TIE FAsH1oNs FOB JuNE.-These are 30 strange,
startling and striking, that we have been tempted
to devote few lines to the subject, and to hold the
mirror up to nature, or in other words, to give the
fair sex an opportunity Of seeing themselves as
others see them.
Having nsver been any further in millinery
shop than the outside, and knowing but little OF
the parsphernalia necessary to create frst-class
belle, our criticisms will be somewhat original, as
our opinions arc formed only from casual obser-
vstou Of tho ladies' magazines, and Of the angels
themselves. King street is decidedly the best
point for critic to vist and glance at the sweet
faces seen ON that promenade would make the
most inyeterate bachelor sigh over his wretohed
lot, and he would forget riliners' bills and similar
items in his admiration.
To describe the fair creatures is difficult task,
as they WELD magician's wand and can make
themselves appear attractive in spite of the fashion,
The imperious Queen, whose. headquarters are
supposed to be at Paris, is despotic in her sway
and changesble in her whims, rushing often
from one extreme to another. Crinoine has now
received its death blow, and in the place Of full
akirts that once kept the beaux within haing dis
tance, we now see churn-hke forms, the latest
fashim being an approach to the style worn by
our forenothers.
The walking dresses are decidedly unique, and
are only sensible in one respect, that there is
small saving in thu cloth. They are ugly imita-
toas Of 9 Swiss PEASANTS dress, and afford an
abundant opportunity for the display-of pretty
CATERS But these are designed only for the street;
the full evening dress being precisely the REVERSE
and having trail extending from three to five
feet from the point where the dress touches tho
gound, which proves very effectual in keeping ad-
mirers at q distance.
The bonnet has degenerated so much In size,
and the hair has risen in such abundance around
it, that to obtain full view Of the curiosity it is
necessary to be above it, or it is invisible or all
the freaks of fashion, the widest has been the In
yention Of the modern bonnet, which bears no re-
eemblance to those worn but few years back.
They are Of all shapes, from soup plate and door
mat to side saddle, and are, notwithstanding
their diminutive size, the dearest things We ever
saw. The latest thing in this line is styled the
ssmarmaid's JOY" and consists of straw concern
OF the size and shape Of good oyster SHE'LL allow
ING a waterfall almost as high as Niagara to fall
frnu behind while little cascades wend their way
,b ,ut the ears and neck in delightful confusion.
II would be herculean effort to continue the
subiect as the powers ofrhetoric would be exhaust
ed before the task was completed; and We advise
an who wish to fill up the hiatus to visit King
street or the Battery, and they will find abundant
bod for reflection.

A Queer Courtship.

In small country town in Hartford County, Connecticut, widower who had acted the part of a brute and ty- rant to his wife, went shortly after the demise of his wife to pay his respects to a buxom widow, who like her suitor had not the best reputation for suavity of manners and meekness of temper.- The following coloquy ensued:
 "Wcll, madam, I have come to see you.'
 "Wcll, you may just clear out again, for III have nothing to do with you I You needn't think to get me, sir. You abused and whipped your first wife, and know what kind of a fellow you are. You can bet high on that"
 "Yes, I did; and if I had you I'd make you toe the mark. I'd give you good threshing every time you de- served it, and wouldn't let you vote if every woman in town ran to the polls with ballot in her hand"
 Strange as it may appear, this very loving and romantic couple we're united in the ''holy bonds of padlock," three days aftcrward.

Characteristics of True Gentle man.

In an old manor house in Gloucester shire, England, may be found the fol. lowing sketch or portrait of atrue gen. tleman, written, framed and hung ovei the mantle-piece of a tapestried sitting room:
 "The true gentleman is Gods servant, the worlds master, and his own man virtue is his business, study his recrea- ton, contentment his rest, and happi- ness his reward God is his father, the Church is his mother, the saints are his brethren, all that need him his friends devotionh his chaplain, charity his cham berlain, sobriety his butler, temperance his cook, hospitality his housekeeper, providence his steward, charity his treasurer, piety his mistress of the house, and discretion his porter, to let him in and out.
 Thus his whole family is made up of virtues, and he is true master of the house. He is necessitatcd to take the world on his way to heaven; but he walks through it as fast as he can, and all his business by the way is to make himself and others happy. Take him in two words--a man, d Christian.

Why Women Cannot Enter Masonic
 4 .o,.a Lodges, lE

|
 Frequent complaints are made by la. dies in relation to masonry, and theil principal arguments are, that their hus. bands have no business to do anything that they cannot tell their wivcs--that that which is secret must be wrong ! that it Is only mean excuse, and so on, One branch of the subject seems, how ever, to be capable of legendary expla- nations, and the Norfolk Journal pub fishes thereon the following para graphs: a .psaa
 When King Solomon was still a young man he had married his seventh wife. She was q beautiful young Am monitcss, with locks as black as the ra- ven's wing, and eyes as bright as the eagles. It was believed she was the favored fair one among all the sultans of the great king, for his affections were not divided then us they afterwards be- came. She knew her power, and used | it unsparingly. In addition to her oth- CT qualities she was as inquisitive a creature as ever was woman on earth. W g
 One cycning-King Solomon attended lodge on some grand occasion, and staid out somewhat late. When he re- turned home, he found the fair Ammo nitess in the dumps, and pouting just like the dear wives of Masons some times do now when their lords stay out late ut the lodge. She upbraided him with negfecting her, insinuating that he hadn't been to the lodge as he pre- tended, and insisted that in future he should give proof that he went there by having herself inflated, so that she might go there and watch him.
 Daughter of Ammon," replied the King, thou hast behaved myself as one of the foolish women, in presum- ing to question thy lord and mastcr.- Thou art not so angry with me as thou protendest to be, for the true reason of this behavior is thy unsuitable curiosi- ty, in which thou exccllest Eve herself. Know thou that have ordained that neither thou nor any of tn. inquisitive sex after thee shall ever enter tho por- tals Of d Masonic lodge; but shall en- join the tyler to pierce through with his drawn sword, any woman that shall attempt to, enter q lodge; aye, even thee, Queen of Israel though thou be r And that ordinance of this wisest of monarchs has. continued in force till this day.

Nieknanes.

The day of using nicknames never will diegout, but the custom of chris tening children by nicknames and pei names should be stranglcd in the era lle.
 The rising generation will blush for the sentimental stiffness of their parents who bestowed these names upon them. X writer says:
 Girls, instead of being baptized with such sensible, old fashioned names as Matilda, Charlotte, Margaret, or Sarah, are christened Tildie, Lottie, Maggie, and Sadie. Ellen dwindles into Ellie, Susan shrinks into Sudic, Caroline is made ridiculous by being cut down to Linie, Emma becomes insipid in En- mic, and most wretched of all the beau tiful name of Mary is irittered away in to Mamie.
 The nicknaming would be all very we'll if, in its use, it was confined to the family circle but such names are given permanently to children, and future 
 wives and mothers of the land figure in every advertised list of letters, and ev. cry school examination, as Lidies, Stu. dies, and Sadies.
 Think of the wife and mother of the father of his country, christened by tho names of Mamie and Hattie, and of tn, mother baptizing the future hero and statesman as Georgie! The first Napoleon would have lived a bachelor forever had his first wife been named Josie, and he would not have troubled an Archduchess of Aus tria to take the place of the discarded Empress, had she been named Minnie Louie, instead of the plain and sensible Maria Louisa.

HUMOROUS ScENE.--An aged clergy man speaking of the solemnity attached to the ministerial office, said that du- ring the whole term of forty or fifty years that he had ofiiciated therein, his gravity had never been but once dis turbed ill the pulpit.
 On that occasion, he noticed a man directly in front of him leaning over the railing of the gallery, with some thing in his hand, which he afterwards discovered to be huge chew of tobac- co just taken from his mouth. Direct ly below sat man fast asleep, with his mouth wide open. The man in the gal lery was intensely engaged in raising and lowering his hand, taking an exact observation, till at last, having got it right, he let fall the quid, and it went plump into the mouth of the sleeper below! An involuntary smile forced itself upon the countenance of the min- ister.

sE- A very good widow, who was looked up to by the congregation to which she belonged, as an example of piety, contrived to bring her conscience to terms for one little indulgence. She loved porter, and one day, just as she received half dozen bottles from the man who usually brought her the com- fortable beverage, she Ooh, horror } be- held two of the grave elders of the church approach her door.

The Town and Fortress of Luxem-
 " burg.

In view of the threatened troubles in Europe tho following description ofthe town and fortress of Luxcmburg is oi interest:
 'srhc town of Luxemburg is the cap ital of the Grand Duchy, and has rep utation of being enc of the strongest fortresscs in Europe, second only tc Gibraltar is divided into two quar- ters, the latter of which is two hundred feet higher than the former, resting on solid rocks, and accessible by steps and zig-zag streets. This rocky crest is sur rounded by massive wall, deep ditch es and formidable outworks.
 The Grand Duchy was divided by the treaty oflslf, part of it going to Bel gium, and part, containing the town and fortress, to Holland. This Dutch portion formed the eleventh State of the German Confederation, and the fortress is held by German troops which naturally enough accounts for the op- position offered to thc proposed ces- sion.
 Part oftlis territory was in the hands of the French from 1859 to I'll, and was called French Luxemburg, but in the latter year it passed into the hands of Austria, and was so held until won back by the revolutionary armies oi France, to be lost, as we have stated, by the treaty, oflslI. Owing to the con solitation of Prussia, the Emperor oi France Is anxious to get back this ] stronoholdn

How Sal Disgraced the Family.

A traveller in the State of Illinois, some years ago, came to lone log hut on the prairies, near Cairo, and halted. He went into the house oflogs. It was wretched affair, with an empty box for table, where two or three broken chairs and stools graccd the reception room the dark walls of which were further ornamcnted by display of tin- ware, and broken delf article or two.
 The woman was crying in one cor ner; and the man, with tears in his eyes and pipe in his mouth, sat on a stool, with his dirty arms resting on his knees, and his sorrowful-looking head supported by the palms of his hands. Not a word greeted the interloper, as he entered.
 l Well. he said, ''you seem to be in an awful trouble here. What is the matter P
 "Oh! we arc almost crazy, neigh bor,H said the woman and we aint got no patience to see folks now
 '.That's all right" said the visitor, not taken abck by this polite rebuif, ''but can't be of any service to you in this trouble ?"
 "Well, we've lost our gal. Our Sal's gone of and left us" said the man in despair.
 "Ah, do you know what could have induced her to leave you?" asked the man.
 "Wcll, we can't say, stranger, as how she's so far lost as to be induced but then she's gone and disgraced us, said the father.
 "Yes, ncighbor, and not as I should say it as is her mother, but thar warn't a poortier gal in the West than my Sal she's gone and brought ruin on us, and on her own head" followed the stricken mother.
 "Who has she gone with? 2" asked the visitor.
 Well, there's the trouble. The gal could have done well, and might have married Martin Kehoe, a shoemaker, who, although he's got but one eye, plays on the flute in a lively manner, and earns good living. She was sur- rounded by all the luxury in the coun- try" said the father. l "Yes, who knows what poor Sal will have to eat, drink, or wear now" cried the mother.
 s.Who is the fellow that has taken her from you, to lead her into such mis- cry? ?"
 "Why, she's gone of and got married to critter called an editor, as lives in the village, and the devil knows how they are to earn living"

A WARNING TO EUCHRE PLAYERs.-- A young man in Rochester, who is very fond of playing euchre, and also very fond of the daughter of a pillar of one of the churches, was taking tea at the house of his adofed short time since, and had some fruit cake offered him. Being somewhat confused on account of his situation, as the cake was held out to him, cried out, Il pass" The father hearing him, and having played some himself in his younger days, was horror struck at his infatuatien for the game, and thought he would teach him a lesson. He spoke bluntly:
 "You pass, do you? Then I order you up-there's the door; I'll make 6 march!"
