SWISS COURTING.

In Switzerland, when girl has arrived
at manageable age, the young men OF
the village assemble by consent on a Civ.
en- night at the gallery Of chalet in which
the fair one resides. This creates no
manner Of surprise in the mind Of her pa.
rents, 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 fami.
ly in the house have been reused and
dressed--for the scene usually takes place
at midnight, when they have all retired to
rest--the windows of the room are pre-.
pared for the occasion, in which the girl
is first alone, is opened. Then parley
commences Of rather bosterous descrip.
ton; each man in turn urges his suit with
all the eloquence and art Of which he is
possessed. The fair one hestates, doubts,
asks questions, but comes to no decision.
She then invites the party to partake Of a
repast OF cakes and kischwasser, which is
prepared for them on the balcony. In.
deed, this entertainment, with the strong
water Of the cherry, forms a prominent
feature in the proceedings Of the night.
After having RECALLED themselves for
some time, during which and through the
window she has made use of all the witch.
cry Of woman's art, she feigns desire to
get rid Of them, and will call her parents
10 accomplish this object, The youths,
however, are not to be put off, for, accord,
ing to the custom Of the country, they have
come here for the express purpose of com.
polling her, on that night, there and then,
to make up her mind, and to declare the
object of her choice,
At length, after a further parley, her
heart is touched; or she pretends II Is,
by the favored swain. After certain pre-,
liminaries between the girl and her parents
her lover is admitted through the window,
where the alliance is signed and sealed,
but not delivered, in presence of both ia.
Their and mother, By consent Of all par.
ties, the ceremony is not to extend beyond
a couple ofhours, when, after second jol'
LITIGATION with krschwasser, they all re-
tre--,he happy man to bless his stars,
but the rejected to console themselves
with the hope that at the next tourna'
ment Of love.making they may succeed
better. In general, the girls decision is
taken in good part by all, and is regarded
as decisive.

TELL ME We WINGED WINDS

The poem which follows is said, by a
correspondent, to have been written by
Charles Mackey, who was for some time
editor of the Glasgow Argus, and to have
appeared in little volume called "Voice
from the Crowd" 1t is beautiful thing,
and addresses itself to the heart:
Tell Inc We winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do you not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more!
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Some secluded home, where
This weary soul may rest?
The loud winds soften to whisper low,
And sighed for pity as it answered-'NO"
Tell me thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where weary man may find
That bliss for which he signs.
Where sorrow never lives
And friendship never dies!
The loud waves rolled in perpetual flow,
Stopped for awhile, lands sighed to answer-'no?
And thou serenest moon,
That with such holy face
Dost look upon the earth,
Asleep in nights embrace,
Tell me, in all thy round,
Hast thou not seen some spot,
Where miserable man
Might find happier lot!
Behind u cloud the moon withdrew IN wo,
And voice sweet but sad responded-'no'
Tell me my secret soul,
O!tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin and death!
Is there no happy spot,
Where mortals may be blessed;
Where grief may find balm,
And WEAKNESS rest!
Faith, Hope and Love, best boons TO mortal'
given,
Waved their bright wings, and whispsTed-
