a wig maker Of coutsse was sent for.

THE BRIDE AND THE MARRIAGE.

The London correspondent Of the los
ton Post, who has seen Mademoisellc Mon.
t.go, gives what that paper says is a true dcs.
c'iption of her personal appearance, as fol-
lows, in which he represents her in much
more favorable light than some other ac
counts have done:
To those who remember the Duchess Of
Tcba, as she appeared during her visits to
the great exhibition of 1851, it will not he
incomprehcnsiblr how the Emperor of France
has consented that she should share his
throne. She is certain one Of the most
beautiful women of her time Below the
medium height of ladies in the United States,
she possesses, nevertheless, that perfect SYM
mctry of person which makes her appear
taller than size really is. Her feet aud ankles
are of perfect mould her carriage is grace
fnl her head finely set upon her shoulders,
and her face Intellectual and emincutly beau
ilul. She has the black hair, pcncilIied
bruws, and lnstrous dark eye Of the Spanish
women, with the clear, brilliant complexion
of Il northern latitude; and her neck and
breast would furnish model for the sculp-
to-. Her mind is said to be highly cutiva-
ted, and her powers Of conversation fitted to
second her personal attractions. That she
has great scl!.rcspcct is evidenced by her
whole course since the inclinations of Louis
Napoleon were apparent to her. She has
never been seen in public in lis company;
has, apparently, discouraged his attentions:
was not at the ball at the TuiIleries on Sat-
urday night, which was supposed to be given
in her honor, and declines now appearing in
society until after the solemnization of the
marriage. The civil part of the ceremony
will take place on Saturday Of this week at
the ruleries, and the religious ceremonies
the next day at Notre Dame. The Prepara.
tions for the latter are to be magnificent.
The high altar is to he brought forward
the portion of the church round it to be
brilliantly ornamented and lighted;a snpcrb
canopy 10 be suspended over it; the galleries
to be hung with crimson velvet, and seats
for public iunclionaries, in form of an am
phithcatre, to be erected all over the vast
nave of the cathedral.

mast necessarily be preceded bv Il wild and
vicious career A rood writer well remarks,
that there is many a young man Just enter
ing the world, who would avoil those ac-
tons which give rise to the saying, if 1T were
not for the veil which this very saving throws
over their l.idrousness. But as he hears the
lips of beauty apulngctically muttering I" he
is only sowing his wild oats" when some
instance of vile pruhigacy is told, or some
tale of innocence undermined, related, he
begins to look upon such actions rs the ma
tural and excusahle effects of ardent youth;
he lhinks that he, too, may be pardoned Tor
scattering similar seeds on the highway of
liIc; ard is, perhaps, unconscious that the
soil in which they will take the lirmes: and
deepest root is his own mind. " Memo re-
pcatc fruit tmpiSs'mus no man becomes
vicious on Il sudden. The appetite for vice
increases with what it feeds on like the
taste for olives, it may be nauscous at first,
but BY repetition we come 10 like it, and at
length it becomes fixed desire of the mind {;
we have sown the seeds and, unfortunately,
we must reap the fruits. We need not sow
these wild oats, but once having 50 done, we
must fake the consequences.
