Z T NO AGE.

A writer says: History is full Of
the accounts of the Vaccinations of
women who were no longer young.
Thus Pericles welded Aspasia
when she was t~hirty-six, and yet she
afterward, for thirty years or more.
welded an undiminished reputation for
beauty. Cleopatra was past thirty
when Antony fell under her spell,
which never lessened IN til her death,
nearly ten years after, and Livia was
thirty-three when she o the heart of
Augustus, over whom she maintained
her ascendency to the last. Turning to.
more modern history, where it is posi-
BILE to verify dates more accurately, We,
have the extraordinary Diane de,
Poitiers. who was thirty-si1 when Henry
II. (then Duke of Orleans and just half
her age) became attached to her ; and
she was held as the first lady and most.
beautiful woman at court, up to the,
period of the monarch's death, and of
the accession to power of Catherine of
| Medicis. Anne Of austria was thirty
| eight when she was described as the
h~andsomest Queen of Europe, and
when Buckingham ann Richelieu we're
her jealous admirers. Ninon de,
PEnclos. the most celebrated wit and
beauty of her day, was the idol of three
generations of the golden youth OF
France, and she was seventy-two when
the Able de Bernis fell in love with
her. True it is that in the case of this
lady a rare combination of culture,
talents and personal attractions en-
dowed their possessor seemingly with
the gifts of eternal youth. Blanca
Capello was t~hirty-eight when the Grand
Duke Francisco of Florence fell cap
tive to her charms and made her iswife
though he was five years her junior.
Louis XIV. welded Nine. de Main
tenon when she wa forty-three years of
age. Catherine ii. of Russia was thirty
three when she seized the Empire Of
Russia and c~aptivated the dashing
young Gen. Orloff. Up to the time OF
her death (at sixty-seven) she seems to
have retained the same bewitching
powers, for the lamentations were
heartfelt among all those who had ever
known her personally. Mile. Mars, tine
celebrated French tragedienne, only
attained the zenith of her beauty and
power between forty and forty-hye. At
that period the loneliness of her hands
and arms especially were celebrated
throughout Europe. The famous Nine.
Recamier was thirty-eight when Barras
was busted from power, and she was,
without dispute, declared to be the
most beautiful woman in Europe, which
rank she held for fifteen years"

It seems that Mr.. Mullett has been in the
