Flirts are of many kinds, as well as of all degrees. There are quiet flirts and demonsti;a tive fliids; flii-ts’of the subtle' sort whose prac tice is made by the eves alone, by tlie manner, by the tender, little' sigh, by the bend of - tlie head; and the wave of the hand, to giVO pathos add, point to the .Otherwise harmless wbril; and flirts, of the open arid rampant .kind, who go up quite boldly to - the point, but who. never reach it, taking care -to draw back iri time before they really cross the border. This is the kind which, as the flirt riiale, does incalculable damage to the poor little fluttering doves to. whom it is a bird of prey, handsome, bold and cruel; but this is the kind which has unlimited success, rising, as it does that immense moral leverage we call “tantalizing,” for ever rousing, hopes and exciting expectations, and luring on; aslan Ignis fiit-ma'- lures', one on across the; marsh, in the vain belief that it will bring us to our haven at last. Then there is the race of male flirts great in , the .way in which they manage to insinuate things without com mitting themselves to positive statetnents. They generally contrive to give the impression of some mysterious hindrance by which they are held hack from full and frank confession. They hint at fatal bonds,,at. unfortunate at taclimeritspat a past that lias burned them up or withered them up, at any rate that has pre vented their future from blossoming in the direc tion in which they would fain have hail it blos som and hear fruit. They sketch out very vaguely tlie outlines of some thrilling romance; a few, of the Byronic breed, add the srispicion of some dark and melancholy, crime as ai'urther enhancement; and when they have got the girl’s pity and the love that is akin to pityf then they ..-.cool down scientifically, never creating any scandal, never making any rupture,' never coining to a moment when awkward explana tious.v-can be asked, but cooling nevertheless, till tlie. tiring drops of its own accord, dies out from inanition, and they are free to carry their sorrows and.then- mysteries elsewhere. Some men spend tlieir lives in this kind of tiring, and find their ’pleasure in making all the nice wo men they know madly or sentimentally in love with them; and if by chance any poor moth who has binned her wings makes too loud au outcry, the tables are tiuned against her dex terously, and she is held up to public pity contempt would be a better word—as one who has suffered lierselt to love too w ell and by no means wisely, and who has ran after a Lothario who would not let himself be caught. « Then there are certain men who flirt only with married women, and others who flirt only with girls; and tlie two pastimes are as different as tropical sun light and our-northern moonshine; and there are some who are “brothers,” and some who are “fathers” to their young friends—suspicious fathers on the whole, not unlike Little Red Ridingliood’s grandmother, the woll, with perilously bright eyes, and .not a little danger to Red Ridingliooil in the relationship, how delightful soever it may be to the wolf. Some are content with cousinslrip only—which, how ever, breaks down quite sufficient fences —anil some are “dearest friends,” no more, anil And that an exceedingly useful centre from which to i work onward and outward. For, if anything will do on which to hang a discourse, so will any relationship or adoption serve the ends of I flirting, if it be so willed. But what is flirting? Is sitting away in -cor nels, talking in low voices, and looking per sonally affronted if any unlucky outsider comes within earshot, fluting? Not necessarily. It is just possible that Henry may be telling An gelina all about bis admiration for her sister- Grace, or Angelina may be confessing to Henry what Charley said to her last night, which makes her lower her eyes as she is doing now, and play with tlie fringe of her fan so ner vouslv. May he, if not likely. So that sitting away'in corners and whispering together is not necessarily flirting, though it may look like it. Is dancing all tlie “round” dances together? This goes for decided flirting iri the code of the ball-room. But if tlie two keep well together? If they are really fond of dancing, as one of- the fine arts combining i science and enjoyment, they would dance with each other all night, though outside the “marble balls” they might be deadly enemies— ■ Montagues and Capuiets, with no echo of | Romeo and Juliet to soften tlieir mutual dis like. So that not even dancing together ■ oftener than is absolutely necessary is unmis i takeable evidence, any more than sitting away in comers, seeing that equal skill and keeping well in step are reasons enough for perpetual partnership, making all idea ol flirtation • un necessary. In fact, there is no outward sign or symbol of flirting which may not be mis t From tlio Saturday lU-vicv.j taken and turned round, because flirting is so There are certain tilings which can never be entirely in tlie retention, and not in tlie mere accurately described—tilings so shadowy, so . formula, that it becomes a kind oi phantasm, fitful, so dependent on the mood of tlie 1110- a protons, impossible to seize oi to depict Snent, both in the audience and tlie actor, that with accuracy.

Maxinxe;’ du Camp may perliaps be inclined to fancy that the school ot writers who deal in the terrible and revolting inMit add a powerful chapter or two to the mysteries of Tans without strayingtoo far-into the regions of pure fancy. du Camp lias evidently a close acquaintance with his subject; lie has talked witli some of the leading men m the criminal profession; he has visited tlieir favorite haunts; lie has picked .up, something of their language; and he gives us an elaborate classification of their favorite pursuits. If, m some respects, tlie French criminal is little above the wild beast in liis propensities, lie. has yet a certain grim picturesqueness about him which would repay a careful student of human nature. There was, for example, a certain sense of humor about one Beaumont, who got liiniself up in splendid official costume, with a black coat, a white cravat, and a voluminous portfolio under his arm, and ordered: a soldier to accompany him with an air of undoubting confidence. Placing him as a sentinel before tlie door of the chief oi the service de suretc, with bedel's to admit no one, M. Beaumont repaired, to ; the official apartment, w alked off with the valuables, and, dismissing the soldier, disappeared into utter obscurity, sending the same evening a civil note of apology for the treuble which he had given. M. Beaumont, we are almost glad to say, es caped with his plunder from all pursuit. The celebrated Javdin,'again, appears to have acted the part of a Robinllood.inmodernlile. In following his profession of c ambrioleur —a peculiar variety of burglar—he was in the habit of breaking into rooms, and when he found them specially poverty-stricken, leaving behind him a respectable contribution for the benefit of the fortunate inmate. The delicacy of feeling thus displayed did not imply that he was above doing his work ■ in a more businesslike spirit" when occasion demanded, for .Jardin was unfortunately executed for murdering a young girl whom lie surprised in one of liis visitations. A slight touch of good feeling may perhaps be put to the account’ of another gentleman who was accused of complicity in a murder of peculiar atrocity, at St. Cyr. He pointed out to tlie President of the Court that lie was inno cent of any premeditation, inasmuch as he had come without arms to the scene of operations,, and had only picked ,up .a stone on the way to help in demolishing the victims. “Why, then,' said , the President, “did you accompanyrmen. whom you knew to be. intending a crime?"’ “Dame,”was f oMfis,.ll fa.ut bum se rend re dr. petits services.” Other.stories are of a more iuhinitigatedly revolting diameter. We have lately been treated to discussions as to the intuitive sense of morality possessed by Hie whole Tinman race. "What sort -of moral sentiiient could lurk in the breast of the crimi nal who went to see_hisT>fpther executed, and occupied''himself in picking pockets of four watches and a purse? or of the horrible ruffian of twenty-one, who, after miu'dering liisunother with fifty-six blows of a knife, lay down on the bed by the corpse, and, in liis own words, words,' “passed a good night?” Much as the plea of insanity has.been abused, we would he Had to think 'that it was possible to set down tlie crimes of such monsters to some irresistible moral disease. Tlie heroes of these stories were amongst tlie aristocracy of their profession. They rejoice in the proud title ol esccirpe, the name givbil to the genuine assassin wiio niurders systemati cally by way of open proceedings, and not as a matter of occasional expediency. Below them are numerous classes of criminals,each devoted to some speciality, 1 ' and frequently displaying the same soil of skill which we admire in the artisan whose facility in liis own branch of work has become an instinct. For tlie most part, we recognize them as analogous to Eng lish criminals of different varieties, though pe culiarities of national custom open different modes of attack in the two countries. The /«(.sciii's,who are tlie most intellectual members ‘of tlie profession, are the swindlers, capable of auythine from cheating at cards to getting up sham companies,, M. du Camp mentions a cer tain ilitijiau, who called himself Comte• de Delair, professed to be the son of a general of the First Empire, and lived in tlie very best society on. the profits of skilful thefts and gambling. Another, a certain Diednoir, is at tlie present moment living in great comfort in a large Dutch town. Far below these are tlie francs bounjeok, who get admission into houses ’as beggars lor tlie purpose of stealing; tlie timers, or genuine pickpockets; shoplifters, who are subdivided into many classes, such as those who profess to buy, and take tlie oppoitunity of helping them selves under various pretences, and those who venture to break into shops at night; the foul utters, who steal -baggage oil' carts; and numerous others, whose special skill lies in robbing children, in changing mock jewels for genuine, in cheating restaurateurs, or in va ■ rious other departments of business. Between this rabble and tlie true assassin there is a care fully graduated scale of malefactors. The burglars'.--form-tlie lowest stage. The high est rank of these is Hie- carmbleurs, who use false keys. Above them are the so rejueurs, tlie descendants of the old highway men. M. du Camp describes one of the last survivors of these gentlemen, who is still in prison at Belle-Isle. Tils massive lower jaw, movable, eyes, retreating forehead and long powerful arms gave him, says M. du Camp, the appearance of a huge chimpanzee. Between the; sorrjueurs and the escarpes there still intervene . the sciomfeurs, who corresponij apparently to the English Carotters. They are, it seems,.rather more objectionable than their analogues,, from a liahit 01. depositing their vic tim in the river. Another pleasant invention empUived by these ingenious persons is an eel skin filled width saiiil; with this they can strike a lieavv blow, aiid-then, emptying out the sandj they have’the appearance of beiilg'totally: iilri anued.

Where ,lhe quarrel has been one merely between two j selfish dynasties, about a disputed succession or ; division of spoils, ora doubtful boiindaiyyttae. ; contest may be'quickly ended by the destfuraon of a hireling army, or by the bankruptcy or ■ discouragement of one or' both disputants. Where national antipathies or religious fanati : ci'sin enter into the"contest, the conditions are wholly different. Napoleon . achieved easy triumphs so long as lie fought simply against' the Governments ,and foe armies .of Austria, Prussia arid Russia. At Wagram lie defeated the last 'organized army of Austria, and tlie Aulic Council ’(Sued -for peace,j At ,Jena lie scattered the Prussian forces, and the King of •ff’rlissia submitted to his fate; At Friedland the Russians were; vanquished, and Alexander signedfoe‘treaty of Tilsit. 1 ; ~ On the other hand, French legions entered Spaihwith'hardly ja show Ofppi>bsition from the Spanish army, and Napoleon declared Ins brother. Joseph King. What followed? A six years*, war, and foe expulsion of the French; ’Russia was'next invaded for conquest. Tlie Greek priests preached a crusade, and tlie Rus sian people were aroused. What effect, then, had the defeat of Borodino, the slaughter of fifty thousand Russians, and the fall of Mos cow?,Were the Russian people conquered? No more tlian vve were at Bladensburg or Bull Rim. In 1813, tlie war against Napoleon be came, in Germamy a popular one. The Ger mail poets, preachers and orators touched the heart of the people.; Wiiat availed, then, tlie, victories of Lutzen, Bautzen and Dresden ? the unparalleledcamage of Leipsic? They but united all Germany in a combined effort to free tlie Fatherland. From' tlie first, the contest be tween England and France was .national'and popular.

How long and fiercely the Mohammedans fought to ex tend tlieir religious empire; how persistently the Crusaders rolled hack that tide of conquest, .and .struggled to-secure foe triumph of tlie Cross.
