One year from marriage makes a paper wedding ; five years, a wooden wedding ; ten years, a tin wedding ; twenty-five years, a silver wedding; fifty years, a golden wedding; and seventy-five years, a diamond wedding. " Now, then, my hearties," said a gallant captain, " you have a tough battle before you. Fight like heroes till your powder's gone, then- run. I'm a little lame, and I'll start now." A Sunday-school boy was recently asked what conscience is. He replied, "an inward monitor." On being pressed for the definition of a monitor, he replied, "One of the iron-clads." We have not heard conscience compared to iron ; but have repeatedly heard the expression, "He steels his heart against conviction."
