A Western paper has an article on the ears of idiots." A contemporary says that paper is always dragging family affairs before the publio. A citizen of Rousoville, P., boasts that his village can beat Boston out of sight on crooked streets, end then have ' crook* enough left over to start another town. The abolition of the national banking " sSystem, nnd tbo substitution of tree hanking, with nothing but lognltcndcr circulation, is now attracting some atten tion. y An Iowa paj or proclaims itself an "honest newspapor," and in another paragraph Bays: "When a man pro fesses honesty now n-dujs, keep your eye peeled for a thief." A Parisian, whose wife lately died, imagined himself transformed into a weeping willow, and went about the streets of Paris with a flower pot on his head to announcohis transformation.

Greensburg wants a directory. It is a nightly occurrence that many of her citizens cannot find the way to their homes. It will require a peculiar direc tory to elucidate the intricacies of the streets of the town on such ocoasions, however. The host of young men in every large dty who apply for employment aud fail to get it for the reason that they are not educated or specially fitted for any particular business constitutes a potent argument in favor of reform. Uudor ths apprentice system wo should have fewer ignorant mechanics and incompe tent business men. . A young grass widow, aged 25 years, and ex-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 Polauder. The Ths widow's tastes are truly cosmopoli tain, and she seems ready to take the world to her glowing aud capricious bosom. The Missouri Itcpublicsn says of the panio : "We may as woll prepare for a second shook at no very distant day, whether it comes or not; a preparation for it will destroy half its force. The preparation needed is a general payment of debts?nothing moro, nothing loss ; snd the sooner all classes of individuals resolutely sat about this, the hotter it will he for the country." Nothing on earth ean smile but hu man beings. Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a diamond flash compared with an eye flash and mirth fash. A fsoo that cannot smile is like 0 hut that oaonot blossom, and dries upon the stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twi ? light that j hovers gently between both, and more bewitching that either.

Tbc liberty Atiicricm women have bc.'orc marriage in sharp contrast tu the bondage succeeding it. Foreigners are as much startled by ouo as they aru 6ur priced by the other.

The freedom of our wedded women should be is broad and full as that of the onweded. Domestioity should regulate itself. Tho cord of loyalty, binding love cm not. bt stretch ed very far without breaking ; and when it breaks, love is released. A man and woman are married to ei h other, not to ali their acquaintances an 1 ev.^ry ctt rious gossip. It is fair to presum? that they know whit they wish* and that they can arrange their affairs without intermediation. Tho liberty thoy nr.; generally trilling to give the one to the other they are re strained from giving by tho question of appearances. From this dof'erenco to the society they secretly despise they insure mntnal weariness au?' disnonance, and forego likewise tho satisfaction and advancement thoy might have gained by taking more personal an 1 spiritual latitude Reside the nuptial alia r too often yawns the tomb of woman's pro gress, and, strangely and sadly enough, she assists at itd burial without protest or complaint.

Yet, we say, how frail ja that life on which so much depends I How frail is the life of the husband and father 1 When he is taken nwaj, who shall fill his place? Wheu he is sick, what gloomy clouds borer over the house 1 When he is detd, what dark ness, weeping, agony! The poverty, like tho murderous assassin, breaks in the window?starvation, like a famish ing wolf, howls at the door. Widow hood is often nu associate of sackoloth and S8hes. Orphanhood too often moans desolution and woe. Creole Women. The Creole woman is prettier than the Frenoh woman. There is a climatic in fluence in America which rofiues features and givoi* delicacy to tho complexion. This is especially tho case in Louisiana, where finely formed woraon arc often found to bo the descendants of ignoble lookiug ancestors. The light olive tint of the woman seems to have been paint ed over a ground color of blushing lake, aud this pinkish creatniness of the skia saves it from dullness and sallownoss. In a word, there is something of that traaspareoy for whioh painters are always seeking. She inherits from her mother over the pea the physical characteristics of round limbs and delicate extremities, with a figure something slighter?another effect of climate, also that sense of art with which the people 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 colors or awry shapes; nor docs she ozpress herself with unseemly gesture or discordant toucs. Her dress is rather sombre than gay, and bcr carriage simple and conven tional?for they all walk alike. Smooth ness and graceful propriety archers. In a word there is au absence of angles in her general conduct.? Galaxy. I'asliioiis. Tho fashionable umbrella is now more attenuated than evor. Ladies, hats this season consists chiefly o( two bows of ribbon aud a stiff ostrich feather. The Elizabethan ruffs are assuming proportions more ponderous and awe-in ? spiting than ever. Cameos have gone out of fashion for jewelry, having been succeeded by en tuglios?antique, if possible. It is fashionable now to have all tho maid servants in tho household, to wear ouf-?, ?A?r the English style. Ladies just from Europe wear their hair very plain aud low on the neck style all tho isgo in Paris. Fringes aro to be very fashionable as trimmings this winter. Some of the handsomer sorts are as expeusive as fine laces. The war against gilt and imitation jewelcry continues furiously. As a re sult, very little of it is worn by would be fashionable ladies. Peacock blue is the new color (or sashes, which are worn of the widest kind of ribbon, and with long ends down to the skirt of the dress. Peacock blue is very soft and beautiful shade. NOTICE.
