boots and empty naddlcs; broad- brimmed.

flowing tasse, are generally worn by pale

the presumption that they make them look

their physiognomies. A clean, well-worn

the "man in the claret-colored coat" will

cornered hat of Napoleon is even now high

gorgeous, Hospital des IuUdlidcs. The
Polish cap and plume of the "bravest man

in the keeping of his family in Naples; and
the iron heinz of the great Warwick

Thus when men decay, hats exist; wheu

exceedingly annoyed by wolves, which
DESTROYED his sheep. In course of time a
dog-fancier offered to sell him dog. A

his merits was very long one-there was
not doggy virtue in the whole catalogue
for which he was not distingushed-but il
there was any one thing in which he parti-

wolf hunter. This was touching our friend
on the right spot. The bargain was closed
and he only waited for an opportunity TO
test his merits, At length there came a

hunting, and he took his dog and gun, and
sailed out. He crossed the track of var

A HARD HIT.-The Washington Journal,
a paper which many. think. has good pros
pect of obtaining portion, at least, of the
Congressional printing, is not disposed to
conceal the opinions it entertains of the
twistings and turnings Of its metropolitan
contemporary and rival--the Union. Not
