A Moman's Bonnet.
.Phila. Bulletin.

A woman's bonnet (always providing that her
means are sufficient to crafty her taste) is a
sure index Of her character. Show me a gaudy
bonnet loaded with feathers and ribbons of all
the hues of the rainbow, decorated with japoni-
cas- and cabbage roses Of bright blue and gla-
ring yellow and ] will know its wearer, before
see her, to be vulgar woman, loud-voiced,
intrusive, and fond of show and fnery. Be-
meath the brm of that little straw bonnet, with
its band of white ribbon, its little bouquet Of
half.opened roses, and its delicate face.trimming
of spotless bloade, with just one blossom ncst-
ling amid it's purity, can see a fair young
face with eyes as blue as violets and mouth
rosy and kiss-inviting. 1t is young wife, per-
haps, living the first halcyon days of newly
married life! Under that fairy compilation of
white and green, transparent as a gossamer,
with its soft, white marabouts and floating fall
of lace, | can imagine pair of wicked, dark,
cOquetish eyes, and a mass of ebon braids and
ringlets, truly terrible to susceptible masculine
hearts. Yonder black velvet, with dropping
plumes and drapery of lace, and just thought
Of white and crimson about the face, belong to
mamma-matronly and plumpy-who wouldn't
be too gay for the world, but tells the milliner
to put little crimson upon her bonnet because
"he" likes it. That is just as certain as the
fact that the drab satin, without a particle of
face trimming, and no cape to speak OF, will
grace the countenance Of aunt Mehetible, who
lives sup to Tompkinsvile." and belongs 10 a
Methodist meeting. Various pretenlious bon
nets, with a multiplicity Of bows. and perfect
arbor of flowers and fruit about the face, are
evidently the property of single ladies who
have long since forgotten their birthdays, and
earnestly wish that other people would forge
them also. And that gorgeous concern, evi
IDENTIFY made with the intention Of discovering
how much bonnet could cost if it tried, be
longs most certainly to Mrs Skewton, or ont
of her clique. Laugh if you choose; but
show me a woman's bonnet, and I'll draw he
portrait for you.

: seemed absorbed in contemplation, and paid n,
attention to what was saying. Returning tC
his seat, he remained Sc long silent, that ven.
tured to resume my book. But just as was
rdlsing the volume to ny eyes, my friend broke
from his revere, and bringing down his trc-
mendOus fist upon the table with slam that sent

at the shop opposite, with or without box.
He appeared greatly relieved by this infor-
nation, and started off to the shop to get the
required article. watched him till l saw him
safely sheltered upder the tobacconist's roof,
and then proceeded to close my front door and
windows, SO as to convey to the strangers mind
the impression that had 'uamoSed the rdnch."

sophisticated a fellow mortal, but liked the
idea of " ShOviRg him round" still less, espe-
caly on such day as that, and so cousoled
myself with the reflection that the end some
ImcS justfes the means, and proceeded to bolt, |
bar lock, aud prop all the shutters in the strong
est possible manner, and await the return Of my
modern Hercules.
He came, in a few minutes, and walking
straight up to the door, apparently without no.
ticing the change things had undergone, raised
the latch aud precipitated himself against the
door with such force that started back in af-
fright, fearing lest a repetition might bring
about the same calamity l had feared on the
first appearance of my friend. But the assault
was not repeated, and soon had the satsfac.
tion OF hearing his heavy boots resounding
along the pavement in the direction of the
Hotel. He was muttering something to him
SELF however, as he went, about "town folks"
and it was long time before essayed TO poke
my head out of DOORS fearful of encountering
my "caee," and being compelled to make an
/" explanation" But he troubled me no more,
and after remaining for several hours shut up
in my self made prison, readmitled the light,
aud finished my book without further Interrupt
tion. But enough.

Extension of tn English Language.

AS we believe that there is no language used
on earth that contains so many books in every
department of science, literature and religion,
and no language used by so many religious, be-
nevolent, free, and earnest men-earnest in
every thing pertaining to the best welfare OF
the race-sO we are gratlfed to muse upon the
extent to which this language is now used, and
upon the continual spread Of it among the ma
tions. Besides being the good old mother of
the British Isles nd of the United States, it is
used all over the immense and widely extended
colonies Of the British Crown in North America
Il is the language Of the larger portion of the
West India Islands. 1t is spoken in all the
centres of commercial activity in every part of
South America. 1t is the sole language of the
infant nations OF Australia, New Zealand, and
Van Dieman's Land. And, by activities Of
American and English commerce and mission
ary enterprises, it seems destined to spread
among the countless Pacific Isles. 1t prevails
along the coasts of Eastern and Western AZ
rica, and is moving upwards from the Cape of
Good Hope into the most central regions Of
highway to Asia it is a familiar sound" The
most active and influential Of the native popu-
lation in India, from Cape Comorin to the
IIimalaya mountains, are zealously engaged in
acquiring it. II is one of the every .da fused
dialects in five of the most popuOus and com.
mercal Ports of China. And recent treaties,
and the already opening commerce Of Eng land
and America, is making it familiar to the ears
of the dwellers in the populous islands of Japan
All these facts Indicate the continual progress
of the English language among the nations /;
and it certainly seems destined to be spoken
and used by larger number of the human fam
lily than any other language. And as these
two things are true, first, that this language
contains more religious literature than any
other language; and, second, this kind of lit
erature is sure 10 60 wherever the language
goes, therefore we look with great satisfaction
on the wider and wider spread OF our mother
tongue among the nations, in view of the moral
and religious advantages sure to arise from it,
