From Nodh's Tunes and Messenger We
clip the following questions and an
sWers:
QUEsTIoS.-Tam am in love with a young
lady is engaged. I have known
her for a year or SO; have seen her not a
great many times, yet sufficiently to
form an opinion Of her disposition, &c.
She lives some distance out of town.
On my visiting this summer the neigh-
borhood in which she resides, I of
course met her, and was invited to call
on her. The. whispers OF her engage
ment had reached me, but knowing
that often they have no real foundation,
determined to find out the true state
OF affairs. was very attentive; we
took evening walks, read poetry, and
played and sang together. I received
no direct intimation that she was en-
gagged, though from slips of conversa-
ton 1 began TO be fearful that such was
the case. I had been there week, but
as yet had seen nothing of her afii-
anced. However, to Danish all doubts
in regard to the matter, one evening
asked her plainly if the reports had
heard were true. She replied, after
she loved the gentleman; she replied in
the Affirmative, but looked at me so
tenderly and pressed my hand, that
thought I did not hear Alright. On re-
peatlng the question received the
same reply, alsothat same pressure and
tender look. I could hardly believe it.
I could not stay longer under such cir
cumstaneesi and took my departure.
But before leaving 1 must tell you-you
may think Il strange-I asked her If
she liked me; If she loved me. In re-
ply i received "Yes, - and-but I re-
frain. I was assured IL there was any
hope for me should be informed. She

pure, though from the above some
would doubt It. If you looked into
those clear calm eyes you would agree
with me. desire to know what YOU
think of my hopes. wish to do Moth
ing wrong, and I am sure she does not.
1 have thought her love for me was
perhaps the impulse of the moment,
rather than a strong, deep love. What
do you think?
| AHSswER.-We think the lady is a
dtrt, and has not the kind of heart
that entertains an honest affection for
any man. Her conduct ought to con-
vince you that, how ever pure she NAV
be in certain sense, she is without
strict moral principles, for in receiving
your attentions she was deGeiving eth
er you or her JIGIlee, and perhaps was
treating both 20 a game Of dissimula-
tton. When one so young can deceive
50 readily, what may be expected of her
y
should engage to wed one whom she
does not love. Ifshe loves the one she
Is engaged to marry, she enaCtS q part
that no really pure and honorable mind
could endure when she diFts with anO-
ther gentleman, walks or rides with
him alone, or receives from him such
attentions as she can only in honor re-
ceive from her Gqnee. She may seem to
be all that is modest and estimable, but
her moral nature must be corrupt, and
no man of sense can unite himself to
such duplicity without just apprehen-
sions for his future. No doubt her
"calm clear eYeSn were eloquent enough
to convince an enamOred person, like
yourself, of anything; but their very
calmneSs, when she told you that she
loved you, (after weeks dirtation!l
and yet loved and was engaged TO ano-
ther, should have taught you the fatal
facility" with which She could play the
traitress and yet see in it no criminals
ty. We pity the man who may yet call
her his wife.
QUESIoN-How is the best mode for
a lady to treat gentleman who has
been negligent in calling, nay, even
seeming averSe to do so, affer having
asked permission that he might cali,
and receiving polite Invitation to do
so? Should she cut him in the street
when they meet?"......If the skin be
coarse In texture, It is because nature
has made it 80, and art Is helpless in a
condition of that character. The use of
glycerine and other emolients may soft
en- the skin, bot they cannot change its
texture.
AEswER-of course you must not
'fcut'' him. That would prove at once
how much his slight had touched your
feelings, and II is not wise, to exhibit
sores TO those who may secretly rejoice
In having 0ccaSiOued them. It will be
more judiciOus to treat him, when you
meet, as IL you had forgotten that you
had ever invited him to caII-as II, in
fact, the invitation had been only given
as matter of courtesy and not as a
matter oftnclinati0n on your part. As
to your other inquiries, we consider the
articles alluded 10 of little value.
No doubt Won viii con-
slider my question avery silly one but,
nevertheless, please to answer it satis-
factorily. want a depilatoEy to take
hair on my arms. Do you know of
any? My arms are very pFattily
shaped, and would be very white If #
were not for so much hair on them. I
have always been unable to wear short
sleeves to evening parties for this
reason. Please do tell me of something
to remove them, and I will be thou.
sand times obliged to you."
ANSWER.-We know of nothing bet
ter than Gourand's "POudaF Subtile''
for the purpose. Nature Is a yeFy
capEieious and decided individual. She
removes the hair Of some people and
gives supeEduous hair to other people,
apparently without much reason; but
when she does either she Is not easily
defeated In her object by art or thWarted
by science.
