How often-havo Hre heard the question asked-how seldom auswered. AU seem, more or less, to indulge in n little "innocent flirtation." It is a plea? sant pastime, and they enjoy it vastly. Even married people, now-adays, ap? pear to have a considerable relish for n side dish of flirtation. Now, in good, sober earnest, is flirting au innocent amusement? Sometimes, yes! oftener, no! Not that we think many of these dear, delightful little creatures who revel in the name of flirt care much. They seem to delight in the idea of wounding a poor, susceptible fellow; and with this end in view, they use all their charms to the Very best advantage. How cleverly they find out all his weak points, take his heart hy storm, and then, without the shadow of pity, mercy or remorse, turn round and laugh in the poor, deluded fellow's face. Of course there is a great deal of dif? ference in flirts, also in flirting. Thore I ar?., for instance, the dear, charming lit? tle creatures, who hang confidentially upon your arm, and look up into your face, who drop their eyes in a pretty, half bashful way;:, and- sigh as though their poor little hearts were actually breaking for you, and who, all the while, are laughing in their sleeves; for no mat? ter how small or tight they may be, (their sleeves, we mean,) they manage to laugh in thorn at the expense of the poor, deluded fools, who are conceited enough to believe they have another to add to their list. Then there is a bright, brilliant, dash? ing flirt; who glories in her "name and occupation ;" who boasts openly of all her conquests, and tells you plainly to your face she will carry off-your heart in spite of you; and, to tell the truth, she rarely fails; for no matter how sharp a look-out you keep, that gay young dam? sel will manage, somehow or another, to take you unawares. And then how she enjoyS the victory how.she laughs outright at your woe-be g?ne looks, and comforts you by saying she only did it for fun, as she "had no? thing else to do"-a great comfort to know that your heart has been used os a toy-as a foot-ball, for instance. She will also console you by saying you Are not ? the. first ana. only sighing swain who is pining for her.smile; and 'she hopes you will not be the last-per hnpfe has the audacity to point out. her next victim-with an encouraging and con ti don ti ni whisper, to watch the next Beena on the p;jctgfatttf^. over sinogsh^yras i^ii|^^fher heart has fijsest? $hxoufA the ?ames uotouched.

An elderly gentleman;' aooustomed to "indulge," entered the room of a certain tavern, where sat a grave Friend by the fire. Lifting a pair of green spectacles upon his forehead, rubbing his inflamed eyes, and calling for hot brandy and wa? fer, he complained to tho Friend that bis eyes wei o getting weaker, and that even spectacles didn't seem to do any good. "I'll tell thee, friend, what I think," re? plied the Quaker. "If thee were to wear thy spectacles over thy mouth for a few months, thine eyes would get well again."

Tbe fct? ctte&fttnt, one James Morrie, had been an indolent and some* what dissipated man; the farm conse? quently fell into neglect, and became uu- ? Erofl table, and he died in debt? leaving is wife and only daughter in possession of the place. Shortly after his death the widow took into her employment a young man from Staffordshire, of the came of John Newton, the hero of this little story, who had, been strongly re? commended to her by her brother; and well and faithfully did he discharge his duties aa bailiff, fully justifying the praise aud recommendations she received with him. He was an utter stranger in that part of the country, seemed studi? ously to shun all acquaintances with his neighbors, and to devote himself exclu? sively to his employer. He never left home but to visit the neighboring fairs and markets, and to attend the parish church, where his presence was r?gulai and his conduct devout. In short, though circumspect in his behavior or ail occasions, he was a melacchly, re? served man, and even the clergyman ol the parish, to whom he was always moal respeotfuMn his demeanor, entirely-fail ed in making acquaintance with him Tho farm under his management had im proved, and became profitable; and tin circumstances of Mrs. Morris were bi his assiduity and skill, both ptosperoui and flourishing. In this manner mon than two ''years had passed, and th widow began to regard him more as i friend and benefactor (hau a servant, an< was not sorry to observe her daughter' growing affection for him, which appear ed to be reciprocated. One evening ii November, 1821, being detained lbcge than usual by business at Welshpool Newton set out about 6 o'clock to wal home to Oakfield. It was an exceedingl dark night, and he never reaohcd hom again. His family became very anxioui and upon inquiry early the followin morning, at Welshpool, they asoertaine that he had been brought back to tin town not long after his departure frei it, by two meu named Parker and Pearc< who charged him with highway robben accompanied by violence, an offent then punishable with death. At the tri: of the next assize ho was pronounce guilty ou the testimony of these tw men, which was olear, positive and coi sistent throughout, was sentenced to I hanged, and left for execution. Ho en ployed no conned, and called no wi nesses in his defeuce; but upou beic asked by the judge, in the usual fore "If he had anything to say why seutem of death should uot be passed upc him," he made, in substance, the follow ing extraordinary speech: "My lord, it is evident all I could si in opposition to such testimony won be in vain and hopeless. The witness are meu of respectability, and their ei dence has appeared plain and concluait and my most solemn protestations of; i nocence would avail me nothing.' have called no witnesses to oharacU and upon suoh evidence the jory aou pronounoe no other verdict.

Exoitement promotes tho dei monts of genius, as a phosphor? sea is the more brilliant tho mor* agitated. A smart thing-Mustard plaster. How Yoong Duck? Amoved ThemiolTci ? . . tn Old Time?. Victor Hagoyjn his nsw novel, "The Man Who .Laughs, V.-. thus refers to some of the elane of tho young aristocracy that succeeded the revolutionary clubs under Cromwell : To tho republican had succeeded the monarohial clubs. They amused them? selves decently therein. There was the She-Romps Club. They caught in the e'-eet a woman, a passer? by, of the middle class, as young and as ? good-looking as they could get; they pushed her by force into the club, and ' there mudo her walk on her hands, her feet in the air, her fare hidden by her drooping petticoats. If she took it in dudgeon, . they lashed a little with the riding-whip that part which was not con? cealed. The squires of this order of horse-breakers called themselves "The Friskors." There was a Sheet-lightning Club, me? taphorically the Merry-Dancers. Ne? groes aud whites danced here the pt'eun (es and the timtirimbas of Peru, notably the Mozamala, the doxy's dance, which has its crowning feature in the dancing girl's sitting down on a heap of meal, upon which she leaves the imprint of the Callipyge. There was the Hell-fire Club, where thoy played at being impious. It was a tournament of sacrilege. Hell was here set up nt auction to the most blasphe? mous. There was tho Batting Club, so-called, because they gavo butts to people. They picked out some porter with an immense brisket und idiotic look. They offered him, and if necessary they forced him to take, a pot of porter for allowing them to give him four butts in the breast; and thereupon they laid their wagers. Once a man, a heavy bruto of a Welshman, named Gogangerdd, died at tho third butt. This looked serious. There was an inquest, and the jury brought in a verdict "died of expansion of the heart, caused by excessive drinking." Go? gangerdd hud indeed drunk a pot of porter. There was tho Fnn Club. Fun is, like cant, like humor, an exceptional, un? translatable word. Fun is to farce what allspice is to salt. To enter a dwelling, smash the costly mirrors, slash the fami? ly portraits, poison the dog, put the cat in the nviury, this was called "cutting out n piece of fun." To spread a false report of bad news which should put people needlessly in mourning, this was fun. Under James II, a young lord, a 1 millionaire, who had set fire, at night, to a straw-thatched cottage, filled Loudon with laughter, aud was proclaimed King of Fun. The poor devils of the straw thatched cottage escaped in their night? dresses. Thu members of the Fun Club, all of tho highest aristocracy, wandered about London nt au hour when the citi? zens were asleep, took the shutters off their hinges, cut tho pipes of the hy? drants, caused the cisterns to cave iu, took down the signs, laid waste the flow? er-beds, extinguished the street lamps, sawed asunder the main props of houses, broke the squares of glass in windows especially in the quarters of the poor. It was the rich who thus treated the wretch? ed. That was why no complaint was possible. Besides, there was something comic in it. These manners have not yet wholly disappeared. Itt different parts of England, and of the English possessions-at Guernsey, for example from time to time, they loy waste your hour house a little ut night, break down your fence, wrench off your door-knock? er, kc. If the offenders were poor, they would be sent to jail; but they are esti? mable young gentlemen. The most distinguished of the clubs was presided over by au emperor, who carried a crescent on his forehead, and was oalled the "Great Mohock." The Mohock surpassed the fun. To do harm for harm's sake-such was the pro? gramme. The Mohock Club hud this noble aim: to be mischievous. For ful? filling this duty, all means were good. On becoming n Mohock you were bound by oath to do mischief. To do mischief I at all hazards-no mattor when, no mat? ter what, no matter how-was tho obli? gation. Every member of the Mohock I Club was expected to have his special I talent. One was a "dancing muster" j that is to say, he made clodpolls frisk i about by pricking their calves, with his sword. Others were skilled in "sweat I ing"-that is to say, the getting up u circle of six or eight gentlemen, rapier in hand, around some low scamp;- being surrounded on ail sides, it was impossi? ble thut tho scamp should not turn his back upon some one of the party; the gentleman upon whom he turned it chas? tised him for it by a pointed thrust, tbat. made him wheel about; ? fresh thrust mado intimated to the fellow that he had somo sprig of nobility behind him; and thus, ono after another, each pricking in his turn. When the man, girt ia by this circle of swords, and all | bloody, bad sufficiently piroutted and I danced, they bad him cudgeled by their j lackeys, just to change the course of his j ideas. Others "stirred up the lion;" that is to eay, laughingly arrested a pass? er-by, crushed his nose for him with a blow of a Hst, and plunged their two thumb.'; into his eyes. If the two eyes I were put out, they paid him for the loss. I Such, at the beginning of the eight | eenth century, were the pastimes of the opulent idlers of Loudon. The Charlotto Observer gives the fol? lowing description of Damielle, a noto? rious horse thief now visiting various portions of tho country: Ho is about six feet two inches high, spare built, very straight, light sandy hair and beard, grey eyes, walks with rather a oareless stride, and is very easy and remarkably self-possessed in conversation, and is about twenty-five years old.

An Autocrat of Faantam ?nd hf* Aristo? ? r crail* Supporter*. The correspondent of the New. York Times, writing from Parla, gives the fol? lowiDg gossiping sketch of Worth, the famous autocrat of fashion, and of some of his peculiarities: It would not be right to BOJ anything against Mr. Worth, the man milliner of the Rue de la Paix, for he is the prince of industrials in his way. His establish? ment is a curiosity; at least that is what people generally say. There is certainly none other like it. It is curious, tho 'evening of a fancy dress ball at the Tuil? eries, to see the jam of crested carriages before his door. It i J curious to see ladies, as deeply crested as their car? riages, take tickets at the door so as to be admitted in turn to the presence of the great man inside. It is curious to witness their assault on the lunoh set out for them in tba waiting room, and which suggests that perhaps they do nob all penetrate further into the temple of fash? ion. Once inside, it is something more than curious to witness what takes place. The artist, a good-looking man of forty, with black hair and pale face, dressed loosely in a black dress suit, and with white cravat-a man who speaks all lan? guages, and does not know what country he belongs to, although he sometimes forgets himself, and says he is an En? glishman-stands in the middle of the floor, with his eyes on the lady customs examines her as he would a horse he was going to buy. He makes a female assist? ant turn her around, trot her up and down, sit down, stand np, and finally he issues his fiat, from which there is no ap? peal, and the customer must take the dress, tho cut, and the price he dictates.

Then, when the costume is finished, they mnst return with it on, to seo whether it does not need u touch here and there be? fore its advent in the world. Mr. Worth goes through ell this process with snch decorum, and with such an evident eye to art, that the fashionable world, from the Empress down, declares that in fash? ion, there is but one god, and Worth is his prophet. But there is a good side to Worth (hat the world in general does not know of. Worth is liberal to the trade; he does not charge fifty francs toa smaller tradesman for a pattern; he gives il to him.

Moreover, he invents bonnets and boots, and hoop skirts and collars, and gives them to the people engaged in the manufacture of these several articles, and charges them, nothing for them. He has thus been tho fortuso of a crowd of poor people, who look upon him as a sort of benefac? tor. He is alone the inventor of the greater part of the fashions wbich fash? ionable ladies wear in all parts of the world. He shapes thc forms of woman kind the wide world over. Was ever mor? tal so omniscient before? Does he get rich? No, for ho is an ar ti st, a Bohemian, a spendthrift. H keeps open house at his country place, a Suresnes, the year round, and the cham pngne flows in rivers, the pate de foie gr melts by the ton. Bat his partner an business (man takes care of his mone and is rich, and that shows what kind o business it is to be the high priest o fashion. The system of carpet-bagism begn by the radicals in the treatment of th South seems to be sorely troubling th party, lt appears that the honest publican Senators in the West conside that they have just as much right sen ing men to this city to fill offices as the have South. Because they insist upo this right, the radical papers and poli cians are in a rage. They don't like the own medicine. "I'm afraid you don't like the babi when they cry," said a matron to a ge tleman, as she tried to soothe the darli in her arms. "Oh, yes," said he, "I like them b when they cry, because I've always o served that they are carried oat of t room." Retail druggists invariably dobuaine on a small scale.
