THIS CELEBRATED GIN-pretending to no.

of what it is not as some of its rival imitators

Masculine AND FEMIN1SE.-Punch SLAM
derously says:-"lhe sun is called masculine,
from its supporting and sustaining the moon,
and finding her the wherewtha to shine
away as she does of a night, and from his
being OBLIGED to keep such family Of stars.
The moon is feminine, because she is con-
stantly changing, just like ship blown
about by every wind. The church is femin-
inc, because she is married TO the State; and
time is masculine, because he is trided With

French Women,

One sees comparatively lew Oeautllui WO-
men in Paris. | know of no large city out
of Egypt which has so little to boast of in
this respect. One NAV walk for hours on
the Boulevard or the Rue de Rivoli, and not
meet dozen really-lcvely faces. Among
the poor classes, the women are generally
hopelessly plain or positively ugly. In the
the higher ranks there are, of course, many
fine looking ladies, but few positively beau
tful. They have neither the rich blooming
complexion of the English nor the sottness
and delicacy of features Of the Italian wo-
men, There is frightful prevalence Of
snub-noses and pig-eyes, and v'lainous low
foreheads. Every other woman you see is
chubby or thick-wuisted, or round shouldered
or big ankled. If she happens to be tall,
ten chances to one she is squint-eyed and has
horrid stoop. And, then, nothing is more
common than to meet women with beard
huge, black, and bristlng! Nothing has
more forcibly struck me than this latter pc
cuarity. 1t is not scores, but hundreds of
women you meet daily with upper lips black
as the ace of spades There is this to be
said on the other hand: the French women
of the better orders dress with exquisite
taste. BY this means defects of forms are
greatly overcome, and even defects of face
are softened down into something half char
ming. And in the perfection of toilet, a
certain pertness and sauciness of carriage, a
vvacity the most sparkling, yet the most
delicate, and that indefneabe ndivete which
is the crowning grace of women-and you
have, suspect, the great secret of the pop
uarity of the French scion.

THE PSALM OF LIFE.
A PARODY.

Tell me not in cheerful numbers
Women are just what they seem,
Coming forth from morning slumbers,
Just like Eve from Adams dream.
Tell me not that they are earnest,
And their forms are all divine;
For, when dust to dust returneth,
What is left but crinoline?
Not enjoyment, neither sorrow,
makes ,r0man mend her way,
If her sister hoops tomorrow,
She'll out-hoop her the next day!
Art is long. and mills are beating
Out the calico and silk;
Mothers after fashion reaching,
Put their babies out to milk.
In the field of muslin battle,
Each one with the other strives:
If they're wcmen-Lord what cattle
Pass for lovers. ids and wives!
Natures form is quite forgotten,
Women are not what they seem;
Strip them of their hoop and cotton,
And what is left but a dream!
Oh! what bonnets, bran and stuffing,
Women wear. our love to earn;
Oh! what padding. frilling. putting
Spreading out '.from stem to stern!'
Not TO woman life is real
'Tis to them dreary swoon;
A time to shirk, to hirt and feel
~ Like spreading sky balloon!
What lump for grace to leaven.
Ere they reach the narrow gate;
Ten TO one if they see heaven
Not with HOOPS at any rate!
