ature, Fashion, and Pictorial Embsllishuient, a
rontant and ever varying nuci-esion of new and
tri'in- featurts. Nor doe he promise without
ample ability to perform. The ben literary tal

in the country-and, to crown as well as adorn the
whole, the mot perfect arrangements for ths re
ception ofthe American, lndon and Paris Fash
ions, far in advance of any other publication in
this countrv, enable him to assure tho patrons of
the LADY'S HOOK that tho forthcoming volume
will more than jut'ify its well earned title of the
Magazine of Maga-inss for the .adies of our
country. .
It hafl parsed into custom to assert lhatdres is
a ma;ter of trilling importance, but this every lady
kno vs t be utterly false. Taste in dress is uni-ers-il!y
ft It to be the index of a thousand deirable
Jalities in woman, while a deficiency in this res

ger", and een of her intimate friends the beauty
of Helen and the wit of Aspas'm, would hardly,

This usef.il oflke, already filled for fourteen
in urtss. llenco tni importance ot an accrdmte i i
years, with universal acceptance, by the Lidy's
Book, the publisher pledges himself to discharge in
future, in a style aurpaaiingall his former efforts.
Tho ladies know porlect'y well that ir .M agatins
is the highest authority in Fashion.
No lady considers herself well drved who con
travenes thi authority, and, in our own city, in .
York, Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, LoaisvHIe,
Lexington, St. Louis, New Orleans, lobile, Rich
tnond,Charlestc", Savannah, and the other metrop
olitan cities of the various States, the tasteful
Fashion Plates ofthe Lady'a Bookdh.tate the laws
of dress.
In future the figures will bejthrown into tasteful
jroupe, displayii.g the graces of dress to the best
advantage, and tha back grounds of the plates will
present interesting views," designed by the first
rate Artists.
As a farther assur.ar.es of thorough excellence in'
this department, the publisharhas secured tha ser
vices of Miss LESLIE, who will illustrate the
Fashion Plat's, in her usual felicitous and graph
ic atyle, uniting a thorough knowladge ofthe sub
ject, with a clear, graceful and intelligible man
ner of treating it. Her descriptions are worthy of
the productions of her own glowing pencil, which
drew the earliest Fashion Platai for the Lady'
Book.
The pjbluhar'8 correspondent in Faris ispo's
3Me 1 of such ample means of obtaining tho real
aad present Paris Fashions, and "of transmitting
them in advance of all competitors, thatthe ladies
y continue, as- they have always done, to copy
from our plates what has received tha sanction of
indisputable ton, tha last, the nawost, tho bast fash
ions, fresh from Paris.
The arransments far p.oducing a most brilliant
en 1 attractive ssriei of Line and Mezzotint En-Sravin-s

the easels of our first rate American Artists, are
now sictually in the hands of tha ablest American

A Parisian Kabbath.
FROM JEWETT'S FaSSAOCS IK rORtlON TRAVEL.
I had moved hardly twenty paces
from No. 16, Eue de Rivoli, when mv
eara were saluted by the heating of
drums, and the music of a martial band.
A thousand soldiers were following these
sounds into the place Carrousel. A re
view was about to take place. I had wit
nessed many simlar reviews before on
the same spot, but never before on the
Sabbath- Well,' .aid I, 'so far as the
military are concerned, Paris does not,
according to my notion, seem to be ral
lied about the banners of the Prince of
Peace.1
Watching the manoeuvring of several
companies of the National Guards, I
soon lost iu laughter all recollection of
tho sanctity of the time
There can bo J
no wider chasm between the physical
abearance of men- than that which
separates the National Uuards from the
Troop, ofthe Line. How pitiful seem
the latter, in those long gray ccats ard
red pantaloons! How villanously di
minutive is their stature! What good
for nothing expressions look blanlc on
their visages! And yet they handle
their muskets with a precision, harmo
ny and dexterity that proclaim in every
instant the omnipotence of the drill.
But at their sides is ranged a battalion
of National Guards.
Behold their portly stomachs, their
massive frames, their fine complexions,
their plumpcheeks, their eyes full of ex
pression, and their tout-ensemble aboun
ding in consequential citizenship. They
are your martial personification of the
embonjwint, the idea of that word in an
other vehicle; the FalstafTa laFrancaUe.
These are the men unto whom, by its
sixty-sixth article, is confided the protec- j
Hon ot the charter of 1830. They are
men of business. . They have pecuniary
interests in society, and of course are
interested in the preservation of public
tranquility. They are the peculiar se
curity of Philippe and his throne. Still
do they look any thing but martial; and
as for their bcaring.it is altogether un
soldrcrlike. Your National Guard mar
ches along behind a pair of spectacles,
caring little for his gait, still less for
his musket; laughing with his comrade,
jokeing with his captain, or muttering to
himself; mistaking shut pan' for shoul
der arms,1 and apparently requiring for
the correspondence "of his step . with
time, the benefit of legs ri'6ly chalked
-tefi, Ttgtit.- vrticu wt iny, i? is rrmr
the time laughed at by others, and the
remaining half by himself. He knows
that he cuts ji laughable figure, that he
is each night burlesqued upon the stage,
and caricatured in every print shop un
der the words, 'Tribulations of the Na
tional Guards.' Hence has he no par
ticular ambition to look or walk tho
soldier. - Sometimes he parades in a
hucc cloak; sometimes he marches smo
king a cigar ; sometimes he 'orders a rms1
to take anufl"; and always is he talking,
always does he laugh at his awkward
blunders in tactics, and always does he
look fat. Indeed, slcnderness and an
gularity are no longer national features.
1 he age of beau marquessess has gone
by. The French men are fat, the French
women are fat, and, so far as fatness is
concerned, the French children are fol
lowing in the footsteps of their parents.
Leaving the military parade, I direc
ted my steps towards the Musee Royale.
I perceived its huge doors swung wide
ly open, while hundreds were rushing
through them, and thousands were wan
dering within, among its works of art
in marble and on canvass. 'Praysaid
I, to a crimsoned liveried huissier at
the portal. 'is the Louvre open on the
Sabbath?' 'Certainly, sir,' replied he,
'this is the only public Jay. The Royal
Family visit it on Monday; On other
week days it is open to those who have
permission, or passports, ' but all the
world aro free to enjoy it on tho Sab
bath.' 1 took a turn through the a
partments. They wero thronged with
the middle and lower classes; with res
pectable gentlemen in the red riband
with countrymen in wooden shoes; and
grizetts in clean white caps. Sympa
pathy with art, thought I, is indeed wide
in this metropolis. It thrives under
a dirty jacket as beneath an embroider
ed, mantle, but Paris artistical is any
thing but Paris evangelical.
Quitting the Louvre, I walked up
throngh the Garden of the Tuilleries,
and here the scene was far more stir
ring, and ten thousand times more bril
liant that 1 had just left. Some hun
dreds were reading newspapers, other
hundreds wero lounging listlessly upon
the seats; hundreds of bucks were sport
ing their canos, and an elegant gait
through the promenades; hundreds of
ladies wandered in magnificent attiro a
round the fountains; a thousand children
jumped the rope, or drove their hoops
in every direction, while their nurses,
those Campaigns nurses in hale rod
cheeks, and broad outspreading bosoms!
laughed, danced, chatted, and thus res
ponded with exuberant joy, to all the
shouts, and all the laughter ofthe crea
tures under their charge. 'This is cer
tainly a very delightful scene,' said I,
'but it seems to be distinguished from its
brcthrea on week days, only by more
resolved enjoyment, more loud, impetu
ous sport.' By a New Englander who
had been aciusiomed to keep Saturday
night f scrupulous observance from
sundovtonwards, and who, moreover,
io boy
bd had been taught, fcat even
an idle)
hislle upon the Sabbajh was a
profanpn of Us holiness, sue
could Irdly be deemed in
a scene
aarmony
with tf forth commandment.

uingff others1 habits according as they
l v i i i n
corrpond with, or deviatedfrom, the
stanlirds which I had been jeeustomed
to ntemplato in my ownjrountry.
No.ithstanding all I have sfcn and am
seeg, said I, the Parisi?nj rnay have
at iuch religion as any peipl on the
faie' the earth, onty thej nre a Utile
pecdiar in their forms of keeping holy
theLord,s day ; .andso I walked on past
thcobelisk to the Champs Ely sees. 1
fond the Champs Elysces thronged
Moving dow n the Rue St. Honore, I
fond its shops a'l open. The milliners
wfe sewing and ogling at tho windows;
thi shoemakers were boating their last;
thj legs of the tailors were crossed;
th hatters were at work; the saddlers
wre ai wotk ; inc iruuimiaivcis noio

. I. . - . 1 1 - - t J
le marrou roaster sold his marrous;
thlpalissier sold his pate de foie gras,
an at'Aux Palmiers I saw, as on any
prfanc day, its black-eyed divinity
shined within her accustomed pyramids
all transparent, her pastilles and her
boibons. At length 1 stood before St.
Rah. 'Ah, here is a church at last,'
sai? I. 'Entering, I found it crowded.
Thi Catholic service was proceeding in
coiinany with tho most solemn and im
pressive music. Far be it from me to
inshuafj any thing derogatory to the
moives which led that throng within
thoie walls. It is one of my pleasures
tojive pictures, true though faint they
may be, of some scenes which pass be
fore me. I do not wish to distort tnc
sce.es within this sanctuary. I saw
theie many kneeling forms, many de
vour expressions, and the eyes of many
turned hevenwards, whose thoughts, I
trust, were on the same diving pilgrim
age. I sincerely hope that this may be
a .tvpe of all Paris, nay, of all France.
- - . - Online i
the Trois Pires, I cogitated how I should
spend the evening. 'Were 1 in Boston,'
said I, I might join the throngs which
in a few hours will crowd tho churches
and prayer meetings; but I am in Paris
i Garcon, le Courrier des Theatres!
Bien, Monsieur! From this little period
ical I ascertained that I could choose be
tween three Royal Operas, twenty-one
Theatres and two Concerts. Shall I go
to the Italians, said I, forGrisi, and Ru
bini, and Tambarini, and LaBlache; &
where may be seen the best blood and
the best diamonds of Pans? Or shall
I go to the Grand Opera for Taglioni,
with the bravocs and bouquets moment
ly rained down upon her? Or shall I
enjoy the soft voice of Damoreau Cinti,
at the Opera Comique? " But here again
are the Theatres. Mademoiselle Mars
plays at the Francais and Lemcitre at
theVariets. Shall I see performed the
'Three Hearts of Woman,' at the Vaude
ville, or this piece entitled 'Vivo le Dia
ble,' at tho Porte St. Martin? But here
moreover, aro the concerts. Which
shall be patronized, Julliea"'s or Musard's
Paying ono franc, you may enjoy two
hours ofthe finest music in tho world.
I resolved upon Musard's. in his mag
nificent rooms wero ninety musicians,
playing for their own and the pleasure
of two thousand hearers. How ma
ny Parisians are engaged io giving and
receiving theatrical pleasures? said I to
myself, as the last strain of ono of Mu
sard's fine quadrilles died upon my oar.
What with two concerts twenty-two the
atres and three opera houses, there can
not be less than fifteen hundred artists.
Nay, this estimate is too small, for up
on tho single stage of the Grand Opera
you may often see at ono time more
than three hundred artists. Say, then,
two thousand artists. And for their au
diences, say eighty thousand. Imagine
every inhabitant of Boston, looking,
laughing, and shouting at operas, con
certs, ballets, vaudevilles, dramas, and
melo-dramas, and you get some notion
what, on a Sabbath evening, is 'Paris
gay.' Having taken, at 11 o'clock, the
usual supper of Riz-au-lait, I was about
retiring to my quiet chamber?. I believ
ed the amusements of the Pa'risian Sab
bath terminated. Miserable, baseless
belief! For thousands on thousands of
those amusements are' Just, beginning.
Nine masked balls are announced for
this evening. The earliest commences
precisely at eleven o'clock. Pray, shalj
we look for an hour or two into the
masked balls? Shall we peer at frail
Cyprians through the sombre domino?
Shalt we join the impetuous gallopade,
or whirl in the dreamy gyrations of tho
waltz!
The New York banks have more spe
cie than they want, and refuse to re
ceive Mexican and Spanish small change,
which is somewhat lighter than Ihe Am
erican coin.
