HAvANEsE CUsToMs.-A letter Havana
says: 'The ladies here do not wear anything
on their heads You think at home that our
ladies wear next to nothing, but the bonnet
worn by our party attracted such attention,
because there was anything at all worn, that
the ladies feel it great annoyance to be stared
at, and have taken the veil, which is all that is
worn. The Havana ladies do not come out
till evening, and then come out in their car
riages to the plaza or on the drives, to hear
the music. The children seem growing up
about the street, like weeds by the wayslde,
uncared for and but little observed We no.
ticed them from six months to six years old as
naked as when they came into the world. This
is among the lower classes, but you can see
them at any time of the day on most all OF the
streets of this city, Or standing in the doors
and windows. The natives seem to smoke al
the time They come into the dining room
for breakfast, and the first thing after they sit
down to the table is to take out a cigar, light
it, order the breakfast, smoke ana eat. You
will often see at our first class hotels from
twenty to thirty men sitting at the table smok-
ing, while ladies are sitting at the same table.
| 6ud that Americans pick up the habit quite
readily"

Boast not thy fathers fame-'tis his alone
A bow thou canst not bend is not thine own.
What can buried glory be to thee
By its own force the river gains the sea.
Thy confidence to many shun to give;
Full barns we lock; the empty, open leave
Choose one to trust--more seek not thou
The world, 0 Haitian, knows what three
men know. .-
Praise not the day before the night arrive
Mead till tbs drunk, nor counsel till it thrive s
Youth trusteth soon to many an idle word
Need proves friend, as battle proves u
sword.
Trust not to one nights ice, to spring day
snow,
To serpent slumber, or to maiden's vow;
For heart of woman turneth like q wheel,
And meath the snowy breast doth falsehood
