A Breton Romance.

A letter from Brittany, to the
Metropolitan, describing a fete day
to the Virgin, says "White-robed
women came and gathered at the
church. Now and then one came
wearing a vestal vail Of white,
through which her ruddy cheeks
glOwed wildly, and her not too
beautiful features appeared soft
ened. These had been appointed
by the priests as bearers Of the sa-
cred image, and no young Breton
wishes or dares to refuse this ser
vice. 1t is a high honor, and si,y-
nifes that the honored one poS-
sesses piety, chastity and all house
hold virtues. One girl, prettiel
than her companions, was notice
able for her shynesS and nervous
ness while the priest was placing
the sacred effigy upon its proper
platform for excursion about town.
Just as the four white-vailed young
women were about to lift it on their
shoulders, blue -bloused savage
looking man rushed into the sane
tuary, snatched the vail from the
head of the most delicate of the
girls, tore it, and trampled it on
the rough stones of the cathedral
floor. The girl dropped upon her
knees before the priest, and wrung
her hands in agony, but her voice
could not be heard above the raw
ings of her father, who had thus
publicly wreaked upon her the
most dreadful vengeance known to
a Breton maiden. While the wild
stir was throbbing through the
temple, a young man, doubtless
brought by a messenger, entered,
and to him the priest held
out his hand, publicly be-
trothed the frightened girl to
him, and told them to return
for marriage ats o'clock that night
1t was explained to us that in
Brittany no young woman is per.
mitted to wear q vail and assist in
bearing the image of the Virgin i

Publisher and Proprietor.

The London Quarterly Review
has an exceedingly interesting pa
per on Russian proverbs, from
which we make the following Sc
lection of the proverbial sayings of
the little known people of that vast
empire:
Fear God ; honor the Tsar.
81 To marry in May is to suffer al
way.
4 On death, as on the sun, you can
not gaze with all your eyes.
3 The more dirt, the less injury.
A mere statement is not pro-
verb.
To stir the fire with anothers
hands is no hardship.
The moon shines, but does not
warm.
The heart has ears.
Home is a full cup.
Calumny is like coal if it does
not burn, it will soil.
Sorrow kills not, but it blights.
Rust eats away iron, and care the
heart.
Sorrow comes often, but death
only once.
The poor man has a sheep-s1in
coat, but a human heart.
Behind the orphan, God himsel
bears the purse.
Poverty is not sin-but twice
as bad.
Seven nurses cost the child al
eye.
He bushes like a crab.
Set out crust for the wander
ers. t-tiit l
The sun gets up without con
sulting the squirrels clock. tl
Long are a woman's locks, bu
