man highly esteemed by all Who kne-w him,

quainted with him would say, "To know
him was to love him, for only they knew of

were extremely rare and lovers travelled
scores of miles to consecrate their vows
through plighting stones, whieh in some in-
stances, were built into chureh walls, thus
adding to - the sanctity and solemnity of
pledges made between the enamored pair -
elle man oil the one side and the wcimati on
the other, erraSping hands through the hole.,
Of the dtzeh or so known to have been
considered esplecially auspicious in the whole
