Mrs. Smith. Why. there's Mrs. Croak
er. she deals in scandal by the whole
sale; it does seem 50 me a though
that wolnan's tongue must be almost
worn out but no, there's no danger of
that. If everybody was like me there
wouldn't be much trouble in the world.
Oh, no. I never gossip. But did vou
know that Miss Elliot had got a new
silk dress, Mrs. Smith ? Yop didn't
well she has; its real brocade; l
say it myself | do say it's shameful for
her to be SO extravagant; I mean to
give her a piece of my mind, Mrs.
Smith. You believe her uncle gave
it to her /? Well, I don't care if he
did; why, its only two months since
her father failed, and now, to see her
dash out in this style, its a burning
shame. suppose she thinks she's
going to catch young lawyer Stanhope,
but | guess she'll find herself mistaken:
he's got more sense than to be caught
by her, if she has got a brocade silk
dress.
And there's the upstart dressmaker.
Kate Manly, setting her cap for the

Skesick's son will have more discretion
than to think of marrying her.
Some folks ell her handsome ?
We'll, l don't. She ain't half so good
looking as my daughter, Jane. Then
the way she does up her bair in such

Mrs. Smith, she actually had the i'm
pudenee TO tell me that she couldn't
make her hair straight as my Martha

I'd risk but what her hair would BE-

A LErTER To YOUNG LApIEs.

We take the following extract from
the Knickerboeker, the truth and force
of which wlll be acknowledged by all
our ladies, should they read it. After
a short Introductory, the writer says !:
This brings me to the criticism /
wished to make !; you are too credu,
lous. You will pin your faith to the
seriest shadow and not all the world,
not even your own bitter experience,
can shake it. How often you grant a
man his most preposterous assumption.
If he says he is wise and witty, you will
believe him, although his fellows say
he is blockhead. He lays his soft
hands on yours and pirates of upright
ness and purity, and you smile upon
and trnst him, although half world
knows that he is worthless profigate.
A gentleman said in my hearing the
other day, in speaking of your sex :
:" How we do humbug them p and to
is own disgrace and the injury Of
trusting woman, know that be spoke
the truth.
A few months ago the London jour
nalists were laughing about the exploits
Of worthless vagabond, ealing him
self Count Puffemupskihi, or some such
name It appeared that he lived BY
making love to the wealthy ladies, and
hen robbing them. When / get
through with one, ] take another, was
his cool confession. He found women
enough TO swallow his story a
Polish noble exile" and so they pity
ingly received him to their hearts and
their purses. It seems incredible that
woman should believe all stranger
-hooses to say Of himself, and give her
faith and her honor upon the strength
Of his unattested declarations yet cases
of this kind are of constant occurrence.
= y < You turn with
q naughty injured air from one who
would defend you in all which you
ought to value, as yaliantly as ever
knight of old, but he has too much
straight forward honesty 10 pay you a
single unmerited compliment, or to
praise your foibles; you turn from sus b
a one, to smile and blush at hollow
yapid adultation.

Do you own a COW? Every good man
ought to- For COW is the saint of the
barnyard. Not one of those final saints,
who are born afar off from goodness, and
fight their way to it but one of those
mild, meek, harmless. natural saints. If
homeluSes is necessary to goodness, (and
there is strong presumption for the theo-
ry,l COW has this prime qualification.
For nothing can we'll be more devoid of all
beauty than a genuine mixer. There is
not one line Of beauty. There is not one
limb that seems to have regard for another.
The muscles are thin, the shoulders aud
neck fat and poor, the hind quarters wide
across and guant, and the whole form is
meager, lathy, and poverty But
when we reflect that all this comes from a
cows benevolence, aud that she eats, ru-
inmates, digests, and, in short, lives, for
the sake of others, our sense of her benev-
olenee at length clothes her with q kind OF
moral beauty. She could be fat if she
would only be selfish. But she economi.

hsm Of saints, we do not remember single
instance in which the COW is advanced to
signify anything in holy figure. Bulls and
