riage. If her lover is poor and unable to
accumulate tho stipulated price set upon
her head, and which must be paid before
she can become q bride, the wedding is
sometimes postponed for years. Some
times the parent of tho prospective bride
Is considerable father, and in case the
whole amount cannot be raised, accepts a
portion, and gives tine young couple time
to pay the balance by their united exer

But quite as often the cruel parent"
