Wife in Ecstacy and Husband in Fidgets. The deed is sccomplished. My wife has got a piano, “and now farewell the tranquil mind—farewell content and the evening pa- pere, and the big cigars that make ambition virtue—oh, farewell! And oh, ye mortal en- ines, whose rude throat the immortal Jove’s dread clamors counterfeit ;"’ but stop, I can’t bid them farewell, for one of them has just arrived. oie Itcomeonadray. Six men carried it into the parlor, and it grunted awfully. It weighs ton, shines like a mirror, and has carved Cupids climbing up its limbs And such lungs, whew! My wife has commenced to practice, and the first time she touched it I thought we were in the midst of a thunder storm, and the lightning had struck the crockery chests. The cat, with tail erect, took a bee line for a par- ticular friend upon the back fence, demolish- ing a six shilling pane of glass. The baby awoke, and the little fellow tried his best to beat the instrument, but he didn’t doit It beat him A teacher has been introduced into the house.

He touched his thumb, and I thought I was in an orchard listening to the distant braying of a jackass. Now he ran his fingers along the keys, and E thought of a boy rattling a stick along the picket fence All of a sudden he stopped, and [ thought something had happened. Then down came both fists,and Ob, Lord! such a noise was never heard before. I thought a hurricane had struck through the house, and the walls were caving in. I imagined I was in the cel- Jar, and a ton of coal talling upon my head. I thought the machine had bust, when the infernal noise stopped, and I heard my wife ejaculate— ‘* Exquisite !’’ ‘* What the deuce is the mattor ?”’ The answer was— ‘* Why, dear, that’s La Somnambula!”’ ‘*Somnambula’’ thought I; and the Count rolled up his sheet of peper. He calls it mu- sic; but for the life of me, I can’t make it THE WEEKLY STAR.

At home, as soon as he escapes rom his mother’s arme, he pitches into all kinds of amusement and mischief. At school be pitches into everything but his studies. At college he pitches into oa! llow-cov- ered literature, and fast horses ; , although when he graduates he may pretend to =. a profession, the first thing he does he pitches into politics or matrimony, or both. If the latter is his proclivity, he does not wait to in- quire whether the maiden of his choice isa suitable companion for him, nor even whether be can maintain her in decency and comfort. He only knows that he is in love, and because he is so afflicted he pitches into wedlock with- out much re; to consequences. Though generally making a shift to get along in the world and to spend a happy life, he seldom wholly recovers from the effects of being alittle too fast in the beginning If a fine speculation, offering to pay one, two, or three hundred percent , is proposed, our national juvenile is sure to neglect hie ciphering and piteh into it blindfold. He scorns to feel his way anywhere, and, right or wrong, be must needs follow his instinots, This dashing, devil-may-care disposition is shown oftener in young men s political movements and aberr: tions than elsewhere. He chooses his pa sometimes after due deliberation, and som: times from the example of his parents, but much oftener from mere caprice. He will generally be found on the side of the party which makes the greatest uproar and {s loud- est in its pretensions to superior patriotism. His own stupidity often leads bim to — that all men whose heads are grey, and who are on the wintry side of fifty, are necessarily old fogies and not abreast with the progress of modern affairs. Hence he seizes with avidity upon any new political dogmas, and inconti- nently pitches into the ranks of any new party wich may arise. —_——~o- Tas New Dispgnsation.—The table - ping, *‘ spiritual” dispensation with which world is threatened is a singularone When itshall have fairly been indoctrinated through- out ‘“‘society,’?

Grace mn Fexate Dress.—Somebody has said that a Parisian grisette, with a little tulle and ribbon, will conquer the world, while an English woman, with all her shawls, dam- asks and diamonds, looks only like an ani- mated clothes horse. There-is some exagge- ration in this statement, but more wit, and still more truth. The women of France un- qucstionably have a better taste in dress than those of Great Britain or America. In both our mother country and this, there is zoo much of what we may call “snobism,’’ in fe- male attire. The ladies of Anglo-Saxondom seems to fancy that the more they spend on dress, the prettier tney look. somniogy one sees little women covered all over wit lace, or buried in the middle of stiff brocade or almost lost to sight under a puffing velvet cloak with capes that extend on either side like gigantic wings Or one beholds a tall woman, if such be the fashion, tricked out in tight sleeves and striped silks, the costliness of the material being regarded by the wearer as sufficient compensation for the incongruity of the styles. A French servant girl has better taste. She knows it is not so much the richness of the material as the way it is made up, and the manner it is worn, that gives it the desired elegance. A neat fit, a graceful bearing, and a proper harmony between the complexion and the colors, has more to do in brightening female attractions than even American ladies pertaintocomprehend. Many a wife looks prettier, if she would but know it, in her neat morning frock of calico, than in the incongruous pile ot finery which dignifies the name of full dress. Many an unmarried female first wins the heart of her future hus- band in some simple unpretending attire, which if consulted about, she would pronounce too cheap except for ordinary wear, but which by its accidental suitability to her figure, face and carriage, idolized her youth wonder- fully. If the sex would study taste in dress more, and care less for expense, they would have no reason to regret. At present the ex- travagances of American females are prove: bial. We wish we could say as much for their elegance in the same line. ° Parisian Gossip —The Parris correspon dent of the New York Evening Post relates the following: They tcll astrange story of M’lle Rachel, recent visitor—appropos of her son—there is uo indiscretion in speaking of her chil- dren, as she has proclaimed their existence in a recent letter, instituting us into the mysteries of her family. This son is the ac knowledged son of the great Napoleon — Count Walewski, man of letters by vocation and profession, author of the comedy “Ecole du Mondc,’’ Ministers of Foreign Affairs, and President of, the Congress for his new amusement. Mr. Felix, the father of M’lle Rachel, is no ultra plebian, bat lately, in speaking of his grandchild, he, he zaid, ‘that boy has two great men for his grandfathers— Napoleon and I.”” is boy has lately made his first commun- ion at the parish church. The Archbishop of Paris called M lle Rachel to. congratulate her on having brought up her children in the prin- ciples of Catholicism. She replied that she a not flattered by the arche; visit, and added, Although I sm a Jewess, all the fathers of my children happen te-have been a some human imposter, from the heavens above and the earth beneath, snd the water under the earth. In fact, now that ‘husbands, and wives, and sisters,’ have step) over the prescribed limits of ‘Church and State,’ with such progress as has already been made, there 1s every reason to anticipate a thorough abrogation of the moral law entire The Ten Commandments have had their day They were well enough for the Jews and early Christians; but are wholly inapplicable to the present condition of spiritual progress ”” A Ficore or Spegca.—Sewall, the mad poet, who flourished in New Hampshire a half century ago, once had a wordy alterca- toa with a disputant almost as mad as him- self At length Sewall’s patience became ex- hausted—something was said which raised bis ire—he arose and grasping bis alarmed oppo- nent by the collar, exclaimed with the voice of g Stentor: ‘You contemptible wretch ! Say another word, and I will crush you to atoms, and hurl you into the immensity of space; yea, even into the womb of chaos— where it would pussle Omniscience to find you, or Omnipotence to put you together ain !’? This ended the argument, for his opponent, shaking off the madman’s grasp, vanished like a fish of lightning ! i> The following colloquy took place be- tween the Census aie and a cauee of Germany: ‘*Who lives here?” “Yaw.” “ What's your name ?’’ Rhine”’ ‘* What's “Nix for Staw.”” « “ Sbarmany, on the our father’s name?” hen did you arrive in Albany?” “Mit a steamboats.” “Got any children?’’ ‘* Yaw—two barrels mit krout.”’ ‘‘How long have you resided in this house ?’’ “Two rooms and der basements’ “ Who owns the building?’’ “I pays n’thing. Hanse pays the same twice a month.”” did you live last year?’’ ‘Across der red store as you came up mit der market in your right hand, perhind der pump vat berlongs to der blacksmid shops.”’ Ks Dewey, the “‘ town agent”’ for the dis- tribution of the *‘ ardent’’ in Burlington, Vt., formerly kept a clerk who will make a good treasurer by-and-by. Having grown quite disgusted with the shabby pretexte that the old tipplers would offer as a reason for ‘‘medi- cine," he grew as sharp in his examinations as aquarantine doctor. One day an old “bard head’’ asked fora pint of brandy. ‘‘ What is your diffieulty?”’ enquired the boy. ““‘Why,’’ said the man, laying his hand pi tically on his abdomen, ‘the fact is, I am rather loose.’ ““Well,”’ replied the elerk, this is no place to get tight.” . Bonners ror THE Counrry.—Among the preparations for the country may be named several drawn bonnets of the kind called by the French milliners, capelines or caleches. They are intended chiefly for children or very young ladies. They are found very eonveni- ent in the country, as they beyond the forehead sufficiently to protect it frem the ra of the sun, whilsta large cape shades the neck. The cape is Fro at the sides so as to fasten under the chin, the end being fixed bys bow formed of the same material asthe bonnet. Small light slipsof whalebone are passed through the runnings.
