takes the copper plate in which is the Tuly, or

and uttering sanscrit verses, payees it round (Cr
each Brahmin to touch the Taly ; and the rela
tives all touch it, with the hope that there may be
among them all at least one good person who
touches, and therefore the bride may lies long and
be virtuous. Afterwards the Brahmin gives it to
the bridegroom, who ties It around the bride's
neck. While he is doing this, there is an awful
thundering of tom-toms, and music, and all halloo
as loud as they can. for the purpose of drowning
the noise of sneesing, should there be any, which
Is very unpropitious at such • time. The
Brahmin takes the mango leaves from the - paor
berme mentioned, with his hands crossed at the
wrists, and touches with them the bridegroom's
loci shoulder.and the top of his head, and then
throws them behind the bridegroom. He does the
same tn the bride. The bride and groom then arise
and fall at the feet of their aged relations, and after
passing three times around the nuptial chamber,
(i. e. the Pundall,) they enter the 'house, having
the right foot foremost, and seating themselves on
• mat, they are presented with milk sod plantains,
while three congratulatory songs are sung. The
Brahmin takes the rice and fruits in the nuptial
chamber. and receiving a rupee, (*taut 50 cents,)
goes a way. When it Is night the relatives bring
the bride and groom out, and maks her stand upon
the minding-stone, used in grinding curry stuffs,
end point out to her the little star called Aruntu

signed her In the heavens near the constellation
of the Groat Bear. Then they have • feast, which
claim the first day ; the relations retire to their
houses, and the bride and.grotim retire to separate
rooms and pass the night.
Early the nest morning, the bridegroom goes
off, manifesting much displeasure at the brideand
her friends. About noon. some of the bride's
friends go to bring him back, taking with them
cakes, sweet-meats, and a palankeen. In the eve
ning, the bride and groom go in palankeens in
• procession of their friends through use principal
streets in the town, having musk, the dancing
girls of the temple, torches, blue lights, and firing
rokoets if permitted by the Government. After
they have returned from the procession, the bride
groom takes the hand tithe bride, and going three
times around the nuptial chamber, they enter the
house where the feast is conducted. Then the
company leave. and the bride and groom retire to
their chamber. This closes the second day.
On the morning of the third day, other tors
.
monies, somewhat similar to those described, are
performed—the bridegroom furnishing the things
for the feast that day. After the marriage, they
spend a week at the house of the bride's father,
and thence they go to the bridegroom's father's,
and spend three or four weeks, after which they
go to hours-keeping. Few ankles are required
for, housakeeping—no chairs, no beds; and no ta
bles. A few &Mks fur cooking. and, if they are
poor, a plantain leaf is all that is necesrary to
put their food on and eat it with their hands. The

GETTIBBURii, PA. FRIDAY:AVENINGL
AN: IRISH. HIGHWAYMAN.
BY DitNOON Z. HILL.
Dr. W.--,:the bishop of Cashel, hav
ing occasion to visit Dublin, accompanied
by wife and daughter, determined to
per Corm the journey by easy stages, in his
oWn earriage, and with his own sleek and
welikd horses, itu4ead of trusting his bones
o the tender moms of an irish post•ohiise,
and the unbrokiin garrons used for draw
ing these crazy , vehicles.
One part of his route was through 'a
wild and inoantainous district, and the
bishop, being a very humane moo, and con
siderate of his cattle, made a point of quit-
tinghis carriage tithe foot of every hill and
walking to the top. On one of these on.
=ions, he had loitered to look at the et-
tensile prospect, indulging in a reverie
upon its sterile appearance and the change
that agriculture might produce, and in so
doing suffereithis family and servants to
be'. considerably in advance ; perceiving
this he hastened to make up for lost time,
and was stepping out with his best speed,
when a fellow leaped from behind a pile of
loose stones, and accompanying the flour
ish of a huge club with d demoniac yell.
demanded "Money 1" with a ferocity of
tone and manner perfectly appalling.
The bishop gave the robber all the ad.
ver loose in his pocket, hoping that it
would satisfy him, but he was mistaken ;
for no sooner had the ruffian stowed it a•
way in his tattered garment, than, with
another whirl of his bludgeon, and an air.
fill oath, he exclaimed :
"And is it with the like of this I'm after
letting you oil' I a few paltry pennies I
It's the gould I'll have or I'll spatter your
brains. Arrah, don't stand shiverin there
like a Quaker in the ague, but lug nut your
You immediately, or I'll bate
you as blue as a whetstone."
His lordship most reluctantly yielded
his well-filled purse, saying in tremulous
accents, "My good fellow, there it is, don't
ill use me—l've given you all, pray let me
depart."
" Fair and softly. if you plase ; as sure
as I'm not a good fellow, I haven't done
with you yet. I must search for your
note case, for I'll engage you have a few
bits of paper payable at the bank ; so hand
it over or you'll sup sorrow to-night."
It was given up; a glance at the road
showed that all hope of assistance from
his servants was unavailing, the carriage
had disappeaned, but the bishop made an
instinctive movement as though anxious to
escape from further pillage.
Wait awhile, or may be I shalt get an
gry with you ; hand over your watch and
sales and then you may trudge."
Now it happened that the divine felt a
particular regard for his watch—not so
much from its being of considerable value,
but because it had been presented to him
by his first patron—and he ventured to ex
postulate.
" Surely you have taken enough ; leave
me my watch, and I'll forgive you all you
have done."
Who sx'd your forgiveness, you old
varmint! Would you trifle with my good
nature i Don't force me to do anything
I'd be sorry for—but without any more
bother, just give me the watch, or by all
that is holy—"
And he jerked the bludgeon from his
right hand to the left, spit in the horny
palm of the former. and regrasped the for
midable weapon, as though seriously bent
on bringing it into operation. This action
was not unheeded by his victim—he drew
forth the golden time-pieee, and with a
heavy sigh handed it to the spoiler, who.
rolling the chains and seals around it,
found some wide aperture In his - apparel
into which he crantreed it, Ind giving it :a
shako to ascertain that it had found, by its
own gravity a place of safety, he said : '
"And now be off wid you. and
,thank
the blissed saints that youlsve me without
a scratch on your skin, or the value of
your little linger hurt."
It needed no persuasion to induce they
bishop to turn his , back upon the despoiler I
of his worldly goods. and having no weightl
to carry, he eel off at whet equestrians

brief words the &attire he had undergone.

"Take it off, . dear papa," observed
the daughter, "bui don't throw it away;
it may lead to the detection of the wretch
who robbed you." .
The obnoxious' garment was removed ;
the young lady was about to place it under
the seat, when she heard a gingling noise
that attracted herattention, and on exami
ination, found secreted in various parts of
the coat not only the watch, pocket-hook,
purse and silver, gf which
,her father had
I been deprived, bat a yellow • canvass bag,
such as farmers use, containing about thir
ty guineas.
The surprise altd joy of all parties may
be imagined; they reached the inn where
1 they purposed stepping for the Bight. and
as the portmanteaus had escaped the dan
gers of the road, the bishop was speedily
able to attire himself canonically. Before
the party retired to rest, intelligence arri
ved that the highwayman had been taken
after a desperate resistance—the notice of
the police being attracted by the singular
appearance of a man of his station sporting
a black frock-coat, and covering his shag
gy. carroty looks with the well powdered
and orthodox peruke of the Right Rever
end, the bishop of Cashel.
ONE or Swirr's Joices..—Dean Swift
was going. one dark evening, to drive with
some great men, and wasocxsompanied by
three other clergymen, to whom he gave
their cue. They were all in their canon

steps, when another clergyman desiends.
After giving way to this other, he proceeds
with great confidence to toss up the steps,
when lo I another comes. Well , there
cannot, he thinks, be more than six. He
is mistaken. Down coutes a seventh, then
an eighth, then a ninth ; all at decent in
