THIBODAUX, LOUISIANA, SATURDAY, JUIE 25, 1853. NUMBER 29. From the " Southern Ladies' Book." The Creole GirL Xct some sing the praise of the donnas of Spain, gome the pay-hearted maidens of France, gome English, some Irish, some Scotch, some the fame Of the Moorish, who melt in a glance— -As forme, T will sing of the glorious girl, That in one shows the charms of the whole; ïhe beauty that sets heart and head in a whirl— • The languishing, loving Creole. There'. 1 « naught that's as soft as her dark waving hair, There's naught like hçr long silken lash, cThere's naught like the grace of her motion and air, : • There's naught like the passionate flash |j|pf her large, indescribable, dark, dreamy eyes, §| That swim in an ocean of soul ; s Ah, Love wakes to life and indifference flies lv. ; At the sight of the lovely Creole ! Jfone, none love as well as the warm-hearted girl, ■0 Who dwells 'nea&hthe blue Southern sky ! When Love in her soul doth his pinions unfurl, For the one she adores she would die ; , gbe asks not, she cares not what others may think ; ; Her wealth is her lover's kind smile; ' gbe cHngs to his barque, tho* 'tis ready to sink, v Tho' the yorld and its minions revile. Ah ! who with this beautiful maid can comparé —^ This wikl devotee unto Love ; This tropic-exotic, &e sweetest, most rare— I This angel, matched only above ! Let hearts, ruled by heads, have their beauties more calm— Their maidens reserved and more cold, But I choose the maid whose warm heart's in her palm— The matchless, impulsive Creole I The following poetical correspondence is n id to have actually passed between Mr. A. R. Nott and Miss Amanda Mann, of Kennebunk port, Me., and to have been the bona fide "pro posal" which resulted in the Rev. C. W. Hey good uniting them in the holy bantls of matri mony, in their native town, on the 10th ult.— "The fact that they were known to be inveterate punsters makes the statement more probable. , The Boston Post, from which we extract—and : .»ffords, by-the-by, additional assurance to our f readers that the whole affair is as true as the I gospel—says it is possible that the last stanza Uwas added by its correspondent. NOTT TO AMANDA. %, Oh, that I could prevail, my lair, .f? ' That we unite our lot ! Oh, take a man, Amanda Mann, And tie a "double knot." I Your coldness drivss me to despair— What shall I do? ah xchatf For yon I'm growing thin and spare— For you I'm a "pint Nott." If I should hear that you had died 'T would kilt me on the spot— Yet only yesterday, I cried " Ah ! would that she were Nott !" The "chords" and teudrils of my heart Around thee fondly " twine "— Amanda ! heal this aching smart I Amanda, oh be mine! These very terms, aa I opine, Suggest uiiited lots— Let's tie then, dear, these " cords " and " twine " In hymeiiial knots. MISS AMANDA MANX'S REPLt. This life, we know, is but a sjtan, Hence I have been afraid That I should still remain A. Mann, And die at last—a maid. And often to my9elf T say On looking round, I find There's Nott, a man in every way Just suited to my mind. I fein would whisper him, apart, He'd make me blest for life— If he would take me to his heart And make A. Mann a wife. Love not, my mother often says, And so too says the song— I'll heed the hint i:, future days, And lote Nott well and long. Then oh ! let Hymen on the spot, His chain around me throw— And bind me in a lashing knot Tied with a single beau! And now I give myself to you, And thus unite our lota— Then tie those "cords and twine" info A dozen little Notts. A G ood E xcuse .—There is a society in *"tence in this city, which like most other oiations of the same kind, has * standing i that all members who come late, or •nt themselves shall be fined a certain , unless they are able to give a sufficient use for their tardiness.

Fern Leaves. BY FANNY FERN. ' Well, Susan, what do you think of mar ried ladies being happy ?" "Why, I think there are more aint that is, tlfan is that aivt.' 3 Susan, I shall apply to the Legislature to have your name changed to "Sapphira." You are an unprincipled female. Matrimony is another na.ne for Paradise, at least in the Fern Dictionary. Just imagine yourlilf Mrs. Snip. It is a little prefix not to be sneezed at. It is only the privileged few, who can secure a pair of corduroys to mend, and trot by the side of: or a part of coatflaps (alternately to darn, and hang on to.) amid the vicissitudes of this patchwork existence. Think of the high price of fuel, Susan, and the quantity it takes to warm a low spirited, single woman; and then think of having all that found for you by your '-sleep ing partner." aa^l no extra charge for "gas." Think how pleasant to go to the closet and find a great boot-jack on your best bonnet ; or "to woik your passage" to the look in g flass every morning throngh a sea of ickeys, vests, coats, continuations, and neck-ties; think of your nicely-polished toi lette table spotted all over with shaving sods ; think of your "Guide to Young Wo men'" used for a razor-strap. Think of Mr. Snip's lips being hermetically sealed, day after day, except to ask yoil "if the coal was out, or if his coat was mended." Think of corning up from the kitchen, in a gasping state of exhaustion, after making a batch of his favorite pies, and finding five or six great dropsical bags disemboweled on your cham ber floor, from the contents of which Mr. Snip had selected the "pieces" of your best silk gown for "rags" to clean his gun with. Think of his taking a watch-guard you made him out of your hair for a dog-collar ! Think of your promenading the floor, night after night, with your fretful, ailing baby hushed up to your warm cheek, lest it should disturb your husband's slumber; and think of his coming home the next day, and telling you, when you were exhausted with your vigils, "that hë had just met his old love, Lilly Grey, looking as fresh as a daisy, and that it was unaccountable how much older you looked than she, although you were both the same age." Think of all that. Susan, and see if you dare teli me again that "there's more aint that is, than is that ainl" —happy married women. I came very near bursting my boddice with iadignation at your impudent assertion. T he B earded W oman ."—As if that was curiosity ! I can see legions of them any day (without collapsing my pocket-book by a trip to Armory Hall) lisping and mincin aimless through creation, on their patent leather toes, behind a dickey and moustache Poor, silly creatures! they excite my com misseration, and I sometimes feel as though 1 should like to tuke them up with a pair of sugar tongs, spread them out on a rose leaf and feed them with a pap spoon. A pretty bit of live satire that they don't challenge her, for invading their feminine territory I meet so many of these "bearded women," that it is a perfect relief to meto see a huge broad-shouldered, full-chested Anakim of a Vermonter, with a fist like a sledge-hammer, a voice like Mars and astride like Hercules I can get up something akin to respect for such an embodiment of masculinity; but ihese be-whiskered, be-scented, be-cravat ted, be-jeweled. be-everlasting-dispised Li! liputian dandies— these bearded women— Betty! throw up the window, and loosen my boddice. I'm faint. K issing and T obacco .—Miss Fanny Fern, in reply to an observation by a cotemporary, that "the women ought to make a pledge not to kiss a man who uses tobacco," very pertinently and sensibly remarks as follows "So they had ; bof the deuce of it is, all (he handsomest men use it in some shape and kissing is little luxury not fo be dis pensed with !" As to a female kiss, faugh there's no effervescence in it; it's as flat as an unmixed soda powder! If I am victimized that way, I always take an early application of soap and water! You Will see wom'en practice it sometimes just to keep their hand in—lips I mean—but it's a miserable sub stitute ! a sham article ! done half the time to tantalize some of the male audience! hope to be pardoned for turning "State's evidence," but I don't care a pin if I ain't. Now, kissing is a natural gift—not to be ac quired by a bungler—when we meet gifted brother . "make a note on't," as Cap tain Cuttle says. There's your vntversal kisser, who can't distinguish between your? and your grandmother's—there's your phi losophical, transcendental kisser, who goes through the motions in the air —then there's -oh, my senses!—they say there is such a; thing as "unwritten music," and "unwrit ten poetry." I have my private 1 suspicion that there are unwritten ktsses f" [J3P* "Fanny Fern," whose literary pro ductions at the present time are very popular among the newspaper and magazine readers, is, says thë Newport News, the daughter of Nathaniel Willis, lor many years the publish er of the Boston Recorder, and now the ublisher of a child's Sunday School paper, he is sister to N. P. Willis, and to R. S. Willis of the "Musical World and Times." [Or* "Wonderful things are done nowa days," said Mr. Timmins ; "the doctor has given Flack's boy a new lip, from his cheek." "A'h," said his lady, "many's the time I have known a pair taken from mine, and no very painfal operation; either." How we P at. — A wèli known political economist says: "We pay best, first, those who destroy us—-generals; second, those who cheat us—politicians atiif' quacks; third; those who amuse lis—singers and' musi cians; and, least of all, those who instruct us—authors, schoolmasters and editors." T he D ahlia .—We do not know of one single gem in Flora's diadem, more ex quisitely beautiful than the dahlia; and there is nothing easier of culture and pro pagation, and nothing that continues longer in bloom. The wonder is that it is not more generally cultivated at the south. For dah lias this season commenced blooming in April, and they have been one dense mass of bloom ever since, with a prospect of con tinuing so until frost. The forms range from the exquisite double cup to the open petal. Some are singularly unique and beautiful; for instance, a deep crimson with a single white petal, scarlet and white, yellow and red, variegated, and all the thou sand fancy forms anil colors which Flora in her wildest, gayest freaks couhl possibly as sume. The dahlia thrives and blooms best in a sandy soil—tap rich a soil making it too bushy. Where the soil is naturally rich, a shovelful of sand put around the tubers v^ill be of great service: and when it is naturally poor, a shovelfull of well-rotted manure will be ihe same. But the dahlia loves water, and, when the season is not reasonably wet, it must have artificial water ing. We commend its culture to all lovers of the beautiful. Many who cultivate dahlias are not aware of the ease with which the plant may be ob tained from the seed. This may be gathered in sufficient quantities at the season of the year from almost any plant which has blos somed freely during the summer. If sown in the spring in a rich warm soil, with a southern exposure, they will, without any extra care, produce plants which will blos som abundantly during the same season. The practice of keeping the tubers through the winter is quite unnecessary, except for the preservation of choice varieties. Those obtained from the seed will commence blos soming somewhat later in the season than others, but early enough to mature seed, while the varieties which can be thus se cured are almost endless.— Southern Culti vator. A " C elestial " V isitant .—The Illinois, which arrived here on Friday, had on board a Hong Kong Sow. which, if she lives until the next county cattle show, will carry away all the medals and diplomas offered in the pork suction. She is not a large animal, but monstrously fat. Her legs are very short, and she measures about four feet in length, five feet round, is seventeen months old, and weighs nearly three hundred pounds. Hes daily allowance on board has been two ship's biscuit per diem, except in crossing the line, when her ladyship suffered from the heat, and was put upon a low diet. She will be placed upon the farm of Mr. Willard Nye, one of the owners of the Illinois.— New Bedford Mercury. I ndia R ubber T eeth .—This article, in the form of purified white India rubber, has been patented in England, for making arti ficial teeth, gums, and palates. In this way many advantages hitherto impossible to be attained have been introduced. The ad hesion is complete, it can be moulded with perfection to suit every inequality of the gums and teeth, and supplies an artificial periosteum, as it were, to the teeth, when they become painful by the wasting away of the gum ; added to these is the elasticity of the material which completely obviates the inconveniences that arise from any mo tion with artificial teeth as made by other means.— Scientific American. H air W aters .—A very fashionable liquid, now in such prevalent use for removing the dandruff from the hair, is made by mining together bay rum 4 quarts ; water 1 pint; glycerin 2 ozs. ; tinct. cantharides oz.; carb. ammonia oz. ; borax 1 oz. Dissolve the two last in the water and add the solution to the other materials mixed to gether, and then shake up well. The hair is moisteued with this liquid, and the slight lather occasioned by rubbing with the hands must be washed out with water. By doubling the quantity of borax, the lather is more soapy, but the addition is inju rious to the hair. By omiting the borax, a wash is obtained nearly identical with the far famed "Balm of Colambia," and similar cosmetics for the hair. H air T onic ,—Black tea 2 ozs.; water i gallon; bay rum 1 quart; glycerin 3 ozs.; tinct. cantharides, 1 oz. Exhaust the tea with the water heated to boiling, filter, and stir in the remaining in gredients previously mixed.-— Ex. The Scientific American says that can tharides should never be used ; they injure the hair far more than the borax; they were first employed by the French perfumers. Some honey added to either of these hair waters greatly improves their quality for thickening the growth of the hair. To C ure S heep S kins with the W ool on. —Take one spoonful of alum and two of saltpetre; pulverize and mix well together, then sprinkle the powder on the flesh sides together, leaving the wool outside. Then fold up the skins as tight as you can, and hang them in a dry place. In two or three days, as Soorr as they are dry, take them down and scrape them with a blunt knife till cleàn and suple. This completes the process and makes a most excelent saddle cover. Other skins which you desire to cure with the fur on, may be treated in the same way. 0^=* A lump of wet saleratus, applied to the sting of a wasp or bee, will stop the pain iu one moment, and prevent it from swelling. Pin this fact up somewhere for this season's use, for those who are not fond of the sensa tion of a sting!

It is the intention of the publisher to fol'ow it np with a rtu- edition of the LOUISIANA REPORTS, noted in the same manner ; and, also, to publish new editions of the CIVIL CODE AN I) CODE OK PRACTICE. In the litter works, it is proposed to publish the original text entire, follow each article with the Stataiary Amendments entire and the decisions of the Supreme Conrt upon each, by re ference to the volume and page. Such works will require great labor aria care, and as they will he execute! under the immediate superintendence of the annotator of Martin's Rep irts, I think they can be safely commended to the especial hftentîon of the profession.
