A Marriage Mart in Roumanfa.

A remarkable custom exists among the
Roumanians living In the westerly Carpa-
Lhtans. Every year, at the Feast of the
Apostles Peter and Paul, q market is held
on the crest of the Gaina, from 5000 to
5000 feet above the level of the sea, and
here all tho manageable girls of the
entire district assemble with their parents
IN order to be viewed and claimed.
Mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and
various other female friends contribute
to the dowry, and this completed, it Is
carried to the market on the Gaina In
neatly made trunks, decorated with
flowers and carried by the family's best
horses. Cattle, bees, and other house
hold requisites are also added to the
dowry.
On the Gaina every family which has
: manageable daughter occupies dis
tnct tent, in which the dowry is ex-
hiIited, and in which the bride.vicwers
IRE expected.
Tho bachelors, too, are accompanied
by parents or relatives, il whose COM
pany they inspect the girls who are
eligible. The young men bring the hes;
thcy possess, and each must particularly
come with a girdle of gold or silver
After the brides are chosen the public
betrOthal takes pace, being conducted
by a hermit who lives in this lonely spot.
Tho mark of betrothal is not q ring,
but beautifully embroidered handker-
chief. The betrothal is in many cases
prc-arranged, but the ceremony must be
gone through all the same.
II girl goes to the market knowing
beforehand that an admirer will be there
to claim her, SO much the better for her.
Still she must take her dowry and oc-
cupy hor tent and place herself on view
like the rest.

Dyeing for Love,

A loving New England couple dyed for
one another few days ago.
The man was frosted with the SHOWS
of seventy years, while she who was to
be his blushing bride had the raven locks
OF forty.
He dyed his hair black, thinking to
Please her, and she, ignorant Of his noble
sacrifice, bleached her hair white to
please him.
There was strange far-offness when
they next met.

Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infiamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
fammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. By the
advice OF a physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
My eyes arc now in splendid condi-
ton, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. I'll.
For a number of years was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected a complete cure, and
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
fiers. &C. T.. Upton, Nashua, N. III.
From childhood, and until with q few
months, have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. 1 have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. - Mrs. G. Phillips,
Glover, VT.
I suffered for year with inflamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, l was final
ly induced to use Ayes Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. Ny sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of inflamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light Of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend purchased bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. - w. e. Suther-
