| CoURTsHIP AMONG THE PAwNEEs,--Murray,
in his book Of travels, gives us the following
method Of couttship among the Pawn-es:
w hen the lover wishes to break the ice, he
comes to her fathers tent unlimited, and sits on
a corner Of the mat for considerable length Of
time, and ne goes away without speaking. This
Is the preliminary step, answering, perhaps, to
the first grasp of the hand, the first mutual glance
Of understanding. After few days the young
man returns, wearing his buffalo robe with the
hair outward; and again sits down silent in the
corner of the tent; this is IA proposal, regular
popping the question:" If the father is deter
mined to reject him, nothing is placed for him to
sit on, and no meat is offered him but if he
approves of the match, these rites of hospiiali-
ty are observed. Feasts are then given by the
respective parties in order to obtain the consent
OF their relatives. If both parties terminate
favorably in this respect the young man pre-
sents himself once more before the bride at the
door Of the tent. and then turns round and
walks slowly off to his; she rises and follows him
the marriage is then complete; Git she remains
sitting, it is Il sign that her family declines the
match.) All tins is done without word pass
ing brtween the bride and her husband that is to
bt.-But the most extraordinary part Of the af-
fair is, that having married the eldest sister he
has right to all the younger ones as they sue
cessfullv attain the age of puberty. The author
adds II have seen several chiefs who have in
this manner married whole family; the eldest
wife being the greatest drudge, and the youngest
being generally the favorle Sultana, and conse-
oueniy dOnu the least work -

escape was impossible, even il the wrelcled in
mates had possessed their ordinary strength But
diseased and epess rs they were, they could
only utter shrek as they fell dead or mansled
in the ruins. Even the stone wall or fence Law
rrumbed or scattered, like the mimic house
which the child constructs with his blocks, and
then in play or anger dashes OH the floor. The
runs were most appalling.
At the same instant, the whole city contain
ing $4,000 inhabitants felt the shock whole
blocks of stone buildings crumbed like the
hospital-roofs tumbed in upon families in their
beds walls were rent and twisted, and houses
upturne'l from the foundation. The earth heav-
ed aud rolled if in the throes OF the rrsurrec-
ton morn, or as if tossing in agony Tor the sins
of mer; and cry like that which went up from
the land of Egypt, in that awful night when in
every house there was one dead, arose from this
devoted city. These who were not killed or
mangled by the first shock, rushed naked and
terrified into the streets, and from that trembling
crowd arose such cry Of mingled terror and a
prayer, while wallis, stone and timber were falling
around them, as will ascend from the guilty
throng before the Judgment seat, when they shall
call for the rocks and mountains to fall and
cover them. What change has one brief in
slant made! The solid earth. but moment
before as still as if resting on everlasting foun-
datons, is tossing like ship at sea. The morn
ing sumber, the early toll, the varied hopes
and joys of thousands, exchanged for one burst
Of devastation and anguish. Those who lay
down the evening before in peace. or laughing at
the sins of the day-those planning new plea
| su,es and profit for the morrow-those engaged
in those deeds of darkness which the unsleep-
ing eye Of God alone could see, awoke that
morning at the bar of judgment, or opened their
eyes amid the tempest of falling timber and
rock, or lay crushed and mingled in the ruins.

YER LOOK SAD.

Never look sad-nothing' so bad
AS getting familiar with sorrow;
Frreat him to-day in cavalier way,
4 And he'll seek other quarters tomorrow.
Long you'd not weep, would yon but peep
AT the bright side of every trial;
Fortune, you'll find is often most kind,
When chilling your hopes with denial.
Let the sad day carry away
Its own little burthen of sorrow;
Or you may miss half Of the bliss
That comes in the lap of tomorrow.
When hope is wrecked, pause and reflect
If error accustomed your sadness;
If it be so, hereafter you'll know
How to steer to the harbor of gladness.

Is it the man who has acquired renown? He,
