FRENCH COURTSHIP AND MAR
. RIAGE.
[Front the Belgravia Magazine.]
- ilre.wasuppose that M. Ilorace DeNutter
has" seen Mademoiselle Rosalie Dubois, or
that she haibeen spoken of to hint, and that
on. inquiry as to her position. Ate., he finds
she is a person whom he would like to mar
ry. lie el bound to observe a rigorous com
pliance w th inexorable rules, the 'violation
of any on of which would probably be *the
ruin of all4tia hopes. -Etiquette has nothing
to say about the affixtions, but simply, likes
- treatise on strategies and tactics, lays dow4
certain methods of proceeding, without con
sidering the cause of action.
The first step which 31. Delaunay or his
parents 'must take for hint is to ask a mutual
friend to inquire of the family - of the young
lady if his offer of marriage will be agreeable.
It is absolutely contrary to all good breeding
for N. Delauday to do this himself, and, if
be is reused, good breeding requires him to
make no sign of disappointment, bat to re
mein with the family preeminent stir le name
pied, just on the Mine r o Qting. BB before. IS
will be comprehended that all allusion toilet
refusal would be of the worst of taste, du
plus mouth gout. But suppose M. Delau
nay has -no -eommon-friend in this case, he
must address himself to the cure of the parish
orthe family, if they are Catholics ; to the
pasteur, if they are Protestants; to the rabbi,
• if they are. Jewish, and solicit one of these to
make the inquiry. If he
, prefers may
go to the family laWyer;' and, indeed,.if the
lady is an elderly person or widow, this Is
the only admitted way of arranging this pre
liminary. But in any case he must get a
suitable introduction to cure, pasteur, rabbi,
or notary.. •
IT the reply be favorable,' M. Delaunay
asks for permission to visit the family, or. he
asks to be introduced, if he has -not been so'
already. ,The first visit musttake place with
out the presence of the young lady, and:, all
affairs of' property, settlement,..dre., are then
to be discussed. The family are supposed
to be already Informed of all, details about
the position of M. Delaunay by his interme
diary; the parents or guardians are now
*apposed to puf farther questions to the
young man, and to declare whether the ye-
Plies ere satisfactory tir not, and to commu
nicate. on their side all details' about the
Young lady's fortune and expectations! The
young man is invited to visit them on a fu
ture day, - and the -day and the hour for the
visit are fixed. the replies of 3L Delaunay
are not limn(' satisfactory, the young lady's
representatives require time for reflection,
and they separate on the most cordial terms
possible, and the suitor is
,required by good
hnanding not in moon any furtiann ndinsitecca
unless he is recalled.
However, suppose M. 1/elaunay has satin.
feed the exi g encies of father, mother, guar
dian, notary , sere., and the hour for the first
visit is arranged In which he is to see the ob.
jest of his marriage intention for tile first
time as a suitor. The visit must naturally
be urrang,ed to take .plaCe when no other
visitors are expected. Good' taste 4- requires
the toilets on both sides to be carefully pro
per, although any display—une toilette tapa
giura—,l9 of the worst taste; the young ady
especially. mustbe situply bet neatly attire&
Mademoiselle Dubois, having already been
informed of the proposal, sits between her
parents; and no allusion whatever is made to
the subject of M. Delaunay's visit dosing the
first interview. It is, in Tact, a sinylevisit
of reconnoiss..ince; the enemies are placed in
presence of and examine each . other, talkin4
about. the most, indifferent things in the
- world. If, however, either on die occasion'
of the first.visit or the second„ M. Delatmay
is not satisfied - with the explanations given
him or the appearance of Mademoiselle On-:
bola, he can still retreat cenveniently by,
writing to say that a little journey, which he
.is obliged to take, will deprive him for some;
time of the.pleasure he anticipated in being
able to continue his visits, &e. ' • If, on the:
contrary, he desires to go on with the nego-'
thition, he mus ake a formal demand by
his titther,m. er.or other relative or friend,
to bead ed Into'the family under the title
of prate eft.- If the request, is accepted, M.
Del nay enghtitemediately to write a note,
to e persons toask when at will be agreea- 1
e for them to receive his visit of aeknowl-'
edgement and thanks ; and when his "visit l
takes plate, Mademoiselle Dubois, having
.been duly Informed of the present condition
of the proceedings, will, after the proper com
pliments have passed on both sides,-be sent
for; and the voting man is presented to her .
as her future husband.
Prom this time ALDelaunay is received in'
the house of the family on intimate but not:
on . familiar • terns, with respect to which;
there is a tilde distinction. • M. Delattnay Is;
,required, for example, always to come with,
a toilet suitable fur a visit of ceremony, and
the young, lady enter side,too,must observe,
a similar cArefulness. M. Delman* , Is expect-'
ed, cif 'course, to pay frequent visits to the:
house, but always in ceremonious form ; and ! !
lie should announce his intention of coming!
,by sending in the morning a bouquet to ids•
betrothed, whom indeed he will never see:
aloneinfilll the marriage is finally celebrated!
•brfore the metre in the - chord' ;for marriage',
contracts are such slippery affairs that M.l
•Delaunav, and Mademoiselle Dubois ! niayi
'have gone through nil these forma to no par
pose. It M. Delairnay should wish -to retire!
at any metnent, ho can do so Ity- writlngithe!
little billet and annonneing la tails royasre; i
and the family of the young lady could cover
her retreat by any equally simple device ; and
to prevent all unpleasant eircumstanceS,•andi
ail chance of malevolent tittle-tattle, - die!
whole affair should be kept a strict secret oni
both sides till the marriage:contract - LS finally;
signed. And, moreover, the young peimle:
will never speak to or of each other by their!
unadorned Christian names ; they must ad-'
dress each other always as Monsieur Horace!
and Mademoiselle Rosalie. But when du !
contract is signed and the marriage formally,
announced, the rigors of etiquette may relax,
in some measure tawarsi the young 'couple::
Ikt as respects. M Intuit!, it inctease%.lbr•
the father and mother of the fiance are now:
reqpired to Termer tear maison,to shut up ,
their house—that is to say, net to receive at
borne any but the members of the family ;
and Mademoiselle Rosalie will carefully,
avoid, and would not indeed tic : permitted
to make appearance dans le monde, that is,!
either in society or -any public place of
amusement. , • •
Supposing that all things have mine 4m
without difficulty up to this point, the next,
step is the sigiiing'of the:marriage contract,
or settlement ntishonld.term it. The con
tract must necessarily have been /duly ar
rand, and its provisions all aettled-and the
deeddrawn ! up, when the wiles betaket
tbemstdves to the notary who ima prepared
the doenment. In the case Of Very wealthy
families, and in the provinces, the notary
comes to the , house of the Sane, in which
ease 'etiquette.rmuires that lie, should be in;
vited to dine. It h, as with" us, esteemed an
honor to' have the document 'witnessed by tr,
NO.
prince of the blood,or a great state dignitary.
AR expenses of the proceedings are to lie
paid by the future husband. The notary
rends the document; M. Delaunay rises,
makes a bow to his fiance, as though to ask
her consent, takes the pen, si"us the deed,
and then passes the pen to Mademoiselle
Rosalie. The young lady then signs in turn,
and then passes the pen to the mother of her
intended, who passes it on to the mother of
the bride, and so on through the Members of
the family present, who sign for the most
part in the order of their age. - -• •
It is on this day M. Delaunay is expected
to send the presents known as the mrbeille (Is
mariaqe.
The value of the presents should amount
to about ten per cent. of the dot of the lady,
They r onsit generally of shawls, jewels, lace,
• furs, gloves, tans, books, and a purse contain
ing it certain number of gold pieces of money.
which should be new. These presents should
be put either in an elegant box. or in a Work
. tablealestined to form a part of the furniture
of the young couple. The eorbeille should ar
rive on the morning of the signing of the con
tract; accompanied with a handsome bouquet
of flowers; and the cotheille, together with
the trousse of the fiancee, which by this time
should be prenart:d, is exhibited in her room,
tastefully arranged with flowers, for her
friends - to admire. If there is a ball that
evening, as is customary, at the house of the
fiancee, the young lady should be in white.
She opens the ball with her inteniled, and in
the second quadrille she beim:las de draft to
the notary, who in olden dines had the right'
of kissing her on the cheek. Everybody who
signs the marriage deed is expected to make
a present to the young holy. .• -
After the wedding, which demands two
ceremonies, the civil and the religious, comes
the honeymoon. It is not generally the cus
tom now in France to take - a journey oiler
the marriage ; on the contrary, the wedding
party often spend the day together, go fora
drive in the Bois de . Boulogne, and have a
dinner and ball in the evening. At the ,din
'net, the bride and bridegroom should be
plated opposite to each other, the bride hav
ing on her right the father of her husband,
her own mother sitting to the, right of the
bridegroom; and the bride is. to be the first
served at the table. At the conclusion of the
dinner, a toast is proposed for the young mar
ried couple: - One-of the remoins of the bride
propose the health of the bride, and one of
teinOtra nt the blidegrOrnif propoSes the
health of the bridegroom. Oratory is re
quired to be brief, and the fathers or the par
ties return thinks for their respective chil
dren ;lint, above all, no singing is expected
antong decent people; therefore, if any-Eng
lishman. finds himself present at such . a fes
tival, he' must not propose to sing the Roger
Bonito:now of Berauger. The guests who
have been invited to dine are expected before
leaving begin
give an Invitation to the young
couple for a dinner or a soiree; and such a
return is called a rendude luxe, and they are
allowed a whole month for the giving of the
results de face, at which, naturally, the best
- places and all the honor are given to the new
couple. Not one of course must appear at
the marriage in mourning; even a widow, if
en grande dull, must appear at the marriage
of her daughter in white and gray. Jn the
best society, however, the festivity or dinner
and ball tales place on the day of the sign
ing of the marriage contract and it is to be
observed that a protestant minister may be
Invited td the wedding, but a Priest never.
At the ball the bride opens the dance with the
guest to whom she wishes to pay the greatest
attention, and the bridegroom does the sane
thing. The newly-married pair dance in
front of each other in the first quadrille, but
in the second they dance together. After
this the bride has the -privilege of inviting
whom she pleases fir the rest of the evening.
The bride and bridegroom retire as quietly
as. possible , the latter some time after the
former, and everybody does his best not to
observe their departure. The lettres the faire
part of the marriage are to be sent within fif
teen days, nod the persons who receive them
are expected to pay a marriage visit within
a month.
A. Woman's Work.
The truthfulness of the following sketch,
by Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, of what some

Advice to a Bride.

groom and demand-sr solemn vow of Lith o

en air of iil•hwnor merely to tease, becomes
earnest in practice. ' Murk that ! Next

never to keep n storm tram each other, un

whatever pretext,. whatever excuse it
might be. You mustcontinually and every
moment see cleritly into each other's bosom.
Even when lineal' von has committed a fault,
wait for an instant, but confess it freely. Let
it cost tears, but confess it. And as you
keep secret nothing from each other, so on
the contrary, preserve - the privacies of your
house, marriage state, And-heart from father,
mother, sister, brother, . aunt and all the
world. You , two, with God's help, build
your Own quiet world. Every third or fourth
one you drew into it with you will font a
party, and stand between you two. That
should never be. Promise thisto each other.
Jtemetnber the vow to each temptation. You
will tiod your account in It. Your souls will
grow, as it were to each other, and at last
will become as one. Ah, if many a pair had,
on their wedding day, known this secret, how
many a marriage were happier than, alas
they are !

the Punitlimetit.of
Mr. James Greenwood haspubl,leited
London a frightful account of - the silent sys
tem, which is in operation at the Holloway
Model Prison in London:
It is an•offeise for a prisoner to speak one
word, and he is never addressed except in
whispers, so that he maybe in the prison for
two years withoutitearing the natural sound
of a human voice! The effect of this is so
terrible on the .mind that the prisoners will
speak out In desperation at - the risk of any
punishment, rather than endure that horrible
silence. a
The .prisoners never see one another, but
remain in perpetual' solitude. One poor
wretch, driven to desperation by nine months'
solitude and silence, recklessly broke out in
Mr. Greenwood's presence In these- words:
"For God's sake, Governor, put me in• an
other cell ! Put tile somewhere else l I have
counted the bricks in the tell I am in till my
eyes ache !" '
The request of the tortured wretch wait
refused!
There is u flue hole iu each cell, and as
the warders wear shoes of India rubber
soles, the prisoner never can beisure ho Is
alone.
Those condemned to the treadmillhave to
ascend twelve hundred steps every alternate
twenty minutes_ for six hours. And this in
place so hot and close that prisoners often
lose in perspiration three stone in as many
mocults. - Every day the prisoners are taken
to a chapel so arranged that they can see no
one save the chaplain, and him only through
an iron grating. - And this is • the order of
devotion observed: "Warders arc constantly
on the watch ; lest for a single instant they,
through thi! whole of the service, depart from
the rigid rale 'itvf "'eyes right." They must
look steadfastly at the=preacher ; must raise
syl lower their prayer book with the.elbows
soared, arid all at once,like soldiers at drill.
They may not scrape their feet without
having afterwards to explain the movement.
They may scarcely wink an eye or sigh with
out danger_of rebuke and punishment. God
help them, poor wretches."
Tan EDUCATION or Girtia.—Attend as
much to neatness as you do to economy. 'Ac
custom girls never to suffer anything about
themto - be unclean or in disorder; lead them
to notice the slightest derangement in a
house ; show to them that nothing contri
butes more to neatness and economy than
keeping things in their proper place. This
may seem trifling, yet it leads to very
portant consequences; for then, when any
thing. is wanted, there is no difficulty in find
ing it; and when it is done with, it will be
returned to the place it was taken from.
This exact order forms the most essential
part of neatness. For instance, a dish will
not get broken .or soiled If it is put in its
proper place as soon as it has been used.
The carefulness which makes - us place things
in order, makes us keep them clean. Joined
to all' these advantages is that or giving to
domestics habits of neatness and activity. by
obliging them to place things in order, and
keep them clean. -
IIeAvEN AND was reading the
other day, that on the shores of the Adriatic
sea, the wives of the fishermen, whose hus
bands are kraut upon the deep, are in the
habit at eventide of going down to the sea
shore, and singing, as female voices only can,
the first stanza of a beautiful hymn. After
they have song it, they listen till they hear
twine by the winds across the desert Sea, the
second stanza sung by theirgallant husbands
as they are tossed by the gale upon the waves
and both are - happy. Perhaps if we would
listen, we too might hear in the desert world
of hours some sound, some whisper borne
from afar, to remind us there is a heaven
and a home; and when we sing the hymn
upon the shorils of earth, perhaps we shall
hear Its sweet echoes breaking in music upon
the shores of
. time, and cheering the hearts
of them that are pilgrims and strangers, and
look for a city that has foundations.
QUAItRELING.-If anything in the world
matte a mauled badly, except pinching his
fingers in the crack of the d00r,.11 is unques
tionably a quarrel. No _ man ever fails to
think less of himself alter it than before. It
dezrades him in the eyes - of others, and, what
is worse, blunts his sensibilities on the ono
hand, andiincreases the power of passionate
irritability, on the other. The truth is, the
more peacefully and quietly we get on, the
better for! our neighbors. In nine eases out
of ten, the better course is, if a man cheats
you. avoid b 1 X ; if he is abusive, quit his
company; and if he slanders you, live so that
nobody will believe him. No matter who
he is, im how he misuses you, the wisest Way
is to let him alone ; for there is nothing bet
ter than this cool, calm, and toilet way bt
dealing with the wrongs we meet with.
