CULTIVATION OF THE BEAUTIFUL.

It has been the fashion-with prudes and pedants, time imme-
morial, to run down the advantages of externaLappearancel-
thus the phrases "Outside show," and " Skin-deep beauty,"
had obtained a sort of ourrency which gave the o hers of
similar import, an appearance of grave au v. The present
age. is bold enough to. question this • m, an-d,even to go as
far as to extol the study of extern as a duty to.society, which
should have presented to it ad able objects, and now contends
that the cultivation of the- utiful holds a place.second in im-
portance only to the pr otion of the good. This it is which
holds out encourage tto those who labour to pot the public
in possession of is to this end. Oldridge's Balm of Co-
lumbia, as the st effective preservative or renovator of that
beautiful orna ent the Human Hair, takes first rank, and as
long ac its val table properties continue to be known and appre-
ciated; must take the precedence of every production intended
for exterior improvement in this direction.

SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.—The New York papers
relate the following remarkable case as having recently
occurred in one of the Western towns :—A young mer-
chant of good standing and fair prospects professed an
attachment to .a young woman -equally respectable, and
their intimacy led to the loss .of her innocence. He
refused to marry her, but offered•to commit suicide if she
would, and thus end their lives together. They so
agreed, each swallowing a large portion of laudanum, and
after this repaired to their respective residences to die.
The:merchant reached his lodgings, -coolly stretched him-
self on his bed, declaring he was weary of his life, and
expired. The female was taken sick before she could
reach her own residence, and declaring,what she had done,
was saved by the application of immediate remedies.
MIRA4E AT BIRKEKHEAD.—On the 27th September,
1847, a very extraordinary mirage was witnessed at Clifton
Park, Birkenhead, on the Cheshire coast of the Mersey.
The astonishment of those who were so fortunate as to
behold this unique mirage must not have been slight
when they witnessed in the:sky above Liverpool an image
of Edinburgh. The day had been warm and the sky was
serene, with light gray clouds in the horizon, upon which
the enchanting scene was depicted. The principal places
in the city were roost distinct and clear, and seemed as if
laid out by the painter. The mirage continued nearly an
hour, and, what is curious, the figures were erect. Gazing
with delight and wonder at the fairy scene, it was recol-
lected that at that time a large panoramic model was being
exhibited in the open air by the side of a pool in the
Zoological Gardens of Liverpool, opposite to Birkenhead.
The scenic representation of the Scottish capital was
painted in oil, on one side only, and was in different
pieces, the front view of which presented an angle of 45
degrees to the river. The model was a good representa-
tion of Edinburgh; and the aerial picture could not be
mistaken, especially by those who were familiar with the
real eity,—Thomson's Introdoction to Meteorology,
