Bul Vrjiuuchild Ih never washed until he attain the ijC ol woven yoarnj nd, for the tind year of hi Jilc, a piece of arlie (In the ease of iirirl, oneor Iwo coins) is tied upon his ht.ud to preserve him from the evil eye. As soon as he Is able to work, pe is surrounded by superstitions which he is l)Kcd to observe: if ho letches water, ho must throw away Bomo of it: if ho briiur flour from lhe mill, he must burn incense under it; in short, he cannot take a step without coming in contact With a superstition or an adet (custom), which, f not respected, will avenpe itself on him, and, without counting the spirits who lie in wait for liiuj in the forest or at the fountain, his life is filled with fenrs which go far to compensate for Us great enjoyments of eating, driuklug, and jumping.. When a young man wishes to marry, he speaks to Ilia ' parents, who arrange tlio matter with those of the lady chosen, and swaty are sent to propose tn due form; tne amount 01 the corlmillc j settled, as well as that of the baseh paraai, or head money presented by tho suitor to the jnothcr of Ids Intended, nnd then the god1, or pctrothal, takes place. This is a ceremony of great interest to all .Bulgarians, who have the jamc tastes ns those commemorated in the sons bout their great heroes, of which the constant t horns is: . I "Pak Jerte I plje." J "Aud he cuts und drinks." i The gody is usually held at the house of the girl's parents, where" the elder guests sit around I cloth spread on tho lloor nnd covered with parlous dishes all strongly flavored with garlic, Rhilc the wine jug circulates freely; in unotlior room tho young people indulge in a similar re past, and afterwards dance outside the house, he girls singing songs at intervals. The young han then brings in his presents, which consist of rarious articles of feminine clothing, several Salrs of slippers, bracelets, car-rings, a head press, and necklace of gold or silver coins, and a diver girdle; the value of these offerings is dis Misscd by the fattier of the girl, nnd a fresh bargain ensues, the suitor adding coin by coin to he necklace till his future father-in-law is satis led, and, when this result, is attained, all the ncry is placed in a teknen, a wooden disli used or making bread aud for a cradle. Then all the niests set to work again at the banquet till day light dawns upon tho many tipsy nnd the very : ..1 -Ti. . -t . .. i i . Cff.BUUL'l. UCAl UilT lilU TUU1ILI lllUV 1HUS n all the presents of her fiance, and is cousukred fs engaged. This betrothal is in no way a religious ccre jnony, nnd leaves it open to cither party to break (off the engagement, but such n rupture seldom ioecurs; the marriage never takes place within px months of the gody, and is often delayed for fwo or even throe years. With some rare exceptions, these arrange ments are by no means love matches: the young man wishes to establish himself as head of a household, and chooses a wife as he would a yoke of buffaloes, looking upon her as a ma L'hiuc for labor and the probable mother of sous fho .will in time be able to work for him, and kvhom he can beat, as his father beat him, until he became too strong to permit it; for a Bul garian son, when he grows up, makes no scru fale of returning with interest the blows re- clvcd from his lather. Thus the bride is hosen, not for tho beauty of her more or less Kalmuck features, but for the muscular strength Which will render her valuable as a beast of lurden. Sometimes you may meet with a Bulgarian Lindoro who translates his passion into the knusic of the Gaida, or courts some stalwart Ho- tina by playfully throwing lumps of mud at her s thev meet at the fountain, or who buys an normous pair of boots aud (.purs to attract the ttention of his beloved, and proves tho strength if his affection by treading upon her toes. But Lindoro here, like the true Lindoro verywhere, is poor, and perhaps seeks, by a Uninterested love, to attract iuto his own purse lew of tho zccciiini wnien no needs; at any ate, It is no blasphemy to doubt tho purity of lus motives in a country wnere a poweriuiiy built wife is a good investment, iustead of being kn expensive luxury. I nn m.ii-riurr f Q j'Y ft7 l la nrflnnrprt trtl nv t in ridegroom's Installation in his new house, and he purchase of various domestic animals, espe cially a pair of oxen or buffaloes, without tho Possession of which tho mutch would bo consi- ered a very poor one for the lady, if not en trely out of the question; when all is ready, he leiwis hlrt narents or his swatv to announce that le wudics the ceremony to take place in two or three weeks. During the week preceding the marriage, khich is always celebrated on a Sunday, the parents of the bride nnd bridegroom prepare tho uruitnre. etc., of tne new vivnane, tne girls or he village dauco before tho house of the bride, fe nd the youths pav lue same compliment to e bridegroom. On the Friday beloro the mur- iage, the presents, nung n a cora, are exhi bited in the- bride s house, and she herself has ber hair plaited into innumerable minute tresses; hen she takes, lor me nrxi ana last ume m ner ft fe. a complete bath. Horrible as this state- Lieut seems, it is the literal truth. Till the u"e 6eveuivears a child must not be touched with hater, aud. although, after that period, tho face, hands, and feet may be washed, the cleansing 1 the whole boay wouia ue cnoic gunan, a great iu. aud is nevrr practised by either malo or 'cniule Bulgarians, with the solitary exception UienUoued. On the eventful , Sunday, when tho papas Ire rendy. and ceremony takes place iu tho rhurch. if there be one, or otherwise in tha yridegroom s house, and after the marriage tho happv couple are Jed in procession to the man- lion of tlio bride's father, where the young girls Banco, corn is sprinkled over the husbaud and L-ifo, aud tho latter, her face covered with a veil r of ten scarlet'), kisses the hands of all the married Women of the village, receiving in return a fig rom each of them. Then all tho usual feasting goes on, and all tho uests drink more than is good for them, and ia iinirrud counlo are shnt up lu their own ouse for a week, during wiucu umo iuey may keitlior go out nor receive visits. - . - . . 1 I t I .. .....

At tfi ..ml of every life, whether one of hurd- Vuip t"d labor, like tho Turks, or feasting aud Idling, like the Bulgarians, Conies death; but just as tho Utter considers baptism not as the admission of tho infant into the Church of Christ, but as a mere sprinkling with water, for which . the papas receives so much, so he looks upon death ns the discharge of a more animal function. ' , When he is given over by the witch, he pre pares for tho passage from life to an unknown world with a namj froid strongly resembling courage, but which is merely tho result of a fatalism arising from apathy. Ho bargains with the papas as to the price of his burial, orders the mortuary feasts, and, in short, prepares himself very quietly to repose in tho grave which is already dug for him. During all this time the room is filled with women, shrieking nnd groan ing In a manner sufllcicnt almost to kill a healthy man. At the moment of death, all pots, kettles, and other utensils me turned upside down, in order to prevent the soul of tho departed taking refuge in ono of thorn, and therefore commeucing a system of annoyance against tlio family, candles or tapers arc lit around the body; and tho head is dressed with flowers; a great eikon (picture of a saint) Is placed upon tho breast, the body is dollied in its best clothes, or in some specially made for the purpose, and a pair of Blippcrs. w hile all tho members of the facaily run outsido and scream a lamentation, which is generally Hiur mis iasiuon: "ti 1 Tanaz! Hoc! Hoze! Who will cut wood for us now? (Shrieks aud howls.) "Who will kill the sheep, Or who will take care of the poor buffaloes? (fSlirieks aud howls.) "Who will carry the corn to the mill? W iio Will beat us as you used to do, Oil, Taimz ! (.shrieks and howls.)'' Five minutes afterwards an araba. with a couple of oxen or buffaloes, is brought rouud, containing a ladder, on which tho corpse is placed without either shroud or collln; but only iwo men accompany it, ono to drive, the other to act as sexton; arrived at tho cemetery, tho bodyis thrown iuto the grave, a few spadefuls ot earth thrown upon it, perhaps a stone is placed, nnd all is over. No burial service is ever said, for although a minimum sum of forty piasters must uo paw to ino papas ior every burial, he never appears, nor. In any way otli- iates; it the family choose to have masses said for the soul of J the dead, they must make a new bargain, but iu the couutry it is not much the fashion. The same evening there is a great death-feast of relations and friends iu the house of mourn ing, which. is repented in ten days, nud again ut the expiration of one mouth, three months, six months, a year, nnd three years; these are called in Bulgarian potninki, commemorations. If the dead man leaves a widow, she goes t the grave every morning for forty days, and throws water over it, so mat ne may not die ol thirst. ' Be sides the jioniinki, the Bulgarians hold a feast in the cemetery on Palm Sunday, and after much eating and drinking, leave the remains upon the graves of their friends, who, they are persuaded, will eat them during the night; on taster Monday an Easter egg is placed on each grave. 1 he liuigarian mourning, which i worn only by women, consists iu wearing every article of telothing inside out; as with us, it varies in dura' ion according to the consanguinity ot the rehv tion lost; that of a widow is fixed at one year. Appiewn s journal. -A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette in the south of France writes as follows about the French provincial press: "A striking illustra tion of the mental stagnation of French pro vincial life is afforded by the wealthy commercial town oi cctte, which, with 30.000 inhabitants. has not a single periodical newspaper, either political or literary, nor even an advertisement sheet, but is satisfied with a lithographed list of the quotations on tlio exchange, iu the depart ment of the llerault, which contains 400,000 in habitants, the only representatives of" the politi cal press are two newspapers appearing at Mout pellier, the capital. Of these one is the organ of the Government, the other that of the opposi tion. Botli are mere echoes of the Parisian newspapers, utterly destitute of original views, and lull of that washy Paris gossip which forms the chief attraction of the French proviueial press. ... As for tlio two non-political papers of Montpellier, Is, Lapin aud Iai 1'apilton, they are unspeakably silly aud trivial." DYE INQ AND PRINTING. ESTABLISHED 1819.
