they do play it, with all that inesse, that esprit,
seen only on the stage of the Theater Francois.
One word sufices for the fashions-extrava-
gance, IN all its signihcaton-in all its phases.
The vatican style is the vogue now. Take up
your grandmother's old cups and saucers, not
the common ones, 6e but those precious we'd
ding gifts hid away In the china closet, and
who crowd the streets, throng the churches ami
compose the society of the grand balls to-day.
Fabrics all bundled up In knots about the hips
and wsist-red with blue, yellow with black
lace and flowers and ribbons beginning but never
ending. Skirts to the ankles, without petticosts,
and boots that look like the shoes Queen Eliza
beth wore; stockings striped in different colors
are worn, too, because they tell OF the spring
and country excursions. The evening dresses
have become singularly indecent. The corssge
is cut square, high on the shoulders $50 as 10
leave the arm bare above the shoulder) and
very low in front. There is no sleeve at ala
small band Of ribbon, a lace about an inch wide
passes over the arm and is tied on the shoulder Ia
q miniature bow knot. Yet why do we insist
upon being shocked at these fashions? Why do
we bush when our eyes wander over the boxes
at the Opera, or the dvans and Conservatives at
a ball? Do our grandmothers not appear thus in
their portraits? Do we not search there in vain
for modest sleeve, and do we not see the rose or
the bunch of violets placed on their bosom Just
we see them now? Granted-but those were old
times-and time hallows all things, you know. So
much SO, that the rose on our grandmother's
breast, in the portrait hanging in the hall, does
dot say the same thing that the roses do nova
days. giving out their soft odors on the breast OF
the blonde and the bruno of eighteen. Our grand
fathers are not here to tell US what they thought
Of the fashion-but il is more admired in the por
tfaits of the wall than when worn by our mothers,
wives and sisters. VISTA.

A WORD TO THE WISE, ErC.-Where to buy
groceries to the best advantage is a matter Of
serious interest to sl heads of families in these
hard times. To all such, and especially those
living in the Fourth District and the lower part of
Jefferson City, we would cordially commend the
establishment Of our enterprising young friend,
Mr.. 8. Marshall, who now holds forth at hs new
store, s3l Magazine street, and where, as will be
seen by his card in another column, he offers his
choice family groceries to his friends and the pub
lie upon the most reasonable terms. He buys
from first hands and believes in the old adage of
quick sales and small profits. Take our word for
it be keeps the best of everything in this line
give him q call.

HOMEMADE YEAST,

FOR the Sunday Crescent
Perhaps among your numerous readers there
may be some who, like myself, are fond Of home
made bread, and who also may not be aware OF
an extremely easy way of making yeast cakes,
and would like the recipe. 1t is quite a new
thing to me, and am an old housekeeper.
Take three good handfus of fresh hops and
put into three pints Of clear cold water, in a nice
clean saucepan that is not greasy inside; put over
a brisk fire. and boil down to a good quart; strain
this tea, scalding hot, on to enough sifted corn
meal 10 make thick batter, like muffin halter,
and set it to rise; if made at night will
he light in the morning. Do not add anything TO
1t whatever. When perfectly light stir in sifted
-four until stiff enough to roll out thin. cut into
small pieces and dry in the open air; the sun will
not burt it turn the cakes frequently, that they
may dry evenly. The fact that there is no yeast
added to this TO start it is the part that aud
every one mention it to find strange / can fully
recommend it, having given it full and fair trial

For the New Orleans Sunday CrescentJ
The stars have eyes that sparkle at night,
But lips have they none like thine;
Then why should linger when stars are bright;
Shall sorrow in gazing be gilt with delight,
Or love live again in their CLEAN!
The wine-cup's lips are dewy and red,
But dumb in their beauty they;
Then why should the drops that the graps has
bled
Be chrism Of power to waken the dead,
Oldyears and the joys that dream!
And lips know as red as the wine
That whisper, and smile and sigh;
And eyes that are brighter than starry shine,
With tokens of love when the eyes meet mine,
If tokens be what they seem.
Ay! soft no doubt the glancing Of eyes,
And lips that are dimpled are dear;
But love will keep faith though the years be lies,
And love is a spirit when the loved one dies,
And mstcheth with constancy.

SUNDAY MORNING, MAY a. 1858.

We call the attention Of every prudent man
who reads these columns to the advertisement, ia
today's issue, of the Piedmont Real Estate Insu-
rance Company of Virginia. This is a young
and vigorous Southern life insurance company
whose success is not only established, but has
even gone beyond the most sanguine anticipa-
tons of its founders.
Among the names Of its officers will be found
some of those best known in Virginia as men of
large business capacity, great experience, and
strict integrity. All investments are secured
upon real estate, first lien thus giving the most
ample guarantee of safety.
Life insurance Is ssubject which can never be too
often or too earnestly urged upon the attention Of
the public. Indeed the fact that life insurance com.
panes are obliged to employ agents at all for par
poses of solicitation is a remarkable proof of the
carelessness concerning the future, which seems
inherent in human nature, and which is such an
enemy to the moral as well as the material good
Of mankind. When we consider the advantages
offered by the system, ii is astonishing that any
man, and especially one with dependent family
can hesitate about svailing himself of its benefits.
For sum which, il not so expended, would dis
appear and never be accounted for at all, the
father, the husband, the son, or the brother may
make provision for the future, and, humanely
speaking, render that certain which would other
wise be involved in the graVest obscurity. To
those so unfortunate as to be destitute of any Of
these "anchors of life," by means of an endow-
ment policy, life insurance presents an opportu-
nifty of laying up certain store against the night
of accident, ill-heslth or old age, and Of becom.
ing in this way the benehciaries of their own
foresight.
For information regarding rates, plans OF insu-
rance, etc., our readers are referred to the gene
raj agent of the company, General Dabney II.
Maury, and to Major F. II. Wigfsll, the local
agent, at the New Orleans Office, "a Union street.

The SATISFACTION IN HAVING GOOD PICTURE
In contemplation of the photographers produc-
tions, one might apty exclaim of them did the
poet Of letters, that they invented for "some
wretch's aid, some absent lover or some captive
maid" so often do they prove a solsce to the
afflicted, or to those who, bound by the tenderest
ties of affection. are still severed by the chances
and changes Of life, or the frowns of fortune.
There are reasons why these admirable works of
art should be constantly sought by every indi.
yidual. Time is always working his changes, and
the picture which was perfectly correct last year
is not satisfactory this for the cause that another
twelve months have brought their joys and sor.
rows to leave their impress on the features. For
whatever purpose they may be desired, whether
to embalm some pleasant memory, as a token Of
affection or tribute to vanity, as a souvenir or
an envoi, nowhere can a more speaking" like.
