the famous hanging society, and: all the
eccentricities of the kingdom soon joined
it. Men, worn out with dissipation of all

the emotion of hanging: Hung up during

The three travellers reached Dover; and
stopped for trio night at a hotel. After a

that the docter should be hung with Mtn.
The latter consented, and the two were

PAINTING THE PACE.—Painting the face
is as common among the elite aristocracy
of Europe es it is with the Aborigines of
New Zealand, Australia, or America, and
with the same intent. Many gentlemen
"paint;" even officers in the army. The
practice is not, therefore, confined to the
female portion of the community, as some
persons imagine. Alhough red (rouge)
is now die favorite color, blue was the
fashionable tint a few centuries ago.—
iny said that all the Britons stained diem
selves with wood, which made their skins
of a blue color. The ladies in Japan
paint the face white and red, the lips pur
ple, with a golden glow; the teeth of a
Married lady are hi:aliened, and the eye
brows extirpated. The quantity of red
find white paint, under the name of rouge
and pearl white, manufactured in Paris,
amounts to some thousands of pounds an
nually.-4rt Journal.

It is g vulgar undo!' that politeness is on

Theenlatgenient of the Erie canal is now the

Violent Hall-storm.
A most violent and destructive hailstorm
occurred in Dinwiddie county, Va., on Wed
nesday week. A letter from Hatcher's run,
eight miles from Petersburg, says:
"The wind blew very severe, and the hail
tell for about an hour. It was fully as largo
as a walnut or partridge egg. The hail was
in many places 4 and 5 inches deep. It. in
many places, nearly ruined the wheat crop,
destroyed of all kinds of fruit, and in many
cases of young fruit trees, destroyed the trees
themselves. Severn of the trees in the yard
were blown down. I had also one 01 my negro
houses blown down."
In the county of Prince George. also, the
hail lay on the ground
. to tho depth of two
feet. Doubtless a good deal of damage was
done to the wheat, which is now heading
rapidly.

A Reminiscence of Kossuth.

of Kossuth, when he pronounced his fare•

down the cheeks of his bearded I - for:SON
when Kossuth bade them "Lases!" adieu
—will have been reminded, by the inci
dent, of the "Old Guard," who retained
their unanterving devotion to Napoleon to
the very latest moment. That moving
scene so often represented in pictures,
"Napoleon's Farewell to his Faithful,"
was, on the 15th of February, 1850, ,te•
hearsed before my eyes in living cohost.
They hung in silence on his every Word
that the echo of these well beloved and in.
.
spiring tones might long linger in their
souk. Nor did Kossuth forget to gaze
long and intently with his streamingeyea,
upon the countenance of each brave, come
radc there, to fix the features on hiS maine
ory. Profoundly agitated as he vvas,,vrith
a . trembling voice he spake these, words:
"Brothers! the first hard necessity of
my life, for me, was that to which we/
subjected, when constrained to abandon
my native soil. and my . noble nation-1-the

you, glorious remnants of the brave Hun*
garian army, and compelled by foretto de

as to witness this,. swear to me that ye
will not leave my bones to moulder in a
foreign soil, in the land of the barbarian
This ye will promise me, and this, aut I
convinced, ye will fulfil."
Here Count Ladislaus Vey,. with_ un
covered head, stepped up to Koasuth: and
said aloud in a strong and manly voica
"Great man ! who standest there pure
and spotless before the eyes of the world
—thou whom the Hungarian nation lion.

And all bared their heads, while hey
uplifted their hands to take the Oath,' and
and solemnly repeated, "Eskuzunk!"—
(We swear it.)
Kossuth kissed end embraced tie:ma - who
stood nearest to him. All pleased' towards
him to grasp his hand and bathe it with
tears. The old hussars strove mice more
to press the hem . of his mantle to their
lips. The whole group we, heart-read

and this is saying much—were moved to

farewell. The Count left many beautiful
