This put of the ceremony being, over, all pres

Jed. The riceneis altogether very imposing; and
the effect is very considerably heightened by the

Before conchiding my account of the ceremon
ies observed at a Jewish - marriage, it is,right to re
that even the nupnals of The poorer persons
of the Hebrew community are solemnized on a
scale of 'great' r.plensior ; , Indeed, it would be dif
fieult.for &there spectator to.say whether AIM par

assemblage.before hill . ); for
_rich persons often at
tend the weddings of th poorer breq!ern, , and
invariable . make a point f presenting the bride
and bridgroom with some. some giftii,*either
in the shape ef money or plate, according , : to the
reii - eurnstances of the' parties. The p i reseigs SO re
ceived' al w ti'ys cover the expenses; in oi any. instaa
ces they considerably exceed them. 7 . But besides
this, there is'a benevolent Jewish Societir.estab
liidhed for the .express purpose•of giving small
marriage portions to..poor Jewish girls. ,The
amount given .varies from - three hundred ; to four
hundred and fifty dollars.
As intimately tonne( ted with the_ marriages of
the Jevs, I ought here to ,remark tilt). nothing"
can exceed-the anxiety of married Jewesses to be
