We never receive Dutch Newspapers,
nor could we read them If we did. We
cannot, therefore, guarantee the accuracy
of the following extracts, given by a writer,
who cites them as curlously illustrative of
the Ouch character. "The. Newspapers"
he says, "are two thirds filled with Adver-
tisements, of which the following are ex-
amples from The columns Of a single Journal

To our friends and spontaneously
the Undersigned, are married"
Then come the advice &C bi1ths most of
which tell the world that the lady has beeu
brought to bed Of well shaped child. -
Of these, all are signed by the husband,
and they sometimes pour out food Of af-
fiction on the lady. But the manner of
publishing deaths, is the most singular, as
for instance
To DAY, after a sickness of ten days,
departed my beloved wife. She has LETT
me and her aged mother in state Of des-
pair. Weep with Us, all who know her
weep with my children"
Another" My deeply loved wife died
yesterday. enc mas lelt me pleGF OF

Again.--" In nv old age, sorrow has

daughter died, aged seven and forty ears.
Those who knew her Will know my grief.

Again -" Our brave daughter Is no

~. What parents feel who, in twenty two
weeks, have lost their only son, and their
only daughter, cannot be told by Words
Friends of humanity, trouble US not with
your consultations, but shed tear with US

Yet once more" After sickness Of

REASONS WHY LADIES SHOULD
NOT WALTZ.

Because the delicacy thereof is not un-
questionable.
Because many men who waltz. declare
that they should not be willing to see their
wives or sisters DO so.
Because ladies who waltz, often ask "do
yon think there is any harm in waltzing p
Because, after a few turns, the lady waltz
ing breathes hard-for her face and meek
are flushed, and her handkerchief crosses
her forehead, all of which is sadly unbe-
coming.
Because the erpose made in waltzing is

Because the propinquity in amy case would

Because it dulls that quick sense of

Because the relative attitude of the par
