MARRIAGE CEREMONIES.


The Forms Observed In England, Scotland
and the United States.
The early marriage ceremony among
the Anglo-Saxons was of very prim-
tive character. It consisted merely
of hand fastening, or taking each other
by the hand, and pledging each other
love and affection in the presence Of
/ friends and relatives. The bridegroom
paid the father sum of money. called
a foster-lean. or payment for nourish-
ing. At later period the early GUS
/ tom of espOusals was reduced to reg
ular system. and the lover was re-
quired to give wed, or security. for
the performance ofhis contract; hence
our word wedding.
Z In England, until the time of CrOm-
well, which extended from the year
1850 to his death in 1868, marriage
was a religious institution. having
been so held since the earliest times OF
Christianity. Under the Roman en-
pire it was simply civil contract;
hence we read of men putting away"
their wives. as if they were pieces of
furniture whose old fashion or bad
fashion did not exactly please the
fancy. When the English Republic
fell to pieces and the Stuarts were re-
stored in 1860 marriage again was le-
gally regarded as a religious ordi-
nance. Fifty years ago it was enacted
that, at the will of the participant
parties. it might be a civil contract
or religious rite. The Roman Cath
olics, considering it as sacrament,
do not recognize its merely civil char

without his challenging the in
ference. the local laws consider them
husband and wife. OF course, if the
male party addresses or introduces the
lady as Mrs. Charles Burns. she is as
much his wife as if they had been mar
ried with full choral service in West
minister Abbey, by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, with the assistance of half
a dozen of the inferior clergy. In a
word, if a man in Scotland allows it to
be understood by word or deed that
such lady, young or old, is his wife,
she is that by the strong law of the
land.
An old adage thus lays down the
proper days for wedlock: "On Mon

Wednesday the best day of all; Thurs
day for crosses, Friday for losses, Sat

piOn of the fair sex accounted for their
superiority by saying that Adam was

was created within its sacred limits:

The eye-sight of the nurse must be

atmosphere. and her taste delicate
enough to allow her to appreciate the
difference between poorly-cooked food
and that properly prepared. A
fidgety or nervous woman or a selfish
or self-absorbed woman is utterly out
of place in a sick-room.
All good housekeepers always
keep bundles of old flannel. of old
linen and of old cotton where either
can be readily obtained if necessary
in the sick-room. Bandages of old
flannel are invaluable in cases of
rheumatism or of sore throat In
fact, there is nothing else that will
take the place of such half worn
goods. New flannel would be of COM
paratively little use for the purpose.
A small flannel bag filled with hops
and wrung out in boiling water will
soothe to sleep a sufferer from neural

There should be sufficient bandages

"And does the varlet who wrote that

Minister than his previous rage.
