MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME.
The sun shines bright in our old Kentucky home;
'Tis summer, the darkies are gay;
The corn top's ripe and the meadows in the bloom,
While birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll, on the little cabin floor,
Anil merry, all happy, all bright;
By'm by hard times come a-knockin' at the door
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night !
CHORUS.
Weep no more, my lady; oh, weep no more to-day !
We'll sing one song for my old Kentucky home,
For my old Kentucky home far away.
They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon,
On the meadow, the hill and the shore;
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
On tho bench by the old cabin door;
The day goes by, like a shadow o'er the heart,
With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the darkies have to part;
Then, my old Kentucky homo, good night !
The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the troubles all will end,
In the field where the sugar-cane grow.
A few more days to tote the weary load,
No matter it will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road,
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night !

following note which explains itself:

and which I think hundreds of your

Butler, elder daughter of the Marquess

sisted by Rev. Canon Fleming aud Rev.
C. II. Murphy, chapluin of the forces.
The nave was lined wilh non-commissioned
officers aod men of tho Coldstream
Guards, io which regiment the bride
groom formerly commanded a battalion.
"The Rev. Canoo Fleming," says the
London Standard in its accouut of the
wedding, "addressed the bridegroom as
follows :
"Beatrice aod Raginald, with mutual
pledges and trusting hearts, you have to
day entered on the most solemn and
sacred oompaot that can bind man aud
woman together, for marriage ia the very
sacrainent of love. It is often said that
marriage is a lottery, but if it is founded,
as I believe io your case, on true affec
tion, there is no lottery io it. Two hearts
that have hitherto dwelt apart are today
made one, two lives that have hitherto
been divided run today, like quicksilver,
into one. In joy aod sorrow, from this
hour, there are two to share or divide it.
Beatrice, remember you are the wife, or,
as the word implies, the "woof" of the
homo, weaving the threads of love out of
your own heart, to environ him against
the cold winds of life. This is a rough
world outside. Let your husband return
from it to be always greeted wilh the sun
shine of unfailing gentleness, for gentle
ness is the loveliest robe you will ever
wear. If I venture to speak tbus to
you, it is because I have known you so
long, because I speak to you as ao old
friend, because I believe you have formed
the highest ideal of the new relation into
which you enter today, aod will seek
help from God to fulfill it. And for you
(the bridegroom), to whose sheltering
oare she is henceforth intrusted, who can
doubt for a moment but that a soldier, so
distinguished for his fidelity lo his late
Queen, and now to bis King, so foremost
io devotion to bis country, will cherish
the yeung life you take to your heart to
day, as a flower given by God into your
tender care, shielding her from overy
rude breath and guarding her always
with a pure aod manly love. Duty is
the watchword of (be brave soldier, and
the same traits i f character which have
always found you where danger was to
be met or duty was to be done will hold
you ever faithful and true to her, as ber
Irish heart will ever beat faithful aod
true to you. And may this auspicious
day be crowned by Heaven wilh life-long
happiness and blessing I"

trumpet soaod or Orphean melodies "to
