THE BLOOM OF BEAUTY.

"Aunt Dora," in The Peoples Magazine,
gives the following good advice TO young
ladies:
"What is best 10 preserve the bloom of
the complexion? Cold mater; the purer,
the colder, the softer, the better. Many
young ladies fancy that water in any shape
is bad for the complexion; and so, between
their native sense of cleanliness, and their
great anxiety to preserve tho beauty Of their
skins, they are sorely puzzled; and have
seen the triumphs of the latter notion-in
very slight but palpable enamel of not quite
inVisible-dirt-faugh! No beauty can be
maintained for any length of time without
health; and I leave you 10 your natural
shrewd sense to determine whether dirt in
any shape can be healthy or attractive.
No woman on record ever preserved her
bloom any longer than the famous or infa-
nous Diane de Poitlers; and the chief secret
of 1t was a copious and thorough ablution
in cold water night and morning all through
the year, with friction atterward. Nothing,
I repeat is better, either for the skin, the
eyes, or the general health, than good
wash in cold water after the iatigues of the
day. In bitterly cold weather the icy cold
ness may be taken of, but warm water is
mistake, especially in cold weather.
If the skin be dry and inclined to chap in
cold or windy weather, it is very easy to
apply little cold cream, well rubbed into
the skin after the nightly washing; or if
those unsightly things, plmples, should ap-
pear under the skin, know of no more
eflcacious remedy than little eau de cologne
and water to bathe them, in the proportion
of teaspoonful of spirit to a wineglass oi
water. But dpropOs OF pimples; they depend
much on the general health; and the young
lady who maintains simple and regular
diet, takes regular exercise keeps regular
hours, and totally eschews tight ldcing, is
seldom or never afflicted thereby.
Only fancy the Misses Dashington. They
had an idea that a pale, sickly languor was

NIAGARA EcLrPsED. astonished tourist
writes to the Frontier Index from the curious
district surrounding the Yellowstone Lake
of Montana:
Near the outskirts of this monstrous local
ity there is lake on the top of the noun
tain that is yet frozen over, the ice and snow
covering its surface some twenty feet deep.
The main forks Of the Yellowstone, one
heading opposite Wind and Green rivers
and the other opposite Henry's Fork of
Snake river, in the same vicinity that the
Madison and Gallatln rise, empty into the
big lake, which las for its outlet the Yellow
stone river, and just below the whole river
falls over the face OF u mountain thousands
of feet, the spray rising several hundred.
A pebble was timed by watch in dropping
from an overhanging crag of one perpen-
dicular fall, and is said to have required
eleven and n half seconds 10 strike the sur
face Of the river below. That beats Niagara
Falls "all hollow" Tho river at these
greatest falls is represented 10 be half as
large as the Missouri at Omaha, and as clear
as crystal. The great lake, like all others
in these mountains, is thick with salmon
trout, OF from five to forty pounds weight,
und where the milky boiling mineral waters
from the geYsers intermingle with the pure
clear water from the running streams, these
elegant fish can be "forked up" by the boat
load.

AIR AND ExERoisE.-Deprive the labor
ing classes of these, and they must go with
out the most precious (and too often the
only) boon of their toilsome lives. Air and
exercise arc indeed the safeguard of all.
Specially are they so 10 those who can com
mand but small freedom and brief leisure.
For instance, the student, the writer, who
sits bent forward hour after hour, can on
temporary change of occupation, vary his
attitude by leaning well back in his chair Or
by standing erect with well expanded chest,
so as not to rob his lungs of their compli-
ment of vital air one moment longer than is
necessary. When, after long sitting, the
circulation becomes torpid and the brain
weary, he can set his window open for a
few minutes, even in mid-winter; and II a
short, brisk walk out of doors during the
interval be impracticablc, let him go through
series of gymnastics, or wrestle with i'm
aginary burglars in his own sanctum, and
he will not find his minutes thrown away.
1t is better for person in health and oil
sedentarY employments to walk in the rain,
rather than not walk at all. "Blue pill,
madam? Stuff and nonsense, madam, You
can't want more blue pill take exercise
madam not blue pill" cried an hones
doctor to a sluggish patient. "Take exer
else. It's only lazy folks who want so muci
blue pill" Which reminds lis of our ole
friend Abernethy, who, after listening to /
long list of ailments detailed by the anxious
mother OF languid daughter, growled on
as he put on his hat and returned a shilling
of the fee, "Buy her a skipping rope"

An Incident Of the War.

During the occupancy Of Brownsville by
the Federal forces. and while Major General
D|was In command at that point, an incl
dent occurred which we cannot refrain from
| telling " as twas told to Us"
1t seems the General had confiscated-to
use polite term-two beautiful, blooded
horses. the property of the Hon. Duncan +.

partiality Of Texans and Mexicahs for fac

announced to the citizens Of that border town
the sale Of these wonderful animals, that
could trot, run, gallop, and get along gener
ally so swiftly. that 10 watch had ever yet
been found fast enough to time them. The
excitement grew to fever heat, extending lar
over into the Mexican country.
At length the day arrived, and with it
came the auction. A motley but numerous
crowd assembled and as the horses, carefully
blanketed and led by grooms, stepped dain
tily to and fro, snuffing with expanded nos
trils the morning air, the expectations Of all
were raised to the highest pitch and fully
realized The animals were very beautiful
indeed as thev stood stripped of their cover
ings, perfect models Of symmetry and grace.
The bidding of course was spirited. and so"n
reached tall figures, bat the auctioneer knew
a thing or two, and in the midst Of the eI-
citement, suddenly ceased his almost unin-
teliigible jargon, and dropping his arm with
an air OF almost supreme disgust. exclaimed

cried the auctioheer, and at the word both
animals darted away like arrows from an
lndi an bow !; and almost sooner than it takes
to tell, the Gathering Of their mailed feet had
died upon the air. and their forms melted into
distance. The auctioneer true to the Instincts

The Fat Man.

1t isn't every day that we encounter a
sketch so amusing as the one subjoined and
where all parties seem to enjoy the joke with
so good a relish. Let the reader peruse for
himself:
Bridget" said a lady in the city of
Gotham one morning, as she was reconnol-
tering in the kitchen, - what a quantity OF
soap grease you have got here. We can get
plenty of soap for it, and we must exchange
it for some. Watch for the fat man, and
when he comes along, tell him | want to
speak to him"
= Yes, num-" said Bridget.
All t1at morning, Bridget, between each
whisk of her disclotb. kept a bright look
out the kitchen window. and No moving
creature escaped her watchful gaze. AT last
her in lustry seemed about to be rewarded,
for down the street came large, portly gen.
tleman, hourishing a cane and looking the
very picture of good humor. Sure, there 5
the fat man now, thought Bridget-and
when he was in front of the house, out she
flew and informed him that her mistress
wished to spake to him.
Speak to me, my good girl ~ req lied the
old gentleman.
- les sir, wants to spake to you, and say,
would you be good enough to walk IN SIR"
lHis request 50 uiTtcl was not 10 Dc Itiurcu'
so in state of some wonderment, up the
steps went the gentleman, and up the stairs
went Bridget, ana knocking at the mistress
door, put her head in and exclaimed
Fat gintlemau' in the parior, mum.
So saying she instantly withdrew to the
lower regions,
I'm the parlor," thought the lady
"What can it mean? Bridget must have
blundered," but down to the parior she
went, and up rose our fat friend, with his
5landest smile and most graceful bow.
Your servant informed me, madam, tha
you like to speak to meat your service,
madam"
The mortified mistress saw the state of the
case Immediately, and smile wreathed
itself about her lips in spite of herself, as
she afterwards said
Will you pardon the terrible blunder Of
a raw Irish girl, my dear sir. | told her tc
call in the fat man to take away the soar
grease, when she saw him, and she has made
a mistake, you see"
The jolly fat gentleman leaned back in his
chair, and laughed such hearty ha ha
ha as never comes from any of your lean
gentry.
No apologies needed madam" said
he.
q 1t is decidedly the best joke of the sea
son. Ila ba ! ha . so she took me for the
soap grease man, did she 1t will keep me
laughing for a month. Such good joke ~
And all up the street and round the corner
was heard the merry ha ha of the old
gentlemen, as he brought down his cane,
every now and then, exclaimed, Such a
