Marriage Etiauette.


| Sailing across the vast southern ocean,
we find the most serious compact into
which the human race enters, regarded
as most important affair. In Ceylon a
whole family goes in a body to ask a wo-
man IN marrIage-the more numerous
the family the greater the title he has for
her. Ifsuch custom prevailed in Amer
lea, the "Smiths' would be the most ar
bltary and successful wooers in the land
But happily, such is not the case. In
Ceylon marriages are contracted by the
right thumbs of the man and woman be-
ing put together, the priest throwing a
little water over them, and pronouncing
the words used for the occasion. As soon
as the consent of the parties is obtained,
magician is consulted to fix the day and
hour; and at this hour the two families
meet at the house of the young woman,
where feast is prepared. The magician
consults his book, and holds clepsydra,
or water-clock in his hand; the instant
the lucky moment arrives, the married
couple are covered with piece of cloth;
their right hands are Joined, filtered wa
ter is then thrown over them, a cup con-
tanning cocoa. milk is passed several times
over their heads, and thus the ceremony
ends.
The ceremonies among the Hottonto:s
are very peculiar. When matters are
adjusted among the old people, the young
couple are shut up in room by them
selves, where they pass the night in a
struggle for superiority. If the parties
agree, the marriage is completed by a
ceremoney not les singular. Men and
women squat on the ground in different
circles-the bridegroom in one and the
bride in the other; the suri, or master Of
the religiouos ceremonies, then streams
through tube perfumed oil on to the
husband, who rubs it eagerly into the fur
rows of the fat..with which he is covered.
The bride has the same treatment,
In kamschatka, young man, after ma
king proposals, enters into the service of
his intended father-in-law; aud if he prove
agreeable he is admitted to the trial of the
touch. The young woman is swaddled
up in leather thongs, and is put under the
guard of some old women, the suitor
watches every opportunity of a siackened
vigilance 10 salute her. The girl must
resist, in appearance, at least, and there
fore cries out to summon her guards, who
fall with fury upon the loVer-tear his
hair, scratch his face, and act in violent
opposition. The atteEaps Of the lover
are sometimes unsuccessful for months,
but the moment the touch is achieved, the
bride testifes ber satisfaction by prOnoun-
cling mi, MI" with a soft and loving
voice. This ceremony was also usual in
Lithuania.

Two ways TO tell a Story.

We hope there are readers who have
had practical evidences that little kind
ness, however homeopathic the dose may
be, goes five times as far towards making
those aroundyo happy, as cargoes of sour
answers or surly rebukes. There are two
very distinct ways OF telling the same
story. Some men will make hosts of
| friends, while others will find ii impossi-
bic to discover one. Bluntness and frank
ness may do very well at times, but as a
general thing it is prudent to study effects
as well as causes. Jones may say 10
Smith:
Smith, are you going to pay that note
to-day!'
No l shan't: don't suit me, and shan't
do it!'
Then by thuuder I'll see if you don't!'
says enraged Jones. Alawyergets A a case
squabble follows, and-they both pay
dearly for lesson In civility. How diff
ferent Brown would fix it.
Smith what is the state of your hnan-
ces this morning, do you feel as though
you could let me have that fifty dollars
. to-day'
well, no can't says Smith, I'm very
short; can't you wait on me a few days,
1t would be an accommodations
'WeIl,' says Brown, .let it stand; do
something for me as soon as you can, viii
you, Smith,
Certainly will They part-friends
and brothers.
Go away with that noisep says some
bully-headed fellow to the poor itinerant
organist and his monkey. The poor fel-
low goes away, mortified and soured a.
gainst his species; how different the good
heart, the peace maker does it.
MY man, your music is pleasant, but it
disturbs US now; there are a few pennies,
play for some others further on your way.
The organist goes along smiling at the man
who has ordered him off. There is five
times the force in kind words and gener-
osity, than there is in morose sulkiness and
arbitrary measures. We cannot live long
or happy among our species. without the
aid of kindness and generosity 1t is not
necessary to knock man down to con-
vince him he is in error, or hold knife
at his breast to assure him his life is In
your power. Politeness and civility are
rare Jewels; they render two-fold good.
blessing him that giveth and him that re-
ceiveth. Ii is quite astonishing, when
we calculate the entire safety and splen-
did percentage it yields-that so few invest
in that capitol stock-good humor and
kindness.
