LISETTE.
My light Lisette,
Is gmve and shrewd,
And half a prude,
And half coquette,
So staid and a* ,
So terse and trim,
So arch and prim,
Is my Lisette.
A something settled and precise
Has made a home in both the eyes
01 my Lisette.
The measured motion of the blood.
The words where each one tells.
Too logical for womanhood,
Brief changes rung on silver bells.
The cheek with health’s close kisses warm,
The nnished frame so light.
So h fullness, in a little foini,
As satisfies the sight.
The boddice fitted and exact.
The nui b own tress so lightly curled,
And the whole woman so compact,
Her Lke is nowhere in the world.
Such knowledge in the ways of life.
And household order, such
As might create a perfect wife,
Not careful over much.
All these so moved me,
When we met —
I would she loved me,
Trim Lisette.
What if to-morrow mom I go,
And, in an accent soft and clear.
Lav some three words within her ear?
I think she w< uld not a: s ver no,
And by the tibbon in her bat,
And those untasted lips, I swear
I keep some little doubt as yet
With such an eye,
So grave and sly
Looks my Lisette,
What words may show,
Me yes or no
Os my Lisette.
The doubt is less,
Since last we met;
Let it be “ yes,”
My sweet Lisette.
A Reminiscence.
The Telegraph of last week informs us that Hon. T-
F. Marshall, ol Kentucky, had b**en murdered by one
of his own tenants, in Maysville. We doubted the
truth of it at the time, and we are glad to find that it is
not correct. We know Mr. Marshall very well. He is
one who, with all his faults, possesses a most brilliant
intellect, and a warm, manly heart. Mr. Marshall is,
we should judge, about fifty years of age He is up
wards ot six feet in height, lithe and slenderly formed.
His face is an unerring index of the character of the
man. It is very expressive and pleasing. We first
met Mr. Marshall in Washington in 1 -43. He was then
the representative from the Ashlaud District. It was
his first and iast term in Congress. He came to Wash
ington wi;h the reputation which he had ablv earned in
Kentucky, of being one of he most brilliant ora’ors in
that noble Sta e, celebrated as it is, and has beer., for .Ls
brilliant arrav of orators and statesmen. Marshall came
infoCongressfullof hope, a warm,enthusiastic Kentucky
Whig, and was supposed to be, par excellence, the
confidential friend of Henry Clay. But he bad not been
in Washington many weeks, before dissipation claim
ed him for us own. He broke from Mr. Clay, and they be
came estranged from each other, and were never after
wards reconciled. It was during the first session that
Mr. Marshall was in Congress, that the late John Quin
cy Adams presented a certain petition from Haverhill,
in this State, pravingfor a dissolution of the Union, and
Marshall intioduced a series of resolutions to expel Mr.
Adams from his seat for so doing. The debate upon
these resolutions was, perhaps, one of the most interes
ting and able ever heard in the House of Representa
tives. Marshall was able, but on this occasion he had
to grapple with an opponent unsurpassed for historical
and parliamentary knowledge. Tne speech made by
Marsh ill w. s eloquent anti effective, beyond de -enption;
and Mr. Adams, himself in his reply, complimented
him very highly for it. If we recollect aright, he said
that it was his fortune to be in England when Sheridan
made his celebrated speech on the Warren Hastings
impeachment case, which for power and eloquence he
haa never heard equalled, until he heard the speech of
the gentlernau from Kentnckv. This was quite grati
fying to the vanity of the Kentuckian ; but, as he af
terwards told us, it was but a prelude to the most
dreadful scathing that he ever refer-d. He said that
Mr. Adams used him all up. He left nothing of him.
He was the most dreadful old fellow he ever eocouu
ered, and he would not have his most inveterate eremy
undergo the lashing he had to take. Os course, Mr.
Adams was triumphantly sustained, the tesolutious
were lost, and Mr. Adams retained his seat.
Marshall continued to plunge into dissipation, and
tvas near the depth of the slough when be was rescued
by the active exertions of George N. Briggs, then the
representative of the Berkshire district in Congress.
Me have heard the story of Marshall signing the tern
rerance pledge from both Governor Briggs and Mr. j
Marshall. It was drawn up by the Governor in the
House, and then signed by Marshall, which pledge he
kept during the remainder of his Congressional life, and
for a long time after his return home; indeed, we be
lieve that he has never again returned to his old habits.
While in Congress, and after his reform he visited New
I ot k, and addressed numerous temperance meetings in
that city, and societies were formed, bearing his name
and Ihe name of bis mother It was while he was in
New York, engaged in this great moral enterprise, that
he was most unmercifully attacked in the columns of
the Courier A Enquirier, which led to the duel, which
afterwards he fought with Colonel Webb, and in w hich
Colonel Webb was wounded in the leg.
Marshall returned to Kentucky a disappointed man.
His quarrel with Mr. Clay precluded any probability of
a re-election to Congress from the Ashland district.
Out of this quarrel unquestionably arose his support of
Mr. Polk, in the Presidential canvass in 1844. Mr.
Clay was the opposing candidate; to defeat him, would
Ctify his revenge, and he did bis part to effect the de
which followed. We b- lieve that the Marshall
family never felt very friendly to Mr. Clay. The Mar
shalls were of an older branch of the “first Kentucky
farailes.” When Mr. Clay emigrated a young man
from Virginia to Kentucky, he met with the formidable
opposition both of tne Marshall and the Wickliffe tami
lies. They regarded Clav as an interloper, a young
Man, whose talents made him a rival in their preten
'■ jns of supreme influence let the State, and Humphrey
‘oar-hall, an uncle of Thomas F-, took occasion to insult
Mr. Ciay, which ended in a challenge and a duel.
Thomas F. Marshall has repeatedly represented the
County of Woodford, in the Kentucky Legislature, and

in Kentucky; many of them were good, but tliev and i
uot come up to the ideal standard he had creeled in hie
imagination. He visited Virginia, and heard their lies
speakers; they were not superior to the men of Ken
tucky. On his way home he came to Washington, ami
was told that Mr. \Y ebs’er was to speak on the morrow.
He had beard of Mr. Webster, but knew little of hi
powers as ..n orator, lie was induced to stav and heo:
him, and he obtained a place on the floor of the Sena'e.
where be could look Mr. Webster full in the face. He
heard the speech, and was struck with wonder and de
ligut. It as far exceeded his ideal standard of what the
true orator should beas the others had fallen. “Why, 1
said he, “at times I thought I saw a halo of glort
around his head ; he appeared like one of the immortal
gods, who had come from the skies to euchatn the mind
ot man, and to show bow immeasurably below tin
standard of tiue greatness were we poor mortals of the
earth.” In the last Presidential canvass, Mr Marshall
took the stump for Gen. Scott, and did much towards
giving the vote of Kentucky to the old hero.— Boston

Dnl e of Wellington’s Ball.
After the defeat of Waterloo, the Allied Armies en
tered Paris, where the late Duke of Wellington gave a
grand bal, ol which the author of “ Paris alter Water
loo,” recently published in Loudon, gives the following
graphic account:
“It was nine at night of a hot and most fatiguing
day, my only remaining ambition then being to be lil
ted by some good angel, and put into bed without the
labor of even undressing, I did not move a muscle
without the greatest reluctance, uud lay on a sofa, a
good subject Ibr an experiment of the power of mind
over body, wliicn was the next moment to be made up
on me.
A note arrived, which 1 had just strength to unseat
and read. It said, “ Dress quickly—get a chapeau bras
—jump into a jitter which waits for vou at your hotel
gate —and come off to the Place Yen dome, without ask
ing a question !”, This spoke too plainly to be inisin
terpretted. 1 atigue lied as if by magical influence; I
could have leapt over the house; aud in an incredibly
short time 1 was dressed, hatted, fiacred, and awav, as
directed by mv good genius, and literally without hav
ing put a single interrogation to mv conductor. Arri
ving at my excellent and most considerate fiiend’s ho
tel, 1 was considerably cooled down by finding that he
and a large party, of which Waller Scott was one, had
departed for the ball, leaving on!v a verbal message for
me to follow, and make my way, and, if 1 should find
any difficulty in gaining admission, to call him out,
when he would set ail to rights. Mv first feeling was
that the game was up. Make my way ! call him out!
with the halls, corridors, and staircases ot the palace,
before my embarrassed imagination, crowded with
guards and attendants speakiug all the languages oi
Europe, and splendid multitude in the saloons them
Sj.v amidst which mv fr.cnd appeared lost beyond re
call—the thing seemed impossible! 1 therefore gave
orders to the driver of the fiacre to return to my hotel.
when it occurred to me that, at the worst, it was only
tailing. The object was well worth a bold stroke, auu,
if I should not succeed, I should at least tail in an un
dertaking of no common kind. To the palace, according
ly.l°< Marshal Junot, in the corner of the Pluce Louts
X\ ~ tiieu the residence of the Duke of Wellington, I
heroically d:ove.
In my still doubtful state of mind, I desired that mv
fiacre would wait live minutes for the change of a fare
home, and entered the courtyard. A guard of honor
from each of the allied powers, disj laved by a blaze ot
torch-light, was the hrsi of the s r.kmg Scenes of the
night, the mixture ot troops and nations was as splen
did as it was friendly. In approaching the door ot en
trance an accidental circumstance “ set all to rights’
wi hout the intervention of Sir John Malcolm. An En
glish carriage, with a coronet on its panel, drove up and
and scharged a gentleman and two iad es; 1 stepped back
to give them the lead, but followed so closely, without
m ending tbe effect, that 1 became, to the perceptions
ot all the persons we had to pass, a fourth component of
my lord s party His name alone was announced, and
the two ladies aud I passed halls and staircases with
him, and entered, without question, into the saloon,
where the Duke was receiving his illustrious guests,
the party within the door of which was that of my
f. ienu* . “ Well, you h ve made your way.” “ Yes, *1
have done the most impudent thing I ever done in mv
life.” “ Never mind, you are really an invited guest,
and I will by and by tell you how. lu the meantime,
take tour place with us, and you will learn to know the
guests by hear.ug them announced.” We were fortu
nately early, and no very illustrious visitor had yet ar
rived As we gazed with inteuse curiosity at the door,
nobles, statesmen, generals, marshals, entered it, in ra
pid succession Schwartzeuberg, lieunigsen, Bulow,
Piatoff, Prince Wrede, the hero of Heuau, Barclay de
j T'ffiy, the warriors; with Casileieagh, Metternich Nes-
I selrode, Humboldt, the diplomatists, passed us announc
ed in French. The company included, as might be ex
| pccted, every British officer of distinction. Amidst a
I splendid display of -scarlet mingled with rich foreign
| uniforms, was a prolusion of the uniform of Austria,
j which, being white, gives its wearers, to a British eye,
the appearance of the musicians ot a band. Diamonds
j blazed, and stars, crosses and ribbons were seen in ev
j ery direction, “Son Altessecle l’rince de Benevento”
| was announced, and for the first time I saw, close to
i me, the celebradte Talleyrand.
! The wily politician's appearance surprised us all. It
i did not indicate that superior talent aud vigor which
! had poli.icallv survived re(>eated revoluitons, and warn-
I ed Napoleon imn.-elfof the commencement of the down
• ward movement which hurried lum to his fate.—All
: seemed old beau like about him—a powdered old fash
ioned gentleman, something younger, but much resem
: tiling Lord Ogilby in the play, and as uufit apparently
to govern the diplomacy of Europe. But we did not al
low his countenance to go unscrutinized, and we saw, or
thought we saw, in its very calm and mildness, the
piact sed tranquility of the prince of diplomatists. The
Duke of Otranto, Fouche, soon followed, and we beheld
the minister of police, the mover of the most tremen
dous engine of tyranny known to modern times He
looked the office well, aud it was very exciting to see,
almost to touch, a man whose name had exercised a
sway of terror, not exceeded by Napoleon’s own. A
bustling cortege of officers and aides de camp, with a
veteran at their head, were explained by the announce
ment. “Bon Altesse Serenissinie le Prince Blucher.”—
On his entry there was a rush to gaze upon him, and a
strong feeling experienced when the Duke of Welling
ton met him naif way down the saloon with a hearty
shake ol both hands. Walter iScott was, I remember,
moved to t -ars, and said to me: “ Look at that—a few
weeks ago these two men delivered Europe!” The
spectacle, by the way, seemed to make an unusually
deep impression upon this talented person. Wonder
and veneration sat upon his countenance during the
whole of the evening, to the marked diminution of its
usually intelligent expression; and he appealed like a
man engrossed by mastering feelings, as was the
Frenchman, who, overpowered by tbe beauties of Loch
Katrine, when asked what he thought, answeied, *• I do
not think—l only feeL” Our common Edinburgh
friends remarked his extraordinary aspect.
Crowds of every day rank and nameless beauty con
tinued to arrive, and we all acknowledged our ungal
lant indifference to what is the chief adornment of or
dinary balls, the charms of the ladies, with a virtuous
reservation that it was for once only in our lives. In
the midst of some gay chat upon this subject, our eyes
i were suddenly called to the folding doors, when, on
their flying open, we learned that the next entrant was
to be a monarch. In louder accents than usual we heard
the following announcement: “Sa Majeste le Roi dc
I’russe—leur Altesses Royals les Princes Royal de Prus
se—le Due de Meckliuburg.” The king entered with his
splendid cortege, and, after being solemnly received by
the illustrious host of the night, aud shortly conversing
with him passed on among the gay crowd, and joined a
circle, the centre of which was Lady Castlereagh, and
one of its components the veteran Blucher. This mon
arch had been remarked in Paris for gentlemanlike ap
pearance and great plainness of circumstances lie
seemed about 4-> years of age, and would have passed
for a well bred English gentleman. There was also ob
served a sober and rather melancholy expression of
countenance imputed to his great loss in bis amiable
queen. His two sons were mere youths. The Prince
of Orange followed, pale from his recent wound, and
with his arm in a sling. He spoke some time with the
Duke of Wellington, and then joined the circle of Lady
Castlereagh. I observed General Alva much beside the
Duke; he had distinguished himself by writing a spirit-,
|ed account of tbe battle. After all hud assembled
there was no figure present which commanded a larger
share of attention than the Duke of Wellington. His
person was new to she majority of the company. It was
a most exciting novelty to those who had fbl'owed him
only in the Gazette, during his career of victory ; and
there was an eagerness to get his form into the memory
by studving it well. I’e was in field-marshal's uniform,
and seemed in remarkably good, and even high spirits,
as betilted thegay occas o■. He was seen in every room,
noticing every oue whom he at all knew, uud conversing
with manv in the most frank and easy manner. It was
sa;d that he was induced to dance, but I did not witness
this proof that tbe hero of Waterloo, the pacificator of Eu
rope, was after all a mortal man, and a dancing animal!
The most powerful sovereigns in Europe seemed to
shrink beside this sou of au English baton; mere ex
tenia! rank being felt as little or nothing in comparison
with the greatness of commanding intellect aud the
merit of ha< iug wrought out the deliverance of main
nations.”
The Grave of Presidsnt Tatlor.— A correspon
dent of the N. Y. Oi/tirttr, writes as follows, on a sub
ject which ought to be of natioual interest:
•‘To reach Gen. Taylor's grave, you must wind
through by ways, and finally stop before a small enclo
sure on the top of a hill in an open field, surrounded b\
a rude stone wall; and just on the other side of the wall
vou will see a very plain vault, with a front of limestone
rocks, roughly hewn, and an iron door, and that you
will be told, is the tomb of the once-tamous Gen. Zacha
ry Taylor, President of the United States of America
No monument has been erected to his niemorv. His
name has not even been inscribed on his vault.. In
the centre of the smail grave-yard there is a monument
erected to the memory of his father, Col. Richard lay
lor, a revolutionary soldier.”
Five years ago, Gen. Taylor was the idol of the na
tion !
Resignation of Professors. — Wm. B. Rogers, Pro
fessor of Natural Philosophy, Geology and Mineralogy,
and J. Lawrence Smith, Professor of Chemistry and
Meteria Medica. have resigned their respective pro es
sortsbips in the University of Virginia, to take effect at
the close of the present session, the 2‘Jtb of June.
Dying by Diet. —“ My Dear Punch ;— l saw a funny
thing ia the paper ihe other day—it was headed ‘Curi
ous Physiorical 1 1 hope I have spelt tbe word right)
Discovery ’ It said that Monsieur Roulin had been
feeding siik worms with food of and fferent colors, and by
that means making them spin silk ot the same color as
the food. And it also mentioned that the very bones of
animals may be tinged with what they eat.” Law! I
wonder if it is the same with a human being—and if so,
waoiher it would be possible to affect the completion
by food. I would be so nice to be able to obtain a clear
leiicate color that would wash, without being obliged
to resort to any of those preparations. And then how
tunnv to have it in one’s power to be eitlier a blonders
or a brunette, according to one’s fancy, or us might be
found convenient—and per haps to change from one to
ihe oth r f desired, or advisable. Can you, dear Puruh,
or any of your scientific friends, tell me if there are anv
articles of diet which have the power to make these al
terations, and what they are? for I should so like to
know. I should not mind their taste very much—
though, of oonrae I should rather they were nice: only
fancy how delightful to realize a beautiful white neck,
hand and arms, by a course of open jam tarts! A word
in answer to your Julia.”
Julia must not think about open jam tarts. Tbe ef
fect of such delicacies in a complexioual point of view
may lie called pitnplific. Julia is probably not disposed
to be blue; but that is the only tint which it is possible
to acquire by such means us those to which she alludes ;
it may be obtained bv perseverance in small doses of
nitrate of silver, at the risk simply of being poisoned.—
Plain living and plenty of exercise will effect the
cst alteration in respect of hue that the cheek of a
young lady can undergo: namely, to fresh, pore, and
glowing, from dull, spotty, and sallow. Julia is recom
mended to trv oatmeal porridge. She should not eat
too much bread and butter — Punch .
The Kane Expedition to the Polar Seas. —Dr
Kane has returned to New YoTk from bis visit to
Washington, where he proceeded to obtain his instruc
tions from the Navy Department. Mr. Dobbin, and all
the members of the Cabinet, it is said, take great inter
est iti the expedition, but we are unable to give him
inijHirtant material aid, in consequence of Congress
having restricted them in all such matters. He will,
however, sail about the 15tli of May, in th.v brig Ad
vance, furnished by Mr. Grinuell. Several members of
the (jrintiell expedition have volunteered their services
in this second American effort. The whole band will
not exceed thirty persons, including some Esquimaux
who are to join the party. Sir Edward Parry, the Ross
es, and other well-known Arctic authorities have, by
order ot the British admiralty, written suggestive let
ters, affording valuable practical information relating
to sledge travel. The letters were accompanied by
presents of field-compasses und India-rubber clothing
and sledges valuable to the party. Tbe vessels are pro
visioned for three years. The provisions consist o!
meat, biscuit, condensed milk, dessicated vegetables.—
Tbe little brig (the Advance) which is to c mvey ihe
gallant party to their scene of operations has been mag
nificently fitted out by Mr. Grinuell. The sledges in
addition to their scanty cargo of food, will carry an
india-rubber boat, spread upon basket or wicker work.
Dogs will be used freely to carry out depots of food
for the little party.
A Dashing Dentist. —Among the Paris gossip of
tbe New York Ec/yriss, we find the following picture of
a Parisian Dentist:
“ You have quack dentists in New York, of course,
as we have them iu Paris, but I doubt whether you can
boast of such a tremendous operator as M. Diichense,
to whom I have already alluded, in your columns.—
This gentleman rides about town in a highly illumina
ted wagon with a roof to it. Upon the roof is a man
dressed in the costume of the middle ages, and armed
with a pair of cymbals and a bass drum He stands in
front, with a helmet and feather, and surruttnded with
ihe instruments of his profession. He stops in some un
frequented place, collects a crowd by means of the cym
bals, and then invites the afflicted to apply at once for
i xtno touan ! relief. A notice on the siaes of the wagou
reads thus: “5,000 francs if I miss a tooth.” This is
surrounded by a halo of double teeth, the roots of which
are painted to resemble parsnips, and out of whose cen
■res grow a plentiful crop of ladies’ delight. As I have
long since accustomed myself to be surprised at noth
ing, I am never astonished to see a line formed by the
victims of the toothache, taking their turn at having
the nerve eradicated. This line sometimes extends
twice round the wagon. Each sufferer pavs a franc,
nd leaves his tooth behind him. I had always sup
posed it requires as much reflection to have a tooth out,
as to jump into Vesuvius, but the French do not think
so. A maid servant passes M. Duchesne’s equipage,
remembers a sore spot in her upper jaw, feels her pock
et for a franc, and joins the tail end of the line. Each
applicant mounts on the seat with M. Duchesne, who
demands the coin before proceeding. The head is then
inclined backwards, the mouth opened, the tweezers
Inserted, and the tooth snatched irom its gory bed. It
is held up in the air for an instant for the admiration ot
the multitude, and at each extrication to a■•... K ivo
bang of triumph.”
Snails as Food. —Hunt's Merchant'* Magazine for
March, introduces the following delicious morsel to its
readers as an item ol Mercantile Miscellany:
“ We learn from our Parisian contemporaries that
the snail is becoming a fashionable article of diet, and
that for several months past a particular place has been
appropriated for their sale in tne Paris fish market, in
the southeast angle, near the lobsters and fresh water
fish. ,Snails, says one of the French journals, were
highly esteemed by the Romans, our masters in gas
tronomy, and are now raised in many of the depart
ments with success. In the sixteenth century the Cap
uchins of Fribourg recovered the art of breeding and
fattening snails, an art which is not lost in our day,
for in h ranche-Coinpte, Loraine and Burgundy, they
raise excellent snails, which find a sure demand in the
Paris market.
There are now fifty restaurants and more than twelve
hundred private tables in Paris where snails are accep
ted as a delicacy by from eight thousand to ten thous
and customers. The monthly consumption of this mol
lust-an is estimated at half a million. The market price of
the great vineyard snails is from 2f. soc. to Sf. 60c. per
hundred, while those of the hedges, woods and forests,
bring only from 2f. to 2f. s<>c. The propriety of the
snaillery vicinity of Dijon, is said to net over 7,000
francs annually.
On which the editor of the N. O. I!ee remarks:
“ Start not, fair reader, when wc add our editorial irn
prwtatur to the excellence of snails when properly
cooked; with a rich, peppery sauce, we know of tew
edibles more delicious than this unsightly, but fine fla
vored reptile. They are almost as fine eating as frogs,
and the latter is au apician morsel for tbe iiiscrimina
ting gastronome.
New Liquor Law in France. —ln certain parts of
France, the Prefects have lately passed several decrees,
subjecting the inhabitants to the controlling action of
stututes not unlike your liquor laws. The object is dif
ferent, however. It is not to prevent the laborers and
working classes from drinking wine, but to induce them
to drink it at home with their tumiles, and not at the
wine shop with their lx>on companions. There is all
the difference in the world between the two manners
of drinking. A man may drink to quench his thirst,
and he is not likely to take more than is good for him.
Or he mav drink because someone has offered to treat,
and then he is apt to taste too much, to waste a good
deal of time, and to fall into bad company and bad ha
bits.
In a Southern department, dram drinking at the
counter has been almost broken up bv a happy idea of
the Prefects. A law existed to the effect that no smal
ler quantity of wine than thirity gallons, or there
abouts, could be bought at once for home consumption.
Poor people could not afford to purchase such a quanti
ty at a time, and so they bought it by tbe glassful. The
Prefect repealed this law, reducing the limit of whole
sale purchase to six gallons. He induced the wine dea
lers to have little casks made to contain that quantity,
and when all was ready, issued au exhortation to the
inhabitants. The effect was immediate. Tbe difference
of price was found to be enormous, for in she south of
France wine is so cheap that a bottle costs no more
than a tumbler full, and six gallons may be had for a
dollar. The whole family was furnished with healthy
nourishing wine, for the same money that the husband
spent for his diluted, adulterated tippling. Now there
is a Prefect that I could see promoted to the Senate
with real satisfaction. And there is a liqottr law that
the inhabitants of Maine may well envy, and which, per
haps, they will adopt when they repeal their own.
There is no similiaritv between the two eases, however,
as these French wines contain no spirit, and you cannot
get tijisv on them if you try. — Paris Correspondent of
