"MARR1AaE FACILITIES IN ENGLAND ONE
HUNDRED YEARS Aao.-The law OF marriage
had hitherto been 80 loose, that all kinds of hur-
ried and clandestne unions could be formed all
over England with more facility than they are
now at Gretna Green. No notice or publication
of banns was required, no license was looked for,
and any parson might perform the ceremony, at
any time or in any place, without consent OF pa.
rents or any other preliminary conditions; and
the worst OF it was, that the most needy OF tile
clergy wonld often forward the most dlsgraceiul
marriage, for the sake of the patry fee. The
great temple of the pseudo Hymen was the Fleet
Prison Parsons confined for debt, aud scoun-
drels fu6dled with gin and tobacco, wodld mar
ry in three minutes, and for the small charge OF
two shillings, any couple that presented them
selves.
In walking along the street in my youth, says
Pennapt, .on the side next to this prison, have
often been tempted with the question, "Sir, will
you please to walk in and be married e. Along
this most lawless space was hung ND the frequent
sign of q male and female hand conjoined, with
marriages performed withn," written under
meath. A dirty fellow invited you in. The par.
sou was seen walking before his shop; asqualld
figure, clad in q tattered plaid night gown, with
fiery face, and ready TO couple you for a dram
of gin or q roll of tobacco
To put stop to these crying abuses bill was
prepared by the judges, under the auspices of
Lord Chancellor Hardwicke, and brought into
the upper House. 1t provided that all marriages
should hencetorward take place either by bans
published Oh three successive Sundays, or by Ii
censes granted in regular manner; and that
all other marriages should be void, and the par
son that solemnized any such, should be trans
ported seven years.-Knighfs Pictorial History
Of ENGLAND.

TIE KENTUCKY HORSE TAMER.-The "origi,
naln Kentucky horse tanner, DIR. Denton Ofutt,
is row in England, with the serious intention OF
proving to the United Kingdom that Rarey is an
impostor, who stole and published his great Sc
cret of horse tanning. In the meantime, Rarey
keeps ahead of the Kentuckian, and is astonlsh
ing the subjects of the Gar by his horse tanning
operations. Ofutt has addressed a letter to the
"Spirt of the Times" headed
