Who is this old man, that with clotbcs in rags, and tottering steps, walks feebly along tho streets, surrounded by children, who inoclc and jeer him ns he goes? His face is familiar to ns, and his air, amidst his wretchedness and poverty, speaks of days gone by, when better times were his. It is Brummell, the man of fashion, fallen from his high estate. Embarrassed by his extravagance, he had to flee to the conti «nent, where deserted in a great measure by his hollow friends, he soon fell from one degree of wretchedness to another. For a while he pursued on a diminished scale his former course, bat was at last arrested for debt. His agitation on this occasion was extreme, and he.gave way to a burst of tears. Resistance was vain, however, and tho ghy butterfly of fashion found himself the inmate of a wretched and squalid jail. By some kind individuals he was released from this abode of misery, but misfortune failed to teach liiin reflection. He still retained the taste of his earlier years, though unable from circumstances to gratify them. When at the lowest point of financial distress, he could with difficulty be persuaded, although almost in want of tho common necessaries of life, to foreeo the use of some fashionable blacking which cost a dollar a bottle. Forsaken and forgotten by the suuahine friends of his prosperity, Brummell became to a considerable extent dependent on the kindness of a grocer, one out of those humble classes, whose vulgarity he had so often sneered at. He who had affected such great refinement in his culinary tastes, was glad to obtain a meal at a tradesman's board ; and he too who had said that it was possTble for a man to dress on £800 a year, with strict economy, was indebted to a compassionate tailor for mending the holes in his garments, at which time, for lack of a change of raiment, he was obliged to remain in bed until his clothes were returned to him. "He had now," says his biographer, " passed the point at which he was the personification of a broken gentleman." He bacame a complete sloven. Tho last remnant of selfrespect abandoned him, and, unable to obtain, credit, he would beg at a shop for articles for whj,ch he was no longer able to pay. His mind became weakened by his misfortunes, and in his lonely garret, he would at limes imagine that he was giving one of his fashionable parties. His attendant, who humored him, would announce the arrival of the Duchess of Devonshire, or some distinguished visitor. Rising up, the poor beau would salute the empty air with ceremonious politeness ; then, as if conscious of his fallen position, his eyes would fill with childish tears. At ten o'clock the carriages of his imaginary visitors would be announced as in waiting, and the farce was at an end. HOW TO SPELL CAT. WHAT IT WOULD DO. Business Glares 0 S.

ROBERT BAUR, Amidst the various objects which men have pursued in search of happiness, may be first named the mirage of fashion. In every age a large proportion ol mankind have fixed their affections on the pleasure of dress, frivolous amusements, and trifling gayety. That man, formed with such high capacities for moral and intellectual enjoyment, should have narrowed his mind to such pursuits is indeed surprising ; that lie should have expected happiness in them, still more so. The illusion, it nyght have been supposed, would at once have been detected, and the pursuit abandoned. Experience has shown, however, that the numbers are not small of those who have deliberately sought to pervert life to this end. At this moment there are multitudes whose sole aim is to mix in what is termed "good society f who leave the circle in which Providence has fitted them to be useful, and vainly endeavor to court the favor of these who secretly despise them ; who are the slaves of etiquette; who dread what is vulgar much more than what is sinful, and who to the cruel idol of fashion sacrifice usefulness,' selfrespect, and mental pence. As a terrible warning to all such, stands forth the career of Geo. Brummell, or " The Man of Fashion." Such was the cud of the man of fashion. We pause not to moralize on his melancholy carecr —on the exhibition of selfishness, wasted time, and squandered powers, which it presents. lie had devoted himself to the slavery of fashion, and in the end he discovered that he had been deluded by the mirage.

Friendships, once as firm as granite, dissolved to jelly, and then ran away to water, only because of this ; love, that promised a luture as enduring.as heaven and as stable as truth, evaporated into a morning mist, that turned to a day's long tears, only because of this; a father and son were set foot to foot with the fiery breath of anger that would never cool again between them, only because of this; and a husband anil his young wife, each straining at the hated leash which at the beginning had been the golden bondage of a God-blessed love, sat mournfully by the side of the grave where all their love ond all their joy lay buried, and only bccause of this. I have seen faith transformed to mean doubt, hope give place to grim despair, and charity take on itself the features of malevolence, all because of the fell words of scandal and the magic mutterings of gossip. Great crimes work great wrong, and the deeper tragedies of human life spring from its larger passions; but woeful and most mournful are the uncatalogued tragedies that issue from gossip and aetractation; most mournful the shipwreck often made of noble natures and lovely lives by the bitter winds and dead salt waters of slander. So easy to say, yet so hard to disprove—throwing on the innocent all the burden and strain of demonstrating their innocence, and punishing them as guilty if unable to pluck out the stings they never see, and to silence words they never hear—gossip and slander are the deadliest and the crudest weapons man has ever forged for his brother's hurt,—All the Tear Round.

Cokhect Speaking.—We would advise all young people to acquire in early life the habit of correct speaking and writing* and to abandon as early as possible any use of slang phrases. The longer you live, the more difficult the language will be; and if the golden age of youth, the proper season for the acquisition of language, be passed in its abuse, the unfortunate victim, if neglected, is very properly doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not necessary to procure this education. Every man has set it in his power. He has merely to use the language which he read?, instead of the slang which be hears ; to form his taste from the best of speakers and poets in the country; to treasure up choice phrases in his memory, and habituating himself to their use, avoiding at the same time, that pedantic precision and bombast, which show the weakness of vain ambition, rather than the polish of an educated mind.

MERRIAM'S This remarkable man was born towards the end of the last century, and at the early age of sixteeu received an appointment as officer in a regiment of ussars, in which his taste for drese found ample means of gratification. He may be said to have entered life with the full flowing tide of prosperity. He was the favorite of his brother officers. Royally itself smiled upon him, and he soon became distinguished for his fashionable manners, a great refinement of taste, a delicate vein of satire, and a spirit of affectation, blended with quaint humor. At the age of twentj-one he succeeded to property of the value of £30,000, principally in ready money. Being now master of bis own time, he-resolved to devote himself wholly to a life of fash" ion. Unhappy choicc ! Could any one with prophetic vision have unrolled the future before hitn, how would he have started back from the prospect in horror! A taste in matters of dress was what he first labored to be distinguished for, and that so successfully, that the tailors of the metropolis soon learned to regulate the fashions by his decision. The prince regent himself would occasionally attend bis dressingroom for an hour in the morning, to watch the mysterious grace with which he discharged the duties of the toilet. As Watt was celebrated in Bb attt.—Let me see a female possessing the beauty of a meek and modest deportment—of an eye that, bespeaks intelligence and parity within—of lip? that speak noguile; let me see her in a kind, benevolent disposition, a. heart that sympathise* with distress, and I will never ask for beauty that dwells in ruby lipe, or snowy hands, or the forty other etcetera* upon which our poets have harped for so many age*. These fade when touched by the hand of time; but the ever-enduring qualities of the heart shall outlive the reign of these, and grow brighter and fresher, as the ages of eternity roll away.

Brummell whs, through intimacy with the prince regent, admitted to the highest circles of the nubility. No party was complete without him, and the morning papers, in giving the details of a rout, always placed his name first on the list of untitled guests. He became remarkablelor his pretensions to extraordinary refinement, and his freedom from everything that could be termed vulgar. Being asked what was a fair annual allowance tp a young man for clothes, he would answer that £800 a year might do with strict economy. He would protend to be igoorant of the exact geographical position of a place called " The Cityand being askcJ if he were fond of vegetables, would answer, after a duo pause for recollection, that he believed he had once eaten a pea. Not content with being admitted to the world of fashion, Brummell aimed at being its dictator, and in this he effectually succeeded. For years ho gave the law to the highest fashionable circles. A nobleman would think himself honored by having bis arm during a stroll down St. James' street; and a duchess would tremble at his decision, as to what would stamp her unfashionable or otherwise. Such was Beau Brummell, in the height of his glory, as a man of fashion.— The leader of ton, the intimate of the nobility, the{despot of the realVii; of taste. WhiDt a poor and contemptible life ! What a waste of existence ! But was he happy ? Ah, no ! Proud and conceited, he imagined his success would continue unbroken ; but he was soon to discover that all was evanesccnt as the mirage.
