Pretty WoMEN.-A pretty woman h

angel in dry goods and glory. She makes
sunshine, blue sky and happiness wherever
she goes. Her path is ono Of delicious

poem written in rare curls and choice
calico and good principles. Her words
float around the ear like music, birds of
Paradise, or the chime of Sabbath bells.
Without her, society would lose its sruest

and young men the very best of comforts

A S E r M ON N,
DELIVERED IN NEW ORLEANS, BY
Escy. Es. WI. Palmer, I'D. I'D.

The Rev. gentleman took the following
for his text -
Shall the throne of iniquity have ftl.
lowahip with thee, which framcth mischief
by u law ?-Psalm KEW, 20.
All the men of thy confcderacy have
brought thee even to the border; the men
that were at peace with thee have deceived
and prevailed against thee they that ate
thy bread have laid wound under thee !;

Aftcr few remarks of an Introductory
nature and explanatory Of the text, the
speaker came to hi. application. lie said ::
We have fallen upon times when there

rather than to the public veal, reckless
radicalism which seeks for the subversior
of all that is ancient and stable, and
furious fanaticism which drives on Its Il

to the evil it engendcrs-all those combine
to create portcntous crisis, the like o
which we have never known before, ant
which puts 70 a crucifying test the virtues

An English scholar thus discourses at
the close of IN essay on the subject In
story founded on the same plot as Gym
beline,' waare told how the hchimO, of the
tale, lay atWaltam whole day before he
caught sight of the lady; when seeing her
in field, he went up 20 her and kissed
her--'a thing no modest woman can deny
The practice was in full vigor when Eras-

Enthusiastically in its commentator If
you go to any place, you are received with
a kiss by all; if you depart ON journey,
you are dismissed with kiss; you return
kisses are exchanged; they come to visit
you--a kiss the first thing; they leave you
you kiss them all round. DO they meet
you anywhere kisses in abundance.
Lastly, wherever you move, there is moth
ing but kifses--and if you had but once
tasted them how soft they are how
fragrant !--on my honour, you would wish
not TO reside here for ten years only, but
for lie ! Ladies then used kissing -comfts
If Gmbv-gycase to swecten their breath
1t is upon record that the woods Of Madel-
ia, or at any rate, the people in them, once
trenbled at kiss; aud that the Scotch
parson kissed the iiddler's wife, and could
not preach for thinking of ia notable
instance Of sweetness long drawn ont. An
old treatise on the pleasures of matrimony
and its preliminary couriship, assures Us
that when n lady condescends to treat her
lover by letting him taste the charming
cherries of Ter lips, and draw from thence
the fragrant breath that far exceeds Ara
bias rich perfume, the privilege wraps the
happy man in such pleasure that he imag-
ines lie is in Elysium! But this is fiat, stale,
and Improbable compared with the eject
