these whose circumstances unfortunately
compel them to live elsewhere, we would
say., that Jess is the present sheriff of the

"I am happy to find you do," replied
the sheriff', "for since I put on these
blacks I hardly know myself."
Jess is our crack tale-teller, and many
side aches have the boys had from laughing
at his Nubbin Ridge and Sourwood
stories. One of his we will now give,
premising that the gist of the tale consists
in his rich mode of telling it, and
that it must lose much by being read.

Just as the crowd was about to dis- (

Chickasaha was rejoicing in the ownership
of a big, bony, stump tailed cur dog,
sang ftut, "I'll be darned if Cash can t

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

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

A "lone woman" in Cincinnati was lancnting

To Smokeks.?As it is customary with
smokers of all qfasses to relate the news
of tho day wit* cigars in their mouths,
the following system fsVccommendcd,
? i- rr t
U\ Single puu, son us ivi 1\ ti/iiJiiui, Puff,
puff, a semicolon ;
Puff, puff, u colon:
Six puffs, a period.
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

Important Ir> vjcntjon in respect to
the Decorative Arts.?J/iss Wallace,
a lady of fortune, has recently discovered
a mode of gilding and coloring the interior
of tubes of glass, which, when bo
prepared, form a most mngnifioent bending
for the decoration of rooms. Itis also
applied to the framing of pictures with
great success and in a variety of ways, in
connection with decorative art, at once
novel and attractive. Several specimens 1
of this beautiful invention are now exbibi
ted at the Society of Arte, Adolphi.?

Tha Bangor Courier says that during a
thunder shower a few days since, the '
