From the London Society, Before two Quakers could marry—that is, and remain in the society—the parties were required to attend ® meeting and publicly anvounce their intention of being wedded. A committee was then appointed, which instituted inquiries to discover, among other things, whether the ‘man was In & position to marry, and whether ‘he was (ree trom the claims of any earlier affec- tion, They inquired into the state Co his cent trys Roped his aot any objection to bis marrying, and If u¢ they saw reason to object to the wile he hud chosen. A committee of women made similar Inquiries regarding the girl, and were very par- Ucular in examining whether she bud ever flirted unwiseiy or otnerwixe misconducted her- seli, That the young couple bad not sufficient means to marry upon was not considered in iwelf an insuperable bar, tor the society, not having the tear of Malthus betore its eyes, hud @ fund from which grants could be made towards furnishing. In very early times, the parties were expected to be accompanied by (heir parents, ur @t least to bring duly signed and witnessed axsents from thei, when they at.ended to annouuce their intentivn of getting married, but this was svon given up. On w date fixed, the parties were required to aiteud another meeting, when, alter they had siated they were stil tu the same mind, uod if the committees of inquiry had reported favor- ably, perwission to murry was formally given, and a day jor tbe nuptials fixed. ‘There Was no approach to a 1ormal ceremony at tue wedding.

Coloration was long quite unintelligible, that of creatures which ure very couspicuous and often so gaudily colored as to attract attention; but it is now found that many groupesof species thus colored have a totally different kind of protection in belng endowed with such an offensive odor aud taste as to be inedible. Whote tamilies of butterfiles, moths, beetles, and other insects are now known by actual experiment to beso protected, and these in every case possess conspicuous colors, or ut all eveuits ure entirely wanting in those protective hues which churucterize tost creatures which Serve as food to others.
