Among the customs peculiar to the tine
of courtship, we MAJ mention that it Is
usual for lovers to tie large bunchcs ofhaw.
thorn to the windows of their sweethearts
on the LIST of May. Those young ladies',
however, who have not yet been fortunate
enough to have obtained an offer, get a few
hanufulls of chaff strewed by the splteiul or
the j~ocular over their thresholds; and it is by
no means uncommo for The fair creatures
who are thus treated to take the hawthorn
from the easements of their rivals in The
night, and tying them to the sash % their
own, to oblige them with some of their chat
in re,urn-a custom which may probably
have given rise to our vulgar idioms OF
.chaffing'' an old maid. 1t is customary,
also, for s~ains to go to the windows OF
their fancees, and, firing off a pistol, to wish
them a happy new-year. The term of be-
trothal is OF different durations. In some
cases i. lasts only for d short period, but in
others it continues Tor many years. 1t is
frequently the custom for Il lady to be be-
trolhed 10 a young man filing sorne subor-
dinate situation under government, upon the
understanding that they are not to be mar
ried until the youths salary reaches an
amount that is deemed sufficient for the
maintenance of the pair. Officers, again,
are often belrothed during their ensigncy,
though every one in Prussia knows that the
lu.l-grown "children in arms" are not al
lowed to marry until they reach the rank Of
captain, unless, indeed, they be able TO de-
posit the sum OF TIVE We thousand thalers in
the hands of the government, the interest of

paid to the little boy for the maintenance OF
his wife. The Stale, however, does not
limit its p~aternal care to officers alone; it
has a like regard for the interests of all per-
sons oil limited means, and will not allow
them to commit matrimOny until they can
give good evidence that they have the
where-withal to support a family. In Cob
leniZ, for instance, 10 one can become a
Benedict unless he can purchase his citizen
ship. This, a little while ago, cost only
eight thalers; but the poorer families were
to increase so rapidly at these mod
crate terms, that the richer determined upon

Execution of Orsini and Pierri.

The London papers gives in detail an &C
count of the execution of the two men who
were the leaders in the recent attempt to
take the life OF NAPOLEON iii.
The former of these noted characters has
led an %eventful life, and throughout the
whole has manifested many redeeming traits
Of character. His whole life has been de-
voted TO one object: that of the freedom Of
his country, and much as he may have erred
in the means used. yet the unfinching en-
durance with which hs prosecuted his one
aim marks him a patriot, and a martyr to
his country's good. Those who see him only
as connected with the tu gical events of the
attempted assassination. will look upon him
q as an assassin. But those who can see him
receive his first inspiration in childhood
when his father gave his lfe's blood for
liberty, when it YVES his first cradle lesson,
with all the circumstances from that time
until he became a man. only ripening the
conviction, when he found his country in

impulse, one whose good, rather than his
bad actions will bear his name to posterity.

That this machinery was bad last year, and
that it was made still worse by the most abb
surd mismanagement, no enc now denies;
but we trust and believe that there is no
chance of a repetition this year o! such
biunders. How the new machinery Is con-
structed we cannot at present say, further
that a new sell. acting brake has been de-
vised, which is said to be perfect, that all
the alterations have been made under the
superintendent of Mr.. Everett, the Chief
Engineer of the Niagara, and MIR. Appold,
and that Mr. Penn, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr..
Field have, We believe, been from time to
time consulted about it. So far. then, it
ought to be all that can be wished, but we
nope to be able to speak more positively ON
this point in a few days. Our readers may
recollect that when the attempt failed last
Autumn. $50 miles of the cable were safely
deposited at the bottom OF the sea. Since
that time, to the establishment OF all who
know the ives. coast OF Ireland and the
depth of water IN which the cable lay, it has
been underrun, and no less than 50 miles

and, as it was in that depth that it broke
away, the remaining $50 miles are still in
the led Of the Atlantic where they will stay
till the end of time, a permanent source OF
wonder and amusement to its marine inhabi
tants. 1t may, perhaps, be worth mention
ing, as an instance of the credulity of human
nature, that there are persons VIII" think
that this $50 miles is still to he recovered
and utilized again. 1t is, however. but fail
to state tn al these persons are in no way
connected with either the Company or lis
officers, all the latter of whom have far toe
much experience in these matters ever tc
entertain such a hopeless idea. The portion
of the cable recovered was in as perfect a
state as when first laid down, as regarded
its electrical conditions. 1t, however

perhaps, more easily have risen above the
position which he held as senator from his
native State, then to have retained it after
thirty years possession. Yet the latter was
The nobler ambition. He preferred the title
Of Pater SenatCs to the rank of President;
and if he could have perpetuated it, through
h~is'life, would have indicated his preference
in the estimation OF the wise. As it was,
the aspiring men of his State who would
have gladly pushed him forward, at last
pressed him aside. But his career was longer
than hat O; most of the statesman OF our
own land and of Europe, and not less in
huential for good, or less promising of en-
during fame. The MODEST and not deserved
tribute which history will award him, will
be that he was a patriot-a man whose
heart was imbued with the spirit of nation
slity, and hose soul and mind were devoted
TO his country.

Mr.. Benton's Last Moments.

From the Albany Argus of Saturday, we
copy the following notice of Col. Benton's
last moments:
Thus another o. the race OF patriots who
followed the revolutionary fathers and the
founders OF The Constitution, and who firmly
adhering to the traditions OF statesmanship,
nobly upheld their work, has fallen. If the
possession of large faculties, indomitabie
energies and high purposes, and the oppor-
tuniiies which enable a man to devote these
qualities to his country and to perpetua te
their fruits in history, constitute greatness,
Thomas Hart Benton Vas indeed a preat
man.
The picture Of his dying chamber is affect
ing, yet characteristic. He chung to his
labUrs 10 the last. Devoured by a cancer,
which was gradually eating out his life and
his strength, he worked rs long as he could
write, then dictated to an amenuensis: and
two days before his death, when he was
unable to move, continued to whisper to his
daughter, Mrs. Jones, his dictution of the
closing chapters, and his corrections of the
proof-sheets, which she repeated aloud to
her husband. who wrote down the words.
Through all his life a student, Col. Benton
exhibited some of the faults of what are
called "sclf-made men," He loved to parade
his knowledge, and sometimes proposed to
instruct the world in what most men already
knew. HIS egotism was however, simple
and ingenious, and such as We believe very
often characterize the men who have DUR.
