STAR. EVENING CAN'T ALWAYS TELL. Thro’ the world our way we're hewin’, But how wisely, or how well ; Or what each and all are doin’ I don’t know—can’t always tell! Some there be, with noise and bluster, Make a mighty heavy swell; Whether they can pats a muster I don’t know—can’t always tell! Some there be whose silks and laces Clean the sidewalks—yclept a belle; Whe, at length, the music fares, 1 don’t know—can’t always tell! Some there be in woman’s vesture; wie not ggg ’ hat t! are, from look or gesture, I don" keow—can't always tell ; : Shawls they wear—have hairy faces— Various things they do quite well ; How they eat, or at what places, I don’t know—czn’t always teil! Fierce they look—some call it silly— From their hatry citadel ; When they left their kinsman, Billy, I don’t kuow—can’t always tell! Some there be who yet inherit Brains to last (hem thro’ this spell ; Whether they can claim much merit I don’t know—can’t always tell ! Wastkinoton, 1555 Quite. a A Turxisn Lavy Baruixe.—Her attire is first removed. An attendant takes a glove— every day it is a new clove—of undressed silk. With the disengaged hand she pours over her mistress basin after basin of warm water. Then, by means of gentile friction with the glove, she slowly removes the saits and impu- rities which are deposited on the skin. This finished, the attendant covers the lady from head to foot, by means of a mop of downy silk, with a lather made of a particular emollient soap, peculiar, I believe, to Turkey. Upon this soap depends much of that peach-like softness and snowy whiteness of the skin, for which Eastern women aro so remarkable. It has the reputation of removing stains, spots, and freckles, that are not deeply marked in the cuticle. This part of the matter having been carefully performed, the lady is again deluged with water, heated to 110 or 120 de- grees, and poured from a taus (basin) of sil- ver. Large towels—we might call them sheets—of the finest white muslin, richly em- broidered with flowers and gold, are wrapped around her. As she is led into a saloon, where, reclining apon a heap of cushions, she sinks into a dream-like languor. that might become faintness, were it net for the aasiduity with which a slave fans her. As soon as she is sufficiently recovered to bear it, another slave combs, perfumes, and disposes her hair in ernamental braids. The hour after the bath is one of gentle, sleepy loveliness t# Rev. Mr Gillett, on Thursday evening united in “‘ holy bonds,’’ Mr. Charles B. Ad- ams, to Miss Jessio M , daughter of the late Hon. Thos. M. Woodruff—at the residence of the bride's mother. It was an unusually sud- den, but we trust will prove none the less a happy move. Some friends in the early part of the evening, challenged the maiden, with promises of sundry valuable “settings out,” to marry at once—and as she contemplated doing so “‘one of these days.’ she bravely accepted the challenge, and beau and parson were called in, and the whole affair was done up in the course of three or four hours,— JV. - Mirror.
