GcmtIcuncn's Fashions.

We see our swells are partly turning
their backs upon the all-round collars. that
for so many months past have turned their
beads that is TO say, granting the posi-
.bility of any one who was immured inside
one of those linen fastnesscs being able to
turn his head Mt all. Our handsome
young sweils-the darling pets of old
match h-rnaking Dowagers, and <the cher
shed eroteges of all lady patronesses who
have marriageable daughters--are now
devoting their cultivated minds to new
kind of collar. The present lawn enclosure
is by no means SO high, allowing large
slice of the neck TO be exposed to the ad-
miring gaze of the fair equestrians of
Rotten Row. The outer rim is doubled
over the edge of the shoetie that still does
gorge-duty instead of a neckkerchief
Sometimes the shoe-tie is run through a
handsome ring, and the ends allowed to
dangle elegantly in front. The effect is
especially light and airy.
One or two swells. anxious to distin-
guish themselves, have their initials, or
their crests, engraved on this same ring,
somewhat in the same style as sailors
have the names of their ship chalked in
white thread on the broad woollen cushion
of their breasts. The plan, though in
trifling degree redolent of the tinctare of
vanity, is not without its uses, as it is evil
dent that if any swell were at any time to
lose or forget himself, Gas for instance,
in a dangerous Irritation with an Irish
widow, or, still worse, in making love to
dowerless beauty he might be easily iden-
tilted by the help of his signei-ring, and
carried away Immediately, before he had
committed unjustifable swellicide, to
some place of safety.

Picture True Of Nature.

The following graphic description of
"good fellow on Il BENDER" is so true to
nature, that we cannot refrain from giving
it place i'll our columns. Who has not
seen many Il similar amusing, or rather
lamenable exhibition ? We clip it from
the "Philadelphia Evening Journal :"
1.-The eccentricities Of genius are won-
dertul. We saw yesterday an individual
who afforded living eXemplitication Of
this fact. He has preparing for the hoi-
day, and to use the words OF certain CO.
temporary, was on a grand sublime bust.
Fearful were the efforts Of Thos. Maize to
enjoy himself Ever and anon, over his
illustlious head, did he flourish bag of
gold, small bag, and then he asked every.
and fell back to allow everybody elte t.
come up and do likewise. Everybody else
invited their friends, and Il. Maize, Esq,
whirled the little bag of gold and pro-
duced the "tin," and paid the expense III
the most cheerful manner. Every voice
proclaimed him good fellow and SO of
course he was, for at 10 p. NJ. we saw him
generously and uunificently spilling him
self miscellaneously about the streets and
alleys. and we are perfectly satisfied that.
if he had not been very "good fellow"
he would not have done SO.
We saw him at 1 o'clock p. NJ, and
somebody had stolen his new boots and
given him an old pair Of pumps Under
the influence of two glasses of soda water
he had slightly recovered. AT Il he had
a relapse-he was on sublime drunk
Every body was present, i'll company with
else, and number of invite'l
guests. Thos. Maize, Esq, still tlourished
his bag-now considerably reduced-and
now and then the whole crowd walked up
and took sugar in their'n.
We saw him after that,
He had kinky hat

Natures True AriStOcr:lcy.
ny x. =. DIVINE.

Natures claim to an Aristocracy is
founded upon the soul, the spirit Of man,
and not upon the embodiment, nor its
trappings. "The jewels of the mind" are
the peculiar distinction of her nobility
She recognizes no worldly claim to supe-
riDrity. Titles of rank, and boasted
lineage are, to her, as sounding bars, and
a tinkling cymbal.
Mind Is really, the only true distinction
between man and man. All other dis
tinctions vanish, all Others are perisha6le.
Nature then has given her title 10 the i'm
mortal, imperishable, eternal infinite
Her Aristocracy are noble expressions of
God himself. They discovera magnanimity
and benignity, which assimlate man to
his Maker; a dislnterested love which
recognizes in the humblest child of hu-
manity, a brother. bearing the same pass
port to Immortality, which has been con-
ceded to them, and III undying virtue
which transcends i'll beauty all terrestrial
pageantry; aye, they discover love for
religion, for country, for truth, for right
which causes the horrors Of the inquisi-
ton, the tortures of the rack, and the
flames of the fag$ot to be reduced i'll mag
nitude, as they are speedy means of their
enjoying religion in its native atmosphere,
accompanied by the society of It's Author /;
of being members of that great Common
wealth, governed by the great and infal-
Liable Ruler; of proclaiming truth unmo-
Tested by the rabble, and of enjoying
those inalienable rights, which no one can
wrest from them.
History presents mighty array of no.
blemen whose heritage had been bequeath-
ed to them by nature. In that grand and
gorgeous procession, in whose ranks are
identified martyrs and phIlanthropisls,
philosopher and poets, warriors and states
men, sculptors and painters, writers and
are found no blazing jewels, no
purple and fine linen, no badges of honor,
nothing eXtrinsIc to command the respect
and homage of an udmiring world
These noble suns of distinction have
passed from earth; they have been
taken home, crowned with Cliadem
richer than ever monarch wore. Though
no mausoleum of marble contain their
dust, though upon no stately monument be
carved their claim to distinction; yet the
love, and admiration Of untold generations
will proclaim that they were Nature's
AriStocracy.
