FUN, FACT & FANCY. . A Yousg Ladt Takes a Bath. A corres pondent of the Baltimore Republican gets out the following : Th bathing house for ladies, J at Cape May, is situated but a short distance from that for gentlemen, and through the open palings yon have faint glimpses of the Naiades who, it the water is still, are by no means still themselves, but keep up a perpetual squealing and splashing which frighten the crabs and fish fairly out to sea. Readers have, doubtless, heard ot the Georgia uniform a shirt collar and spurs. ' We saw a lady's dress of a simi lar character, admirably adapted for bathing purposes. This beautiful contrivance is a skeleton dress composed of three hoops, fas tened together at a distance of a foot apart by tape strings, the upper rim or hoop coming up to the waiBt of the wearer, and tho other hang ing by tho strings at the distance below which we have named. The young lady who wore this comfortable apparel, had thrown over it a light wrapper, which had been smoothed down in front, but was gracefully looped up or . lodged upon the upper hoop behind, present - ing a cool and graceful drapery a la Venus or the Greek Slave. Thns appareled our modern Venus started for tho bathing house, the "ob served of all observers." Some of the ladies who lingered behind, not being sufficiently im bued with a lore of the classic, sent after the lady and brought her back, making her con form rather more to modern notions. But the incident called out a hearty gttflaw from the unclassic males, and produced an extra amount cf squealing in the ladies' bathing department True. A writer in the Guernsey, Ohio, Times says : "Should ever the colored man be permitted to vote, the Locos will be the first to hug tho negro round the neck, ask him for his Tote, and drink his whiskey." "When Milton was blind he was married to a ehrew. Some one told him she was a rose. "I am no judge of colors," said Milton, "and it may be so, for I feel the thorns daily." Real flesh and blood in its natural state is a hundred times better than chalk and carmine. Fashionablo belles and would be beauties, can take this to curl their hair with. It is a popular delusion to think that an ed itor is a public bellows, bound to puff every thing and everybody who wants to see him. Therfhig man who'once saw the day when he "wouldn't associate with mechanics," is now acting as clerk to a manure wagon. VThen & man is willing to appear poor, he deprives penury of its sting. TERMS.
