Hindoo Women.

The HindOo women, when young, are del
icate and beautiful, SO far as we can reconcile
beauty with the olive complexion. They are
finely porportioned their limbs small, their
features soft and regular, and their eyes black
and languishing but the bloom Of beauty
soon decays and age makes rapid progress be-
fore they have seen thirty years. This may be
accounted for from the heat Of the climate, and
the customs Of the country, as they are often
mothers at twelve years of age.
No woman can be more attentive to ceanli-
ness than The Hindoos; they take every meth
cd TO render their person delicate. soft, and at
traciivc; their dress is peculiarly becoming
consisting of long piece of silk or cotton tied
round the waist, and hanging in a graceful
manner to the feet it is afterwards brought
over the body in negligent folds under this
they cover the bosom with short waistcoat of
satin, but wear no linen. Their long black
hair is adorned with jewels and wreaths of
flowers; their ears are bordered in many places,
and loaded with pearls; variety Of gold,
chains, strings of pearls and precious stones,
fall from the neck over the bosom; and the
arms are covered with bracelets from the wrist
to the elbow. They have also gold and sill
yer chains round the ankles, and abundance Of
rings on their fingers and toes, among those
on the fingers is frequently small mirror. !
think the richer the dress the less becoming il
appears, and a Hindoo woman Of distinction al
ways seems TO be overloaded with fnery !;
while the village nymphs, with fewer ornaments,
but in the same elegant drapery, are more cap
tivating although there are very few women,
even of the lowest families, who have not some
jewels at their marriage.
In these external decorations consist the pride
and pleasure Of these unnstruced females for
very few, even in the best families, know how

enjoyment. We learn from Homer that the
women in ancient Greece always kept in re-
tired part Of the house, employed in embroidery
or other femenine occupations and at this day
the Indian females are never seen by those
who visit the master Of the family. They

Currant Wine.

Here is a recipe for making currant wine,
worth TO any of our subscribers who have a
bushel of curranis, at least two years subscrp-
ton to the Journal. We had an opportunity
Of tasting wine made afterit, which was Of
snct excellent quality, that we could not re-
sist the temptation of publishing the recipe.
Here it is Try it and report The results :
To one quart Of ripe cnrrant juice add three
pounds of the very best white sugar, (the inner
the quality The better) and to this add as much
water as will, with the juice and sugar make
a gallon. Put the mixture into key OF demi-
John, leaving il open for two weeks, or until
the fermentation subsidies; then cork it up
tightly, and let il remain quiet for five months,
when it will be fit for use, and may be racked
off into botlles.-Pa. Farm Jour.
A gentleman who has had much experience
in making currant, raspberry, and grape wines,
says the above recipe is good one, but that
clear wine cannot be made in demllohn. II
should be put in keg or cask which it will
Just fill, SO that as it ferments the scum will
run off. When the fermentation ceases, cork
il tightly and let it stand five or six months,
and then draw it off for bottling by tapping
near the bottom, being careful not TO disturb
the sediment. Eds. Rural.

TheBible.

Go fling the gaudy robe aside,
Unbind the jewels of her hair,
And casting thoughts of earth away,
Oh maiden, bend thy heart in prayer;
And turn thee to the page of truth,
Then seek the guiding love of heaven,
Counsels that well may guard thy youth,
And teach the love to mortals given.
Let men with impious spirit dare
The sacred word of God to scorn,
And scott at hopes and comforts there,
From all its blessed precepts turn;
But Ger should woman, weak and frail,
Dare cast. her guiding chart aside;
When earthly hopes so often fail,
Where shall she turn on earth beside
Oh! when the heart is sad and lone,
And YEARLY the spirit droops,
And blessings perish one by one,
And pass away our youthful hopes;
Where should the loving spirit turn,
But to that page of sacred truth,
Where wisdom may true knowledge learn,
And age know brighter hopes than you'll

though the box was quite open and kept in

apply cold water freely to persons who have
been struck by lightning. He says;
In allcases where persons are struck down
by lightning, use cold water upon the body
for hours; don't be discouraged if immediate
success is not attained, but continue to perse-
we're; and if, after three or four hours drench-
ing, animation is not restored, add salt to the
water, and continue drenching. have an ac-
count of a person struck down by lightning on
Staten Island, several years ago, who was
restored after several hours drenching with
cold water. This case alone is sufficient to
prompt exertion in all cases beyond the time
usually devoted to restoration of animation in
cases where persons have been struck down
