A Tangler Bride.

Weddings IN Tangier, says Apple

make night hideous with their noise.
All except the very poorest are accom-
panied with gun firing and music.
When these luxuries are beyond the
means of the families, the women
shrek ten times more to make up for
the deficiency. This is a cheap noise.
and noise appears to be the great
desideratnm at these celebrations. No
religious ceremony takes place, as far
as | could ascertain, in connection with
marriages in Morocco, beyond the
bridegroom saying a certain number
OF prayers, in one of the mosques, pre-
vlously. The fattening of the bride is
the only preparation on her part
for entrance into the "holy state. " For
this purpose, from the time of he be-
trothal, she is confined TO one room.
not permitted To take the least exercise,
and compelled to swallow large
quantities of kesksoo every day. This
system, pursued steadily for few
weeks, brings her into a condition of
what is considered in Morocco becom-
ing obesity. Ihave heard of an intend
ed bride SO fat that she was unable to
stoop to pick up her handkerchief
when she dropped it, and who could
with difficulty move across the room
without assistance Another curious
custom observed ON these oc
casions is, that the bride is
not permitted 70 leave her bed for
eight days alter her marriage; nor,
though she is visited all this time by
all her married female relations and
friends, may she open her eyes or
speak. On the eighth day she gets ont
of her bed for the first time; her sas h

always appeared in full dress); she
opens her eyes, speaks, and walks
round her house. The occasion is

Love.

True love is but a humble, low-born thing.
And hath its food served up in earthenware

Through the eycry-dayness of this work-day
world,
Barring its tender feet to every roughness.

From Beauty's law of plainness and content

Can warm carth's poorest hOvei TO a home:
Which. when our autumn cometh, as IL must
Aud life in the chill wind shivers, bare and
lea1ess,

In bleak November, and with thankful heart
Smile ON it's ample stores of garnered fruit,
Az full Of sunshine 10 our aged eyes
AS when il nursed the blossoms Of our spring
Such is true love, which steals into the heart
With feet as silent as the lightsome dawn,
That kisses smooth the rough brows Of the
dark,
Aud hath its will through blissfui gentlenoss--
Not like rocket, which, with savage glare,
Whirrs suddenly up, then bursts aud leaves
the night
Painfully quiyering on the dazed eyes;
A love that gives and takes, that seeketh
faults,
Not with the haw-seeking eyes like a needle
points,
But, loving kindly, ever looks them down,
WITH the o'ercoming faith of meek forgive.

Value of English Racing Stock.

The sale of the stud of Sir Joseph
Hawley, the most successful of turtles,
has brought e25,575. The famous
stallion Rosicruciqn was bought by Mr..
Henry Chaplin for e6, 200. Mr.. Chaplin
has, by common report not increased
his fortune by his racing experiences,
but nevertheless his ardor apparently
knows no ahatment. He is country
gentleman of an old family seated at
Blakenev, in Lincolnshire, where it
has long been of high consideration.
The founder OF the family was an al
derman of the city of London in the
time of Charles l. Mr.. Chaplin was some
years ago engaged to the present cele-
brated MarchiOness of Hastings. then
Lady Florence Paget, but few days
before the marriage was to have taken
place, she was clandestinely united to
Lord Hastings, who prematurely ended
a miserable career in 1868. In 1870 she
married Sir George Chetwynd, but has
no children by either husband. Mr.
Chaplin, who is thirty.three, remains
unmarried. He is member of Parlia-
ment for Lincolnshire, and has once or
twice spoken very effectively. He has
two brothers in business, OF whom one
spent the greater part of the last three
years IN New York. His only sister is
wife Of Lord Folkestone, eldest son of
the Earl of Radnor.
