MISCELLANEOUS READING.
A CURIOUS SANDMAN USAGE


Towards the end Of March. or the begin
ming Of April. it is the custom for young men
and women to agree together to ill the rela-
ton of godfathers and godmotbers of St.
John, compare c0mare-suoh is the phrase
for the ensuing year. At the end Of May,
the proposed consare. having procured q seq.
ment of the bark Of a cork tree, fashions it
in the shape OF a vase, and fills il with rich
lignt mould in hich are planted some grains
Ut barley or wheat. The vase being placed
10 the sunshine, we'll wstered and carefully
tended, the seed soon terminates, blades
spring up, and, making rapid growth in
the course of twenty-on days-that is, be-
fore the eve Of ST. Johu-the vase is filled
by spreading and vigorous plant Of young
corn. 1t then receives the name OF He1pies,
or, more commonly, of Su Nenncre, from
Sarde word, which possibly has the same
Specification as the Pteaisian name Of gar
den; similar vases beipg called, IN ancient
times, the garden of Adonis." On the eve
Of ST. John the cereal vase, ornamented With
ribbons, is exposed on q balcony, decorated
with garlands and flags. Formerly, also,
little image in female attire. or phallic en-
blems moulded in clay, such as we're exhibit
ed in the feasts OF Hermes. were placed
among the blades Of corn; but these repre-
sentatiOns have been 30 severely denounced
by the Church, that they are fallen into dls-
use. The young men flock in crowds to wit
ness the spectacle and attend tho maidens
who come out to grace the feast.
A great fire is lie on the piazzi. round which
they leap and gambol, the couple who have
agreed to be ST. Johns compare completing
the ceremony 10 this manner: The man is
placed on one side Of the fire, the woman on
the other, each holding opposite ends OF
stick extended over the burning embers,
which they pass rapidly backward and for
ward. This is repeated three times, 80 that
the hand of each party passes thrice through
the flames The union being thus sealed, the
comparatico, or spiritual alliance, is copsid-
cred perfect. After that, the music sir kes
up, and the festival is concluded BY dances,
prolonged to late hour o! the night , In
some places the couple 20 in procession, at
tended by gay company Of youths and dam
sells, all in holiday dresses, to some country
church. Arrived there, they dash the vase
of Hermes against the door, so that it falls in
pieces. The company then seat themselves
iu circle on the grass, and feast on eggs
tried with berbs, while gay tunes are played
on the Ioneddd.
