Wedding In a Greek Chureh. The prettiest wedding procession I have ■een was in Constantinople—a stately and rejoicing march, though without music. Fancy a narrow street of high stone houses with projecting balconies, latticed with slats so close together that persons within can see without being seen. A long line of sedan chairs, cushioned and curtained with satin, each borne bytwo men holding poles, and keeping step to gether like trained horses; their uniform braided jackets, baggy trousers and scar let fez made festal by a bunch of lilac* on the bosom—for it was rejoicing spring, and the gardens of the Bosphoru* were radiant with color and bloom. At the head of the column an armed attendant, in gorgeous costume, with whip in hand, cleared away dogs and gaping idlers; They were en route for the Greek church outside Pera, and the beauty of the beautiful race was on the bride. The shining face at the window was like some lovely human flower, too tender for exposure, blossoming under glass. ■ On the classic head a wreath of orange flowers, to be: laid away on the morrow and carefully kept for her burial. As they near the church door a bridal chorus rules the slow steps of the car riers; and when the bride, lovely all in her white, steps from the silken sea* bonbons are showered on her by waiting friends. The biidegroom, also crowned with a wreath, joins her, and they stand with blasped hands at the altar while the long ritual is read by the priest. Three times the wreaths are interchanged , by the priest in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Three times the pair is led by him round the altar; a glass of consecrated wine is offered first to the bridegroom, then to the bride, afterward to tire best man and first bridemaid, whose duty it is to be godfather and god mother to the children.
