Of course, when the was off, a cap for the head was needful, in fie absence of natural hair. This was commonly made of white linen, or of black 6.1k velvet At the same time all, the old and the ynung, filled either their wigs or their natural hair with powder ; and to make the powder stick, they made free use of pomatum, or in the absence thereof, of a tallow candle. Of course, also to retire to bed without wearing a night cip, to defend the pillow case from tallow and flour, was a great indecorum ; and no gen tleman was considered well prepared for company until the cape of his coat, as well as the covering of his head was well pow dered. Will any now say, that a change in the fashionable attire of the seventeenth century was an immorality, or something undesirable ? Nevertheless, such is the force of habit, and the power of prejudice, that many of the good old people fifty years ago thought those who chose to change their attire worthy of ccclcsiast'cal discipline, as some of the Bloomt rites are now thought descrv ing of excommunication. In those days of ancient customs, it was deemed quite orthodox for the ladies to wear cambric cap3, half a yard high, surmounting a cushion on the head of six inches of matted horse hair, over which the hair of the forehead was combed up. and tied back. They woro articles of matted hair, or wool, upon their hips, called buJmps, which rose beneath their low waisted stays of whalebone, like a hussar saddle, large enough for a child of six years to rido upon ; and the skirts of their gowns were extended by a hoop three feet in diameter. To pass a common door it was requisite to elevate one side of the hoop with the hand. When these fashions began to change, not a few preachers thought it to be their duty to warn their hearers against new, uncouth fashions in dress, and persons given to fashion and change! Bloomerism is now probably just as censurable, as was the change from wigs and powder to natural hair; from stays down to the hips, to short waists ; and from gowns cxpan led by l oops to sack skirts, which neither d'fngjra Tier expose the lower limbs of the body, inn 8. nrst power Remembrance of the voices beard within this solemn hour.

Yet, no Oberon no Titannia dwelt thcre ; but long ago, where there are now some ruinous remains of old houses, and an uncouth new one, stood the first frame house of the lower valley of the Ilousatonic. It was inhabited by the last Indian who maintained the name of Chicf,and from passed him to the first Miss ionary to the tribe. There Kirkland, the late honored President of Harvard College, was born, and his genial and generous na ture received its first and ineffaceable im- prcssions. lennant, unsnown to lame, succeeded the Missionary. The Indian dwelling fell to decay ; and the property has now passed into the hand of a poet who, rumor says, proposes trans forming it into a villa, whose occupancy will give to it a new consecration. Just before its final high destiny was revealed, there dwelt there a rustic pair, who found out rather late in life, that Heaven had decreed they should wear to gether the conjugal yoke. That Heaven had decreed it, no one could doubt who saw how well it fitted, and how well they drew together. They had one child a late blossom,and cherished as such. Little Mary Marvel would hare bees spoiled, tut there was on it for half an hour, replied with touch ing frankness "Mother, I can sec nothing there but Caroline Mitchell !

Julius was an extraor dinary boy, and not because he Was sick ly and could do nothing else, (not uncom mon grounds) was destined for a liberal education. Strong of heart and strong in body, he succeeded in everything, and without being a charge to his father. He went through college, was graduated with honor studied law; and when Mary Mar vel was about 19, he came home from his residence in one of our thriving cities, for a vacation, being full of legal business. His first visit was to the Marvels, where he was received with as much warmth as in bis father's " home As ho left the Mary-Marvel's contained all that I have enumerated, it would be just the reverse of Pandora's box having every good, but one curso that affected all." "Bear Julius, I can not bear to bear you talk so of Mary. I expected you would like her so much. I t hoped . She is so pretty, so lovely she is fit for heaven." " She may be, Anna I do not doubt it; but she is very unfit for earth. What has her good, devoted, sensible, well in formed mother been about ?

He was true to himself and true to his wife; and at the risk of shocking our lady readers, we muat betray that after the wedding ring, nazen's first gift to Mary was 'The Principles of Physiology applid to the preservation of Health, and the Improvement of Physical and Mental Education ; by Andrew Combe, M. D.' This book (which should be studied by every mother in the United States,) he accompanied by a solemn adjuration, that she should study and apply it. He did not stop here. After his marriage he bought two riding horses mounted his bride on one and himself on the other, and thus performed the greater part of his journey to Indiana only taking a rail car for convenience or a steamer for repose. And, arrived at his western home, and with the hearty acquiescence of his wife, who only needed to know the right to pursue it, she begun a physical life in obedience to the laws laid down by the said oracle, Andrew Combe. Last fall, six years since marriage, he brought his wife-and two children to visit his Eastern friends.

Through a life prolonged beyond the ordinary limits, Ann Bailey retained her singular habits, and her masculine acoa tremcnts. She lived with a son by her first marriage, but was accustomed to wander about the country, received by all as a privileged visiter, and suplpied with food and clothing according to her need. She seldom failed, whenever there was a muster of the militia, to attend, armed like a soldier, and march in the ranks. "Not a man of them would have put her out," said the General to mo, in recount ing the narrative.

From remote ages,a traditionary opinion has prevailed among the rude nd civi lized too people of all nations, that tho moon influenced the weather. A few years ago.the French astronomers reported against this opinion as a fallacy, and the question was thought to be settled, but in the July number of the American Journal of Science and Arts, Mr. J. W. Alexan der contributes short article on metero logical coincidences, in which he states Ba the result of a long continued series of ob servations, that the third day before tho new moon regulated the weather on each quarter-day of that lunation, and also characterized the general aspect of the whole period. Thus, if tho sew noes happened on the 26th of May, 1831, tha term d iy was the 24th of May the weath er on the 24th of May determined what was to bo on the 26th of May, and on the 3d, 11th and 13th of June, the quarter Jays respectively of that lunation." This is an important discovery, and shows that the influence of the moon is appreciable contrary to the generally received opinion among the learned. To Soften Hard Water.
