A specialty - Qt a certain clique of "Bohe mians" in Paris, is the fabrioation ol romantic biographies for sensational actresses and sing? ers; and these Ingenious romances are some? times copied by the minor English press when their flair subjects axe about to appear la Lon? don. Seldom, however, does the British news? paper originate a fictitious stage-story foran EngHfh debutante; and, upon this considera? tion, some readers may conclude that There is as much fact as ioncj In the following curious biographical reminiscences of an English sing? er not altogether unknown to the American public: In April, I860, while the yoong and lovely daughter efthe Earl of D--was enjoying her usual afternoon airing along the " Lady's Mile," her fhn dropped from her hand over the side of the carriage, and she ordered her coachman, te stop and recover it. Co achy curbed his i?gh-steppers to a halt as quickly as possible ; but, before he could descend from his perch, -a gentleman of resplendent black whiskers and Immaculate costume appeared at the side of tho vehicle, and, with a courtly bow, presented the fan. A blushed "thank you, sir," rewarded the act, and the coachman whs directed to head his horses for Belgrave square ; bot the Earl's daughter carried home in her bosom a vivid mental photograph of the knight of the fan. and could not help fancying that a something in the expression of .?his fine black ejes had silently pleaded for a further acquaintance. To employ the term best understood by her sex, ?be was, in fact, "struck-' with his distinguished ap? pearance, and couldn't get him out of her head. It was one of those cases of instantaneous infatuation which axe quite as common with the gentler as with the sterner sex. The young nady drove in the park, at the same hour, on every succeeding afternoon of the week, for the particular pur? pose of catching another glimpse of the ele? gant stranger. All her efforts to that end, ~ "flwe\'3r7TToVetr ?ala, Maui one evening at the Royal italian Opera, where she accidental Iv dropped her lorgnette from her box. Upon that exciting occasion several white-cravated gentlemen sprang to pick up tte pearl-and gold bijou: bot there was a quicker one before them all, and She lorgnette was presented bj .the whiskered unknown of Hyde Park. Our susoepitible heroine blushed celestial rosy-red as she received it. and the dark-ey ed cavalier Sve her such a look of homage in the act at her own eyes dropped prettily under the ardent glance. Bowing gracefully, the un? known retired lo a station at the back of the box, and there worshipped with his look until the performance was over. FOr a month after this several silent inter? views of the kind took place, until at length the peer's daughter felt her right hand slightly grasped one evening, as she was stepping into a carriage from the opera house, arri, on re? covering from her alarm, found a sci led note in the hand thus abased. In a moment she had guessed who the writer was, and had scarcely patience to gain the privacy of her own room before ascertaining its contents. The missive was written In a fine Italian hand, and the writer avowed his honorable passion in the exaggerated style natural to a fellow-coun? trymen of the Cencls. He called her his Idol, the light of his soul, the star to be wor? shipped from afar bj the idolatrous wretch who dared not draw nearer. The Eng? lish of the wording was Just execrably bad enough to heighten the romance and suggest anglicised marble villas beside the murmur? ing Po. He should "kill himself," said the knight, if mJiadl did not conceal a "leetle nota" for him In the folds of her fan, on a cer? tain night, and manage to drop it for him as abe entered her box at the opera. She did so; and thus began a secret correspondence which ended in her promise to elope with the man. She had repeatedly endeavored to gain some information respecting his rank, though not until it was too late to save herself; and when he assured her that peculiar but not dis? honorable circumstances rendered " an open courtship Impossible," she could only give film his own way. Another month passed on, and, upon a certain afternoon, the young lady's car *riage returned to Belgravia without her. For better, for woree, she nad Joined her adorer at a railway station, and gone with him to the nearest Gretna Green. They knew each other very intimately in sentiment, but now the fond foreigner had such hard facts to disclose as came near throwing his lovely captive into a swoon. Sinking upon his knees In the inn of the village to which they bad fled, be confessed that he was a hirer out of hand organs to the more needy of his countrymen about London. In horrible English, he abused himself unstintedly for daring to pretend to so fair and noble a hand, and offered to escort bis victim back to London, ir she desired, and then cast himself headlong from the top of the monument in Trafalgar square. The Earl's daughter was shocked, but had gone too far to recant; so she gave him absolution from his sins against her, and went with him to a cler? gyman. Next day there was a sensation in fhshionable circles, because the Earl of D-'s daughter ''had run off with an Italian count, whose membership in the Roman Catholic Church had made him distasteful to ber noble parents." Such was the Court Jour? nal's neat way of putting thc case. After writing a friendly account of her mesalliance to her family, the young wife made hasty sail with her doting husband to Italy. She found that her new relatives there were hot all patricians, by any means; but they received her with great res? pect; and. as the ex-organizer was the ten? derest of liege lords, she managed to pass a joyous honeymoon. Before "settling down for good," however, she wrote another letter to per father for forgiveness, and thereby threw that noble lord Into fresh paroxysms of wrath, rle seat a crushing answer, refusing to longer recognize her as child of hi?, and heapin?* curses uponiher and her Italian. Like a sen? sible English girl our heroine took this all very philosophically, and sang merrily, tra, la, la, to the music of a guitar, until trw peculiar parity and! freshness of her voice attracted thc critical attention of her husband He called In a celebrated maestro to hear her sine and was rejoiced to learn that his wife had a voice worth a rortune to her. A good master waa at once secured for the lively lady, she studied the Italian language and a tistic method with avidi Sr, and, at the request of her lord, consented to? og in publia As a result, the whole city went wild With enthusiasm over a new diva, and she received an invitation to be? come second ch?ntense at La Scala. Accept? ing, she gained such a series of triumphs that her husband was frantic with mingled pride ?nd joy. On the occasion of her benefit he evinced this spirit by giving a grand supper to thc dilettanti of Milan, retired to his bed in an exalted state of intoxication, and-died of ap? oplexy before morning. His lady burled him with "sincere sorrow, and was hardly con? scious of what would be her next step, when she received an otTer of an engagement at the English Royal Italian Opera. With subdued joy she took advantage of the opportunity to see once more her native land, and under her fanciful Italian stage name was soon captivating the musical Londoners by her glorious voice. When her English fame was at its height, the Earl of D-, hearing particularly of her beauty, went to the opera to observe for himself. It must have been a mysterious consanguineous im? pulse that sent hint hither, for he bad no more ear than ex-Seeretary Welles for Italian mu I sic; but when once he had caught sight of la diva, a yoke of oxen could scarcely have drawn hi?a away. He recognized his ungrate? ful daughter, and even swelled with paternal pride, when showers of boqueta and whirl? winds of applause greeted her at the termina? tion of eacn act of the "Figlia." A surprising magnanimity took possession of his noble breast; he would reclaim the organ grinder's Widow; he would raise her to#nis own high sphere again; he would restore his fatherly fa? vor to the idol of art and the haut ton, and would finally marry her off to a titled noodle. Filled with these generous intentions, he depu? ted a friend tobear his card tathe dressing-room of the prima donna, and was much aston? ished by her refusal to see him. '"She dreads my reproaches," thought he, after due consid? eration; and, on the morrow, caused the same friend as bet?re to bear his offer of parental recognition to the goddess of song. The friend was readily admitted to an audience, and be? came therefrom astonished lor the remainder of his life. The lady said, haughtily, "My lather cast me off for marrying the gentleman of my choice; he refused to recognize me in my days of poverty and obscurity. Now, that I am rich and famous, I refuse to recognize him ! Let us be strangers to each other." All farther advances were unavailing, and my lord and his daughter remain strangers to this day." _ GRECIAN WIVES. [From Appleton's Journal.] The wives of the Greeks lived in almost ab? solute seclusion. They were usually married when very young. Their occupations were to weave, to spin, to embroider, to superintend the household, |0 care for their sick slaves. They lived in a special and retired part of the house. The more wealthy seldom went abroad, and never except when accompanied by a fe? male slave; never attended the public specta? cles; received no male visitors except In the presence of their husbands, and had not even a seat at their own tables when male guests were there. Tttelr pre-eminent virtue was fidelity, and it is probable that this was very strictly and very generally observed. Their remarkable freedom from temptations, the public opinion which strongly discouraged any attempt to seduce them, and the ample sphere for illicit pleasures that was accorded to the other sex, all contributed to protect it. On the other hand, living as they did, almost exclusively among their female slaves, de? prived of all the educating influence of malo society, and having no place at those public spectacles which were the chief means of j Athenian culture, their minds must necessa? rily have been exceedingly contracted. Thu? cydides doubtless expressed the prevailing sentiment of his countrymen when he said that the highest merit of rvoman is not to bc spoken of either for geod or for evil, and Phidias illustrated the ?ame theory when he represented the heaventy Aphrodite standing on a tortoise, typifying thereby the secluded Ufe of a virtuous womaxi. In their own resttioted sphere their lives were probably not unhappy. Education and custom gendered the purely domestic life that was assigned to them -a second nature, and it must, in most Instances, have reconciled them to the extra matrimonial connections lu which their husbands too frequently Indulged. The prevailing manners were very gentle. Domes? tic oppression ls hardly ever spoken of; the husband lived chiefly in thc public place; caus? es of jealousy and of dissension could seldom occur, and a feeling of warm affection, though not a feeling of eqtaality, must doubtless have in most cases spontaneously arisen. In tne writings ol Xenophon we have a charming Eicture of a husband who had received Into is arms his young wife of fifteen, absolutely ignorant of the world and its ways. He speaks to her with extreme kindness, but in the language that wotld bc used to a little child. Her task, he tells her, is to be like a queen bee, dwelling continually at home and superintending the work ol her slaves. She ; munt distribute toeah tholr tnalru. mnut ocouo mlze the family Income, and must take espe? cial care that the bouse ls strictly orderly-; the shoes, the pots and the clothes, always In their places, lt ls also, he tells her, a part of her duty to tend ber sick slaves; but here his wife Interrupted hun, exclaiming, "Nay, but that will Indeed be the most agreeable of my offices, if such as' I treat with kindness are likely to be grateful, and to love me more than before." With a very tender and delicate care to avoid everything resembling a re? proach, the husband persuades his wife to give up the habit of wearing high-heeled boots, in order to appear tall, and of coloring her face with vermilion and white lead. He promises her that, If she faithfully performs her duties, he will himself be the first and most devoted of her slaves. He assured So? crates that, when any domestic dispute arose, he could extricate himself admirably, if he was in the right; but that, whenever he was in the wrong, ne found lt impossible to convince his wife that it was otherwise. THE WOMAN OE THE FUTURE. [From the Pall Mall Gazette.] Women are not so universally beautiful, so wisc and so good as they might be, and it is to the interest of humanity that they should be beautiful, wise and good. Consider, in the first place, the question of beauty. The more hopeful look forward to t e lime when some? thing of thc old Greek feeling for physical per? fection shall have revived, and a simple and more healthful lile shall have fitted women to become mothers ol a noble race. In this re? spect we are wiser than of old, but, though hygiene and common sonse have done much for ourselves, they have done much more for our children. We of the present generation are the offspring of tight-lacing mothers; but small waists, tight shoes and other abomina? tions are no longer universal. Dress is much better adapted to out of door life than former? ly. Etiquette has been relaxed, and our young women', enjoy a freedom from physi? cal restraint undreamed of by their grandmothers. Health has ceased to be the monopoly of the other sex. Still the majority of women lead far from wholesome lives; and as beauty is more or less a matter of health, too much can never be said against such abuses of it as are yet in fashion. The worst of these abuses is that they lead to a perver? sion of taste. Quite naturally the fragile type of beauty has become the standard of the pres? ent day, and men admire in real life the lily cheek, small-walsted, diaphanous-looking crea? ture idealized by living artists. When we be? come accustomed to a nobler kind of beauty we shall attain to a loftier Ideal. Men will seek nobility rather than prettiness, strength rather than weakness, physical perfection rather than physical degeneracy, In the women they select as mothers of their children. Ar? tists will rejoice and sculptors will cease to de? spair when this happy consummation ls reach ed. Let none regard it as chimerical or Uto? pian. A very little rationalism brought to bear upon daily life would place physical well? being within reach of women of all ranks; and where health leads the way, beauty is seldom slow to follow. Few will deny that wisdom, whose essence is common sense, has a large share in deter? mining the happiness of social and domestic life. Is it not reasonable to suppose that the various reforms in female education will have proportionate effect upon the female charac? ter, and that the woman of thc future will dif? fer from the woman of the present, intellec? tually, as well as physically ? Steady culture, Increased habits of self-reliance, wider views of life, and a keener appreciation of thc truth for truth's sake, can but enlarge and elevate the whole sex. The obvious inference is that lust as a more healthful mode of existence will invigorate and beautify the bodies of women, so a rational mode of existence will strengthen and improve their minds. Frivolity, pettiness inactivity, and other faults of which* men most complain, will make room for opposite qualities; and who shall aver this to be against the in? terests of humanity ? Perhaps nothing causes ?nore domestic unhappiness than downright silliness. A foolish wife will ollcn bring about as much mischief in her husband's home as a persistently evll-Utmpered one could do, and with the best intentions In the world, is sure to hinder and hamper him upon every occa? sion. Now silliness is thc first stronghold of evil that agoodsy8tem of education will storm. Just so long as girls are trained to frivolity and Irresponsible habits from childhood upwards will they become frivolous and irresponsible wives and mothers. In grouting, then, that the women of thc future must of necessity nherit a large share of physical and intel? lectual excellence, we are led to extend the same happy prophecy of the moral fae ulties. Women often commit grave as well as small errors, not because they are perverse by nature, but because there reason is at fault, and they fail to recognize the proportionate relation of things. Again, habits of subservience induce a cowardly atti? tude of mind. Very few women have the courage to be Individual. Very few women estimate their own lives of any value in the fullest sense of the word. They know well enough that they have some usc as wives, mothers, daughters: but that they can have any share in the well-being ol the world does not occur to them. Self-development conveys to their minds something quite apart from the duty of wife, mother or daughter, while the tmth is that self-development embraces every other duty. Ill, therefore, does it become those who satirize women, to hinder any effort made in their behalf, whether educational or social; always remembering this, however, that such efforts are likely to do very little good which tend to make of women weak imita? tions of men.

Perhaps no one medi? cine ls so universal** re? quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so uni? versally adopted into usc, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious reason ls, that lt ls a more reliable and far more effectual rem? edy than any other. Those who have tried it, know that lt cured them: those who have not, know that lt- cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once It does always-that lt never falls through any fault or neglect of Its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of the certifi? cates of their rema:*sble cures of the following complaints, but such cui?.s are known lo every neighborhood, and we need not publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions In all climates; containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no barm can arise from their use In any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the Internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate lt Into healthy action-remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their Irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of disease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these PILLS rapidly cure: For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LISTLESSNESS, LANGUOR and Loss of APPETITE, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symp? toms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SIC* HEADACHE, JAUN? DICE or GREEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLIC and BILIOUS FEVERS, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause lt. For DYSENTERY or DIARRHOA, but one mild dose iifgenerally requh^d. For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATION OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and LUNGS, they should bc continuously taken, as re? quired, to change thc diseased action of the sys? tem. With such change those complaints dis? appear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they should be taken In large and frequent doses tc produce the effect of a drastic purge. For SUPPRESSION a large dose shou .d be taken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to pro? mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates thc stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and Invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad? vantageous where no serious derangement exipts. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these PILLS makes him feel decidedly bet? ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.
