Every wedding, says the proverb.
Makes another soon or late;
Never yet was any marriage
Entered in the book of Fate.
But the names were also written
Ofthe patient pairthat wait.

Blessings then upon the morning
When my friend with f'ont.lcst look,
By the solemn rite's permission,
'I'o himselfa mistress look,
And the Destinics rccotded
Another two within their book.
VVfiile the priest fulfilled his office,
Still the ground the lovers eyed,
And the parents and the kinsuien
Aimed their glttnccs at the bride;
But the grooutsineu eyed the virgins
Who were waiting at her side.
’ There they were that stood beside her,
One was dark and one was fair.
But not dark nor fair the other.
Save her Arab eyes and ltair;
Neither-dark our fair I call her,
Yes she was the fairest there.
\Vltile her groomsman-—shall I ovtn it’!
Yes. to tliee—aud only thee-
G:=zed upon this dark cytd maiden
\~Vfto was fairest of the three.
Thus he thoogltt—-'IIow blest the bridal
\h’hcre Ilte bride is such as she.’
Then I mused upon the adage.
Till my wisdotri was perplexetl,
And I wondered as the clturchmau
Dwell upon the holy text.
“’hich ofall who heard the lesson.
Should require his service next.
VVhose will be the next occasion
For the flowers, the feast, tlt_e \\ inc?

Or who knows ?—it may be mine:
