The dress of a Persian female consists of a pair of immensely wide trousers, like a couple of .petticoats tacked together, made of silk or • cotton, and fastening*around the middle bv a ] running string —a very shprt chemise of gauze reaching only.to the waistjacket reaching to the hips, having open sleeves, which may he , battened close if required —a small skiril-eap on . the head —and sometimes a hankerehief thrown over the head, and d* >cen ii; g to the shoulders and back. .V variety of ornaments are worn, but not in the *]hroi usiyw which Indian women are partial to; these consists cj’ rings, bracelets, necklaces, and ear*iiiig~ ot different sorts; and n-jufllv an aigrette springing from a band encir cling the bead. Their hair i< arranged it* large side-locks, and long platted tresses hanging Anvil behind. They paint their eyelids at the. efia es with a kind of dbliyrium, made of ore of* antiimyiv ; and smeu’ the eytbrows*with a kind of b>ao4c paint. The .life led b y the Persian ladies is listless and indolent, and to any woman would be insipid ft) a th'greft. Their duties consist in the ol household affairs and the ativfidanctbfo tl\f fiare of their children; and their amusements consist jn visiting their female and receiving their visits • it* return; performance of ten ale dancers, lingers, atyd story-teller*; placing in the* gardens of houses .riding yi their tu//il< i*inm or horse-litters, smokiifg oj - eating sweetmeats.

On theftjontrary, the husband is usually very indulgent to bis wilt?; consults and takes her advice ran matters of eyeiw descrip tion, and is nyt unfrequcntly completely ruled by her; for, no doubt, the noble arts of hen jteck coaxing, and worrying, arc fully as well understood, and as often practised, by ladies in this*country, a* by their stair sisters in any quarter of the globe. Out of doors the lady enjoys most unlimited liberty.

But such a conclusion w@u]d be erroneous. The true idea would been conveyed, if the passage had been translated thus; “We, while in the east country, have seen his star.” The star was Yv’est of where the wise men lived, and of course,, they had to look West to come to Jerusalem and Bethle hem. to find <he Saviour, whom the star point? ed out. The wise men were probably from Persia or Arabia, which lie East of Jerusalem. I am led to mulfe these remarks by an expres sion in the last Sunday-School Tinges, in an article on the Meteor. The expression is this, “ V bright and beautiful star coming from the ( East, told the wise men that the Lord of glory i was born.” o ‘ ° o o Sccrci* of the Ortan, Mr. Green the famous diver, tells singular stories of his adventures, when making search 0 in the deep waters of. the ocean. lie gives some sketches of what- he on the Silver Banks, near Hayti: * “The banks o 4 ooral on which my divin'gs, narrated in fhyt previous chapter,"were made, are about* forty miles in length, from ten to twenty in breadth. “ * “Gn the bank of coral is presented to the diver one of Phe most heautifirt and sublime scenes the eye ever behyhj,. The water vanes from ten to one hundred feet hi depth, and so clear that the diver can see from two to three hundred feet, when submerged, with little ob struction to the sight. „ “The bottom of the t>cean*in many places * on these banks, is. as suiboth as a*marble Hoyr; in others it js budded with coral columns, from ten to one hundred feet in height, and from one to eighty feet in diameter. The.tops ol’ those more lofty support a myriad more; giving the reality to the imaginary abin.h} of some water nymph. In # other places, the pendants form i arch after ardh, and aft the divet; stands on the bottom fit’ the ocean and gazes through these into the avenue, he feels that” they fill him with as sacred an*awe as if lie wefte in sotue'old “cathedral, which had long been Burieci bSneath “ old oceaiy’s wave.” — Here and thftre, die coTaJ extends even to the “surface of the water, as if .those loftier columns’ were towers belonging to t-hosiy stately“tetuples now in ruins. ®. a • •” : f *There were countless varieties of diminu tive trees, shrubs ayd plants* in every"crevice corals jvhere the had deposited the least eartlf.

Some had heads like squirrels, others like cats and “Some parted* tbrftugh the like meteors, whilg others could scarcely*be seen to move.* “To enumerate and exp!ain a vftirious kinds of’lish 1 beheld while diving qn those banks*would, were 1 though ot a naturalist so to do, require mol* space than my limits will allow” for L am convinced that most ©f the kinds of fish which inhabit the tropical seas can fig found there. The sun fish, Saw fish star •fish, white shirk, ground “shark, bllie or shovel noje shark, we ye often seen. There w#ie ;ilso fish which scsemblcd plants, and remaining as ” fixed in their positien*as a shrub. *The onjy power they possessiid waft tp o;y?n and shut when in danger. Some of them resembled the rosft in full4;k)om and were all hues. ” 4‘ There were the ribbon fish, from foyr t , five inches to tlireft feet in length. /Their eyes ’are very large, and protrude like those of jhe frog.# Anotkci. fi.-di was spotted like “the leo- pard, from three to ten feet iu kftigtL.

The Fall of Table i£oeU--It> the Liui .tlan Mho o Hlood on it. George TV ilkes writes this week from Niaga ra to his Spirit : 1 sa.d 1 had something to do with the falling of the lable Hock, that broad shell on the Can adian side, which, in 1850 jutted over the very* caldron of the seething waterg, but which tuyi ; bled into it on a certain day in the month of Jufte of that, by me, well remembered year.— I About noon, on f at day, I accompanied a ladv | from.the Clifton House to the Falls Arriving at Table Kook, we left our carriage, and as we approached the projecting platform 1 pointed •out to my companion a vast crack or fissure which traversed the entire base of the rock, re marking that it looked wider than it had ever before appeared U) me. ‘1 he lady almost shud dered as she looked St it, and shrinking back, declared*that she did not care about going to the edge. ° ‘fc Ah,” said I, taking her hand, “you mi gilt las well come on, now .that you are here. 1 hardly think the jock will take a notion to iiiil j merely because we are on it.” * • The plat form.jut ted from the, mainland some 50 feet, Ijut jo gitc the visitor still more fear ful projection over the raging waters, a wooden , or staging, had•been thrust beyotid the extreme edge for some ten feet, ‘ibis termi nated in a.small box lbr visitors *to stand in, ’atid was kenWin.its position and enabled to*bear weight Pv a ponderous load of stones heaped , upon* its inner end. The Jay was very* bright and hoi, and it being almost time at the : hotels, but, few visitors were out, so we occupi ed the dizzy perch alyne. We gazed featfully .out Ufxni the awitll waters, stretch’ed *ouv heads timidly over the •frightful deqitli below, and* wp*felt our matures quailed in every fibre by the deafening roar that seetned to* saturate ’ us,as it were, with aif indefinable chead. *’ 4 “ This is a terrible place,” said .I. “Look unfler There, and see on what a mem shell wg stand ! !•>? years apd years thg teeth of the torrent, in that jetting, angry ltreatu.have been gnawing out tlwit hollow, jmd some day this plane must fall!” My companion shuddered, and drew herself together in alarm. Our eyes swept the roaring circle of the waters once again; we gazed about in fearful fascination,* when suddenly turning our looks upon each other, recognized a corresponding fear.
