MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

In England.
Marriage customs have changed ev.
erywhexe with the advance Of civihza.
ton. Anglo-Saxons in ancient times, it
is said. used to capture their wives by
force from their fathers or their hus.
bands. 1t did not matter which.
This was before Augustine came to
preach Christianity. Then purchase was
nor common than capture, although
h latter seems to have been frequent
enough to the reign of Ethelbert to need
regulation by law. By this law a man
might run away with q woman, provid.
ed he afterward paid her previous own.
er. be he father or husband, 90 shillings.
If it was husband who had thus been
deprived of his wife. the woman's cap
tor had not only to pay him the fine,
but also to buy him another wife. In
any case the stolen woman belonged to
her captor.
II q man had purchased his bride in
the days of Ethelbert and aftervard
concluded he had paid too much for Ter,
it was lawful for him to return her to
her former owner and claim again the
purchase price, provided that he had
not previously expressed satisfaction by
making the bride a present on the morn
ing after the wedding.
The next step was the 'tfoster licn,"
when the bride price was paid OH the
day of espousal and was supposed. to
compensate the parent for the cost of
bringing up his daughter. 1t seems.
however, that this soon fell into disre.
pute, 10 there was no law against the
fathers engaging his daughter to nu-
merous s%uitors, taking from each the
''foster lien," and. OF course, cheating
all but one on the wedding day, which,
at that time. was only the day of be-
trothal, when the sutton gave a "wed'
or pledge for the future performance Of
his contract. If the sutton did not claim
his bride within two years after the
wedding day, he forfeited all right to
her and to whatever money or goods he
had paid for her. If tho woman or her
father broke their promises, the father
had to give the sutton four times as
much as the sutton had already paid
him.
As civilization advanced the bride
price was given to the woman herself
and became her dowry. while nova.
days the tables are frequently turned,
and the bride settles the money on her
husband.-Kate Fields Washington.
