Small waists and early deaths, says the Ilorae Journal, have been the subject of recent comments of a physician of celebrity, and his no-. tion that the latter is the certain sequence of the former is borne out by almost all authorities of every country. Yet no matter how the physiologist or physicians may talk, women have always compressed their waists and expanded their skirts, and they always will, until public opinion pronounces lor a heavy figure. It has never influen ced a fashionable woman' vet to hear that Venus de Medici had a large waist, she has been told so evcrsincc; that fauh less image of female beauty was disinterred. She merely shruggs her shoulders and draws her laces tighter. She knows very well that it she went to a ball with that figure of Venus no man wculd abk her to daucc. , So important a matter it is to have a small wa'st that it has become a matter of prgc to the Austrain people, and is mentioned in the court journals that the Empress of Austria is celebrated for possessing a waist which only measures sixteen inches. This is a greater nobility than even the possession of sixteen quart crings on your shield, wiliuuit which you cannot be admitted to the best society ot Vienna. ''Six teen," therefore, is a magic number at Vienna. There .are many persons, to-be sure, who have as small a waist but they have not the height and contour and becoming fullness which the Empress has. Undoubt edly there wilra1vays bo foolish mothers who make their daughters sleep in their corsets, ami many foolish women who will always draw their laces too tight; but the gol den mien remains; a figure well, but not too stiffly supported, a waist slender, round, but not, too small for the adjacent figure, is the grand desideratum of female beauty. A large woman in France,, where wo men have a taste for the becoming in dress conferred upon them by Providence, wears ample draperies, loosely-fitting garments, aud a cor set which, does her the ocst possible service' for it makes her look and feel at her ease no labored breath ing no unnatural redness no fear of suffocation she is simply a large beautiful object, instead of a pillow tried in the middle, with a general air of asphyxia. Large women should remember tnat no tight lacing makes them look any smaller. Age, which reduces every thing else, is apt to add on to the figure of wo man and time brings on undesir able stoutness. This cannot be better treated than it was by the late Duchess of Devonshire, one of the most beautiful of woiuen. who grew at forty as English women are apt to do, very stout. "How have you kept your complexion so pure, my dear duchess?' said one of her fellow ladies in-wailing at the coart of Queen Victoria. "By dressing at ease a r.d keeping my temper," said the handsome duchess. As you cannot avoid your own com pany, make it good as possible. Tnere arc many wHo know the:rown wisdo;n, hut there are ' but few who know their uvu fall v. C, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 28, 1876. From Dimiol Deronda. A difference of taste in joke3 i3 great strain on affections. Vanity is as ill . at case under in- difference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return. I : The most powerful of all beauty is that which reveals itself after sympathy, and not before it , Who supposes that it is an im possible contradiction to be super stitious and rational at the samo time? . Uonor comes from inward voca m tion and hard-won achievement ; there is no honor in donning life as a livery. Often the grand meanings of faces, as well as written words, may lie chiefly in the impressions of those who look on them. The subtly varied love drama be tween man and woman is often such as can hardly be rcndcicd in words put together lik dominos, accord ing to obvions fixed marks. A soul burning with a sense of what the universe is not, and ready to take all existence as fuel, is nevertheless held captive by the ordinary wircwork of local forms, ard dees nothing in particular. In many lives there is much not onH of error and lapse, but of a cert-ftin exquisite goodness which can never be written or evcn;spoken, only divined by each of us accord ing to the inward instruction of oar own privacy. What, in the midst of the mighty drama of lite, are girls and their blind visions? They arc the yea or nay of that good for which men are enduring and fighting. In these delicate vessels are born, on ward through the ages the treas of human afiections. Children demand that their heroes should be fleckless, and easily be lieve them so; perhaps a first dis covery to the contrary is hardly a less revolutionary shock to a pas sionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which cakes the world seem to totter for us in maturcr life. Preeminence is sweet to those who love it,, even under mediocre cir cumstances; perhaps it is not quite j mythical that a slave has been proud to be bought first; and pro ;. bably a barn-door fowl on sale, ; though he may not have understood himself to be called the best otK may have a self-informed conscious. j nnjj rr Ilia Vnl O I inmnnfnnnn nr.. I strut consoled; But for a com plete enjoyment the outwaid ami inward must concur. Macbcth's rhetoric nbout the im possibility of being manv opposite things on the same moment referred to the clumsy necessities of action, and not to the subtler possibilities of feeling. We cannot speak a loyal word asd be meanly silent; we cannot kill and not kill in the simc moment; but a moment is wide enough lor a loyal and mean desire, for the outlash of a murder ous thought, and the sharp back ward stroke of repentance.

In a terrible agony, a soldier lay dying in the hospital. A visitor asked biro: . -What church arc you of? ' Of the church of Christ; he re plied.

NO. 3. Tlio Oldest 01t. f Damascus Is the oldest city in the world. Tyre and gidon have crumbled on the shore. Baalbcc a ruin, Palmyra is ' buried in a desert. Nincvah and Baby lon har disappeared from the Tigris and Euphrates Damascus remains what it was before the days of 'Abraham a u centre of trade and travel an Ldand of Verdure in the desert, a presidential capital, with partial ami Mcrvd associa tions extending through thirty cen turies. It was near . Damascus that Saul of Tarsus .aw the Ihrht above the brightness of the sun. The street ' which is called Strait in which it was said he prayed,' Mill runs through the city. '1 he caraan comes and goes as it did a thousand years ago. The city which Mohamet surveyed from a neigh boring height, and was afraid to enter because it wa giren to man to hare but one paradise and for his part he resolved not to hare it in this world Li to day what Julian called the cye of the East as it was in the time of Isaiah the bead of Syria. From the city cf Damascus came the blade, so wonder-1 ful the world over for its keen cdrra and wond -I ful elasticity, the secret of whoic manufacture waslotst when Tam erlane carried off tha artit into Persia and that beautiful arts of inlaying wood and Ftecl with silver and gold, and ; kind of nosaic engraving aue sculpture united, called dexuasking, with which ; boxes, bureaux, swords and. guns ara ornamented. It is still a city of flow crs and bright water; the stream of Lcbannon aud the -river of gold, still , murmur and sparkle in the wildernesj ofthc Syrian gard .
