TIIE TEN FRANC DINNER. For the middle classes there is the solemn entry of the bride and bridegroom at the Mairie, when the whole municipality are made ac quainted with the fact of Mlle. X.'s marriage There is tho drive in a white hired carriage, with tho bridegroom in a low cut vest and huge shirt front ; the colossal boi quet, taking up as much room as the mother-in-law ; there is the dinner at ten francs per head, the ball, the eclipte of the bride at five minutes to twelve, p. in., the distri bution of a bud from her orange wreath to each of her bridesmaids, and on the following day the as, sumption of newly found rights, such as ordering dinner and locking up and keeping the keys. JMARRIAQE AMONG TIHE P0OoR. In the lower classes there is tho walk in white muslin or white moxi no and veil to the Bois de I3oulogno, with a string of ten couples swinging behind in high colors and spirits ; there is the 'breakfast" beyond "the barrier," because wine pays no tax beyond the barrier. There is the mariec's garter to he divided among the bridesnen, and there is a seam ble to get at it, while the groom looks on and wishes luck to the winner. Many other are the popu - lar delasselvents on these occasions; but decorum generally prevails until the stately walking out of doors is over and dinner is taken. At this hour the white gloves are laid aside and neckties are loosened, while tall beavers are put on toward the back of the bead or jauntingly on one idO. When guests leave th table they generally reel off' in a (direction contrary to that of their hats ; but everything has been provided for, hacks are in attendance to take the noce homue-a p)lace reached without the participation of the n?ociur or even of the cocher,i- who has had his libations at the restaurant door ; but Providence wvatches even over French cochers8. NOT ALWAYs. UNhAppy. It does not follow blcause mar riages are made up so lightly that all are unhappy ; mariages d'inclina tion often are disastrous mistakes, and long courtships are in France frequently attended with uinpleas-~ antness ; buzt hero alone can relative happiness attend suach an extraordi-. nary system as that I have been describing. This can be accounte(l for. The iPariaiennte is endowed by nature with a spirit of intuition not given' to other Eur-opean ladies ;. her discernment enables her to com-~ prehend things quickly, and a very acute-saying is that of the thinker who wrote, "He who understandR everything can forgive everything." This understanding means a great deal in French marriedl life ; it en ables the wife to work hard while the husband rests himself or idles his time, and I am also sorry to say that it sometimes prompts and er. ables her to seek compensation foi this neglect of his duty. SUN SPOTS.-The phlenomena of sun spots are now familiar ; multi,~ tudes of people have seen themi and everybody has read about them. It is wvell known that tho surface of the sun is not that uniform disk of light that it was formerly supposedl to be, but abunds in gulfs, dark cbasms, up rushing streams of flamimg gases, and lurid promni nonces, sometimes 100,000 miles high. But these striking effects are not umiform; the sea of solar fire like our own oceans is sometimes violently agitated and sometimes quiet. The sp)ots are variable, b.eing now many and enormous in gize, and again few and small. This periodicity, moreover, is proved to Pay your subscription to the Iow rlocoios.

They are mild, but effectual in their opera tion, moving - the )Owels surely and without pain. ai ~ Aithouigh genl tie in their op eration, they are still the most thorough and search ing cathartic medicine that canl bo employed: cleansing the stomach and bowels, and even the blood. In small (loses of one pill a day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vig orous health. AyEn's PILLs have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have obtained a world-wide reputation for their virtues. They correct dis eased action in the several assimila tive organs of the body, and are so composed that obstructions within their range can rarely withstand or evade them. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also formidable and danger ous diseases that have bailled the best of human skill. While they produce powerful effects, they are, at the same time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never give pain when the bowels are not inflamed. They reach the vital fountalus of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing it from the elements of weakness. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre serves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take; while being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. PREPAr.D DY Dr. J, C.

There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 187r. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreie kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the hands of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.--N. V. Tinne, Nov. 19, 187y. The above speaks for itself, but we would add That this is the pure juice of the grape. neither drugged, liguored nor watered; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggisla throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
