Bko. 7. That the issue of the bigam- ous or polygamous marriages known as Mormon marringes, in cases where *‘I entirely set my face against the extravagant expenditure now so fash- ionable at weddings,” said a prominent clergyman yesterday, who was dis- cussing a recent sacrifice at the hyme- nial altar, with a reporter of the Preas. I certainly think that every solem- nity is due to 80 sacred u rite as mar- riage, and that the occasion should be one of seemly rejoicing amidst the families thus to become united. Itis the lavish display of attire on the part of the bridge and guests, the large sums wasted on fl'il’lfi decorations and collations, the European honeymoon tours which are undertaken by couples whose marital means must necessitate the closest economy-— these are the matters which I consider so reprehen- sible. In all such things the fashion has been set by people in society, whose wealth precluded pecuniary considerations; but the slavish imita- tion which has ensued frequently en- tails severe privations to parents, and often a load of debt on the shlousrde of the newly-wedded pair.” While many sensible people will approye of the remarks made by the reverend gentlemen, there is some ex- cuse for the practice, when it is re- membered that pomp, display, ex- rcndituro and publ ¢ rejoicing have beon in all ages and in every clime. Marrriage, whether among the early Egyptians or ancient Romans, or our own European forefathers, and even among the aboriginal inhabi- tunts of the countries now impre nated with civilization, have all al- ways boen occasions of much festiy- ity, and some of the quaint proceeed- ings obseryed by different nation- alities at various periods of their history, are of a very interesting de- seription, BARBARIC CUSTOMS, Amoug the barbaric nations women were always regarded as the spoils of war, aud the general mode of marriage was to capture a wife; the rape of the Sabines may be given as an illustra. tion of this. Strange to say an imita- tion of this savage usage still existsin a very modified form in portions of Wales. It is customary with the such marriages have been solemnized according to the ceremonies of the Mormon church in any territory of the United States, and such issue shall have born since the 1st day of Janu- ary, anno domini 1883, are hereby le- gitimated, Skc. 8, That no polygamist, big- amist, or any person uohfl:iting wifi: more than one woman, and no woman cohabiting with any of the persons de- saribod wa uforesaid in this section in thia territory or other place other than that in which the United States have exclusive jurisdiction, shall be enditled to vote at any election held in such territory or any other place or be eligible for election or appoint- ment, or be entitled to hold any office or place of public trust, honor or emolument, in, under or for any such territory or place, or under the United States. Sko. 9. That all registration oftices of every description in the territory of Utah are hereby declared vacant, and each and every duty relating to the registration of voters, the conduct of elections, receiving or rejection of votes or canvassing and returning of the same and issuing certificates or other evidence of election in such ter- }nmnntry for a bridegroom to assem- blo his friends and make a sham at- tack on another party of young men who surround the bride and pretend to be carrying her to the mountains. After much show of resistance the de- fonders of the lady give up the strug- glu and she is taken away in triumph her lover. While on the subject of Welch marriages it should be added that the approaching event is always adverti in the local papers, and strangers alike ure inviwl w be pre- sent and contribute their quota to- ward the new housohold. Early Eng. lish marriages were occasions of re- joicing. Some of the customs observed were of a nature which would greatly shock the refinement of the present duy, but relics of such proceedin, are still to be found in modern wed- dings. Satin favors worn be guests, for instance, represent the small pieces of the bride’s garters, which were distributed among the grooms- men and pioned on the right breast. Bridesmaids are the descendants of the Saxon maidens, whose duties were to disrobe the bride. The throwing of old shoes was an_intimation to the bride that henceforth she had no fur- ther claim on the home she had left. Flowers and rice showered at the pair ! " are reminiscences of an unpleasant habit which was prevalent in eastern countries, The bridegroom was pelt- od with stones by the girl friends of the bride as a remonstrance against her leaving their ranks, and some- times husband and wife were severely hurt. THE WEDDING RING, The ring necessary to Christien marriages is the most ancient of all observances, and ona that is clearly traced to heathen sources. Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and many other ancient nations used wedding rings. They were made of iron, gold, brass and copper, and generally had some inscription inscribed upon them, such as “May you live long,” “I bring good fortune to the wearer.” Other rings which have been discovered in ancient sepulchres have keys eneraved upon them, evidently as an indication of the wife's domestic guthority. Among the Jews the marriage rings were generally jewelled, The wed- ding ring of Joseph and Mary, which was sold by a Jerusalem jeweler to Marquis of Etruria in 906, was com- posed of onyx or amethyst, a matter which can now be no longer satifac- torily settled, as some fifty Catholic churches ossess a ring which is vnuchersfl to be the only and original ring worn by the Divine Mother. The Christian church made the placing of the ring on the wo- man’s hand an imperative portion of the nuptial union, but, strange to say, while adopting the pagan custom, it did not dofine the material of which the ring should be made, so that some ludicrous substances haye done ser- yice in instances where the mnervous bridegroom has forgotten to bring the necessary circlet in his waistcoat pocket ~ The church key and curtain rings have more than once been brought into requisition, and a few years ago a wedding was solemnized in Boston at which the ring was a circle of kid cut from the bride- groom's glove. It is an error to sup- pose that a ring containing precious stones cannot be used; they were very fashionable in the Middle ages, and even later. Mary, Queen of Scots, had three wedding rings, twoin gold and the center one an entire circle of diamonds. Rings used to be placed on the bride’s right hand, as is still the custom in Ger- many. In England, a century ago, marriage rings, although put on the secona finger of the left hund at the church ceremony, were atterwards worn on the thumb. The society of F'riends are among the fewv Christian sects who dispense with this symbol of the marriage relation, its heathenish origin being the alleged reason. Many Quaker ladies]wear them, nevertheless. The old Puritans had the same prej- udices us the Friends, and in ““Hudi- bras” a passage refers tc it as follows: Others were for abolishing That tool of matrimony, a :ing, With which the uusanctify’d bridegroom |, T's marry'd only to & thumb: (As wise as rioging of a pig That used to br -ak up ground and dig.) The bride to nothing but her will That nulls the after-mariiage siil. Butler's verse gives the impresssion that wedding-rings were worn on the thumb at a much earlier period than the reign of the Georges. With cur grandparents it used to be customary whenever a man mar- ried anheiress to advertise that fact in the public papers. For instance: ‘‘John Brown to Miss Mary Jones and £20,000.” Marriage in a smock was an old adage, which was observed by widows who had incurred debt and wished to remarry without encumber- ing their new husbands with their pe- cuniary burdens. It was supposed if a man teok a wife with nothing on but a single garment, he would be freed from the risk of being sued for her ante-marriage debts, and within a few years a wedding took place m England at which the bride stood up at the altar to be married with noth- ing on her but a sheet wrapped around 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 him. In New York, in 1784, this ac- tually occurred, but the man waa sub- sequently hanged for the murder of the woman whose devotion saved his life on the previous occason. Mar- riage by lot is atill the rule amcng the Moravians, but persons who are chosen can refuse each other if the choose. The only exception to the latter rule is with missionaries, who occasionally send for wives from their distant sta- tions. Some years ago a missionary in India wrote to the Bethlahem com- munity, in this state, and having an- nounced the demise of his spouse, re- quested that a second wife should be chosen and sent out to him, and add- ed that he desired a stout, short help- mate, as his first wife was of that shape and stature and had left an ex- cellent wardrobe behind her. He re- ceived the daeeired person, MARRIAGE REGULATIONS, Some strange laws for regulating and promoting marriages existed in the primitive colonies of the country, In 1695 the local authorities of Eartham, Mass., voted that every un- married man in the township should kill six blackbirds or three crows yearly while single, and that as a pen- alty for not obeying the order, he should not get married until he had destroyed the requisite number in ar- rears, A former tax in Maryland was five shillings yoarly to overy buchelor pos- sessed of £100, and twenty shillings on all bachelors and widowers who own £300, It does not appear that spinsters or widows were ever taxed, probably from the reason that no wo- man refuses a chance if she can help it, 80 much interesting matter could be written about the many forms and customa which have been observed at LOIG e oF place in tue celvbration of the most important happenings in the lives of every man and woman— marriage —that only a mere outline can be given in this article, but a few of the observances nmon&th» aborig- inal inhabitants of North and South America are worth the telling. In the majority of the North American tribes, or the redskins, no man could marry in his own tribe under penalty of death, In Aztec Mexico, a young man consulted the oracles before he took a wife and after the ceremony he always car- ried his wife homo on his back, The pagans of Peru had several wives, but the first one was supreme over the re- mainder. When a new wife was de- sired the would-be husband went to the father's house and placed a pecul- SATUKRDA Y. r sort of shoe on the foot of the la- dy with whom he was enamored. If she was a virgin the shoe was of wool, if a widow of rush. In the O il b an Islands it is customary fora newly-married pair to retire to the woods for a honeymoon and pass their time in hunting. In Cuba husband and wife had equal rights of divorce. Among the Ottmoaques an old man was always united to a young woman and a young man toan old woman, the reason of such union being that if was supposed that the discretion of age would ourb the impetuosity of youth, With some th American Indians a virgin was never chosen for a wife, After marriage the strictest virtue was expected in wives, Squaws of all Indian natives whose husbands had been killed in war were permitted to choose a uc- cessor among the captives reserved for torture. il The Law of Kindness Tn universal; it affocts all the human family, all xnimals, and may be even found in patint nedicines, Some are drastic, wud the patient 1n obligsd to sufter phins worse than the disease; but in cases of ob- stinate constipation, dyspepsia, there is no remedy o kind, so gentle in itseffects, and vet 8o satisfactory, as BUrDOCK BLoon Birrers, Price $1 00, trial size 10 cents.
