A VENERABLE BEAU AT THE SPRINGS
There is one habitue ofSaratoga. says Sara
toga correspondent, who has been at the
Springs this season, as for the last thirty
years. He is known to all frequenters of the
place, and is usually as much Of character
as the fabulous hermit Of Niagara. He came
here first when young man, and danced and
firted with girls who are now dead in their
collins, or else are grsndmotherly dowagers.
He danced and firted with different sets and
generations of girls. He grew bachelorlike,
and then middle-aged, and then old. His hair
fell of, so he wore wig. He retained pol.
lish of mannersan d sprightliness Of CONVEX
sation, and was always. welcome. He yielded
not ungracefully to bis advancing years, and
by so doing retained the respect and regard of
new sets of young girls, while the dowagers
looked upon him as a necessity.
Mrs. Rush, the Philadelphia lady who died
few years ago, and who spent every summer
at the United States Hotel for at least quar-
ter of q century, was one of his best friends;
and they used to renew every year their old
acquaintance. He never married; and this
year he is at Saratoga, as we'll dressed, if not
as gay as ever. But he finds a decided
change in the company. Not only fresh girls,
but dowagers perplex him; and, as he does
not know the elder he has no connecting link
with the younger visitors; so to him, at least,
this is rather dresry season, for he finds he
is getting too old to enjoy or be enjoyed at

NoruING LIKE A Coop TALKER.-There is
a world of truth in the saying that "at six
teen girl prefers the best dancer in the room !;
at two-and.twenty the best talker, and at
thirty the richest man." The girl of sixteen
is not supposed to feel enough of the worlds
hypocrisy and society's necessities to appre-
ciate fully the value of wealth, at thirty, the
misfortunes Of her friends, who have married
on dream of "iove in cottage" have made her
appreciate the usclessness of money too much.
Both extremes have their faults. As for the
"best talker," he is not only preferred by la
dies of twenty two, but admired by ladies and
envied by gentlemen of every age for what
is more pleasing than the society of o man
whose mind is well stored with knowledge,
which his tongue is capable Of uttering with
Auency, grace and eloquence, that maketh
old truths assume the enchanting dignity of
q moral philosophy. There is nothing like a
good talker to win his way to the hearts Of
his acquaintances, and particularly to the
hearts of the ladies. They are generally
fluent, but not "good" takers themselves.
They have generally an abundance of words,
but are not so amply supplied with ideas.
The man, therefore, who is ready of speech
as they, but who.. has acquired the art of using
choicer diction, and who has the faculty of
introducing new ideas in old shapes, or old
ideas in new shapes, excels them upon their
own ground. This excellence which would
inspire envy if he were woman, inspires ad-
mraton as he is man. Hence his popular
ity. 1t is astonishing, though, what a small
modicum of wit and learning will give a volu.
bic man brilliant reputation as good talker.
We have seen an exceedingly shallow thinker,
and a very specifically accomplished man,
carry all before him. We have seen it, too,
in the presence of men of varied and extensive
erudition. But, alas they could not talk well.
They had not the gift Of gab." And how
often is this the case in mixed assemblies.
How often the frivolous scum r.ses to the sur.
face and provokes admiration; while the more
solid material sinks to the bottom, and goes
quite out of sight.

The Spanish foot is small and elegantly
