A Fast Woman.

The New York Mirror has a cor
respondent at Newport who writes
over the signature Of Belle Britain
In her last she tells the following:
i overheard funny conversation
last evening between a gentleman
and a lady who were promenadng
behind me, from which learned the
definition OF fast woman" The
couple were discussing the attractions
of young lady who received heap
of attention here from the bcaux--

man remarked that he had not vet
been able 10 discover the charm, OF
the fair one in question.
Oh said the lady she is faS; and

DP The following passage on Shak-
speare is from Lecture on the phi
losophy Of Life" recently delivered
by William Winter, Esq, Of Cam
bridge:
"For the grandest human intellects
there is no exemption from the com
mon doom. lhavc sometimes thought
how sad, yet how sublime, must have
been the emotions of that man, whose
privilege it was to stand by the coffin
of Shakespeare, and gaze on that sweet
and noble face, when death had called
out all the strange beauty which new
er lives till then. 1t was worth life
time to have stood there one inmate
Ito have laid your hand on that broad
brow, and started at the cold chill
and, SO pausing, to have called up in
memory all the magnificent creations
of his genius, and worshipped him
there in the silence and the gloom:
But he is dead and gone:
At his head grass green turf,
At his heels stone.
So they all go. Man dies, but nature
is eternal. The seasons keep their
appointed time; day returns with its
eloquent mystery. The same stars
which Lit the ghastly battlefield OF
Troy-rough with the dead bodies Of
ancient heroes; which shonc on the
marble streets of imperial Rome, and
on the sad eyes Of Virgil, sleepless in
the living glow of inspiration--the
watch fires of the angels, which thro'
centuries Of devastation and change
have still burned on increasingly
speak to us as they did to Dante, and
Shakespeare, and Milton, of the divine
glory, the omnipotence, the evcrIas,
! ting beauty and love of Cod"

A few Hints on Church, Etiquette.

To Gentlemen we would say:
Fancy, upon opening the door, eve
rybody will look at you. and bear your
self proudly till you get to your seat;
then pass your hand over your hair, to
see if the hours labor that you spent
upon it has not been in vain; then take
a good long stare at the congregation
to see who is there. II YOU chew TO-
bacco, blaze away into the seat be-
hind you, or else let fly at your neigh,
boris patent feathers; cut your name
on the back Of the front seat, with tbs
likeness of a one-eyed hypocrite; stare
frequently at the pretty girl behind
you, and if possible, send her note
assuring her that she has the prettiesI
hand or the most exquisite blue eye
this side of Paradise.
After having exhausted all reaSoua
bic amusements you may shut yonI
eyes, open your mouth. and favor ih'
congregation with an ex'emporc snore
After the service is over, do the agree
able, if possible, to some divinity. an
thereafter write yourself a Brick.

fled admiration. Step dainty and
gracefully up the aisle, seat yourself.
stra'shicn up, seat yourself once again
repeat SIX consecutive times, pull the
outer garment little way over the
left shoulder. then back on the right,
and after doing this a few times leave
it whore you found il. Straighten
down your collar, then straighten it
up; pull out highly porrumed pocket
handkerchief, pass It over your lips
and then return it; smooth down both
sides Of your dress and thrust the toe
Of your exquisite foot just little out,
and then after rising and sitting down
again, you will be prepared for fur
Their developments. Being properly
fixed you will rise and sit down again,
and after again rising and sitting
down, it would be well to repeat it.
If the gentleman in front sends you
note. hide in your prayer-book or
fan, and read it when be is not looking.
You need pay no particular attention
to the preaching-that will be for the
benefit of sinners. If you have blue
eyes turn them upward once in %
while, if black, partly close the lids
and look dreamy. II there is a gen.
tlcman at church whom you particu-
larry fancy, look but once at him, and
then drop your glance Immediately.
After church don't accept a gentle

The LADIES CAsED IN BRAss.--Most
Of the brass mills in Connecticut are
busy preparing the brass hoops which
ladies wear in their skirts. The Win
sted Herald says that the new brass
Mill at Plymouth is engaged upon an
order for 1000 pounds Of these strips
OF brass; and that an average of 700
pounds daily is sent to New York by
Railroad. The Waterbury mills are
also manufacturing brass hoops. The
ladies say, however, that the steel
hoops are the best, as they do not bend
or break so easily as the brass ones.
