The Marriage Ring.

l he ring, 1t Is well Known, Is OF
great antiquity, and it has been adopt
ed rs a symbol in almost every age,
and almost by every nation. The
practice of marrying with the ring
was, we believe, first adopted by the
Greeks; the bride was modestlv veil
ed. and after the nuptiai benediction
was crowned with flowers. The ring,
symbolic of eternity, having no ter
mination, was given and received us
a token OF everlasting love. Among
the Romans. the gift OF a ring was a
mark OF liberation from slavery
Married people may best explain
whether il is so among the lnoderns.
1t was a pledge of eternal contract
among the Persians and Egyptians,
and, in the early ages of the world,
denoted authority and government,
which We're communicated symbolic
ally, by the delivery OF ring to the
person on whom they We're meant to
be conferred. This was the case with
Pharaoh when he committed the gov
eminent OF Egypt to Joseph. In
conformity with the ancient usage,
the Christian Church afterwards
adopted the ceremony OF the ring IN
marriage, as a symbol of authority
which the husband gave the wife over
his household and over the earthly
goods with which whicl. he endowed
her.
