A Country Bridal in Queen Bess's.
!, : /. r 4,Eztf@ 1.ssa Time, &

Laneham, in his "Progress of Queen
Elizabeth" gives an amusing descrip-
ton of s'country bridal'' which, the viz
gin queen witnessed when. she, was at
Kenilworth, in 1876, After. the wedding
there twas set up in the castle comelY
quintane for feats5 at armes, where, in a
great company of young men and lasses,
the bridegroom had the first course sof the
quintane and broke his spear very bold
ly. ut his mare in his manager did a
little stumble, that much adoe had his
manhood to sit in his saddle. But after
the bridegroom had made his course, ran
the rest of the band, while in some or
der, but soon after. tag ard rag, cut and
long-tail; where the speciality Of the sport
was to see how some for his slackness had
a good bob with the bag, and some for
his haste to topple downright and come
tumbling to the post; some striving so
much at the first setting out that it seem
ed a question between man and beast,
whether the race should be performed
on horseback or on foot; and some put
forth with spurs, and would run his race
byas, among the thickest of the throng,
that down they came together, hand over
head. Another, while he directed hi
course to the quintane, his judgement
would carry him to mare among the
people; another would run and miss the
quintane with his staff, and hit the board
with his head" This interesting old
wedding custom continued to be observed
at marriages down to comparatively recent
times. It is possible that it may still
hold a place among the bridal rejoicings
in the principally; at any rate. Mr.. John
Strange, writing in 1906, ("Arch@ologia, -
vol. + page $685. says that "this sport is
still practiced at weddings among the
better sort Of freeholders in Brecknock-
shire;;" and then goes on to describe the
variety Of pastlmes in use there-a few
fiat planks erected on green against
which the young men tilt with long thick
sticks, ''striking the stick against the
planks with the utmost force in order to
break it where the diversion ends" va
riety of the quintane very like ''the cane
game" at which Richard Ceur de Lion
lost his temper on Sunday afternoon out
side the walls of Messina in Scicily, while
on his way to the Holy Land.

And hanging by the gate.

And see the rising moon;
And, oh! the summer air is sweet
Beneath the sky of June.
My COW is MIXED, my hens arc cooped,
And washed are cup and plate,
And so I wandered out while,
To hang upon the gate.

Besides, thought saw cap

So tell me who was with you, child,
Just hanging at the gate.

Indian DcprellatiOns.

The fair reader shudders when she thinks of
the settlers wife watching from the door of her
rude hut, the retreating form of her husband
going out to his daily labor-going out per-
haps to return not again, for before nightfall a
savage hand may have laid him low among
bright-eyed daughter, is snatched away in an
unguarded moment, to grace the next war
dance. When we read the heartrending de-
tails of these savage depredat!ons, we are
apt to blame the government for not taking
more strict precautions to insure the settlers
protection. But we daily read of the depreda-
tions of that arch-fend, consumption, with
scarcely a thought of the terrible inroads it is
making in human life Tens of thousands of
homes are annually desolated by consump-
ton to one by Indian outrage Like the In
dian, consumption oftenest comes stealthily,
and no danger is unprecedented until the victim
finds himself hopelessly ensnared, and deaths
fatal arrow ends the scene. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, powerful Alternative or
ood-puritier, and tonic, has restored thous-
ands of cOnsumptives who had tried every
other remedy recommended to them, without
obtaining any relief, and are willing to testify
to its remedial powers.
Everybody knows that so long as there is
proud flesh in sore or wound. it will not heal
The obstacle is speedily removed, and the flesh
reunited by Henry's Carbolic Salve, the finest
embodiment in existence of that supreme puri-
fer, carbOlic acid. Its emollient ingredients
modify its pungent acid basis so that it never
cauterizes, stings or scarifes the diseased part

nlya woman, perhaps defled-
See how the water drips from her hair,
Golden, and tangled, and silken, and wild;
And her little hands, they are soft and fair
low Ong the lashes that lie on her chez k!
How mournful the curve of those perfect lips
That never again will smile or speak!
s o lovely! God! how the water drips
Only q woman, the people say,
Friendless, despairing, and gone to her death
Such sad things happen every day.
y that those lips again had breath!
What would they murmer of sorrow and pain :?
Of mad, wild passion, and blank despair
Of the dark night passed in the rain,
And the peoples freezing and merciless
stare?
God pity her! She was very fair
How can lily, frail white.
Brave the rude storm that shakes the air,
And feel no touch of the frost and blight?
And she was no stronger-O helpless thing!
And her love was greater than all Earth
Or Heaven. y take her away from the sting
OF the pitiless eyes, and the jeering mirth.
Only woman. Ah! lay her away
Poor, worn, and weary, and friendless one.
Mayhap she had found Gods radient day,
And dwells forcrer beneath the Sun.
Who knows? 2, Enfold her in spOtless white,
A broken, beautiful trampled flowr.
Lay her away in the dim, dark night,
To await Gods shining eternal hour.
