NOT merely ngly, but decidedl,
and incontrovertably ugzy ; sl'
who trightens the children, turn
the milk sour, and is guilty Of 9th

needn't get wrathy with us abou

you, though we are happy to STATE
that your mum Der is few. Never

and we could not help considering
them ont OF place-a kind of zusut
nature, for whom there are art

that they can't get into a good hu

able to explain the cause of this,
butso it is. We recojlect to have
seen but two really ugly old maids
in our life, and they were so dec

they never could face man len

to them.
Then there is the naughty wom-
an-she whom pride OF b:anty and
wealth hath made vain as any D. a.
cock. Sec how she turns up her
delicate little nose when Mr.. Jack

her in the street. Has she forgot
ten her paternal grandfather was
a hod carrier? Is she any better
in her purple and fine linen than
he was in his hoden grayp We
trow not. Yet she plays out
brief existance, and descends to
the tomb, " mhonored and unsuug,'
because she has never done any
thing.which can live in the hearts

climb the steepest precipice, at the
risk Of getting her precious neck
broke, because somebody told her
not to do 50. She refuses to marry !
the man she loves, lest he should
think he Influenced her will, and
run away with Augustus Frizzle
for nothing else than that she heard |
her father threaten to apply the toe

There are many other kind Of
women, about we have no space
to speak at present, SO we will con
tent ourselves with what we have
said.
George S. HiIIiard, describing]

says:
The Sergeant.aat Arms occupies
l sort Of box at the southernmend.
He appears in full dress-a Court

cooked hat. Being a gentleman>
'fslender proportions, his legs look
ID to me like nothing so much as
wo pieces of black sealing wax.

Lfter he had been exam lining
