This is what a satirist says of his ladylove, when he saw her dancing at a ball, —“Around her snow brow were set £3O in the shape of diamond flakes of light; with the gentle undulation of her bosom rose and fell £SOO in a necklace of brilliants. Her fairy form was invested in £lO, represented by a slip of azure satin, and this was overlaid by £3O more in two skirts of white lace. Tastefully down each side of the latter were laid £L 15s worth, which so many bows of snowy ribbon had come to. The lower margins of the £3O skirts were edged with £ll additional, the value of some fringe a quarter of a yard in depth. Her taper waist, taking zone and clasp to gather, I calculated to be confined in £3O. Her delicately roundel arms—• the gloves of c eamy kid bein' added to the bracelets which encircled the little wrists—may be said to have been ad"rned with £22; and, putting the silk and satin at the lowest figure, I should say she wore £2 upon her feet. Thus, altogether was this thing of light, this creature of loveliness, arrayed from top to toe, exclusive of little sundries, in about £33G or thereabouts.” Holloway’s Pills.—Though good health is pieferable to high ho .our, how regardless people often arc of the former—how covetous of the latter!

The removal of indigestion by these Pills is so oasv, that none save the most thoughtless would permit it to sap the springs of life.
