NxruRs-Next to the leye of God, . love of nature early implaated and constantly culti. vated, Is the purest and most lasting source of enjoyment. Its object never sicken and die, and atspleasures never pail upon tue senses They sre as common as the air aud sunshine, and like . good well of water, become more abundant and grateful tho more we resort to their cool eeffeshment. Blessed h tho man whose early years were made familiar with rural sights and sounds-whose first lessons taught him to call the trees and flowers bg their names, to receg- nixe . ftiendin everything that bends with tho dew or stirs with the daylight. aud in whose memory mothers love aud . sister, gentleness are intimately intsrwoTen with the music and beauty God had scattered freely over the earth. 10 him 1t will be easy in after life to renew the sasour of bis happier days. The flowers will apei1g up, end the birds will sing beside the deep cuts, which care and business have made Tn his soul.

"A HARD L1cK."-Some forty years ago, there resided in one ofthe New England States two eminent lawyers, who were bitterly opposed to each other, especially in politics. Mr B., who was subsequently distinguished Member of Congress, and MT. H., who was afterwards for many years on the Bench. Before the par ties had arrived at their highest distinction, child was sworn on Mir. H. by chambermaid at Q hotel where he boarded in neighboring town, when the Courts were in session there. MT. II. had a jury trial, and Mr. B. was en- ployed to prosecute the case. Mir. H. had nervous trick, particularly when he was much excited, of licking his lower lip with his tongue in rapid manner. Mr. B. had the child train cd for several days for the occasion, by placing . little honey on the childs lip, and 1t very naturally put it's tongue over the lip and licked the sweet morsel. Mir. B. arranged to have the child brought into court just at the time he was commenting, in his closing argument, on tho resemblance of. the child to the putative father. Fhe presence of the child caused H. topass his tongue over bis lip with unusual ra- pidity. and the honey on the child's lip caused 1t to lap out its tongue in an equally rapid man. nsr. Mr. B. said, with great emphasis, Gen tlemen of the jury look on Mis," pointing to MT. H., 1and then on tais," pointing to the child, {" and doubt your senses if you can as to tho paternity of that child" Itis unnecessary, perhaps, to say that this remark of the snrcas. tic ME B. brought down the house immedi. Ately.

Female Beauty.

The " Attache in Madrid" thus discourses on the
comparative beauty and style OF the French, Eng.
lsh and Spanish ladies $50 AS general impression,
should say that there is beauty, both of face
and figure, TO be here than in any other capital
that the toilette in Paris is TASTEFUL in London
less so. In London there is, perhaps greater air
of high breeding in the gher circles, but ucompar-
bly, less grace. No such feet and figures were ever
at ST. James, nor, in spite of all the accessories
of the TuilIeries. French woman and graceful
tounure is the result of art education and the toll
lette. An English womans elegance proceeds from
her high breeding and pur sang but the grace Of
the Spanish woman is pure nature. No where can
such eyes be in Spain, where for siZe color,
| or expression. AS English women advances in
years, she generally grows thin the Spanish sonora
is apt become unwiedy; the one contracts, the
other expands and the expansion system, though it
must be nconv nvenient, preserves the beauty of the
face to late period of life'

/ The Paris correspondence of the Independence

in which the Russian plenipotentiary, Count Orloff
lately expressed his opinion of the character of the
present Emperor: -
"The greatest grief (chagrin) of my life," said
the count, 6 now that | know the Emperor Napoleon
is that my late master, the Emperor Nicholas, did
not know him too If he could have seen him for
but half an hour not only would there have been no
war, but the best relations would have been estab-
shed between the two sovereigns and the two coun-
r tries The Emperor Napoleon has precisely those
traits Of character that would have exercised great
influence over the Emperor Nicholas"

There is current of simplicity running throug
hese original 81 Lilly and Rose verses, which sparl
es IN The sunlight Of their pretty fances
Lady May at the Hall, is fair
But Kate at the Mill is fairer;
Lady May wears pearls in her hair,
And the pearls not so white the wearer.
But katieS cheeks so lovely red,
That the ribbons look pale on her pretty head
And some one know, finds it hard to choose
Ihe regal Lilly, or the rustic rose.
Lady May has Htlswhite hands
Kate's are brown with the of Summer;
And with high-bred ease the lady stands
To courteously greet the knightly conner.
But the color Katie'S eloquent cheeks,
More than her timid greeting, speaks,
And IN my heart | cannot choose
Io love the Lilly more than the Rose.
Lady May is the child of an Earl
And her rank and birth early taught her
The other, lovely, and loving girl
OtherwIse-Only miller'S daughter
But | do not marry the ancestors tall
hat stare from Sir Roberts Gallery WALL
And the heress fear, that fair work of art,
Hath just as much of a human heart.
Lady May lifts up or casts down
The large blue eyes of the house of Melville;
But katie's eyes frank and brown,
And the lashes droop on her cheeks soft level
lis strange to turn from that shadowy look,
Where you read her thoughts like open book
To stand in the light of the Lilly's gaze
Ana praise those eyes-that are used to praise.
Lady May was but boy,
And you but child, when this troth was plighed,
And time has done much the bond to destroy
Of hearts that were only half united
Many Lerd will woe bride
Who would crown his life with her stately pride.
ask not much thy patience to prove
My lady! only ask for tOUe
Lady May | did not need
TO lay hot words your altar chilly,
For better had looked in a murkey weed
For the love sought, than this glossy Lilly,
Love! passion for village girls
Not for the daughter of noble Earls!
And my Lilly lady smiles in scorn,
And leaves me to seek of the lowly-born.
Oh! Lady May thy lands are wide,
Thou art the Neville's only heiress,
And though thou be not worshpped bride.
hou still wilt be the first and fairest
And to thee, who hast all, this little gold ring
Would be but very trifng thing
1t would add not much to thy fortunes store
To met is all the world, and more.
My Lady May, you did not love-
You had no heart in your snowy breast;
For cannot expect to find a dove
When we look in the golden eagles nest.
So keep your wealth of tower and hill,
And l. sweet Katie of the mill
And none shall know how royalty chose
And left the lilly to cherish the Rose.
