Tas Express Evoexia.—Without being by any weans the perfect bevuty her flatterers de- clare hor to be, the Empress is certainly one of the loveliest looking women that could be found. Her foce is lighted up with such an innocent, gentle and vivacious expression, and 2 smile of such exceeding sweetness as reuder her pextectly charming. Her manner is at once graceful, dignified and gracious; she luoks absulutely radiant on a public oceasion, and performs her part so perfectly and with such 4 look of absolute happi that she seems not only as though she had been born to the station to which her singular fortune had raised her, but appears beside her impassable and undemonstrative r, as though she was'soine sovereign in her own it who had espoused sume men of hamble and sought unconsciously to atone for his comparatively cold and ungracious manner by the overflow- ing of Ler own royal and native courtesy, And yet to see her small, sweet, but pale and weary looking face at other times one would say that she had already entered upon that destiny of sorrow of which the line of pain across her brow would almost seem to be na- ture’s own prophecy. Paitoprxa —A correspondent of the Taun- ton Gazette writes from Berlin the following account of this game as practiced among the Germans :—Here, when a couple oe philopenas, the object of each is not mai to be the first to pronounce the eommon wi at their next meeting, but with the exchange, the sport has verge . The after object each is to draw the other into accepting some favor, and if that is done, the word philopena is spoken, and aforfeit required. To illustrate it better by example. A and B exchange penas, at a party; and a few days after B calle upon A athis or her house. A, instead of waiting to be asked in, enters just before the invitation is given; if offered a chair, takes a seat upon the sofa, if B passes the butter to A the table, A takes cheese and so on—always aking care to accept nothing, but in a quiet way endeavoring vo iurce the other party into the acceptance of some offer on his own side. if at that visit either is successful, he im- mediately says ‘philopena,’ buat if both should always be on the guard the thing may pass on t6 @ subse uent cocasion. ‘Pax Last Notion.—The Philadelphia Times says that decidedly the coolest specimen of Yankeedom ve have seen during this hot wea- ther, is the man who walked inte our sanctum the other day, and exhibited a dosen ¢i» shirt collars for our inspection. We were not pre- pared for this innovation on the linen trade, and were about to pronounce the motion im- practicable, when the exhibitor triumphant: pointed to his own collar, saying, ‘ D’ye thi 2 . this ere collar will welt ?”’ look, we found it to be the ‘genuine tin,”’ but not observable except on close inspection.
