No their advice ia all matters, particu-
arly if inimical TO the foregoing instruc-
lions.
10. Cherish neatness without luxu-
~, and pleasure without excess; dress
with taste. and particularly with modes
iy; vary the fashions Of your dress, es-
pecially in regard to colours. 1t gives
q change to the ideas, and recalls pleas
ing recollections. Such things may APP
pear trifliug, but they are of more i'm
portance- than is imagined.
IL. Never be curious 10 pry into
your husbands concerns, but obtain bis
confidence By that which, at all times,
you repose in him. Always preserve
order and economy; avoid being out OF
temper, and be careful never TO scold
BY these means he will find his own
house more pleasant than any other.
12. Seem always to obtain informa-
ton from him, especially before compa-
ny, though you may pass yourself for a
simpleton.-NeVer forget that wife
: owes all her importance TO tina: of her
husband. Leave him entirely master OF
his actions, TO 60 or come whenever he
thinks fiji. A wife ought to make her
company so amiable 10 her husband,
that he will not be able TO exist without
IT.; then he will NOT seek for any pleas
ure abroad, if she does not partake of il
with him.
The Tdllipos Tree.--A leaf Of this ex
traordinary tree has lately been brought
over from the island of Ceylon, Of
which place il is native, and is now ia
the possession of the Rev. Richard
Fletcher, of Hampstead. The leaf is
in a good state of preservation: il
measures fully IL feet in height, Is feel
across its widest spread, and from SO to
90 feet in circumference. If expanded
as canopy, it is sufficient to defend a
dinner party Of six from the rays of the
sun, and in Ceylou is carried about by
the natives for that purpose.

A SKETCH.

A. great and powerful king had a
sister, distinguished for extreme per-
soma! beauty, for great powers and cul-
tivation of mind, and for most am-
liable and bene, olcni disposition. She
was remarkable, also, for proficiency
in those accomplishments which throw
such additional charm over female
beauty and intellect. In music. es-
pecially, she took excessive pleasure,
and possessed extreme skill. She was
the favorite Of her brother, and was
regarded with all that consideration
which such favor gives in an abso-
lutte court. Youth, beauty, feeling,
talent, power-all seemed joined to
shower roses on her path-to give to
it all happiness. But this was not to
last. A young nobleman appeared at
the court, who soon attracted univer-
sal attention. Peculiarly fitted to
shine in such scenes, it was not long
before his success Ito use the word in
its French signiiication) became great
and undoubted. Among others, the
princess admired the young courtier,
and soon she loved him. Their mu-
tual affection was what might be ex-
pected between two persons of fiery
passions, and habits Of little self-con-
troll. II did not, therefore, remain
long unperceived. The young man
was advised to withdraw himself--but
all such cautions were vain to youth
ful and favored passion. He remain
ed. At last he was seized and impris-
oncd, and after various escapes, was
finally thrown into a dungeon, where
he was totally cut off from all COM
munication with the world, to which
he was as if he had never BEEN
During his first Imprisonment, the
princess had contrived TO convey to
him her assurances of continued af-

A worn-out man, with wiihcred limbs and lame,
His mind oppressed with woes, and bent with age hi,
Frame"
Ii is her lover. His hair has been
whitened by intense and continued
suffering, rather than by the work of
time; his body has been doubled by
the weight Of iron which il bore for
ten years. He was that time in soIi-
tary confinement, loaded with heavy
chains, and scrupu!ously debarred
from the slightest mitigation of his con-
dition, physical or mental. But many
more Years are now passed.-The ty-
rant is dead, and the lovers may meet.
How would they have recognized each
other? The gay cavalier, flushed
with the pride of youthful beauty and
general admiration, brilliant in pres
ent fortune, and anticipating still high
er destiny; and the young princess,
the lovely, the gifted, the worshipped
happy in the affection of the man
she loved, high in hope Of its ultimate
crowning and accomplishment--these
are now old, broken in health and in
heart, and dropping into the grave
through the accumulation Of all earth
ly misery. 1t is their first, their last,
their only meeting.
In this awful hour, (for so may it
indeed be called, woman's resolution,
like woman's love, proves superior to
that of man.
This story is no fiction. 1t is one
so we'll known, that it is scarcely nec-
essary to add that the princess Ame-
liza of Prussia, sister Of Frederic cali
ed the Great, and Baron Trenck, are
the hero and heroine Of the piece.

THF PHRASE BLUE SrecKrNc

THF PHRASE "BLUE STOCKING"
MANY of the orders whose histories
fill the pages Of works on knighthood
have no claims to their places, with
out either royal or pontifcal authori-
ty, and wearing no badge or cross ex-
cept in the imagination of the writer.
The society de la Calza (or the stock
ing) was formed at Venice in the year
400, to the honour Of the Inaugural
ton ofthe Doge Michele Steno. The
employment Of the members was con-
versation and festivity and SO splen-
did were the entertainments of music
and dancing, that the gay spirits of
other parts of Italy anxiously solicit
ed the honour Of seats in the society.
All their statutes regarded only. the
ceremonies Of the ball and theatre;
and the members being resolved in the
religious performance, took an oath in
the church to that tendency. They
had banners and seal like an unau-
thorised order Of knighthood. Their
dress was as splendid and elegant as
Venetian luxury and taste could FASH
ion il; and, consistently with the sim
gular custom Of the Italians of mark
ing academies and other intellectual
associations by external signs of folly,
the members, hen they met in lite
rary discussion, were distinguished by
the colours Of their stocking. The
colours were sometimes fantastically
blended and at other times one pre-
vailed. The Society de Ia Gala last
ed till the year 1890, when the foppe-
ry Of Italian literature took some 9th
er symbol. The rejected title then
crossed the Alps, and found congen-
ial soil in the 6ippancy and literary
trining of Parisian society, and partic-
ularly branded female pedantry as the
strongest feature in the character of
French pretension. 1t diverged from
France to England, and for while
marked the vanity of the small advance
in literature of our female coteries.
But the propriety Of its application is
now gradually ceasing for we see in
every circle that attainments in litera-
ture can be accomplished with no loss
of womanly modesty. 1t is in this
country, above all others, that knowl-
edge asserts her right Of general do
mpion, or contends if she be sustain
ing the energy Of one sex, she forms
the lighter charm, the graceful drape-
~ Of the other.

Think (isneying thou see st tl;eni) how
Burn d once the orbs so vacant now!

Think (fsncying thou see st tEen) how
Burn'd once the orbs so vacant now!
The frst-how, spiritually fred
With all the sacred Nine inspiredl
Diffusing in his earliest youth,
BY Avon's stream, the light Of truth;
And after, when experience taught,
The light of nature and Of thought
Full from his mind, o'er Hisiory's page
Pouring enchantment's mystic spell;
The gifted Bard of every age
Imagnation's oracle!
The second,-yet no second he
How bright the eye that could not see,
Der his expansive brow when shone
The etfulgent glories-stll his own!
Oh! who could track that spirit fight
To the empyreal heavens on high,
The worlds OF uncreated light,
Where he beheld the angelic iight'
Then with inspired soul and gifted eye,
Pierced downward, through chaotic night,
To the deep hell where the damn spirits
lie!
Saw the fierce council Of Satanic pride;
Heard tho arch ficnd disclose his subtle plan,
Whereby was wrought the primal Fail OF Man
The hrd'-wi'hin that hollow space
How g!ow'd the fire OF minstrel grace
And, ever and anon, how came
The thundcrbolt OF lyric fame!
To think those eyeless holes contan'd
The balls where wit and genius reign'd--
That mused DER Eaton's distant towers,
That wept o'er ruthless Edwards powers,
That contemplated, wrapt in shade,
The garden where the dead are laldl
The Jourth!- how Britain's Senate hung
On every accent Of his tongue!
How every eye to him was turn'd
While from his lips those accents burn'd!
Time was (our couniry's genius knows.
Through all disguise her friends and tocs) -
Time was, our couniry's genius lit
The ewes of her immortal Pitt,
The friend of freedOin! for ifhe
Had chained the wing of Liberty,
Nay, sullied but one heavenly plume,
I'd write my " shame" upon his tomb;
Shame were he not the champion Tuc
Ola free throne and freedom too
Alas! that he, who nc'er can die,
Should ever thus in bondage lle
Forget the land that gave nm birth,
Forget the interests of The earth,
Forget his own surprising fame -
Glory, that bcckon d him to stay,
Bat could NOT, with his magic name,
Immortalize his shroud of day

The Blue Stocking is from the pen Of the
author of the American Flag, and was irs'
nnhl;sbed in the Ncw-York Evening Post, in
the wear 1921. II is as full of wit as poetry,
and ridicules very happily that most odious and
offensive of all things, Blue Stocking. To
our mind, it is impossible for man to love
woman, who is so void of taste, as to incase
pretty ancle in blue hose!
A BLUE STOCKING.
Her Leghorn hat was of the bright gold tint
The setting sunbe1ms give TO autumn clouds;
The ribband that encircled It as blue
Asspots of sky upon moonlight night,
When stars arc keeping revelry in heaven;
A single rnglet of her clustering hair
Fell gracefully beneath her hat in curls
As dark as down upon the ravens wing,
The kerchief, partly o'er her shoulder flung,
And partly waving in the wind, was woven
or every colour the first rainbow wore,
When il came smiling in its hucs of beauty,
promise from on high to n lost world.
Her robe seemed Of the snow just fallen to
earth,
Pure from its home in the fair winter clouds,
As white, as stainless; and around her waist
(You might have spann'd it with your thumb
and hugcr)
A pirdle Of the hue of Indian pearls
Was twincd, resembling the faint line of water
That follows the swift bark o'or quiet seas
Her face saw not-but her shape her form
Was one ofthose with which creating bards
Peoplc n world ofthoir own fashonmg-
Forms for the heart TO love and cherish ever
The visiting angels Of our twilight dreams.
Her foot was lovelicst Of remembered things,
Small as a f,iry's on a moonlt leaf.
Listening the ,wind-harp's song and watching
by
Tho wild-thyme pillow Of her sleeping queen,
Whom proud Titania shuns her Obcron.
But twas that foot which broke the spell
alasl
Us sto cking had a deep, deep tinge Of blue
I turned away in sadness, and passedon

lection, and every alleviation which
wealth could furnish to his lot.-But
after he was removed TO the last place
Of his confinement, il was as il the
tomb had closed over him forever.
Let us shift the scene, and we see
woman touering in premature old age;
her limbs have nearly lost their pow
er; she can scarcely crawl the length
of her room, and she cannot lift the
one hand without the help ofthe other
TO raise it. Her eyes are distended,
forced from their sockets, and nearly
blind. Her voice is gone, and with il
her fondness of The art to " ich it gave
so much effect and beauty, Her mind
is equally altered. Her mildness is
changed into the bitterest sarcasm.
From one of the most benevolent of
human beings, she has come to take
delight only in the indulgence Of
severity of temper amounting almost
to rancour.
She is seated in her chambers.
The door opens, and a man enters.
He is old and decrepit. His hair is
snow-wtte. His form is bent nearly
