as thou didst send thy blessings upon Abraham and Sarah to their great
comfort, so vouchsafe to send thy blessings upon this man and this
woman, that they, obeying thy will, and always being in safety under thy
protection, may abide in thy love unto their lives' end, through Jesus
Christ our Lord.

Almighty God, who at the beginning didst create our first parents, Adam
and Eve, and didst sanctify and join them together in marriage, pour
upon these persons the riches of thy grace, sanctify and bless them,
that they may please thee both in body and soul, and live together in
holy love unto their lives' end. _Amen._

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our

trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. _Amen._

THE NEW HOME.

The founding of a new home marks an important era in a human life.
Whether you be poor or wealthy, wise or ignorant, it is all the
same--you begin a new existence. The associations of childhood and youth
now undergo a total change. The familiar scenes disappear suddenly.
Longfellow, in his "Hanging of the Crane," writes the following touching
