SWISS CoURTING.-When girl has ar
rived at marriageable age, the young
men of the village assemble by consent on
a given night at the gallery of the chalet in
which the fair one resides. This creates
no manner Of surprise in the mind of her
parents, who not only wink at the prac-
tice, but are never better pleased than
when the charms of their daughter attract
the greatest number of admirers. Their
arrival is soon announced by sundry taps
at the different windows. After the fam
lily in the house has been reused and dress

She then invites the party to partake of a
repast of cakes and kirsch#asser, which is
prepared for them on the balcony. In
deed, this entertainment with the strong
water of the cherry forms prominent fea-
ture in the proceedings of the night.
After having regaled themselves for
some time, during which and through che

get rid of them all, and will sometimes call
her parents to accomplish this object

country they have come there for the ex

night, tLe-e and then to make up her mind

preliminaries between the girl and her pa

window, where the Alliance is signed and
sealed, but not delivered, in the presence
of both father and mother BY the con.
