Wedding: Tours.
Travellers And conductors are beginning
to notice on the railroads a more than usual
number of spring and summer. wedding tour
ists. Ready money is abundant and just to
that sort of amount that' few men in these
clays can find any more useful or profitable
investment, of it than to getting married.
Those bachelors, old and young, who have
made their fortunes within the last, three
years in oil er,coal, or railroad stooks' or war
contracts, find this a convenient season for
resting a few monthi, taking a wife and me,
king a marriage tour to Europe, spreading
themselves in Paris, and doing the Great Ex
hibition, Italy, Gre - st Britain. and the rest of.
the world in half a year. Those tourists get
out of sight of the American ;world, add are
not worthintr_notieshere, for; with`them, all
is conventional and regulated simplY, by one
thing—the amount-of money they-:have to
spend. 1 - Jenkins arranges it. all and pub
lishes it in the newspapers. -' -
lint there is another far more interesting
and unsophisticated class who daily catch the
eye of the conductor, and are recognised by
him arid all-old -travellers on railroOs and
steamers at a glance—the -bridegrooms and
their-brides who, travel by themselves a few
hundred miles on their • tours, followed to
the cars by weeping, yet happy bald headed
fathers. On all the routes leading( to and
from Niagara, are these . to be seen' They,
have private snits of rooms pre.onaged at
all the stopping places, and have e idently
r
the idea that they have so arranged matters
that they ere not and cannot be ktown as
bridal tourists. This is not that ley are
ashamed of each .other,but simply that
their enjoyment Is in eac other's koeiety,
and' they do not. want to be criticised and
remarked upon by profane strangrs. So
I lity fancy they are travelling incog. And
yet how easy it is to the. careful eye to tell
how many days or . even hours they have
been - married, by the very pains_ they take
to seem either like Old married fke, or
cousins as • they promenade -on the eck of
the steamer, or sit, eyes so demure, in the
ol d
cars I . - ~ , ,
Their - dress detects them ' in part: It is
all so neat, symmetrical and new. !If the
parties have good taste, there is not a spark
of ahowitiese about their attire. , Al glitter
and display are laid aside, and s a who
was a fashionable belle , last win r, •and
drove out in such splendid satins a silks
to do, her shopping, is now Positive more
like a Quaker in a simple travellin dress
of mouse or drab color., Often th young
culprits pretend for: a whiffs to, be laying
at levers or flirtation, but it will o f do.

galleries. Those who do, suffer, of pouree.
It is, therefore necessary that a thorough

Quces..AucrioN.—lt is • well known that
an alicticiti of unmarried ladies imed to take
place in" - Babylon. t , In every district they
assembled on a certain day in every year ibe
virgins of marriageable age," The most.
beautiful was first put up, and the man who
bid the largest sum of money; gained posse.-
Ilion of her. The second. in perecnal appear
ance followed", and the bidders gratified them
selves with handsome wireS according to the
depth of their purses. , -But, 'tiled! it seems that
there:was in Babylon same ladies for which
tie money was likely to
,be offered ; yet, these,
also; were disposed of, so provident were the
Babylonians. When all the beautiful virgins
weremold s 4her crier- ordered the moat deform
ed to stand up, and after he had openly de
manded who would marryler fora small sum,
she was at length adjudged to - the man who
would be satisfied with the least;' and , in this
manner the money arisinefrom the sale of the
handscme, served as a portion for those wbo
were either of disagreeable leeks, or that had
any imperfection. This custom Prevailed about
five hundred years before Christ!

of the maidens, says :
1, We do not think, is .view of the great
scarcity of men, that it idtair for widows to

have to.be restrained by the strong arm of the
law, as was 'done in the early coh.i a l history
of -Virginia, when the itcrui3e . of Burge,.o
passed an act of the very character indicated.
It was.found that all the young men imported
into the colony, were at once caught by the
widows, by superior wiles .and stratagenis,
without any chance being to the mod
