belonging to friend. or more generally to
some poor person. (for the laws of pop
ulation in the poor differ from those in the
rich,) the adoption is regularly registered
by the civil authorities, and the child be-
comes heir-at-law to the property of its new
parents, and cannot be disinherited by any
subsequent caprice Of the parties; they are
bound to support it suitably to their rank,

do not think it can be called digress-
ion to turn from the subject of children to
that of marriages are at least a doz :
en- advertising match-makers in Paris; and
every day in the year we find, in the hetiteS
1Hichcs, advertisements OF maids and
widows, with from $500 to csc, 900 fortune
The most celebrated of these match-makers
is a M. Nilliaume, man decidedly born
with the organ of conjunction, wherever it
may lie; and he has proved that great wit
to madness is nearly allied: the providing
for SO many damsels turned his brain, and
poor Nilliaume was sent to Charenton (Bed-

inquired OF each crazy inmate what was his

and " was delighted to find that he was in

couple Of enperors, five kings, princes,
dukes, marquises, counts, barons, and gem

in another book they signed an engagement
to Villiaume to pay him a handsome per
centage on the fortunes of the ladies they
might marry. In the mean time, he found
means to get message sent to the female
ward. requesting the ladies to state their
ranks, ages, fortunes, &c. Answers came
from them all in the same style as that OF
the men; and Nilliaume anticipated gold
en- harvest. in the firm persuasion that all
the accounts furnished were accurate and un-
questionable. Unfortunately, few ice poul
tices on Nj. Villaune's head dssipated the
splendid dream, and he found the surest ne
gociations would be at his old establishment
in the Rue Neuve st. Eustache.
