ity. This is partly due, I think, to the
institutions under which we live. One of
the unfortunate effects derived from the
early stages of democratic training is the
sense of personal sovereignty ; the feeling
that we stand on as high ground as anybody
else. Under monarchial institutions men
are taught to revere the great and glorious
in government. The feeling of reverence
does not prevail to any extent among us,
_I discern a great lack in this respect.
Children, nowadays, are brought vp to be
pert, to be saucy, to be almost without
restraint. They are brought up to have
| very little regard either for their parents

ithe iadies are
or for theirsuperiors. And although there
are a& great many Christian households
where children are rightly bred in this re=

the tendency of which was to make child-~
ren modest and respectful.

gives to Christian character !
There are many other points that I
might speak of. The effect of punctuality
and order; the relations which men suss
tain to each other’s convenience and neces-
sities—-these, and a hundred other branches
of this subject I might discourse upon ;

Hints to Advertizers. - When people see
& man advertize they know he is a business
man, and his advertizing proclaims that he
is not above business, but anxious to do it.
Customers, like sheep, are gregarious, and
flock where they see others go. If nobody
| else were engaged in the same business, it
would - important to tradesmen and dea! -
ers to advertize in the , because

But others are engaged in the same busi -
) Ness, and even if they do not advertize, it
becomes the more important for you to do
so; if they do not advertise it becomes
| doubly important.— Anon

The Siamese twins seem to be more

Tas Roya, Marriace—An Imparrassixg
Sceng.—The London Daily News of the 24th
January contains the following particulars
of the ceremony which took place at the
Alexander Hall in $t- Petersburg:—
Dean Stenley began the exortation in a
loud voice, which on account of hoarsness
he was soon forced to abundon. As the
ceremony proceeded the Duke seemed
rather nervous, but looked pretty steadly
at Dean S anley; while the Grand Duchess
cast her eyes down—now at the carpet,
now at the banquet that she carried —and
regarded the Dean closely only during the
the usual interrogaties. in giving the vow,
the Duke answered in a very loud voice,
“] will,’ which was audible all over the
church. When Dean Stanley asked “Who
giveth this woman?” he looked significently
at the Emperor, who simply bowed. In giv-
ing her troth, the Grand Duchess repeated
the words after the clergyman in a clear,
audible voiee, and with excellent pronunci
ation
| The presentation of the ring was not
eflected without some embarrasment: The
Duke received the ring from Prince Arthur,
and passed it to Dean Stanley, who looked
at it with the eye of a connoisseur, and then
returned it to the bridegroom. The Duke
was somewhat ‘embarrassed by the prayer-
book which he held, and tried to hand i
to the train-barer behind. ‘nat function.
ary apparently not understanding what
was required of him, did not take the prof-
ferred gift. The Grand Duchess, who was
waiting, then offered to take the volume,
out the Duke finally masteredthe difficulty
and gracefully slipped the ring on the out-
stretched finger. TheDean joined the hands
of the bride and bridegroom with a great dea!
emphasis, and held them pressed together
longer than it is customary, but not even
this triple union of hands prevented them
from shaking with very obviious agitation
Instead of the usual exortations at the end
of the service, a special prayer was substitu.
ted, the felicitous language and sentiments
of which left nodoubt about its author. The
Dean delivered the prayer in a very impres
sive manner, though he somewhat marred
the effiect by trying to raise his voice to
high
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
bridal pair turned round to receive the
salutations of the Empress, who had been
standing with difficulty, and who looked
very pale and feeble. She embraced her
daughter and gave her a long kiss. At this
moment guns from the fortress bellowed
forth their more boisterous greeting, and
the splendid Russian bells sook a hundred

ity. This is partly due, I think, to the
institutions under which we live. One of
the unfortunate effects derived from the
early stages of democratic training is the
sense of personal sovereignty ; the feeling
that we stand on as high ground as anybody
else. Under monarchial institutions men
are taught to revere the great and glorious
in government. The feeling of reverence
does not prevail to any extent among us,
_I discern a great lack in this respect.
Children, nowadays, are brought vp to be
pert, to be saucy, to be almost without
restraint. They are brought up to have
| very little regard either for their parents

are a& great many Christian households
where children are rightly bred in this re=

the tendency of which was to make child-~
ren modest and respectful.

There are many other points that I

Hints to Advertizers. - When people see
& man advertize they know he is a business
man, and his advertizing proclaims that he
is not above business, but anxious to do it.
Customers, like sheep, are gregarious, and
flock where they see others go. If nobody
| else were engaged in the same business, it
would - important to tradesmen and dea! -
ers to advertize in the , because

so; if they do not advertise it becomes

Sceng.—The London Daily News of the 24th
January contains the following particulars
of the ceremony which took place at the
Alexander Hall in $t- Petersburg:—
Dean Stenley began the exortation in a
loud voice, which on account of hoarsness
he was soon forced to abundon. As the
ceremony proceeded the Duke seemed
rather nervous, but looked pretty steadly
at Dean S anley; while the Grand Duchess
cast her eyes down—now at the carpet,
now at the banquet that she carried —and
regarded the Dean closely only during the
the usual interrogaties. in giving the vow,
the Duke answered in a very loud voice,
“] will,’ which was audible all over the
church. When Dean Stanley asked “Who
giveth this woman?” he looked significently
at the Emperor, who simply bowed. In giv-
ing her troth, the Grand Duchess repeated
the words after the clergyman in a clear,
audible voiee, and with excellent pronunci

of the bride and bridegroom with a great dea!

Instead of the usual exortations at the end

At the conclusion of the ceremony the
bridal pair turned round to receive the
