CoRsrcAN CusToMs.--The long courtships
that generally precede the marriages of a
more civilized people, are unknown in Cor
slca; neither is the bridegroom the first pro-
poser OF the union.---The day of marriage
OF young persons is one of great festivity.
In the evening the bride is conducted to the
house of her husband, amidst the music Of
violins and cetre, whilst the attendants sing
sort of gratulatory epithalamium The
husband comes out ofhis house 1.-THE sound
of music, and amidst the discharge of mus
kets, receiving the company with. cordially;
offering honey, fruits, wines, and other
things, for their refreshment. When tho
married couple are advanced in years, so
that the union is not likely to be fruitful, the
Corsicans conduct themselves in totally
different manner. Instead of approaching
the bridegroom's house with Instruments Of
music, they come with spades, horns, dis
cordant bells, and make frightful char
ivari. "

Our Joys, as winged dreams, do fly
Why. then, should sorrow last?
Since grief but aggrsvates thy loss,
Grieye not for what is past"
20 say not so, thou holy Frar;
pray thee shy not So
For, since my true-love died for me,
lis meet my tears should flow.
And Will he never come agan.
Will he ne'er come again.
All! no-he is dead, and laid in his grave,
For ever TO remain.
His cheek was redder than the rose,
The comeiiest youth was he
But he IS dead, and laid il. his grave,
Alas AMI wo is me!
Sigh no more, lady-sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot on sea, and one on land,
To one thing constant never.
Hadst hou been fond, he had been false,
And LETT thee sad and heavy;
For young men ever we're tickle found,
Since sum ner-trees were leaiy."
"Now say not so, thou holy Friar,
pray thee, say not so;
My love he had the truest heart
y he was ever true.
Ana art thou dead, thou much-lovd youth
And didst thou die for me'
Then iarcwell home for evermorc,
A pilgrim will he.
But first upon my true loves grave
My weary limbs III lay,
And thrice III kiss the green grass turf
That wraps his breathless clay"
"Yet stay, fair lady--rest awhile
Beneath this cloiste wall
See. .hro' the hawthorn blows the cold wind,
And drizzly rain doth fall"
so stay me not, thou holy Frlar--
stay me not, pray
No drizzly rain tina falls on me
Can wash my fault away"
"Yet stay, fair lady turn again,
Aud dry these pearly tears
For see, beneath this gown of grey,
Ihy own true-love appears.
Here, forced by grief and hopeless love,
These holy weeds sought
And here, amidst these lonely walls,
To end my days thought.
But haply, for my year of grace
Hath not yet pass'd away,
Night still hope to win thy love,
No longer would stay"
Now f''eveil grief and welcome joy
Once nor unto my heart;
For since I've found thee, lovely youth,
We uovern,crc will part.

history common to hundreds of those
fair creatures, who, triAihg with the
power that beauty gives them over the
minds Of men, sacrifice every thing at
the shrine of ambition, and aim only to
enjoy the title and the triumph, that
lights for little while the sphere Of the
Village Belle.

THE DIGNITY OF WOMAN.


Light up the tanbow on LIES stormy waters:
Roses from Paradise they intertwine
With the dark threads which Destiny's weaving
Glsdness of hearts that are lonely and grcving
Eeams from their eyes bright with m!ldness divine
On the spirits bodies, pinion,
Man through natures circle floats,
Bows to PASSIONS full d1aIinion,
Loves her ever-varying notes;
On the distant hope he seizes,
Follows that which CLEANS afar,
And the transient dream, that pleases,
Chases to ;hc !arthest star.
Woman, with magical, eloquent glances,
Calls back the wanderer that rashy advances,
ShaininS affection to homes cheerful sphere,
Nature, his heart mid the children retaining,
Bids him, dsca.ding his restless complaining,
Trust IN their love, md find happiness here.
On Desires broad, bound oss ocean,

All the softer joys are lost

Never euJs hs Passions strife,

Mild, and coniented with tranquI.ler hours,

Breatnes she the prayer ofdevotion and feeling;

originally translated for the North American Re-
view from the German OF SCHILLER, by EDWARD

that justly celebrated publication. 1t is TO such

FLORIDA INDIANS

The resolution yesterday offered by Mr.. Forsyth,
calling for certain information in relation to the
Treaty with the Florida Indians, was taken up
Mr. Forsyth made few remarks in explanation
of the resolution, in which understood him to
say, that he was DESTROYS OF farther information
both to the terms of the compact referred to in
the resolve, and the in which the treaty had
been negotiated. One thing certain, he said
that these Indians are now in most distressed
condition; so much SO, that they would soon perish
were it not for the aid which they receive from The
bounty Of the Government. Another reason WHY
he wished for this information, was, that he per-
ceiVed in the account OF expenditures of the year
1924 an item Of 80 500, paid for military escort
for the Florida Indians As he did not understand
the necessity of this expenditure, nor why il was
necessary bsvea military escort for these people
he wished for farther light on the whole subject
