FINDING HIS BRIDE.
a Quaint Custom That Prevails in Por

uCu~ of Switzerland.
The custom OF throwing obstacles in
the pathway OF the bridegroom, as a
prelude TO the marriage ceremony. Is
of very ancient origin. says the Youths
Companion. Mythology has its tales OF
suitorS whose courage and skill We're
tested before they were allowed 10 take
their brides; in certain remote dis
tricts. even in civilized lands, some
form of such usagcs still exists. Says
the author Of The Swiss Egpublic:"
In one part OF the Canton of Ticino a
very quaint marriage ceremony pre-
walls The bridegroom dresses in his
sunday best" and, accompanied 10y a.
many friends and relatives as he can
muster Tor the fetc, goes to claim his
bride
Finding the door locked. he demands
admdttancc: the inmates ask him his
business. and III reply he solicits the
hand of his chosen maiden.
II his answer be deemed satisfactory.
he is -ucccssivcIy introduced 10 a num-
ber of matrons and maids. some per

ugly. Then he is presented to some
large dolls, all Of which he rejects
with scorn. amid general mcrrimcut.

UetuoSity and temper are now sorely

pretty hard lot. SAYS the Youths Com
panion. Doctor Pruen says that one
day. in a strange village, a little chit OF
boy marched up TO him, stuck his arms
out. pat his hands into what would have
been his pockets. had he worn clothes,
and putting his head on one side, looked
MP at the white man and said, in an i'm
pUdent voice: Are you married?"
On another occasion my wife and |
had been visiting a chief of a small
village, and "a we We're going away, we
heard the steps Of people running after
us. So we waited a moment and up
came two young men quite out of
breath. As soon as he could get his
breath, one OF them said, pointing to
my wife:
How many cows could get one like
that for?"
tried to explain TO him that in Eng
land people did not get their wives in
that way.
For nothing" he exclaimed delight
ed, could l get one like that for moth
ing?"
l told him in answer to one OF his
questions that if he came TO England
hc would be allowed to ask woman to
be his wife, but that l thought she
would probably say: No" His friend,
upon this, looked at him. and bursting
into a hearty fit Of laughter said, with
emphasis:
Yes, I expect she would say no."
