A Frenchmen of the Middle Ages odd that all Men were proud of their eesembiance to some animal, particu- eal3rto the eagle, the lion, the tiger, theelephant and the owl. The ambi- tion, power, freedom, strength, and isbelom typified by these beasts were see gifts1which men emulated. They were all untameable, miuseful animals, excepting the elephant, 'and he had. his dangerous side. No maa is being 00m- in:tented by being tom that he look hie a horse or a dog, although they are leseeet him in intelligence; perhaps their subserviency offends his vanity. No woman likes to be told that she Wks like a sheep, although many yeo- men do look like sheep: The miser . los his prototype in the rodents, whose biro narrow, geawing teetb are eternally -produced in humanity. TO look like an old lion is the proud pauliarity of the strong greybeards. there is nothing finer, more impressive Inman than this resemblance. Long- eellova ha;s it as a familiar illustration. We -see it often in the bestpictures of the 41 Greek poets. When a man's eye remains bright, although the •shaggy brow.above it has tamed white, the:effedt is splendid. There, seems to bean unquenchable fire behinj that penthouse. Ib is the lamp whiele never gees out. Men of -sardonic temper and smooth outlines, who are wise enough se wear a. straight moustaehe, have a mini resemblance to a Bengal tiger. They look cruel, but it is a handsome, strong cruelty. No ono ohn help re - Seeding a Bengal tiger, although his traits are scarcely amiable. No One, however, likes to look like. a cat, al- though, alas! too many of us do. We hate small, ignoble feroeity, common- place deceits, secretive capabilities. To see a cat start off on a diplomatic mis- sion aoross a field, with no public to deceive, but with only an obscure Mouse to surprise, with all the precautions against detection which a Borgia might have used, to see her feints. of going eaat when slie means to go west, is to see old. Talleyrand revealed, and to laugh at and admire the desire of the human race to ciretunvent somebody, to take the crooked path when the straight one would be much 'easier: The cat is a satire on diploro.acy.; she should be studied. People look like dogs, sometimes not unpleasantly, sometimes ludicrously. A. very mucb whiskered individual, • driving in a Victoria down towu with his Scotch terrier, asked a witty lady what she thought of them. "Why, I thought you were beside yourself !" A. man of the cDundreary type can look very like a terrier. There is a noble mastiff look, which is holiest and fine. Christopher North had it, and. Walter Scott looked like his own Maids. The bull -dog finds his manly prototype in Bill Sykes, and we have all seen slen- der, greyhound 'seeking M611 and little, mean ferret faces on the lookout for game. Noble oxen are reproduced in some grotesque faces, and Virgil speaks of "Ox -eyed Juno." Two eyes, a nose and a mouth seem to admit of great varieties. They are easily imitated up to a certain point, then they become infinitely varied. The resemblance to animals is largely dwelt upon by the Dierwinites,. who seem to find in this lingeriug look a proof of the doctrine of evolution. This school of thinkers, however, always ignore the one great question, as to when and where the soul entered into the progressive cow, or sheep, or ape, • and the animal became man. T 'ey do not dwellupon that conclusive 1 ex- periment of the brutal savage and the intelligent ape, whom some traveller brought from Patagonia, and who in three months of training in England re- sulted in this fact—the ;ape remained an ape, while the.sa,vage had learned to read and to write and to pray. The re- semblance of man to monkeys is, in- deed, very remarkable and disagreeable. Who wasit that said he could not bear to be with them, they looked. 80 like poor relations? There is the little old. bearded monkey, -so like a prominent philanthropist. There is the cockney little fop of a monkey, so like our Jeunse done, There is the Orange - mouthed, big -chinned chimpanzee, the type of a. sensualist. There is the little lady monkey, with airs and graces so ' like an affected woman. The worst of this resemblance is that, we see our- selves; alasf! at our worsti We see what we may be to others tha,n. oar - elves. Courtship Among the Hudson B a,ee Half—Breeds. Francais or Gabriel generally comes early in the evening, and having been duly embraced- and hand -shaken, by the entire familx, is at once invited to dine. The fact oi its beiug past the •dinner hour makes no difference, as the invita- tion is extended in accordance with hospitable custom. • The father of Philomel takes his. seat at table with his guest, being in duty bouncl to eat with every, onehe entertains, and the female members of the family wait upon them. Both pro-, ceed to make themselves omnipresent as far as possible. Their fingers aro everywhere, and ignoring such confin- ing influences as knives and forks, they &Kea attain an etviable state of greasi- ness. During the progress of the meal the host is untiring in his efforts to overload_ his guest with buffalo -hump and tea. He informs him that he eats no mere than a sparrow; that it is a mystery to him how he is able to pre- serve life at all on So small iafeenantity of food; •that he confidently expects him to become a saint in glory ere long, hut intends doing his best not to let him go up from his roof by reason of starva- tion, that Philomel has an ppetite something like his own, lend, • that it has -Veen t ,csiuse of anxiety to him all her life long. While thus commiserating his guest's Poor appetite, mon pere is rapidly and bountifully helping himself, and. makes amends ler what he is pleased to call his vieitor's abstemiousness. -When both have eaten enough to cause im- mediate surfeit, and the father-in-law in prospect is Mae iu the face, a sthoke is suggest(,d. . While sinoldha is going Philomel • aeftly veeps *from the table the remnants of the repast, and retires to a corner of the apartment by. herself. Rere, when the fumigation is over, the enamored Gabriel joins her, and his doing So is a signal for the rest of the atniiy tb become sudd.enly unconscious O t their presence. This oblivion does duty on such occilnions for a seperaie apartment. Whatever ineidents of a tender nature occur are supposed to be invisible to any person save the principals. Everybody acts on this theory. Even the respected but dis- sipated host produces his black bottle with the hoarded store of rum, and drinks-- it himself, under the assumed belief that his young guest is in the next room. The small brothers-in-law that are to be, indulge in a rather vindictive skirmish over a. moccasin game in utter ignorance of any bodily pressure; and, the seven sisters , of Philomel criticise the out Of her lover's, garments, and the classic but retiring beauty of ' his countenance, with a nharening unconscieusuess of his close proximity. Philoinel, plastic • and pliable Philomel, is in no manner abashed. at being wooed in the presence of her relatives, and even beoomee her- self the wooer. on discovering that Gabriel ie in a certain degree timid. She intimates by caresses of the hand, that they are alone, and converses in a • tone of voice suffieientely loud. to dispel the idea that they can be overheard. If Gabriel recovers courage in some Measure, he , looks ;upon Philoinel - admiringly, as he would upon any other thing of -beauty, and it is net long before she becomes ' consCious of the Observation. ' Then it is a study to watch the ars asstmed by this half- breed belle. he is as well versed. in the freenaasonry of her sex 9.S if born with a white skin and ' reared in Madison Square. There is no difference in her Mode of action ; the only difference is in the.effect.- Gabriel, unless he is an adept • at the business, can not entirelyrid himself of the depreesing effect of twelve pairs of eyes taking in his glaneee. He is, in canaequence, not so susceptible to her wiles as he would be if otherwise situated. i At first . he limits his love• : making to affectionate looks, caresses, ' and the simple forms of speech Whieh convey to her knowledge that she -:is the light of - his 'eyes. . As the evening advances, and his embarrassment wears off, he ventures upon remarks; of a more intensely passionate 'nature, in- dicative of his rove and desire to be first in. her affections. The mixed language spoken by the lovers Afford an unlimited supply of diminutives; ined Gabriel may call his sweetheart by • the names of almost an the animal creation, and yet use but legitimate pet names. In the °rep tongue he May ad- • dress her as his musk-ox, or, he desires to become more tender, may call her his musk -rat with equal propriety. By a blending of two Indian tongues she becomes a beautiful wolverine, and a standard but commonplace love -name is " my little pig." The half-breed's pet name's have all been taken from those of animals that seem to be especially innocent or beaul Vial in his eyes; and the , fact that different persons - have different standards of beauty and innocence has led to the invention of an almost un- limited vocabulary of diminutives. Wheu the lady -love, is inclined to be stout, the names of the larger animals are chosen, and rather liked by 1 her upon whom they • are conferred. We remember that one woman was , af- fectionately called the Megatherium— i a name that clung to her for months, as being peculiarly the representative of ideal love. After the lovers have Passed a con- siderable time in this manner, alone, as it were, the sista s and other female relatives of Pl, lemel evince a -n in- clination to tak - part in the wooing. They participate in the conversation by almost imperceptible degrees; then gather by slow approaches iuto the corner, set apart for the courting; and at last become ae radient but tawny group, sparkling and scintillating in the heathen tongues. They resolve them-. selves into a species of whippers -in ; condole with each other upon the pro- spective loss of their dear sister ; ,con- gratulate Gabriel upon having gained he affections of so irreproachable a Maiden as Philomel, and feel assured that their lives will be one of unalloyed. happiness. In this way the half-breed lover is wafted into matrimony with a facility and. dispatch not easily ex- celled by her fairer sisters of paved. aYenues. • A Wandering People. There is a strange wandering tribe of _ people in Hungary called. Zigeuners. They are somewhat Iiike the, Gipsies Cf northern Europe, having no fixed habitation, leading a free and inclepen: dent life, occupying moveable dwellings, and establishing themselves at intervals in the plains and forests. They journey from placp to place, and settle for the i time being in the immediate vicinity 1 of the locality where they seek employ- I ment. • "As they exercise various handi- crafts, they are always sure of being ! able to earn their livelihseed, whether by tinkering, carpentering, basket -mak- ing, china -mending, horke-shoeing, or other industries, while a certain number of them possess the remarkable gift of imagining the wildest and most stirring poems, and. interpreting them in a music entirely their own. Thus they trena31 from Village to village in their moveable wooden hut; with their families and all their chattels about them, pigs and dogs, their only ! live stock bring up the rear, a hammer and a bellows their only tools, and an iron • pot. their compendions cooking ' battery. Arrived at their halting place on the outskirts of a town, the'ey en- camp, dig a hole, and kindle their bivouac fire; they then unharness their horse, and leave him to find his pasture. While the women wash their clothes aud cook their food, the omen present themselves to their expectant employ- ers, and generally- find repairs and orders awaiting their arrival. ; 'Although the Zigeuners belong. to all countries, those of each country main- tain their distinctive peculiarities so rigidly from generation to generation that there is no tracing inthem any affinity to the races among which they hate established themselves. Wonderfully hardy in constitution, : they will face the extremes, whether , of heat or cold, without any -of those artificial compensations which with all' other peeple have become necessities of nature. Thus a mere rag suffices to cover them beneath the keenest blast, and they expose themselves bare -headed to the fiercest sun. The Zigeuner is reckless as a child, and wild as a beast of prey; he knows no care for the morrow, and is always in need. and in squalid poverty; though eager for 'a meal when he can get it by no matter Inommeneme, •THE what Means, he will go without foed unco plain' ingly when it is not—to be had; Itobacco, however, .is to him a nieces ity, and he can not school him- self to do without it; but he is content with tie vilest sort, and if he can not obtain any -fit to smoke, he rolls up into a ball such as he. can procure, and keeps it in his mouth. 1 The newly born Zigeuner child is from the liCur of its birth used to cold water by being plunged.into the nearest spring at whatever season of the year, and after a couple of weeks, travels tied td its mother's back or -borne on her head, whether through piercing cold oir torrid heat. For. the first two years it wears no clothing; - it receives no trailing of any kind, unless in the art of lundering or acquiring its trade, so tha its moral degradation may be easily stibiated. , • e• 1 • bonjiagaChess. l If y u are a mairried man and disn't know 4hess, never learn it. , Tne rea- son I giveyou this advice is because up to three evenings ago such a thing .as a c ess board was never known in Mr. G attan's house.

After giving the —shbject due thought, Mr. Grattan walked down town and purchased a chess board, and when evening came he surprisled his good wife by saying: ' "Well, Martha, we'll have a eame or two.
