the greater part consisted at pesyen ~
psalms chanted in the C,,ptic isngua9o
by tue choristers, and quite uniotelllgible
to any one present, unless Il were the PA-
triarch himself. But Was glad u OBJ
serve that there was good deal OF Scrip
ture read, and that ell Of IL was in Ara
bic, snd, consequently, could be followed
by the audience. A portion of the Arst
chapter of st. Johns Gospel was read by
priest, and part Of the eth chapter OF
Ephesisns, at the Patrisrch1 request, by
Mr.. NJ. Shskoor. After nearly an hour
If reading end chanting. the bride WA
led in by her uncle aud an attendant
woman, who was wrapped In the rel
shawl. She Was placed on the divan be-
side the bridegroom, and then Q priest
6rst threw an embroidered veil or mantle
over the shoulders of the two, % q t.
shelter both together, and then placed
two pastsbOard gilt crowns on their heads.
Then he held book over them, and read
an exhortstion Ia Arabic; sitter which he
laid hand on the head Of each, end gem
tly knocked them together, which opera
ton could not he performed without
general smile. Then two rings were pro-
duced, the hands joined under the brides
veil, and the rings put on BY the priest.
All this time the pair sat quite psssive--
not word spoken by either; snd, After
some more prayers read in Arabic, and
some Cnpi 10 chanting, the whole was COZ
cluded, and the bride, still in her blind.
fold condition, was marched OF by her
attendants t, the women : room t. receive
the visits of her female acquaintance;
while the husband went up to salute the
Patriarch, kissing . small cross he hsId
in his hand, and, in return, having his
bridal mantle unfastened by the great man.
After all was over, Mr.. Shakoor asked AMI
obtsiued permission for the brides I'D
to sing one Of their hymnA,
which they did very nicely, led BY their
excellent teacher. II was the first time,
probably, that the Patriarch had ever
heard Gospel hymn in his own tongue;
he expressed his delight in the warmest
terms, and actually seut next day to ask
for hymn book ~ take for himself.
