In 1002 the bishops of Paderbord and Mon earn , were put in possession df (heir sees by 'receiving a glove as the sign thereof.

This has been spoken of before. - . This manner of payment, too , is the arc haic and original meaniogef the white gloves gi ven away at - weddings- 'they i were ftes given to the bridesmaids antfbitifeafro*:p4acull'Or services rendered. The Belgic enkoni, at wed ., . dine is odd. The print asks the bridegroom for a ring and a pair of gloves ;• red gloves, if they can be had ; with three., bite of - silver money inside them. Patting the gloves into this . bridegroom's right hind, he joins this with, the right hand of the bride, and then;, dextt:ionsly, loosening them, he leaves the gleves_ia the bride's grasp;; as a symbol, doubtleeti,4hat she is taken pop-: ensign of, bought and paid for and conquered like any other vassal. - We needle do strange thin" with gloves at' weddings. , In 1785, a cart surgemistid apothecary was married in the. o wnof Wrexham ; and the eye-witness, i Who tells the anecdote, Baia i '‘l saw at. tie doors of his own end neighbors ', holism 'throughout the itrpag whare.4 livtid,. large boughs_and parts of tree that Witt 1046 cut down and tied there, titled with white•paper out tilitiCitimille of *wpituin'n . gloyes; and of wilt% flak - mil , lfttether:ank "Pitiia l -blililliAld on the feminine part of the population was egz patted to follow, remains-untold. 4 pleasant custom, too ; was that of giving gloves full of money at *eddings : one of the feW obsolete which it would be an advantage to revive. But gloves are also used as symbols of;quar rel as well as of possession ,; and Co throw down the giuntlet bas.elwaye meant to challenge, to assume the right to defend both in chivalrous times, 'and before . and after. Even we have still the ehamtsion in our Coronations, with his well-trained steed, and the beautiful manor of Serfvelaby, held on the easy °condition Abat - he shall ride into Westminster Hall—the riding out again, backing, it not quite so Pleatlata--Cilitil lenge the assembled universe to di/44e the ti tle of the threne, and fling down a;gage on the Boot; whieh, in Proceas of time, one of• the royal footmen perhaps, or perhapti.,a beadle, or one of the hodeiheld brigade, wiltplek, up, ;rid return to the spe.cial-bymoko performing., Who does not know that beautiful story of Bernard Oilpin,..v!lten. he_went_inte the church of the quarrelsome,aTid saw the gloves bung ep as a• general 'challenge to all enters who would care to take an' ill-conditioned, fellow's . insult on their Shoulders ?. The sexton would not fob the life of him touch tha gloves q but Besuarci Qiiipin c tutting along• pole, lifted them off their hook, and ,took both them and the quarrel on himself;* drawing them forth during the sermon and rating the parish soundly for harboring such evil thoughts and suffering such unchristian practices ,to abound. Yet it wee a very cowmen thing in chivalrous times to hang up the gauntlet in the church ; when woe to him who touched it or took it down I. 'Nothing less than a quarrel a outranee for a cause as silly , as the mode of de fending it was barbarous. The last challenge by means of a glove was in Queen Elizabeth's time, in the year 1751; On fhb Occasion' of a dispute concerning some lands - in Kent ; when a trial by single combat was demanded—the disputants meetingjn court, where one drew his glove and threw it down, and the other picked it up with the point of hie sword. For the honor of humanity and common sense the stupid fools were' not let. to fight; and-the rightful ownership ef the Keatish Uncle was settled some other way tiometimes a glove was used as the symbol of protection, not of quarrel and,insult : and even to this day it is hung out in some towns during fair times, in re_meMbtallee of the time when it was a sign that all, who gathered there were safe from those annoying things called duns, and need be under no apprehension of sudden seizure tw living shoulder knots, more startling than pleasing. 'Hoisting the glove' is still practised at Easter, devias the Lammas Fair. It is a glove of immense eiZe, which is stuffed and carried through the city, hoisted on the top of a long pole all beflowered and beribboned attended by music, the beadles, and the nobility, then hung out of a window at the Guindhall as a sign that the fair has begun, and when it is taken in, the fair is ended. At the Free Mart of Portsmouth, a glove was hung out of the window during fair time, and while it hung no one was arrested. So. Maccles field, Cheshire, Newport, Isle Liverpool, on the fair days of the 25th of July, and -21.1 of Novem ber. At Barnstable, too, a large glove decked with dahlias, is hung out from the window of the quay Hall,, the oldest huilding of the city, and while ii hangs the fair hi going on, and when it is withdrawn the fair is at an end ; and at Chester so 'famous for its gloves, they do the same thing. The glove, in alt these in stances, meaning the symbol of protection.-- Was it protection or possession that the Ro mans symbolized , b7,their standard of the winged band of power ?

To wear a glove 'in one's hat or'cip meant one of theee things, silt the old writers: a favor of a niietress, the memorial of a friend, and as a mark to be challengedby an enemY," As a favor of a mistress it was always a popu lar donation. When Queen Elizabeth, that rampant old coquette, gave her dropped glove .to the E./A of Cumberland who picked it up, that - benighted individual set it round with diamonds and stuck it in his bat as the greatest, and highest, and richest, and royalest favor man could show ; and Shakespeare, and the other draniatists,of his date speak of gloves worn in the cap:as ordinary' evidence of a lady's favor and a knight's deserving. In Troilus and., °reside, gives the lady a sleeve and she gives him a glove, and Helen is made to swear Venus's glove, which we should not, in our days, thin k quite sulloiently true to the local color of Olympus; besides many other weeps where gloves are spoken of as favors, as well aa. for an oath; 'by gloves," occurring ai often as by Jove._or by George. There was "a very, pretty invention of old 'times, called Draw-Gloveg y pretty, that Is, in its consequences, for no one knows exactly Aim draw-gloves means, or how it was plqyed. Ralliwell, in his dictionary, calls it talking with the - fingers, but it was scarcely that;.and others make it out to have been a kind of mo ray but it was scarcely that either; whatever it was, however, the mode of playing and the remits of the game were graeions and enti cing; according to rich and winey Herrick's eiposition in the Pleasant Grove of New Fran eies;*hen he 'says: • ' ' At Draw-Glossa we'll play, And preethse let's lay A wager, and let it be this : Who drat WU% snmme Of twenty doth come Shall have for his winning a kiee Was this the origin of "winning glovesi , " by . kissing in the sleep ? In .the abseeee of all `knowledge on the tatbjeat, one guassls is good as another, and draw-gloves may have been a delicietis bit'of feigning with its MI comple tion in thin. There was a pleastult custom too oonseeted with the new moon, and gloves, and kissing that deserve's a word.. In some Coin: try'places it was—perhaps is—the custom for a number of young people to assemble together to watch for the:new moon, when whoefer saw it first gave his or her neighbor a kiss, and got a pafr of doves as the reward. The perfection 'of a modern shove, is its smoothness and elasticity; its 11IICECrptiona ble fit, the delicacy and uniformity of its tiht. and a sewing , that shall be at once fine and strong ; while anything like embroidery or ad ventitione ornament, or mixture of polors, or incongrnoui materials does not count as the beat taste in these modern days of luxury and -n'tility combined. But in olden times gloves were esceedingly - costly. That story of Coeur de Lion being . discovered on his fateful jour ney by the jeweled gloves which hung at his page's girdle, shows how- magnificently they were-sometimes adorned; while oven the Holy -Mather Chdreh did- not disdain the use of these mundane vmdtlea for her reverend -kande ; the gloves of all the prelates of England being be decked with precious stones as parts of ordi nary prelatical pomp and useful glory. In the beginning of the ninth century they were even legislated on; and in the lima of Louis le Debonnaire the Council of Aix or dered all godly monks to wear sheepskin gloves only. The eMbroidered glove was purely epis eopal, like the ring and - sandals; and - when some abbots in France presumed to wear , thetn, the. Council of Poitiers sharply reproved them for insolence and encroachment. Later, WA' find them more Universal', and by no means ,ss 'ruinously expensive, though still costly enough considering -the comparative value of money; witness the bill of moneys spent for Peter Mar tyr and Bernadino Ochin, when they came over here to delight the souls of the Reformers by their godly zeal; where we find bs. 3d. for Bernadino's bait and gloom" 139. for - "a -pap* of furred glovys for P. Martyr," 11, Hs. .3d. for " a peticote, glorys and night-cap for Julius," and Is. for "one payrs of glow .for them." in Henry the Eighth's times, the chqrchsiar, dens of Kingston• upon-Shames paid , three pence for "two payre of glovys for Bobyn Hood and . Mayde hjuryan, ' the morris-dan, sera employed by the parish. Which was pretty well of the parish, and showed a decent spirit. Gloves, too, weremsed in witchcraft, as when Joan'and Philip Flower stroked the cat Rut ter'e bank with Lord Henry's gloves, saying " Mount Rutter and fly ;" and Rutter mailed but did not fly, though Lord Henry fell sick unto death. Then there is the story of the lady whO threw her glove into the arena where the lion stood to test the.worth of her lover's vows, and who received as her reward the glove flung scornfully back into her face, with the applause of king and court to the daring and disenchanted lover. This is a story which has given two of our poets occasion for very lovely, if differing fencies—Leigh Hunt siding with the lover and King Francis, and branding the lady with the shame of heartless coquetry and most unworthy pride; Browning taking, perhaps,' the nobler rim, and maintaining it to have been a mere test of truth and sincerity, which failed in the application—to the bring ing forth of a higher joy. Then there is the monkish legend of Saint Gudule, the patroness of Brussels ' who flourished, as the date books say, in the beginning of the eighth century, and who one day came praying in•the church with naked feet; praying with such fervor and with feet so naked, that a charitable priest put his gloves under them for shoes to protect them from chilblains and the damp of the stones. . . But Saint Gudnle kicked the gloves away, and went on with her prayers, while the gloves hung suspended in the air for upwards of an . hour, to the great marveling of the beholders, and the testimony, by a miracle, of the Saint's true character beneath her cowl. There is another older world story about gloves, in the adventures of Asa Thor, on his way to 'Totem-. Mem ; and how, on his way thither, he, and Loke, and the swift young Thialfi who had sucked the marrow of the goat's leg-bone, so that the beast went lame for the rest of his natural days—unnaturld, rather—how they all got lost in a. forest, and, slept in a spacious hall, with a smaller chamber branching off. Which hall they found afterwards was nothing but the giant's Bitrytoirie glove, witb thumb, where they had'taken refuge from the wind, for the smaller, chamber. Then there were Thor's irop gloves, , without which he dared not attempt to grasp his mighty hammer, ltijolnir-rgloves which -we may, .preaecia: to have been a speaks:4f , oelestiek, kauskle due ten,. a 5 knuchleAlaaterry are. our nineteenth century version of the cesti ‘ whigh the old •li t or and wrestlers gistlieters were. • ptrivi3ll*DCßT NOTagiNas. shm4Yll ZILOBTVID BY 0.
