The M Tchant Fri. cc.
1 h Merchant-Prince of Engl n!.
What a glorious name he beat’s!
No minstrel longue has eier sung
The deeds the hero dates.
Enlist that soldier in your cause,
No dangers bar his way.
Bn? gallantly he draws his—cheque,
If the eatise will only pay.
Where freedom waves her burners,
He stands, her champion b >ld,
T'ue noble English Merchant-Prince
For he” unlocks Ids gold ;
For her the Prince's glowing pulse
With generous ardour thuds,
if only sure that freedom
Will duty meet her bills.
When scarce the gory bayonet,
£ U, holds the despot’s throne,
The Merchant-Prince, all chivalry,
Spi itigs foi ward with a loan ;
Ana vain a nation’s cry to scare
That dauntless frknd-in need.
Provided only that the loan
Is safely guaranteed.
See, where a sovereign’s crown rewards
A venturous parvenu.
Crouches the Merchant-Prince to kiss
llis royal brother's shoe
For trampled law, for broken vow,
No doit his Princesbip cares,
If that salute can raise an eighth,
Ilis gain on railway shares.
Whit, blame some petty huckster
That his vote is bought aid sold;
What, chide some wretched juryman
That he blinked a: gm t lor gold ;
What, whip some crouching mendicant,
\\ ho fawned that he might cat—
With the Merchant-Prince of i tiglaud
At the Third Napoleon’s feet?
The Bachelor and the Baby.
There was no one at ho ne except the baby’s mother and
babv, and I. Babv had just gone to sleep, when baby s
mo her remembered a trilHing commission which she
hid promised to execute for me in the village. YY ith
an injunction to touch the cradle if babv woke, she de
parted, leaving me proud of my uew emtdo ioent. and
. i il. v past immu.iitv into a state of fatal security.
With one eve on inv boot, and the other on the cra
dU, tike a faithful watch-dog, 1 listened to the relrenting
foot-tall that should have warned me, but did not, “to
look out for squ ills.” I had no idea of the awful res
ponsibility which l had taken u;*on myself, or I should
nave shrunk from it as a cat does from water, ora mas
tiff from a churning-machine- In feet, ! rather suspect
that I felt in a trifling degree ambitions thai babv should
open one ere—only ore - that T might have the pleasure
of shutting it ngiin. Unwary mortal! How !i tie do we
know when we are well of!’! My ambition was but too
soon to be gratified ; I had yet to learn by bitter expe
rience how weary is the lot of those who—tend on ba
bies.
I wonder whether infants are conscious in their sleep
of their mother’s absence, and know that an opportuni
ty has arrived for ‘cutting up didoes?
The babv, over whose slumb - I had become the
guardian genius -l.ow the Hie- pitched into its nose!
w.ts as sound asleep as an;, babv could be when its n o
ther departed; but no sooner had her shadow fad and
f:om the room than symptom* of wakefulness began to
anpear. First came a sigh ; then a chuckle, that s: il,
as plain as chuckle could say, “Now for some fun; th* n
one eve opened and shut, and then both began peeping
about, till the head seemed inclined to liob off the pil
lotr. I felt a little nervous at these symptoms—only a
little. -Toh,” said Ito myself, “a roll or two of the
cradle will s<ain settle your business, youngster.” But
it did not. Babv was bound to have a spree. It knew
that’‘its mother was out That big, bothersome blue
bottle fly. too, tired of watching for the ship over the
clock face, st ir’ed on a voyage of discovery’ on its own
account, and the first promon'ory which it reached was
the nose ofthe baby, a tempting sjait, upon which it
landed for refreshments, buzzing most villanonsiv as it
did so It was a ticklish landing however, and babv
soon drove it o;F with a sneeze that astonished its nerves
and mine, too, more than the fly’s, for the fly was ac
customed to ticklish situations, which 1 was not Bstbv
wii throughly roused. Up wet t i*s round, chuhhv
arm; bur a rock • flue cradle soon sent that back to its
price f dal roek ‘hat cradle beautifully. The little
head rolled to and fro as easily as if it had been fasten
ed on bv a tov mandarin’s neck. I could not help ad
miring mvself for the wav in which I did it, and I am
s ire that anv reasonable babv would have gone to sleep
again, if onlv for compliment's sake ; but the babv in
the cradle didn’t. The moment the rocking ceased, up
popped the li'tle head, like Judy’s in the show, with a
scull peevish crv. That erv! it was like the “fizzing of
the fn*;” of powdar magazine, sure to end in ao ex
- - ;
cap to inform von that the house was on fire? Did
you ever stand bv a Dutchman who was weighing gun
powder with a lighted cig'r in his month? Did yon
ever stand over the boiler <fa Mississippi steamboat,
and exnect everv moment to be landed on the tree-tops
half a mile inland? If not, you cannot conceive inv
horror when T heard that erv. I was in a cold perspi
ration from head to (* ot. I have no doubt that hail
stones as big as peas might have been picked off my
forehead.
I rocked for dear life, and babv bounced about like a
ball ot India-nibla-r lint it was useless. I sang all
the songs I could think of. from the cabalistic “fltiaha
babv!” to “Cirw, rude Borei.**!” I fried tenor, and I
tried bass; but the babv did not know the difference.
Its ■■lied to think it all h .*e. The louder 1 sang the
louder if cried. It was bawl ami squall; anil squall
bea'. The crv peevish became the cry itidtgnant, and
the crv indignant be-ime the squall imperative. Blue
bottle bnzzisi with delight, and danced a hornpipe on
the window, while the clock kept up a tantalizing “Go
it! go it!”
In an nnlnckv m m-nt T lift-d tic* li'tle tempest out
of the cradle. Never, never, never will I commit such
an act of thoughtless imprudence again ! Before I did
so T could have frnlv sang with th< poet, “The whi‘e
squall raves;” hut afterwards the fiercest blasts of Bo
reas seemed belching fro n that little throat. In the
ho-eof qnieting the tornado, I t*ok i’ in n*v arms, wad
dle! to and fro ihe room. tossed it up and and >wn till toy
shoulders aclu*. 1 ; dandled it on tnv knees, now the
right one, now the left; but nothing would do. Like
an easterly gale, that multiplied squall seeme 1 to be end
less. 1c [t reallv alarmed. 1 waammpletelv terrified
1 saw visions of convulsions and such like ills that in
tuit desh is heir to.” If I had been in the citv, fam
sure that a crowd would have collected. I might have
been taken up and accused of an attempt so commit in
finticid*—perhaps been published in the [tapers as a
Wr e‘fh gniltv of crneltv to dumb animals. Dumb’
Hmv I wish that dear family organ had fieen dumb! I
even er>vn*d ih e deaf fen that pick up cinders!
I looked at the clock ami exclaimed in despair,
“When will the mother return?” and the clock ans er
f L with mocking mono'onv, “not vet! not vet!” Blue
bottle had ceased i‘s buzzing, and returned to its old
quarters over the liia'-nlate, to watch for the tv- ippear-
Wiee of the ship; perhaps asking, as irnpatien’lv as I
‘lid, the question, “When will she return?” while the

Human Hair.
Blackwood’ dropped a suggestion a few months ago
to the effect that human hair would be a g. o 1 sahjec:
‘ for an article, and added, “ How well some ol the wri-
J tets in the Quarterly Review would do it.” The Qoar
-1 telly has acted uon the hint, and ilie result is an arti
cle as full of sulking fact and pleasing fancy as any
that has appeared in a review for years. A few of the
j writer’s facts and fancies we select for the edification
I and enfertaiment of our readers.
Since the world began, the hair lias been a universal |
j vanity. The mis*ness of Alcibiades, no doubt, kept j
that magnificent damlv waiting ma iva half hour, while
, she arranged the golden gra-shoppei ; and where is the
I modern ‘<-u:li who fails to give his curls ilie “ flow
ing touch” ere lie venture* into the glare of ihe bali
i room gas?
In Puritanic times, a man’s religion was determined
;by the state of the poll; in still darker ages, long hair
I was the sign of fieedoin, and a cropped head the mark
|of a slave. No wonder the hair has had a political and
; religious significance ; for it is the only part ol’ his ,
bodv which a man can shajs* and carve to his fancy. ;
Race determines the color ofthe hair Beginning at j
: the most northern-inhabited la'it tides of Euro|*. and i
i joumeving southward, the color of the peoiile’s liair j
“deepens woh every parallel-froin the Norwegian flaxen,
! to the b!u;-black of .!u* nations on the shores of the)
Mediterranean sea. Each hair is a tube tilled with a
| fluid, and the color of that fluid is the color of I lie hair, j
j The reason whv black hair is black is simply because i
I its colo ing fluid contains more charcoal (carbon , than |
j that of anv other; mid hair becomes gtay ns this fottn-j
tain of its life arid beauty dries up. Hence the hair!
muv. and does sometimes, become gray in an hour. As |
a rule,’ll * lighter ihe color of the hair, the timer its
eu tin . An cniinetit German underwent the enormous |
i.ibor of eountiiig the number of hairs in heads of !ur j
, different eolo’s. In a blond one he found one hundred j
and fortv thousand hairs; in a b’o *n, one hundreil and
nine Inmsand four hundred and forty ; in a black, one
j hundred and two thousand nine hundred and sixty-!
, two; in a red, eighty eight thousand seven hunched!
and forty—tlia four scalps being about equal in weight.;
: From their waving, silken beauty, poets and artists de-;
! fight in golden tresses. Shakespeare mentions black’
j hair but n ice in all his w rit ugs, while his allusions to
| hair of lighter shades at e to be counted by the seme. In !
i the London National Gallery there is not one black-j
j haired female head, though the heads are exceedingly
numerous. \et the tux. ion i/h shade for hair hasj
: d*epenisl ot late wars In the last century golden hair
i was sold as a favor by dealers to their most important j
customers, at two dollars an ounce—nearly twice the
price of silver. The dark shades now in vogue are pto-1
cured in the south of France, where the peasant gills,
j eagerly offer their luxuriant locks to the hail-dealer’s j
; shears for twenty sous or a gaudy cotton handkerchief, j
; For light ha’r. the rea] cos locksgoes to Germany. Aj
h ir merehair, “ when his nose is in,” can tell by they
j smell alone, whether a sheaf of hair grew on French,
I E"gli-h. Iri-b, Sc t h, M'e!ch, or German heads.
Women seldom becotne bald, because there is “a
: larger deposit of fit in the female scalp” than in the
; male, hut their hair becomes gray ns early ill life as iba!
!o’ the other see. “ Hence,” says onr w itty reviewer, :
i g!,.. rniilts which the poor pest art t g’tl of
. | ..it - • o tiM with for i f*w sons .is a ncs—'gg towards
i, 1 .alure doub’less .liih-d in procuring a suitable ‘
j helpmate f* r some blue spinster or fast duw get ot
Mav fair.” The reviewer consulted his hatter upon the (
subject of men’s baldness. That fortunate man—tnrtu-j
• na'e in having so delightful * customer—expressed the
i opinion that the reason why men become bald at an j
; earlie*’ age now than fortv years ago is the general use
of silk hats, which keep the head at a higher tenq pi c
ture than beaver ones. Whereupon the reviewer,
| achieves .he capital observation that “we are then sae-j
i rificiug onr own natuiml nap, in order that the beaver:
! may recover bis.”
His:on hiss much to snv upon the hair and beard. — i
I In the middle ages long hair was highly esteemed, and
was m tell worn among the gentle classes; though the
| clergy denounced it as vanity, and even as a “mortal
| sin.” When Fiancis I. was wounded in the head, and
, was, in consequence, obliged to be crojiped, all the
French courtiers, in compliment to their king, submit
ted to the shears, and short hair became, for a time, the
| fi: sit ion throughout Erttoje. In England short hair
! came in with the Reformation. In the time of the Tu
dors. I*.tli men and women wore their hail short, w hich ;
! gives to the po; traits of that period a hard, disagreeable
! effec*. As the ba r shortened the beard was allowed
I to g| (l n\ and there Ims never been a time w hen the
j hair and he-.td were both long With the Stuarts, as
i every one knows long hair regained its old ascendency ;
and the b“ard diminished; ihougb the Puritan* in-j
veigh.'.l ag’.i ; *ist the flowing curls ot ihe Cavaliers with
!noe ‘h m the ferocity of the earlierf r.i*sts. Tlte reign
of Louis XIII of France was the time when the pe
rnkes were invented—those lofty and solemn monu
j Rietfi* of human folly—* period in ihe history of hair,
j which tiie reviewer npproathes with awe. Lotus XII I.
I it appear*, would wear It s hair long from rhildlitstd; j
and in order to enable those of lus courtiers to v. luini
Nature had not been liberal in its bes.ownient of liair,.
to imitate their royal master, the w ig, the peruke was,
devised. Avery ludicrous entry in Pepy's Diary, No-;
ventberfid. Iff. , tnniks the introduction of these pot -1
ten‘ous head-dresses into England :
“Home, by and by, come Chapman, th? pernw ig
maker. atut upon mv liking it .the wigi without more,
J ado I went up. and then he cut off my hair, which went j
! a little to tit v heart at t.resent to part with it; but it he |

I :m< i a'.vHV went he with mv own h fir to make tin ano h-:

Under Louis XIV the size to which the pcrr;w:g had j
grown was such that “the face appeared on’y us a small,
piio'de in the midst of a vast sea of hair. I’ernwtg-
I makers, the “great architects of tins triumphant age of

Qu *en Marie An oin.t e herself invented a

■tt It was the art expended on these tremendous hea- .-
trasses, and such the detail required in their differ, n
tages, that ladies of quality were of en under th
land of tli e irtuite thee line day. Thus when the.
iad to attend entertainments on succeed.i>g evening-,
hey were forced to sleep in arm-chairs, for tear of in
lai.genng ihe finish of the c - jra-tr* ! The female lieae-
Iress, having now at rived at its most Alpine elevation,
uddeuly toppled over and fell, by the mere accident e
he Queen’s liair coining off’ during her accouchmeti,.
I’he court out of compliment to her Majesty, wore tin
aim U< rtf an’ ; others followed, and the fashion was a
ua end.
Passing over mi’.ch which we should like so pick ■■
few morsels from, but cannot for luck of space, we
come to a humorous passage upon the “ Bri i-li whisk
ker,” which we must copy without condensation :
“ Os the modern beard and whiskers,” says the Be
view, “we desire to write respectfully. A mu; ton chop
seem-, to have suggested the form of the substantial
British whisker. Out of this simple design countless
varieties ol forms have arisen. How have tliev arisen
Can any one give an account of h s own whiskers from
‘heir birth upwards? To ourjmind there is nothing
mote mi serious than the grow in of this manly appen
dage. bid any fir-seeing youth deliberately design his
own whisker? Was there ever known a hobbledehoy
who saw a ‘great future’in his silken down, and de
termined to train it in the way it should go ? We tnitik
not. British whiskers, in truth, havegrown up like all
the great institutions of .lie country, noiselsssly and
persistently —an outward expression, as the Germans
would say,’of the inner lile of the people; the general
idea allowing of infinite variety according to the indi
viduality ot tne wearer. Let us take the next lialf-dnz
mme t’passing by the window us we write. The fir t
has his w'.iiskir i tucked iu the corners of his mouth,
ns though lie were holding them up with his teeth. —
The second whisker that ive descry has wandered into
the middle of the cheek, and there stopped as though
t did not know where to go to, like a youih who has
ventured out int > the middle oftlie ball-room with all
eves upon hint. Vnnder bunch of bristles 3) twists
the contrary way under the ownet’s ear: he could 1 o?
>r the life ot him tell why it etrogruded so. That
Mir th cit'zen, wi h the vas. Pacific <fa face, has lit'U
rhiskeis, which seem to hn e s:o ped short after two
inches of voyage, as though aghast at the prospect of
having to double sus Ii a < ape ilo. nos a chin. We per
ceive coming a tremendous pair, running over the
shirt colar i.t luxuriant profits on. Vet we see, as the
colonel or general takes off’ his hat to that la>'y, that he
t> qui e 1 a d—those whi-kers are, in tact, nothing but
n tremendous land-slip trout the veteran's bead!’
Upon the f-rpr. ,e u ofthe hair the reviewer is brief.
“The hair of ihe Phidian Jove in the Vatican, which
rises in spouts, as it were, front the forehead, and then
falls in wave curls, is like ihe mane of the lion, most
m jestie and imperial in appearance. The crisp curls
o He cu'es again remind us of the short looks between
the hot its of the indomitable bull; whilst the hair of
Neptune falls down wet and dunk, like his own seaweed.
The beaut f.l flowing locks of Apol o, full and fiee,
represent perpetual you h and t it* gentle, \a. ra it, be
witching tresses of Veuus denote most clearly Iter pe
culiar characteris.ics and claims asa divinity of Olym
pus. What give* the loose and wanton air to thepoi
traits in Charles IPs bedchamber at Hampton court?—
l)n hess and Countess sweep along the canvass with
nil the dignity that Lely could flatter them with; but
on the disordered ettil*, a <1 the forehead fringed with
lovelocks, Cyprian is plainly written. Even Nell Gwin,
retired into the deep shade of the alcove, beckons n

Pisciculture.
We devoted some space in our columns a few month*
since loan account of recent experiments in France n
extending the production ot fish, experiments so satis
factory m thoii results in their then stage ot progress:.s
to lead to well-founded hopes that by a little cure and
exertion every brock and rivulet may be made to allied
a huge increase to our means ot subsistence.
The place where at the present tune the principal ex
periment is in progress is the village of Huningen and
it*environs, iu Alsace, a few miles from Basle, in Switz
erland. The Fiench Government, a few months since,
loaned 3", (too francs to MM. Bert hot and Dctzeiu, to en
able them to make all needful preparations and arrage
nients to carry on the experiment at this place ou a
scale that should prove decisive. Tlte Superintendent
of this es'ab'i'hnietit, M. C’oste, made a report n Fel
t uuiy lasi to tiie Academy ot Sciences upon the pi ogress
which he had made, and the report is published in one
of the April number* of Dingier’.* Poly echnic Jourud ,
a very respectable German publication. His treatment
of the spawn of salmon and trout had proved so sati.--
factory in its results, that ho lias no doubt of having by
June.’thut is in four months from the date of ■ lie re
port, Kii"i,ooo \ oung tish ot these two species with wli • . It
to furnish the rivers, all sufficiently grow n to be secure
from the ordinary dangers to which the minnow is ex
posed. In ihe brooks of Iluningen in which the spawn
is batched, over a million of salmon and trout eggs have
been placed, of which l*ju,' MM > were spawned along the
bank ofthe Rhine under the eye of .he Director.
The enormous productiveness of this establishment
may be imagined when a year’s space is taken into con
sideration, tor no sooner are ihe present varieties of fish
distributed from the brooks and [Minds, than iltt-it places
wi 1 be supplied bv theyoung ot the Danube salmon and
staid, which spawn only in the spring, thus keeping up
a constant succession
This new branch of industry is already spread at Hu
ningen, over a space some 7)4 miles in extent, where the
waters of ten natural fountains, that of a small stream
passing through the establishment, those ofthe Rhine
and the standing watered’marshy ground, are all tound
neat each o her, and ut the hand to mingle in such pro
portions as mav be necessary for diffet ent species. Hopes
arc entertained that sturgeon and other fish, w hich te
quire the sea and fresh water by turns, may thus be
raised, and that by placing them in the Rhine when
young, the buys of the Mediterranean may once more
be s.oeked with Ash.
Successful experiments, by means of [Kinds of salt wa
ter, have been made upon the shores ot the Adriatic, in
the Pontine marshes and Ihe Gulf of Naples, in the ar
tificial production of salt water fi*h.
Tlte I’olyUdiniC ./ / nn mentioned al ove, containsu
full description ofthe simple processes employed at Hu
ningen, but these have been sufficiently explained in
the lormer article published in l’ t Tr bant. The ob
taining of the spawn by pressing the fecund fish is m
fact no hing mote than a simple act ot midwifery—solo
speak, the main thing being tlte proper care and pro
teciioii of the eggs so obtained ; and Itie enormous mul
tipli< a ion ot tish is owing simply to the fact that they
ate ihus saved ftom the innumerable dangers to which
they ate ex[ osed in the open rivers, and that each egg
is afforded opportunity to produce its tish, instead of be
ing devoured with myriads of others, by birds, tish and
other animals which prey upon them. This new art
might easily be ruusplanted fit the United Jiuites, and
it would be worth while lor some ot our tSta e Legisla
ture* >o inquire into it w iih a view to the forming of
es üblishinents and the stocking of the rivers with a
groat abundance of the most delicious kinds ol tish.—

Ball at Atheu*.
A traveller has regaled us with a description of a ball
at the Greek Court at Athens; he describes the palace
as colossal in its dimensions, decorated with prodigal
magnificence and filled with brilliant uniforms; all ihe
officers of the French, English and Austrian frigates, us
well as the Diplomatic Corps, were present. The na
tional Greek costume in all its vuriet es, resplendent
w ith gold and silver, predominated ; ihe women s toilet
tes w etc hull Greek and half Freni h. ‘1 he most remar
kable person present was tlie celebraled pere Kos os,
his head covered with white hair; iiis long whi e beard
descended to his waist, apoignaid hung at his side;
he is called / rt firm having been n monk ; he quitted
the rebg.i us habit to mingle tn the world, and become
one of the heroes of the war of Greek Independence.
The ball was o[ etied by the Queen dancing a I'olnn
aise wi h the Austrian Minister; her toilet:e, of blue
brochee-d’argent wih a dazzling coiffure of jewels, was
entirelv Ktnopean, whilst the King, us usual wore the
full mttiouul cos;time, covered with gold and silver.—
The Queen danced thes-coitd round of the I’olotiaise
wi li the J'resident of the Chamber, who is u Hydriote,
and was dressed in the picturesque costume of the L
lands —a short, tight, dai k blue velvet ves , large Tui k
isii pantaloons of the same color, and a red scan around
the waist. The King had ibr his partner a good old
lady, wife of the President, likewise in the costume of
the Island.*—a robe ot blue silk striped with blue and
yellow—a short jacket of the same silk readies to the
waist—the bosom covered by a silk fichu. Such a cos
tume in a ball room in Paris, would astonish our natives.
All tlu* dances were European. The King moved in
defaiigablv and was most gracious and affable; the
Queen, who is a graceful (lancer, was always on the
floor. The Greek ladies succeeded perfectly in these
modern ballets. If it was not tor lite r black ami bril
liant eves, dai k complexions, and their taste for val id
and brilliant colors, they would never be taken for Ori
ental*. Their toilettes were principally white, with a
charming red velvet jacket embroidered in gold; alittle
cap, likewise of scarlet velvet and gold, is placed co
quet tistdy on their tine black liair. The men of the
country rarely dance; the gather to converse in the
small saloons’ or watch the foreigners and their lady
partners. —yr ud-.U’ t oj tJit Juunwl of CurniU€KC€.
