"CONSTITUTIONAL TILNDENCY."—Captain R—,
• naval officer of high character, wee compelled, by painful
indications of nephritic disease, to call one morning on an
eminent physician. Sir Henry listened with deep concern
to the captain's symptoms, looked at his tongue and felt
his pulse, but drew his conclusions chiefly from the captain's
rubicund now " For the next two or three months," said
Sir Henry, " I must beg you to abstain entirely from wine,
and from all spirituous and fermented liquors." "From
beer and spirit., if you like," said the captain ; " but after
dinner I must have my glees of wine. I can't do without
my glass of " You really mug do without it,"
replied Sir Henry, "if you wish to get wall." " Get
well, Sir Henry'" answered the captain. " Why, I came
to you, expecting you would give me something to make
tee well. I cant do without my glair, of wine." (N.B.
The glass of wine, without which the captain could not do,
we. a glass out of the second bottle.) Sir Henry, finding
remonstrance vain, gave a general turn to the conversation,
and presently the captain rose to take leers. Sir Henry,
with extraordinary courtesy, attended him towards the
front door. While they were passing through the hall,
Sir Henry, as if struck by • sudden thought, paused oppo-
site the door of his front parlour. "By the by, Captain
R—; " said he, " this is my museum. Perhaps you would
like to walk in and take a look. There are some curious
things." They entered. The museum consisted entirely of
anatomical preparations, made by Sr Henry himself. The
captain looked first at one, then at another, with interest
bat also with awe, such sa others have felt under similar
circumstances. "Now this," said Sir Henry, taking down
a bottle which contained something preserved in spirits,
and planing it in the captain's hands, "is the kidney in it,
healthy state." The captain surveyed it with much gravity.
"This," said Sir Henry, taking down another bottle, "ice a
kidney in that state of incipient disease, in which yours le
at the present time." The captain viewed it with comical
concern. "This," continued Sir Henry, taking down a
third bottle, "is what your kidney will be a few months
hence." The captain stood agbiust. "And this," added Sir
Henry, taking down a fourth bottle, "is what your kidney
will become in its but and fatal state." The captain bolted!
However, the captain gave up his glass of wine. which he
couldn't do without, and, thanks to Sir Henry's original
mode of dealing with a refractory patient, recovered his
health. Nevertheless, the captain used always to maintain
that he bad a " constitutional tendency" to nephritic
malady ; in support of which thesis he was accustomed to
state that his father the admiral had a tendency to the
same form of disease. I can just remember the admiral,
and of one thing I have a perfect recollection—the admiral,
like his son, had • very red Que.—Blackwood. Magazine

IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT IN FRANCE. —The Em-
peror is a great encourager of expense in male and female
• habilimenta, sod also of extravagance in horses and
equipeges. Hundreds of the finest English riding and car-
riage horses are now in Paris, purchased by various func-
tionaries of the court, for which prices varying from one
hundred to five hundred scions have been paid. The
luxury in broughams is very great. Three hundred guineas
is so uncommon price to give for a miniature brougham,
hung low, with panels highly varnished, and lined in the
interior with expensive silk, and velvets. Thirty, twenty,
and fifteen years ago, the French carriages were of wretched
build, heavy, lumbering, mid criumnecked. They were
then far behind the Belgian and Viennese, and were not to be
named in the same century with the English. Now, so far is
the panelling, varnishing, and interior lining and decoration
go, the French are before the English, though their

of horses, dogs, and all animals useful to man.
He is also a great patron of agricultural meetings, of dog-
shows, of races, and steeplechases. He was present at the
dogebow, and also at the races of Chantilly and the steeple-
chase at Vincennes. This has rendered him very popular
with the Jockey Club, which holds its meetings at the
Grand Hotel, Boulevard dee Capucine. The riding of
Frenchmen and of Frenchwomen has wonderfully improved
since 1848. Moat Frenchmen now rise io the saddle in a
trot as we English do, and ladies canter as boldly as our
English Amazons, or "loud women." The Empress also

fights. She also eocourages extravagance in female attire,
and has perpetuated the odious fashion of the crinoline.
Fabulous prices are now paid in Paris for female attire, and
• dress is rarely worn twice at court parties and halls. A
day of reckoning will surely come for all this extravagance.
Meantime the people are amused by music, dancing, and
cheap bread.—Froser's Magazine for June.
AN Arrrwort's Commarrer.—Some of the worst
iwitanoss of cruelty to authors which I have ever witnessed
have been intimately coon xted with domestic' life. " Don't
mind talking," said a maiden aunt, one of a large fireside
group—it is always, by the bye, the ladies who ere offending
in this way—" Don't mind talking ; I can read just as well
with conversation going on ; indeed, it amuses me." Now
here is a pretty state of things. Is it for this that we
labour ever nor compositions—for this that we concoct
plots, in whose construction no one can find a flaw—for
this that we elaborate character—for this that we make
our dialogue to sparkle—for this that we are humorous till
our own sides ache with laughing, pathetic till oar manu-
script is blotted with our team—to have our polished
periods, our humours, our pathos, our eloquence, mixed up
with questions about washing bills, anecdotes of little
Billy's precocity of remark, and the like vanities? Alas !
it is so. As that maiden aunt sits by and read', she is
ever ready to put in a word in the conversation which in
going on around. If Mary and Josephine have a difference
of opinion as to the number of dresses which their elder
sister has had in the course of the season, there is Aunt
Eliza, who was, to all appearance, "deeper than did ever
plummet sound" in the sorrows of Werther, reedy with
her statistics--" There was the grey limey in the early
spring, becalm, I remember," she said, " her dark droquet
was too shabby for the light days ; there was the violet
dinner dress, which she bad to dine with the Fingerglasses ;
there was the cheque silk and two muslins," Sze., Sm. All
this is said in the midst of the Mars and agonies of Wei,
ther ; for your professed novel-reader can absolutely talk
and read at the same moment, and will mutter, "that
was the year when Tommy had the measles," without
lifting her eyes from the page. But it is not the novel
alone that is thus treated. I have seen other and deeper
works, by sullen who shall be nameless, sacrificed in the
same manner at the domestic hearth. Nor are maiden
aunts the only offenders. Mothers. who may have sons
who will one day write books themselves, have a knack of
reading sod watching at the same time, which may be
very convenient, but which I hereby beg to denounce as •
practice unbecoming to a British metros. Never is
mamma so occupied with the volume before her, but that
she can sees—over, or under, or through it—what is going
on among her offspring. Never is she more ready to
frown upon them than from behind a book. " Georgic
do not pull that unfortunate kitten about so dreadfully."—
" Dear Alice, you really must Dot sit like that • why, your
shoulders are up to your ears." Has the reader never
heard words of this kind from behind a book—ay, sod an
interesting book, too? Is this the way to bring up chil-
dren? What sort of reverence will they feel in after life
for-a volume which they look upon as a kind of domestic
ambush ?—Macmillon's Magazine for June.
