BEAUTY i3LBEPINIG;
lIT LIEUT. G. W. PATTEN, U. S. Anil?.
She slept !; : Alm* her arm of snow
Her cheek of rose serenely laid,
While wavy curls heav'd to and fro,
At every 'sigh ter breathings made;
The very breeze which pasted along
Went o'er her couch with gentle air,
As loth to wake with pinion strong,
The thing of joy that stumber'd there.
She slept! The thin transparent lid,
Curr'd calmly, o'er her eye of blue;
But though the earthly orb was
The spirit light still struggled din?,
-While o'er her lip unconscious wrought
A quiv i ring pulse which went and-came,
As if some dream renewl the thought'
The waking hone had ceaa'd to name.
She slept! And as the wandering rays
Of moonlight kiss'd her foiehead pale,
—Bright truantal nothing loth'to gaze -
On charms Which night forgets to veil !
Be marvell'd not, why shapes of air,
—Blest works which once in Heaven had shone
Enraptur'd with a fora so fair, .
For Woniairs home had left their own.

This important and privileged period in the life of
spinsters' has ended; it has gone out with_ the old
year, and will not return again for thnie annual
changes, dUring which, {technically speaking) many
"an old maid's corner" will be turned, and many
bachelor's rosy hope of love and.conjugal;devotion
will be changed into cold forgetfulness; or cletermin-
M celibacy. Arid why ! For want of courage to
a pop the question ! "—Surely it is a false delicacy
Which forbids the would-be wooer from following in
the steps of his great progenitors, and an equally fas
tidious feelim which' prevents the would-be wooed
from taking advantage of the time-honored permis
sion afforded by the Leap Yor. Alas, for the timid
ity of the gentle part of creation ! Many a maiden
has lost a good husbPnd by 'her sensitive modesty,
and many a man has test a good wife, because the
lady could net say likr. Juliet to her Romeo,
If that thy bent of love Le honorable,
Thy, purpose,, marriage, send me word to-morrow."
It seems an easy matter to conjugate the verb .to
love,' through all the persons and tenses, and yet how
often could love' is the unfortunate stopping place,
leaping over love and 'thou fovea.' with precipitate
impulse, as if forgetting the necessity for regular con
jugation, or that the important 'we love' is 'the con
"umation devoutly to be wished.
) But we have no compassion for the loitering bach
elor, who has n i7 ind of his own: who, believing
that
'That the world all before him, whereto choose,'
permits 'diversity to confound election,' and, like a
butterfly, hovers from flower to flower, unitaiiii;ing
which is fairest or most meet to place in his own bo
som, plodding on unloving and unloved to the end
of his lonely pilgrimage. We would pronounce an
anathema against these wayfarers in this world of
woman's loveliness—these pretended worshippers at
the shrine of her beauty. They should get them to
amonastery, hide their' face beneath a cowl, and ex
patiate their offences by a life-time residence in gloomy
seclusion.
We have said that Bissextile is ended ; it has van
ished out of being with 1040, with all its privileges,
and will not return again until 1844, a period which
will be fraught with changes to all conditions of men
throughout the whole of Christendom. The cher
ished-anticipations of many a bashful bachelor and
buxom widower are prostrated with the departure of
this Leap Year—the fair one of their affections has
not proposed, and they are left to sorrow over, the
trials' of the heart, chaunting perchance with dirge
like melancholy, a requiem for departed hope. There
is too much shade to the picture, sci turn we to light.
Nil de.sperandum ! Never was there better advice
given in Latin or English.' The lover should never
despair, be he bold or bashful—be' he widowed or a
bachelor; there is
CO
A critical minute in
Ev'ry man's wooing, when his misstress may
Be won, which if he carelessly neglect
To prosecute, he may wait long enough
Before he gain - the like opportunity."
Therefore take the tide at its ebb, and do not observe
Much ceremony in presenting the petition, for suits
of love are n6t like suits of law, and cannot well be
Carried from term to term without infringement or
prohibition. Delays are Proverbially dangerous—
they may have proved so in the past year, but be not
discouraged, ye unmarried ones I The 'pairing day'
accordirig to the calendar, thanks to St. Valentine,
has trot arrived. Cheer up, then, look forward to the
14th of February, and despond no longer. There's
time enough yet, provided you take the old Father by
the forelock,.and profit by our advice. Pop the ques
tion on St. - Valentine's day, honestly and manfully,
and &Pend upon it you will speed well with your
wooing.
The novelist James understood the natural feelings
Of woman when he drew .his character of Isadore
Falkland, who, being asked by an old lady 'why she,
who had refused. three good 'Offers, did not marry V
replied, promptly, 'because I do not think it worth
while to marry without love ; and if the man. that I
_could love, does riot choose to propose to me, it is
Oita impossible thatl can propose to him.' Putting
Leap Year, therefore, out of question, it is the duty
of gentlemen to make the proposal, and quite impos
inble for the ladiesi to propoee to them. Learn, there;
foie, ye lords of creation, the right Conjugation of the
verb 'to love,' end, above all things, remember St.

In these daYs, when boarding schools for young
ladies are devoted to the fashionable ologies of the
day—such as chonchology, ornithology. ic4byology
zoology, and "nob like,- we propose an additional set
euce, as a finishing touch to Young ladies' elk:cation,
viz : Spinology. Our grandmothers of ohieri time,
Who made good wtves for patriotic men that achieved
our independence, knew how to spin. They were,
too, `expert at weave-ology ; and as to citok43logY,
none of the learned ancients could go ahead of them.
As a consequence of all this, they enjoyed good health,
and such things as dyspepsia and consumption were
seldom known. But in modem times those sciences,
so honorable to the matrons of the Revolution, have
gone out of date. A lamentable degenerazy, both
physical and moral, has followed. Then the coon.
tag had women, now we belie none. Females have
all turned ladies.
If our fashionable schools cannot be included to es
tablish departments in spinology, weaveology, and
the like, we would suggest that some worthy inatronl,
—if a number qualified for the business can be found,
—should go into our cities and towns and I set up
spinning schools to teach young ladies—not how to
spin street yarn ; this art they have generally achiev
ed already ; but good substantial wool and linnet', in
a work-womanlike manner. This should be prepar
atory to a High School for teaching the healthy and
ingenious art of Weaving; and when they have be
come proficients at both, a good knowledge of Cook
ology should entitle them to a regular diploma, with
the honorary degree of F. W.—Fit for Wives.—

Probably the oldest city in the world, still occu
pies the place it occupied in the days of Abraham;
and though it has, no doubt, seen many vicissitudes,
its population is still very considerable, and its trade
is very extensive. Damascus Is called by the Ori
entials 'a pearl surrounded by emeralds.' Nothing
can be more beautiful than its position, whether ap
proached from the side of Mount Lebanon, from the
Desert to the east, or by the high road train the north
from Aleppo and Hamah. For many miles the city
is girdled by fertile fields, or gardens as they are
called, which being watered by rivers and sparkling
streams, give to the vegetation, consistingprincipally
of olive trees, a remarkable freshness and beauty.
Though the trade of Damascus is very , considera
ble, it has no English establishment within its walls.
More than one has existed, but it has not been found
to answer; and the trade that has been carried for
English account, is either by French, Italian or na
tive houses. Of all the cities of the East, Damascus
is probably the most oriental—the city which has
undergone the fewest changes. The European cos
tame is scarcely ever seen; and with few exceptions
I believe the Frank settlers have adopted the. Syrian
dress. There is at Damascus a tribunal of commerce
for the settlement ,of business disputes. It consists
V twelve persons—namely, nine Musaulmans, two
Christians, and one Jew. .The proportion is inot ve
ry fairly arranged with a reference to the numbers of
the population of the different religious bodies; but
one of the, principal Christian merchants assured me,
that on the whole they were tolerably satisfied with
the decisions of the tribtual, and it was seldom the
Mahomedan majority showed any disposition to act
unfaringly to Christians litigants.
The Jewesses.—Fontaines asked Chateatibriand
if he could assign a reason why the women of the
Jewish race were so much handsomer than the
man;' to which Chateaubriand gave the following
truly poetical and Christian one: u The Jewesses;"
he said, u have escaped•}the curse which alighted up
on their fathers, husbands-and sons. Not a Jewess
was to be seen among the crowd of priests and rah-
We who insulted the Son of God, scourged him,
crowned him with thorns, and subjected him, to ig
nomy and the agony of the cross. The women of
Judah believed in the Saviour and assisted him and
soothed him under afflictions. A woman of Betha
ny poured on his head precious ointment which she
kept in a vase of alabaster. • The sinner anuointed
his feet with perfumed oil, and wiped with her hair.
Christ on his part extended his mercy to the Jew
esses. He raised from. the dead the son of the wi
dow of Nein and Martha's brother, Lazarus. He
cured Simon's mother-in-law, and the women who
touched the hem of his garment. To the.Simara
tin women he was a spring of living water, and a
compassionate judge to the women In ednlttly.--
The daugtters of Jerusalem wept ovet him; the ho
ly women accompanied 'him to Calvary, brought
balm and spices, and weeping sought him in the
sepulchre. u Woman, why weepest thou i" His
first appearance, after his resurrection, was to Mary
Magdalene. He said to her, u Mary." At the
sound of his voice, Mary Magdalene's eyes were
open, and she answered, u Master." The reflection
of some very beautiful ray must have rested Q n the
brow of the Jewess.

0, misery indiscribable! ' '
By an accident we yesterday stood, with chill'd
veins and staring eyes, witnessing a spectacle of this
kind.' WC were in company witlva physician at a
moment when he was called upon to administer relief
to the victim. In a corner of the room we found
the tortured wretch, crouching and peeping fearfully
through ithe rungs of a chair, at a swarm of flying
snakes, which he said were darting through the room
in ell directions. Bloated terror was in his cotinte
nanc,e. He sprang froth the corner and flew from
one position to another; in agonizing'alarm. Devils
were pursuing him—behind, before, above and below,
and all around him objects of. terror and danger ap
peared, and instruments of death menaced) him on
every band. His eyes , seemed starting from their
sockets. His exclamations were so full of misery
that the heart ached to hear them. Then again his
fit assumed another form, and he ran about the room
jumping over chairs and calling to us to see him walk
upon the ceiling. Their he raved for liquor,iscrearn
a aloud, cursed the world and his own istence,
demanded brandy with wild gesticulation, d again
I re
sunk into grief end tears, complaining that all the
world was leagued against him and even de *ls were
employed to persecute him. Suddenly he 11 into
a sort of waking trance. — He was lifted on he bed,
and there he lay, grasping at the air, s ch bor.
rible contortions of countenance as made oar flesh
creep upon our bones. {
The unfortunate wretch has recovere4 as our
friend, the physician, declared danger to be pt when
we left him, but who may corm a conceptioof his
anguish endured during that horrid paroxysm . Years
of the severest trials and misfortunes' shouldilbe con
sidered luxurious ease in comparison with one hour
of such frightful torment of soul and body. I If the
condition of eternally condemned spirits ma, be-
rc,re
vealed to mortal comprehension, surely the iserable
victims of this malady experience some foretaste of
the sinner's doom. 111 the delight/3'd the 14ichana
ban through long years of gaiety cannot repay him
for even one of these frightful attacks.- , -The victim
seems for a time abandoned into the possession of
devils. All that is admirable in his nature seems to
leave him, and you look upon a spectacle of demi
damnation.' Pity, pain, disgust, terror and profound
sorrow are the emotions which are called forth by
such a sight. What the absolute horror of the con
dition' may be, it is notlikely any may conceive save
toe victims; themselves. The misery of night-mare
perhaps in some faint degree resembles this extraor
dinary convulsion of the human system. How must
the wretches envy, and how happy must they deem
all those who know nothing of the terrible disorder !
How must they pray, while returning to consciousness
'to be relieved forever from such danger again. How
must they curse the fiery liquid that has poiscined
their blood and robbed their hearts of every; kindly
sympathy belonging to humanity !

The great pageant of interring , the remains of Na.
pleat, in the,lnvalides took place on Tuesday, 15th
December. The whole line of the procession from
the batiks of the Seine to the Hotel' des lovalides was
adorned : On both sideit with military trophies, and a
more magnificent pageant, all the accounts agree in
saying, has never been witnessed, even in Paris.
From four in the morning, undeterred by the coldest
day that has been experienced during the present
winter in France, tlformands proceeded to the sweets(
advantageous positionir ‘hich different localities pre
sented for the viewingl of the procession.
''At nine o'clock the first gun was fired, '..on the
banks of the Seine, at Courbevei, where a park of
artillery was stationedl This became the signal for
the commencement of the proceedings of , the day.
From the temple; erected un the left bank of the river,
the Abbe Coquereau and a numerous clergy, in fall
canonicals; then issued and proceeded towards , the
steamer La Dorade, which had been brought close up
to a wooden esplenadeforminga com.nunicatlon be
tween the shore and its deck. His Royal Highness
the Prince tie Joinville met them as they approached
between two lines of troops and, after the exchange.
of salutations, turned towards the vessel lined by the
sailors from La Belle Finale, a body of whom pro
ceeded to raise the cofln, and transported it to the
temple, the priests going before chaunting, accurding
to the usage of the Catholic church. The remains
of the Emperor , were deposited there for - iwo hours,
the religious rites which were there performed, having
lasted thus long. Thelimmense concourse of people
who were assembled ati this spot, viewed this portion
of the proceedings in selemn silence, the roar of ar
tillery alone sounding,
,through the atmosphere.
- At an early hour, the immense amphitheatres erect
ed on each side of the avenue leadingfrom the'quay
to the principal entrance of the Hate! des Invalides,
began to receive those Whom fortune had favored with
tickets, and although the number of tickets delivered
amounted to 30,000, there was ample accommoda•
Lion for at least 10,000 more.
tlSAnDxsra,
At a little before one the head of the procession
was seen c 'ming slowly forward, and the sight be
came gradually more and more beautiful. Here it is
necessary to give a short description of the ground
leading from the quay to the principal entrance of
the Invalides. It consiats in a long straight avenue,
at the bottom of which, with its back to the water
stood the colossal statue of the emperor; the avenue
was lined with, the statues of the principal monarchs
that France hds produced, and that immortality has
already claimed as her own. These stood in the fol-.
lowing order
• It , certainly was a noble idea to make Napoleon
pass through this long line of heroes and of kings,
who seemed, as it were,to welcome the mighty dead—
the equal of the highest in rank, the superior of the
most celebrated in renown, to the illustrious asylum
chosen for his mortal remains.
At length the car was seen—the mighty car, drawn
by 16 black horses, covered with gold housings—the
car brilliant beyond compare, and yet neither deficient
in taste nor void of mournful semblance. And here
perhaps was the most beautiful sight of the day. The
central road filled with troops, and the procession ad
vancing between the collossal statues, just described,
separated from one another by arms emitting a lurid
light, while the back ground was filled on either idde
by the multitude shut up in the immense amphithea
tres provided for the occasion, and by numerous
masts, from which tri-c.olered streamers were grace
fully floating in the air, formed a eight replete with
such beauty and interest, that g those who saw can
surely ne'er forget.'
As the car passed, each head Was übcovertd; and
although the shouts of Vive,Napoleon ! Vive l*Em•
pereur !* joined in the cries of • Vive le Roil . Vive
Prince de Joinville! were few and far between, a
certain degree of emotion prevailed, and many an eye
was suffused with tears.
Some sensation was excited by a body of noncom
missioned officers on horseback, 87 in number bearing
flags with the names of 04 87 departments of France,
including Algeria. These 'flags were surmounted by
a gold eagle with out-stretched wing, and gave to
the passing scene the air of a Roman triumph. The
foremost of this body was the officer beanng the flag;
representing Corsica, the birth place of Napoleon.
The car was immediately preceded by the Prince
of Joinville, on horseback, in the uniform of captain
of the navy, attended by his staff, and accompanied
on each side by 200 of the tailors of the Belle Poole,
the frigate eespatched by the French Government to
St. Helena, to bring home the remains of the Em
peror.

From a late Foreign Journal.
TUE SKELETON HUSBAND.
The Baron of Langen Katzbak was,in every as
specs, a rather remarkable specimen 'of humanity,
for he was long in every sense of the word. Ile
had, like all other German Barons, a long genealogy;
he wore a long pig tail; his boots were of greitt
length; he told long (immensely !Ong) stories; ho
was fond of drawing the long bow; measured (row
head to foot he was at least seven feet tighl; ha
smoked a long pipe for a long time together, aldhie
whirrs were as long as a man-o'-war ' s steameil; he
had long arms, long legs, a long nose, a long purse,
and (though sometimes given to day dreaming) a
long head. In short, whichever way you viewed
him, he was long ; and certes, it 'will be very, long
ere we see his like again.
The Baron of Langen Katzbak had a daughter
a fair maiden of eighteen, beautiful es an eastern •
sprink as it lights up the valley of Roc.habad ; and
I venture to be thus poetical, because' she was in ve
ry sooth, one of those sunny creatures whose smile
teaches the heart to find out whole mines ot,
She had long flaxen ringlets ; dark blue eyes; a fair.
yet warm complexion; lips like dewy 'rosebuds
(thornless ones!) a tournure absolutely perfect;
and a grace that made you marvel exceedingly, how
she could possibly be the daughter of so elongated
sire. So it, was, however; and Ido not, in this •
place feel bound to withhold the fact, that she had
—what, I hope, few young: ladies are unprovided
with—a lover. The gentleman who had been so
fortunateas to have earned this appellative was of
excellent family, but ungifted with an overabsuidence
of the precious metals. To make up for this defi.
ciency, he was brave, of manly depordnent, ardint,
accomplished, and a tried adorer of the lovely Alice
of Langen Katehak ; his own name and style being,
Count Ernest Von Slywinkcl.
The Baron had, for a long time, tolerated the via- ,
its of the Count from a settled conviction, thai u
his pedigree (to say nothing of his poverty) showed-
only thirty-two Counts against forty-six Barons, he
could not have the audacity to aspire to his &ugh
ter's hand. Ile therefore made him free of his cas
tle, and did not disguise,the pleasure he took in tws
society ; fur 'Ernest was one of the merriest compan.
ion, in the world; told capital stories, was never at
a loss for bon mot; loved practictil - joket, could
dance all night; hunt, smoke, fight, and drink Rha
nish (if he most) with any man.
As Alice was rich she had of course many admir
ers; and it was shrewdly suspected, that the hump
backed Prince Shortstuck was,the elect of the b'aron's
will. The Prince '
, stood four feet odd in his boats,
and bad a. face like an ogre; but then; his riches
were scarcely calculable, and they were sufficient of
course.,to cover a multitude 'of deformities. Now
as the Prince had found the young lady (much to
his astonishment) rather refractory, he, one fine moms
ing in June, when the sun • •
is 4-.—made the black forest green," •• • "",
walked 'at once into 'the baron's apartment,' and
throwing his dumpy body and his long golden spurs
upon tho sofa, thus addressed the longitudinaUylig.
