his name. Among the candidates who
were sent from Princeton to Phila-

the committee were besieged to ask
for the young man again. and they
consented, but unfortunately the man
to whose lot it fell to write the letter
had forgotten the candidates name.
Nothing daunted. he wrote to one or
the seminary professors:

THE ESPOUSAL.

Ancient Ceremony Of the Mutual
Promise Of Marriage.
The first part Of the matrimonial Of
fee was anciently termed the espousal,
which took place some time prior to
the actual celebration Of marriage.
These espousals consisted in a mutual
promise Of marriage, which was made
by the man and woman before the
bishop or presbyter and several wit
noSSeS.
After them the articles Of agreement
Of marriage. called tabuloe matrimo-
males. which are mentioned by Angus
tine, were signed by both persons. Aft
er this the man delivered to the wom
an the ring and other gifts. an action
which was termed subarrhation. In
the latter ages the espousals have al
ways been performed at the same time
as the Office of matrimony in oil the
churches abroad, and it has long been
customary for the ring to be delivered
to the woman after the contract has
been made, which has always been in
the actual Office of matrimOny.
The ring Is a special token Of spous-
age. In some Of the old manuals for
the use of foreign cathedrals before
the minister proceeds to the marriage
he is directed to ask the woman's
dowry-viz, the tokens Of spousage-
and by these tokens Of spousage are
to. be understood rings or money or
some other things to be given to the
woman by the man, which giving is
called wedding or covenanting. espe-
cially when it is done by the giving Of
q ring.-New York Tribune.

Three Games Lost.

The Webster ball team is getting
plenty OF playing these days but are
playing too good teams for the heavy
scores seems TO be on the wrong side OF
the sheet to give the locals the ribbon.
A week ago the Milbank team came
here and won an easy game. The boys
went to Miibank Friday and again met
defeat although it was by such a narrow
margin after a tight game that there
was nearly as much honor in loosing as
winning. the score being 10 and IL.
From Milbank the boys went TO Sum.
init and again met defeat 10 u e tune Of
10 20 6. This large lead made by the
Summit team might be attributed 10
the fact that the local boys were not
feeling their best after playing smell a
hard game the day before. The boys
have nothing but praise for the manner
they were treated by both the teams
and say they would be glad TO 90 to
either town again. The coming Satur.
day they will meet the Aberdeen team
on the latter's diamond aud we are in
hopes the boys will be able 10 trim that
bunch of PLAYERS.
