Wedlock after Death.


In Bombay, recently, occurred the fol
lowing strange ceremouy--the principal:
being living woman and a dead man
of the Commsttee CASTE. The relation
that had existed between the living and
the dead was of left-hand nature.
They had lived together for many years
as man and wife, when, after suffering
from a febrie attack for only four short
days, the man died -" Agreeably TO the
peculiar custom OF their caste, it was i'm
perstive, ere the corpse should be re-
moved FOR .interment, that the sacred
rites of masrimoEy should be performed.
The sad intelligence was soon communi-
Gated TO the neighboring residents, and
the loud and vehement hammering o:
tom tons had the desired effect of collect
ing a host of friands and acquaintances,
and a huctuating stream Of passers-by TO
the spot. A goOroo, or priest, being
summoned, and the necessary prepara-
ton for the celebration of the nuptials
being hurriedly completed, the ceremony
commenced. T b e inanimate form
divine was placed against the outer wall
of the verandah Of the house, in sitting
posture, attired like bridegroom. and
the face and hands were besmeared with
LIQUID turmeric. The woman, also, was
clothed like bride, and adorned with
the usual tinsel ornaments over the face,
which, as well as the arms and the drape-
ry, were daubed over with yellow. She
sat opposite the dead, now addressing it
in light and unmeaning words--as is GUS
tomarily done on such oeeasions--and
then chewing bits of dry cocoanuts and
squirting it on the face. And thus the
ceremony proceeded and continued for
three or four hours. At length, as the
sun was nearing the horizon the nuptial
ceremony was brought to a close, and the
preparations for the interment COM
menced. The dead was divested of its
bridal attire, then bathed, and finally
laid upon a bier aud covered with "A cloth
of silk. The face was next rubbed over
with some red powder, and in the mouth
was placed some betel leaves. The
widowed bride then looked her last at the
shrouded form of him whom never more
she would behold, when, amid agonizing
sbrieks and deatning tom,omlng, the bier
was lifted up and the funeral cortege
proceeded in the direction of Sion. One
man near relative ofthe deceased, |
presume-preceeded the corpse, throw
ing, at intervals, a handful of spice to the
right and then to the left, which were
being eagerly picked up by troop of
little urchins." n ina eaf sa

MALIGNANT CHRIsrIANs.-S N Q
persons pride themselves on being blunt,
or, as they call it, "honest," but very
blunt people do little good to Others, and
get little love to themselves. The Scrip>
lures recommend genileness and kind
ness. There is nothing in all this world
Of ours half SO mean as a vindictive and
malignant disposition. Yet many Chris
tians crafty this spirit, and deceive
themselves with the idea that they are
rebuking sin. Christians should take
heed ofgetting fond Of the work of'' re-
buking." Such spiritual constables' do
a great deal Of mischief without intend

class which the aToitle terms q busy

Christians come 10 time to be regarded
as nuisances in society, constantly to be
avoided, and the little good they may do
Is thrown away. Our manner must be
