Since early this moral worshipers have assoml three churches belonging copalians and Roman Ci each of which the begin “Great Forty Days” has with tho rites appropriate to tho oc casion. At tho Romalji 'Catholic church the faithful wore - signed on thetf. foreheads with aV rbss, the thumb of the Priest being- lipped in the ashes of the palm, hi seed last year on Palui Sunday, blest id as so* crcd ashes this morning^ iprinklcd with holy water, and dulyiumigatcd with incense. Over each kneeling pen itent were recited in Latin,tho words: “Remember, O man, that, thou art dust, and unto dust shElt-* thou re turn.” In the Anglican .elfcrch, and those in communion with her, these ceremonies were dropped at , the Re formation, as experience proved they tonded to superstition, evemeducated persons attaching amaglcajj-efiflicacy to the blessed ashes. Her ceremonial, though plainer,is tho more impressive from the fact of its being conducted in a tongue and manner understood by the people. The word Lent is derived from the old Saxon .word “Lenten” or Spring, as the Fast of Lent always occurs at that season of tho year. In the Ro man Missal it* still retAins its Latin name of Quadragesima, or space of forty days, and since the second cen tury the Lenten discipline—always observed in the church, since Apos tolic times—has been of obligation on the faithful. Tho Greek church in sists on a corporal fasting fifom sun rise to sunset, which is literally ob served by all, except the very young, tho very old, and invalids, and in cludes the most rigid abstinence from flesh meat. In tho Roman Church, what with the most delicate cooking, tho most expensive fish, the non-pro hibition of spirituous and fermented liquors, and tho dispensations even from abstinence from flesh meat, except among the religious orders, fasting is nearly nominal. No re striction is put upoii amusements, nor are any extra devotions preached up as of obligation. In the Anglican com munion tho season is very strictly observed. Fasting and abstinence and self-mortification are inculcated and practiced, though tho church leaves it to the consciences of her At a Redaction of 20 per dt. ’ Flannels, Blankets, Bed Comforts* tftf* ' • • •> '-JnX 'l/.V •' \ * - " derwear, Corsets, .Ladies*and Gents’Silk. lEmhreltafoetc, _ . | J.

As a rule these extra observances assume the form of works of charity and mercy, denying oneself of luxu ries and giving tho proceeds to the poor, more frequent attendances at the sfervices which ore always in creased during Lent, and greater time given to private devotion and self examination. As a rule, mar riages are not celebrated daring this season, a rule more rigidly observed in tho Anglican than in the Roman communion, except by the royal fam ily of England, nearly every member of which has hecn married in Lent, the Queen having imbibed the free views of tbo late Prince Consort on I do jtbis in order to make rootn lfrr my Spring Stock.

In London the theatres arc closed by law on Ash Wednesday, on which day likewise the members of the Houses of Lords and Commons attend service at the Church of St. Margaret, Rector the Ven. Archdeacon Farrar, adjoining Westminister Abbey, that being their parish chnrch, and listen to a sermon appropriate to the occasion Ash Wednesday is of more mod ern date than the Fast of Lent, which really begins next Sunday. But as no fast is ever observed on the Lord’s Day, St. Augustine anathematized all who should follow such a prac tice; Pope Felix III, in the year 487 first added the four days from Ash Wednesday inclusively to complete the number of fasting days to forty, of which thcsoa8on actually consists; Popo Gregoiy the Grent in the sixth century introducing the. sprinkling of ashes on the first of these four ad ditional days,* hence called Dies Cin- crum—Ash Day. This practico the Council of Beneventum in tho year 1091 strictly enjoined on the whole church as of obligation, the English Reformers abolishing it, “as being a mere shadow, or vain show.” R.
