English and French MarrIages.

The difference between the customs of
England and France, in regard to mar
riages, are we'll portrayed in the following
article. As marriages in this country fol-
low the English rule pretty much, the
comparison will be found quite interesting:
At party given in Paris lately the con-
versation turned upon English and French
marriages, and as several Frenchmen of
note who had married English wives were
present, the discussion was based on toler-
ably correct knowledge. Most of those
present objected strongly to the English
way of bringing up the daughters of
wealthy houses in all the luxurious habits
of their fathers homes. Their riding
horses, their maids, their affluenoe of

And all the starry regions round
Be shorn Of half their mystery.

And hidden springs of thought where dearth
Dried up the mind, be Cpd within.
And from the heart of man q stream
Of love shall rise, and whelm the soul,
Till all the world from pole to pole
With one vast brotherhood shall team.

Avenging visitants shall come;
No more million mouths be dumb,
A million warriors felled In war.

And man shall know no other Lord

How man, with fierce and wicked will,
Could rise his brother man to kill

And her tall forest sons shall raise
Their green-rObed arms to heaven, and praise
Ascend in one harmonious voice.
The lark shall sing from morn to eve,
Complaining, that the hours are few
To tell its love, and sweetly through

Melodious songs, that charm the ear,
Dying and fainting like dream
Over forest, field and stream,
While listening still, we think we hear.

The liberal contributions made him on New

ly printed address and the service render
ed them BY weekly carrying to their doors
the STAR. The Carrier boy lrndges around,
making his weekly visits with the STAR,
through rain and ihrough sunshine, thus
fully earning the little amounts he receives.
Fifs5-two calls are made by him at the res
ideucs OF each patron, in his district, in
year and one cent per call from each one
ia single year does not seem very much
although il would amoant 10 ifiy-two cent
form each patron, and out of one hundred
Subscribers the Carrier would realize the
snm of ffiy-two dollars. But hall that sum
would satisfy him very well for his trouble.
