As the happy couple were ranged befoio the audience, supported by a smiling body-guard of young ladies, wo were told that the matrimonial army was about equally divided in religious faith, which seemed not to militate in the slightest degree against ihe practical result to be accomplished, mul I hat the large1 audience which crowded the Presbyterian Presby-terian church was similarly constituted. consti-tuted. Everything was lovely; the Utile emphatically so, and ,,hen we adjourned to the house that she was iil'oiit lo deprive of its sunshine, tho coidia! good wishes expressed around the festive board, and tho array of beautiful presents bestowed by friends of opposite faith, left in our minds the impression that "good works" wero considered by the people of this city i.s alter all ol paramount importance, and we realiz-.d that brethren can dwell together here as well as elsewhere else-where in unity.
