Every lover of scriptural tititiiptities must
veneritte the aiicicritciistoiiis of the patriarclis
of old. Tlicse Ct.‘SlOlIlS have been prescrvet
by the .Tctvs to this day, as COl1fil‘m(-‘Ll by the
lD.\\-'g‘l\'c‘I‘ of Moses. 'l‘hrough all the vicis-
Sill]-’.lCS and pcrstcutions of their nation, it is
almost tniraculous that they should so care-
fully have adhered to the customs of their
fathers without the sliglitcst deviation, yet
such is the fact. None amongst natioiis
have been so strictly zealous as the Teivs of
their ancient cerenionies, to reinain in fact
“ a peculiar people.” The marriage ofthe
Jews in itself has mtich scriptttr-al lntL’.l'(‘St
from the circumstance ofits being performed
precisely as it was some 3000 or more years
since.
On entering the room was seen Rabbi L.
Chapman, priest of the Jews, from Birthing-
ham, occupied in writing the inari‘iuge con-
tract upon a parchment. The Rabbi liaviiig
concluded the contract, handed it to others
present to read, and then to the bridegroorri,
who, after apparently well considering the
contents, which lvere written in the Hebrew
language, signed the same, as also did two
witnesses. This being duly executed, the
bridegroom was conducted from the room. a-
gain, the bride being all this time invisible.
A canopy was then erccted,_being supported
by four persons of the Jewish faith, and so-
lemn strains ofmusic announced the approach
of the bridegroom. The reverend oflici-ate
having placed himself beneath the canopy,
the bridegroom was ititroduced, supported on
both sides by two male friends. ’ ‘ _
Again the sound of music proclaiming
the approach ofthc bride who was similarly

iful to both; but implicit submission in a
supported, but by two ladies. The bridiil
dress was strictly SCl'lplLll'i1l, the maiden was
attired in pure white, covered with a veil, as
in Gcriesis ‘.24, G5. The music having ceased,
the bride, still supported as before, was
thrice led rourid l'iet' future husband. T'l"c
believe that this eniaiiatcs frorri the marriage
of Jacob and Le:1li—-Jacob having his bride
vcilcd, triai'ricd Leah instead of Racliacl,
Genesis 29, ‘.26. For this reason the bride-
grooin has an opportunity of ascertaining
from the gait or figure of his intt-iidt-d wife, as
has no opportunity of reading her counte-
riaiicc through the folds of her veil. Hav-
ing thus circled round him she was placed
on the right side oflier future Lord.
The priest proceeded then to pronounce a
blessing upon all present, lioltling at the
time it glass of wine in his hand whicli, af-
ter the conclusion of a prayet', was liuntlcd
by a friend to the happy couple, in token of
peace with all the world; tlic_v._ hnviiig sip-
pctl the same, modestlv i'cttirncd it. The rov-
crciid and veiierablc Rabbi then p‘i'OCQc‘(lt‘t.l to
read alottd the document bt-fore described,
then a second glass was filled, and a prti_vci'
offei‘cd up for the fixture grace of the new
(.‘(>ttplt‘, and the second glass was tasted by
both the young people, in toltcii OfCOl'1St,’l1llO

williiigly, and the ring being linntli-d to the
Rabbi, he first exliibitcd it to others, and then
c.\'airiined it himself. lletlicn gave it to the
bi‘idegi‘ocm, who placed it upon the fore fin-

Nri._un.-’co2t.-—-A London editor, after cliron- 5
icling the determination of the Frencli Gov-l
eriimcnt to bring the bones of Napoleon from l
St. Hcleiiti, and bury them in the soil of
France, makes the followiiig comments:
“ It seems sirigtilarthat so VilSl.lpOlll.li(‘€ll com-
binations as those of wliicli he was at the head
have left so little trace of their CXlSlC£’llC€.-'-
His only direct descendant is dead; the
thrones oftlie different meiiibers of his fami-
ly-—Spain, Naples, \V(-‘slpllttlltl, I-lolliind—
have all passed away, after the lapse of less
than a qti-.‘trter of a century. Europe has
settled down under nearly the same territo-
rial deiriarcations as those he overthrew,
and fancied he had obliterated. On the soil
to which his bones are now rcveretitly borne
all of his name and blood are forbidden by
law to set foot; and ifthey are interred with
royal splendor hard by the tombs of the kings
whose t'hrones.he usurped, it is because all
Europe feels that with himself his dynasty
perished—-tliat= be neither had, nor can have,
a successor.”

TI-IE CRISIS on THE COUNTRY.

Such is the title of one of the’ tnost clear-'

and Finance on which the People are soot’.-‘
to pronounce a final judgment,‘ai‘id spealts‘
to the heart of every honest, unprejudiccd‘
lover of his country. The intrinsic charac-
ters and inevitable effects of the Credit
tcm and No-Credit System are thrilliiigiv
contrasted, and the great interest of everl-
workihg man‘, but especial every poor l’Ilt'-ill,‘

prices of property and labor are gradtiam-d

It is also obvious that the scheme oftlie Inde-

the currency of the country to hard t'iit)'net';
and this is likely to be the effect of its ftill
