Gilt-Edged People.

The pecuniary' pressure bears down rather heavily on this class of persons. Our town is perhaps as free from such kind of drones as any other, qf its size in the Union; blit there are some here notwithstanding, and a pressure in the money market affects them more than the death of all 'thtrir Times draws a portrait of this class of people, that unswi rs for other lalitud« beside Long Island: •‘The would-be aristocracy are struggling against the pressure at the present writing. Thors is a limit to costly dresses and luxurious living with some of them, although they manage to keep up appearances. The little stem .of ‘’appearance” is a wonderful veil, not to be approached by the ~deep hire or impenetrable brown for disguise. The delicate young thing who takes tea and toast at It) for breakfast, strums ‘blight Allbrate’ at 11, lunches light- j Jy at 1, promenades at 3, dines at G,. and lounges on a spring sofa until midnight, is a dangerous sort of giltedge. To the .casual observer, she has the majesty and mien of one well bred; but to the initiated, she is a tiring for commi -era!"oil. The youth whose brain is racked with the fashion ofhis garment —whose_aa.-_ 'pirations are to ape a beau ideal mail , who allows nothing to come between the wind and his dignity, and who talks like one of authority—such an edition of the trowsers-wearer should fie h urafl nely treated to a lima tic retreat, disguised in calf, and finished with a little marble edging. •Seriously, this gilt-edge is a dangerous canker. The external appearance is good, but beneath it is frantically j corrupt. Posterity and place should not set men crazy, nor make women. ; tools.

Female Barbers. —As to any plea - tire there may be in being shaved, we have never seen it recorded; except, indeed, by a writer who thus discourses of its performance by barbercsscs: “We have also been shaved by lovely young damsels in Italy; and there, we think, is the only place to experience a truly luxurious shave. The young lady’s operation is so pleasant as she manipulates your chin with her soft hand, immersed in creamy lather, and her action is so fairo-tike and graceful, that,Tie feeds almost inclined to wish that like Garagantua in Rabelais, one had ten chins The charming maiden, too, beguiles your attention during the whole time by her delicious converse —ami only think of havivgyour nose pulled by a hansom dark-eyed girl; ever}’ glance teeming with spiritual fire, and darting forth a heart slaughter!’ . Dreadfci, unfortunate occurrence took place about three milgs north of this place, on Monday last. The only son of Andrew Lipp, a lad about nine years of age, was assisting his father in hauling hay with a single horse, the animal became wayward, and started ’ s t»t*the house, the boy unable to check him jumped off, and by some means the chain, that was draging behind, got firmly wraped around his ancle, at which the horse became frightened, and started off at full speed with the unfortunate sufferer chained to him.
