Swedish Marriage.

When young girl is to be married in
Sweden, she dresses herself in all her
bIidal garments, and places herself in the
middle Of the parlor, standing. A circle
Of bright lights are placed about her, and
the groomsmen also coming to the room,
bearing each chandelier. The door and
windows are then thrown open every
one who chooses can come IN and see and
cri'icise the bride as they please. Impu-
dent fellows will walk about her, and
besides criticising her appearance, which
they do within hearing distance, they
will use such expressions as, sWel, so
and so is to be married at last-she has
been long enough about it, pity the man
who marries her, &c Females, too,
will appear about her in masks, and make
still more insulting and cutting remarks.
After standing thus for an hour and
half, the ordeal is ended, the throng is
dispersed, and the wedding takes place in
the presence of the immediate friends of
the parties. After a dinner party, the
guests approach the hostess, who stands
in the middle of the room, and each re-
turns thanks. This beautiful custom pre-
walls even among the simple peasant
families. After the meal is over, the chill
dren approach their mother, and taking
her by he hand, say Thank you ma Fam. ;
The guests ifany there be, merely say,
