alder thrmoclvcg In duty bound lo consume as
many of thoBe delectable articles of lood as
their capacity will admit of. Tne young lolks,
luoic etpeeially In the rural district-, make
elaborate pirpnratlons hoiorehand lor the teat
by alily hiding, trom time to time, as many
fwi they canpofMbly lav bauds on. In addition
o those which aro prepared for the table,
numbers are boiled uu.U they aro as hard as

acr. irovided wiib u pocket lullol these, the
urchin Rallies lorth, and, encountering another
who lias a similar store, the operation of "pick
inK"commeiices, the epus wnose shells receive
JJie first lractuie becoming a iorleit, out ot com
pliment to tho excessive baidunss of their
opponents.
In Knpland this and clnillar customs were
formerly universal, but now t'ley ute ignored by
all except the ehildieu and t ie peasantry of
some sections. Other peculiar customs prevail,
however, to a considerable extent In different
Pections orthe kii gdom. Xhus, iu the counties
ol tstallotd, W arwlcb, Lam as er and Cheshire,
the process ot li'tinp" or "heavuiu" is extcii
Pively practised. On Monday the women, and
on Tuesday the men, umcrao the op-'Mtion of
beuig titled up two or tlirpf ti nes, and olten of
be I n it carried a considerable instance, by thoao
ol the opposite sex, who joiu their hands across
each other's wrists, by ay of a i-eal. In the
county of Durham, the men claim the bieu
lionor of unlacins the women's shoes oa Mon
day, and the buter reciprocate tnis delicate
attention on the toliowiuu day. In days ot old
It was a universal ciismm for both the cleruy
and people to play at bull m the churches lor
taufy cakes. I'hP.-e canes were flavored with
the utter and sirunBly scented lunectvm vnt
gorf, or coniinoD tansy, as a symbol 01 the Serbs
ot the paschal least. At the comiui-ucemrnt of
the Auliphon, th3 bishops anu deans threw the
ball to the choristers, bv wtiom'it was passed
buck aaxl lorth, the bisiiopa aud dean mean
while dauctne in their merriest nle. Then
came the least, ol wblcL a aajniou of bacon
formed a part, to express a lively abhorrence of
the Jews. Commemorative of those customs,
we have tho following sinuza of an old poem:
"At football, Lucia, let us piay,
Kor fiugur, cuues, or wiue;
Or for a tansy lot us pay,
The loss be thine or mine.
If thou, my dear, u winner be
At trundling, of i lie b.ill,
Tlie wager thou shall have, and lue,
And luy wiaforluues all."
ThlB somewhat pacnligious custom is no
longer in vogue, but iu rou e parts oi England
tauay cakes and tansy puddings are still favo
rites on the table at Kauter. In the counties of
Devon and Dorset, the pur.rh clem is accus
tomed to carry around to each house, alter
divine service on tiood fMday, au duster odor
ing in the lorin of very thin cakes with a ming
ling of bitter and sweet in their taste, in return
for which he is recomoensed accord in i; to the
means or disposition of the recipients. During
the last century it was the cu..tom ol the parish
of Biddenden, Kent, to dir-tribjte a large num
ber ot cakes aud loaves of breal, together with
a quantity of cheese, among the poor, on the
alternoon ot Raster Sundaj. This distribution
vras supported by an olu endowment of twenty
acres, called the ''Bread aud Cheese Lands."
The Easter Customs of Chester,
But in tho ancient and cunons ci'y of Chester
the Easter festivities were more elaboraie tnan at
any other place in the kingdom. In early times,
on Easter Monday, tne Mayor and other corpo
rate authorities, together 1 h the members of
the twenty guilds, went torrh in solemn proces
sion to the Kood-eje, or meadow, to engage in
the dignified game of lootball. The ceremonies
commenced with the presentation by tne guild
of shoemakers ot a lootball ot the value of
"three and tourpence or above," which was
received by the Ma. or, as he stood
be lore a hign cross in the cen
tre of the meadow, equipped with his
ewora, mace, and cap of maintenance. The
game then began, but we are told that fre
quently ''gieate striie did arise among the
younge persous of the stine cUue;" and to avoid
this, in the days of He..ry Till the old custom
was done away with, and various other cere
monies instituted in its stead. One ol these
consisted in a presentation, by the shoemakers
to the drapers ot six cleaves or silver baud-darts,
to be awarded to the most successful in a loot
race. The saddlers, likewise, mounted on horse
back and splendidly accoutred, eacli one bearing
a spear with a wooden bail, wo ch was deoo
rated with arms and Ho weis, sallied forth and
presented to the Mavor a silver bed, which was
intended as a "rewarde for that horse which
with speedy ronniuge should run before all
there."
In these right merry days the practice ot
archery was also indulged in, the reward for
the best shot being provided the recent bride
grooms of the city, and consisting ot a hand
some silver arrow. When this custom hrst
originated it consisted in a shooting match
between the two (sheriffs for a breakfast of
calves' head aud bacon. The affair was con
ducted with due solemnity, a proclamation
being sounded through the city, in response to
which the jouihiul athletes all repaired to the
Eood-eye, where the Suertifs selected their
champions in turn, until they numbered twelve
score. The shooting over, the winners started
iu procession to the Town Hall to partake of
the feast, each one bearing his arrow in his
hand, while the losers followed, with their !
bows alone. In 1640, however, a foot
race for a piece of plate was substituted lor
the breakfast of calves' head. But in 1674
it was decided that the lacter was esta
blished by ancient usage, and could not thus be
done away with at the option of the sheriffs,
who were, on a subsequent occasion, hned ten
pounds tor not complying with the decision.
The custom of "lilting" was also extensively
practised, a chair being used for the purpose,
-which was lined with rich white silk, and
ornamented with garlands and streamers.
In addition to these customs, the churches
were adorned like tho theatres, and great
crowds of people frequented them to view a
epulchre representing the entomoinent of tiie
Saviour. It whs at this time generally believed
that the second coming ot our Lord would be
on the eve of Eater-day, and the sepulchre
-was watched throughout the niitnt until 3
o'clock iu the morning. At that hour the two
eldest monks entered, and look out a beautiful
i image of tho Uesurrectiou, which, duriug the
eingiugof the anthem, Caristusresurgens, was
1 elevated before the worshipping throng. Ic was
taen placed upon the nit'li altar, and covered
by a canopy of velvet, and a piocesslon being
formed, the image was earned aro jnd the exte
rior of the cLorch, amid the elare of torches,
and accompanied by singing, shouting, and
praying. Returning to the hieh altar, the
image was again deposited upon it, there to
remain until Ascension-day.
Easter Among the Tyrolean
is still celebrated In a very primitive, but very
impresiive manner. The hardy people who in
habit the Vorarlberg mountains have as yet
been scarcelv affected by the ctvilizatiou bv
which they are surrounded on all sides. They
still crAnnrve a
iree aua inuepouueut (spirit,
lenoniiir the DOiite habits, as well as the follies,
of their neighbors. When they were for the
first time subjected to the surveillance ol a
police, less than twenty years asro, the remon
strances were loud and deep, and it was pro
claimed, happily with a great deal of truth, that
there was no necessity i or the innovation, as
robbery ana murder were outgrowth9 or civtitza
tion entirely unknown to them.
It is natural that such a people should profess
me most implicit oer,ci in all the dotfiuas or tne
Church. Thev accordingly honor the Kaster
reason with all reverence, as the anniversary of
the resurrection ot our Lord, which by them is
regaraea as vne most tangible proot ot revela
tion.' The manner in which they celebrate this
event Is somewhat peculiar. The Tyro ese have
idwaya been noted tor their cultivation ot music,
and on ine evening preceuing Kaster Sunday
very vallev in their wildly mountainous conn-
try is traversed by bands of singers, who chant
their beautiful Easter carols, to the accompani
ment of the guitar.
The oeople flock to the doors of their cottages
to listen to the merry itraius, and join with
the minstreli in singing the choruses. The
Biwrer. have 110 exoeeuMKij Krowau .ppwr.
pace imparted to them by their wide-brimmed
Ppanlsh sombreros, trimmed with garlands.
The children follow them in troops, and when
the duFk of eve approaches, iheae last lient up
(he scene of their Journeys with the ularo ot
Pine-wood torches. The good woman of each
houce always has on hand an assortment ot hard
boiled eegi., some of them variegated with the
brightest colors, and others imprinted with ap
propriate mottoes, which are bronchi lorth and
distributed at the close of io mus.cal cntertain
nietiti whilowlnp is likewise furni-hed Ireely
at the houses of the more wealthy farmers.
Kaster tasdiy at Koine,
The moruiwr of Kaster Sunday at Rome
heralds a season ol great rcjoicinu, in honor ot
the resurrection ana new mo oi u.ni
whose Fassion on the Cross has been tho
occasion ot such itnpre-.slve Bolenttiiiie during
the preceding week. Preparations lor the cere
monials ol the day have been projire-sini; lor i
some time past, and everyittltie is conducted in
the most imposing manner. . With the break ot
day the gieat guns ot 81. Angelo pr ictatni iu
their loudest tones tho joy wh.cli should till the
hearts of men. As early as 7 o'clock iu the
morning the people begin to assemble at St.
Peter's, goiiiE thither in numberless carriages.
The great Cathedral is roaenitlceuily decorated,
the altars being loaded ith ornaments, while
the lights around the tomb and tmaite ot the.
Patron Saint of the Christian world are In full
blaze, alter their temporary extinction.
The maws is celebrated by the Holy l-'athet in
person, with the most impressive and solemn
accompaniments. Seating himself iq the oecfia
Gestatona, or hair ol mie, hp l borne Irom a
hull in the Vatican into the body of the church. !
His robes are blazing with ornaments of gold;
on his brow le wears the gilded triple croffti or :
tiara, to represent both spiritual aud temporal i
Eowcr, and a union of the to; on either side is i
orne a large Ian of ostrich, featners, ciubel
lihhed wuh the "eye" oi peaoct feathers, to
sienity tho vigilance of the Church j aud over all
is a rich canopy of trinped silk.
Alter the 1'outibcal Hih Mass is concluded,
with the game ceremony, aud to the sound of j
music, the Holy lather is Dome bick tbroagti
the ciowd which tills the church, when he
appeals on the balcony immediately over tne
main entrance. Rising trom his chair of htsie,
in the midst of the bigaest dignitaries oi the
Church, he pronounces the Papal benediction,
accompanied with the granting ol indulgences
and abi-oiution.
The crowd which assembles in front of St.
Peter's, to witness ibis ceremony, which is tne
most imposing ot all those at this season of the
sear, is very great more especially under tho
balcony, where there is a ureit scramble tor the
copies of the Latin praters uitcred ou this occa
sion, which are then distriouted among the
people. A few yeais ago, in addition to the
customary multitude, there were likewise pre
sent at this ceremony ten thousand French
troops. The day is closed with a brilliant illu
mination ol the dome and other portions of the
great Cathdral.
