the Frunch. and was in the lasiiness Of
his youth. though not inexperienced in
the ways OF the world, be visited, As
We all know, the United States While
IN Baltimore. before he had concrn.
traiei his affections in mairimony, he
wandered from flower 10 flower in that
garden Of beauty. The prince was a
favored visitor every where. on one
occasion, being invited a. guest TO a
ball, a young belle, yet in her ieens,-
called for him. and invited him to seat
by her side, in the paiernal carriage, in
which she lounged unattended The
prince joyfally accepted the invitation,
and had hardly seated himself by the
side Of beauty and innocence, when he
showed by his arden, admiration Of the
charms Of the former, how incapable he
was OF oppreeialing the simplicity Of the
latter The young girl expressed her
Indignation, drove home and invoked
tho aid Of brother in the emergency.
The prince was called to M account.
and was ready with an apology. In
France, he said, he would have lost his
claim to gallantry II he had acted other
wise but, upon his faith as French
man. the prince continued, he would
not have treated the young beauty as
he had done, had he not supposed that
was what she expected. and the express
object of her visit. He acknowledged,
with a shrug of the shoulder, that he'was
bete. and ought to have known that
old Europe was one thing, and young
America quite another. Such was the
simplicity Of our American grandma
theirs. Their beautiful descendants
have lost nothing, we are sure, of their
ancestral virtue, hut have become much
more knowing. II they should take up
a prince and Frenchman, they would
know what to expect.
THE FAST YOUNG LADY.
The fast young lady is one Of the de-
velopements of female beauty. Young
and handsome she is, Of course, and
brimful of vitality. Daring and dash
ing. she does thousand extravagani
things but youth and beauty lend such
n grace to all she does, that we are at
tracted more than is quite right for our
propriety to acknowledge. From the
very frat she is veled by no maiden
bushes, and checked by no coy shyness
but boldly faces the world and rushes
into its embrace. She becomes known
every where she is at every ball Of the
she is as familiar to the frequenicrs o
Broadway as the Astor House. Her
reckless doings are on every tongue
how she was at six parties in one night
how she kissed young Dalliance in the
ballroom, out-drank him in champagne
at the supper table, and smoked one o
his cigars on her way home. She j:
indefaiigable in her coqueiry; while
revolving in the arms Of one beau, she
will illuminate another by her bright
glances /; her hand will return the warm
pressure of a devoted admirer, while
her little foot is busy in IFS little conf,
dences with his rival. In the race o
fashion our fast young lady is Away,
ahead. Is red the prevailing color, she
will fame in scarlet; if it is permitted
to display the shoulders, she will revea
the waist. Her daring spirit is Away,
flying beyond the verge Of decorum, ant
lowering in the dangerous neighborhood
Of vice.
