Her complexion seems, i par-: <• - parent red and white; showing tho vv nv 1 think she dresses with more taste and t|r gance, take her cue time with another, any o her woman I have known ini’arts. Site is beautiful to appearance, and I can scarct-U believe her faded, though I am ’old that 'he is; and that the grand climacteric of her charms was some fifteen or twenty years ago, when she Was of the most udmiied beauties at (he court of Vi-min i. When I first saw her, I oisrod her on the Stairs, ns she was going mil with her hat on.—- She struck mo at first sight as a model of real elegance. I thuughl her a worn hi of twenty five. In figure, is of medium height, slight and delicate. On doser examination, I should have thought her more than twnnty-five,—it might *be thirty. She'-has a son about Iwen’tv. She affects nothing girlish in her dress, but wears mbst those things which are common to iii’idi and matrons. Nor is there ever :mv thing about her appearance which could offend the eye of prudery i'self. I would you could have seen her is she came to our dinner table yesterday dressed for the O|jera, where she his a box far the season. Her dress was silk velvet, of rich in noon color, nude to tit her shape i xicth; —or her shape to fi' th it, I c ui'io’ siy which; Inn there were no exaggeration by which to detect art. — her throat was slightly displayed through a frill ol blonde lace, —her belt w is perfectly match ed in color with her <lress, and fistened with exactness by an elegant buckle. A golden «hain was thrown over her shoulders, depend ing with a graceful sweep over back, and in front falling to her delicate waist—her black hair, it might be her wig, was tastefully cttrlod &, arranged over her forehead A: set off her clear complexion, which blended tiie rose and lilly. Her h.it was of surpassing elegance, neither too largo or toosmill, worn as if placed by the bands of the graces. Its color was the shade of a fiesh damask rose. A slight trimfiling of the same color rose a little above the top of the crown, nnd over the front was thrown ti beautiful curtain of white blonde. I think 1 Live seen her wear a small tuft of white plumes on tho same hat; but she probably thinks with the blonde this would bo overdressing, and she always hits the precise- mark. Our l iench ladies admire and praise her taste, and often appeal to it, though they sometimes make a profound ci ittqno after she his left the room. She is the lady in her m Hiners, us in her dress. Her language has its own peculiar style. But amidst tho b idinage, llieio is a something in her ex press! ms, as well as in the twinkle of her bright dark eye, and in her laugh, that is sometimes ns if she derided those to whom she spoke. They call her witty. 1 should think her suiiic.il. Onco when we were in the saloon for the evening, she rately shows herself before din ner, and no gentleman present, w? were looking at one <>f the prints of the Journal drs )l > les, which I iv upon lhe centre table, she came up, broke into one of her giggling, itiiiiicdl Hughs and i.najcJi itclv threw her- j Svlf Inlo the stiff affected attitude of lhe CID | ; graved figure.

With out any intim Hinn from any source, the si lence was broke by the bride and bridegroom :ismg; he takes ofi his hat, and takes the tn ide bv the hand, and says- “I, George Fox, take tb.ee, Maria L.

When this is ■I -”i’, ihe groom puls on his h it, and both sit down. Immediately two young friends, grooms men, place a table before them, and unfold upon it a mighty parchment scroll, upon which he groom and the bride enter their names. I'he scroll is then handed to oue of the speak ers, who takes off his hat and leads it to the meeting. The pn-port of it is, that George Fox and Maria L. Clark, having previously signified to the meeiin ’ their intention of be coming husband and wife, their parents hav ing given their and there being no objection, they hid publicly promised lo love each oilier as husband and wife, until death, and had signed that certificate of which we were witnesses. This done, the speaker who ; had addressed the meeting shakes hands with I the friend nearest to him, which was the sig nil that the meeting hid broken up. In all plus ceremony there was a solemnity and a : propriety with which I was pleased. There I is no agency of clergymen m magistrates, as with other denominations. But lhe parties marry themselves. But it is essential that i they should du this al the meeting. In this 1 instance, the groom was the junior member i of one of our first mercantile houses, and the 1 bride was ihe daughter of one of our most res pectable lawyers. A YANKEE TRICK.

Her ready answer was, “I read the paper through every week---! am very fond of newspapers, for 1 find so many interesting things in them and they learn me to read.” We then mentioned that we should thi'idi she would occasionally forget tire day local). she “did no: forget, for she was always so ■ anxious tn get the paper.” This little girl comes to school daily about a mile and a half, and exhib its a degree o! intelligence and womanhood which we should like to see imitated by so'inc older feaih rer-headed females, who gosltopping with ladies' men, and do not read the papers As a contranst with the little girl we will state i another fact. About ten days since, two young , men came into the office to see us print.

Their answer was, “No we have of en asked iiini to take the papers, but he won’t doit” What a commentary is this upon the • •‘march of intellect.” For the want of a newspa per which would cost but three dollars a year, and a few dollars laid out in schooling, a whole family is brought up in ignorance, and can hardly tell the difference between the right hand and left.
