Circassian Women.

Circassian girls are seldom reluctant to be
sold to Turkey Those beneath certain
rank look upon such sale, on the part of their
fathers as a proof of his anxiety for the well
fare of his daughters Unless therefore, the
Circassian has seen youth upon whom to
lavish her young affections, she usually de-
sires to be sent to Stamboul If her father
be willing, she is sold to slave-merchant,
who takes her to the land she has chosen.-
There, she is sent to a ladies' school; where
she is carefully instructed, in the accomplish
ments of Turkish gentlewoman. And. if
she be very beautiful she will be taught read
ing writing, Turkish, Arabic, and Persian
literature-these will be an additional re-
commendation, in the eyes of wealthy Os-
manIi
After two or four according to her
age-spent in this seminary, the young girl
is fit for sale Her condition, now, receives
the most unremittng attention, for few
months
The doctor in attendance at the establish
ment visits her constantly. She is fed very
carefully; she is daily bathed very discreetly;
cosmetics, Of the most excellent kind, are
pressed into use
All these things are done, that her limbs
and face may appear beautifully rounded; ;
and that her skin may be pure, pale, clear;-
in word, that she may look her very love
lest
The Circassian girls always bring larger
price than the Georgian The beauty is of a
higher type. They are more Intellectual
They can manage IA household better-indeed.
the Cireassian ladies' may be elassed amongst
the most skilful, and most saving, housewives
in the world
An old Osmanli, who had well tried the
women OF both nations, told me that he loved
Clrcassian better than Georgian, as he
did the sun better than the moon For ii
Crcassian could make her harem smell like
the gardens of Peristan, and looked lovely as
if freshly descended out of Paradise, upon
purse of money that would not suffice a
Georgian to sand its floor like the Desert
DEATH OF a Man on HEARING OF THE DEATH
OF HIS WIFE-The New York journal of
Commerce of Tuesday afternoon, says:
We are panied to learn Of the sudden
death of Leonard n. DeIicher, of the firm
of Mack Delicher q Sage 81 Wall street.
He was at his Office in usual health until af-
ter o'clock last evening, and then went to
his house in Baltic st., Brooklyn. Between
nine and ten o'clock, a messenger from Dan
bury, Connecticut, called at his residence to
notify him Of the death of his wife, who had
been spending the summer in Conn. His
wife had been in feeble health but the an
nouneement Of her death gave him such a
shock that he was taken suddenly i'll and ex
pired before eleven Mr.. Dellcher was uni
yersally esteemed for his pleasant manners
and prompt business habits, and his sudden

lnE actors aud actresses, and making them ne
pius ultrds on every occasion, is finely hit off
in the following criticism upon Ellen Trees
acting, many years ago, in St Louis. 1t was
written by HooSicr, and comes much nearer
to the truth than oue-half the senseless iargon
that is met with, almost every day, in many
of our papers
"Ill tell you an almighty strange thing of
how that gal Ellen Tree works on the feel
ngs Of critters. When she was acting Julia
in our parts, the door-keepers came in, for it
was tarnaton cold, and no one took notice of
the door, COS no more could get in when an
old bear snufled his way into the town, and
finding no one astir for they were all ut the
play, what does the critter do but go there
too, and crawls up behind the boxes. guess
he meant to sup off some Of us chaps but.
however, h. listened and listened, till he got
quite affected, and so Modified, that he VOW
ed he would never go man-eating any more :;
next night he came again and brought his
wife and the thing was only discovered ON
the third night when he was seen coming
down to the boX-ollice with an alligator -

ones, that's fact We feel it deeply this
Monday morning, sitting at our study window
gazing out upon the naked bean-poles, the
mildewcd corn-stalks and dropping squash
vines Of our vegetable patch. With weeks
work before us, and a fit of the blues on hand
we can sympathise with the woe-begone as

moral character is attached to autumnal
scenes-the leaves falling like our hours: the
clouds lleeting like our illusions, the light di-
minishing like our intelligence, the sun grow

like our lives, all bear secret relations to our
