THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS

DAGMAR AND THE CZAREWITCH.
A special correspondent of a contemporary, in
drvciiliing this imposing ceremony, mentions a very
curious custom, evidently derived from a Jewish
origin, which occure in the Russo-Greek ritual. A
goldea ladle containing wine—called "the common
ono ” was brought and- the 'Metropolitan handing it
alternately to the bride and bridegroom, Hwy sipped
it each three times- in symbolical allusion to the
marriage in Cana. Now came the ceremony before
which the marriage might have been tlienoked ; after
which it was indiesoluble. Taking the Igridegroom
and the bride by the band, be turned them round
three time., in mystical alluslon to the Holy Trinit,
the choir singing
Exult 0 lodah, f, is virgin 1,1 conc,ived and bronght
tonna non Emmanuel, li-d and NUM, the Etst in Him Name :
Him ..o we magnify, tool out sae Virgin blessed.:
Then the marriage we. oomplete ; tint not ito the
ceremony, The Metroiolitan now took off the bride-
groom's crown, saying--
lie u emitted, 0 bridegroom, like unto Abraham, and
bl.••=eti lilt, unto bean, and multiplied like unto Jacob.
Walk in pence, and do all according to the commandments
of Old.

!laving removed the crown and placed it on the
malver again, he turned to the 'Ride and, taking off the
crown, amid:—

And thou, 0 bride, he thou exulted, Me unto Sarah, and
repece bite -unto Itt:hecea, and multiply Ilk. net° Itschel ;
rtjolce with thy Lusttand, end keep the Nays of the law;
and the ()Wising of God be with Ore.
Two shoat prayers were then said, and at the direr..
tion of the Metropolitan the liusband and tho
kissed each other three times, and then the augusl.
bridegroom and bride proceeded jowards the EssiPtror
and respectfully bowed to hi. Iniperial Majesty, who
most tenderly kimed them both, Hand in hand they
then went to the Emprem and deeply bowed to her '
Imperial Majefsty, who united them in an 'ardent
embrace; wine tears dropped from her eye, but three
were tears of by.
