An AMDRoTYPED AuDIRNCE.-lti is very
curious to study an expectant audience.
The gentlemen sit resignedly upon their
seats, comfortable, or the reverse, as the
case may be; thinking of nothing, or think
ing of something, Just as it happens, in q
sort of an amiable, chewing -the-cud stupor,
oblivious of the slowly dragging moments.
Others pull out watches for frequent con-
sideration, shuttle feet, and take an affec-
tionate, mournful and fond look at a furtiyc
cigar, which can be of no possible present
use. Others with an enviable forethought
draw from the depths of coat pockets the
daily newspapers, and studiously apply
themselves to the contents, to the manifest
envy of that improvident class who are
obliged to fall back upon the unsatisfacto-
ry employment of twiddlins their fdgety
thumbs.
As for the ladies, bless 'em ! they are
never at a loss. Are there not gloves to
pull off, to show a diamond ring to adTan-
tage, and glistening bracelets to settle, and
the last finishing polish to put upon hair
already groomed to the satin smoothness
of q respectable hair sofa This duty
done, the first bonnet within range passes
under the inspection of an inexorable mar
tinct: "Did she make it herself, or is it
the work of milliner? Docs her hair
curl naturally, or does she curl it Is her
collar real lace, or is it only imitation F"
These professional detective queries SO
amusing to the female mind, while away
the time edifyingly, especially when there
is variety Of heads within eye-range for
minute inspection.

"BLUE" WHITE LETTER PApER.-The
practice of blueing the paper pulp had its
origin in a singularly accidental circum-
stance, which not merely as historical
fact, but as forming an amusing anecdote,
is perhaps worth mentioning. 1t occurred
about the year 100 at paper mill belong
ing to a Mr.. Buttonshaw, whose wife on
the occasion in question, was superintend-
ing the washing of some linen, when acci-
dentally she dropped her bag of powdered
blue into the midst of some pulp, in for
ward state of preparation, and SO great
was the fear she entertained of the mischief
she had done, seeing the blue rapidly
amalgamated with the pulp, that allusion
to it was studiously avoided; until Mr.,
Buttonshaw's inquiry in great astonish-
ment what it was that had impaired the
peculiar color to the pulp, his wife perceiy-
ing that no great damage had been done,
took courage and at once disclosed the Sc
cret, for which she was afterwards reward
ed in remarkable manner by her husband
who being naturally pleased with an ad-
vance of so much Us four shilings per
bundle, upon submitting the improved "
make to the London market, Immediately
presented a costly scarlet cloak (something
moro congenial to taste in those days, it is
presumed, than it would be now,) with
much satisfaction to the sharer of his joys.

FINE SAYISGs.-We do not believe that
Caesar ever said to the people in the boat:
Don't fear, you carry Caesar and his for
tunes" We don't believe Henry w, ever
bid his soldiers look to the white panaehe
in his helmet, il the royal ensign should be
beaten down in the melee. 1t has been shown
that General Dessaix, dying at Marengo5
never sent the first Consul the message that
he regretted he could live no longer to serve
him and France. Writers have talked a
great deal Of Wcllington's-" Up Guards
and at them /" The Duke never said any
such words. He was never given to the
heroics, IN speech. When asked about it,
he said; "1nevcr could have said any such
thing. I remember very well made them
lie down for shelter behind rising mound,
and, by that means saved many Of their lives;
but 'up, boys and at them ! is all nonsense !"
Never, for an instant, in fact, did the breath
of poetry rest on the cold steel of his nature.
The tho't OF Waterloo did not warm him.
When asked for some facts in regard TO IL,
he said TO historian, that SO many in the
army had behaved so i'll, during the battle.
the truth could not be told! TO return to
the sayings Lord Brougham denies he
ever used the words, the SchoolmasteT Is
abroad" He certainly expressed the mean
ing; but it was the reporter, or an editor,
who shaped the phrase. We are not sure
that General Taylor said: "a little more
grape Captain Bragg All such aptitudes
and patnesses of history are generally after-
thoughts, or embellishments Of the facts.

PnIM PEopLE.-There is set Of people
whom can not bear-the pinks Of FASH
ionable propriety-whose every word is pre-
else, and whose every movement is unexcep-
tionable; but who, though well vcrsed in all
the categories Of polite behavior, have not
particle Of soul or cordiality about them
We allow that their manners may be abun-
dainty correct. There may be elegance in
every gesture, and gracefulness in every po-
sition, not a smile out of place, and not a
step that would not bear the measurement Of
the closest scrutiny. This is all very fne !;
but what want is the heart in the gaiety Of
social intercourse-the frankness that spreads
case and animation-the eye that speaks sffa-
bility to all, that chases timidity from every
bosom, and tells every man in the company
to be confident and happy. This is what I
conceive to be the virtue OF the text, and not
the sickening formality of those who walk by
rule, and would reduce the whole Of human
life to n wire-bound system Of misery and
constraint.-Dr. Chalmers.
