Wondekfillt Made.—Harper'8 Weekly has a curious compilation of facts relating to the cfJects of different objects upon the taste, feeling, and other senses of the body in different persons. A cat or a rabbit, and especially the fur of these animals, distress those who are so peculiarly constituted as to besuspeitible to such influnces. Veal produces nettlerash, orange-peel, nervous excitement. Figs in some stomachs produce sensation like that of swarming with ants. Rice acts like poison on some people, and they can detect the presence of even a few grains of it, no matter how well disguised. A case of a man's being sick unto death from eating muttonchop is recorded ; a a case of fatality, as pronounced, as if he had eaten toad-stools. The touch of honey causes swelling of the tongue, frothing in Ihe tiioulli, blueness of the fingers, in some people; in others, the application of mustard to the skin produces violent twitching of face, arms and legs. Some can not remain in the same room with a cheese, and the surfheo of a russet apple, or the bristles of a brush excite an exquisite nervous distress. SHOBT LIFE OF WOMEN 15 CITIES. GB. SMITH, k .

Dr. Hall, speaking of the frail health and early fading of American women, especially in cit_ ies atld large towns, says they live too luxuriously, and.their habits of eating and sleeping are too artificial and irregular. Our young women are trained in female boarding-schools, which, with rare exceptions, are academies of mental, moral, and physical depravation; where novel-reading in secret, and a smattering of everything in public, with a thorough practical knowledge of nothing, is the order of the day. From graduation to marriage, nothing is done to establish the constitution, to make firm the health—no instructions given as to how that health may be preserved, no active teaching as to household duties, no invigorating morning walks, no wholesome, elegant, and graceful exercises on horseback.

If yoa don't love him, don't marry him, though you die an old maid at ninety in the Asylum for Indigent Old Maids, about to be established in Boston. But let your wedding be simple, and quiet, and beautiful with love but not with money. If yoa are rich,do this in the name of grace, and for the sake of example. If you are poor, do it in the name of honesty, and lor the sake of a pure conscience. And in either event, do it as an offering to delicacy, and the fitness of things. If you have wedding presents, then most of them will come because the givers love you, and, loving, desire to give the gifts of love. Treasure them sacred, but on the wedding day send them to the bank, or hide them in the back attic, or push them ander the bed, or put them in the refrigerator, or do anything but shake them in the face of the public, and say, "Behold, how pleased lam with my rattle—tyDw tickled with my straw!"

To obtain what is called the "Grecian bend,"they are torturing nature to such a degree that thousands of them will become the victims of cureless diseases. Tight lacing drives the vitals from their natural position, displaces some of the most important parts of the organism, and renders those who suffer unfitted for the most ordinary duties of lifeJ It is a crime lo injure, by any artificial appliance, the beautiful mechanism of nature, and the invariable result of so doing ia deformity, which the eye of true taste cannot endure.— The young lady who thinks she can improve her form by constraining it within boundaries less than those which nature demands for its service is not only thoughtless, but she is criminal. Stowill find in a few years, or perhaps months, that the baa with her "Grecian bend" a disease that-can nevar be wholly eradicated; and those who go to extremes in the absurb fashions of the day will assuredly find themselves sufferers, from a complication of disorders. The wiso young ladies of this country, we trust, will not be misled by the cruel inventions of modistes, to adopt any fashion which strains the natural movements of the vital organs, or other parts of the admirable organism which is the gift of the Deity, ahd cannot bo too sacredly rcspectcd. -yj^HYTE'S, MAHKET STREET (oppo«it« the jail) WILKS8-BABBM. » woman as a nice derangement of epitaphs the i joke eomes home to the audience almost as easily as when the clown make harlequin sit upon a warming pan, or sends a stout alderman into the streeta with "prize pig" ticketed on bi* back, i And, in ordinary life, how often baa the monotony of Sunday in the country been relieved by hearing your respectable hostees, pleasantly eonsciouaof tithe and cumin, explain for your edification, as a stranger, the skill with which the preacher applied hia strictures te the various pews in the vicinity—to every jm*, in fact but own.

At one time there were three or lour of these horses advancing abreast of him on one tide, and as many as five on the other.

The play of pride, prejudice and passion, and the eagerness mani tested by the great majority of mem to advance their own interests,often at the expense oi others, and in violation of tbe golden rule, cause us to look with suspicion on the beet intents of others.— Arrogance, hypocrisy, treachery and violence, every day outrage justice, till we are almost disposed to distrust human nature and become discouraged. But amid all that is sad and disheartening in this busy and noisy world, now and then there is presented to us a life of such uniform virtue, that we recognize in it a character that brings hope for the perfect development and ultimate regeneration of our race.— Such characters ate precious, and suoh examples should be hold up to tb« world for its admiration and imitation; they should be snatched from oblivion and treasured in the hearts and thoughts of all who are in process of forming habits and maturing character. •l&»*4»9 « f iiuIMO t'UrfngK ShuhfOa* IM -■■: f ' •-.*-.

The velvet cover that corresponds with the coffin itself is carried before in an upright position. The hearse, drawn by four or five horses, follows. A Real life must hare a worthy aim.
