Miss MlssoUm-we are pleased to learn that this
young lady has voluntarily left the protection of her
mother and of her own free will and accord appeared
before the proper authorities and chosen legal guar
dian. On Monday last she selected John M. Blood
good, Esq, the pslice magistrate as her guardian,
and we give as opinion that she could not have
made better choice. Mr.. Bleodgood is rich, and
L. - H. n haod
one of these odd days and leave her all his propery
and he could not leave it, we believe to much more
deserving or accomplished young lady. Miss Mis-
souri, was educated at Mrs. Wizards Seminary, at
Troy. and really is one Of the most interesting ac-
complished, and lady-like girls which our city can
beast of She has just attained her sixteenth year;
she has selected the stage for her profession and
the press only does her common justice which it
must de, she will in two or three years distance
ry competitor for histnonic excellence. She needs
no putting, she asks fulsome alteration from any
one; the force of her merit bears her way. She
is at the present age very very far superior to
her sister, Miss Clifton, about whom much has
been said in the various states of the Union. Miss
Louisa Missouri is of mddling stature, beautifully
formed Though raher petite igure-rich dark hair
richly colored and very brilliant hazel eyes, exqu
sltey chiselled mouth that might serve as a model |
for the bow of Apollo, long dark siIkea eye-lashes,
and handsomely formed Roman nose, this last be-
ing always indicative Of much talent in a lady. She
is, as we have before observed, very highly accom-
pished; she is fully capable of acting as governess
in the family Of the NEST fastdioss and aris,ocratc
member Of our monied oligarchy she draws and
paints like experienced artist; sings with as much
tasre and feeling as Tom Moore, and has very sweet
voice. and is moreover accomplished and scientific |
musician and lnguist. We think it altogether very
great pity that this young lady, SO emnenty quail
fed to excel in all the beautiful relations Of domestic
life should desecrate her extraordinary talents by re-
manning on the stage. However de gusfibus! In
public and in private life she has sincere unbias
sed, and heartfelt wishes that her happiness may
yer meet with the least alloy from proessed friends
or open enemies. FL ,,@
