Some of the Murriage Observ- ancea in Early Times. urlous Customs Regarding the Ring In Various Countries - Regulations tions Regarding the Con nubial Ceremony. 'nlladolphla Press. "I entirely sot my face against the extravagant expenditure now so fash- enable at weddings , " said a prominent slorgyman yesterday , who was dis cussing a recent sacrifice at the hymo- nial altar , with a reporter of the Press. 'I certainly think that every solem nly is duo to so sacred u rite as mar riage , and that the occasion should be ono of seemly rejoicing amidst the amilios thus to boconio united. It is the lavish display of attire on the part of the bndeo and guests , the largo sums wasted on floral decorations and collations , the European honeymoon tours which are undertaken by couples whoso marital moans must necessitate the closest economy these are the natters which I consider so reprehen sible. In all such things the fashion ias boon sot by people in society , whoso wealth precluded pecuniary considerations ; but the slavish imita tion which has ensued frequently en tails severe privations lo parents , and often a load of debt on the shlouBrdo of thonowly-woddod pair. " While many sensible people wil approve of the remarks made by the reverend gentlemen , Hi era is some ex cuse for the practice , when it is re- inomborcd that pomp , display , ex penditure and publ o rejoicing have boon in all ages and in every climo. Marrriago , whether among the early Egyptians or ancient Haitians , or our own Euiopean forefathers , and oven among the aboriginal inhabi Units of the countries now impreg nated with civilization , have all nl ways boon occasions of much festiv ity , and some of the quaint procoood- ings obsoryod by different nation alities at various periods of llici history , are of a very interesting do scnption. IIAHDAUIO CUSTOMS. Among the barbaric nations womoi wore always regarded as the spoils o war , and tlio general mode of marriag was to capluru n wife ; the rape of th Sabines may bo given as an illustra lion of th''s. Strange to any an imita lion of this savage usage still exists ii n vecy modified form in portions o Wales. It is customary with the peasantry for a bridegroom to assom bio liin friends and make a sham at tack on another party of young moi who surround the bride aud protuiu to be carrying her to the mountains After much show of resistance the defenders fenders of the lady give up the strug glu and she is taken away in triump by her lover. While on the subjeo of Welch marriages it should bo addoc that the approaching event is alway advertised in the local papers , am strangers alike uio invited lo bo pie sent and contribute their quota to ward the now household. Early Eng lish marriages were occasions of ro joicing. Some of the customs observe were of a nature which would grcatl shock the rolinoinonl of the preson duy , but relics of such proceeding are still to bo found in modern woii dings. Satin favors worn be guosti for instance , represent the sum pieces of the bride's garters , whic were distributed among the grooms men and pinned on the right breasl Itridcsmaids are the descendants o the Saxon maidens , whoso duties wor to disrobe the bride. The tlirowin of old shoes was an intimation to th bride that henceforth she had no further thor claim on the homo she had lofi Flowora and rico showotod at the pai ro reminiscences of an unpleasant iixbit which was prevalent in eastern ountrios. The bridegroom was pelt- d with sloncsJjy the girl friends of ! io bride ai a remonstrance against icr leaving their ranks , and some- imes husband and wife were severely urt. TIIE WEOWNO KINO. The ring necessary to Ghrintion mrriagcs is the mosl ancient of all bsorvancos , and ono that in clearly raced to hcalhcn sources. Romans , Greeks , Egyptians and many otlier ncicnt nations used wedding rings , 'hoy wcro made of iron , gold , brass nd copper , and generally had solno nscription inscribed upon thorn , such s "May you live long , " "I bring ; oed fortune to the wearer. " Other inns which have boon discovered in nciont sepulchres have keys oncravod pen them , evidently as an indication f the wife's domestic authority. \moni ; the Jews the marriage rings vcro generally jewelled. The wed- ing ritm of Joseph and Mary , which as sold by n Jerusalem jeweler to larquis of Etruria in 9)0 ! ) , was coin- oscd of onyx or amethyst , a matter vhich can now bo no longer satifac- orily settled , as some fifty Catholic luuchoB possess a ring which s vouched to bo the only nd original ring worn by the Divine Mother. The Onrislian church made lie placing of the ring on the wo- lan's hand on imperative portion of 10 nuptial union , Init , strange to say , wliilo adopting the pagan custom , it id not define the material of which 10 ring should be made , so that Homo udicrous substances have done sor- ice in instances where the nervous ridegroom has forgotten to bring the .occssary . circlet in his waistcoat locket The church key and curtain ings have more than once been nought into requisition , and a _ few cars ago a wedding was solemnized u Boston at which the ring was a irclo of kid cut from the bride- room's glove. It is an error to sup- ese that a ring containing precious tones cannot bo used ; they roro very fashionable in the ilidcllo ages , and oven later. Mary , Queen of Scots , had three wedding ings , two in gold and the center ono n entire circle of diamonds. Rings isnd to bo placed on the bride's right land , as is still the custom in Ger- nany. In England , a century ago , narriago rings , although put on the econa finger of the loft hund at the hurch ceremony , were afterwards vorn on tlio thumb. The society of TYionds are among the feT Christian cats who dispense with this symbol of ho marriage relation , its heathenish > rigin being the alleged reason. Many 3uakorladioswe.ir ] them , nevertheless. L'ho old Puritans had the saint , proj- idiccs us the Friends , and in "Iludi- > ras' ' ' a passage refers tc it as follows : ) ther were fur abolishing L'hat tool of matrimony , a i ing , iVith which tlio unsanctifyM bridegroom marry'd only to a tbuinu : AH wise as rinKing of a pig Chat used to br nk up ground and dig. ) Che bridu to nothing but her will L'hat nulls the aftor-maniage sill. Butler's verso gives the imprcsssion ; hat wedding-rings were worn on the , humb at a much earlier period than iho reign of the Georges. With our grandparents it used to jo Customary whenever a man mar ried , an heiress to advertise that faol in. the public papers. For instance "John Brown to Miss Mary Jonti and 20,000. " Marriage in a smock ivas an old adage , which was observot by widows who had incurred debt ant wished to remarry without encumber ing their now husbands with their pe cuniary burdens. It was supposed i ; a man took a wife with nothing on put a single garment , he would be 'reed from the risk of being sued fpi lor anto-niarrintjo debts , and within u few years a wedding took place in England at which the bride stood uj at the altar to be married with noth ing on her but a shoot wrappec . "round her form. Marriage under the gallows is another old law , now obsolete , by which a murderer escapes the death penalty if a woman expresses her willingness to marry liim. In No w York , in 1784 , this ac tually occurred , but the man was subsequently soquontly hanged for the murder o : the woman whoso devotion saved hie life on the previous occason. Marriage riago by lot is still the rule amcng the Moravians , but persons who are chosen can rofnso each other if the choose The only exception to the latter rule is with missionaries , who occasionally apnd for wives from their distant sta lions. Some years ago a missionary in India wrote to the Bethlahom com munity , in this state , and having announced nouncod the demise of his spouse , requested quested that a second wife should be chosen and sent out to him , and added od that ho desired a stout , short help mate , as his first wife was of tha shape and stature and had loft an excellent collent wardrobe behind her. Ho received ceivod the dcircd person. MAUHIAm : UKdUI.ATIONS. Some utrango laws for rogulatiii ] and promoting marria cB existed ii the primitive colonies of the country In 1005 the local authorities o Eartham , Mass. , voted that every un married man in the township shouli kill six blackbirds or three crow yearly while single , and that as a pen ally for not obeying the order , h should not got married until he hat destroyed the requisite number in ar rears. A former tax in Maryland was iiv shillings yearly to every bachelor possessed sossed of 100 , and twenty shilling on all bachelors and widowers whc own 800. It does not appear tha spinsters or widows were ever taxed probably from the reason that no wo man refuses a chance if she can help it So much interesting matter conh bo written about the many forms ani customs which have been observed a t-oiiio tune ur pluoo in tuo oelubrutiui of the most important happenings ir the lives of every man and woman- marriage thai only a moro outline can bo iivon ; in tin's article , but a fe\\ of the observances among the aborig Inal inhabitants of North and Soutl America are worth the telling. Ii the majority of the North Amoricar tribes , or the redskins , no man coulc marry in his own tribe under ponalt ) of death. In Aztec Mexico , a youn man consulted the oracles bofor ho took a wife and afto the ceremony ho always car ried his wife homo on his back , Th pagans of Peru had several wives , bu the first ono was supreme over the ro maindor. When a now wife was desired sired the wonld-bo husband wont t the father's ' houao and placed a pocul ( it * ar sort of shoo on the foot of the la- ly with whom ho was onamorod. If ho was a virgin the shoo was of wool , if a widow of rush. In the nib an Islands it is customary fora lowly-marricd pair to retire to the woods for a honeymoon nnd pass their imo in hunting. In Cuba husband find wife had equal rights of divorce. Among tlio Ottmoaquos nn old man vas always united to a young woman md a young man loan old woman , ho reason of such union being that i f.vos supposed tlmt the discretion of go would curb Iho impetuosity of outh. With some South American ndians a virgin was never chosen for wife. After marriage the triclesl virtue was expected in wiyos. Squaws of all Indian natives vhoso husbands had been killed in war wore permitted to choose a uc- essor among the captives reserved or torture.
