WEDDING BELLS RING

Arp Distusses Marriage in Interest

SPEAKS OF THE TROUSSEAU.
Bartow Philosopher Discourses on
Dresses and Other * Features of a
Wedding.
Wedding bells have hern ringing
?round hero for some timie. Their
, mueic always excite the good people
?nd everybody talks about the coming
nuptials. Mothers, wives and daughters
are -specially interested, for it is
'Jie bride who liae most at stake and
:s about to surrender everything to her
over. Hut hope is stronger than fear
and the women sill rejoice in lr and
wish the good work to go on. They
dissect and discuss every phase of the
new relationship and crowd the chut-, h
or the home where the knot is to be
1 ii d with anxious and eager interest.
Th bridal tro-seaus and the wedding i
;;if<s have espeeial consideration and
ai fully inspected. What a difTer ?nn

it My wife never wore a dress that
v a\ in her life for she wears a number
two shoe and steps like a deer.
Hnt it is a woman's nature 10 love 1
ornament. She cannot help it and .t
is no - in. John Wesley tried to cure '
her of it in the dis. ipline. hut he
could nil discipline about ornaments
and jewelry and other finery !s a '
dead letter. 1 have suspected that '
may ' he was too hard on It is wife 1
a lion! uch things and that is why she
quit him What a miserable time those
women had in the days of the Puritans
when a pretty girl had to wear a plain '
Ida !< dr?ss to church; a home made
straw hood shaped like a coal scuttle
on her head, and not. an earring nor a 1
breast pin nor even a string of glass '
h ads around her neck. The creator
,adorned the earth with flowers and
studded the heavens with stars. He j
gave the birds their beautiful plumag' 1
and taught them to sing for our pleas- !
ure. There are diamonds in the mines j
and pearls in the o can and of course
they wore made for women. We men )
care nothing aibont such things. I I
wouldent give ton dollars for a bushel
of them. but my wife goes into rapture
over thoni and would pivo everything
she has pot. for thorn, except her children
and may be mo.
Woman us a curious and peculiar
creation. I have been studyinp them
for sixty years and don't fully under- '
stand them .vet. They are very near
to us and very dear to us. but very
unlike in their devotional nature;
their love of the beautiful: their lonp 1
suffering under trial and adversity.
They po willingly and eagerly to the
marriage altar wnen they know that
theirs is all the peril and theirs to lie
all the pain and rare and grief that
inevitably comes to a wife and mother.
I have pondered over all this and i
if ] was a woman and had only a I
man's instincts and emotions I would !
not marry any man upon earth. It Is
the t'.od given maternal instinet that
persuades and forces a woman to marry
?he will launch her boat upon the
stream and take her chances to jump
tlio waterfalls. She will marry even
agrinst her judgment and the pleadi'
v.i of iter friends, rihe does not realize
the force of this maternal instinct,
but it impels and (ontrols her.
My little granddaughters are perfectly
happy with their dolls. They plav
with them by day and sleep with them
by night. A little four-year-old said
to me last nipbt, "(Janpa. don't take
'lolly away from me till I pet fast
asleep." luttle boys care nothing
about dolls. They want halls and
drums and fire-crackers and punsconielhing
that will make a noise. \
ii' i i iiivlh a woman and marries tier,
hut there is not a particle of paternal
Instinct influencing him. The young
mother hugs her first horn to her
bosom an<l is happy. The young father
takes the advent, of the child as a
matter <*f courso. hut not of choice. In
course of time the little one grows into
favor and lie becomes attached to it
and even proud of it. hut there is no >
paternal Instinct. The true woman
loves to l?e a mother. She is not con- ,
tent, with ono child. Sho wants another
and another. Two children i
double her love and therefore her hap
pincas and liiraJly when she has no 1

more little ones to fondle, ho* in-t?r- f
nul lo-ve laps over to her grand'hil- ^
(lren. and she would claim them if she
could. Mrs. Wilcox wrote a lamentation
on the "Decay of the Materna* Instinct
in New England," asserting lhat ^
the women up there did not wish for
children and there was hardly a hoisthold
that had more than one or t'"t>?
just enough to inherit the father'?? estate.

When that demys everything \ Ise

without children?a natural contple- A
ment or children?is on the town
grade. To arrest or impede the coming
of children is a violation of th?
law of God.
*Phe earth mi fit be ivec?i?le<I by hoiiorable
marriage. Milton says "'Hail

nfTspring." And again he says of i narriage.
"It is the sum of earthly l>i is* " ^
Other <ynleal old poets make spel t of *
it and call it. a "lottery." "An in 111u- T
tion where those who are out with to t

ask the question, 'Is marriage a fail- 1
ude?" and discuss it in prose and poe- d
try. Well, suppose that it is. what is |
to be done about it. Who is going to
stop it? How shall the earth t>* peopled

The Throne Never Vacant.
The theory of the Knglish Oonstitut.ion
is that the throne of (lren.t Hrit.iin
is nev?r vacant. In other word-,

Hence, as Dcbrett explains it. the ceremony
of coronation is merely a solemn
recognition and (unlit n it on of ro al
dopeent and the <onsetp nt right of acromion
to the throne and is unnecessary
for the security of the title to the
crown.
It is cttsloinary on the death of the
Sovereign for the Archbishop of Canterbury
and the l.x>rd Cham iter lain to
notrify the heir-apparent of his accession,
though even this is technically
superfluous. The notification to the
people is made by proclamation
through the Ixml Mayors and the lx?rd
lieutenants of counties, etc.
The proclamation issued when Queen
Victoria succeeded to the throne rend
as follows:
