The saddest thing in ;life is the spectacle afforded by a young person rvho has burnt al. her hair off her forehead with a hot slate pen cil and cannot afford to buy a row of curls.

No member of the House of Peers has led a mote blameless and consistent life than Lord Ox monton. When they opened the old cow at Chester, Pa., the other day, all they found, in her stomach was a pair of shoes. The world is challenged to produce another instance of such a tender milkmaid. “Wife, what ha3 become of the grape; ?,’ “I suppose, my dear, the heus picked them off,” was the bland reply. “Hens—hens!— some two-legged her.s, 1 guess,” said the hus band, with some impetuosity; to which she firmly replied, “My dear, did you ever see any other kind?” An eld Troy river-man says he is disgusted to hear people now-a-days talk of low water in the Hudson.

In a little while the question—“Where are you going to spend the summer?” will go the social rounds. Europe will be the ren dezvous for a very large number of people who have hitherto located tbemselver at the American watering places during the “heated term.” It has been demonstrated fairly that a trip to Europe can be made for less money than a protracted sojourn at a first-class ho tel at Newport, Saratoga, or Long Branch. Danbury News: Mr. Henderson, of Dan bury, was appointed constable on Thursday afternoon. In the evening he officially inter fered in a fight in the saddle-factory tenement, and within lhe space of three minutes was knocked down, dragged over a rough floor on the back of his head, kicked down two flights of stairs, bitten on the back of the neck, lost two teeth, and was shoved through a fence in his shirt sleeves. He resigned the next morning. He said he was afraid he was too unobtrusive in his nature for the office. In Spring goods, the leading colors will be either clear slate or silver grey, coming in aA fabrics—mohairs, wools, tamise, cashmeres, Berlinese cloth, “frozen moonlight,” and Parisiennes cloth. Debayo cloth is used ex tensively for rediEgotes. The .mode tints run also in the silk line. “Ocean vapor” is the romantic name given to the lightest possible shade of blue. Then there are pochard shades from a dark salmon to a darker Bordeaux. In richer tints we have mace, Isabella yellow maroon red, claret, leaf and chestnut brown. Recent Publications. Laocoon. An Essay upon tbe Limits oi Painting and Poetry: By Lessing, Boston, Robert Bros. | For sale by Loring, Short and Harmon. In translating Lessing's Laocoon, Miss Frothingham has accomplished a task ot no easy achievement; the rendering into pure flowing English, of the art criticisms of this master critic is a labor to which a life-time might be profitably devoted; this will ba realized when we consider the wide differ ence existing in tbe grammatical construction of the two languages. An appendix to the book contains the translations ot the many passages from Latin and Greek authors through which the arguments of Lessing are illustrated. In order to reap the rich har vest oi ideas contained in the work, it should be thoroughly read and re-read. Upon its first appearance it created an epoch in art criticism, and its lessons are as instructive and weighty to-day as then. The great prin ciples developed throughout the book will help the reader to an ever-deepening appre ciation of [the undying works ot the great masters of art and literature. A deep im pression made upon the reader of “Laocoon” is that of the easy and complete mastery of the author over his subject. Goethe has said of it, that in the confused period of his youth, it cleared np the whole heavens to him and made his path plain before him. “Genesis Disclosed.” New York, G. W. Carle ton A Co. For sale by Bailey A Noyes. The author of this work finds himself un der the stern necessity of exposing' King James’ translators of the Bible. For, while Moses, writing as was instructed of God, “records the creation of two Adams, viz. in Gen. 1: 26. Adam, male and female man; and in verse 27, the creation of Ha-Adain, viz., the Adam whom He placed in the gar den of Eden; tbe former being the rac<". Adam, and the latter the individual-Adam the translators aforesaid, have ignored the race-Adam altogether; thus sinfully, and wan tonly, suppressing, extinguishing, and practi cally annihi'ating a whole class of uod’s creatures; burying, withal, in one common grave the much coveted history of the origin of races. This, He says, has been done by wilfully, feloniously, and possibly with malice prepense, dropping the very importan word, And, which in the Hebreir, begin* verse 27, and in place there of, intrading the i impertinent word, So. He says, tl ie t*a'^‘ will naturally exclaim. “I* this a11' n 1 it possible that so insignificant a rnistranacrlb •ng should make any essential difference in • meaning?-- We answcr) Yej( thif „ allf of) y the leaving out the name Adam, man ami female man, in the day of creation, am le name Ha-Adam, in varions places in the Genesis; and the substiution of So for And male and female Adam are historically annihilated, a.d the flood (which destroyed only Ha-Adam and his generations,) is made universal. We are free to confess to our readers that this is, indeed, all. We humbly acknowl edge that we are not an Hebrew of the He brews, and could not therefore safely pre sume to say how much might be contained in the H“brew, And. The Septuagent, we find, holds on upon the “And,” but makes no point as between Adam and Ha-Adam. Apparently they didn't see it; and we hope to be pardoned for a like obtusenes3. We take leave to conjecture, that had it been tbe intention of the Creator to reveal in Gen. 1: 20, 27, the much coveted informa tion as to the origin of races, He would have done something more palpably to that intent than say Ha to Adam. Women iiefoke the Law. By John Proftatt L, L. B. of the New York Bar. G. P Putuam’a Sonv, New York. For sale by Lorlog Short & Hannon. This work may contain a good summary of the law of New York relatingto women but it certainly states the law of Maine very incor rectly. It is evidently compiled from other treat ;ses more or Jess old and the young g n tlemau who is evidently very recently “of the New York liar” has taken no pains to see whether the law has since been changed, This is inexcusable in a work professing to be a sort of handbook on a subject in regard to which more than any other the law is con tinually changing. In fact Law Books for the Public are the last things on which be ginners should try their prentice hands. Un 'ess Mr. Proffat has made up his mind to more conscientious word work, we hope he will not be tempted by kind language of auy body to make his attempt “of greater scope and reference” in a future book as is threat ened in the preface.

The veteran statesman, historian and Christian philosopher, M. Guizot, as he was completing hit eighty-second year, five years ago, was induoed to put in full form, and to give to tbe public materials which he had prepared in slight notes, to be expand ed from his memory in narration—tor the simple purpose of instructing, while amusing, his own grandchildren. With a spirit and intent like that which prompted Sir Walter Scott to put the history of Scotland into stories told to bis grandson, young Lockhart, M. Guizot essayed to deal in tbe same way with the history of France. The carrying out such a purpose, whether orally or in writing, reqnires and result in a work which comes just midway between a mere compend ot dates and lacta, and an elaborate it not exhaustive treatment of a cation's annals, with disquisitions and minute investigations on all complicate* 1 an i controverted incidents in It. M. Guizot had been furnished by tbe studies and labors of a lifetime for the new task which he under took, aud bis busy and practiced pen had acquired a lacility in style admirably adapted to the special de mands of the work. When he mad© ha made his French translation of Gibbon's great work, which he illustrate*], aud some of the critical matters of which lie challenged to good purpose m ms valuable nous, he became a roaster of the scholarship ot his present theme. As professor of modern history in the Uni versity ot France, he had delivered many coursee of lectures on the history of civilization, whieh were afterwards wrought into his admirablo work under that title. Uis labors bave been faitblul in many other special and comprehensive fields of historical literature. Concluding to write out in a more complete text aud with sufficient elaboration the notes which he had actually used for their first and only intended pur pose. M. Gi izot prepared ior publication in France a work to bear the following title: “The History of France from the Eanwt Times to the yoar 1789, Re lated tor the Rising Generation.** This answers to our title of a popular history. The whole «««k, M. tending to three and possibly to four substantial vol umes, is in tbe hands of the French publishers. A translation of the first two volumes, by Mr. Robert Black, has appeared in elegant form in London. Messrs. Estes & Lauriat of Boston, have under taken tbe costly enterprise of reproducing tbe Eng lish translation in an even more sumptuous fbrss. The enterprise, so expensive in its outlay to them, la entered upon with a confidence that it will be appreoi ated aud well sustained in this community. Their proposition is to issue the complete work in serial semi-monthly parts, Of these, eight have already appeared, covering about four hundred pages. Tbe English edition is illustrated with two hun dred new and elegant wood cuts, in the highaat style of the art. Of these, Messrs. Estes & Lauriat have secured electrotypes by the famous artist, A. Dn Newville. In addition to these, the American pub lishers propose, as peculiar to their edition, forty magnificent steel line engravings. The paper, type and whole mechanical execution of the work make it as creditable, rich and luxurious a piece of finished execution as has ever api>eared here. Tills American eainon wiu De comprehend*! tn between forty and forty-eight parts, issued, as wu have 9aid, two in each month, at a cost of fifty cents each. This price is so reasonable that only a gemor ons patronage can remunerate the publishers. The work is a timely one for two especial reasons. France is before the eyes and minds of all Christian people, as In a state of chronic revolution ;©ontinnal ly engaging our wonder and our sympathy. The causes of all the revelations and excitements, the tragedies and disasters, the glories and the rscnper ative energies of the nation lie back in Its earliest his tory. Filled as this Is, with romance, heroism, and the alternations of triumph and defeat, it has all the charm, fascination and absorbing interset which ages of human activity and endurance can connect with the scenes of man's abode. And again, thts work fills a great gap in our abounding literature. There is no good and trustworthy volume or set ef volumes on our shelves with which this can enter into rivalry. It has the field to Itself. We have ex amined both the English edition of the first two vol umes, and that portion of them which has been re produced here. The elegantly printed pages and tn© abounding ant' beautiful illustrations of storied scenes, places, iucidents and persons, *11 present® in the harmonies of time, scenery, surroundings and costumes, have all the richness of the o ^a chronicle,.
