TYLER’S AGUE AND FEVER PILLS. _
NO CUKE NO PAY.
A CERTAIN, safe and effectual enre for
Ague and Fever, in all its varied forms. Al
so, an excellent Tonic in Dyspepsia, Palpitation
of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Neuralgia, Nerv
ous and other diseases, which arise from a weak
and debilitated condition of the system.
These pills are prepared by Dr. G. K. Tyler, a
regularly educated physician, who from many;
years experience, can confidently recommend
them as the best remedy for Ague and Fever ever
offered to the public ; having frequently tested
their great curative power upon those who had
long suffered under the troublesome and danger
ous diseases.
Several eminent physicians who have obtained
a high standing for their successful treatment of
Ague and Fever, use this preparation, and assert
that they have never known a single instance
where it was taken as directed, that it did not
effect a permanent and lasting cure.
These pillscontain neither mercury or arsenic,
nor any thing thatxran injure the system—but on
the contrary, may be taken where a medicine of
this kind is needed, not only with perfect safety,
but with the most decided advantage.

VEGETABLE ANTI-BILLIOUS FAMILY PILLS,

matory, Nervous and Putrid Fever, Pain in
the Head, Side, Back and Stomach,; Inflam
mation of the Brain,'Stomach, Lungs, Liver,
Kidneys, Throat and Chest , 4-c.
DR. GORDON’S PILLS are truly the sick
man’s friend. No Traveller or Family
should be without them. Their timely adminis
tration will preveut much.pain and suffering, and
save many valuable lives.
These Pills were compounded by Dr. Gordon
after years of study and careful observation upon
the nature of different medicines, and the effect
which they produce upon different constitutions
in various forms of disease. They have been ex
tensively used by some of our most eminent:
Physicians, and by many private families for sev
eral years; and such has beeu the satisfaction
which they have given, that it is firmly believed
that the vegetable kingdom does not furnish any
materials for a purgative medicine, which sur
passes forgeneral use, those of which these pills
are composed. They do not contain Calomel,
Mercury or any mineral preparation ; but are
composed entirely of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and so combined as
to be Certain, Safe, and Easy in their operation
—should it be otherwise, the stomach and bowels
contain foul and acrid bilious matter—showing
great necessity for purgative medicine.
The Bowels being the principal channel th rough,
which a great portion of the impurities of the sys- !
tera are discharged, it is evident that whatever
acts beneficially on them must be conducive to
health.
If a physician is called to a patient, what is the
first thing done ? He prescribes a dose or two of
purgative medicines.; and then, after a day or
two, if the patient is no better, he gives him an
other dose of purgative medicine, and so on ; do
ing some other little things —but the main reli-i
ance for a cure is upon the effect produced by
purgative medicines. Therefore ifyou are sick
delay not, but take a few doses of Dr. Gordon’s,
Vegetable Family Pills, and be again restored to 1
health. For sale by

if any person thus afflicted will use them, they

HAMILTON FEMALE SEMINARY.
THE undersigned, citizens of Hamilton,
take great pleasure in announcing to Parents
residing in Harris and the adjoining counties,
who wish to have their daughters thoroughly in
structed, morally and intellectually, that they
have secured the services of Miss Mary A. and
Miss Amanda C. Wilson, for the ensuing scho
lastic year. In addition to the facilities usually
enjoyed at other institutions for the acquirement
of knowledge, the Hamilton Female Seminary
will afford many that are peculiar. Not the least
of these advantages, in the opinion of the sub
scribers, is that it will be under the exclusive con
trol of young ladies, who are sufficiently experi
enced, and who are deficient in no qualification
requisite to a faithful and judicious performance
of the task they will undertake. It will be ob
served by a glance at the list of studies pursued
in the different departments, that no useful branch
of education is omitted, and that the pupils of
this Seminary will have no cause to lament the
inadequacy of the Course. But besides this, the
Misses Wilson have exhibited to the subscribers
the most satisfactory testimonials of their exalted
moral worth, amiability of manners, and their
competency to impart a full knowledge ofthose
sciences included in the subjoined course ofin
struction. Parents who reason correctly upon
the subject of education, will estimate very high
ly these unrivaled advantages.

Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine,
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New
York, immediately on their arrival by the British
steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white
paper, and are faithful copies of the originals—
Blackwood’s Magazine being an exact sac-simile
of the Edinburgh edition.
The wide-spread fame of these splendid Peri
odicals renders it needless to say much in their
praise. As literary organs, they stand far in ad
vance of any works of a similar stamp now pub
lished, while the political complexion of each is
marked by a dignity, candor and forbearance.not
often found in works of a party character.
They embrace the views of the three great
parties in England— Whig, Tory and Radical.—
“ Blackwood” and the “London Qaartcrly” are
Tory; the “Edinburgh Review,” IFhig: and the
“Westminster” Radical. The “ Foreign Quar
terly” is purely literary, being devoted princi
pally to criticisms on foreign Continental works.’
The prices of the re-prints are less than one
third of those of the foreign copies, and while
they are equally got up, they afford all that ad
vantage to the American over the English reader

From the Western Continent.
It is scarcely necessary, to enable our readers
to appreciate the following touching stanzas,
that we should inform them they are from the
pen of a young officer now in the service of his
country in Mexico. Col. Henry R. Jackson,
Commander of the Georgia Regiment, is per
haps the youngest officer of his rank in the Ar
my, being not more than twenty-five years of
age. When called to the responsible station he
now holds, be left a young wife, to whom he
was most ardently devoted, a large circle of ad
miring friends, and a lucrative profession, in
which he was rapidly rising to that eminence
for which he is fitted by a high order of talents.
There are some cool-headed people who will
doubtless censure him for sundering such ties,
and hazarding so much for the glory of military
renown. But those who know him as we do—
who know the high-toned chivalry of his nature,
the noble impulses of his patriotic heart—will
understand the motives that impelled his course,
and sympathise with him in the fortune that a
waits him. The editor of the Savannah Re
publican, in introducing the-versesto his readers,
thus remarks :
“We publish with great pleasure the follow
ing beautiful and touching Stanzas from the pen
of one well known in our city. They were en
closed in a private letter from the author to the
editor, dated at Camargo, Sept 23, 1845.
Though penned amid the turmoif and bustle of
the camp, they breathe the true poetic inspira
tion, and are marked by that vigor of thought
and elegance of diction, |by which many
of the author’s productions are characterized.—
Though now far separated from those of whom
he speaks so tenderly, he is yet in a noble ser
vice; one in which we trust himsell and his brave
men under him, may win laurels worthy of
their daring deeds, amply sufficient to repay
them for all-their toils, privations and sufferings.”
MY WIFE AND CHILD.
The tattoo heats—the lights are gone—
The camp around in slumber lies—
The night, with solemn pace, moves on—
The shadows thicken o’er the skies—
But sleep my weary eyes hath fiown,
And sad, uneasy thought arise.
I think of thee, oh'! dearest one !
Whose love mine early life hath blest—
Os thee and him—our baby son—
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast;
God of4he tender, frail, and lone,
Oh! guard that little oleeper’s rest!—
And hover, gently hover near
To her whose watchful eye is wet; —
The mother, wife, the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love so deep and clear,—
And cheer her drooping spirit yet.
Now as she kneels before thy throne
Oh ! teach her, Ruler of the skies !
That while by thy behest alone
Earth’s mightiest powers fail or rise,
No tear is wept to thee unknown,
Nor hair is lost, nor sparrow dies !.
That thou.cans’t stay the ruthless hand
Os dark disease, and sooth the pain.;
That only by thy stern command
The battle’s lost, the soldier’s slain ;
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bring’st the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wet cheek is sadiy pressed,
May happier visions beam .upon
The brightening currents of her breast,
Nor frowning look, nor angry tone
Disturb the sabbath of her rest.
Wherever Fate those forms may throw,
Loved with a passion almost wild,
By day, by night, injoy or woe,
By fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled,
From every danger, every foe,
Oh.! God, protect my wife and child!

DESCRIPTION OF MONTEREY.
Correspondence of tire Times.
Camp Allen, near Monterey ;
700 miles torn the “Hallsofthe Montezumas,”
20th Oct. 184 C.
My Dear Sir:—l have never forgotten the re
quest you made me on the morning of our de
,parturc from Columbus ; and but for the pressure
of other duties which have required me in a mea
sure, to forego private correspondence, I should
have had this pleasure long ago. This place, at
the time of our arrival here, about a week after
the “elephant” passed through, when all was
hurry and excitement, offered a fine field for
letter writers; but having had the arduous and
responsible duties of Commissary and Quarter-
Master lucklessly imposed uponme,lhave hard
ly had leisure to sleep and eat —still less to write;
and have consequently been disappointed of the
pleasure and profit I had hoped to derive by an
“early appearance on the boards.” There is,
however, much yet left to glean that possesses
interest, if not novelty—and perhaps the more
when remembered .that it was gathered by the
hand of a friend.
The land between this place and Mier, a dis
tance of 125 miles, is, with the exception of some
gentle undulations, a vast plain, covered with
a dense, scrub undergrowth. Trees large
enough for a respectable shade, areas scarce as
white folks—“that is to say”—arc a curiosity
when met with, until you approach the neigh
borhood of the mountain country, The soil is
apparently rich, but, probably for the want of
water, uncultivated, except upon the banks of
creeks, where corn, sugar cane and grain grow
luxuriantly. These creeks are small and separ
ated by long intervals, one is genet ally warned
of his vicinity to tkem by the appearance of a
rancho, or village—places that seem to be the
only parts of the country that are inhabited.
The scenery is flat and monotonous as the ocean
in a calm, until you come within 90 or 100 miles
of Monterey, when the distant range of the
“Madre,” called the “Sierra Madre,” at the foot
of which I am now writing, looms up in majestic
grandeur. The first time it opened upon our
vision, it was a subject of doubt ior some hours,
whether the mountains were not far off thunder
clouds, that promised ’ere long to pour refreshing
showers upon our burning brows. But what a
thrill of joy ran through the breast of the poor
Georgian, when it was fairly settled that he had
at last found something in this strange land upon
which he could turn his partial gaze with linger
ing delight—something to recall the fond asso
ciations that cluster .around the old hills and
green woods of his native home. If it were pos
sible to transcribe my own feelings, I should run
the risk of being laughed at for my extravagance,
or suspected of having taken to intoxicating
drinks. Suffice it, that we beheld them for sev
en long and weary days emerging gradually
from beneath the thick veil of.smoke and mist
with which the distance clothed them, as if in
mercy to unfold by degrees their ravishing charms
upon our fascinated gaze. They appeared in
that part toward* which our in arch was directed;
a collection of immense pyramids of various sizes
thrown irregularly together; and one, that tow
ered above the rest, like the dorue of a Turkish
mosque that overlooked a city sf oriental magni
ficence. And what added .to the romantic charm,
the wizard fancy wove around us, was the feel
ing of adventure which the supposed danger of
sour -march inspired. “We had reliable informs-
NUMBEII 49.
tion that Canales’ ban Jit clan were lying in wait
to capture the immense treasures witli which we
were supposed to be loaded ; and every little in
cident that transpired on the road went to con
firm more and more the universal belief. We
felt at every step and turn as if ar>out to re-euact
some of those famous deeds of the days of chival
ry that have made the heroes of old Spain and
her wild mountain passes famous in the legends &
romances of the peninsular wars. It would have
made the people of Georgia proud of the repre
sentatives of her valor to have witnessed the pa
tience of the weak and the eagerness of all to try
their steel upon a foe that was said to out num
ber twice their own. And there is no doubt
now in the minds of any in the army that we
should have been attacked if victory had perched
at Monterey upon the banners of the enemy. At
the very point where we were informed that Ca
nales would attack us, we were met by some dra
goons with a train of 1200 mule*, bringing the
news of the splendid but bloody triumph of our
arms—and such a shout as made the welkin
ring, “was never heard before and will be ne’er
again.” We now came, for the first time since
we left “ America,” to clear streams and cool
springs, the beverage from which was fully worth
a ten days pilgrimage to taste. Like Paul when
he came to “the three taverns,” we thanked
God and took courage—not “ Dutch courage”
for we had passed all danger and had no longer
need of that and if good old sherry or Kiv’s best
1805 brandy had run in torrents side by side
with these beautiful rivulets of sparkling “Adam’s
ale,” they would have run on to the ocean un
tasted, until the fountains bf the latter had been
exhausted. This may be reasor.ably doubted
upon hearsay evidence, but could not have been,
by lookers on.
When we came to Marin, about 20 miles dis
tant, Dr. Hoxey ascended with me the belfrey of:
the Cathedral, and we looked in the direction of
Monterey but saw nothing. He was sure it
could not be in the spot pointed out to us by both
Americans and Mexicans ; and swore it was not
more than 8 or 4 miles tothe foot of that mountain,
for he could see di-.tinctiy every tree and shrub
the whole way. This deception arose from the
fac’ that a gradual descent commences within 10
or 15 miles olthe city and continues to its very
walls—so that the objects that were visible for 4
or 5 miles distant appeared to be directly at the
base of the mountains where the plain was ter
minated by the ascending cliffs. This deception
which had lasted for 4 or 5 days, still encourag
ed us to renewed efforts to reach speedily the
point of our destination ; and we continued on,
mest of us wrapt in wonder and delight, or awed
into silence and thoughtfulness, by the splei.did
scene of beauty and grandeur that lay stretched
out before us. It appeared like a vast panorama,
representing some of those celebrated views of
the Switzerland that transferred to the page or
the canvass, have immortalized the pen of the
poet or the pencil of the artist; —for they seem
not to belong to this country, and are altogether
out of place here—they rise so abruptly from the
?plain, and the country around is so common
place and insipid to the view. Strange as it
may seem to you, I found myself, in one of my
‘wandering reveries, doubting whether they were
not imported from oriental land by some old race
ofgiaiits, that, once upon a time, condemned for
horrid crimes to inhabit this desolate region, de
termined to disappoint the fates and make this
to resemble the mountain homes from which
they were exiled ; but were arrested before their
beautiful design was accomplished by the cruel
hand of their tantalising tormentor and compell
ed to have the foreground incomplete, without a
single ornament to relieve its naked deformity.
Had this been classic ground of Grecian my
thology, such a fancy would have quite naturally
occurred to their heathen souls, and been em
bodied in somo mystic fable for the amusement
of tyros and the instruction of the wise. But
this is a digression—not altogether out of place,
however; for it may afford you some aid in form
ing a faint idea of the picture.
As we approached cur present encampment,
about five miles from Monterey, the rising of a
clear sun upon a cloudless sky regaled our fam
ished fancies with a greater variety of beauties
than they could have fed upon in a months trav
el in the famous Cherokee country of our own
native Georgia. I mean no disrespect to their
majestic charms—for these have beauties pecu
liarly their own—but they are “beautiful ex
ceedingly.” There is one mountain which, like
a Cleopatra among women, attracts universal ad
miration. The stupidest dolt would stop as he
passed by and look back again upon its tran
scendant loveliness. Monterey lies, fronting the
north, along the base of the range that runs east
and west, extending on the west to the foot of a
mountain that meeting it perpendicularly from
the north, forms a right angle. In the opening
between the too ranges, through which passed
the road to Saltillo, there appears beyond the
others a mountain that surpasses in picturesque
beauty, any thing the imagination can conceive.
It seems made ol a kind of basaltic rock of light
grey arul dark granite color, like the lights and
shadows of a monochromatic sketch, and has the
appearance of having been irregularly hewn in
columnar shapes by the hand of art. The bril
liant contrasts of light and shade, and, at times,
their gentle intermingling, as the sun, when con
cealed behind the surrounding • heights, shines
upon it alone, while the foreground still veiled
in shadows, present a striking resemblance to
the richest kind of changeable silk, seen at even
ing by the resplendent light of a conceded chan
delier, and beneath a robe of doHeate gauze,
slight as the beams of light wili*. which the fai
ry Mab reined in the course:,, 0 f the air. The
“visioned poet” in his breams, so fair a sight hath
never yet beheld z.s mocked the warrior’s frown
ing gaze the rhorning he marched forth to this
field of blood aud carnage. Such a scene in the
presence of an American army upon its native
soil, when pressed by the hostile foot of an inva
ding foe, would have made a soldier a hero—in
spiring deeds of daring that would have been
hung high for the admiration of future ages; and
should, methinks, have infused into the besotted
soul of the degenerate Mexican, something of
•the fire of the old Castilian valor. How must
the heart of the true Mexican patriot have sunk
within him as he heheld the flag of his country,
trailing in the dust, and turned, as many of them
thought, “a last fond, lingering look” upon the
terrestrial paradise he called his home.
You will, no doubt, think this description a
fancy sketch, owing to nature but few of its at
tractive colors but I beg you to believe that, al
though in old times fond of youthful reveries, I
have now settled down into a plain matter-of-fact
man; and that I began with the hondkt purpose
of giving you a faithful transcript of the images
made upon my mind by the objects around me;
and if I have failed, it has been only for the want
of skill in arranging the choicest colors of the
imagination to decorate the picture withal. It
requires the hand of genius to do justice to the
subject. I have read thus far to one or two men
of taste and judgement,vho say they seein lhe pic
ture nothing overwrought or extravagant. This
landscape, however, appears different to different
minds, and at different times to the same mind.
As I went last week -to visit some of the much
talked of gardens of Monterey, some light feath
ery clouds that circled like a garland of white
roses, .the brow of the highest mountain, aud
some dense ones that concealed all but the glit
tering summit ofthe “Camanche saddle” on the
left, made me pause in rapture, as if suddenly in
the presence of a sceno entirely new. The
clouds assumed all kinds of fantastic shapes—
resting on some peaks like turbans on the jewelled
head of princes, and floating robes of white -a
round the zone of others—here sailing like flocks
of swan 3 above the lofty dome ofthe Cathedral, &
there, touched by the “dawn’searliest light,” re
vealing giant shapes that fancy deemed the dwel-
Jers that inhabit the mountain caves—the Vulcanfe
that there forge thunder bolts for Jupiter. Bvlt
endless would be the task to describe, and tedi
ous perhaps, to read the infinite variety of charm
ing sights which this wonderful region offers to
the loVera of the wild aiid grand, and picturesque
in nature. There is but little room and lefe
time left me to give you some equally incredible
accounts of this city of enchantment. But toy
letter would be incomplete end ‘ttusalnfkctory
without a description ot the gardens,droits and
flowers that form the main attraction‘tD'the visi
tor. And I must insist that you dWt *prve mo
your confidence, if I have lost it by ‘whit ,pre
cedes. Capt. Howard, who arrived here-* *d*v
or two ago, says he did not believe on* *ha!f
he heard about it, but now says the one bstlf ball
nut been told him. I always supposed the “A
rabian Night’s enchantments” a fiction, biit
am every day, more and more convinced that it
is a plain narative of facts; and that Dr. D*j-
Gralfenried knew what he was writing about
when he held the public mouth agape with
wonder at his celebrated description of Oregon.
-E very body asks you if you have yet visited
Arista’s garden; aud although greatly inferior In
rural beauty to many others, it fl worthy<of par
ticular notice on account of the splendor of it*
design. It contains Bor 10 acres enclosed by a
high stone wall of finished masonry that appears
like a vast fortification. >lts front is a massive
stone building, elegantly finished,-which you en
ter through arches and pass iiito'a eoionaade in
the rear. Immediately before you on either
hand behold two large stone basins, hewn out
of solid rock, and capable of holding 10 or 16
hogshead each, intiie-eentre of which arise* the
feathery spray of a beautiful fountain of crystal
water. These arc contained in an enclosure of
low wall of solid rock in quadrangular forma, on
each side of which is an entrance, and on each
corner, as also on either side of the entrances,
nicely carved flower pots, filled with rare and
precious plants. On the r ght and lelbof .these
are splendid baths, irom a copious stream of wa
ter that runs transversely across the garden in
an open aqueduct of stone, on the sides of which
are innumerable flower vases. Over this you
pass by steps, also wrought in solid rock,
down into -the main garden which like our own,
is traversed by walks lined with shrubbery and
flowers, ands( aded by hundreds of orange, lime
and citron trees, groaning beneath the weight
of their golden fruit. This house and garden
is now used for one of the numerous hospital*
that contain our sick and wounded, whose worn
and haggard countenances, present*strange con 1
trast to the freshness snd perennial bloom thtft
surround them. Not far below this is another
the residence of a beautiful and accomplished
orphan girl of sweet sixteen—the sole heiress of
its wealth and splendor. Itwas by a rare anQ
lucky chance that I found access to its almost
undisturbed seclusion. Like every other in
Monterey, it is built of stone, and the garden
surrounded by lofty walls, that seem built to pro
tect the inmates against the violence their wealth
might attract during the frequent revolution®
that distract thisunhapyy country. They ; *re
mostly, too, without windows, or with ‘one or
two, strongly barricaded by iron bars, and ‘One
capable ol resisting the assault of small artillery.
As we entered this lovejy retreat, w* passed o
ver the same stream of water,'beneath a bower
of trellised vines that were shaded by the over
hanging branches of the cedar and the dime.—
Before us, and in the centre of the garden where
the main avenues intersect, appeared a guad
rangular observatory that seemed of solid rock,
about ten feet high by five broad, to which wo
ascended by stone steps to the summit, where
we found scats hewn out on each side. (Here
we had an enchanting view of one of those love
ly spots of earth that inspired the genius df BuL
wer, when he described the palace of ! tho|prince
of Como—“a deep vale shut out by Alpine‘hills
Irom the rude world; n-- ar a clear lake, margined
by fruits of gold and-whispering myrtles, where
every air is heavy with the sighs of orange groves,
and murmurs of low fountains that gush forth
in the midst of roses.” There lay before us,
growing in rich luxuriance,'the orange, lime, cit
ron and shaddock; the'pomegranatc, banana,co
coa and pecan trees, and various other tropical
fruits and plants; together with figs, apples,
plums and pears, and peach trees in full bloom.
These were set off in beautiful relief by evefy
variety of flowers of “rare and roseate hues, such
as I would have thy fate, Pauline.” When we
stopped by the side of sparkling fountains to
pull the red rose and variegated pink, the sensi
tive touch-me-not and the delicate peach blos
som, and inhaled the intoxicating edors, we
thought of our own Georgia home; and along
the thousand bright Jinks in the-mysterious
chain of association, the wizard memojy darted
to her secret cells and with her magic wand re
vealed to our gaze the cheerful faces and -warm
hearts of those we love, and, to some of us “ah?!
me,” the bright eyes that “ watdh >our coming
and look brighter when we come.” But do ndt
imagine that we cared a fig to be there with
them :—for that would be to pity us. O, no:
we only felt how happy we might be if they
could have all been .here with us. Their pres
ence alone was wanting to crown the summit o’s
our joys. As Capt. Howard walked to-thc>mag
nificont baths in the rear, plucking the golden
fruit that bent in thousands above his head, be
said that if his Aunt J. could be ‘there to see
the choice fruits and shrubbery and flowers-that
were displayed in such rich luxuriance around
us, she would pull up stakes in Georgia sfnd
make this her home. Dr.'Hoxey gathered a
large supply of seeds from'the rarer an£
Maj. Williams and myself ceased castle
ing for a while to gaze upon the Se~
norita, as she sat in the door of her qp'utinent*,
enjoying, whilst sewing, the intoxicating fumes
of the cigarito. The spell wop dissolved—the
beautiful images that, a m/oment before, had
greeted us with smiles, returned to their sacred
cells and we returned to earth, believing after
all, that though homely,” is a sweeter,
lovelier p'.'ace than this.
7.city is full of gardens like those I have de-
attached to the heuses of the wealthy citi
zens—most of which arc asyet deserted; tho’, ’tia
said, they are beginning to be inhabited by their
former inmates, who fled from our army with
most of their valuable property; as if they had
thought us, like themselves, Goths and Vandals
conquering but to plunder. For this reason we
have not yet seen many fair specimens of their
finest Castilian style ol beauty. When we at
tend the Cathedral on Sunday,we can occasion
ally however, obtain the sight of a delicate hand
and beautifully rounded arm peering from be
neath the graceful folds of the mantiHa, which
supplies, among ail classes, the place Offibur bon
net and shawl. Sometimes this.envious cover
ing, during the frequent adjustment, shews the
attentive spectator that modesty in dress is fiat
regarded as essential to good taste. Their hair
and eyes arc mostly jet black; their complexion
a light mulatto, though some are almost fair as
Europeans. They have very small hands and
feet and wear not only short dresses, but bustles
that would be called outife by even a Parisian
belle. The lower class appear slovenly; are
unsupplied by stockings and sometimes by shoes,
and disgust you at evey turn by dresses that
open to the waist—and as those you see in the
streets are either old or passfe, they offer any
thing but an attractive spectacle to the beholder.
By the way, I saw, yesterday, in Monterey, an
old, horid hag, who is said to be 165 years of
age, and yet walking about-the city. It is not
at all incredible to any one Who sees her.
