No yonng woman ever looked so well to a sensible man, as when dressed in a neat, plain, modest attire —without.a single ornament about her person. She looks then as though she possessed worth in herself, and needed n 0 artificial rigging to enhance her value. If a young woman would spend as much time in cultivating her mind, training her temper, and cherishing kindness, mercy and other good qualities, as most of them do in extra dress and ornament to increase their peisonal charms, she *mild, at a glance, bo known among a thousand. liar character would be read in her countenance.

Friends &min the habit of warmly greeting their acquaintances up on the arrival of the passengertrains at some of the railway station houses. was only the other day that a young gentleman jumped from the cars at this place, rushed through the crowd toward a lady, seised her hand and gave her a hearty kiss; the report startled a coun try lass hard by, who exclaimed to her "feller," "Massy, Josh.' what on airth's gig wag on the keen P' Sportsman of New Jersey has a out which he has trained to accompany Aim on ,his hunting expeditions.

The following fro the London Cbarrt Journal, reminds : one of a beentiful poem ofErazA Coux, and provesfomance to be as rife now b.ti eter : "Among the presentations of her Majesty, at ore of the drawing rooms this season, was a young lady upon her marriage, and about whose nuptials a story is current of more than usual in terest in unromantic times. She is the daughter of a karonet, holding a dis tinguished potion. Among the suitors of this young lady, who is as pretty as accomplished, was one of very advanced years; but It was in v&in that all the allarements consequent upon the pod session of riches were set forth. 'rho fair maiden showed herself completely indifferent to the golden prize that lay at her feet, and in spite of the strong recommendation of "papa" it was un es ita t ingly reject ed. So far, therefore, everything was perfectly natural and unronunitie. But it seems that the gentleman, after his proposals had been declined, (of course with the usual pro testations of respect and esteem,) again sought an interview, and assured the lady that his attachment was not selfish —that ho was ready, et any sacrifice, to do tiny thing that would contribute to her happiness; and that, if her affections were fixed on any ono whose wealth might not be adequate to his good for tune, he was ready, by a settlement even to the extent of 100,000 pounds, to place her happiness in her own power. Such a proof of disinterested attachment was perfectly undeniable, and it is said that the young Inds pondered no much over it, that, like the recital of thheno's dan gers, it wrought u complete revolution of feeling. We do not pretend to know on what kind of " hint.' the venerable gentleman spoke again, but speak again he did, and a itlt so much rfiect that the happy day was soon named, and the nuptials in due course gelatinized, and the fine bride presented on her marriage to the Queen. The world gives, its usual generosity, an ahnost fabulous account to Mr. fortune, but it is eery well known that one item in it. is 81,500,000 rail way stock, and more than half of which is 'paying six per cent." Neck Broken in Kisoing.—Ofr Tuesday night, a girl of 17, ret.iding in Bridge gate, Glasgow, minted Catharine Burt, was brought to the Central Police Of having, according to the report given, had her peek fractured in a titnigglo arising from a young man Lav ing attempted to kiss her in her own d ome . No extra violence, it was said, had been used. Thu injury appears to be partial dialmontion of one of the ver tebrae of the neck, causing great diffi culty in respiration and swallowing, presumed to be from pressure on the respiratory nerve. She now lies in a d.ingertnis state.—X , ,rth Reciac.
