M.-iRKIAGE. CUSTOMS AND LAWS.
The- importance of regulating mar
viaiic has U'cn recognized m all civil
countries, liy the laws of Ly
cn.gus.crim nalptoceedwi might be
taken against those who married too
1,W a. well as against those who did
not' marry at all. Among the Jews
marriage is permitted to males at the
age of thirteen and a day to females
at twelve and a day.
In this country marriage is, by law,
only a civil contract, magistrates as
Delias clergymen having a right to
celebrate. The age of consent at com
mon law is fourteen in males and
twelve in females. When a pe.son

can, when he or she arrives at the age
above speeihetl, avow im.
uch 1-ersun, or both may if the ot
er is of h-al age, confirm it. II cuh
.... r .i,"rities is. under seven, the
.n.,,. is void. The parties must
Mich be iilir.g to marry the other. J t
cither party acts under compulsion, or
is under duress, the aiarriage u voiu-
hQ.. t-i.i no male can be married
under the age of fourteen ; no lemales
nnder that uf twelve. Civil marriages
take place, on due public notice of in
tention before a Registrar but more
trennally in a place of worship. It in
a church of the i'rotestant l-.ptscc pal
denomination, public announcement
of intention must be given by the cler
gymen, durimi morning worship, on
three successive Sundays. This is
called -publishing the banns," and
marriage can be celebrated in church
only between eight o'clock in the
morning and noon. In a marriage by
license, which costs about eleven dol
lars, the banns need not be published,
liv a special license, which costs $lo0,
a marriage may be solemnized in any
church, without notice and at any
hour, and even in a private house.
In Austria, bride and bridegroom
must each have completed the age of
fourteen. In liavaria, the legal age of
marriage varies, for males, from four
teen uTeightecn, and for females from
thirteen to fifteen, in dill'ercnt districts.
In IJaden, the law allows a man to
marry at eighteen and a woman at fif
teen ; but the consent ot parents is
necessary until they have respectively
completed the ages of twenty-five and
twenty-one. Consent being withheld,
the young people cannot appeal, as in
Austria. In Saxe-Coburg (Jotha, no
male can marry before he is twenty
one vears old. Females may marry,
if they have been confirmed, at the age
of fourteen. In Denmark, the ages
are twenty for the man and sixteen
for the gill. The Minister of Justice
may dispense with the rule. In
France, no men marry before eighteen ;
no woman before "fourteen. Under
the old monarchy, the ages were four
teen and twelve.' liy the ancient laws
of France, the age for a male was
thirty, and twenty-five for a female.
In Hesse Darmstadt the rule was that
the man must be tw enty-five ; but this
was reduced seven years ago to twenty-one,
and the number of marriages
lias much increased in consequence.
There is no l:mit as to the girl's age,
it leini left to the parents or guar
dians to take care that no mere child
is wedded. In Greece, males cannot
marry before fourteen nor females be
fore twelvj years of age. In the
Ionian Islands, now a pait of (iieecc,
the age is sixteen for the male and
fourteen for the female. In Hungary,
the Catholic (or sacramental) mar
riages are regulated by canon law,
other marriages by civil law. Under
cannon law, the ages are fourteen and
twelve, and minors cannot wed without
the father's consent. The civil law
also fixes twelve as the earliest age at
which a girl may mairy. Men cease
to 1m; minors at twenty-four and women
at sixteen. A minor's marriage, with
out paternal consent, is null and void.
In Italy, the legal marriage is above
the usual standard, being eighteen for
males and sixteen for females. In
Lapland, the age is seventeen for
males. In Norway, no limit of age is
rerp.iircd. In Sweden, it is twenty-one
for males and fifteen for females. In
the Netherlands, eighteen in the case
of males and twelve for females. In
l'ortniral. fourteen for males and
twelve for females. In Prussia,
eighteen for males ami fourteen for le
males, and a laie law has made mar
riage merely a civil contract, like the
leasing of a house. In Iloumania, the
Ages are eighteen for males and lil'tevn
for females! In Saxony, the limits of
age are eighteen for males and sixteen
for females; in Spain, fourteen for
males ami twelve for females. In
Switzerland, the limits vary from
fourteen to twenty for males and
twelve to eighteen for females, accord
ing to the Cantonal and other laws.
In Turkey, thcie is no age limitation.
In Wurtemburg, the limit is fixed at
twenty -one for males and fourteen for
ft males. In Itustiia, the legal mar
iiMrfi irres are eighteen and sixteen.
There are exceptions, however, for the
natives of Caucasus may marry, the
m-des at fifteen and the females at
thirteen ; and ir. some special cases
the Russian Bishop of the diocese can
mitlift-i7 .a marriasre six months be
fore the period allowed by law, either
for the male or the female. In the
Urarul DikIiv of Finland, which is
part of the Russian Territory, no mar
riage is allowed to be contracted, with
out supreme authority, before the age
of twenty one for males and fifteen for
females, except for peasants engaged
in service by the year, or those having
nnv fixed trade or occupation, who are
allowed to many at the age of eigh
teen for males and thirteen lor females.
In the principal Oriental countries,
'J in key-in-Asia, Arabia, Persia, lirit-i-di
India, Siam, liurinali. Ava, and in
f n-l all over the Fast, where maturity
m M..ner utl-ainu .. the nuptial period
i -.1 what., with us. i in iiiho tile :ige
(iiiluof -i lit or niiie are fivpie.itly
married to youths of twelve. The re
sult is that there often may be seen
giandmothers at twenty two, who look
as old at that age as European and
well-cared-for American women do at
fifty-five. Usually with the ancient
inhabitants of the Fast, the bride was
obtained by presents made or services
rendered to her parents a practice
which still prevails in some parts of
that region.
In the Old Testament historj' we
find intermixed marriages of the wor
shipers of (Jod with the heathen na
tions around them strictly forbidden
hy Divine authority.
Plurality of wives was allowed by
Moses, and has been admitted by tire
Talnmdists ; and Jewish harems, of
their Princes particularly, 'vere some
times extremely extensive. Accord
ing to the modern Rabbis, though
strictly legal, polygamy is not practi
cally convenient under "the chosen
leopleV' filtered circumstances. In
the tenth centurv, A P., at a great
council, it was formally declared abol
ished. The Koran gives four wives to the
believer on earth, besides the less sub
stantial houris of the future paradise.
Ilesiod advises thirty as the lowest
at which a man should take a wife,
fifteen as the feminine nuptial period.
An old adage thus lays down the
proper day 8 lor wedlock: "On Mon
day, for wealth ; Tuesday, for health ;
Wednesday, the best day of all ;
Thursday, for crosses ; Friday, for
losses; Saturday, no luck at all."
Other marriage superstitions may
be mentioned. It is K-lievcd that the
lady who reads the marriage service
through, or she who completes a
patchwork quilt without assistance,
will never be married ; also, that it is
unlucky for a bride, about to go to
church, to look in the glass after she
is completely dressed. Therefore, the
custom is that she shall put on a glove
or some other article, after the last
look in the mirror has been taken ;
also that it is lucky if the initials of a
wedded couple spell a word.
Marriage among the Ilurmcse is a
most peculiar institution, and the
"marriage knot" is vei v easily undone.
If two persons are tired of each other's
society, they dissolve partnership in
the following simple and touching,
but conclusive manner : Thej respect
ively light two candles, and, shutting
up their hut, sit down and wait quietly
until they are burned up. The one
whose candle burns out first gets up
at once and leaves the house (ami for
ever), taking nothing but that he or
she may have on at the time; all else
then becomes the property of the ether
party. Troy (X. Y.) Times.

A Hukninu Island. Some thirty
five vears asro there appeared in the
Mediterranean 8ea a little
thrown up by volcanic action;
in fact, a crater, Irom which
and cinders were still issuing:
islam.1
it was
stea m
to the
height of several hundred feet.
The
spectacle was a very grand one as
witnessed by seamen, the eruption be
ing accompanied by a laud, roaring
noise, ami discharges of forked light
ning within the ascending coluicn of
hot steam and cinders. About four
months after this the spot was visited
by a Urilish frigate, having on board
Walter Scott, w ho w as on his wa' to
Malta in search of health. The vol
canic action had so far ciased that he
w as able to land and examine this little
dependency of Jieat Kritain, and,
having an interest in anj-thing out of
the common course, lie d' cided to do
so. Mounted upon the shoulders of
a stout sailor he rode almost to the
top of the island, where he found two
dolphins a:id a robin, all dead, no
doubt from the hot temperature. On
one side steam was bubbling from the
ground, which spread itself all a;ound
the base of the island, surrounding it
as with a cloak. The atmosphere,
strongly impregnated with brimstone,
was almost sull'ocating, and if a hole
was dug in the ground, it was at once
filled with boiling water. Shortly
afterward the island disappeared as
suddenly as it sprang into existence
in a night.
A Pa pfii-M a k i Ni SniF.R. Spiders
have boeu noted so long as spinners of
the finest of &ilk, that it strikes one a
little oddly to think of one ns a pnper
mnkcr. 1 5i.it hear this tiue story that
has just heen told me:
In the heart of the African Conti
nent, where no other paper is manu
factured, the spider paper-maker does
her quiet work. Hack and forth, over
a flat surface about an inch and a half
square, on the inside wall of a hut, the
spider slowl moves in many lines and
the square is covered with a pure white
paper. Under this she places from
forty to fifty ojrgs ; and then, to fasten
the square of paper more securely to
the wall ; she makes a stiip of paper
about a quarter of an inch broad, nnd
with this glues the square carefully
around the edges.
When all is done, the spider which
is quite a large oie places herself on
the center of the outside of the little
fl;it bag fo carefully made, and begins
a watch, which is to last for three weeks
without intermission. Apparently the
young spiders would have many dan
gers to fear, did not their anxious mam
ma wage a fierce war upon the cock
roaches and other insects that come
near. After three weeks of unremit
ting watchfulness, the mother-spider
leaves her nest in the day-time to hunt
food, but she alwa3-s returns at night,
until her young are strong enough to
take care of themselves. SI. Nicholas
for April.
A gentixman who "knows all about
it," and has tried the experiment with
entire success, recommends the follow
ing remedy for bunions and corns,
from which so many suffer daily-: Ob
tain at the druggists five or bix cents
woith of saltpetre, put it into a bottle
with sufllcient olive oil to nearty dis
solve it. Shake it up weil and nib
the inflamed parts night and morn"u. T,
and more frequently if painful. This
is a well-tried remedy'.
