- v " WEDNESDAY, FEBBTJARY 1. WEDDING BELLS. ? - t ? - i**- - ? The wedding bells are ringing, Sweet joy and gladness bringing To e?ery heart, who from their peai, finds Love's rich radiance springing ; And though the lips may fal ter, To speak before the altar The words that bind, "Till death do part," yet sweetly with the Psalter **0, Love, divine and tender, * ?: Yelled in thy softened splendor," : We chant -with trust, thy praise, and pray : "Oh be this home's defender ; God bless these hands united ! And bless these hearts thus plighted ! Ia all their lives may they be one, unsevered and unbligh ted. Give grace in fullest measure, Let duty be a pleasure, And every gift that-Fortune sends, accepted as a treasure. Sunshioe and shadows sharing, Each for the other caring, And each, with tender heart and true, the other's burdens bearing. So,, by thy Spirit guided,. Life's duties all divided, May all its complex choices be by Love's sweet voice decided. Thus with bright hopes supernal, Through ali life's season vernal, May each receive, for work well done, a home and lifPeteraal. -L. A. Morrison. Laws of the State?

The Woodrow controversy sjems to have the obstinate vitality of ISaugero's ; ghost. The last i?sue of the Southern | Presbyterian contains au editorial from j Dr. Woodrow charging on the Professor of the seminary that thpy prohibit the students from listening to his lectures in the South Carolina College, and there seems little question that ruch is the case. Without going into the question of whether Dr. Woodrow's theories are right or wrong, and admitting that thc church may insist that her students shall not be forced to listen to doctrines which" may not be true, it may still be held that it ?3 a great stretch of paternal authority for the faculty to dictate to grown men studying theology, what they shall read or whom they sball hear. ; The church may decline to force Dr. j Woodrow's questionable theories on her . students. It, can hardly claim that he ; is such a moral leper that his books should be burned or his thoughts be ; stifled. This position would compel his expulsion, not only from the seminary , but froaj^the church. i ITEMS. Dakota will come in, bat will not count in this year's electoral college. An amiable Kentuckian has intro? duced a bill to prevent the marriage in that state of persons of bad temper. A Tennessee young woman is gaining fame by her remarkable power over dumb brutes. She can ride or drive at moment's notice mules and horses that no one else can handle. The latest innovation in marriage ceremony comes from Philadelphia, where the bridesmaids form in the ves? try room, and, escorted by the ushers, come down the main aisle to meet the bride. The Adjutant-General of South Car? olina announces that the Lcgislalure has appropriated ?14,000 for maintain? ing the military, but did not provide for an encampment. This officer ad? vises that the companies provide for an encampment by devoting as much of their quota as possible for this purpose. Tbe fortieth anniversary of the wo? man suffrage movement will be celebra? ted in Washington by an inter-national council, March 25 to April 1 inculsive. Cady M. Stanton, Mary A. Livermore, Lucy Stone,* Francis Willard, Caroline Buell, Julia Ward Howe, Clary Bar? ton and many other distinguished women are expected to be present. Some time ago it was reported that Judge Aldrich would retire from the Circuit Bench before thc expiration of his term of office. He denies the cor? rectness of such publication, and says, "that at present he sees no reason why he should not contiuue to sit on the Bench until the end of his term." His term does not expire until 1890. Can? didates will please take a back seat This is a Presidential year. Elec? tions will be held for Congress as well as for State offices and President.
