| Diamonds Diamonds what strange
passion what curious disease; what q
topic for speculative curiosity, is the thirst
which some women feel for these precious
articles And as if it were not enough TO
spend thousands of hounds on what paste
and glass may be made to initiate, they must
needs have better than their neghbors, and
in the desire to outshine, for every thing else.
Many handsome woman enters a room,
far prouder of the stones in her hair and on
her bosom than all the real advantages that
Nature has given her; and many an ugly
woman has ruined her husband, and starved
her trades-people, that she might have lar
ger drop to her necklace, than Lady Ballynu
Why2 Is the handsome woman happier or
even more admired is the ugly woman less
ugly with her diamonds than without them
OF all the different madnesses and false
tastes created by idIeness and luxury, surely
this is the most unaccountablel A certain
lady of fashion was for years in the habit of
collecting emeralds, pearls and other pre-
cious stones, one by one: and after she had a
sufficient number for a necklace she would
request her husband to "set them" Ex-
,ravagance in proportion with this branch
of expenditure, gradually consumed what
had originally been splendid fortune; the
lady sighed over the increasing embarrass
ment of their circumstances, but continued
her collection of jewels AT length the day
arrived when they were pronounced ruined,
who had long been so in reality. The lady
behaved beautifully on the occasion; agreed
to every species of retrenchment but refused
to give up her jewels, which would have
covered almost one half of their debts |
Tempted some time afterwards by Jewell |
lerS advertisement, she went out succeeded |
in bargaining for the most pure and perfect
ameralds, and on her return, found that her
husband, who had been long in low spirits
had shot himself through the head. The
Jury brought 10 a verdict Of innacy-and all
his friends went about regrettng that they
had not foreseen and prevented his melan-
,holy end but no one saw madness in the
ad Us conduct; and she afterwards made
itch banker (her second husband) set that
very emerald as drop to the most superb
necklace ever worn at Court by, and one

Blood Hounds are raised in the Island of
Cuba for the express purpose of ferreting
out runaway negroes. They are ferocous
beasts, and will pursue a black man, after
having been put upon the scent, over the
loftiest mountains and through almost i'm
passaole forests and morasses. They are
terror to the negroes, who are ever sure
of being overtaken and horribly mutilated,
if not killed, when pursued by them. A
friend from the West Indies informs us that
the natural ferocty of these dogs is increas-
ed, by the compulsory acts of cruelty inflic-
ted by the negro himself. Each plantation
is provided with number of them, who are
set at liberty in the night, but kept chained
during The day. The negroes are obliged
by the overseers to fog the dogs, and in-
fllct barbarities upon them, SO that they
seize upon every thing that has black
skin, with the most frightfu ferocity. They
will bring down a negro and tear the flesh
from his limbs, however well armed he may
be, in a very few minutes.
