Next Door to the Post Office, "Not only are the Arabs paticnlar in tbeir pomade, but great attention ia bestowed upon perfumery, especially by the women. Various perfumes are brought from Cairo by tbe travel ing native merchants, among which, those most in demand are oil of roses, oil of sandal-wood, an essence of musk, and the oil of. cloves. The women hare a peculiar method of scenting tbeir bodies and clothes by an operation that is repeated at regular intervals. In tbe floor of the tent, or hut, as it may chance to be, a small bole is excavated sufficiently large to contain a common-sized champaigne bottle; a .fire of charcoal, or of simply glowing embers, is made within tbe hole, into which the woman about to be scented throws a handful of various drugs; she then takes off the cloth or tc p« which forms her dress, and crouches naked over the fumes, while she arranges bcr robe to fall as a mantle from her neck to tbe.ground like a tent When this arrangement is ooneluded she is perfectly happy, as none of tbe precious fumes can escape, all being retained beneath tbe robe, precisely aa if she wore a crinoline with an incense-burner beneath it, which would be a far more simple way Of performing the operation. She now begins to perspire freely in the hot-air bath, and the pores of lha akin being thus opened and moist, the volatile oil from the smoke of tbe buring perfumes is immediately absorbed. "fly the time that tbe fire has aspired, tbe scenting process is completed,and both her person and robe are redolent of incense, with which they are ao thoroughly impregnated that I have frequently smelt a party of women strongly at full a hundred yards'distanco, when the wind has been stron'gly from their direction. Of course this kind of perfumery is only adapted for those who live in tents and in the open air, but it ia considered by the ladies to have a peculiar attraction for the other sex, a* valerian ia said to ensnare the genns felis. At the men are said to be allured by thb partic i lar combination of aweet smelts, and to fail victims to the delicacy of tbeir nasal organs, it will be necesary to give the receipt for the fatal mixture, to be made np in proportiona according to taste: Ginger, cloves, cinnamon, frankincense, sandal-wood, myrrh, a species of sea-weed that ia brought from the Red Sea, and lastly, what I mistook for sheila, but which 1 subsequently discovered to be the horny disc that closes the aperture when a shell-fieh withdraws itself within its shell; these are also brought from tbe Red Sea, in which they abound throughout the shores of Nubia and Abyssinia. In addition to tbe charm of sweet pertumes, the women who can afford tbe luxury, suspend from their necks a few pieces of the dried glanda of tbe musk cat, which is a native of the country ; such an addition completes the toilette, when the coiffure has been carefully arranged."

In full view, palpable tot sight, stood the Madonna, looking down os him with tender eyes.

Could he leave 1 be blessed place for the cold air eutaide? Could be leave his blissful prayer, and go out to some common work of charity, probably to hear some old woman's story, or help some beggar in rags ? There was the bright presence of tbe Virgin full before him : she might vanish atany moment; could he go while she staid t In a moment, these thoaghta passed through his mind; but he remembered his vow; and before the bell sounded the third time, ha waa at tbe door answering the call. It was a miserable beggar with a long tale of distress, aad a prayer for charity. He listened patiently to the tale; he relieved the want; then he went back to the cell, expecting to find that glory departed. To his surprise, there stood tbe Virgin, more beautiful in face and expression. Her lips opened, and a voice said to hian, " Hadst thou not gone, I had notromained."

" m Tax Tact Stokt or Ciimhua.-The story of Cinderella is familiar to every oaa, and yet there are fow that treasure it up as ia every respect tree. But it haaa foundation and a realirty that really needa no fairy godmother, with her pampkia aad her rata, to aiaka aa entertaining tale. It is aa follows: Ia about the year 1730, a French aetor, by the name of Thevenard, lived ia Paris. He was rich and talented but he had ao wife, aad we may believe be had aever loved aay one, but gave all bis affectiofis to those ideal characters that be could represent so finely oa tbe stage. One day be waa walking leisurely along the streets of Paris he came upon a cobbler's stall, aad his eye was attracted by a dainty little shoe which lay there for repairs. His imagination begun immediately to (prm tha little foot that must fill such a little shoe. He examined it well, bat only te admire it more aad more. On going ta his awn home he seemed haunted by tbe little shoe. Ha faaeied it tripping over his floer; he could hear the music of his tread—in fact there wus nothing among all hia rich, elegant treasures that seemed to him half so beautiful. 86 South Street, New fork. liar. 7,1861.

A minister from a neighboring Iowa started to go, one day last week, on a kind al missionary enterprise. lie drove his own team, and when within about six miles from the end of hi* journey, he met a man limping along, with the blood rnnning down on* side of his face.— The minister asked him if that waa the right road to Oshkosh. "Yes, you are on the right road. I just cam* from there. I hare been up there, having a little fan with the boys."— Aboat two miles further on he met another man, one arm in a sling, one eye badly bunged, and his clothing in a badly dilapidated condition.— " How far is it to Oshkosh T" asked the minister. "Only (hie) five miles,"answered the pitiable object. "Oshkosh is a live town. I've been up there having fun with the boys." With a sad lieart the minister drove on, falling into a revery on tho depravity of man in geceral; and the Oshkoshiang in particular, when he suddenly came upon a man sitting by the side of the road. One arm was sprained, one ear bad been bitten off, and, seated by the side of a puddle of water, he was seeking relief by bathing the part affected. The minister was perfectly awestricken. Stopping his horse, he inquired of the man what terrible accident bad befallen him. '• O uot any nl nil," fai u responded the bleeding wreck; "I bwv* only jast been up to Osbkosb, having a little Tun with the boys." "I suppose you mean by that, that you have been engaged in some brutalizing fights," said the minister. " Yes," said the man, " I have heard that's what they call it down at Fon du Lac, where they are civilized : but they don't call it by that name up at Oshkosh. There they call it having a little fun with the boys." M What do you suppose your wife will say wheu she sees you ?" asked the reverend gentleman. At this the man looked up with a sardonic smile. Patting his remaining well hand in a pocket, he pulled out a piece of nose, a large lock of hair, to which a part of the scalp was attached, and a piece of flesh he had bitten from the cheek of his opponent, and holding them out for the minister's inspection, growled out: " There—what do you suppose his wife will say when she seea him?" This was a squelcher. As anxious as the minister was to overcome sin and do good, he was not yet prepared to invade the devil's stronghold; and turning around he returned home. The next time bo starts on a missionary enterprise to the frontier town of Oshkosh, he will take good care not to go alone.

An Exquisite Stout bt Lamaktisk.—In the tribe of Neggcdeh, there was a horse, whose fame was spread far and near, and a Bedouin of another tribe, by name Daher,desired extremely to possess it. Haying offered in vain for it his camels aqd his whole wealth, he bit at length upon the following device, by which he hoped to gain the object of his desire. He resolved to stain his face with the juice of an herb, cloth himself in rags, to tie his legs and neck together, so aa to appear like a lame beggar. Thus equipped, he went to meet Naber, the owner of the horse, who, be knew was to pass that way. When he saw Naber approaching on his beautiful steed, be cried out in a weak voice, "I am a poor stranger; for three days I have been unable lo move from this spot to obtain food. T am dying, help me,atd heaven will reward you." The Bedouin kindly offered to take him up on hia horse 'and carry him home; bnt the rogue replied: "I cannot riae; I have no strength left." Naber, touched with pity, dismounted, led his horse to the spot, and with great difficulty set the seeming stranger on its back. But no sooner did Daher feel himself in the saddle, than be set spurs to the horse, and gallopped off, calling out aa he did so: "It is I, Daher. I have got the horse, and I am off with it." Naber called after him to stop and listen. Certain of not*being pursued, he turned and halted at a short distance from Naber, who was armed with a "Yon have taken my, horse," said the latter,, "since heaven has willed it, 1 wish yon joy of it; but I do conjure you never to tell any one how you obtained it." "And why not?" said Daher.— '■Because," said the noble Arab, " another man might be really ill, and men would fear to help him. Yuu would be the cause of many refusing to perform an act of charity, for fear of being duped as I have been." Struck with shame at these words, Daher was silent for a moment, then, springing from his horse, returned it to its owner, embracing him. Naber made him accompany hiin to where they spont a few days together, and they became fast friends for life. There comes Snuffy with cataip' tea.

FORGE SURGEON DENTIST. MAIN STREET, PITTSTGN, PA. BAKERY! Afraid of bis Ears.—At a party recently a novel wag found himself in course of the eve- , ning, in general conversation with a tervous looking stranger. Pointing out to him a gentleman of an inquiring turn of mind in another portion of the room, he Ikid: "Do you see that man there F He has a mania—a very u«pleaaant one, too. -He is possessed with tfce idea that he must bite off stranger's aara, and it has caused a dreadful amount of trouble. I do not know whether he will show aiyr of the ajaaptoms to night, but perceiving you are a stranger, I deem it my duty to put you on your guard. Don't let him approach very close to you." The expression of horror that- spread 1 over the face of the nervous man clearly proved that he heard the warning. A little later the benevolent informant got opportunity to tell the inquiring man that man (pointing out the warned individual) was a physioal wonder, as a roaring noise cOuld be distinctly heard proceeding from his ear by setting within eighteen inches of his ear. Our curious friend was struck with such an unheard of phenomenon,and very properly began to work himself close enough for a personal investigation. The movement waa seen by the nervous man, aad great drops of apprehensive sweat oozed out from his brow and trickled down his cheeks.— Nearer approached the one, and more terribly intense grew the horror of tbeotber. The space between them was slowly but surely lessening The curious man was within an ace of the "roaring," when the agony of the "roarer" reached its crisis, and clenching his fist, ho landed it between the "lookers" of the unfortunate searcher after physical wonders, shouting at the top of his voice : taJ i'i AND RAILROAD SPIKE WORKS. WILLIAM HUNT * SONS, Cattl* Fences.—In some of our Western exchanges, especially in these from Ohio, there have been discission* tending to shew that only those who keep stock at pasture should make the fences; that a man who raise* grain only, should not be the party on whom the expanse of keeping his neighbor's stock should fall. So reasonable does this seem in the abstract that we believe laws have come ncar'being enacted da this basis.
