Her gown, of beautiful silk, was tastefully trimmed, and *" dragged far behind her, bewildering her with its rustle smiths noise of its friction with the diriy, plobeian pavement, till, silly ^

creature ! she seemed to think herself some other than she was, a princess, perhaps— j and swelled and tossed her head with an ^ air of consequence. She wore a bst of richest Telvet, with d soft, light ostrich plumes flouting over it , and rare flower* adorning it within. It mnst hate Ci si— 'tis vulgar U> talk of costfine ladies ore iddiffermt to cost, or— would havi* us thinlfthey are. They ors indiffer- * ent, alss, to s-nnr coats.

A PLEASANT BEBEELLOH. I. was awakened last night, by a violer t j storm nf thunder and lightning, and «in-' < and rain. Hard draaming as I was. j had ] sense enough left to feel something moving , in the bed, «nd by the light i'rom a flash of ligntning, to my unspeakable hqrror I saw. crawling cvar the mattrns*, a "cobra dc cs- . pello." He reared bis beed when be Varna to my body, and slowly crawled on - to iny leg« ; and as l here was octbing ovar me but t thin cotton sheet, I could distinctly feel the co'd clammy body nf the vcnemouv rep. tile through the sheet. The beat of my body aeemod agreeable to the monster, m ' be roiled himself op there. 1 lay deed still ; I knew my life depended on my remaining | motionless ; for, had 1 moved a leg or au arm, lie would iostently have bitten me, ' aftvr which I could .not have lived many mlWu'er. A cold sweat ran in a stream ' BW'SJ. A cold sweat in stream t

flown my back ; I' was id an agcay of terror. Home uud friends, aad all that wn» t deav to md, rushed to tbe memory ; my t whole life pasted in review Wforn me; 1 I saw no way of escape, and 1 considered my i Boom sealed; evary flash of ligblniog show. , ed me my new bedfellow in all his loath, aomeres*. There the reptile lay, hut how Heaven knows ; to roe lbs time appealed interminable... When 1 had lain in , one position about three hours, my legs | became sore nud stiff from having been ■ kept so long motionless ; at ibis time 1 j, gave an involuntary shudder, which altrnC- j toll the notice of the reptile, llo raised , bit head about a foot high, thrust out hi* forked tongue, and looker) around him as «f ; for some livihg abject to Jirey upon. 1 now thought it was ail over with me. -1 prayed mentally, (for 1 dacerl not move my lips for fear of attracting notice,) for the forgiveness of my sins ; when. Heaven be praissd, the reptile unfolded liis roils and crawled rlowly away from off my limbs on the bed. down fa^' the bedpost to tbe floor, and theu left me. It has been said that I poverty makes a man arquaintr.1 with ' strange bedfellows ; it might be added, so) 1 doe* wandering iu foreign clinics. ""bkabtifcl WOMKS. Tbe Baroness de .Stanl confessed that -——v.- — * II

she would exchange half of her knowledge ,| personal charma, and consider them cheaply bought at that price. Ail women that it is beauty, rather than genius, which all generations of men bave worshipped iu t ho sex. Can it be wondered at then that so much of woman's rime and * attention should b* directed to tk» menus ' of developing end preserving that beauty 7 ' Women know, too, that when men speak ' of the intellect of womsu, they speak criti- j ' cailv, tamely, coldly; but when they como ' speak of tbe charms of a lieaoliml wo- • 1 man, both thsir language and their eyes | 1 kindle with tbe plow of enthusiasm which | ' shows tb-m to be profoundly, if not, iti- ; 1 deed, ridiculously iu earnest. It iv a part j of the natural sagacity of woman to know , ' all ll.is, and tbey therefore employ every ' j allowable art to become the goddess of i that adoratiuo. Preach to tbo contrary as we may I against tbo arts employed by women fori enhancing their beauty, there still elands I , tbe eternal fact that the world does not yet j prefer the society of an ugly woman of , genius to that of a beauty of less intellect- , ual ecquirt ownts. The world has yet allowed no Mfthsr mission to woman than to , be beautiful. And it would sevm that thn Indies of 'be present time are carrying this , idea of tbe world to greater extremes than , ever, for all women now to whom nature ^ ; has denied thn talismanic power of beauty | overcome this defect by the use of an eni atneliog process, called "Kroslt de Paris," 1 or, in plain English, "Parisian Enamel," " and which bat lately been'inirodueed into ' this country by a Fmiach chemist. With If the assistance of this new French trick or 1 a lady's toilet, female bean ly it dnttiued to 1 play a larger part io the admiration of man ■ and tbe amhltion of woman than all the * arts employed since her creation.

THE STOEI OF MT.VOXA. j ' j The story of Winona, which is osed •« , often in naming ships. anfl,whicb it no* j ( upon one of the gunboats in the navy is,, derived from a legend of northern New ; Hamphrirv. The legend it told as follows: , "Winofa w as a daughter of an Indian ch!ef, who was rescned from the hands of . ths tsvagps by a traveller nsmedTliornton, i whom eh* elopvd and whom she snbsoquent- | ly married. A few year- of forest life so , * a tried the hu-hsnd of Winona that lie con- j eluded to go back into socio I \ , md cnmmu, , mealed tb# fart to hie wife, wbo was so , . overcome by ibe announcement that she i killed herself by drinking tea (rum the - : nightshade berries. /Thornton after performing' his last sad rites for this d*vit-d | wit--, removed to Boston, where in the busy , world, he hoped to forget this unhappy oc- j ]
