Marriage celebrations and marriage customs followed in the new world many of the customs of the old world. Sackposset, the drink of Shakespeare’s time, a rich, thick concoction of boiled ale, eggs and spices, was drunk at New England weddings, as we learn from the pages of Judge Sewall’s put it did not furnish a very gay il, for the Puritan posset-drink- ing was preceded and followed by the singing of a psalm—and such a psalv along. tedious drawling performance from the Say Psalm Book. The bride and groom and_ bridal party walked ina little procession to the meeting-house on the Sabbath fol- lowing the marriage. We read in tt Sewall diary of a Sewall bride th “coming out.” or “walking-out bride. as it was called in Newburyport. Cot- ton Mather thought it expedient to thus make publie with due dignity the marriage. In some communities the attention of the interested publie was further drawn to the newly married couple in what seems to us a v comic fashion. On the Sabbath fol- lowing the wedding a gayly dressed bride and groom occupied a prominent seat in the gallery of the meeting- house and in the middle of the sermon they rose and slowly turned round to display complacently on every side their wedding finery. ‘ In Larned’s “History of Windham County, Conn we read a description of such a scene in Brooklyn, Conn. Further attention was paid to the bride by allowing her to choose the text for the sermon preached the first Sunday of the coming-out of the newly- married couple. Much ingenuity was exercised in finding appropriate and unusual Bible texts for these wed- wa ding sermons. The instances are well known of the marriage of Parson Smith's two daughters, one of whem selected the text: , has chosen that good part;” while the daughter Abby, who married John Adams, de- cided upon the text: “John came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and | ye say he hath a devil.” | This latter ingenious and curious choice has given rise to an incorrect notion that the marriage of Abigail Smith with John Adams was distaste- ful to her family. Mr. Charles Francis Adams says that this supposition is en- tirely unfounded, and that old Presi- dent Adams would fairly rise in his grave and denounce any such slander should it become current.

At eleven the royal lady goes out, dressed in black, for her morning airing, in a species of bath chair, drawn by a pony and led Francis Clark, John Brown's sue- cessor and cousin, who, of course, dis- plays his stalwart proportions in kilts. Once a week the chair is drawn down to the churchyard, and the queen in- spects the grave of the faithful and departed John Brown. The village, too, is often visited, and her majesty thinks no shame of herself purchasing serges and flannels to distribute among the poor at the one little shop kept by Mrs. Symons. At 12:30 she returns to the castle, freshes herself with an egg beaten in milk, and is then ready tosee Sir Henry Ponsonby, her private + ary, and the minister in attendanc Luncheon is the queen's favorite meal, and she is then pleased to converse in a lively fashion, discussing the news of the day, and often showing a fund of amusing anecdote. In the afternoon she again drives out, and often stops for tea at, some cottage on the estate, where a room is specially reserved for such emergencies. Humble friends of the queen are visited, and sometimes she is pleased to use her sketching materi- als. After her return an hour is de- voted to the little grandchildren, and there is an interval of rest before the nine o'clock dinner, after which her majesty, though she is such an early riser, usually spends two hours or more with her private secretary. cocoa } herself | Boston Transcript, is on the little distance from the c¢ majesty goes to it in a too. 2a a some Francis Clark, by the v vis of the same type as his cousin, John Brown, but, althongh he is deservedly loved by his mistress, he would not venture upon the liberties his predecessor was privileged to take. Some funny and authentic anecdotes were told me by my friend of the faithful Brown. One day, during his time. the queen was preparing to sketch near Glassalt Shie!, where she had spent the previous night. Even the queen sometimes “vets out of bed on the wrong side,” and this hap- pened to be such amorning. One table after another was brought from the Shiel until the supply wasexhausted and the servants were plunged in despair, but yet none of them suited her fretful majesty. At last John Brown took one of the rejected articles and set it down rather hard and with much decision before his mistress. **They canna mak’ one for ye,” said he. ‘The queen could but ‘augh; the table was accepted and amiability restored. Sometimes her majesty would appear ready for her drive in some comfortable old cloak of far from prepossessing appearance, but of this descent from royal dignity the servitor strongly disapproved. ‘And what kind of a thing is that ye've got on the day?” he would grimly say, and the good-natured sovereign would usu- ally dress to please her attendant on the next occasion of the kind. The Indian empire is represented in the royal household by her majesty’s Indian secretary, and her personal at- tendent, a very handsome Asiatic, who is always gorgeously appareled in searlet. white and gold. And these men have their servants and their own suite of apartments in the castle, where the fragrance of curry is said never to be absent. The queen is very good to her servants and takes great in- terest in their personal welfare. And of course the happiness of her humble subjects helps to make her happiness. sut I wonder how many women would be contented with the dull and hum- drum life led during the larger portion of the year by England's queen.

The second class com- |prises lawyers, parsons and profes- | sional men, while cless three consists | of the balance of the population. For | patients belonging to the first class | the fee is limited to 5 rubles, or $2.75, | for each consultation; those forming | the second class may pay not more i than 3 rubles, or £1.65, while the cost | of medica! advice to the masses is lim- | ited to 20 kopecks, or 19 cents.
