ADJUSTING THE MouTH.-Thc London Ga.
zette contains some important information for
the ladies, with regard to the manner of placing
their lips when they desire to look amiable, dig
nifed, &c. 1t says that when a lady would com
pose her mouth 20 bland and serene character,
she should just before entering the room, say
Bosom, and keep the expression into which the
mouth subsidies, until the desired effect upon the
company is evident II, on the other hand, she
wishes to assume distinguished and somewhat
noble bearing, not suggestive of sweetness, she
should say Brush, the result Of which is nfalli-
BILE. If she would make her mouth small and
pretty, she must say Flip; but if the mouth be
already small, and needs enlarging, she must
say Cabbage. Ladies, when having their dagu-
erreotypes taken, may observe these rules with
some advantage.

ILL.TIMED LEvITY PUNIsHEp.-On Thurs
day morning last, a couple presented themselves
in front of the communion rails in our cathedral,
for the purpose of being joined together in holy
wedlock. But while the officiating clergyman
was proceeding with the ceremony in the usual
course, his attention was arrested by a most I'M
becoming show of levity on the part of the bride
groom and this continuing, the clergyman clos
ed his book, and lectured the man severely on
the improperly of his behavior. The BRIDE who
seemed much shocked at the thoughtess con-
duct Of the man to whom she was being united
for life, at length interrupted the clergyman to
ask if it was absolutely necessary that the cere-
mony, after having gone so far, should proceed
to completion The clergyman replied, " Ger
tainly not, unless you desire it" The lady, on
learning that option still remained to her thought
better Of the matter, and absolutely refused to
proceed any farther with the ceremony. She
quilted the building with her friends leaving the
disappointed groom no longer laughing, but look
ing very disconsolate at this unexpected result
Of levity, as i-timed as it was ILL placed
