and By joining hands through thu magic

OF love which was to them rs sacred as a
marriage vow. The Scottish Society of
Artiquarians sives the following explaua.
ton Of the ceremony:
When the parties had agreed to marry
they repaired TO the Temple of the Moon,
where the woman, in the presence Of the
man, fell down on her knees and prayed to
the God OF Wooden (tor such was the name
OF the god whom they addressed on this &C.
casiou) that he would enable her to per
form all the promises and obligations she
had made and WAS to MAKE, to the Young
nau present; after which they both went to
the Temple of the sim, where the man
prayed in like manner before the woman.
They then went to the stone Of Odin; and,
the man being on one side aud the woman
on the other, they took hold Of each others
right hand through the hole in it, and there
s~ore TO be constant aud faithful to each
other
Arsaiiars paid gree; respect to this
s'or" OF Odin. and whsn visiting it were in

there the SIX marble columns which former

jected to OF the ground that i: would be
equivalent to the ridiculous rearing oc "a
