GOING TO Tin; MIUItIAGB Tito preliminary Wofs «it‘ Matrimony The prospect of marriage like religion, exercises us u rule, u very soothing iulhi* ence upon the mind. Of course, \va all know that religion soothes luimau naluie down fcntoaktnd ol spiritual sleekness, which isalways enviable, ami not al trays enviable, and not always ut'aiuuble even by the devout; but why the prospect of unuriage should always produce a calm ing elVect is not easily conjectured, at a 1 events, by lht)so who Want the knack of knowing how to leeonciie experience with unagmaiion. The truth, we sup* pose, tiiUsl be that a man becomes r signed when once his marriage-day has been fixed. He is eou->ctous that the event is inevitable. Thepleasing perturbation of the period of courtship is. at an end. In tt him while lie feels that you shall see Ids name under the births and before the deaths. The sense of the duty o’ lodg ing happy and feeling j Hosed l-i np ni him. He does not Hunk the condition ol premeditated matrimony. He is very anxious to look happy ; and when con gratulated at every turn bv his friends, professes himself very much pleased.— Hut he is not phased and he is not hap py. A good deal of anxiety is generated uy the c mslauteoulemplaliou ol the day tliatisiueviti.be. Many dubhftjs reflec tions upon the concomitants uMnarriage annoy ii m. He will have best of all lo get married ; that is to say, lie will have to stand buttoned up in a dock coat some twenty minutes or more—Heaven send that me bn. e dosn't want choral service ! Uetore a clergyman, subjected to the pry ing glances of his dear relatives and mends assembled lo witness, ami by their presence, lo solemnize, if you will, the service. Then ho will have to receive the congratulations ot everybody in be ve-try louiu-a terrilic ordeal. Then he will nave to ualk down the church amid the whispering, and wonder ami gaze of rows ol strangers who have strolled into the church to witness the proceedings. Then lie will have lo push his way through a crowd o) gaping childr-n, nurses and miauls in preambulaloi's, into the car nage. Ail this kind of tiling is delight ful to women, but lo men—and to ner vous men lu particular—it is one of the greatest detei'enls lo marriage. Hut the bridegroom's misery does not thin with his getting into the eaniage. The silly coachman and footman have encumbered themselves with enormous and conspic uous favors; and he is dragged through the streets creating almost as much spec ulliiuu and prov -king almo.-tas much wonderment us a new Lord Mayor in a gdc coach. Hut ad this is trilling compared to what is to folfow. If the bride Jives in a square he has the satisfaction of seeing L e neighboring balconies crowded to catch a glimpse of t »em entering the house. If sue lives in u street, the windows are tilled willi heads, while servants grin Ihiuugh Hie urea railings and crack many humble jokes if there a*e a lew men about. Ii sue lives in the country a band of hinds and yokels just e eucli other about the doorway and rais* a hoarse cry ol welcome when the carnage stops. One would think that matrimony was a new invention; that this marriage was the first experiment. Alter the bridegroom has gone gracefully through the ordeal ol being curtesied lo by the servants of the house, Whose fanes are inflated with va rious congratulatory expressions, lie has again lo endure the snaking of hands and the spasmodic a-surancea of good wi lies that lollow the arrival of the rest ol the.party. Then comes the breakfast. A wretched old lady, who has been an in timate iriend of his family lor twenty years, strives for along time unauccesiul ly lo catch hmeye; when caught, slie**x claims in a loud voice that she expects gieut things irorn him when lie returns thanks. Hang her! Ho in gieat misery, trying to,look uncmeerued and cheerful, waning for the moment when the lather of the bride shall i ropose their, healths. Why are not these detestable wedding break fa-it speeches banished? The rising of the lather i d always pre ceded by euine. minutes silence- Every body sympathized with everybody else. The thin man at the head ol the table is sallow, ami his eyes are bleared. Ner vousness has wrought this uupUuaant ef fect. He knows he will have to return thunks 4 for the bridesmdds; and more than once lie inquires earnestly of him self what be done lo merit Ids present Hollering. The father of the bridegroom Is thoughtful and pale- He is meditating his reply to Hie mast proposed to the health of his wile and himself. There is iufiuiio expectation among the women; CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25,1869 much dread among the meti< ' But *Llio bridegroom is thd most miserable just now. He knows that when he arises lie will not only have to address those whom he can see -he will have to address those also whom he can’t see. Servants linger behind the door to crl'iclse the declama- Uon of the husband of their young lady. Walters stand behind him, petrllled by bis abrupt and nervous ri lug Into immo vable statues, holding glasses and bottles of champagne. They know their bust ness, do these attentive myimidons, and will listen wjth the most embarrassing silence. Hut even when the bridegroom has made ins speech his misery is not over. When the bride retires to change her dress, all the gentlemen clusterabout him and renew their congratulations, made clamorous by the inspiring pre ence of champagne. Then he has to say good-bye. The bride’s little brother seta up a howl at the loss of his sister, which no promise of pantomimes at Christmas, and boxes uf conjuring implements can silence. The mothpr-in-law is desolated ; she lias been crying ever since live in the morning, and faints in the arms of a symnathetic old triend, who entreats her to be calm, in her Christian name, when the bride gives her a farewell kiss. The father wipes his eyes with the napkin which he lias curried with him from the breakfast-table. Amid misery and con matututions the bridegroom departs—the most miserable of the party, the least of all to be congratulated. No wonder the contemplation of this kind -'I thing sobers a man. No wonder an element of'sadness and dodged ness pervades the actions and language of him whose marriage duv has been fixed. He is sobereil by contemplated conllngen ~cTes. Fiankly, we pity the man who is going to b-i married. We cannot exten . the same compassion to young ladies. — They can stand any amount of loirs, of r-crutlny, of hysterics, of speeches and the waving of fans. J3ut man, though not born to he single, was not born to cn Jure the evils that allend Lire ceremony of gelling u partner. He has to thank soci ety for thor'C evils. Yet we shrewdly snr-pect a good many more men will avenge themselves upon society by not getting married at all, than is dreamed of mine philosophy of those who imagine that going to be mairied is one of the most ecstatic of imaginable conditions of oeing. A. T. STEWART. A Now York correspondent of the Ger mantown Chronicle writes respecting Mr. Stewart as follows: The reputation which Mr. Stewart en joys does not represent him as over-go nial. His pcrsoncllc is cold, stern and forbidding. lUs sweetest tones are harsh ; his cordiality is freezing. For all the warmth there is about him, he might have been born in the Aivtb* Ocean, and sent to the North Pole to linisli off his education. Ho is disliked and fear, dby Ins employees, mule and female. His clerks tremble at his approach. When bespeaks, the one lie speaks to dreads that he is going to lose his situation. The system of tines used in ins store is the most minute and elaborate in New York. New comers sometimes lose nil their first month’s su'aries in the puvmcnt of theve fines. There are fines for silling, fines for eating on the premises, fines for be ing five minutes late, fines for misdirect ing packages, fines for mistakes in giv ing or receiving change fines for being absent from one’s post an instant lon or limn (he stipulated time, tines for carry ing matches about Ihe person, &c. liven the numerous small hoys emplo od there mv mthlet-sly subject to this system dl fines. Well-to-do merchants, however, are so anxious that their sons should have tile advantage of the Stewait disci pline, that 1 hey are oflen notonly willing that their hoys should work foratime for inching, but they will even pay Mr. Stewart for the advantage supposed to be derived. The millionaire is a tyrant to those be neath him. fjome time ago, the girls and young women in t'isemploy trembled lest they should ho compelled to yield lo some diviuicd mandate of his in regard to their mode of wearing the hair, ami regulating the length ol their garments. The po lenaie, however, lias apparently thought heller of whatever designs he may have entertained, and no particular uniform nor Unisonal arrangement distinguishes the employ eesat Stewart’s from those any where else. Ninety-nine nut of every hundred poor p'e desiring to imve an intoniew with Mr. Stewart will, in vain, attempt to gratify that wish. Some princes are more accessible than is this prineo of Now York meichants. It is at his o(Nce down town that Mr - Stewart is most beset, and where the greatest rigor obtains.— Shut in his snug sanctum up stairs, tlie orohanls of llcsperu- were not guarded -liy more vigilant dragons, Upon your inquiring for Mr. Stewart.an exceedingly civil spo’<en, but peremptory official do mauds your bn-une-ss. If it is private business, join are informed that Mr- Slewart lias no private business, if it is not p'ivale business, the civil spoken hut peremptory essays tose'tle It for yon. If, however, you are so lortunate >-s to give such a reply us shall satisfy him, ho al lows yon to pass; but lids by no means ensures you the interview. At the lop of the tiist llight of steps another dragoon encounters you, and. unless you have heiculean “ cheek,” tins one is not to he slain or worsted. Pos-ihly vou may in duce him.to lake your name, ami stale your business to the great A. T. S. Up on being informed of them, the great A. T. S- tires upon you a momentary Icy i-‘ok from behind partition. If he is favorably impressed, lie grants yon a short, sententious interview, maUjugyou leed all tile lime as uncomfortable us pos sible, ami as though you were intruding upon a. man to whom every moment was an object. If the hare sight of you dis gusts him —as it very probably wi'l, (tor give me, rentier if it is a lady who roads this,) he will give with Ids shoulder (which is the original cold one,) that un answerable shrug that comes like a blast Iron) Boreas. In brief, Mr. Stewart’s soul is in his business. His spirit is wrapped up in greenbacks, and nothing to him is worth so much us the almighty dollar. The man who gained the whole world and 10-t his own soul Is Ids spirit brother. At his establishment it is hardly too much to say that everything is to be had that money wilt purchase. He is a fair npm to deal with ; as a rule,' you may be sure ol vetting the worth of your money ; hut you may lie equally sure lie will get ihe worth of what he sells you. He nev er sticks on prices, and sells an inferior article. For every department of dress l t H lias a special dependent in his store, each of which aims at perfection. Capitalists in all hrauchesof commerce, tr>de, manufacture, art, are like so many keys of-an instrument of which Mr. Stew art is master. He is more than equal to the business pressing up'-n him. as, in deed, any one must he to maintain suc cess. He is as full of energy as ii\ v liis tirstyouth, and the speed and boldness witli winch Ids plana are executed, are characterized by the same individuality, widcli, in Ids younger >c irs, would have made him appear to his friends as the' most obstinate and reckless of men. For any harmless exercise of these gifts which make a man lo become a million uiru, .\ir* rftewurt is, of comae, to bo ad mired. Hut one never hours of his name in ilie cause of charily hie rcpuiat'ou is not suiTouii 'ed with an atmosphere of ulleciion; and his memory will scarcely be embalmed in-dlgnlty and tenderness of tears. Kverytliing he has touched he has turned into gold ; but there are scores of noble men and women, who, having made themselves as purleot as they are capable of becoming, survey him from their happy poverty with commisera tion, and view the isolation of his soul as Male better than starvation amid splen dor. Without deer ladies wo should be come a stag-nation* THE Wit t'S KISS. The funeral services woto ended, and as the voice of prayer ceased, lea r a were h islily wined from wet cheeks, and long drawn sighs relieved suppressed and cho king solw, us the “ mourners prepared to lake leave of the corpse.” It was an old man who lay here, robed for the grave. M »re than three score years had whitened those locks, and fur lowed that brow, ami made those stilT limbs weary of life’s journey, and the more willing talledown and rest where weariness is no longer a burden. The aged have but few to weep lor them when they die. The moat of those who would have mourned their loss have gone to the grave before them; harps that would have sighed sail harmonies are shattered ami gone; and the few tiiat remain are looking cradlewurd rather than to life’s closing goal; ar»* bound to, und living in the generation rising, more than the gen eration departing. Youth ami beauty have many admirers when living—how many mourners when dying; ami many tearful ones bend over their outlined elay—many sad hearts fol low in their funeral train. But ago lias few admirers, few mourners. , Tins was an old man, and tln» circle of mourners was small—two children, who had tlvmselves passed the mi.ldle of life, ami who had children of their own to cure for and he cared lor by them. Be sides these, and a few mends who had seen and visited him while he was sick, and possibly had known him fur a few years, there were none others to shed a tear, except his old wife. And of iln small company, the old wife seemed in bo the only hear) mourner. It is respect ful for his Inends to be sad a few mo ments, till the service is performed and the hearse out of sight. It is very profi table and suitable (or children who have outgrown the fervency und afiection of youth to shed tears when an aged parent says farewell, and lies down to quiet slumber. Some regrets, some reconcilia tions uf the past, some transitory griefs, and the pangs are over. Not always so. Hut often how little true genuine heart sorrow there is. Tin* old wife arose with difficulty from her'•eat, and went to the collin to look her last look—to lake her last farewell. — Through the fast falling tears she gazed long and fondly down into the pule, un conscious f ice. What did she see there ? Olliers saw nothing but the rigid feat ures of the dead ; she saw more! In eve ry wrinkle of that brow she read ihe his tory of years. From youth to manhood, from manhood to old age ; in joy and sor row, in sickness and ealth— it was jll there; wh»n those children who ha«i not quite outgrown the sympathies of child hood were Infants lying on h r bosom, and every year since then —there it was ! To others, those dull, mute monitors were nnmtelltgih e; to her they were [he alphabet of her heart, familiar as house hold words. And then the future? “What will become of me? What shall Ido now ?" She did not say so, she did not say any thing, hut she felt it. The prospect of the old wife is clouded. The home circle is broken, never to be re-united ; the vis ion of the hearthst' ne is scattered forev er. Up to that hour there was u home to which the heart always turned with fond ness. But the magic is sonde ed the keystone of that sacred arch is fallen, and now home is nowhere this side of heav en. What, children ) be a pensioner up on their kindness, .where she may be more of a burden than a blessing ; so, at least, she thinks. Or, shall she gather up tho scattered fragments of that bro ken arch, ami make them her temple mid her shrine ; sit down in her shrill solitude beside its expiring fires, and die*-* \V‘uit shall she do now ? They gently crowded her away from tlie dead, and the undertaker eame fo’- wurd with the collin lid in his hand.' It is all right and ptoper —of course —it must f>e done; but to the heart mourner it brings a kind of shudder—a thrill of ag ony. The undertaker Blood for a moment with a decent propriety, not wishing lo manifest rude haste, hut evidently desir ous of being as expeditious as poss.hie.— Justus he was about to close the collin, die old wife turned back. and. stooping down, imprinted one long fast kiss upon the cold iipsof her dead husband, then staggered to her seat, buried her face in her hands, and tho closing collin hid him from her sight forever! That kNs ! Fond token of affection, and of sorrow, and memory, and fare well! I have seen many kiss their dead —many such seals of love upon cold lips but never did I see one so purely sad, so simply heart-touching and hopeless as that! Or, if it had hope, it was that which looks beyond colllos and charnel hmis 's, and damp, dark tombs, to the joys of the home above. Would you kiss the cold cheek of infancy ; there is poet ry ; it is beauty bushed ; there is romance there, for the faded {lower is slill beauti ful ! In childhood the heart yields to the stroke of sorrow; but recoils again with elastic faith, buoyant with hope. But here was no beauty, no poetry, no ro mance. The heart "of the old wife uas like the weary swimmer, whose strength lias often raised him above the stormy waves, but now exhausted, sinks amidst the surges. Why should the old love the old or kiss the old, unloving lips? Ah! why shouldn't they? Hoes affection grow old? Hoes the true heart feel infirmity of years? Docs it grow old when tlie step becomes unsteady, and the hand hangs down ? Who shall say that the heart of the old wife was not as young and warm as in those early and brighter days when he wooed and won her? The temple of her earthly hopes hud, fallen, and what was there left for her hut to sit down in des pondency, among the lonely ruins, and weep ami die? Or, in the-pint of better hope, await the dawning of another day. wlien a hand’dlvine shall gather the sa cred dust, and rebuild for immortality its broken walls. May the old wife’s kiss, thutlinked the living . with the dead, be the token of a holier life that shall bind their spirit* in the better land, where tears are wiped from all faces and the days of their mournin&aro ended!

To-day tlie remains of Mrs. Surratt were buried ibe third, and H is honed, the last time. Yesterday afternoon, as stated, her body was taken up from the grave in the storeroom of one of tlie ar senal buildings, which also contains the remains of Payne, Atzerodt, Harold, Wiry, and Booth. Tho body was disin terred in accordance with a permit grant ed by iho President to Father Walter, pastor of St- Patrick’s church, giving the relatives of Mrs. Surratt tho privilege of removing her remains from tlie Arsenal building to a eemelery. Tlie remains were taken t) Mount Oliver Cemetery, about two miles Northeast of Washing ton, and placed in a vault, At half past 1 o’clock this afternoon Miss Annie fciur ratt, Mias Honoru Fitzpatrick and a few of tlie relatives and friends of 1 lie deceas ed, about twenty in number, assembled at the residence of Father Walter, where they took carriages and proceeded to Mount Oliver Cemetery. The ron ulus had been transferred fr* m tlie rough pine box in which they won l deposited by government authorities and placed in a walnut collin which was enclosed in a pine box- The remains were in a rather g tod slate of preservation, the dress, gal id's and other articles of apparel t-eing entirely whole. Tho workmen lilted the body from the box on three spades and laid it in the collin entire, with the ex ception of the head, which hud become disconnected from the body. When re moved to tlie bui dlng, beneath Hie body was found a common bottle containing a piece of parchment on which was writ ten, “ Mrs. M. E. Surratt.” This had been enclosed with the body bv the mili tary authorities, in order that tlie remains might be identified alter the lapse of years, in case tlie grave should not be opened before lime had mouldered its contents Into dust. When the carriages had arrived the small circle of friends re paired to the llttlechapel in the cemetery where stood the collin. Rev.

Miss Surratt was deeply aflecied through all the aero monies attending the reburial, but her grief was greatly mitigated hy the knowl edge that the remains of her loved moth er were at lust redeemed from (heir hith erto ignominious surroundings and de posited iti their last abode with the rites of Christian burial.

I do not know whether there was a bed or not—l didn't notice. However, I was glad I got that room, for I stayed there an hour and took notes of an Instructive conver sation wh'ch was going on in an adjoin ing apartment.

It was In the great election canvass when Lincoln ran for the first lime. Two-thirds of the Deacon’s soul were in religion and one-third was in politics—Lincoln man. 1 never was a scoffer at religion in my life but he half behoved I was. Well, there was to bo a political pow-wow in the village church where ho lived,on uThursday.ujght.and he was to preside.. I never thought any thing about the matter, but Williams halted me one afternoon, offered mo a seat in Ida buggy, and away we started, ft was Wednesday—curse the almanac— but we never thought of it. Going into town, some devilish instinct put it into my head that h would help my case along if I maichcd into church with a rail on my shoulder, seeing that tho deacon and the girl would both bo there. So I got a rail, and we came into town shouting ami making a grand to-do generally. As sve went by the church windows, i caught a glimpse of her bonnet and plenty of oih or bonnets, and I was happy. I shoul dered my rail and marched in. Tho houseful of men and women were all quiet, and the old deacon was standing up in the altarsaying something. Splen did. I went a blooming up the aisle with my rail swinging my hat and whooping— “ Hno-ray h>r old A be— hoo-ray for the Illinois raii spjhler.” But never a yelp out of that audience, I quit right in my tracks. The deacon said : “Sir, we are engaged in addressing tin* Throne of Grace. This unseemly exhi bition is ill-fitted to Hie solemnity of a prayer-meeting.” I never felt s<* siek in my life, John.— 1 never fell so much like taking a walk Ami don't you know, as I stood up there before that congregation, I’d have given a million of dollars for somebody to take that rail out for me. Hut no, I had to sneak out with it myself. I threw it down, ami went to where there was a board fence, and practiced climbing back ward and forward through a knot-hole forasmuch as an hour. But my goose was cooked ; it was all up between meuud that lamily. Scathing—A Woman’s Views on Fashion* able Immodesty. Mrs. 11.
