SON, Of the regular army. the other day. Not:
withstanding his decidedly unmilitary trim-he
only had two crutchcs. accoutrements not pro
yided for 10y Scott or Hardee-he presented quite
n soldierly appearance, and from his past history
we believe him to be rs substantial as he is good
looking. He was on Fremont's staff in Missouri
last summer, and also on General Lanes, and
has seen much service. A broken leg has kept
him confined for some time, but We hope ere long
TO see him on duty again.

A lady Are there two words in the die
tionaries of all nations between Greenwich
and South Australia that coniure up in the
mind and heart of one who hears, reads,
speaks, or sees them, thoughts and feelings of
pure gentleness and sweeter emotion A my
biological angel is very worthy individual,
there is no doubt, but her merits are SO utterly
unconnected with all flesh and blood, and
therefore she is so without the range Of the
most potent of oar sympathies, that with al
respect fer her personal facinations and, per-
haps her moral principles; she is no more to be
compared, in our opinion, to lady, than the
insubstantiality of a water nymph is to be
compared to the elegant and loveable plump
ness of the Medicean Venus 1t is impossi-
BILE to think of a lady without thinking of her
eyes-tbose brilliant temples of her soul; of
her lips-those perfumed flowers where her
sweet feelings, like bees in honied lily's
heart love TO finger; but who but the lover or
the poet thinks of her hair-of her golden
locks, waving ike folds of substantial sun
shine; or of her raven tresses, making more
white the immaculate purity of her softly
crimsoned skim or shading the light of her
eyes as the myrtle shadeth the tender violet
from the suns potency.
Expressive as the eye and the mouth are, how
much ia the expression of each of them effect
ed or arltered by the manner in which the
hair is dressed SO that after all every feature
in the face is subsidiary sovereign to the cri-
| natory infuencer of the whole facial aspect
Now, as far as yostng ladies are concerned, flor
there is satire about discussing the question
as how an old lady should dress her hair,
which we are gallant enough not even to al
Jude to- We are bold enough TO declare it to
be our opinion that the mode Of wearing hair
most suited to by far the greater number of
| faces, is that which allows profusian of long
and ample ringlets to fall over the shoulders,
and to attire them, as it were, entirely behind,
with just ringlet or two curving down in
| front of each shoulder, as Miss Fanny Wynd-
/ ham, many of our readers will remember,
dressed her hair in the part she SO exquisitely
| played in Lord Burghesh's lately produced
| opera, II 7brneo The fashion commonly de-
nominated a Ia ChinoiS we hereby enter our
especial protest against, firmly believing, a.
/ we do, that the face would look scarcely pleas.
ing, in every respect, were the head complete.
~ shaved. Those huge curles, only three oil
four in number, on each side of the head, anc
| first worn by our French neighbors, we alsc
object to- unless the face is q small one, giving
it, as they do in the reverse case, look moi
sufficiently gentle and selfpossessed and femi
nine. Plated hair We admire and regard q
/ judicious when the wearer possesses altogethe
but little, but this is an extremely inferior
mode of dressing it to the one wa first men

and command sLall be the mode practised b,
all the beautiful beings in the human botan,
of England. &.

Considerable sensation was excited here to-
