A Turkish Beauty*

I enjoyed the pleasure this morning of being introduced to a very handsome Turkish lady, in order to give moan opportunity of witnessing a perfect specimen of Oriental beauty. After a good deal of persuasion she allowed me to copy her profile. Her eyes and eye lashes were intensely black, though I suspect the latter were stained of a deeper dye than the natural one. Her complexion was beautifully fair, with the slightest tinge of carnation suffuseflk over the cheek. Her lips! sweet lips! that make us sigh even to have seen such. Her glossy hair, which was hun£ with akalemkeir or painted handkerchief, representing

whole parterre of flowers, fell in loose curir upon her shoulders, and down hefla-k. .She wore a short black velvet jacuiat, embroidered with gold lace trotu^ia of sky blue silk an under jacket of pink crape, and one of those beautiful transparent shirts which ravish the beholder, and "half reveal the charms they fit in would hide." A magnificent Persian shawl encircled her waist, which had nature's own form, never having been compressed by the cruel bondage of stays. Her

feet

A Levlathnn of the Deep. A large black structure, "very like a whale" has been slowly rising on the bank of the Thames, near Loudon, for several mouths, which is destined at no distant day to astonish the world. It is the new steamship of Mr. Brunei, built entirely of iron plates, and intended to be the biggest contrivance that ever floated. She is about*the size of Noah's Ark, according to the dimensions laid down in Genesis. The passenger who sets out to walk from her bow to her stern and back again will have a journey of just $ quarter of a mile. She is divided by tight bulkheads into twenty-one compartments, each of them so large that if a three story house wero dropped in, there might be some trouble iu finding it again. Her paddle-wheels aru larger round than the ring of Dan Rice's Circus, Four steam engines are to drive them, and six more •to turn a monstrous screw. Besides her ten engihes she is to carry seven masts.

She lies broadside in the stream, while she is building, and is to be launched sideways—her immense size rendering it inconvenient to tilt her up lengthwise in the ordinary fashion.

So vast an apparatus, of course, is too unwieldy for men to handle by ordinary means. Mechanical power is requisite. Iler steam engines are to weigh anchor, work the pumps, and raise the sails. A telegraph wire runs from (he Captain's room to the engineer, and another to the helmsman. The cabins and state rooms are to be lighted with gas made on board, but at the rnaat head she is to carry an Eloctric Light, visible fifteen miles, and casting a moonlight radiance on the sea for half a mile around. For life boats, she is to cany a couple of screw steamboats, ninety feet long, and a small flee) of yawls and jolly boats. She is expected to go round tho world without being obliged to stop for coal.

Suohtis the Great JSastern," intended for the Pacific trade. It behooves our American ship-builders to look sharp, or they will be distanced by this last effort of John Bull.

The Itoissian Press.

The Russian press, which has acquired a certain importance latterly, from the appearance of several new monthly and weekly reviews, treatiug of economical as well as literary matters, is now discussing a very important question and from the very active part which the official press, and especially the Bee of the North, which may be considered as tho Russian Mom tour, takes in it, it is clear that the government is on the point of instituting some new regulations for the material development of the country. The subjeet under discussion is this— number of Russian economists, having several organs at their disposition, propose that Russia should devote herself exclusively to agriculture, abandoning commerce and manufactures, and even Ihe overland barter with China, of which Kiatka is the market, and which is very lucrative to Russian merchants. "To restrict ourselves to the cultivation 0/ the raw materials, and to suppress raanu&c tures," is the-device of this economical school, which is in direct opposition to modern theories. Tho "Bee of the North" maintains tho opposite views—it would have all branches of activity equally prosperous, and the progress of agriculture in no wise interfere with the devel opment of industry and commerce. The official journal exhibits a great liberality and intelligence in discussing the subject. To promote the material* development of Russia, it would cc*er the country with a network of railways, hold industrial and agricultural exhibitions at all points of the empire, and as far as possible, apply there its principles to which Western Europe owes all maternal prosporuj

The future is concealed—clouds and darkness hide it froia our view. We know not what a day may bring forth, nor what an hour wo know, however, that death is there—and after death the Judgment—and after the judgment tho issues thereof—-eternal life, or eternal death,

were in slippers, and

two or three ugly rings deformed her white and slender lingers, the nails of which were dyed with henna. Around her neck she wore a double row of pearls, from which hung

fin

amulet. Her skin

was very white and beautiful, the con

slant use of the dry vrpor bath having

reduced it to jv-fineness which I can only compare to a highly polished marble, and it looked as glossy and as cold. She was well pleased with the drawing I made, and on rising to go away she put on her yellow boots over the beautiful white foot and ankle which it was a sin to conccal then donning her cashmaek and cloak, she bade us adiou with a grace and elegance which few English ladies could equal. No wonder the Turks sigh for paradise, when they believe heaveu to be peopled with houris such as these uludijo's visit to Constantinople.

PREPARED BY

A. S. BURLEIGH & BRO.,

NEW ALBANY, LVD.

TRY ME BEFORE YOU CO.NDEMN MF..—Such is tho motto ol these Pills. A motto they carry foaricssly amid the many medicines of the present day.

IT IS WITH CONFIDENCE, that we say theso Tills are unexcelled as a meansofcure. 1 l:iv cleanse ihe Stom.ich, purify the blood, re-invigorate tb'^ perspirative organs and never leave the bowels costive, which cannot be said of most of tha medicine now offered to the puhlic. Tnoy penttrate the whole system, removing every obstruction, and yet they aro mild in llieir opentionp, unlike many other medicines, instead of nrostrn-ting,--thcy strengthen tho system ana assist Nature in the performance of its (unctions.

The testimony in their favor, given by men cf distinction from all parts of the country, is immense

The following from men of the highest standintr in our immediate vicinity, is respectfully submitted.

—one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages of every other. This has been attempted here, and with what success we would lespectfi'Hy submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious and irritating 'o the bowels. This is not. Many of them produce Bo much griping pain and revulsion in the system ns to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from them. These

#ny

and every case where a purgative is required. They have also produced some singularly successful cures ih Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel. Eysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Paiiis in the Back, Stomach, and Side. They should bo freely taken in the spring of the yeai to purify the blood and prepare the system for the change of sensons. An occasional dose stimulates tha stotnoch into healthy actionund restores the appeti'ex and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their 8Utnufant action on the circulatory systfm, renovate the strength of the body, and restore the wasted or diseased energies of tho whole organism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though nbssrious derangement exists but unnacessaiy dosing should never bo carried too far, so every purgative medhinc reduces the strength, when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which a physician is required cannot be enumerated ht-re,but they suggest themselves to the reason of every body and :t is confidently boiicrrd this pill will answer better purpose than any thing which has hitherto been available to mankind When their virtues are once known tho pub'jc will no longerdnubt whatrcmrdy to employ when in need of acarthartic medicine.
