PAVING THEM UP.

Opposition to the New Constitution was
made the test of political orthodoxy in the
whic balloon convention Of the 4lh. NO
man who was suspected Of being in the
slightest degree favorable TO its adoption
received any favor at its hands. The
bankers and corporation mongers have too
much control in the affairs Of that party to
allow any man 10 escape who ialters IN
the support of their interests. In the dls-
tribu,ion ol whig official tavors, the whole
Western Reserve, which went for the con-
stitution, is unccremoniously tlrurst aside
with only two secondary Offices, Supreme
Judge and Secretary Of State, while the
single county of Muskingum, that gave
large majority against it, gets two Offices;
Supreme Judge. and Member of the Board
of Public Works. The Hitchcocks, Ben
nets, Collins. and Pecks, Of whiggery are
cast out, their counties disregarded, while

against the constitution gets the Governor

TO THE WIFE.-If your husband has
built for himself household hearth, do not
let it be trodden into ruins by every idol
whom he has placed there. Wlen ou
suffer your own hands to tear down the
fair adornment Of idolairy with which his
passion has decked you, and appear be-
fore him not as an angelic ideal, but sell
fish, sullen or vain woman, little you know
that it may take years Of devotion to efface
the deep bitterness produced by that one
hout-the first, perchance, when he has
seen you as sou are.

FEMALE BEAUTY.

The ladies Of Arabia stain their fingers
and toes red, their eyebrows black, and
their lips blue. /, In Persia they paint
black streak round the eyes, and orna.
n,ent their faces with various figures. The
i, Japanese woman gid their teeth, and those
of the Indies paint them red. The pearl
of the teeth must be dyed black to be
beautiful in Guzerat. The Hottentot wo-
men paint the entire body in compartments
ofred and black. In Greenland the wo-
men color their faces with blue and yellow,
and they frequently tattoo their bodies by
saturating threads in SCOT, in setting them
beneath the skin, and then drawing them
through. Hindoo females. when they wish
tosappear particularly lovely, smear them
selves with mixture Of saffron, tumeric,
and grease. In nearly all the islands OF
the Pacific and Indian oceans the women,
swell as the men, tattoo a great variety
of figures on the lips, the tongue. and the
whole body. In New Holland they cut
themselves with shells, and, by keeping
open the wounds long time, form deep
sears in the flesh, which they deem highly
ornamental. And another singular addi-
ton is made to their beauty by taking off
in infancy the little finger of the left hand
at iiie second joint. In ancient Persia an
aquiline nose was often thought worthy OF
the crown; but the Sumatran mother care
fully Gailens the nose of her daughter
Among some Of the savage tribes in Ore
gon, and also in Sumatra and Arracan,
continual pressure is applied to the skull
in order to Hatten it, and thus give 1t new
beauty. The modern Persians have
strong aversion to red hair; the Turks, on
the contrary, are warm admirers oft. In
China. small round eyes arc liked; and
the girls are continually plucking theil
eyebrows that they may be thin and long
But the great beauty Of a Chinese lady Il
in her feet, which, in childhood, are 81
compressed by bandages as effectually tf
prevent any further increase in size. INT
four smaller toes are turned under the foot
to the sole of which they firmly adhere
and the poor girl not only endures mucl
pain, but becomes cripple for lie. An
other mark of beauty consists in finge
nails SO long that castings of bamboo ar
necessary to preserve them from injury
An African beauty must have small eyes
thick lips. large, fiat nose, and ski
beautifully black. In New Guinea tn
nose is perforated, and large piece
wood or bone inserted. On the northwe
coast of American incision more tina
two inches in length is made in the lowe
lip, and filed with wooden plug. J
Guinea the lip is pierced with thorns, II
heads being inside the mouth, and IL
points resting on the chin. The Tunlsls
woman, with moderate pretensions
beauty, needs slave under each arm
support her when she walks, ,-and perte
belle carries flesh enough to load down
camel.

IDr. Rogers
COMPOUND SYRUP OF
Tivcrwort and Tar.

THE HISTORY OF THIS MEDICINE
is briefly told 1t is prepared mostly from Re-
cipe furnished by the late distinguished Professor
Rogers, after many years OF investigation ana
research and is the one employed by nm ID ms
own practice, and that occasioned his unparailel-
led success in curing all complaints OF the Throat
and Lungs. For four years past, the proprletors
have been putting up Dr.. Rogers Compound
Surup Of Liuerac0rt and Tar, in Cincinnati,
Ohio. From this point, it has been distributed
extensively over all the estern and south west.
ern states Hence the reason why so many ct
our Certificates are dated at Cincinnati, where
the medicine is best kno,cn, and has been most
fully tested. The first year, its sales amounted
only to about 1900 bottles; but such was Its as"
tonishing success in curing the complaints Tor
which il is recommended, that it soon acquired
an immense popularity, and the present year its
sales will exceed $50 900 bottles.
Nor is the demand for it confined to the west
ern states Its reputation is spreading over the
whole Union. Although il has never been adver'
tised at all, or even offered for sale in New Eng
land, the proprietors have this day received an
order from Bangor, Me. A few days since, they
received one from Lowell, Mass also one from
PALMYRA, N. Y, and another from Columbus,
Geo. And it is because the demand for this med
icne from abroad is so great that the proprletors
cannot supply il from Cincinnati, that they have

to drive all from the road who will not stand up

THE WEEKLY DISPATCH,

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
AT The ioc price OF ONE DOLLAR per annttu,,
> the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry
HUGH X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t Is designed to make 1t equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Vrglnians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice they Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to bs
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life wher
men rarely change their views. They, at least
know it to be impossible.
NJThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that ths subscription be paid al
ioGys in adoance.
