madam nature has done so much.'
He might we'll say this, for it is only once
in million such beautiful eyes, eye lashes
and brows are given woman. He called
to young lady in the establishment,
and said, "Miss Blank, will you permit
me ?"
She pleasantly assented, and taking u
small ivory tablet he placed it under the
eyelashes Of one eye, and then touching
them dextrously and at the same time with
the most delicate art, he made the lashes
SO decided, so pronounced, they seemed to
actually grow. He then penciled the brow,
and, when done, the effect was most de-
cided. The young lady was a blonde, and
with one eye treated and the other not
treated, the result was very decided.
Certainly this is all, we said.
"Not all. We give delicate tint to the
ear, a rosy, steel color to the nails. We
have powders for the teeth we leave
nothing uncared for that goes to make
perfection of beautiful woman"
"And are these things in general
use?"
Certainly, you cannot find brilliant
complexion that has not been made so by
art. We read with great pleasure of the
beautiful women of the fashionable circles
Of Washington and the summer resorts for

AToo YIrorons NIemorr.

The late DR.. Mercer, though one Of the
the kiDdest and most amiable of gentlemen,
possessed keen and graceful wit by
which he often hit off very happily the
foibles of gentlemen with whom he was
brought in contact. An illustration of this
gift of the good old philanthropist has re-
Gently been related, to the great amuse-
ment o f gentlemen who were familiar with
the characteristics Of the gentleman who
was the object of the doctors railery. It
was during his last illness, when the doctor
was wont to converse very freely with his
old friends, the companions of his early
days. One of these happening to refer
with much feeling and grateful pathos to
the kindness manifested TO him by the
doctor when he, the visitor. was boy, the
old gentleman in feeble voice, remarked ;
"Oh, yes ] remember, D., when
you and your brother George were little
boys, and used to come to see me very
often, and always had Il large, uice apple

A Husband Sold.

Some years since, when all the world was
mad upon lotteries, the cook of middle
aged American single gentleman drew
from his hands her earnings of several years.
Her employer was anxious to know the
cause, and she told him that, having re-
peatedly dreamed that a certain number
was great prize, she had bought the
whole ticket. He called her fool for her
pains, and never lost chance to tease her
on the subject. She seemed to take his
taunts in good humor saying it would turn
out right by and by. One morning he
opened his paper at breakfast, and saw it
announced that the very numbers that
Bridget had dreamed and bought had
drawn the great prize Of hundred thou
sand dollars He therefore determined to
secure wife and fortune at once.-
Bridget was summoned, and the willy gen.
tleman proceeded to inform her that he had
long valued her as friend, and, being de-
sirous to settle himself for life, he would
be willing to make her his wife, if she had
no objection. Bridget had always thought
him dear, good man, and would be glad
to do any thing to please him. So he
finished his breakfast, the parson was sent
for, and made them one on that very morn.
ing. After it was all over, the cautious
husband said to his bride, p" We'll, Bridget,
you have made two good hits to day you
have got good husband, and now bring
me the lottery ticket that you and have
laughed SO much about, and let us SEE
what the number of 1t is" "Please, sir
don't laugh any more about that; knew
there was nothing in them dreams, and
sold it to the butcher month ago."

We are continually hearing of the adj
vantages of advertising, but the disadvan-
tages of that process for making known
ones wants have never been told. l will
give few instances. A friend of mine
was walking through Bond street the other
morning when we came upon crowd Of
over hundred boys standing in front of a
house. They were laughing and scream
ing, and completely blocked up the side
walk. My friend stopping to see what was
going on, and was surprised to see the
door of the house open suddenly and
mans hand thrust out into the crowd, grab
boy, pull him inside and bang the door
shut again. Such singular conduct excited
his curiosity, and on going up to man
who was sitting ON the front steps of the
house, he asked him what was the matter.
"Nothing at all'' said the man, "only
we advertised for four boys in this morn
ing's papers, and early as it is you see the
result" There was nothing left for the
man who wanted the boys to do but to
make his selection from the window, then
grab the boy and pull him in. My friend
told this incident to well-known mer-
chant the other day, who related similar
experience. "Some time ago" said the
merchant, 81 had occasion to advertise for
halfgrown girl to take care of child
stated in my advertisement that the ap-
plicant must call at two o'clock in the af.
ternOon. | went down to my store as
usual, but had not been there over two
hours, when messenger arrived, saying
that must come home Immediately, that
the house was full of girls, and that my
wife had been obliged to call in police
man. Hurrying home, found that not
only the down stairs hall was full, but that
the hall up to the third story were equally
filled with "halfgrown girls" The front
door had been closed upon them, but those
inside took possession Of the house and let
the others in. They would not go, even
when threatened by the officer, and it took
me the whole day to ask them questions
and tell them they would not do" He
finally settled upon girl who came pre-
cisely at two o'clock, and she prov
ed an excellent servant. Two OIL
three winters ago when the times were
hard and the money scarce, a gentleman Of
my acquaintance advertised in New
York paper Cor boy, to whom if he suit
cd, he would pay S. week. Before he
had eaten his breakfast, there was a CROWD
of two or three hundred boys and men, and
even women at his door. The men begged
to be employed, and said they would dC
any kind of work for that money. But al
the gentleman wanted boy whom hi
could teach to sing in a choir, as we'll a
as run of errands, he was obliged to dismis
them.
