Kissing Married Women in
France

In France, to kiss lady with whom
you are not at all intimate, on meeting
her, is veay common; especially is this
the case if she be married lady. Not
only the members of the family, but all
the guests, expect invariably to salute
the lady of the house ou coming down in
the morning But though the modest
American may, perhaps, escape the
ceremony on ordinary occasions, yet on
New Years day it is temperatiye. On
that morning, says Paris letter writer,
came down to my coffee about 9 O'clock
sat down quietly, bidding Madame a
ION jour, as on ordinary occasious.-
But was not to get of 50 easily. Iu a
few moments she was at my elbow, with
. Mons. b, am very angry with you. y
l expressed, of course, a regret, and ig-
norance at having given her offence.
Ah." said she, you know very
well the reason. 1t is because you did
not embrace mo when you came down
this morning
Madame was a lady of perhaps twen-
ty-cight, with jet-blaci:, glossy hahn,
large lustrops black eyes, clear, fair
complexion She was very beautiful !;
had she been plain should have felt
less embarrassed She waited as though
expecting Inc to atone for my neglect; !;
but how could I before the whole table?
sat all this time trembling in my seat
At length Madame said .. Mons. B. j.
en15raSScz moi u The worst had come.
L arose trembling put my white blood
less lips, all greasy, with butter, and
wet with coffee (for in my enbarrass-
ment, dropped my napkin) to those
of Madame. This was my first French
kiss.

V1srr TO AN EDIroR's RANcHE.-A
lottsr from New Braunfels, Texas, to
the Galveston NeW,, dated February
22d, says:
paid visit yesterday to the rancho
of G.. w. Kendall, Esq, of the New
Orleans Picaystne and found him bust
ly engaged making improvements on the
beautiful site he has selected for his fu-
ture home. He has already built a
good substantial stone house, command
ing a fne view of the surrounding coun-
try, which extends fer. miles through a
romantic region, interspsrsed with wild
scenery of the finest character. His
chi1f attention has been directed to the
raising of sheep, in which he has sue
ceeded we'll, since his removal to the
valley of the Comal. His flock is the
finest I have seen in Texas, being COM
posed mostly of pure blOoded msrinoes,
which produce the finest and most costly
wool.

The Secret Of being Loved.

William Wirt's letter to his d d4ugh-
ter, on the small sweet courtesies of
life, contains passage from which deal
of happiness might be learned -
want to tell you secret. The way to
make yourself pleasing to others, is to
show that you care for them. The
whole world is like the miller at Mans
field, who cared for nobody-no, not he
because nobody cared for him. And
the whole world will serve you so, if you
give them the same cause. Let all per-
sons, therefore, sea that you do care
for them, by showing them what Sterae
so happily calls the small, sweet cour-
tesies in which there is no parade
whose voice is too still to lease, and,
which manifest themselves by tender and
affectionate looks, and little kind acts
of attention, giving others the prefer
ence in every little enjoyment at the ia
BILE, in the field, walking, sitting or
standing.

How THE TURKS DIVERT THEIR Wo-
MEN.-The Grand Senior often diverts
his. ladies with variety of rccreatIons,
In the month of May they have the great
tulip feast, which requires vast prepara-
tions. There ein the gardens of the
seraglio, large PORTIONS of yariegated tu-
lips, which, OH these days, are inter
spersed with all kinds Of singing birds !;
shop are erected around them, and fur
rished by the Sultan with all sorts of
trinkets, toys and rich stuff. Some of
the most facetious females of court are
the shop women. He buys from all and
regales all his ladies. At night this ba-
zaar is decorated with lamps which
makes pleasing prospect even at dis
tance. Great men indulge their women
in similar amuscments, and on these oc-
casions of festivity some call in neigh
boring harems, so that their time pas
ses more happily than we imagine; at
least they injoy better health and vigor
than if they had operas, plays, rane-
lagh, vaux balls, and routes continual
ly harrassing their constitutions and
abridging short existence in vor-
tex of capricious and turbulent diver
sions Larpenc.

Bulwarked with congenlal affection
against the clash of the external world,
and defended by virtueus trustfulness
from the vicious and the false struggles
without, the sharer of true Heart
Home forgets the flashed tomorrow, and
oarking cares are rocked to rest on the
warm bosom of sympathetic love.
The night-shadows of every day life
fall not upon the root ef his tranquil
home and the rough winds of ordinary
e1isteroe rattle not at his myrtle bound
easement. The unshaded hour is always
in his bosom, and CLEANS cut upon his
home in food of brightness that no
cload can obscure.
Rich visions rise and float away, and
rise again for aye in the holy temple of
beloved home, with all unending splen-
dor !; and the heart which there worships
and is worshipped in return, hearkens
unto self created hymns'with rapture,
and wonders at their melody.
The heart, commingled with the soul
that dies not, will, when the disc of time
dims in in the glory of eternity, hear
those hymns again and the liberated
spirit will rejoice that the harps of
Heaven first reached it with their sym
phonies amid the holiness Of its earth
formed Home.
