A Dashing Young Widow.

OF all things in creation, there is moth
ing so captivating as blooming young wild
ow, nothing so loving, nothing so loveable.
The following from the Lawrencebufg Rre-
i,ter Is case in point. While in Arkan-
sas, December last, We saw and conversed
with a young and beautiful widow; only
27 wears old, who had followed to the grave
the bodies of her four husbands. II was al
a country party, in that wild region we first
saw her. We liked her appearance and
obtained an introduction. She was all life
and animation. The pleasure of the dance
was her delight, and she appeared the gay.
est of the gay" We spent half an houI
in conversation with this Arkansas belle.
We talked of the country, wild game, diff
ferent kinds of life, single and matrimonial,
&c., about which she spoke well and very
correctly. In low tone of voice, (for we
felt interested in this dazzling Beauty We
inquired, MADAM, how long has your last
husband been dead :" "Ten days, yester.
day," replied the afflicted widow. Good
heavens p thought We, "a husband dead
only ten days" and his widow one of the
gayest dancers at ball. We were so much
astonished that we left her without ceremo-
ny. On inquiry, next morning, we found
out what she had told US was true. Her
husband No. 4, for several years, had rep
resented his county in the Legislature, and
was highly esteemed, not as talented leg.

Female Beauty.

Power, the ceerated sculptor, in letter
to friend, says, with satIrical humor, OF
his favorite work, "Eve is an old-fashion-
ed body, and not so we'll formed and at
tractive as are her granddaughter, at
least some of them. She wears her hair in
a natural and most primitive manner, drawn
back from the temples, and hanging loose
behind, thus exposing those very ugly fea-
lures in woman. Her waist is quite too
large for our modern notions of beauty, and
her feet, they are SO very broad and large
And did ever one see such long toes they
have never been wedged into form by the
nice and pretty little shoes worn by her
lovely descendants. But Eve is very stiff
and unyielding IN her disposition; she will
not allow her waist to be reduced by BAN
daging because she is far more comfortable
as she is, and, es,she has some regard
for her health, which might suffer from such
restraints upon her lungs, heart. liver, &c.,
SC. could never prevail upon her to wear
modern shoes, for she breads corns, which
she says are neither convenient nor orna'
mental. But some allowance ought to be
made for these crude notions of hers, found.
ed as they are in the prejudIces and absur.
dities of primitive days. Taking all these
things into consideration think it best she
should not be exhibited,as il might subject
me to censure and severe criticism, and
these, too, without pecuniary reward"
