"Oh, they are to be had for money. This is the first that was exhibited. Passing by the barber's shop just below the City Hotel, yesterday morning, I saw it in the window, and purchased it for the modest sum of two crowns. Before night another was exhibited, and bought by Cleaveland for three crowns; and this morning another copy appeared, which Selden bought for _five_. The rascal rises in his price at every repetition, and is in a fair way to make up for the loss at his benefit. There is another in the window now, and if we pass that way you may see it. Our object in buying them was to get them out of the way, for you cannot conceive how much annoyed Fenella is, at this vulgar representation of her figure. But as long as we buy, Mc---- will produce copies." "Come along. I will have some talk with this barber"--and we made our way to the shop, at the window of which, as Nichols had stated, the picture hung, while a crowd of idlers were stopping to laugh at this ridiculous effigy of a popular actress. We entered the shop and demanded the price of the caricature. "Ten dollars," was the reply. "Have you the audacity," said I, "to demand such a sum for a daub like this?" "I have." "And how do you rate its value so high?" "By the demand for it. I have not an article in my shop that commands so ready a sale. Those who buy know the intrinsic value of the picture better than I do. I only judge of it by the price which it will bring"--said the fellow with a roguish smile, which tempted me to knock him down. "Well," said I, "you have killed the golden goose this time, or I am mistaken. You shall not sell another of them if I can prevent it." "Oh I have no fear of that. The lady herself will buy them, rather than allow them to hang long in my window." "You are an impertinent varlet, and I trust will be chastised as you deserve." I should have said more; but Nichols hurried me away, lest my hot temper should get me into some awkward scrape--and we walked to Fenella's lodgings. What happened there and afterwards, must be deferred to another chapter, when the reader shall be introduced into the watchhouse, and his curiosity gratified in regard to my sojourn there. For the Southern Literary Messenger. DISSERTATION On the Characteristic Differences between the Sexes. NO. II. _Religious Differences_. In no respect do we find the characteristical differences between the sexes more marked than in regard to religion; and certainly, we see woman in no attitude more engaging, more interesting or useful, than in the quiet, but graceful performance of her duties to her Maker.
