Englishmen generally express their wonder at thc freedom from restraint permitted to young ladies in this country, and deprecate its influence on the young ladies themselves and cn the family ?lrch?. Tbc following paragraphs from the Boston ileview show the difference in this respect between the English, and Ameran fami lies : lt is a marked feature of social life in England,, and certainly one of its espe cial chinns, ?hat mothers and daughters ?re so uniformly seen together at their own home. Not only is the mother Hie firs*; lady to whom you are in'vod^cd at thc house where you visit, but mistress of th? ceremonies throughout; not only docs she preside at tho dinner-table, bu1 in the evening party she sits as queen. Whatever nny be your first impressions of such an arrangement, if it happen? that your sympathies are with the younger ladies, you will very soon come to thin! that the moil er's absence would bc sin. ccrely regretted by thc daughter?. As picture, all must admit the arrangement to be perfect; The portly form and mat ro dy dignity of the mother are an ex quisite foil to the youthful beauty and maiden co; ness of the daughters. And you will find nothing to mar, but ever, thing to enhance thc interest of the. pie ture. The mother's presence never seems to operate as an unwelcome restraint. Between her and the daughters you will not fail to mark the most joyous, playful, loving freedom, without the sacrifice of a tittle of parental dignity and authorit) on the one l*md, or of sweet and graceful flli'ilduty on the other. It may be said bf English familes generally that these tivc things tire eminently characteristic, to wit, uniform parental authority, and the most charming freedom of intercourse between parents and their children. 3 You cannot visit an English family in a familiar way without discovering. whai will possibly surprise you, that a deep dislike of ceremony and state is a malic ed characteristic of an English woman. This feeling is strongest with those highes! in rank, and has been a marked feature in the character of the Queen herself from her very girlhood. Now that sin is a lone widow so prematurely, and her child'en are growing to the stature ol manhood and womanhood, and leaving their home forever, how delightful to re call the sweet piotwres of her early mar ried life, when she so much .loved to saunter, with her noble and good husband, over the beach near their beautiful house in the Isle of Wight, and to watch those tien little children as they amused the rn salves with trying to .find two little peb bles of the same shape, or dug wells in the sand with their tiny wooden spade-. Was .-he not a great deal happier ami. those sweet, domestic scent's than when surrounded hy glittering nobility on grand state occasions? Truth Stranger than Fiction. The p*st history of the families of Louis'Napolcon and the Sultan of Tur key is full of interesting and marvellous incidents, some of which are probably not generally known to our readers: These two monarchs, a few years ago, so cordially united in the struggle u> maintain thc integrity of the Ottoman Empire, arc both descendants of Ameri can ladies; the one a grandson, ihe othei a great grandson. 'These ladies were born in the same neighborhood, on the Island of Martinique, one of thc West Indies. They were of French origin, and companions a:;d Ultimate friends in their childhood and youth. They were Jo sephine de Tai cher and a Miss S-. The history of Josephine is generally known. She wcut to France, and was married to M. de Beauharnais, by whom she had a Eon, Eug?ne, and a daughter, Hortense. Some time after the death cf Beauharnais, Josephine was married to Napoleon Bonaparte, and became. Em press of France. Her daughter, Hor tense, was married to Louis Bonaparte, then King of Holland ; and the present Empferor of France is her son by this marriage. Dut now for the romance of the affair. Josephine's bosom friend quitted the Is land of Martinique sometime before she did. But the vessel that was carrying her to France was attacked and taken by Algerinc corsairs, and the crew and pas sengers made prisoners, but the corsair ship was, in turn, attacked and pillaged by Tunis pirates, and Mis3 S., was car ried by them to Constantinople, and of fered for sale as a slave. Her extraordi nary beauty and accomplishments found her a purchaser in thc Sultan himself, and she soon became the chief lady in his seraglio, and Sultaness of Turkey. Mah moud Ii. was her son ; Abdul Mcdjid wad the son of Mahmoud ; and the present Sultan, Abdul Aziz Khan is the grandson of Mahmoud. * ' Thus the two sovereigns who now oc cupy so large a spaco in the world's eye arc descended from two American creole girls, who were piaymtaes in their youth, and as remarkable for their beautv and excellent dispositions as for their varied and singular fortunes. Both these wo men, tn the height of their power, re membered the- friends- of theil* youth, and provided munificently for their wel fare. Many of the relative., of the Sul taness left the Island of Martinique and settled at' Constantinople, wiierc their de scendants still resnde, and enjoy tho favor' of the^ Sultan. The Sultaness died in 1811 ; the Em press Joseghjpe jp, 18^4; jjg ; .
