AMUSING MATRIMONIAL CUSTOM
The following curious custom of the
HISTORIAN Christians, as related by the
Rev. DIR. Arthur Boglan, is commended
to the serious attention of the young
gentlemen and young ladies of our conn
try who propose to commit matrimony.
After the marriage ceremony has been
performed, the wedding party is taken
in wagons from the church to the house
of the bridegroom's parents. When the
second wagon, in which the bride is
seated alone, reaches the gate opening
into the yard in which the house is stu
ated, it is halted, and the bridegroom's
mother comes to meet it with a baby
and three suits of baby clothes in her
arms; she throws the child and the
clothes into the arms of the bride, who
is required to undress and dress the
baby three times in the presence of her
mother-in-law, who watches every move
ment as only Il mother in law can watch
a daughter-iu-law. If the newly made
bride does not perform the operation to
the satisfaction of hereseyere judge, she
is considered unfit for her new position,
the wagon is turned around and she is
taken back home for further instruction,
and the poor bride groom is compelled
to live in single blessedness until his
wife is educated up to the proper STAN
dard.

THE SEVENS.-We present below the
workings of the Seceas, and would say
to our radical adversaries, be not too
severe on your seven men who preferred
to vote according to law, testimony and
consciene, to being members of the rad
icai party. Read this list:
This number is frequently used in the
Bible. On the eth day God ended his
work, the 9TH month Noah's ark touched
the ground, and in days dove was
sent out.
( Abraham pleaded times for Sodom,
Jacob served years for RACIAL, mourn
ed z days for Joseph, and was pursued
q days journey by Laban.
A plenty for years, and a famine of
z years was foretold in Pharioh's dream
by Z fat and lean beasts, and z ears of
full and ears of blasted corn.
On the 9TH day of the 7th month the
childred of Israel tasted z days and re-
manned days in tents. Every seven
years the bondmen were free, and the
law was read to the people.
In the destruction of Jericho, priests
bore trumpets days; on the 7th day
they sounded the walls times; and at
the end OF the 9TH round the walls fell.
Solomon was z years building the
temple. and feasted days at it's dedica-
ton. In the tabernacle were seven
lamps, and the gold candlestiek had z
branches. Naman washed times in
Jordan.
Jobs friends sat with him days and
z nights, and offered bullocks and z
rams as an atonement.
In the Revelations we read of can
dlesticks, 7sstars, trumpets, plaques,
q thunders, wells, angels and z
headed monster.
The reign of the French Jacobins was
about z years.
The reign of the Jacobins of America
is about to end in the 7th year.
Seven radicals were honest enough to
vote according to law, evidence and
justice on the late impeachment case.
These seven may save our country
from disgrace and the Constitution from
entire destruction. All honor to the
seven-[[ Peoria, (IH.,) Democrat

CARA excites our wonder, and we stand
amazed at the power and greatness of
God there, as he pours it from the hol-
low of His hand; but one Niagara is
enough for the continent or the world,
while the same world requires thousands
of silver fountains and gently flowing
rivulets that water every farm and mea-
dow, and every garden, and shall flow
on every day and night with their gen.
tie, quiet beauty. So with the act of
our lives. 1t is not by great deeds, like
those of the martyrs, good is to be done,
but by the daily and quiet virtues of life,
the Christian temper, the good qualities
of relatives and friends
