ON FALLING IN LOVE
Mn. EDlT ' oll.—From the title of my subject,
I rim satisfied that I shall have the attention
of all young persons, and especially those of
"arrest sixteen." And by the way, there
might be an interest aWakked in the minds
of some of the old maids and bachelors They
still hope to find some one on whom to bestow
their heart's purest love. Now what is meant
by "fulling in love?" A Mr. Smith attends a
splendid party given by.otie of Iris friends, and
t at tlytt party be sees Miss Brown in her best
and latest style of habit, with ri , " eirenniter
, enOe'as beautiful as the Moon.' -Her beauti
ful black curls hnog . gracietully upon her snow

and laugh out in joy. !Her complexion is clear
and delicate: her nufe ie well formed, and she
moves like a fairy queen. PoCr fellow r how
his heart boats. Olt ! what an impression sIM
has made upon him. Ile thinks her too lovely
and pure for earth. Her bewitching smiles
charm him, and his poor. heart flutters before
her like the innocent bird in the spell of the
obarmer. He yields to the power of tire
chewier, for •he is . a Wounded bird. That
mighty. young man, who walked out in his
dignity and strength, is token captive without
a struggle,—ie may not think so, buthe has'
heard, the voice of the siren, and the spell
cannot be broken; for he bee fallen desperate

. lie seems to talio the posit ion. of a reformer.
Now, Ave wish to ask him in what ttrue refor

criminately of all the eustnms of sobiely? We
think not. The reformers. of the religious
world thought not, when'they.rMained all that

This is th e business of a reformer. lie, must'

.This fellow," said the skipper,'alluding to
Ben, is one of the best speelmene I have on

capital sailor, Ito has been everywhere in the
world and seen everything in or near, any port
where a vessel can put in, yet if we were to
rep anchor bi-morrow among the Tee-total
Islands, if there are any, Ben would manage
to get drunk within half-a-dozen hours after
being on shore, and to get done out of all his
money before returning to the ship. Ho has
been in all kinds of scrapes and • itNentures,

Tue linpus.—Nothipg contributes more to`
the elegance and refinement of a lady's ap
pearance than a beautiful hand. A well form
ed hand, white and soft, with tapering, rosy- ••
tinted fingers, and polished nails, is a rare •
gi't; but where natpre.has denied symmetry
of foim and outline, it is easy, by proper care
and attention, to obtain a delicacy of color
and a grace of movement which will place it
sufficiently near the standard of beauty .to
render it attractive. Cleves; should be worn
at every opportunity,' and ,these ought invert- ""

or mittens, altnough.a - pretty contrivance, are

gloves are considered hest, from the unctuous .
substances with which • they are prepared to
make the hands white and eon, but they. are
