A NOVEL DY GEN. GARIBALD1-Having
temporarily laid aside his sword. the rcd
shirted General has taken up tho pen,
and furnished tho world with novel
which may be termed historical: "rhe
Rnlo of tho Mask; or Rome in the Nine
teenth Century" The translator says:
''The authors desire to portray the
state of society in Rome and around it,
during the last years of the Papncy, hus
been paramount, aud the narrative only
serves as the form for this design. Ac-
| cordiugly, the reader must not expect an
elnborately compiled plot, with artistic
Developments. He will, nevertheless, be
sincerely interested in the fortunes and
the fate Of the beautiful and virtuous
Roman ladies' who figure in the tale-of
the gallant aud dashing brisand or the
! Campagna, Ornzio-the handsome NInzio
the brave and faithful Attiio, and The
authors evident favorite, English Jnlin, >
whose share In the story enables our re-
nowned author to exhibit his excessive
affection for England aud the Euglisl,
people. 1t only remains to commend
these various heroes and heroines to the
public, with the remark TINT the de-
iiciencies of the work are duo rather to
the translation tim to the original; for
the vlgor and charm Of the great Libe-
rator's Italian is such rs to show that he
might have rivalled Mnnzoni and Aliieri,
| 1t he had not preferred to emulate and
equal tho Grncchi and Rienzi."
HINTS TO LADIES. If you dance we'll,
dance but seldom.
If you dance ill, never dance at all.
IT ycu sing well, nuke no puerie ex-
cuses.
If you sing indinerently, hcsitnte not
a moment when you arc asked, for few
persons are competent judges of singing,
but every one Is sensible Of desire to
please.
Ii in conversation you think per.
sou wrong, rather hint difference of
opinion than offer contradiction.
1t is always in your power to make n
friend by smiles; what folly to make enc
mics by frowns!
When you have an opportunity to
praise, do it with all your heart.
When yon are forced to blame, do il
with reluctance.
If yon are crvions Of another woman,
never show it bnt by allowing her every
good quality and perfection, except those
which she already possesses.
If you wish to let tho world know you
are i'll love with Il particular man, treat
him with fOrmality, and every one else
with ease and freedom
If you nre disposed to be pettish or
| y
hnmor on yonr dog, your cat, or servant
than on your friend.
If you would preserve beauty, rise
early.
If yon would preserve esteem, be gen
| tie.
If you would obtain power, be condo
scending.
