IMPOSING CEREMONY.
Graphic Description of FashiOnabl
Wedding of Russia.

Graphic Description of q Fashionable
Wedding of Russia.
The Russians generally marry quite
young in the upper classes, and
amongst country people even at an
earlier age; and to the honor of this
society be it said, love marriages are
the rule, and marriages for money are
very rare exceptions. Dowry-hunting
and marriages of interest have not yet
made their appearance in Russian
manners. Girls of high social posi-
ton readily marry young officers OF
the Guard, who furnishes the largest
contingent of dancers to the balls of
Petersburg. During the carnival fetes
the two armies. the army in pettlcoats
and the army that wears epaulets.
learn to know each other thoroughly.
Friendships spring up. the young man
pays court, and one day, without hav-
ing consulted any body, two frances
come to ask of the parents a blessing,
which is never refused. The
church does not marry dur
ing Lent, SO tney nave
to wait until Easter week.
Fashion demands for the celebration OF
the ceremony the chapel OF some prl-
waite house, if the couple have not sui
ficiently lofty relations to secure the
chapel of the palace. A family that
respects itself ought to have at Its wed
ding as honorary father and honorary
mother. if not the Emperor and En-
press. at least Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess. The honorary father
gives the holy image. which some little
child related to the families carries In
front of the frances. They enter the
church, followed by all their friends In
gala uniform. The ceremony begins;
it is very long, and complicated with
MANY symbolic rites; small table

Ihe custom of throwing an old shoe
after newly-married couple is uni
versal. Some think that it is relic
OF the days when the gallant lover car
rled Off his sweetheart by force. Others
ascribe good luck to an old shoe and
throw it after the newly-married couple
with the best intent This certainly is
the most popular view, and few parents
dream that when they throw her old
shoes after her they hereby give up for
good and all their control and right
over their daughter Yet this is the
significance it had in the days when
the Anglo-Saxon father handed to the
bridegroom an old shoe of the bride.
The husband touched the bride on the
head with it as an assertion of his au-
thority, while the father. by the giving
of the shoe. signified his willingness to
relinquish all claim or authority. In
Turkey, however, it is the bridegroom
himself who is touched, and some
times quite severely. for the moment
he is married his friends and relatives
set upon him and pelt him with their
slippers as a sort of affectionate fare
well.
When a pair of new shoes is brought
home, never place them ON a shelf
higher than your head if you would
have good luck while wearing them,
and never blacken them before you
have had both shoes on, else you may
meet with an accident and perhaps
sudden death. So say the old Irish
women who have made a study of
these matters. The Scotch lassie be-
lieves that should she by accident drop
her new shoes before they have been
worn. they will surely lead her into
trouble. The German mother saws
that should she loose the heel of her
shoe one of her children will die be-
fore the year is out, while should
French lady meet with such an acct
dent to her high-heeled slippers, dis
appointment in love is sure to follow.
Even fairies have been credited with
taking an interest in shoes, for we are
told that the merry little Cornish
pixies liked nothing so well as to ham,
mer away in the dead of night at the
unfinished shoes on the cobbler's
bench, to surprise and gladden. him

Unintentional Apostasy.

An old clergyman used to relate the fol-
lowing auecdote with great glee: Once,
when preparing his parishioners for the
solemn ordinance of confirmation, he found
among them an old woman 50 excessively
ignorant and stupid that, for some weeks
prior 10 the time, he was obliged to have her
come to his house every day in older 10 in
struct and catechise her. AT length he be-
gan to hope that his time, patience and zeal
had not been enterely bestowed in vain, a
few bright flashes of understanding having
burst from the old DANES clouded intellect.
The important day arrived. "Now, my
good friend" said the worthy pastor Just
previous TO the commencement Of the cere-
Inony, ''as this is the last moment in which
shall have an opportunity of conversing
with yo,l. let me ask, do you thoroughly un-
derstand and believe all the articles OF your

Disturbing Influences which Cause the
Senses to Act Abnormaily.

seisoS TO ACT ADnOrmally.
The senses, in their normal action, never
deceive; but they are all liable to disturb
ing influences oil various kinds, which cause
them TO act abnormally. They may be
painfully exalted in sensibilitv, or the ORGANS
of sense may be so blunted as to become
partially or wholly incapable of performing
their usual functions. They may even give
rise to sensations that are absolutely false.
The eye may "see' bright lights, beautiful
scenes, forms of familiar friends or monsters
of hideous shape-see them as clearly as we
see any thing-and yet the apparent objects
be wholly unreal.
Disorders of hearing are the most COM
mon of all Ringing, tinkling, rumbling.
roaring or beating-as of an audible pulse
are heard in various disturbed states of the
system. This is frequent result of the
misuse or overuse of drugs, as by the large
doses of qulnine taken in malaria. False
voices may be heard, so distinct that the
person does not at once suspect their OBJ
jectve unreality. These hallucinations may
connect with an unsounl state of the brain,
but they may be wholly independent of it.
