"Weddings in Olden Times." From William McKnight's Our Western Boider." For a long time after the first set tlement of a country, the inhabitants in genera! married young1. TL"ere was no distinction of rank, an J very little of fortune. On these accounts the first imiiiesBicn of loTe ranted in m'-rriag-e, and a family establishment cost but a little labor an-1 nothing else. A wedding engaged the atten tion of a whole neighborhood, and the frolic was anticipated by old and young with eager expectation. This is not to be wondered at when it is told thnt a wedding was almost the only gathering which was not aceom-j-srJe J with the labor of reaping-, log rolling, building a cabin, or planning some scout or campaijru In the inominrj of the wedding day, the groom and Lis attendants assembled at the house of his father, for the purpose of reaching the man sion of his bride by roon, which wa6 the visual time for celebrating the nupiiuls ; which for certain must take place before dinner. Let the reader imagine an assemblage of people, without a store, tailor, or mantau laaker within a hundred miles, and an nwrcblatre of horses, without a blacksmith or tadolt-r within an equal distance. The gentlemen, dressed in ehoepacks, moecasiurr, leather breech es, leggins, and Lnsey hunting shirts, all home-made ; the ladies in linsey petticoats, and linsey cr linen short gowns, coarse 6hocs and stockings, handkerchiefs, and buckskin gloves, if any. If there were any buckles, rings, buttons or ruQes, they were relics of old times family pieces from parents or grand-parents. The horses were cupfirisoned with old E-ddles, old bridles or halters, and pack-sad.lies, with a bag or blan ket thrown over them ; a rope or string as often constiitued the girth as a piece of leather. The march in double Hie was often interrupted by the narrowness and obstructions of our horse-paths, as they were called, for we had no roads ; and these diffi culties were often increase. 1, some time by the good, and sometimes by the ill will of neighbors, by felling trees and tying grape vines across the war. Swetimos an ambuscade was formed by the way-side, and an unex pected discharge of several guns too place, so as to cover the welling corn nan V with smcke. Let the raider a ,r imicuie the scene which followed; the sudden spring of the horses, the shrieks of the girls, and the cmvalric bustle of their partners to save" them from falling. Sometimes, in 6pite of all that could be tlone to prevent it, 809 were thiowu to the ground. If a wrisb, an elbcw, or an unkle, hap pened to be sprained, it was tied up with a handkerchief, and little more gaid or thought about it. The ceremony of the marriage pre- foAA ihf flintier. whiOil WRS a fcU iitaniial backwoods featt of beef, pork, fowls, and sometimes venison and bear meat roasted and boiled, with r.t -i4itrfK eabbare. and jjtu(.j w x -J ' othet Vegetables. During the din ner the greatest hilarity always pre vailed, although the table might be a lhiee slab of timber hewed out witli a broad-axe, supported by four sticks feet in auger holes ; and the furniture, some old pewter dishes and plates. ..l-.l nnt with wooden bowls and trenchers. A few pewter feptfons, much battered about the edges, were impn rA some tables; the rest were made of horn. If knives were scarce, the deficiency was made up by the ficalpinsr knives which every man car tied in sheath suspended to the belt of the hunting (shirt After dinner the dancing com tuenced, and generally labted till the next morning. The figurts of the dances were three aud four handed reels and jigs. The commencement was always a square four, which was followed "by what w-3 called "jigging it off:" that is, two of the four would fcihgle out for a jig, end be followed bv the remaining couple. The Jigs were often accompanied with what Mlkd " cutting out ; that is, when eitiTef of the parties became tired of Ite dance, cn intimation, the pjace was supphed by eome one of the company, without any interrup tion to the dance. In this way it was often continued until the musician was heartily tired of hi situation. Towards the latter part of the night, if any of the company, through wea riness, attempted to conceal them selves for the purpose of sleeping, they were hunted up, paraded on the floor, and the fiddler ordered to plar "Hang out till to-morrow morning-."" About nine or ten o'clock a depu tation of tho young ladies stole off the brido and put her to bed. In doing this it frequently happened that tney had to ascend a ladder instead of stairs, leading from the Lning and ball room to a loft, the floor of which was made of clap-boards lying loosa This ascent, one might think, would put the bride and her attendants to th blush ; but as the foot of the lad der was commCnly behind tho door, purposely opened for the occasion, and its rounds at the inner ends were w&U Lung with hunting shirts, dresses, and ether articles of cloth ing the candles being on the oppo site side of the house, the exit of the bride was noticed by few. This done, a deputation of yonng men, in like mancer, stole off the groom and placed him 6nugly by the side of his bride, while the dance still continued ; and if seats happened to be scarce, every young man was obliged to offer his lap as a seat for one of the girls. Late at bight refreshments in the shape of " black Betty the bottle was sent rp the ladder, with some times substantial accompaniments of bread, beef, pork and cabbage. The young couple were compelled to eat and dr?ck of wbMevpr was offered them. Tho feasting and dancing often lasted several days, at the end of which the whole company were so exhausted with loss of sleep, that many days' rest was requisite to fit them to return to their ordinary la bors. Sometimes it happened that neighbors or relations not asked to the wedding, took offence, and re venged themselves bv cutting off the manes foretops and tails of horses belonging to the wedding company.
