Before claiming his bride,who had been the love of his youth as of his manhood, he distinguished him- self, young as he was, in the Seminole war. The marriage has been a happy and prosperous one. During the war of the rebellion the Gen. eral lost a most interesting boy, nine years of age. There are six children now living, fourof whom are daughters.

When I think of the grand- tater of the bride—Mr. Ewing—he who gave fuch & pure example to all his children; when [ thiuk of the grandmother of the bride, waom I saw Inid out in death, when she looked more lke a bride than a corpse, so beautifal was her ance; when I remember how ber noble ud walked into the roomjand gazed upon that lovely form, having the 'ao- pCarance more of life than death, and walked back again to take still another gaza at all that was left of the wonderful woman, Mrs Ewing; when ! think of all thisit seems asif sce those blessed souls looking down from Heaven upon the scene that is now spread out before ur, invoking God's blessing. Marriage is ¢=<entially @ religious ceremony. Itis uot a mere buman or civil contract. No, beloved friends. (ther marriages may bs of the earth, earthy; but @ marriage like this is of Heaven, heavenly. (God bestowed his blessing at (he first marriage, upon the first couple, and pronounced their union good. He blessed the marriages of the patriarchs; and the blessings that He gave to them were prophesies that were fulfilled to the letter. On the occasion of another recorded marriage, God sent an angel from Heaven to prepare the young couple tor their wedding; the angel traveled with them; the angel protected them the night of tueic marrixge, and brought them back in safety to their friends. And this, agare, shows how God Goes biess @ tre marriage; not a mere Luman rite—s mere civil contract —but @ marriage made in accordance with God's holy purpose. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was present at the wedding of Cana in Galilee, and Christ's disci es and sposties were also there. It was at wedding that Christ wrought his tirst mira- turning the water into wine. Thua we see cred thing marriage is, and what are its duties. Hence, you are thoroughly in- strneted in the nature of the ceremony which is to be performed before you. And I am ex credingly pleased to see the great respect for the house of God; respect for His Excellency, te President; respect for the parents of the bride a d the friends of the bridegroom, which this large congregation show in the good order, quietness, the proprieties that have been observed. I congratulate you on it. Itis not other marriages we have seen, bat it isa marriage which shows that the ceremony isa Holy one; one over which God is expected to preside, and which God is expected to bless. My friends, I shall not detain you any longer; nor delay further in bestowing the blessing of Aimignty God on the bride and Peidegrooms the peer com} Fag friends. ently, then God's blessing is nofreaiized, wad marriage fails of its bi; mission, and society Seomenes @ locer; hase LA = in this case, the lage ceremony is properly respected; erly conducted, and God’s iecsin rests on the parties, thep all is well, and the gainer. groom and bride (Noe with the body ard blood of Christ.
