I Tne Growth of Licentious- | aessi — I It is a shocking commentary np’on the public taste that an inde- ’ cent play, fu 1 of coarse double ' erttenib’Ci hudity and licentions- ; ness. should actually attract more ■ people and pay better as a theatrical , venture than the S icst drama in the ! language performed by the same ; persons. It shows a horrible ci‘:iv- i ing in the minds of the masses, j ■ ami even among people with some ■ pretensions to position and refine- ! I menu for the vilest and grossest ! performances. Unfortunately the , tendency to this kind of thing is I ! not confined to the stage. Go <3 ’ where von will —at the theater, on the street, and in the ball-ropm—-i you see an powder, rouge, and lownecked dressing, which is the result of the imitation of a certain style of French woman not necessary to | mention: Tne ed’-et of all this is 1 t > break down all the barriers ! which surround young’ woman- i •hood, arid cultivate a freedom and I abandon of manner which is fatal) to propriety if not to morality ! Unseen charms have a thousand times the fascination of those so liberally displayed. Modesty ami nn lity of dress are impossible in a ! ballroom, and cannot long keep: coin) nuy. | - ——*—— ——— • Hobisisoa Crusoe’s iicccssor.

Curious Phenomenon. A singular phenomenon, we are informed, has been witnessed in the vicinity of a village in upper Austria. On Thursday, the 19th uit . the s >ii covering several v »kes , of land in the neighborhood of Moll, a few leagues (loin the town ' of Slever. suddenly fell in with s crash like thn ider. and where the! oats were waving a few seconds before, there suddenly appeared a lake. The water of this newest ad : dition to upper Austrian see ten is clear,. its temperature is very l >w, a id it is said to have much resemblance to that of. the glacier lakes.
