LOOKING GLASSES For BIRDs.-A cores

LOOKING GLASSES For BlRDs.-A cores
pendent OF the Gardeners Chronicle says:
"lhe following plan is perfectly efficacious
for soaring birds from fruit and other produce.
One OF my servants having by chance broken
looklng-g glass, 1t occurred to me that the broken
plces suspended bya string, SO as to turn freely
in every direction, would give the appear
ance of something moving about, which
would alarm the birds. I accordingly tried
the plan, and found that no bird, not even the
most fool-hardy of them, dare come near. They
mad attacked my peas; on suspending few bits
of the looking glass amongst them the marauders
left the place. The tomtits attacked my SICKLE
pears, to which they seem very partial. A bit of
looking glass suspended in front of the tree put
stop to the mischief My grapes were then
much damaged, before they were ripe, by thrush
es and starlngs; piece of looking glass drove
these away and not grape touched aftel-
wards. l had before tried many plans, but never
found any SO etfectual as the above''

FROM HAVANA.

by the arrival yesterday of the brig P. Soule,
from Havana, we have received our files of pa

| Official to the 24th ult.
otrakos sl and Parodi were in Havana giving con-
| cefrs. Inc papers speak very highly of them.
Two remarkable instances of longevity are no.
ticed by the Diario. On the 18th ut. Jose Fran.
cisco Roriguez, negro, died in Havana, aged
ll2 years, and few days afterwards griAf named
Isabel Charita, aged 1Os years.
letter from Yaguay states that most terrific
hallstorm occurred in that part of the country on
the 9th ut. The crops of all kinds, which be-
tore We're extremely f1ourishing, were entirely
destroyed, and the helds presented the appear
ance, to use the words of the writer like that of
the Sierlas de Moncays in Aragon, in the month
OF January" One of the stones was found to
weigh SIX ounces, three drachms and five grains
Many others weighed three four and five
ounces, and the generality were an ounce in
weight.
Under the head of ssN1rs. Bloomer in Madrid"
Dsarao quotes from a Madrid paper, which SAYS:
1.-The Pantaletts of the .Senoras which till now
have been used for neither protection, have been
introduced into the ball room They are made
IN the shape OF elegant paptaloons a la Iurca,
fastened at the ankle with delicate clasps of silver
Ihls fashion is intended to protect the person
against the indiscretion of the waltz and polka
They do not lack grace. Ia harmony with these
pantaloons la iSultana this Asiatic name has
been gwen to them are the bootees, or buskins of
white satin. laced with two cords down to the ex
tremity of the foot. As masculine tendencies are
increased and propagated, the waistceat has come
into more generaluse, that it is now of more in
dlspensabe necessity. The young girls have ac-
customed themselves to it with such facility that
should the fashions change they would be inconso-
liable for its loss. The waistcoat is worn discre-
hon either made high up, half buttoned, entirely
buttoned, or entirely unbuttoned The open waist
coat IS over chemisehe almost exactly similar to
mans shirt, except that it forms two small points
at the throat
"When," asks the Diario, 'sshal we be able to
head a local item with the words "Mrs. Bloomer
in Havana!"-N O. Pic.

CH,RAcrER.--We may judge Of mans
character by what he loves--what pleases him.
If person manifeSts delight in low and sordid
obiects--the vulgarsong and debasing language
in the misfortunes ofhis fellows, or cruelty
to animals, we may at once determine the com.
pexion of his>character. On the contrary, if
he loves purity, modesty, truth--ifvirtnous pur-
suits engage his heart and draw out his affec-
tions-we are satisfied that he is an upright
man. A man debased shrinks from association
with the good and wise.

DnAvrv.-There is surprising c!iarni Ii
the perfection Of female beauty. But it is on
ly when the mind and the heart shine through
the dark lustre of the eye, or leave legible
and beautiful language upon the cheek-or
lend deeper music to the rich.. Invoice, that the
outward i'm press of beauty can be deeply and
lastingly felt. Uuilluminated by the spirit, the
most perfect form is but cold and desolatc
temple. Like an iceberg gittering in the light
of sunset, with the rain bow hues of beauty, it
may dazzle for :! moment, but none may dream
Of communion with its frozen sterlity.

degree instrumental in eAecting these pur-
poses.
You are now entering into that stage Of life
