A young grass widow, aged 25 years, and ox-spouse of four living husbands, is about to harvest her fifth hay crop in Salt Lake City. Her first husband was a Yankee, her second an Italian, her third a Swiss, her fourth a German, and her prospective fifth is a Polander. The The widow's tastes are truly cosmopoli tain, and she seems ready to take, the world to her glowing and capricious bosom. The Missouri Kopublican says of the jtanio : "We may as woll prepare for n second shook at no very distant day, whether it comes or not; a preparation for it will destroy half its force. The preparation needod is a general payment of debts?nothing more, nothing loss ; and the sooner all classes of individuals resolutely set about this, the bettor it will be for the country." Nothing on earth can smile but bu man beings. Gems may flash reflected light, bat what is a diamond flash compared with an eye flash and mirth flash.

The freedom of our weddod women should be is brond and full as thut of the tttweded. Domesticity should regulate itself. Tho cord of loyalty, binding love can not be stretch ed very fur without breakiug ; and when it breaks, love is released. A man and woman are married to each othor, not to all their acquaintances an 1 ev.'ry cu rinus gossip. It is lair to presume that they know what they wiaUy, and that they can arrange their affuirs w ithout iute. mediation. Tho liberty they nr.) generally willing to give the one to the otbor they are re strained from giving by tho qucstioa of appearances. From this defcrcnoo to the society ihey secretly despise they insure mutnal weariness aur1 dissonanoe, and forego likewise tho satisfaction and advancement they might hnvo gained by taking more personal and spiritual latitude.

There is a climatic in fluence in America which refines features and gives delicacy to tho complexion. This is especially tho case in Louisiana, where finely formed women are often found to be the descendants of ignoble, looking ancestors. The light olive ti ot of the woman seems to have been paint ed over a ground color of blushing lako, aud this pinkish creaminess of the skin saves it from dullness and sallownoss. In a word, there is something of that traaspareoy for whioh painters aro always seeking. She inherits from her mother over the Bea the physical characteristics of round limbs and delicate extremities, with a figure something slighter?another i'fleet of climate, also that sense of art with which the pooplc are born, but can never entirely acquire. From the same source come her coquetry and her grace of speech aud action, but modified. She docs not wear crude oolors or awry shapes; nor does she oxpress herself with unseemly gesture or discordant toues. Her dress is rather sombre than gay, and her carriage simple and conven tional?for they all walk alike. Smooth ness and graceful propriety archers.

It is fishiouable now to have all the maid servants in tho household, to wear aas?, ?rter' the English style. Ladies just from Europe wear their hair very plain and low on the ucck?a style all the isgo in Paris. Fringes are to be very fashionable as trimmings this wiuter. Some of the handsomer sorts are as expensive as fine laces. The war against gilt and imitation jcwelery continues furiously. As a re sult, very little of it is worn by would be fashionable ladies.
