Captain Nelson Of the Paragon, a
steamboat bound on distant voyage
with her cargo, who, on hearing OF

aa, feeling myself amply compensated for
shas have done, by the honor OF having
1een passenger with our distinguished guest,

aase received from YOU"

FEMALES OF TARTARY.

Some of the Tartar women wear long snow-white
wells, which conceal not only the face but the
whole of the head and upper part of the body and
as if wells insufficient to protect them from OBJ
servation, they no sooner behold man than they
hang their heads and endeavor to escape notice BY
fight. An English servant, observing this practice,
deemed it to be an act of rudeness on his part to
give them the trouble of hiding their faces, and of
running away his account; therefore, whenever
he encountered them, he covered his face and took
to his heesn order to hide hnsefi in the first place
he could find. This passed unnotced for some
time at length, the Tartar women struck by the
singularity of seeing always avoiding them,
let fall portion Of their wells when they next met
him but this only caused him to run faster than be-
fore. Such conduct excited their curiosity more
than ever, and at last they fairly hunted him after
following him in parties to his hiding place with
their wells off, they resolved to see man. who for
the first time concealed his face at the approach of
a woman ; and, having caught him, they actually
demanded an explanation Of his unaccountable be-
havour

EXi'R ACT

From tile third and fourth gohmes Of MADAME de
GenEs' Memoirs, Just published
In the year 1899, Madame de Genlis visited Spa,
along with the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, and
amongst her remarks concerning the placeand visit
ers, the following euogium upon Spanish lady,
for her coniugal afeetion merits quotation, as Illus
trating the manners ofthe age:
e We BESIDES at Spa, young and charming
lady, the Countess of Rechtereu, married to a man
who might have been her father, but whom she
really loved, she proved by the attention she
paid him, and by her spotess behaviour; she was
at once clever ingenious, pretty, and fine woman,
At Spa she occasioned many unhappy attachments;
among others, the Duke OF l., young and
handsome Nobleman of the court OF France, be-
came desperately in love with her AS It Was al
ways very difficult to approach her ear, she re-
naming constantly near the count, he thought he
had found favourable moment one morning at the
breakfast at NauXhall, as Madame de Rechtereu
was not on that occasion seated by her husband
The duke and several other gentlemen, who had
the gaantry to serve the ladies, had not sat down
to table, and his grace placed himself behind Ma
dame de Rechtereu he entered into conversation
with her, but in under tone and leaning over her,
he whispered in her ear, in low voice, atormal de-
claration of love-
Madame de Rechtereu after listening quietly to
what he was saying, made this reply :-'' My Lord
Duke | do not understand French very well, so
that have not comprehended a word of what you
have been saying but my friend there $50 she al
WAYS STYLED her husband) is better acquainted with
II II n
and he will explain them all to me very clearly"
The Duke, instead of following this advice, with
drew precipitaely, with visible air of vexation.-
The piquant answer of Madame de Rechtereu made
every one comprehend what the Duke had revealed
70 her with an air Of so much mystery.

LIFE

rshes if one be dried 1t is silver cord twisted
with thousand strings that part asunder if one is

almost all perish suddenly at last We are encom-
passed with accidents ready to crush the mou-
disease planted in our constitution by the hand
of nature. The earth and the atmosphere, whence
we draw our life, are impregnated with death -
health is made to operate its destruction the
of its decay the soul that annates it by vivifying
fire tends to it out by it's action; death turks
in ambush about All our paths
Notwithstanding this is atruth so palpabe. and
little do we lay it to heart we see our friends and
neighbors perishng around US, but how seldom does
it occur to our thoughts that knell perhaps,
shall give the next fruitless warning to the world.
Friendship is plant of slow growth in every eli
mate. Happy the man who can raise few even
where he has the most settled residence Travel

time to cultivate them. IF they be presented with
