Soft triangle of straw and lace
That curves around my blushing face
With such a goy, bewitching grace,
No mortal man would dream , your place
Was on my head
Your airy touch can scarcely press
The.shape from curl or flowing tress,
So light, so next .to nothingness,
You surely could not well belese
And be a.honnet.
A bit of straw adorned with leather,
A yard of lace, a spray, of heather,
some bugles and a tossing festher,
There trifles shaken all together
- Thus were you made.
No cape with a starchy netting
No buckram .crown projects behind ;
For streamers flutter in the ' , acad.
Where flows, in silken mesh confined,
My Water-fall;
Yet most - your dainty form I.prize,
As sweeping back upon mine eyes,
It lets the drinkled hillocks rise,
Where undeirutiath in ainiinsh lies
M•y pair of mice. •
`But when rough autumn winds sweep
And.alliour laces shade aghast,
Then can you shield me : liana the blast,
And round my neck a shelter cast,
To keep me warm.?
Alas, a summer friend you are,
And only kind when skies are blue;
Iflcug have known the saying. trne-4
Oliffriends are better than the new,
When trouble comes.
So ore •the dog-day heats be pail,
Let,,me your flimsy glories spread ;

But the r pliepqrnena of, .a_ woman with a
long beard, is extremely rare. A woman
is mentioned, by. Fmsebius . Nicerimber

her. middle. There, was, also, a. woman
at Copenhagen, alluded to by Bartholin.

sarcophagus-which-ecintained the head
of Charles I. was lately opened, the hair
was found to=-'haver attained.> of marvel

Considered as an iinpossihility:
Peter Measles' relistes'tiikt, at a place
named " Holy Rock,". 'upon the confines
of Pisa, a girl, was born completely Coy
ered with hair. The circumstance' is
attribrited to the rani that tier' ininher
was in'the habits of indulging in morbid
rumination on a picture..of St.,:fohn'the
Baptist, in his hairy reit:dent, that hung
at her bedside. In 181.5, Ituggieri, gaVe

seven, who, from ,shoulders to knees,
was covered with soft, black, woolly
hair, "like that of a poodle dog." In
.1829, a man..was seen at Ave, by a mem
ber of an embassy to, that region, who
was covered with . hair froth head to,foot.
On hie face, nose and ears it .was eight
inches 11ng, and four or five hushes on
the ahoulders and breast. Fry", the tra
veller,,saw a Fakir who had hair, on his
breast measuring
. sixteen inches. Oli

Lowosvrry.;--Galen, one of the most,
distinguished physicians among 'the an
cients, lived very sparingly after the
age of twenty-eighyand died in his hug;
drld Wed' fortieth year. Ketigein, who
never tasted spirit or wiue, and .worked
,har a his life, mac e a"hnodred and
eighty-five years. Jenkins,w,pOor York
shire;fisherman,, who lived pa ,the coats

,est, diet; was one hundred,aod,sixty-nine
yeamold when. he died. Old Parr lived
to!it.hubdred and ninety-Arse; his diet
'being milk, cheese, whey, small beer,
and coarse bread. The karorite diet of
PriintisCW, who lived twone
hun
;ured and forty, was Wa s bread, and but
'ter; and baked apples. • Ephraini Praid,
'of SiiuVetititry, MasiachiisettS, who died
ageigotre !Mara and 'seventeen, lived
, chieflf 'Milk; and whin- that 'in small
quantity; his soh Michnil, by similar
means; lived to be ti hiindieill and three
years old Father Cult, 'a Methodist
cleigYinan, died last at the age of
one hundred and five, the main diet of
t.
his life 'having been saltod swine's flesh
:(bacon) an dbread made' of Indian meal.
'From these statements," nine general
readersiout•often will jump to the con
'elusion that :milk is "healthy," as are
'baked apples-and bacon. _ These conclu
'siowdo not ,legitimately. follow. The
,inference that can be safely drawn
`is from Lilo only, fact ru iping through
all, these, t ciises,that plain food and a
wife otsteady-labor tend to a great. age.
