There is one fact in regard to the depravity

glory-I was not the only man who had
headache on waking up on yesterday NOR
ming. Nine tenths OF all the irish III New,
York-rnen and women-have been blessed
with the like headaches-with this difference,
Ivhiskev caused it in them--but Rhenish pro-

LADIES HATS.
The latest report of the London Fashions,
by writer for the N. Y. Star, says Eve
ming hats of rice straw are in vogue. The
corners are perpendicular, but not high
brims round and large; trimmed inside next
the face, and just over the forehead, with
small wreath of wild flowers, ending in a
tuft of the same, mingled with rose buds on
each side. A drapery of blond lace descen-
ding on each side, forms floating bridles.-
One willow feather ON one side completes the
trimming. Such hat, with pair of rosy
cheeks under it, we should think, would e.
quail any thing that ever came from the pro-
verbally tasty shops of Mrs. Winchell, or
the Misses McClintock.
The ladies must be made to look pretty, in
spite of the negligence of Madame nature, to
whom they are sometimes very little indebt-
ed-the froward jade! and the grumblers at
female extravaganza to boot. There IS no
use in crying about the cost of finery for your
wives and daughters; they were made to be
arrayed in ribbons and silks; and the cost of
a piece of lace is not to be put into the scale
against the Joy and gladness it diffuses, as it
futters on the dress of the little gipsey who
wears it. ...-..
A neat hat is the upshot of lady's dress ;;

article besides. Letnone aspire to the occu-
patton of a milliner who lack the bump which
denotes the faculties Of invention, taste and
neatness, in the most prominent degree. The
French millinerse are said often to possess it
as large as a potatoe and even with them it
sometimes evertops the organ Of amativeness.
