Unpad* sess of Frexcii Beauty.? It is a distinctive peculiarity of the French that they are most constant to trifle If you wish to see the fashionables of twenty years ago, you have only to look for them where they were?in the same boxes nt the theatres, in the same attitudes, and with no apparent change exceot that of the fashions of toilette. Many of the, most splendid women of the epoch of -1- 1 " iwucnuv lviuuio are juri as spienmuiy the belles of the "Prophet" at this moment. Tor twenty years they have successfully maintained their beauty. There Is no art in life so successfully 6tudicd, and practised with fuch universal address, as the art of preserving youth, by the women of Paria. They resist time with skill and courage unfailing. They repair every loss, solder every tlaw, supply every deficiency, show the same undiminished chcvelure, blonde or brown ; have tlie same complexion of lily or rose, the same snow-white and well filled shoulders, the same plump arms, <l>e same waist, supple, round, slender and adorable. The masses of their hair have chanee waves, just as carelessly juvenescent. Their smiles disclose the same two do fading rows of unalterable pearls; and if, perhaps, they do not permit themselves to deccoiletcr with quite as venturesome audacity as in other days, they still dress with apparent unconsciousness of dagger, and sufficiently low for all purposes of bewilderment find fascination. So true is it, that the two things which are said to be the most perishable and fleeting?beauty and fashion?are. in fact, the most solid and least subject to dec ay and revolution! Of the liree present stages of undisputed beau>y in Paris?the beauties in flower, (with 'The Pronhet") in fruit, (with "Ilugue10U") ana in preserves, (with "Robert lo Diable")?one scarce knows which )fFers the greatest temptation.?Ilomc ruurnui. A "lone woman" in Cincinnati was lancnting the departuro of her loving ipouse to "parts not exactly unknown, ' nit next door to it, to a crony the other lay in the following strain : "When (he wnr broke out my ole man rent to Maxico; he got back safe from hat heat with Iuh eighty akers of land in him by oleOineral Taylor that's Pres3ent; 4>e s druiik up the whole on't, an, t hen the gold fevor broko-out!?? or Californcy, and left me to support flic hflder by within' for alivin.* They say he oollery's broke out 'mong the C'aliornieators, and the next -thing I expect '11 hear is that my ole man's gone to a lOtter climate than 'ithcr Maxico or <7i?li-orney ; but I sposc 1 must be resigned."

A pause with a cigar kept in the mouth represents a <lash?longer or shorter in continuance. With the undcrlip, riii.se the cigar almost against the nose for an exclamation! and to express great emotion, oven to the shedding of teal's, only raise, as before, ( the cigar to the end of tho nose. For an '< interrogation it is only necessary to open 1 the lips and draw the cigar round the I ' corner of the mouth. 1 JTaking the ctfcar from the mouth and shaking the ashes from the end, is a con- 1 elusion of a paragraph. And throwing it into the fire, is a final and stylish pause. Never begin a story with a half smoked cigar ; for to light another while conversing, is a breach of politeness. Tim krvtitky Infant.?There is a youth named Ajidrcw II, Brand, living on O r<5en river, near Rumscy, in Davis coun- * ty, Ky., whose description may interest numerous reuuers: lie is n "perfect monster" in size, and is justly entitled to the appelation of the "Kentucky Infant/' being only fifteen years old, five feet three inches high, nnd measures six feet in clrcumfcrence around the waist, three feet six inches around the thigh, two feet six inches around the calf of the leg, two feet two inches around the arm, and weighs five hundred pounds. He is another evidence of the -extreme fertility of the growth of Kentucky, nnd of the luxuriant magnificensc with which she does up things when she tries. IIt is a youth of excellent common sense, and even sprightliness, and nays he thinks of visiting Louisville as soon as the hot senson is over, so as to give the citiwrns an opportunity of looking upon one "whose i:i.? i-ii " tt- ii. imu n?uy win iicvur kuo ugiuii. nc uhukh lie can throw the giant porter in the deep shade.
