vacuum by an air-pump, Accordingly, he
had compress made OF gold, which, when
he could get suitable subject, he resolved
to fix on the head by band, and secure by
atourniquet. This apparatus was intended
by him to remain on the head day and night;
and, by giving the tourniquet slight turn
each morning, when the Uranium is most
compliant, he trusted that in short time
he could compress any organ to what he
conceived TO be its desiderated moral size.
The use ofa portable air-pump would Gre
ate vacuum in vessel of strong flint
glass, which, if placed over any bump not
adequately developed, would, he was conf
dent, cause its gradual enlargement from the
skull. The person operated upon would
have only to wear the compress and tourni-
qttet day and night for twelve months, and
remain at and for the same period under
the air pump, to effect all that the Profess
sor's mighty wisdom anticipated. Unfor-
tunately, as yet he had not met with any
one willing to make the experiment!
Had the art of drawing portraits with
my pen, should certainly attempt that of
Caroline Won Pichler, as pretty German
maiden as ever, when a lover spoke parti-
cularly, blushed the "Yes," which her lips
would not utter at once. When / mention
German beauty, you think, | dare say, of
the importations who annoy our sight with
bronzed faces, mob-caps, thick legs, and
churn- waists, and who makes music for our
ears with "Buy broom" discords. No;
such is not German beauty. Walk down
the Kohlmarkt, (the Regent Street of Wien
ha,) and you will see thousand brlliancies
of female beauty. Now you are justled in
that thronged thorough-fare and the finest
form in the world fits by you and the
most speaking eyes flash their bright apol-
ogies for the accident. A moment--ere
you have time to regret the sweet vision
you meet another, and another and anoth-
er. They are frequent as the flowers in
June, or the stars in midnight. They are
varied, too, in their brightness and their
clIme The radiant freshness of the Eng
lish features; the beaming intellect of the
Italian face; the sweet pathos which forms
the expression Of Polish beauty; the Asiat-
ic cast of the Hungarian aspect; the classic
contour of the Grecian outine--all are there
but among them none is fairer than the ear
nest loveliness of the German. After such
preface, how can describe Caroline Won
PichleI!
Fancy lovely, loving, and loveable
maiden, of bright nineteen, and you may
have thought of Caroline. Then, like
Cardela's,
her voice was over soft,
Gentle, and low: an excellent thing in woman.
In fine, both in person and mind, she
was delightful specimen of womanhood
in its earliest prime--well educated, too,
though of this she was not prouG-good
tempered, in spite of the vinegar DISPOSE
ton of Madame Annette Won Pichler, a
crossgraiped old maid, her aunt and guar
dian. When Madame scolded, which, to
do her justice, was only five minutes out
Of every ten, Caroline flew to painting, or
to music. Or, if these did not please her,
she flew to prepare her lessons for her pri-
vate tutor, Ernst Mannheim.
Ernst was young, not yet live-and-twen-
ty. He was handsome-Caroline, some
how or other, always identifying him with
the Apollo Belyedere! Poor girl! she was
not the first by thousands who had raised a
mortal into an idol, making her own heart
the shrine!
For twelve months Ernst Mannheim had
been visiting tutor to Caroline Won Pichler.
Much did he teach her, in language and
sciehces, and he also taught her ioUe, which
is the life of life.
A great crime, Ernst had been absent
six whole days, and had only sent for
NAL apology to Madame, that he was COM
PEELED by business to quit Vienna for a
week. Poor Caroline! she, appropriately
