BARNHARr, NEW CASTLE, PA.
Love In Lapland.
When young Laplander is in love
with girl he and she run a race. He
is heavily handicapped, so that she may
win if she chooses, and it she outrun
him he cannot propose again. Of course,
she suffers herself to be overcome if she
cares for him, but the consent of her
parents must be obtained before she can
be married. The law of the land is very
strict on this point, and in Olden times
the man was subject to capital punish
ment if he married without the consent
of the girls parents.
After Laplander has chosen bride
he sends her a present Of girdle, a
ring, and quantity of brandy. He
goes as far as the door of her hut, but
remains outside until invited to enter,
when bumper of brandy is offered to
the girls father. If he drinks it it is
sign he consents to the marriage, and
the young lover then promises to give
the girl some clothes, and pays sum
of money, generally hundred copper
dollars, down en- the spot. This, of
course, is a remnant of marriage by
purchase, which in primitive times sue
ceeded marriage by capture.
Banns are published once in Lapland,
and the marriage ceremony is very
short. The bride wears her hair loose,
and has gold band around her head.
Her presents and her dowry are general
" reindeer. and she and her bridegroom
remain with her parents for a year aft
er marriage.

AFTER all, said the bachelor, 1.-The
difference between love and dyspepsia
is purely relative. 1t is q matter of time
only. One is future and the other past.
