple, are /ree from all incumbrance, and hev good right to sell, bargain, and convey to the said fraBtee yerself, yer heirs, administrators, and as- sigus T " " I do," said the bride, rather doublfolly. "Well, John," said the captein, "that 11 be about a dollar 'n' flfty centfi." " Are we married? " asked the other. "Not by a darned sight ye aint," qnoth the captain, with emphasis; "but the /et comet in her*." Aft r some fumbling it was produced and handed to the "Court," who examined it to make sure that it waa all right, and then pocketed it, and oontinaed "Know all men by these presents, that I, Captain X, ot Rsleigb, North Carolina, being in good heakh and of souud and disposin minii, in contideration of a dol'ar 'n fifty centa to me in hand paid, the receipt whereof 18 hereby acknowledged, do and by these S resents have declared you man and wife uring good behavior, and until otherwise ordered by the court." The men put on their hata again, the yonng couple, after shaking their beuefactor's band, went on to meet their destiny and the iiate father, while the captain rede home richer in experience. aaO, wtth a siMiB le^TMl »«• kaia dna» i^ fraaB the l5t mAa A w^t tmTmU PaahloB Notaa.

The little woman had beea paming a long time with a sick mother ia New York. The baby had beea bom in her mother's house, and she had not seen her hasbaod (to whom ahe waa bow returning) for twelve months. Well, to be sore, there never was a little woman so full of hope, and tendemem, ard love, and anxiety, as the little woman was snd there she was, all the Kve long day, wondering whether he would he at the wharf, aad whether he bad got her letter, aud whetKar, if ahe lent the iMiby on ihore by lomebody else, he would know it, meeting it in the street which, seeing that be had never set eyea upon it in his life, was not very likely in the abstract, but wsa prob- able enough to the young mother. She was iuchan artless little oreature,and wasinsuch a sunny, beaming, hopeful state, and let out alt this matter clinging close aboat her heart so freely, that all the other lady passengers enttrred into the spirit of it aa much as she did the ciptain (who heard all about it from his wife) was wondrous sly, I promise yon â€" inquiring every time we met at table whether she expected anybody to meet her at St. Loais, and supposing BBS WOOLDN't WAMT TO OO aabore the night we reached it, and cutting many other dry jokea which coovulaed all the hearers, but especially the ladies. There waa one little, weaaen, dried-apple old wo- man among them who took occasion to doubt the conatanoy of hnabanda under such 3ir- oumatauees of bereavement aod there was another lady (with a lap dog) old enough to moralize on the liithtneas ol human affec- tions, and yet uot so old that she oonid help nursing tbe baby now and then, or laughing with the rest when tbe little woman called it by the father's name, and aaked it all man- ner of fantastic questions concerning him in the joy of her heart. It was something of a blow to the little woman that when we were within twenty miles of our destination it became clearly necessary to put tbe baby to bed, but she got over that with the same good humour, tied a little handkerchief over her httle head and then came out into the gallery with the rest. Then, such an Oracle as she became in reference to the lo- calities, aad such facetiousness as was dis- played by the married ladies, and such sym- pathy as was shown by the single ones and such peala of laughter as the little woman herself (who wonld just as soon have cried) greeted every jest with. At last there were the lights of St. Louis, and there waa the -wharfs anl there were the atepe; and the lit- tle woman, covering her face with her hands and laughing or seeming to langh MORBTHAN BVBR. ran into her cabin and shut herself up tight. I have no doubt that in the charming incon- sistency of such excitoment she stopped her ears least she wonld hear him ask for her but I didn't see her to do it. Then a great crowd of people rushed on board, though the boat waa not yet made fast, and was stag- gering about among the other boats to find a landing place everybody looked for tbe husband and nobody saw him, when all of a sudden, right in the midst of them â€" God knows how she ever got there â€" there was the little woman hugging with both arms round the neck of a fine, good-looking, sturdy fellow. And in a moment afterward), tbere she was again dragging him through the small door of her small cabin, to look at the baby aa he lay asleep. What a good thing it IS to know that so many of us would have beeu quite down-hearted and rorry if that husband had failed to come." THB BABY It will he a surprise to many in St. Louis to know wbo were the parties so feelingly touched by the pen of EHckens. The baby alluded to, which has since grown up toman- hood, is Mr. Charles R. Garrison, the eldest son of a well-known citizen, D. R. Garriton, Esq. The " little woman," the mother of Chas. R Garrison, died about six years ago. Her name was Annie Noye Garrison, and her father, Richard Noye, was a native of Plymouth, England. He was a local Meth- odist preacher, and resided many years in Buffalo, New. York., where bis son, John T. Noye, still resides, the proprietor of the largest burrmilling estoblishmeot in the United Stotos. Mr. Jharlea R. Garrison, sfortsaid "baby, " was 39 years old yesterday, having been born in Brooklyn, N. Y., October 12, 1841. His mother brought him by way of Pittobora, and, taking a Ohio river steamer for St. Louis, tbey bad una- wares fallen in with and had their little his- tory embalmed by the pen of Dickens. Mr. Garrison has no memory of the event described by Dickens, but aa he grew up his mother frequently lallied him on the fig- ure he cut in tne " Notes." mtxtmj.

Trom this, as well as from what had firevionaly cooie to oar kaoiriedge, we are ed to conclude that one of the noteworthy facts ooncerniog it waa, that the gentlemen oompoaing it, one and all, both lay and olerioal, bad a really good time while they were together. This was due in part, no doubt, to the character of the commnaity whose hofDilality they enjoyeil, but more largely still to the character and oondnct of the membera of the Council tbemaelvea. Of course thia is nothing more than we should expect of a gathering so largely compoaed of men whoae praise ia in all the ohuroaes, bat in the abaeooe of anything more remarkable, wa derira to amohasise the fact Indeed, as aMutaal Admiration Society the Council appears to have been a complete sucoesa. And this itself is grestly to ite credit. It is not all sorts nf people who can attempt to form themselves into a Mutual- Admiration So\:iety and really succeed. It is only the best of people â€" the choice spirits of the race â€" who can be brought into really close association with one another, even for ten days or a forteight, without developing more or less of thought or feeling inconsist- ent with the true character and aims of such aa institution. TLat these gentlemen drawn together from so many different oouutries, representing so many and such diverse na- tionalities, aud whose characters had been formed under such different social influ- ences, should find so much to aHmire and so little to blame iu one another, is no in- signibcent testimony in favour of Calviniatic Chriatianitv. It may be assumed that ia the penonnfl of such an assembly even of theelect there moat have been originally some ipore or less intractable material bat then, the hardest atones often take the finest polish, aod if there ever were any hard cases smong these people, or even persons with the ordinary intirmitie-a of human nature, under the refining iufluence of fresb} terianiam the moral miracle had been performed of making them about as nearly absolnlely perfect aa wrould be at all oonsistont with the limito- tioDs to human perfectobility laid down in the Shorter Catechism or the Confesiiion of Faith. But what would tbe moat faultless morality, or even the ntmoet degree of tanctity of life, le woith, if acsociated with a defective reed What pleasure can one take in the contemplation of even the most luscious fiuit when he is haunted with the suspicion that a poisonous worm ia gnawing at the root of the tree npou which it grows It has been often asserted toat this is the con- dition of all the churches of Christendom, aud the charge has evcu been brought agaiust Presbyteriaiiism itself. It has been said, that Calvinism ia dying out in it, or that, if it exists at all, it is iu a ss severely logical, outspoken, and heroic, type than that which formerly existed. It has been said that if Calvin or Knox, Jonathan Edwards or Ur. Emmons, should revisit the eirtb, he would tind very little iu the Presbyterian pulpits of our day. Of the sort of strong meat with which the stern old preacheis of a former time were wont to feed their flocks. The impressions of the Toronto delegates to the council, one and all, appears ^to be that it has without any formal deliverance, effectu- ally disposed of that charge. The unanimity with which the Cumberland Presbyterians, wbo have softened their rigid features of Cjlvinism, somewhat, were excluded from it, and tbe fact that the Welsh Met' odisto were admitted on the ground of their Cal- vinism, though they are not Presbyterians at all, are suflicient proof on this point, even if we had not the testimony of the Toronto delegates to confirm it. Indeed, the liberal-minded andgifted pastor of new St. Andrew'schurchin this city appears to almost incline to the opinion that, in tbe matter of Presbyterian Orthodoxy, the Couucil went to the verge of an undesirable extreme. He gives us to understood, that it cropped out both in tbe psalmody used, and also in the manner of singing, in the de- votional exercises connected with it^ sessions. The psalms of David only were snug, to the rigid exclusion of all human compofitions ard neither David's harp, in which he so much delighted, nor his "instrument of ten string*," wa* permitted to accompany the singing, which appears to have been of the most primitive, puritonic, and iuartistic character. In this respect, the Council does not appear to have been strictly repreaeota- tive of all the bodiee represented in it, for some of them have so tar forgotten them- selves, as to suppliment the Hebrew psalms with a psalmody more distinctively Chris- tian, and have even goue so far as to bring a " Kist of whistles into the house of God, but it may be presumed that hereafter, all such anti.Preabterianprofanationa will dis- appear for it can scsrcely be conceived as among the probabilities, that any body re- presento'l in a Council of grave and godly men, in which the singing of the doxology " Praise God from whom all blessings flow," was rebuked as an " incivility," woald per- sist in such grossly irregular practices. It is pleasant to learn that, tholigh theo- 1 'gy absorbe I most of tbe time and atten- tion of the Council, religion was not wholly excluded, and that such practical matters as Temperance and Mission received appro- priate attention. As to the t'.eology, the very fact of its thorough, not to aay ultra, orthodoxy, aod that tbe current of thought seldom left the time-worn channels, thongh perhaps its most commendable charactens- tic, must have made it a weariness to listen to so much of it so that we arc not sur- prised to lean) that it toked severely the power of endurance, of even so purely intel- lectual a gentleman as Prof. Caven aud we can well understand what a relief it must have been when something of a practical character was introduced. The reading of papers is a pretty dry busioess anyway, and when it is carried on, day after day, from weeks eod to weeks end, eepecially when the papers are closely packed together, and of a severely argumentative character, it most impo'e a pretty severe strain upon the attention snd capacity for mental digestion even of Presbyterians. We are afraid if our Methodist friends undertoke anything of the sort next year the strain will be too great for them, and that they will break down under it. Duldgno. The Paris Timf* givea the following ac- count of Dnlcigno " The town ia composed of two parte, separated from each other by the port â€" the old town, containing the citadel, and the new town, in which the population is almoat entirely concentrated, yd which comprises about 400 houses. It^ evident that if the iquadroc had opened fire it would have directed it solely againat the citadel, where there are not eighty houses. The in- habitanto would not have had to (offer from tbe txMnbarjment, Tbe certainty of not being in danger, even in :ase of military artion, baa, peihapa, had something to do with the obsunate raaiataooe the inhabitanta of Dukagno have made to the fBasirin of tbeir town to the Montonegrina.

Bat,wliite England and Soot land have enjoyed a large â- aaaar* of praaperity aad aoatsatmaat, Ire- laad haa had naathea. Hrr paoBle,||»A^««le, have been miserably poor; in fact, so much ao aa to be frt qaeatly oa the veige of acrtaal atar- vation, fnun whioh they have only kept by the charity of others. We are told, however, that the I la Ireknd are not Irishmaa that they #cre not the original owners of the soil that they got the land into their poweaaien 'by oontiaaatioa aad apokatioa and that they were placed over ttie Irish people for the put pose of alieoatiag them f^m the Catho- lic faith aod making ii'rotestanto of them. All this may be snbsUntially true snd there may be a great deal in toese facto to make the bleod of tbe patriotic Irish stadent of history boil in his veins but, after all, tbe evente of three oenturiea ago can aoaroely aooonnt for tbe miaery of to-dav. The landlorda of England are not Englian- meo. The followers of William the Un- aoeror who divided the coontry among lem, at.d made slaves of the people, did not prevent Englsud from rising. The Nora an ia the owner of the land to-day, bnt the Saxon and the Celt, whom he reduced to serfdom, eight hundred years ago, shows more largely than be does to-day both in wealth and political power. It is true that in England we do ooca'ionally hear some- thing about the tenure of land hot it is generally discussed in a calm and philoso- phical spirit and, though there are political and social philosophers 'Who believe the English land system ought to be reformed, uobody clamours for the .summary ejectment of tbe landlords as s meacs of coring either the real or imaginary ills of the country. The question with which we are brought face to face in this agitotion which is goi ug on in Ireland at the present time ii^ whether tbere is any such thing ai property in land Aud, if so, has the owner of the land a nght to deal with it just as with any other sort uf properly does the doctriue cf Free Trade, which ia, that every man has a right to buy in the cheapest maiket and to sell in tbe dearest, apply to this ks well ai to every- thing else 1 These are questiooa, however, » which we do not propose at present to aia- cusa. Assuming that the gigantic act of spoUatioD which, apparently, the Irish Land League is seek'inK to bring abt/irt, haid be- come an accomplished fai't and that every landlord in Ireland was sent packing, would that make tbe Irish a prosperous, contented, aud happy peuple Could tbe little fanner, with his miserable patoh of ground â€" often uot more than an acie or two â€" even though he owned it, in fc; simple, ever be anything but miserably poor After all the nunseuse which has been talked and written alout the eviction of tenante, the fact is, that in nine cates out of ton, we sus| cct their for- cible removsl from the overburdene.l soil, which is no longer able to sustain them, would be the very be-t thing that could lie done fur them. Une of two tbinifs is essential to the prosperity of Ireland, either that it be relieved of its suqilus liopulatioD, or that industiics be' ttarted u a sufficient scale to give employment to the millions who cannot hnd ii in the cultiva- tion of the land. No ciuutry caa ever be prueperous that depecds upou t' u cultiva- tion of the land alone. If mauufactures hail been fostered in Ireland as tbey have been in England and Scotland tbe probability ia that it would have beeu in a very different position from what it is to-day. As to the land agitotion with all its re- volting attondants of murder and arson, and every other form of outrage, whatever may be its immediate result, we are satisfied it will afford no considerable measure of permanent relief. Poor Ireland has suffered much from many physiciai's already, and we fear there is now suffering in store for her under the unskilful and blundering treat- ment of I'arnell, Dillon and 'â- â€¢. Every lover of humanity will hope and pray that the evils with which she is threatened may be avoided, but it must be confessed the out- look at present is gloomy and distre»sing.

The crowned heads of Europe are not noted for their domestic virtues, it being popularly supposed that worse husbands than tbe Emperor o' Russia, the Emperor of Germany, the Emperor of Auatria, and the King of Itoly it would not be ^wy to find. The present potentoto uf Turkey, Abdul Hamid, is described by the Constantinople correspondent of the London TVsira ai a nervous, timid man, who is afraid of hia own shadow, aod who does not venture to ride or drive beyond the limits nf bis well-gnar(^ed private pleasure-grounds. Y'et he defies Europe. Though physically a coward, be has something of that peculiar courage which produced the eo^ detal of lt6i, aud when (us cowardice and obetiUa- y are at issue, tl.e latter generally cai ries off the victory.

LoBD Vernon, the father of Archbishop Vernon Harcoort, and great grandfather of Sir William Harconrt, was walking one day with a little boy, the son of his parkkeeper, in his park at Sudbury in Derbyshire, when a steg rsn ont from a herd of red deer, and desperstoly attacked him. Lord Vernon caught his assailant by the boma, and held him with great difficulty while the little boy, aged reven years, groped in his master's pocket for a penknife, with which, following Lord Vernon s instructions, he cat the stag's throat, dividiag the jagnlar v«n. A N«w and Valiutbl* InTeBtion. Mr. Fiulay Boa, of Byng Inlet, has in- vaated and patented a gang of circular sawa, which will probably auperMd^ the ordinary stock gangs of upright saws.

The inventor claims that his gang of eirealara will eat a maoh latigar qaaatity of laaihar than the aaaal gan|L aad that the face will be smoother.
