KARLEOLENSIS. _Marriage Service_ (Vol. viii., p. 150.).--I have been many years in holy orders, and have always received the fee together with the ring on the Prayer Book, as directed in the Rubric. The ring I return to the bridegroom to place upon the bride's finger; the fee (or offering) I deposit in the offertory basin, held for that purpose by the clerk, and on going to the chancel (the marriage taking place in the body of the church) lay it on the altar. Note.--In the parish in which I first ministered, the marriages had always been commenced in the body of the church, as directed; in the second parish in which I ministered, that custom had only been broken by the present incumbent a few years since.

GLAIUS. {526} _"I own I like not," &c._ (Vol. viii., p. 366.).--The lines-- "I own like not Johnson's turgid style," &c. are by Peter Pindar, whose works I have not, and so cannot give an exact reference. The extract containing them will be found in Chambers' _Cyclopaedia of English Literature_, vol. ii. p. 298. P. J. F. GANTILLON, B.A. _"Topsy Turvy"_ (Vol. viii., p. 385.).--This is ludicrously derived, in _Roland Cashel_, p. 104., from _top side t'other way_. P. J. F.
