RUSSIAN MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

Marriage obssrvances differ in outward
form with the nations, and perhaps our own
whimsicality In the honeymoon, which in
tsrmediate period is not openly celebrated
by the Russians. who entirely abjure this
sentimental custom. Their weddings gen.
orally take place toward evening. During
the ceremony the bride and bridegroom
hold lighted taper in their hands in front
of small altar, placed in the centre of the
church. Rings are placed on their fin
gers, and their hands being joined, they
are led three times around the altar. Two
highly-ornamented gilt crowns are placed
on their heads, and held over them by the
groomsmen during part of the services.
They drink wire out of cup three times.
and kissing one another, the ceremony is
finished. The married couple then make
tour of the church, crossing themselves
at, and saluting, each sanity Icon on the
way. Immediately after the ceremony din
ner commences at the house of the brides
father At marriage feast lighted can
dies are placed in every position and corner
ressibls. No other wine but champagne
should be drunk, and the quantity cos-
sumed of this beverage is remarkable.
The dinner is followed by ball, and the
fsasting is usually kept up for twenty four
hours. The married couple spend the first
few days of their welded life with the
brides father. After the marriage the
bride and bridegroom must call upon every
one Of their relations, friends and aoquaint-
ances, and after this ceremony is finished
they sink back to their ordinary life.

Wine and beer bibbing is a uni
versal habit in France, Germany,
Switzerland and Belgium. Men wo-
men, aud children, all drink, and
some of them drink nearly all the
while. In France wine is the bev-
erage Of herieh and the poor, and
l Dc net think it is an exaggeration
10 say that the French drink more
wine than water. Americans. no
matter what mag have been their
prejudices and pledges, as q usual
thing, take to wine and beer drink
ing DIS soon as they have been a
month in Europe. 1t is said that The
waters CT many European cities, and
especially Of Paris, is not good, and
our couatrFmen and eountrywomen
give this a. an excuse for their fell
irom a~bsticeace. But dosnot think
there Is anything the matter with the
water in Par.s. 1t is properly clean
sweet and not very warm even 10 the
hottest weather
