A beautiful mode Of ornsmenting mar.
BILE has recently been brought into use in
Paris. 1t consists in etching by ncids,
deeply into the marble, various designs,
upon properly prepared blluminous
ground. When the corrosion has gone
sufficiently deep, the cavities are filed up
with hard colored wax prepared so as to
tako a polish equal to that of the marble
when cleaned off. Drawings thus made
on black marble and filled IN with scarlet
wax, after the manner Of Etruscan, and
certain Egyptian designs, are said to have
a very noble effect, and arc applied to Ia
bles, paunelIing, stoves, &c. The inge.
Nous French artists also make use of thin
plates of marble for painting miniatures.
This substance takes colors freely. and
holds them better than ivory, which it ex-
GELS in cheapness and because it can be
obtained of any SIZE.

FAscINArroNs OF LIrE.-We have
come 10 the conclusion that there are still
things in the world worth living for, and
for the benefit Of all grumblers, we shall
here mention few of them.
1t is perfectly delightful, when doing
the nmiable and affecting the graceful in

his heavy heel upon your lenderest corn.

you can do is to "grin and bear it.

rately spells over the advertisements.
Nothing can exceed the qualification OF
having a wag next you at table loosen tho
top Of the pepper caster, SO that when your
plate is supplied and arranged in exact &C.
cotdance with the precise notions Of your
palate, needing nothing more than seven
teen grains Of pepper, you may dash The
whole contents Of the cruet on 10 your
dish.
There is pecliar satisfaction, during
long spell of heavy rain, in trying to re-
member who it was that borrowed your
umbrella tho week before.
A very fascinating delight lies in having
a drunken barber seam your cheeks and
chin with graceful scars and gashes, to be
rancifuIly closed up with court plaster.
More than ordinary pleasure is derived
from finding, after full and passionate
avowal of love to lady, that she has a
decided inclination to fry some other fish.
These are few of the little accidents
that are among the destinations OF life
