WAYS OF SECURIN'!; A WIFE.
Interesting Details of Old Nuptial
Feasts and Ceremonials.
Curious Marriage Customs of the An
cient Jews Brides Bought or Se
lected by the Groom’s Parents.
Cupid Was Unconcerned.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Tn an upper chamber the betrothed
pair stood under a canopy. The bride
was veiled and both wore crowns, which
wre several times exchanged. The offi
ciating elder, who stood to the left, gave
a cup of wine to the betrothed and they
pledged one another, the bridegroom
draining the vessel, then erushing it
• ndor his heel and swearing fidelity until
it- powdered fragrants should be re
united. The whole company then
formed in procession and marched round
the canopy chanting psalms and shower
ing rice upon the bride. The officiating
minister meanwhile invoked the
seven blessings upon them, drank from
the benedictory cup, and passed it around
the assembly, and the ceremony was con
cluded. It was not until after dark that
the bride was taken to her new home, at
tended by friends of each of the contract
ing parties, bearing hymeneal lamps as
tokens of respect. Here a feast was
spread and the festivities commence, in
many instances lasting as long as seven
days.
This was tho ceremony as performed by
the early Jewish tribes, and was the oc
casion of all the pomp and splendor of that
age.
The marriage ceremony originated with
our lirst parents. "Be fruitful and multi
ply and replenish the earth.” It was a
short ceremony, but was regarded by the
Jews as a solemn precept to and W strict
obligation upon them. Out of this duty
set upon them to procreate grew the ne
cessity for a binding contract, either re
ligious or civil, by which man should be
lawfully united to woman for the ex
pedient purplses of civilized society.
Monogamy was the original law, but the
unity of thebond soon became impaired
by polygamy, which seems to have first
become common among tho Caananites.
Soon it swept over all the nations of the
earth, tainting each in turn, and though
the lirst wife held the highest place,
subsequent ones were taken by all those
who could afford it.
Among the early nations the choice of a
bride devolved, not upon the bridegroom
himself, but u)>on his relations, or some
friends deputed by him for the purpose,
and while his wishes were always
respected in regard to the one selected, he
was not known in the affair until all the
arrangements had been completed. Oc
casionally when the lady was superior in
rank or wealth a son-in-law was selected
by the father. In such instances the girl
was not consulted, but was bargained for
without. knowledge, and if the husband
thus chosen proved an unfit lord and
master he was held to account by the
relatives. In either case the selection
was immediately followed by betrothal,
and presents befitting the rank and wealth
of the groom were given to the bride-elect
ami her family.
The time between the betrothal and the
wedding varied from ten days to a year,
during which time the maiden was ac
corded all the respect due a married
woman. She could no longer dispose of
or let her property, and unfaithfulness to
tor vows was punishable by death.
Ol.n JEWISH CUSTOMS.
Tho Jews had certain days set apart for
tbv solemnizing of marriage and this cus
tom has perhaps been the origin of many
o' the superstitions of the present day.
With them Thursday was set apart for
widows, who seemed to wield as great a
away'tfrfd bens tmteh sought for as in the
nineteenth century. Wednesday was set
apart, for maidens, not because it was
considered the luckiest day of the week,
bat because the sanhedrim held its meet
ings on Thursday, and therefore the
newly married man could, on the follow
ing day, bring his wife before the meet
ing if lie had any cause for complaint
against her.
The ancient Greek legislators consid
ered marriage a matter of public as well
as private interest and passed very string
ent laws on the subject. More attention
was paid to the physical condition and
mental capacity in this country, the
amount of wealth being a secondary con
sideration. when compared with physical
qualifications.. In each instance the an
cestry was traced and if aught of blem
ish was found the union was not only dis
couraged but forbidden. Here it was
considered the duty of every citizen to
raise healthy and legitimate children for
the state's as well as their own good.
The Greek ceremony was attended with
the same ostentation as the Jewish. At
I! votia and other places the axlctree of
the carriage was burned upon the arrival
at tho bridegroom’s house as a sign that
the bride was not to return or go abroad.
I’pon entering the house tho married pair
received the greetings and congratula
tions of the friends who were waiting to
meet them, and, as no civil right con
torted with marriage was required by
Greek law, to witness the fact of the
marriage having taken place. Tho bride
was generally conducted into the house
hy her mother, who boro a lighted torch.
A servant carried a sieve and the bride
herself boro a vessel, in which was
parched barley, a symbol of her readiness
to attend to her household duties.’
Sweetmeats were, showered upon the
pair, as emblems of plenty and prosperity
ami a final kiss confirmed the nuptials.
Ihe bride wore wreaths of myrtle, wild
thyme and roses which had been plucked
h. v herself, as it would have been an ill
omen to buy them. After the banquet,
which followed, was over, the husband
and wife ate a quince as an indication that
their mutual relationship should be sweet
“ml agreeable.
! ’resents among this people were never
Ft ven until the next morning and were
aonietimes called unveiling presents, it be
me the first time the bride took the cover
ln - front her face.
•Spartans were equally as careful as the
Greeks and made celibacy or ill-condi-
Gmed matches punishable under the law.
t )! such importance did they regard this
1' ! they fined their King Archidanius
tor marrying a very little woman, con
sidering that their children would be de-
P--in-rated and unworthy of the nation;
•m nid bachelor was stigmatized and one
!” ll, e penalties attached to his state was
1,1 "alk naked in the winter through tho
®Grket place singing a satirical song on
lein elf, and this was repeated each year
Jt.t'til he married or left the country,
'"'oat immunities and encouragements
v • re accorded those having large families,
teree children entitling them to a dis-
I ‘at off their taxes, while those so fortu-
II do* as to have four were entirely
exempt.
I he faith of tho Greok church was not
‘ iilined to Greece, but was spread exten
*u“*.v over Russia and Turkey. In these
countries the parties often actually bought
V h other. The bride counted down her
' "Pt and the bridegroom his price in the
pi'seneo of their relatives and friends,
' Wen sitting around a table and the
"men on rnld ix-urhe-s to witness tho
rothal. The bride wus then placed on
“ !| igh scut in her apartments, with a gilt
' '"'I 1 °n her head, and received the pres
®“ts from the friends and relatives.
TUB h->VA! raSUION.
Among lint Romans no marriage was
1 "rated without an augury was first
osuimj ami ita auapices proved to bo
' '-ruble (,)tl h(. r wedding day llm
” w a drauMsi m a long white robe,
a-iurued with ribbons or purple fringe,
and round her waist she wore a girdle of
tvool, which was the most Important part
of her wedding finery. Her corona
nuptial is. or bridal wreath, was' made of
verbena, gathered by herself, and worn
under the bright yellow veil, which was
half raised as the last, Words of the cer-v
tnony were spoken, that the hair on her
forehead might be parted by the tip of
the warrior's speer. Returning to the
house of the bridegroom, she meekly ap-'
proaches her husband, who, in the pres
ence of the assembled company, unloosed
the girdle of wool as a sign of her aban
donment of virgin condition, and a nuptial
kiss completed the ceremony.
Ihe ancient Scythians, being a fierce
and warlike people, would nof marry a
maiden who had not killed an enemy, and
a woman who could show a record of
more than one was considered a prize.
Polygamy was prevalent among them,
and not infrequently marriage with the
wife of another man was allowed, some
tribes holding wives in common. Within •
the. past century this has been changed,
and the present law rigorously punishes
infidelity with death.
Among the Lydians, Lycians, and at
Carthage the laws were wofully lax.
The children of the Lycians took their
name and condition not from the fathers
but from their mothers, a special tax
being assessed for the support of the*
children which were kept in special quar
ters.
What a harvest a newspaper could have
gathered could one have been established
among the ancient Rhodians. At least
two-thirds of it would have been devoted
to lauding the virtues of those in the mat
rimonial market, since it was their cus
tom to obtain their wives solely by adver
tising, which, in lieu of papers, a public
promulgator did by going through the
streets of the cities crying the want. The
Parthians, not so enterprising as the
Rhodians, were satisfied with what fell
to their lot through the intercession of a
"pallions,” or old woman, whose trade it
was to arrange all such contracts.
The Assyrians and Babylonians assem
bled all girls of marriageable ago in the
space before the temple twice a year and
sold them. The handsome girls brought
good prices and the money thus obtained
was given as a wedding portion to the
homely ones, while the plain girls were
put up at a certain sum to those .willing to
take them. No ceremony was required,
tho fact of the purchase being sufficiently
binding.
The Chinese and Buddhists believe
marriage to be simply a matter of destiny.
Men are permitted to keep several
women, but they are subservient to the
first nr honorable wife. The Chinese
marry their children very young, some
times as soon as they are born. The mar
riage, which is a mere civil contract, is
arranged after consulting a fortune
teller or professional match-mak
er, and tho contracting parties
never see each other until the wedding
day. The maryied women of China had
very little to amuse or interest them: the
only society permitted was that of their
husband and children. At intervals or
on festival days she was permitted to see
her father and brothers. Her hair was
cropped and worn in a peculiar fashion to
mark her condition. In the provinces
bordering on Tartary the governors pre
scribed a time to both sexes within
which they were obliged to marry or for
ever after to exclude themselves from
the world. When tho legal time had ar
rived, those willing to marry presented
themselves at the appointed time and
place, when the twelve officials appointed
to attend to this work arranged the mat
ing and ceremony.
IX FLOWERY .TAPAX.
Tn Japan polygamy is allowed, and
fathers sell or hire out their daughters
for limited terms. A man. however, can
have only one lawful wife. All things
considered,the women of that country a rtf
not ill-treated, us is the case in other
countries where a similar state of society
exists.
The Welsh had several curious customs
—the bidding, chaining, hunting and tith
itigs. When a young couple had arranged
to marry, a paid bidder or invitcr, carry -
ing a long stick bedecked with bright
ribbons, visited the houses of mutual
friends of the contracting parties, and
standing in the center of the guests’ room
he repeated in rhyme tho- invitation, and
asked all to bring gifts, promising good
entertainment and much pleasure. Every
body attended and each brought a gift.
One of the early Welsh laws permit the
husband administering three blows with
a stick to any part of the person of a mis
behaving wife, except her head; and
another law provides that the stick be
not longer than the husband's arm, or
thicker than his middle finger.
The ceremonies of the ancient-Germans
were simple, and consisted chiefly in
feasting and merry-making. A young
man could scarcely, hope for an honorable
alliance until he had distinguished him
,self in war. The bridegroom having
made his selection, sent a mutual friend
to the bride's father, and, as was cus
tomary in those days, learned what price
was set upon his daughter and *the
amount of her dowry. If satisfactory
terms could be made, the friend received
her and her portion, and, attended by this
guardian, she was conducted to her new
home. Here they were linked
together by the arms and legs and sup
ported between them an emblem of a pair
of burning hearts-with a j'hild dancing on
thejr fetters. The man held a spade and
the woman a distaff and spindle, and in
the presence of their friends they pledged
fidelity to each other and drank to their
gods and heroes. The bride’s friends
then took her upon their shoulders and
carried her to the nuptial chamber. The
custom of the morgengabe, or morning
gift, is still in vogue in many places, and
is supposed to be some piece of jewelry or
money to commemorate the day.
By the old laws of France, regulating
the age under * which people should nos
marry, the age was 30 years for the man
and 25 for the woman. Vaughan, writing
in 1008, says: ’ "The ancient Frenchmen
had a ceremonie, that when they would
marrie, the bride-grome should pare his
nayles and send them unto his new wife;
which done they lived together after
wards as man and wife.” In the fifteenth
century there was a law in France which
made it possible to escape the death pen
alty if a woman could be found who
would consent to marry him on the gal
lows. Early in the seventeenth century
there is an instanceof a merchant born at
Chichester who was saved from hanging
in this way.
The ancient custom of seizing wives
and carrying them off by force was prat- ,
ticed in Ireland, and as late as 1707 an in
stance of this custom occurred in Kil
kenny. A desperate lover with a party
of armed men besieged the house of his
rival, and in thecontestoneof the fathers
in-law was shot dead and several of the
besiegers mortally wounded. However
suitable the match, it is but a lame ex
ploit, and even an affront if the groom does
not first run a way with the bride. After
a few days’ carousal among the groom's
friands, the party moves toward the
bride's country, on which occasion not
only every relative, hut every floor follow
who aspires to be the well wisher of either
party brings with him a bottle of whisky
to the rendezvous Aftor this second edi
tion of matrimonial hilarity the bride and
groom, forgetting at once their romantic
frolic, settled down to the ordinary occu
pations of life.

NOVEL READING IN THE BUSH.
Diokena the Favorite Among the Aus
■ t traliau Gold Diggers.
From Salas Journal.
It is a rare thing in an Australian camp
that cards are not in evidence, though they
are by no means a sine qua non where men
are so handy that dominoes, checkers,
fox and geese, chessmen, and other gam
ing apparatus are soon manufactured by
the all-around tools, the busliman's pocket
knife. Now, leaving out such things as
refining influences, instruction, or what
ever good there may be in the ordi
nary novel, there is always the in
terest attached to the plot. What will
be the reward of the virtuous hero and
heroine and the end of the villain ’ and it
must be a poor novel indeed that does not
contain within its yellow covers a spark
of humor or wit. So that at this par
ticular juncture the yellow back is a
perfect godsend. It passes away the
time, if nothing else. It does more—
it diverts men’s minds from that
which too frequently leads to
wrangling and even serious ruptures, be
tween men who have been friends for
years. There is no pleasanter sight to be
seen on a gold field than the nightly
reading in some digger's hut. A cen
trally situated hut or a tent is selected—
the larger the better—and the reading
goes on night after night, first by
one, then by another, until the tale
ends. No matter whether the passagee
be grave or gay. there are always at
tentive listeners. Much depends upon the
reader, of course ind if a particularly
good one comes to the front he is unani
mously elected the- reader of the camp,
relieved only as occasion may require by
some other of lesser degree. I have seen
men holding their sides with laughter,
ana the next moment all would be as still
as the tomb, save the well-modulated
tones of the reader; and not infrequently
tears would be seen rolling down sun
burned faces which, but a few minutes
before were wreathed in broad grins.
Charles-Dickens is always a favorite —
just as Bret Harte tells us he was away
back on the placers of California. In all
classes of* society in Australia the name
of Charles Dickens is honored above all
.others. I have heard him read every
where ; in the miners' camp, in the wood
shed, in the sawyers' and splitters' gun
yah, at the temperance readings, in
the bush township, at the weekly
penny reading, at schools of art in larger
centers of population; by Anglican par
sons, Wesleyan ministers. Roman Catholic
priests—they all love Dickens,and the peo
ple generally never tire of Little Nell, Tiny
Tim, Newman Noggs, Dick Swiveller.
Jack Bunsby, Florence Dombey. Mlcaw
ber, Little Dorritt, Pickwick & Cos.: in
deed, it is surprising how-well Dickens is
known. There are, however, exceptions.
A friend of mine was once traveling from
one gold field to another, and had occasion
to call at a roadside accommodation house
to which v-as attached a sifiall store.
While the proprietress was serving him
he tool: up some loose papers
papers lying on the counter,
and, finding them of quite recent date,
he looked over them .until he came to a
paragraph referring to the death of
Dickens. My friend had been "on the
wallaby” for a long time, and had seen no
English news for ntdny months. He
dropped the papers and exclaimed,
“What! Dickens dead! good, dear
Charles Dickens gone! Is it possible!”
The woman was quite amused at my
friend's trouble, and quite coolly asked,
“Who the dickens was he!”
“And do you mean to tell me, my good
woman, that you don’t know who Charles
Dickens was!”
“Not from Adam." said she.
My friend took up his purchases and,
beyond offering a shilling for the wrap
ping papers on "the counter, passed out
without further comment, being, as he
said, "about full up." My friend was a
rough, uncultured cockney, but his heart
was big with love for the creator of Jo.
