The Ancients on Beauty.

Socrates called beauty a brief tyran-
ny. Plato called it privilege of na-
ture. Theophrastus, a silent cheat,
and Aristotle affirmed that it was bet
ter than all the letters OF recommended
ton in the world. Since the time of
Esther beauty has had its potent sway
and charm and value Dean Swift
proposes to tax female charms, leaving
each woman to place a valuation on
her own attractions. Lord Bacon said
that the best part of beauty is never
painted or expressed in a picture with
us the standard of beauty differs toto
carlo from the ideal of other countries
and races. The Chinese admire black
teeth and painted eyelids. On the
shores of the Mediterranean great cor
pulency is preferred. Hair like
wheat the "honey- -cOlored hair" of
Homer is the most affected of late
among us. Brown in shadow, gold In
sum-" is a beautiful shade. but Eliza
beth's bright red hair, "capellid' Or"
as she called it, was inspiration to sy-
cophant pens in her time, and even
lovely Mary of Scots sacrificed her
beautiful dark locks to the"red fronts"
Cleopatra, Lady Macbeth, and the
much maligned, beautiful and noble
Lucretla BOrgla had hair light and
golden. Leigh Hunt, who said many
wise things concerning female beauty,
dress, etc, and who regarded the lips
as expressing character as fully as the
eyes, declared that beauty was too Of
ten sacrificed to fashion. "The spirit
of fashion is not beautiful, but wilful
not graceful, but fantastic: not supe-
rior, but vulgar" Jeremy TAYLOR
called woman "tbe precious porcelain
of human clay" Aytoun says "a pref
ty wOman's work in the world, making
life summer by look which tells of a
large heart and all the gentleness of

MarkeG-day I'm Brittany.

Next day was market day. 1t was
touching to hear the Gathering of sa-
bots on the cathedral pavement, and
see, one after another, some rough-look-
ing, long-haired peasant farmers or
market women deposit their huge
baskets on the floor, and meekly kneel-
ing on their knees, pray reverently TO
their favorite saint. There is evidently
fervent piety here, in spite of what l
heard the other day from landed pro-
prietor of La Vendee. "The French
peasants are no longer what they were,
he said to me. ''The Vendeans are now
as ardent Republicans as before they
were Royalists, and they distrust and
dislike the priests. But in Brittany
changes work slowly, and nowhere else
do you see so many priests, nuns,
churches. and religious institutions.
The market-place was an animating
sight. So crowded were the hdlles
with venders of eggs, poultry, butter,
vegetables, flour, fish, &c, that L could
hardly get from one end to the other.
Corn, flour, and other country produce
are here brought to market and sold
in small quantities, much talking and
banter going on all the time. Any
thing less like an English market-day
cannot be conceived. Here We're cos
tunes from all parts; the blue vests and
jackets of the men, braided with gold,
blue trousers, and broad felt hats with
hanging ends predominating. Some of
the women wore high coal-scuttle
shaped hats of white muslin with fly
ing ends, pretty ruffs round the neck,
breastplates bordered with gold braid,
black dresses, white chemisettes, and
gay violet, red, or even orange aprons.
The true Breton breek or brogue is
getting rarer and rarer, and is seldom
seen even on the very old men; but it
will be long before uniformity in cos
tune reigns here. Many articles of
wearing apparel, notably those gayly
embroidered vests both of men and wo-
men, were exposed for sale in the
square behind the cathedral. OF sabots
there was a goodly display; also of
those comfortable and even elegant
white flannel hoods worn by the wo-
men in bad weather. The younger
women wore the prettiest semi-Eliza-
bethan frills, so arranged as TO be very
high and full at the back, and display
ing the front of the throat. Quimper
is noted for its pottery, and a gayer
display cannot be imagined than the
piles of plates and dishes, all painted
by hand, with naive designs of birds
and flowers in bright colors. These
are sold at penny, or two pence a
piece, yet skillful artist may gain five
francs day by this rustic art When a
shower of rain came on, red blue, and
green umbrellas were spread, the wo-
men put on cloaks and hoods, the men
coats of sheep or goat skin, and busi-
ness went on as usual.-FraSer'S ADgd-
zine.

Customs OF the Khyenxs.

The Khyengs, a semi-nomadic race
who inhabit the billy district of Bur-
NAH, locate themselves on forest land,
cultivate its life out of it, and then emf
CRATE to another place. Most of their
marriages are with relatives, especially
with cousins. The wedding day is fixed
in each case by the inspection of the
liver Of a newly-slaughtered pig. If
this displays any unusual marks, the
wedding is postponed, and if on three
trials the auguries are bad the match Is
broken of. A widow can marry no
one but her husbands brother. AT
death bodies are carried to the funeral
pyre, with live fowl attached to the
toe, and both are burned together, the
Office of the fowl being to keep of a
lizard that is supposed to infest the
road Of the Khyeng paradise. The
tribes have tradition that the earth
brought forth the first woman, and that
she laid hundred eggs, which she
warmed in cotton, and that nence came
the progenitors of different races of men.

However familiar this title may be
to European ears, its real meaning and
derivation are scarcely familiar to the
'erudite few The word itself is
compounded of the Persian "pai shah"
or the shah's foot, and is a standing
memorial of the designation which, ac-
cording to XenOphon, Cyrus bestowed
on his officers of state calling them
his feet. hands, eyes and ears. Those
entrusted with domestic affairs were
styled ''the eyes :" the secret emissary
was termed ''the ear; the tax gatherer
"the hands )" the warrior ''the foot -
and the judge, as mOuth-piece of the
law, ''the tongue of equity Of SO re-
mote an institution as this is the name
of the present Turkish pashas, who, in
their several capacities of governor,
general. and vizier or minister, are ap-
pOsitely styled the "feet of their mas
ter"

DR.. sehe.eh,. standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases
Of the lungs are SCHENCK's PULNoNIC
SYRUP, SCHEScK's SEA WEED Tonic,
and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS, and,
if taken before the lungs are destroyed,
a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DIR. j. II.
Sehenck, of Philadelphia, owes his un-
rivalled success in the treatment of pull
monary diseases. 1s- ....
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
1t of by an easy expectoratien, for when
the phlegm or, matter is ripe a slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all distractions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
stimulant and Alternative; the alkali of
which it is composed, mixes with the
food and prevents souring. 1t assists
the digestion by tening up the stomach
to a healthy condition, so that the food
and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa
tient will surely get well if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold. ----
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal Office, corner of Sixth

artificial Butter in CopenhdJen.It
seems that our friends in Northern Eu-
rope are not to be Outdone in the but
ter market by the French nor ourselves; !;
and one of them, named DideTichsen,
has devised a new method of making
suet butter, which differs in some of
its details from that employed in this
city some two years since. The suet is
first washed in cold water, and cut up
in fine pieces, then it is placed In wood
en- vessels and melted by aid of steam
heat. About l per cent of soda, dis
solved in some water, is added to the
melted fat, which is cooked for few
hours. Fresh soda is added, and the
boiling repeated, after which. the mass
is washed with boiling water and
pressed through flannel. To this mass.
while still warm, but not above 140
deg. Fab, per cent of olive oil is ad-
ded, and 3 or per cent Of sour milk,
and the whole is then churned.
