A deeper blush than usual mantled tho
cheeks OF the fair young widow; the dowHcast
eyes, whose pierces werp centred upon the
beautiful foot, which, half concealed by lie,
flowing drapery, partly pattcd the floor. She
with equal candor replied:
"Sir, the attachment IS reciprocal"
For some time the sheriff maintained an
astonished silence-at length he saidl
"Madam, will you proceed to coutt?"
Proceed TO co3rt, replied the lady with
merry atgh; then shaking head, she said:
"No sir, though this is leap year, will not
take advantage OF the license therein granted
for my sex, and, therefore greatly prefec
that you shGuld proceed to court"

WHEN LAbIEs SHOULD M Look IL, A.
A writer in the .iAdntic Monthly, thus en-
lightens the bellies of the street concerning
the iualenablc rights Of men to look at their
pretty faces
There arc some very pretty, but unhap-
pity very il-brcd women, who don't under
stand the laws Of the road with regard 10
handsome faces. Nature and custom would
no doubt agree in conccding to males the
right of at least two distinct looks at every
comely female countenance, without any in
! fraction Of the rules Of courtesy, or the scl-
timcnt of respect. The first look is neccs-
sary to define the person OF the individual
ono meets, so as to avoid her in passing

sitive some vulgar beauties are TO the slight

lady walks the streets she leaves her virtuou

well enough that the street is a picture gal

LADIES Iloors.--A correspondent Of the
Hartford Times gives the following curious
facts respecting the manufacture Of stcol
hoops for ladies' skirts, at the mill ,f Henry
5. Washburn. of Worcester, Mass:
''IIe showed us n specimen of No. G2 iron
wire, finer than a hair. 1t weighed only Sc
ven ounce, and $4,000 feet or 13 miles, Is
rods IL feet and inches in length. II was
drawn cold from iron I inch in diameter
M. WashbUrn manufactures 10000 yards n
day of steel clinoline, or iiet wire, which is
hard tempered and covered, all ready for
the ladies skirts. The manufacture of this
kind Of wire, or hoops, is immense. Mr..
Washburn estimates that at least 5000 tons
of steel and iron are used annually IN this
way for the ladies of the United States,
South America and Mexico. 1t is Sold when
covered, at wholesale, at about fifty cents
pound, and about three qaartcrs of pound
is required for each, Indeed, we suppose
that his estimate of 5000 tons of hoops u
year is quite too low. There are, undoubt-
edly, ten millions Of females in this country
and the South American States who wear
hoops. Many of them wear out half dozen
skirts year; suppose the average to be
three year to each, and that the iron of
each weighs only half a pound-wc have
$4,000. 900 of pounds of steel and iron hoops
usel by tie ladies of the United and South
American States every year, or 1862 tons,
costing 81 100000.

rhe Ladies of Philadelphia Boston,
Baltimore ana New York.

"Burleigh,' the correspondent Of the Dos
ton Journal writing from Philadelphia, March
7th, says:
ain no one thing do Boston, New York
Philadelphia aud Baltimore so much disa-
gree, as III the appearance of the ladies as
they walk out on the daily promenade
Boston and Philadelphia are somewhat alike
snowy; in Philadelphia the stald Quaker
looking, but plain. They all have n pale,
| salow look, as if raised in the shade and
as body they are far from handsome. A
pretty woman on the sidewalk of Chestnut
street is rare sight. But Baltimore is
flooded with beautiful women. 1t may be
in the Climatc-it may be from the style of
dress-it may be because they-no matter
what-but the ladies Of Baltimore diff alc ng
Baltimore street in drorcs of beauty, whilc
the decided snowy and often gaudy colors
worn attract attention and :his is not in one
or two instances. but dozens and dozens pass
you all of one style of beauty, and the eye is
dazzled with numbers.
But the ladies of New York are heteroge-
nous. 1'he crowd that floats along Broad
way is immense; but no two look alikc--no
two dress alike. The rich, the poor, the
belle, the domestic, the native, the foreign
the elegant. the homc y-all miucle and
blend the picture, so that one only sees a
| vast mass Of moviag creatures, having no
distinct form pr character. In dress the New
York ladies overload themselves, and the or
namcnts seem cumbrous and not elegant. If
they wear pIumcs they load themselves down
like an ostrich. If they put on furs, they
pile them NJ till they seem like portcrs carry
ing home goods. If they put on iewclry,
they wear it MS if their husbands manulac-
turcd the article and it was necdful for them
to becomes stand from which it is to he DIS
played. The same is seen in the dwellings,
where the gaudiness Of the steamboat and
the tinsel Of the circus seem to be the stand
ard of taste adopted The New York ladies
could learn lesson that would be of great
service to them, from the ladies Of Boston OF
Baltimore"

Use OF TOBACCo,-A few weeks ago n
great hue and cry was raised II. some of the
lnewSpapcrs against the practice of smoking,
because a gentleman, who was an habitual
smoker had recently died of cancer in the
mouth. Since then, we have observed that
the anti-tol acco society in Connecticut, uE-
der the lead of the Rev Mr.. Trask, have
taken ground against the raising Of tobacco
as sin! In this progressive age it is not
improbable that before long the question of
tobacco or no tobacco will be made test OF
church-membership in certain quarter Of
the Union and indeed we shall not be sur
prised if it gives rise to a new political
party, who will even present Il candidate fo.
the Presidency The movement IS certainly
n promising one, and we would advise all
political aspirants to be cautious how they
commit themselves to either side.
But, seriously, we do think, there is an
immense amount of nonsense in the outcry
which some people make about the use OF
tobacco. 1t is no doubt injurious to partic-
ular constitutions, Just as the common arti-
cles Of diet are, but that it is a comfort and
blessing to thousands Of men and women we
have no less doubt The celebrated English
chemist johnson, lately deceased, discusses
the subject at length in his work called The
Chemistry ui Common Life" and comes to
the same conclusion. He says that ali peo-
pie on the earth. civilized and savage, use
some kin'' of narcotic thus showing that il
is a want Of our nature and after summing
up the testimony for and against tobacco, he
declares that he cannot give his voice a.
sainst stimulant which Injuries so few per-
sons and seems to benefit 50 many more.
This is the opinion of one who was regarded
as the highest scientific authority, and who
did not himself use the weed. Stanton
