The Prince of Wales Among the Ladies The New York Herald discourses in the fol- lowing irreverent fashion about the “ coming Prince,”’ in regard to whom all the feminine hearts of Fifth Avenue Snobdom are in so ter- rible a flutter It seems that the Prince of Wales is a ladies’ man, and has produced a sensation among the fair at Bt. Johns by his winning attentions no less than by his ** particularly brilliant hazel eyes.’ He is quite a beau, and ‘‘a very grace- fal aud accomplished dancer,’ ashe proved by the way he whirled the ladies through the mazes of “ poetry in motion.’’ He set them right when they went wrong, and every now and then he called out the different figures of the dunce. His dancing was ‘“ repeatedly cheered,”’ and every time he danced he took a different partner—half a dozen in all. How they must have been captivated by so sweet ® prince, as he econdescendingly *- corrected their blunders.’’ Probably the ladies of New- foundland do not know much about such mat- ters, and the sex in Canada are but little in advance of them. But when the Prince comes here he will find the ladies posted up—fully acquainted with all the new figures and the most intricate steps. They have perfectly at their toes’ ends the latest pas from Paris, and perhaps may be able even to teach his a Hightes: something he does net know. We advise the ladies, therefore, to be prepared, armed at all points, that they may show the Prince of Wales that they can dance better than the damsels of the British Provinees Let them also be ready to be taken captive by the *+ boyish’ charms of nineteen years. The Prince is almost as young as Don Juan, who in his traveis made such fiavoc among hearts; he is like that hero, too, in being ‘+ handsome. slender, but well knit,’’ and in having re- ceived a finished .religious education, under pioustutors. Little “Sommy,”’ of the Japanese bassy, upon whom the women of Washing- made such a rush, was, after all, net a real prince, aad he cannot compare for a mo- ment in good looks and accomplishments with the son of the British Queen. Who can say that the young seion of royalty may not be smitten by some one of our Ame! beau- ties, and marry her, too, as Maria Theresa married the youth she fixed her eye upon, in spite of every remonstrance, and as Queen Victoria married the man of her choice. Eng- lish princes generally have had their marriage contracts made for them by their ministers without being consulted on the subject. These marriages are generally contrived to secure strong national alliauces. But the Emperor Louis Napoleon took the hand of a woman with no royal Blood in her veins, and Prince Jerome Bonaparte wedded Miss Patterson, an Ameri- ean lady; and there can be no good reason why the Prince of Wales should not follow these examples. His alliance with an Ameri- can lady would greatly strengthen the extent cordiale between the United States and Eng- land, and would be the most judicious and sensible thing he could do for his country. If it were nothing else, he would thus prove that he SpE = 3 and a will of his own. Lit every lady, therefore, put on her most be- witching smile. Tocatch a prince is no com- mon achievement A Cheice Bit Imper'! Scandal [From the Paris correspondent of the N.Y Herald) A good deal of Imperial seandal is just now on the tapis. It is said that the Emperor made it a point that he should be present at the of his uncle Jerome's papers, and that rinee Napoleon’s reply was that they had al- ready been removed fur safe custody to Eng- land. It is boldly asserted that among them are letters from Louis, ex-King of Holland, solemnly asserting that the marriage of Hor- tense and himself was never consummated and that consequently every child of hers was iliegitimate. Nay, more, that he was from the first conversant with the intrigue tbat had sub- Bisted betw Napoleon the [ and his wife, aud that as for tects Napoleon, he was as much the son of the Duteh Admiral as Count Moracy that of Count Plahant. If all this be true, it is impossible that Prince Napoleon may think to hold these letters 22 terorem over the head of the Emperor; not that I should think the man who with his own right arm aod his own strong head has risen to his present lofty hight. would bate one jot of bis pretensions from any bugbear of this kind. Seme queer things happen in all families, even when they are so well regulated as (ieorge the Third’s. There was—in tact I believe he is still living—a man called by his intimates Tommy Garth. It was whispered that be was a son of one of George the Third’s daughters by Gen. Gerth. One day, however, the Gen- eral believed himself to be in eztremzs, and calling to bis bedside his son, he desired him, after bis death, to inspect a certain cabinet, of which he gave him the key, as in it he would find « packet of letters of great importance to him. The General got well, but Tommy's cu- riosity was so excited that he managed to get hold of the papers, notwithstandin, They were in the handwriting of George tll, thank- i Gen. Garth for saving the honor of hie ily, and of the Duke of York, the Prince of the Duke of Cumberland, and the Prin- cess Sopbia, respecting his birth. The Duke of York's letter to the Prince of Wales was to say—in very familiar language—that Sophy was with child by Ernest, and that there was the devil to pay; and there were letters from Princess Sophia and the Duke of Cumberland, (Ernest,) admitting ies corr impeachment tiarth, who was troubled with littie delicacy, took post and hastened to Frogmore.where the Princess Sophia was, telling the lady in wai ing that he wanted to see his ‘‘mother.’’ Of course he was denied this filial request. But the following day Sir Herbert Taylor paid him a visit, and having heard his statement, and, in fact, seen the documents, demanded the price of them. Ten thousand » year and a peerage, was the reply. He returned a day or two after, and offered £5,000 a year anda ince about the Court. All things were read; for signatures, when, at the eleventh hour, it was discovered that (darth had had an attested copy of the documents taken, which, of course, entirely neutralized the value of the originals. The negotiation, therefore, fell to the ground But Tommy Garth to this day is supported, I am told, by the Court. He is always in prison; bat when things come to the worst, and he is about to take the benefit of the insolvent act, an angel comes to him unawares, pays his lia- bilities, and avoids all exposure. Some years ago he ran away with the beau- tiful wife of Sir Jacob Astley, aud daughter of Sir Henry Dashwood. She forsook a handsome husband and £40,000 a year, to share penury and imprisonment with little fat Garth. She died about a year after, having borne him a daughter How tae Eve is Swerr axp Wasnen —For us to be able to see objects clearly and dis- tinetly, it is necessary that the eye should be kept moist and clean.

A gentleman who has examined the eyes of a fly says that the two eyes of a common one are composed of eight thousand little globes, through every one of which it is capable of forming an object. aes | prepared the eye of a fly for the purpose, and placed it before a microscope, and then looking through both in the manner of the telescope at a steeple which was 290 feet high and 750 feet distant, and he says he could plainly see through every little coer grec the whole steeple inverted or turned upside down A French Woman on America. [From 2 Work by Madame Forntenoy, ‘* Ameri- can Homes.’’) “ The life of a New York business man is either that of a‘ bruteora mercenary.’ His face clean shaved, resembles a zero; his eyes looks * figures and calculation’—his person ‘smells of dollars.’ American cookery hus neither smell nor taste. The food of the coun- try isso much boiled hay, straw and bran, without even a pinch of salt to season it Americans know no soup but oyster stews; they eat with kuives; break eggsina tumbler, esteem ham above trufficed partridges, and whiskey above Bordeaux wine; they never eat supper, and can make no pastry but appte ie. Americaus have no opinions; they only ave needs. They live without moral guid- ance, recognizing no political compass but theirown appetites. American actors swal- low half their words, and no foreigner can tell what they do with the other half. «When there is any music to be heard, be sure the Americans will shine by their ab- sence. Americans have a great taste to con- fectionery, but they exercise no judgment in gratifying it. Hugeness seems to be # quality most esteemed in candy, for sticks are to be had as big as horse-whips. If it were not for the French confectioners and pastry cooks, Americans would not be, to this day, beyond apple pie."’ Of American girls, generally, she says that they laugh continually, not they are naturally expansive and gay, but that they consider it a symbol of pleasure exacted by considerations of propriety and pleasure She often sought in the United States an amia- ble and young physiognomy, but she never saw even one. n American ball is hit off thus: ‘* The ladies, young and pretty, dressed exceedingly low in the neck, were whirled about by sombre Yankees, dressed in funeral black, ‘like Malbrook’s page. These girls, under their frank manners, their ingenious forwardness, conceal a profound dissimula- tion and remarkable egotiam. Out of three thousand, there is hardly one capable of love.’ The family relation is not known in America Fireside intimacies, household ties, are singu- larly neglected. “A boy of fourteen, a clerk, often pays his arents for his board if he continues to live at ome; if he does not, he occasionally asks after his father in the terms, ‘ How’s the old man ;’ in another place, the authoress quotes Talley- rand’s epigram with approbation. ‘American women do not have children—they have young Upon the subject of murriage, she makes a young lady speak thus: - Love 18 ridiculous in America. A man, in our eyes, represents a certain amount of money—that is to any of comfort and luxury. We do not marry men, we marry fortunes. Your wit, Mr. Jullien, your intelligence, your amiable manners, your handsome face will never obtain you an heiress in America. We never ask of a inarrying man any other question than this: How much is he worth? A husband is not a lover—he is only & man that pays our bills, keeps our house, and showers upon us wealth, and the luxuries that wealth procure. In return we are cold and positive, we give no occasion for jealously. for all our youth, health, and fire were dissi- pated in flirting; we live until we are married, and at the altar our life ends.’ Thus far I have been repeating small slan- ders, but I recommend the following para- graph to all whom it may concern Mins Caldwell waS nineteen years of age, celebrated for her luxurioua prodigality, intel- ligent and handsome. She was handsome as American girls are handaome; possessing a regular form, specs hair, determined and rather forward bearing, an inviting eye, white and red skin, fine mouth and teeth—in short, she possessed nll the charms whieh make the New York ladies exceedingly pretty, from fif- teen to twenty-five years of ago. After this period, while a French woman's beauty is de- veloping and ripening, the American woman becomes insupportably plain The causes ure the excessive use of hot biscuit and badly baked cake, and the abuses of balls, dancing late hours, and the usual dissipations of a city life, at an unduly early age. No complexion, no health, no teeth, can resist so horrible an ordeal."’ Men and Women. BY A YOUNG WIFE A woman is naturally gratified when a man singles her out and addresses his conversation tober. She takes pains to appear to the best advantage, but without any thought of wilfully misleading. How different is it with men! At least it is thus that women in general think of men. The mask with them is deliberately put on and worn as 4 mask, and woe betide a silly girl who is too weak or too unsuspicious not to appear dis- pleased with the well turned compliments and flattering atte: 3 BO ae bestowed upon her by her partner at the ball. If a girl has brothers she sees a little behiad the scenes, and is saved much mortification and disappoint- ment. She discovers how little men mean by attentions they so ge paged bestow upon the last new face which takes their fancy. Men sre singularly wanting in feeling upon this subject; they pay a girl marked at- tention, flatter herin every way, and then, perhaps, when warned by some judicious friend that they are going too far, ‘can hardly be- li the girlcould be #0 foolish as to fancy thing was meant.’’ ‘The fault which strikes women most forcibl in men is se/fishness. They expect too sae! in every ways and become impatient if their comforts and peculiarities are interfered with. if the men of the present day were less selfish and self-indulgent, and more willing to be con- tented and happy upon moderate moans, there would be fewer causes of complaint against young women undertaking situations as goy- ernesses when they are wholly unfit for so re- sponsible an office. [ feel the deepest interest in the present movement for the improvement of the female sex; but I could not resist the temptation of lifting up my voice in testimony ainst some of the every-day faults of men, to which I think many of the follies and weak- nesses of women are mainly to be attributed. Mr. Thackeray is the only writer of the present day who touches, with any severity, upon the faults of his own sex. He has shown us the style of women that he thinks men most admire. in ‘Amelia,’ and ‘Mrs. Pendennis.”’ Certainly my own experience agrees with this opiuion; and until men are sufficiently im- Proved to be able to appreciate the higher qualities in women, and to choose their wives among women who possess such qualities, I do not expect that the present desirable move- ments will make much p: . The improve- ments of both sexes must be simultaneous. A “‘gentleman’s’’ horror is still ‘‘blue stocking,” ich anpleasing epithet is invariably stowed upon all women who have read much, and who are able to think and act for them- selves.
