v Crinolisb Jokk. At the recent sea-
son for masquerade' in Paris,', many attempts
were made to ridicule the prevalent tylo of
female attirex' The most succeasful ob is thus
described : '"At another of thett balls, much
merriment was excited by th4ppearance of
a young gentleman of about twenty years of
age slender, fair and guiltless of beard who
had attired himself in the extreme of-tbe pre-
v&iUa'g lalhMWa$..;-l i)n &t4tead
considerable distance behind it, be wore a ti
ny pink satin boimet, stuck on the end of im
mense steel pirs, about half a yard long, fas
tened firmly into the back hair, put on for the
occasion ; his dress was, of course, enormous-
y wide when he entered the ball room. Ma
king his way to the centre of the saloon, he
proceeded, by means of some ingenious hid-
den mechanism, to develop the ample folds of 1
his skirts, until his gown literally assumed the
dimensions of a balloon, filling the ball room
entirely, from wall to wall, and driving all
the company into the comers, and forcing
them out into the adjoining rooms.
Untimely Demise. Last Thursday was
to have been the day for the celebration of
nuptials of Miss Hannah C , a lady of su
perior refinement and ability, of the vicinity
of Baltimore, and Mr. V- B . of
New York, a gentleman of reputed ability as Bue went, and bought six. Blankets? Blan
a poet and scholar. The invitations had been j.cts for a gong v Well, she would just have
gotten up in fine gilt, and sent to the several
riends, inviting them to the marriage. On
the Tuesday preceding the appointed day, the
bride remarked to her intended that something
seemed to tell her that she would never bc-
come the bride of her choice that she would
wed the realities of eternity. The groom re-
plied to her with levity, to dispel her gloom ;
but on the following day she felt so indispo-
scd as to take her bed, from which time her
strength and' faculties began seemingly to
wane till Thursday morning, at ten o'clock
thc hour appointed for the nuptials when she
breathed her last, without having evinced the
slightest bodily pain from the first hour of ha r
illness !
Courtship Extraordinary. A pretty girl
stepped into a store where a spruce joung
man, who had long been enamored but dared
not speak; stood behind the counter selling
dry goods. In order to remain as long as pos
sible, she cheapened everything her eyes
more intent' upon him than upon the goods.
At length 6he said : "
"I believe you think I am cheating you.
1 "Oh no," said the youth; "to me you are
always fair.'
Well," whispered the lady, blushing as
she laid an emphasis on the word, "I would
tint star no lorn? barpainincr if you were not so
j o o
clear." -'' ' -
' The next time they met.it was for the pur
pose of looking at dry goods of another de
scription; such as go to make up the sum to
tal of domestic arrangements, and also to as
certain where a certain 'squire lived.

Ten days before the Banks suppeuded Jones

Jones was saved at that time.,. Most un
happily, as it Hirned out, the banks,. instead
of expanding three millions, curtailed five ;
and instead of getting.; poor Jones out of the

Her eyes fell on a piece of muslin de laiuc
which would make such lovely dresses for the
children. She priced it dirt cheap; she
bought it. The clerk actually forced her to-
ward a pile of winter dresses ; they were pos

herself, the other for Maria. Fearful of spen
ding more, she ran out of the shop. A little

shillings, and their drawing-room carpet all
in holes, while poor Jones' smoking-room had
no carpet at all ? She bought a carpet.
Then she went home. Yes, quite straight
home, only stopping twice, once to buy some
gtufT for underclothing for herself and the
girls, and once to pick up some lovely mate-
rial for curtains, which, like everything else
was being given away.
At the door of her home she met Jones,

" Now," said the farmer "whin you are
called on to marry a couple, ycu never expect
a lets sum than three di liars, and ycu some
times get ten dollars ths for a few minuets'
service,"
"Poch!" replied the doctor; "I would
agree to give you half of my next marriage feo
for a bushel of potatoes.'
"Very well ."said the farmer; I'll tako
your offer and send ycu a bushel of potatoes."
A few days afterwards the doctor was called
upon to splice a loving couple at Dogtown, a
place about four miles from where ho lived

How Ladies Dress ia Eoessj
A Kansas letter writer, who recently came
down the Missouri on the stcan er Omsh, sajs:
" At Atchison we took cn a young Kansas
belle whose only aitendent was a young Mis
souri blood. Tie young lady was ap- s:ently
drecsed in the latest agony aud style, cf fah- -sion;
the chaste straw hat, the innumerable
flounces and wide-spreading hoops cf her i?av
striped sub: aic&s, sei on uer coiumendine fig
ure very gracefully. Her statue tall as Bv
ren says, I hate a dumpy woman. But the
richest scene in relation to this young and
blooming belle was behind the curtain, and is
to come yet. At Leavenworth our fair, one
left us and as she was standing on the bank.
' casting a long, and lingering lock' btck, we
were tempted to admire her delicately turned
ankles ' who can resist a nicely laced gater
or a peeping ankle ? when, behold ? thm
hadn't any stockings on t I am unable to
tay what the fashion is in Kansas vhether
it is fashouablc for ladies to .go without ho.
or Dot, but certain . I am that the finest dressed
one whom I saw in the Territory' did'm vs
