Tracleg Hack the Origin and Growth el a
Fainillur Secial uustem anu Relig

Raltlmerc Day.
Tlieuslt Enfilish ronrriage was one of
the earliest achievements of civilization,
it is net one se old that oue cannot loel:
beyond it te a period in which no wedlock
worth of the name of matiimeny existed.
In following its strictly national uses te
their sources the epoch is reached in the
history of wemaukiud when every man's
title te his conjugal partner rested en bar
barous violence, and society countenanced
no matrimonial rites save these that
license authorized and physical strength
performed. This earliest system of wed
lock, by which a man obtained a wife by
the exercise of his recognized right te
capture her, was net properly extinguish
ed till a much later perieu than the sixth
century. Fer at this time, through the
sordid practices of marriage by purchase
had become general, Ethelbert 1 rained a
law which recegn;z?d in a significant man
ner the privileges of thu elder method
capture. " If a man," thn atatute reads,
" carry oil a maid by force he should pay
lifly shillings te her owner and afterward
buy her from him" the husband's title te
his wife resting thus en capture.
Iu searching for some of the rites inci
dental te a marriage by capture-, clerical
interference is uowhere discernible. But
it is net without interest te note in pass
ing that there arc some writers who Main
tain that our matrimonial usages abound
with the traces of violence anciently em
ployed for the capture of brides. Indeed,
there is scarcely a thing employed or a
custom observed in solemnization of mat
riiueny which they de net construe as a
vestige ei the obsolete use of force. The
'best man" is nothing but the warrior
who fought the pursu'-'is of the captured
damsel. The ring is symbolic of the let
ters lamentable ract 'with which the
ancient captor bound his struggling vic
tim. The shoe, thrown after the bride's
carriage, is commemorative of the missiles
hurled in liitile r.ue by outstripped rela
tives at the l cheating bridegroom. The
ill feeling that sometimes is K.aid te aii.se
between husbands' and their mother.-; in
law is declared te be a relic of the old
feud between the husband and his wife's
family. However true these analogies
may be, in many parts of Wales, Ireland
anil the north of Scotland this customs of
maniage by capture were preserved with
a i-c. mat kablu lidclity te former universal
practices Writing se late as 1803 Samp
son says of the matiimenial fashions of
the Irish meuntaineets : " However suit
able flu match It is bit a lame exploit,
and even an alfrent, if the groom does ur.t
first run away with the biide.V
Oiling b.iek te the time of the early llo lle
iisan clmr h and before Christianity bad
spread te England, we liiul marriage
looked up in by Ike church as a doubtful
geed the relative merit of marriage ami
absMisenee being a matter of warm discus
sion. The holiness and necessity of
absolute purity was se favorite a thome
with the leading c:ergy of the church, and
formed se prominent, a portion of daily
serme.iiiitd exhortations that the popular
mind ceu'.d net but le dueply impressed
with i's importance. The members of the
eh u rcli almost universally caught up the
impulsion that marriage stands in I he
way of the cultivation of piety, and !mh
eps who lived in celibacy began te be
ivg.ii Tied as mure holy than their brcth-
teii. Fins iceiing ceiiuuuuu ie gam
.strength and from it sprung that 'vtut
.system of monast.ieism which .spread
throughout Christianity with such won
derful rapidity in the fourth century.
Consequently, wedlock being at such a
discount, and having rhen out of secular
law and receiving sjjial sanction, con
tinued te be regarded as a civil contract.
However, when the
the value te itself of
church recognized
sacerdotal interfer-
euce in marriage,
such iutcrfcrcucj was
easily ushered in because the transition
from the pagan te the Christian lile was
softened by the substitution of Christian
ceremonies and saints for the festivals and
divinities of the pagan.
This accomplished, Christianity taught,
as a lcligiens dogma, that all forms of in
tercourse of the sexes ether thati lifelong
unieas wen: criminal. By the inflexible
ti aching of this dogmatism the purely
civil maniage of the later pagan empire
was gradually replaced by religious mar
riages. There it tn.ii if itt projuieiy iu
invoking a divine benediction upon an act
which forms se important an epoch in
I iff, and a mingling of a religious ccte ccte
meny impt esses a d :eper sense of the
solemnity of the contract. The essenti
ally religious and even mystical character
imparted by Christianity te marriage
rendered the consecration peculiarly
natural Had net Christ, the acknewl
edged head of the zlmich, the bridegroom
of the church, converted water into wire
at the marriage in Cana, iu Galiiee '.' He
t-night that he approved et wedlock.
Then; was also an important condition te
be attained by theologians in order te
lrniize their idea! type of m.irriie. It
was; te prevent the members of the
church from intei marrying with thofe
whose religious opinions differ from their
own. But the growth of the rite of
i eclesiastical marri igc. te be a custom of
-he church was but slew. It was long
dispensed with in the marriages of slaves,
and even iu the case of freemen, though
ncnerallv performed. At last Innocent
III., Pepe 1103 12115 A. I)., by far the
most remarkable of the popes who have
governed under that name, and who ex
tended the dominion of the church ever
almost the entire civilized world, wa? the
llrst who ordained the celebration of mar
riage in achurch. Thus ic was with Reme.
Christianity reached the Angle-Saxons
at a time when marriage by purchase had
b come geunral, alien woman was legatded
as a ffictft -thing " and could be bought
and sold as any ether chattel. This was,
as has been shown in the sixth century.
And when the church, in the discharge of
her salutary functions tewaid domestic
interests, uudei took the control of mar
riage as a depattrreat of social life clearly
lying under the province ei sacerdotal
duty, marriage under the clergy only
gradually came te be looked upon as ahse
lately ueeessary. Fer historians declare
that the custom of joining levers in wed
lock at the J erch or deer of the church
arose in the Nerman period of English hir
' teis. about eOO veai-6 after the intreduc
tien of Chi istianitv bv Autiustine A. D.
ri!(7,aud that marriages were net celebrated
in the cfcurcb. before the last year of the
twelfth century, when the synod of West
minster erdeied that marriages' should be
invariably celebrated in the church. But
while marriage at the perch of the
church may net have been customary
until after the Normans came te England,
the later Angle-Saxons celebrated their
marriages witli appropriate display, and
weie careful te secure for brides and
grooms the benefits of sacerdotal benedic
tien. I hate was the ceremony el hand
fasting, accompanied with the exchange
et solemn weids. Net seldom, also, the
ease-cloth was held ever the joyful couple,
whilst the priest announced a blessing en
their union. This last fact iui'icates no
undue jealousy of sacerdotal interference
with secular contract. The action of the
Angle-Saxen church in regulatiDg betroth
als and looking after the interests of mar
ried women shows even mere forcibly
that social opinion was disposed te regard
matrimony as falling within the province
of clerical influence . Under these circum
stances it seems probable that the cus
toms of the perch which existed in Nor Ner
man England may have been general, if
net universal, before the conquest.
ATter prevailing for centuries this au
cient usage of marrying before the perch
was actually abolished by the ecclesiasti
cal reformers of Edward VI. 's reign, who
ordained that the performance of the bind
ing ceremony should take place in the
body of the church. Under Mary it was,
of course, universally resumed, together
with ether religious practices forbidden
by Protestantism . It fell into disuse in
her reign, and was never mere revived m
England. "In France, however, it pro pre
vailed much later, as is shown by Charles
I.'s marriage (by proxy) with Henrietta
Maria at the Notre Dame, By the an
cient common law of Eugland mere con
sent was enough te constitute marriage.
And though the clergy did their utmost
te divert attention from the proofs of the
secular origin of marriage, they never suc
ceeded in making the intelligent laymcu
forget that matrimony was an institution
that had' risen out of common law long
bafere the pope and prelate took it
under their protection. The secular leg
islation for the suppression of uncanenieal
matrimony began with the enactment of
William and Mary, A. D. 1G94, entitled
" an act for granting several duties, etc.,
toward carrying en the war with France."
Hy this means meney was te be raised by
illegalizing all ether marriages save that
performed by the established church. By
Lord Hardwick's act in 1757 a ceremony
in an established church was made neces
sary, and this continued until 180(5, when
the dissenters succeeded in removing the
exclusive less.

Bosten, wiote : 4 I have heard no divine
voice say go. I have had no vision of

simply asked the M.ister for a clear h'!ad,

an honest desire te knew what is be.-d for

W atici maker's.
Silk novelties innumerable
and indescribable. Everything
that ladies or dressmakers have
occasion for in matching, deco
rating, combining. What we
are remarkable for, mere than
for anything else in silks, is va
riety ; or, at least, we are re
puted se. Yeu hear it said by
everybedy: '-If you want te
match anything, or find a rare
silk, even an unexpectable one,
go te Wanamaker's."
The ether peculiarity that
everybody expects te find here
is less pleasant te spealc of;
lower prices. We put it second,
because there are people who
don't credit us with lower
prices. Still, we imagine that
if one should assert the con
trary, almost everybody in Phil
adelphia would believe it.
Oftener we speak of ether
aspects of our trade ; aspects
less obvious or less recognized.
It is well occasionally te give
old news.
Next-outer circle, south enl ranee te main
building.
Warm skirts for ladies, and
leggings for ladies, girls and lit
tle girls. The warm skirts are
satin, satin-and-cloth, satin-and-felt,
satin-and-Italian-cloth, and
Italian, all quilted; cloth, flannel
and felt prettily trimmed, net
quilted, warm enough without.
The leggings are all sorts ; one
very useful and fairly pretty
sort, woven, at two-thirds value,
25 te 65 cents.
West orseuth entrance te main building.
Furs have te be thought of.
We're busy enough as te mak
ing. If we advertise at all, we
ought te say what will net op
press us with tee much making.
Perhaps this it is. A great many
seal coats and fur-lined circu
lars are ready-made. Mere
sizes are ready-made here than
anybody expects; especially the
unexpected sizes. Ready-made
work we can make in July.
Why shouldn't we make all the
shapes and sizes ready-made ?
1MJ Chestnut.
Black satin rhademaes and
satin de Lyens, 25 te 35 cents
below our own recent prices, of
all grades from $1 te 2 ; and
we guess our prices haven't
been very high ; have they?
Next outer eircle, south entrance te nuun
building.
Weel serge embroidered with
silk dots that ought te sell for
1 .50 no that isn t the way te
put it; it ought te sell according
te our theory, for just as little
as we can aflerd ; and that is 75
cents.
Loek out for such new. It's
time for ever-buying and all
sorts of mistakes te show them
selves. We try te keep ready ready
te turn ether folk's mistakes te
