Despair the Fashion.

The latest style amoug tie Partisan
Bel'es.-Amedee Achard, the piquant cor
respondent of the Courier des Etats- Unis,
preiaces one Of his recent letters with the
announcement that it is 'all the rage" for
ladies In Paris, just now, to wear the man
ner and air Of the proioundest melancholy.
Like all fashions, Of course, it is best suit
ed to certain physiognomies, and Jiondes
are found TO be delicious with no hope left
utterly disconsolate. A great writcrh has
said, Despair is but one step before con-
ISOLATION" !" however, so the gentlemen pro-
vide, as before, for such matters u. the la
dies enjoy.
That a particular expression of face
should be the fashion, is one of the novel
ties Of these electric times, but SO it is
Willis, in the Home Journal, says that il is
odd how few Of the fashionable women
do it well, however. A profound coquette
is the only one who can succeed at it.
The muscles of the face get fatigued, and
the turned down corners Of the mouth be-
come stiff, with several hours Of unnitiga-
ted detection. The charm Of it is the re-
lief Of laying it off with bracelets and ear
rings: and husbands profit by the fashion
the change which repose requires, on
getting home, being from moping to smiles,
not from smiles to moping.-P Picayune

POETRY.
The Sleeping Child.
BT LEIGH HrST.

A brook went dancing on its way,
From bank to valley leaPing;
And by its sunny margin lay
A lovely infant sleeping.
Ike murmur Of the parting stream
Broke not the spell which bound him,
Like music breathing in his dream
A lullaby around him.
1t is a lovely sight to view,
Within this world Of sorrow,
One spot which still retains the hue
That earth from heaven may borrow;
And such was ihis--a scene so fair,
Arrayed in summer brightness,
And one poor being resting there
One soul Of radiant whitenoss.
What hapFy Dreams fair child are given
To cast thy sunshine DER thee
What cord mites ihat soul to heaven,
Where visions glide before thee
For wandering smiles OF cloudless s.rih
O'er thy glad features bcam;ng,
Say, not a thoueht--a form of earth
Alloys thine hour Of dreaming
Aiayhap. afsr on unseen wings,
Thy sinless spirit soaring,
Now hears the burst from golden springs,
Where angels adoring.
And with the pure heliacal tlrong,
Around thy Maker praising.
The joyous heart may join the song
Ten thousand tongues are raising
Sleep, lovely babe.-fnr times cold touch
Shall make these visions wither;
Youth. and the dreams which charm so much,
SAall fade and fly together.
Then, ,ieep-while sleep is pure and mild,
Ere earthly ties grow stronger,
When thou shalt be no more a child,
And drenm Of IIcayen no lnngcr.

The Sons Of Temperance recently had Z
public mcctingin Wilkesboro'. n Carolins.
at whcih several excellent speeches were
delivered. 1t was Court week. and Ham,
ilton G. Jones, Esq, distinguished lawyer
Of that State, well known to many Of our
readers, as the author OF "Capt. Rice. Le

advanced stage Of the exercises, and was
maniiesily endeavoring to maintain an H.
cog. A man from Aslc county had gone
IN with the crowd in high state ofincbria-
ton, who. at length overcome by the po-
tent god he worshipped, fell PROSTATE on
| the floor. The author of "Cousin Sally
Dillard" was discovered, Notwithstanding
his endeavors to prevent it. and so loud and
repeated We're the calls for him. that ho

envcloped in cloak, with his hat in hand.
Mr.. Jones spoke as follows.
"Gentlemen and ladies Tam greatly

spectacle au audience as this, without con
sidering what lie might say. have made

more ioreible speech upon the subject Of
temperance, than could hope to make.

The effect, we may well conceive. was
irresistible even the .ftilow sufferers.
some Of whom were aspiring towards tho

laugh, and the "gcntleman from Ashe" is
not likely soon TO hear the last Of the Joke.
