The body of the dead monarch was placed on tie funeral car at 9 o'chclc in the morning, and the procestion started from the Quirinal about 10 o'clock. It was headed by Gfteen military detach ments, with three bands, and the clergy, bearing tapets. The. ear used at the funeral of Kin Charles Albert of b'ar dioi;i, Victor Emmanuel's father, was used on this occasi iD. It) was surmount ed by the iron crown, the ancient dia dem of .the Lombard kings, which Was brought from Monza for the occasion. Coatrary to a previous announcement there were no pall-bearere. The car was preceded by Lieutenant-General Medici, the late King's first aid-de-camp, mount ed, t ho bore the Palestro sword, sheath ed. - The car was surrounded by a guard ot honor and the special representatives delegated by foreign courts. Ittwas fol- owed by Victor Emmanuel's favorite horse, riderless, military banners and. a guard of honor, eighteen detachments of eivil dignitaries, the Ministers, Senators and deputies and the Knights of the Annunziata. This part of the process ton was ono mile long. .Besides this there were 2,700 deputations from all parts of .Italy, numbering each from five 7- - to several hundreds. The entire pro cession, except General Medici, was on foot.

A world of trouble is occasioned to girls by the indecision of charac ter of young men. A pretty girl in the neighborhood of a dozen young men: She is not only beautiful. but she is good, well-educated and accomplished. Perhaps there is not one of these young men who would not take a particular inter est in her, for she is a general fa- onte; but they observe that one of their number seems to have got the start of them; heJa regular and frequent visitor, anf his in tentions do not appear to be at all displeasing in the quarter where they are bestowed; so; the others all back, or turn their eyes else where. - Thevoungman who has brought all this about gops on from week to 'week, from, month to month, it may be from year to year, with out any definite plan of the future, or so much as any clear decision in his own mind of what he wished to do. He likes the young ladj; he knows that his visits are pleas ant to himself and acceptable to her; he would not like her to re ceive particular attention from an other; yet he1says not' a word about engagement and marriage, tne end ana aim or a woman s ife. He has gradualyt wonj her af ections, until he. has become "the ocean to the river other thoughts.' She could not bear to break off with him, to be seperated from him; for she loves him, asshe fond ly believes, and perhaps truly, as she can never love another; But how. horrowine is the state ol doubt and uncertainly in which she drifts on. Reflection should make young men caretul how tney win the hearts they do not wish to wear. They have no right to monopolize a girl s society, so long as they are in a state of entire indecision as.to their own wishes and pur- We all have Fault. i I have been good deU op and dowa in the world, and I never did see either a perfect horse or a perfeet roan, and I ucver shall unt l two Sundays come to gether.

N' body is so wise but he has folly enough tot tock a stall at Vanity Fair." Where I could not see the fool's rap-, I bava nevertheless beard the bells jingle. A there is no sunshine without some shad ow, k is all human food mixid up with more or less of evil ; even poor-law guar dians have tbeii little failing?, and par ish beadles are not wholly of heaveuly nature. . The best wiue has its lees All men's faults are not written on their fo:eheads, and it's quite well they are not. or hats would need wide brims; yet as sure as eggs are egg, fault of some tort nestle in every man's bosom. There's no tolling when a man's sins may show themselves, for l.ares pop out of a ditch just when you are not looking for them. A horse that is weak in the legs may notstuuiMd for a mile or two, but it's in him. and the ruler had better bold him up Wjell.

They should be early wise, and guard their affections from becom ing fastened upon a young man fiom whom they have no ass--ance, and of whom they know nothing more than that he is nn agreeable companion. They should beware of young men ol indecision Of character, who, hav ing once ingratiated themselves into favor, will dwadle along as if it were no part of their duty to give to the future and to the hap piness of others a single thought; It is rarely undecided associa tions are productive of perma- rfent good, lhere are many cir cumstances which intervene in the progress of time, and render them highly injurious to both parties As in the one case the eligible oung men keep their distance for fear of intruding, so in the other the undecided youngman is looked upon py 'young gins in tne neign borhood its partly, if not wholly engaged; and it is only in the case of flirt any attempt is made to draw him away; but, should his attention cease for any cause, he finds it a difficult matter, indeed, to reinstate himself elsewhere.
