CoURTsHIp OF SAvAGEs.-Among the aborigi-
nal blacks of Australia, courtship as the pre-
clrsor of marriage is unknown. When young
warrior is desirous of procuring wife, he gen.
orally obtains one by giving in exchange for
her sister or some other female relative of his
own, but if there should happen to De no eligi-
ble damsel disengaged in the tribe to which he
belongs, then he hovers around the encamp
ment of some other blacks until he gets an op-
portunity of selling one of their leubras, who,
perhaps, he has seen and admired at one of the
f.asts of the corrobories His mode Of paying
his addresses is simple and efIicacious. With
blow of war club he stuns the object of his
affection" and as she RECEIVERS her senses,
brings her home to his own guuyale in triumph
Another method with wife stealers is to ascer-
tain the camp fire beside which the girl whom
he covets sleeps. When he gains the knowl-
edge he requires, he creeps close to the camp
on some dark, windy night, and, stretching out
his spear, inserts its barbed point among her
thick, flowing locks, turning it slowly around,
some of her hair becomes entangled with it,
then, with sudden jerk, she is aroused from
her slumber, and as her eyes open she feels the
point of another weapon pressing against her
throat. She neither fainfs nor screams. She
knows we'll that the slightest attempt at escape
or alarm will cause her instant death; so, like
a sensible woman, she makes 4 virtue of neces-
sty, and rising silently, she follows her captor
to begin life of toll from which she is not re-
leased till death.

Paskart then described the fair squaw whom

"Now yoe may CO." said the Algonquin, "but

The Irdian faithfully redeemed his word.-
The ne% night he returned to the spot with the
handsome Iroquois, whose heart being free, had
easily been persuaded to become the wife of so
great warrior. She was received with much
kindness by her strange lover, and instead of
regreting the step she had taken, seemed proud
of the distinguished honor conferred upon her.
They then sat down, ate, and smoked togeth-
er, and then parted, the Iroquois to return to
the village, and Paskaret and his bride to per-
fagnl a long journey to the country of the Al

He reached his warriors in safety. His re-

while his fair wife was not little envied by

ordinary beauty, and the good fortune which
had made her the partner of the brave Pas

lE1~ We don't know that it is any body's par
ticular business how any other bodies may
choose to have their nuptial ceremonies cele-
brated, and yet there is kind of plain repub-

and admire how the apng of European fun
meries in the solemn and sacred compact in
which a man and woman pledge the selves to
be all in all to each other for cvermore. On
such occasions, that true delicacy which is in
born is shocked at the calling in OF the giddy
werldlings, to witness how gaudily such an affair
can be done up, how much silk and laces and
satins and trinkets the brides and bridesmaids
can load themselves with, how the officiating
clergymen can trick themselves out in gear
worthy of the stage, how the tables can be load
ed with presents in compensation for the honor
of an invitation to the wedding, and how gorge
ously the whole affair can be carried on so that
Jenkins may startle the silly reader with his
glowing and particularizing description of the
beautiful" bride, the elegant groom, &C.
How much more respectable and proper that
simple ceremony where the honest groom meets
his modest bride, in the presence of few init
mate and sincere friends and relations, and
with an intelligent consciousness of the impor
tant relations they are about to assume, the pas
tor performs the ceremony in manner impress
sive in its simplicity, and the vulgar display
of weak minds and the vulgar criticism of
promiscuous crowd are avoided View such
things as you may, when the consideration of
them is brought down to the real hard pan
foundation, there is a species of "shoddysm"
about all straining for effect in the silly world
of fashion that is extremely offensive and dis
gusting to the better sense Of truly sensible

"Well, first of all, is our vegetable enamel,

madame it is soon removed, and leaves

quantity to the forehead of our companion.-
The result on the face of clear brunette was
startling. The marble smoothness, and at the
same time the sauny texture, was marvellous.
Then he took another sponge and applied

"Oh, not at all; we are only just beginning.

He might well say this, for it is only once in
million such beautiful eyes, eye-lashes and
brows are given woman. He called to a
young lady of the establishment and said
"Miss Blank, will! you permit me ?"
She pleasantly assented, and taking small

Mime. SOOieSEi---A Noble Wife.

During the troubles in Poland which follow
ed the revolution of Thaddeus Kosciusko, many
of the truest and the best of the of that ill
fated country were forced to flee for their lives,
forsaking home and friends. OF those who had
been most eager for the liberty of Poland, and
most bitter in enmity against Russia and Prus-
sia, was Michael Sobieski, whose ancestor had
been king hundred and fifty years before.
Sobieski had three sons in the patriot ranks.
and father and sons had been of those who had
persisted in what the Russians had been pleased
to term rebellion, and price had been set upon
their heads.
The Archduke Constantine was eager to ap-
prehend Michael Sobieski, and learned that
the wife of the Polish hero was at home in Cra-
cow, and he waited upon her.
"Madame,' he said, speaking politely, for the
lady was beautiful and queenly, 81 think you
know where your husband and sons are hidng?"
"I know, sir"
"If you tell me where your husband is your
sons shall be pardoned."
"And shall be safe?"
eyes, madame. swear it. Tell me where
your husband is concealed, and both you and
your sons shall be safe and unharmed."
"Then, SIR" answered the noble woman, ris-
ing with dignity sublime, and laying her
hand upon her bosom, she lies concealed bere
in the heart of his wife, land you will have
to tear this heart out to find him."
Tyrant as he was, the Archduke admired the
answer, and the spirit which had inspired it,
and deeming the good will of such woman
worth securing, he forthwith published a full
pardon of the father ard the sons.
