MArTiAge Life in France.

Chiefly the authority Of travellers who haye
described life as they slw ii, and who have
not always seen it from the most domestic
point Of view, large numbers hare ceme to
believe France one Of the most immoral
countries in Europe, unless italy be excepted.
Paris is probably about as loose capital Us
any need wish to see. Yet vice and virtue
are not mixed up, even in Paris, as DR.. San
ger has shown them to be, in every street in
New York nor does vice walk the street as
unblushingly. But all great cities are great
sores in some point Of view, as Jefferson has
truly said and French cities are more sys.
tematlcally dspraVed probably than many
Others. But be who secs tue corruption Of
French city life, and judges thereby Of the
whole French nation, greatly misjadges tue
bulk Of tue people. And nothing seems to be
better established than that the email farmers
and the country people generally, who form
the masses, are very much like that class of
people, all the world through, and about
equal to the average in point Of mortality,
marrying ind giving In marriage, like the
rest Of the world.
Population does not inoreaso quite 20 fast
in France as in England, nor in England, OF
course, as in the United States But France
furnishes, at least, the most authentic aud &C.
curate statistics, exhibiting the effects OF ev-
cry different mode Of life, upon the national
prosperity. In this respect, it is fur before
every other country on the globe.
Out OF thirty six millions ofinhabitants in
France. fifteen and half millions are mar
ried, or ln state Of wfdowhood. This, Ger
tainly, does not look us though marriage was
tleIe m obsolule Institution. Eight and a
hall millions are bachelors or epIasters, le "
