Relics OF Savaqery.

Many marriage customs observed at
the present time are relies Of the time
when women were simply the cbattels
or slaves Of their husbands The wed
ding ring is but substitute for the
chain or fetter or perhaps the metal
badge Of the female slave of the past.
Then there IL the custom OF throwing
an old shoe In ancient times ruler
would signify his dominion over q
place by casting bis shoe across II or
over serf by touching the serfs head
with his shoe. The casting Of shoe
therefore signifies the transfer Of an
thority over the woman 20 the bride
groom. In the good old days" a man
who wanted wife sometimes went
with companion to Deighboring
tribe and carried o girl OF by force,
II was then necessary for him 10 take
hurried journey 10 escape the
vengeance OF the pursuing friends Of
the girl SO today the bridegroom has

memorates the flight from the wife's

PEACOCK HYPOCRISY.

A peacock with a wondrous tail
That shone like a rainbow
Was spreading himself in the sun
And strutting TO and fro.
And, proud OF his magnificence
He turned unto hen
Whom he considered the best Judge
OF beauty in the pen
And said Now, Mrs. Hen,
I'd like to ask Of you
Your real opinion OF myself
And all my gorgeous hue,
"Do not rival yonder sun,
Excel the rainbow too2
DO not my lovely. graceful curves
Just fairly dazzle your
We'll" said the hen you look real nlcs
But how about your skim
You know, beneath your finory
That you're an black as sin.
sAnd all your plumes and prancing
Cannot hide your ugly feet
I'm sure for size and uglness
Your black feet can't be beat"
The peacock folded his fine wings
And. silent. skunk away.
He knew the old hen told the truth.
Twas useless to gainsay.
Thus hypocrltes are Just the same.
With long face and long prayers
They strut about like peacocks
And put on angel airs
But II you strip their sheepskin on
You'll find no Christian fair.
Beneath their Pharahaic robe
The cloven foot is there.
