Where this Plaster is applied, Pain cannot exist. It has been beneficial in cases of weakness, such as Pain and Weak ness in the Stomach, Weak Limbs, Lameness, Affection o the Spine, Female Weakness, &c. No female, subject to pain or weakness in the back or sides, should be without it Married ladies, in delicate situations, find great relief from constantly wearing the Plaster. The application of the Plaster between the shoulders has been found a certain remedy for Colds, Coughs, Phthisic, and Affec tion of the Lungs in their primary stages. It destroys inflama tion by perspiration. The following commendation is from an agent residing at Trenton, Tenn.: Trkstok, Gibscn Cos. Tenn. Nov. 7, ’49. Messrs. Scovii. A Mead —Gentlemen : The Hebrew Plaster is becoming popular in this section. There is a lady in this county who says she would not be without the Plaster for five hundred dollars a year. She was afflicted for some time with an enlargement of the spleen, which gave her great pain. The swellin** and pain had extended up nearly to the armpit, and occasionally she could hardly breathe. She was eonfined for a considerable time, during which she was attended by some of I our best physicians, hut they pave no relief. She procured a j box of the Hebrew Plaster, and it relieved her almost immediate ly, and now she keeps a supply of it on hand constantly.— These facts you arc at liberty to use as you think proper—they are substantially true. Respectfully, vours, Sec., JESSE J. WELLS. Beware of Cou?iterfeits and Base Imitations! Cautio*. —The subscribers are the only general agents in the Southern States for the sale of this truly valuable Plaster ; and in order to prevent purchasers being imposed upon by a counter feit article, sold in this city and elsewhere, for the genuine, they invite particular attention to. the follow ing marks of the genu ine : 1.

An Irish Christmas Song. L. FW. Andrews. Esq —Sir : —lf you think the accompanying; humorous and Irish lines , descriptive of an Irish Christmas in Irish times , and among regular , hospitable . generous philanthropic , Irishmen ol any use,you may send them out as things to evoke the thoughts of auld times in the hearts of my expatria ted iitxulvT-hearted I risk-countrymen. It is no slight fanciful sketch I give. Such things are true and were to be met with in the good days that are gone. Now Paddy loved whiskey, and Judy loved tay, And Mickey loved blue frieze, while Patsy loved grey; Dear Ivatty loved poplin, and Biddy loved silk, Teddy loved butter, and Pethereen milk, VV hile Shemes loved well a very good dish Os fine juicy Salmon, a rare and dear dish ; And Roger, the villain, and Tim the spalpeen Instead of hot porridge, loved scalding Scaltheen ; And it they would have, if they could without fail. F- r they swore it was “sthrongcr nor any oat-male.’’ And when auld Christmas came to them all once a year They were jumping for joy, on account of its cheer ; And believe me my friends we’er all jumping for joy To call in their neighbors to help to destroy— All the good things, while the poor were remembeied [and also the Priest, For he got his dues, half a sovereign at least! It was pleasant to see them around the great fire, While the Christmns-Candle their hearts did inspire W ilh thanks unto God for the blessings he sent, And for safety from trials w hich they underwent. 1 hey talked of the absent . as well as the dead. Tiny spoke of the latter with Jecling and dread. The ovens were smoking, the spit was going round, Lite w hiskey and biscuits in plenty were found ! Die table was decked out, and grace was soon said There were ‘ lashins’ of meat, butter, cheese, eggs and [bread ; There was plenty of coffee, and oceans of tay With noggins of whiskey and nothing to pay! There was caed mille faiths upon every door For friends, Turks or Haythens , for rieli or for poor. Tl ie old man was all pleasure, the good woman all mirth While the young were like cherubs encirclingthe hearth, All tidy and nale in their handsome new clothes, M bile Katty and Biddy were quizzing their beaus— Wirra sthrue that the times should be banished and [gone, When happiness dwelt with Pat Tlogan and con, And wi h Jemmy McCarty and Owen Mcßride, And Dennis McMahan, Patt Cary, Mick Floyd, W itli Teddy Delany, Mick Bryan and Pat Keefe, \nd black jack McCormick, and Bindan the Chief Os the Peelers, and Arthur McFarhme, and Ned O’Doimuglie, w ho sold both salt sodgers and bread ! ‘V’hen fiddlin and pi pin, and dancing and songs With laughing and praying and all at Jim Long’s, With a good jolly row, and a sore head or two M ith a goose and some bacon to make lrish-stew ; Were smelt'd, seen and tasted, by every fire-side, Wan enough of hot punch, and the eraytbur beside! With lashins and lavins of all that was good, To gladden the heart, or to warm up the blood “, When the Wren-boys were dress'd out, with ribbon [so note , \ fid with pipers and fiddlers all entered ilie gate Os Sir Hugh, or Lord William, and danced round the [door, \nd bowed to Lord George and Lady Ellen you're [shure, \nd smiled so delightful, and bowed so genteel That Jim Flint) nearly broke Peg Day’s shins with his [heels! They all got some money for carrying the wren, Especially Captains McLaughlin and Flinn ; The day was thus spent, and the money was shewn To all the boys round, then came drinking Ochout ! Such fun, fuss, and frolick, and light-hearted glee, Tim Delaney ne’er sow since he left Jimmy Shea, For the times are all changed, shure from better to worse And where pleasant ones prayed, there now dwells a [curse, Where fun and the blarney and good nature was found There is nothing remaining exceptin’ the ground ; For the hearts that were merry and the heels that [were light, Are all dead and laid in the auld church-yard to-night, Or gone far away from the scenes of their mirth, While woe, want and ruin are seen round the hearth : Which oneo blazed with comfort, with joy and delight. For all who would call on an auld Christmas night. All! then pace to auld times to auld men and their [wives, And the youngsters who lived in their happy old hives; For many a night, full of joy, mirth and fun, Have 1 had drinking punch with uncle Jim or his son ! Or eoorting the colleehn*. or vexing the boys, • Or hearing auld stories and making of noise; Or Liking the Bridange. or carrying the wren, Or howling, or leaping, or hunting with men, Whose hearts were all pleasure, whose friendship was [dear, Who’d a blow for the bad inan, for the good one a tear. Whose frames were all action, and strength, such as [now. Seems fled with the joy that once smoothed each brow. And never again some of whom I will sec, For they're roving or thinking perhaps much like me, Peace be with them wherever they be, For they’re dear to my heart and to my memory, And never again will I see upon earth, Such a Christinas as one in the land of iny birih. Yours, respectfully, J. L O. TI., of Old Times. Home. When the streamlets are flowing, Or the water falls pour, When the soft breeze is blowing, Or when the tempest doth roar, Oil! how fresh in my memory Is the moss-covered hill, Where in childhood I wandered By the light, dashing rill. Wl ten the dark shades of evening Shed around me their gloom, And the cold winds tire moaning O’er the stranger's lone tomb, Oh ! how sweet to my fancy Is the willow that weeps, As H hangs o’er the green turf Where my dear brother sleeps. When my heart faints within me, Or the lieree passions rise, When the cold world is frowning And my last coinfort dies, Oil! how soothing the thought is Os a mother’s sweet lay, As in childhood she charmed me On my light, thoughtless way. When the chill of life's closing Hovers cold round my heart, W hen the church-bell’s deep tolling Bids my spirit depart. Then. Oh. then may my pillow Be that long cherished vale Where my brother is sleeping, And tlie turtle doves wail. Aew and Beautiful Poem. BY JAMKS NACK, The following is a Poem of singular beauty. The very How of the ryihm answers Milton’s description of music. The ‘Little Friend, whoever she may be, is to be envied her principle of being a ministering angel to ouu of the best hearts and gifted of minds, and she will not lose her reward ; for, as Miss London remarks, ‘.V poeis love is immortality and a poem like this is of itself sufficient to insure it to the subject that inspired it.— Home Journal. Why do I Love her so. A weary life is mine at best— Few pleasures mine that others share— And oft by lonely thoughts opprest, It seems that I might well despair \ But w hen my ‘Little Friend’ 1 we, A pleasant tiling is life to me ! To know that she is at my side, To hold her little hand in mine. To watch her eyes that fondly shine, Iler cherub lace, Ih t brightens up With love’s intelligence divine— With this my soul is satisfied, And drains a pure, refreshing eup Os culm and quiet happiness ; In sweet content 1 then repose From sorrow's pangs, and passion's throes, Without a wish save not a stir From one whose very look can bless ! Some wonder what ltind iu her My heart so strongly to impress— A clever child, they must confess, But nothing more, for all they see, Thau other children of her age, Who scarce one thought of mine engage ; Whence cometli then the witchery That sways me in her sweet control ? Save 1, may ever know her worth ; For we have spoken soul to soul, And met in spirit face to face, When all her mind's immortal grace. Love, truth and goodness, shone revealed In beauty from the world concealed, ’Twas iu an hour of bitter pain, When the long agony of years Was crowded in a moment’s space — When friends seemed false and love was vain— And the wrung heart and burning brain Could only find relief in tears— For 1 despaired of earthly good— She came—l source knew whence or how— A light and glory round her brow ; Sublimely beautiful she stood ; For all of earth had left her face, And all of heaven 1 there might trace, Her look sustained my heart and cheered; iler wolds my wounded spirit healed; The child, the mortal, disappeared. And God s own angel stood revealed ? Then did we soul with soul combine- So, 1 am beie, and she is mine— Forever hers! lon ver mine? Forth in the world I .ee her go, A common child to ehjitmon eyes— 'Jo mine, a star of llrudise. / Uneaitbiy, beautiful, <*vine ! No wonder that 1 love her so. J.Uis..l]l!)! ; y, from the Boston o eddy Museum. Ball room Acquaintances. Mr. Horny A*.nigletoii is it young gentleman of agieeablo man tuns, good looks, and übunti* liable hell-conceit j distinguished tor his gallan tiy, black u lnskeis, and ui istoc:atic aspirations. It is well to have a good opinion of one's self; but there is aceitainsoit of pride which ren deisits possessoi contemptible. It is teat pride widen makes you blush to be seen in the stieet with tbe noblest, best hearted fellow iu the woild, because lie limy happen to weai a seedy looking coat or a hat of last year’s fashion. With tins sort ot jnide Mr. Hairy Lb ingle ton was severely afflicted, lie sought to tank with tne most genteel, with tne acknowledged aiistociatsot society. He aimed high, and on one occasion he shot eousidei ably wide of his nun k. This is the way of it— Mi'. Hany was at a ball; a rather recherche aftair, ot course. Mi. liar y never patronized your oidinary assemblies, one is so apt to meet \ulgai people in such places, that is, people who wotk tor a living,shop-keepers and shop-keep er's daughter. He was at a ball. Magnificently had he flamed, and muumeiable hea.tshad lie broken, in the course of a few houis. Yet Mr. Harry was dissatisfied. lie observed that few—mar vellously few ot the elite were present. Had he made a conquest, at which one of such lofty as pirations might feel g atified? Ah, no! ile sighed, like Alexander, for au object worthy of his piowess. ‘Who was that young lady you waltzed with last i’ asked a sleek dandy. *1 decline 1 have forgotten her name, and really, 1 think 1 neglected to write it down,’re plied Mr. Hany. ‘1 thought she couldn't be very fashionable; I nevei met her before.’ ‘VVliy,’ cied a genteel fellow, with a glossy moustache, who bad heaid the question and re ply ; ‘that is Miss JJu tlett, daughter of William H. Bartlett. Dein genteel people. I know’em. That’s Eliza, the prettiest of three daughters,’ •Ah !’ exclaimed Mr. Harry,'she is pretty. I wassuie she was none of the crowd, though 1 never had met her before.’ Mr. Harry gazed with admiration at the charming young lady, who to speak tbe tiuth had not appeared to him remarkably beautiful before. A Barlett! What a conquest! For Mr. Harry was su.e the giil was smitten with him. ‘1 must cultivate her acquaintance,’ thought he. During the remainder of the evening, he de voted himself exclusively to Miss Bartlett, who received his attentions graciously. Perhaps you imagine Mr. Harry forgot the poor girl whose heart he thus deliberately la bored to win. Not he! He had promised to call on Miss Eliza, and he remembered his en gagement: w ith a heart swelling with gratified [aide and lotty aspirations, he went to the ad cLess liis charmer gave him, and approached the door, on which the dear name ‘Bartlett’ shone engraved in silver. Mr. Harry was shown into the parlor. He had inquiied for Miss Eliza, but Mrs. Bartlett herself appeared. She was a fine looking old lady, with an intelligent eye, which'scanned Mr. Harry’s features curiously. ‘Did you wish to see Eliza ?’ she asked. Mr. Harry replied affirmatively. ‘lndeed,’said she, ‘I think threinu*t be some mistake, sir. Perhaps it is Jane, or Mary, you wish to see V ‘Oh ,no; Miss Eliza,’ rejoined Mr. Harry. ‘I must ask, then, why you w ish to see her,’ pursued Mrs. Bartlett, mildly. Hairy blushed violently, perceiving which she added quickly: ‘For Eliza is still so young, that lain sure you can have nothing to say to her which you would not communicate to me.’ *\ outig/’ echoed Harry, confused. N\ hy, she is only nine years old you know.’ Harry was confounded; but remembering that he had the name of his charmer only on the authority of Dick Stevens, he hesitated to explain inatteis. ‘lt must be one of her sisters, then I met at— Hall, two nights ago.’ ‘llieie must still be some mistake,’ replied Mrs. Bartlett. ‘Neither of my daughters have been to Hull this winter.’ > ‘I thin Ic lam not mistaken. This is the ad dress she gave me,’ said Harry, firmly. Oh !’ cried the old lady, ‘you mean our nur sery maid ! She was at Hall two nights ago, and she said she expected a young gentle man to call oil her.’ ‘Nurserymaid!’ echoed Harry, indignantly, ‘I don’t know any nursery maid !’ ‘Oh, it is her you wish to see!’ replied the old lady, good humoredly. She said you called her Miss Bai tlett, but she didn’t mind, as a great many call her so, she has lived with us so long. ‘I will speak to her.’ ‘No—no—l beg—don't trouble yourself,’ re monstrated Harry, nervously. ‘I was mistaken. I—l beg your pardon. Good day ma'am.’ Harry left; but the aftair got out and to this daj;, he has not done blushing when ‘genteel ball- room acquaintances are mentioned. The Lord sent it if the Devil brought it. In my younger days, I was what people called a “wild-chap,” and 1 rather think I was some thing of a high boy. Anything like fun stirred me up from the bottom, and the way I “went it’’ sometimes, when I was stirred up, people said was rather curious. 1 believe my respect for religious people was not quite as high as it should have been, not so high as it is now. This grew out of two things, a detective education and thoughtlessness. Ten or titteen years added to my mortal life has so bered me somewhat,and at the present writing, I own to a profound respect for religion. I state this, that neither the gay nor thoughtful reader may understand me if the story I am going to relate should seem to deal with some levity in matters held sacred—l think the rebuke 1 got, often as I have laughed at it since, put the laugh completely on me and my companion. 1 here resided incur neighborhood a poor widow whose means of support were extremely limited- Between nursing herself for rheuma tism, and spinning and knitting, most of her lonely time was passed. lam ashamed to say that on one or two occasions, 1 joined some wild youngsters in playing oil’ tricks upon her, such as making unusual noises about the house at night, smoking her almost to death by putting a board over the top of her low mud-built chimney, and such like doings, that we thought rare sport, blit for which we deserved a little w holesome chastisement, if there had been any one authorized to administer it. One night, soon after dark, it happened that I was returning home in company with a merry fellow about me ow n age and had to go by old Granny Benders’s cottage. I had been info the tow n and was bringing home a couple of‘ba ker s loaves,’of w hich some of our people were as fond as city people are of getting now and then a good taste of country ‘home made.’ ‘lorn,’ said I, as the old woman’s cottage came in sigh:, at a turn of the road, ‘suppose we have a little fun with Granny Bender?’ ‘Agreed’ was Tom's reply, for he was always ready for sport. V’ e had not fully decided on what we would do, w hen we came to the cottage and paused to settle our mode of annoyance. The only light within, was the dim flickering of a few small sticks burning on the hearth. As we stood near the window, listening to what was going on inside, we found that Granny was praying, and, a little to our suprise, asking for food. ‘As she expects to get bread from heaven,’ said I, irreverently,‘l suppose she will have to be accommodated.’ And turning from the window, I clambered up noiselessly, to the top of the chimney, a feat of no great difficulty, and tumbled my two loaves down. When I reached the window again, in order to see what effect this mode of supply would have upon Granny Bender I found the good old creature on her knees, pi ously thanking God for having answered her pi- yer. ‘That’s cool,’ says I to Tom ; ‘now isnt it ?’ ‘I rather think it is,’ replied Tom. ‘And is the old woman really sucli a fool as to think the Lord answered her prayer, and sent her well-baked loaves down the chimney ?’ ‘No doubt of it.’ ‘lt won't do to let her labor under this mis take ; no, never in the world,’ said I. ‘Hello! Granny!’ and I drew open the win dow, and pushed my laughing face into the room. She had just risen from her knees, and was about putting a piece of the bread into her mouth. ‘Now. Granny Bender,’ said I, ‘it isn’t possible that you believe that bread came from heaven! W by, you old sinner you ! I threw it down the chimney By this time the old woman’s countenance was turned fully towards me, and by the dim light of the feeble fire, I could see that there were tears of thankfulness upon her faded and withered face. The expression of that face did not in the least change, there was a deep rebuke in the tone of her voice, as well as in the words she uttc-red, as she said : ‘The Lord sent it, if the devil brought it.’ You maybe sure that I vanished instanter, while Tom clapped his hands and shouted. ‘Good ! good ! too good ! Oh dear, but the old lady was too much for you that time.’ I tried to laugh with him as we went off’ home, and di(J laugh, as loud as he did, but somehow or other the laugh did not appear to do me any good. After that I left Granny Bender alone. Advice to the Girls.— Dr. Beeswax, in his ad mirable ’.Essay on Domestic Economy,’ talks to the young ladies after this fashion :— 1 Girls, do you want to get married, and do you want good husbands ? II so, cease to act like fools. Don't take pride in saying you never did house work—never cooked a pair of chickens —never made a bed, and so on. Don’t turn up your pretty noses at honest industry—never tell vur friend that yotf are not obliged to work. When you go shopping, never take your mother with vou, to carry the bundle. Don tbe afraid to be seen in the kitchen cooking a steak, or over the wash tub, cleansing the family dads,’ Don’t Become Rich Again. BY MRS. SIGOCRNKY. ‘l’ve lost my whole fortune,’ said a merchant, as lie returned one evening to his home; ‘we can no longer keep our carriage. We must leave this large house. The children can no longer go to expensive schools. Yesterday I was a rich man. To-day there is nothing that l can call my own.’ ‘Dear husband,’ said the wife, ‘we are still rich in each other and our children. Money may pass away, but God has given us a better treasure in these active hands and loving hearts.’ ‘Dear father,’ t>aid the children, ‘do not look so sad. We will help yon to get a living.’ ‘ W hat can you do, poor things,’ said he. ‘Nou shall see, you shall see,’ answered sev* eral voices. ‘lt is a pity if we have been sent to school for nothing. IJow can the father of eight children be poor ? We shall work and make you rich again.’ ‘1 shall help you,’ said the youngest girl, scarcely four years old. ‘I will not have any more new things bought, and I shall sell my great doll.’ The heart of the husband and father, which had sunk within him as a stone, was lifted up. The sweet enthusiasm of the scene cheered him, and his nightly prayer was a song of praise. They left their stately house. Their servants were dismissed. Pictures and plate, carpets and furniture were sold, and she who had so long been mistress of the mansion shed no tear. ‘Pay every debt,’ said she, ‘let no one suffer through us, and we shall yet be happy.’ He rented a neat cottage and a smalf piece of ground a few miles from the city. With the aid of his sons he cultivated vegetables for the market. He viewed with delight and astonish ment the economy of his wife, nurtured as she had been in wealth, and tbe efficiency which his daughters soon acquired under her training. Tlie eldest assisted her in the work of the household, and also assisted the younger chil dren. Besides they executed various works, which they had learned as accomplishments, j which they found could be disposed of to ad- j vantage. They embroidered with taste some of the ornamental parts of female apparel, which they readily sold to a merchant in tlie citv. They cultivated flowers, and sent boquets to market in the cart which contained the vegeta bles; they plaited straw ; they painted maps; they executed plain needle work. Every one was at her post, busy and cheerful. The cot tage was like a beehive. ‘I never enjoyed such health before, said the father. ‘And I never knew how many things we coulJ do when we lived in tlie great house,’ said tbe children, ‘and we love each other a great deal j better here ; you call us your little bees.’ ‘Yes,’ replied the father, ‘and you make just such honey as the heart loves to feed on.’ Economy, as well as industry, was strictly ob served ; nothing was wasted; nothing unne cessary was purchased. The eldest daughter became assistant teacher in a distinguished fe male seminary, and the second took her place as instructress to the family. ‘lhe little dwelling that had always been kept neat, they were soon able to beautify. Its con struction was improved ; vines k flowering trees were planted around it. The merchant was happier under his woodbine-covered porch in the summer’s evening, than he.had been in his showy drawing room. ‘We are now thriving and prosperous,’ said I he ; ‘shall we now return to the citv ?’ ‘O, no, no,’ was the unanimous reply. ‘Let us remain,’ said the wife, ‘where we have found health and contentment.’ ‘Father,’ said the youngest, ‘all we children hope you are not going to be rich again; for then, she added, ‘we little ones were shut up in tbe nursery, and we did not see much ofyou or mother. Now we all live together, and sis ter, who loves us, teaches us, and we learn to be industrious and useful. We were rich and did not work. So, father, please not to be rich any more.’ ‘My Mother Never Lies.’— A few ladies met at the house of a friend for an evening visit, when the following scenes and conversation occti red: The child of one of the ladies, about five years old, was guilty ot rude, noisy conduct, ve ry improper on all occasions, and particularly so at a stranger’s bouse. The mother kindly reproved her. ‘Sarah, you must not do so.’ The child soou forgot the reproof, and became tis noisy as ever. The mother firmly said ; ‘Sarah, if you do so again, I will punish )’ou.’ But not long after, Sarah did so again. When the company were about to separate, the moth er stepped into a neighbor's intending to return for her child. During the absence, the thought of going home recalled to the mind of Sarah the punishment she might expect. The recol lection turned her rudeness and thoughtless ness into sorrow. A young lady present ob serving it, and learning the cause, in order to pacify her, said : ‘Never mind, I will ask your mother not to whip you.’ •Qli,’ said Sarah, ‘that will do no good—my mother never tells a lie.’ It is worth everything in she training of a child to make it feel that its mother never tells a lie. tmnsmm — ——— A Good Reason.— A country pedagogoge, says the Boston Carpet Bag, had two pupils, to one of whom he was very partial, and to the other very severe. One morning it happened that these two were lateand were called up to account for it. “You must have heard the bell, boys; why did you not come!"’ “Please sir, ’ said the favorite, “I was a dreamin’ that I was goin’ to Californy, and I thought the school be!l was the steamboat bell as l was goin’ in.” “Very well, sir,” said the master, (glad of any pretext to excuse. h ; s favorite.) “and u<-\\ sir. (turning lo the other,) what have you to say ?” “Please sir,” said the puzz'ed boy, “I ! I \ was a waitin’ to see Pom off ?” Falsehood could do little mischief, if it did not gain the credit of truth. Uncharitable persons are generally more un thinkingly than perversely so. It you can get a man’s ihoughts to entertain what is right, you may trust him io do what is I right if ho has a right principle. ” ife.— The word wife does not, in our opinion, sim ply mean, as \Y alker has it, ‘a woman that has a hus band,’ for some tvomeu have husbands, and good ones, too, who are not wives, according to our understanding of the term. V\ ife docs not mean a woman; nor n lady only, nor a slave, nor a mistress, a mother, nor a nurse, a teacher, nor a companion, a tool, nor a play tliing, but she is all these united together, per my et per tout, in one beautiful and harmonious whole. In society she is a woman, in the parlor a lady, in the nursery a slave, in the dining-room a mistress, in her chamber a mother, in the sick-room a nurse, to her children a teacher, to her husband a companion and an equal: but iu no situation whatever can she be politician, a preacher, a lawyer, physician or philosopher, without becoming a literary blue-stocking, the antipodes of j w,fe ’ an,i ‘he contemptible being on earth. I The office of a wife, therefore is the happiest, yet most laborious, the highest, yet most humble position that frail mortality can occupy. Nor is there any sta .ion on ear;h to which the'Lord of creation,’ can as pire, the duties of which are more responsible, and the faithful or imperfect discharge of wliioh will bo reward ed with more intensity, than those of the wife, which we believe to be one of the consequences of a violation of the high trusts committed to the first wife in ths garden of Eden, that she should bo ‘an help meet to Adam.’ To society she is an indispensable member. To ths parlor the most important personage, in the nursery the most abject slave, in the dining-room the moss absolute sovereign, in her chamber a guardian angel, in the sick room the best physician, to her children the wisest priest, and to her husband the most valuable agent, the dearest and cheapest counsellor, the most loved and loving companion, in a word, ‘the wife of home’ is every blessing the mortal miud can conceive or heart desire. Home without a wife is a ‘straDge land’—a head without brains, a heart without a con science, a ship without sails, an ocean without wave*, a world without religion, a Heaven without a God ! Wowis out or Doors.—Tho editor of Harper’s Magazine very judiciously expands a suggestion con tained in one of Mr. Greeley’s letters from England : Our eyes have just now fallen upon a passage in Mr. Greeley’s last letter from Euro,*, in which he speaks of the appearance of the English womeD, and commends, with a little more than his usual ardor of expression, their perfection of figure. He attributes this, and very justly, to the English lady’s habit ofout- exercise. We had thought that this faet was known ; that it was known years ago and that our fair countrywomen would catch a hint from it, that would throw color into their cheeks, and fullness into their forms. And yet, sadly enough, our ladies still coop themselves in their heated rooms, until thew faces ar like lilies, and their figures—like lily stems. M e have alluded to the matter now, notfof the sake of pointing a satire surely, hut for the sake of asking one or two huudred thousand ladies, who every n oinh light our pages with their looks, if they do in deed prize a little unnatural pearliness of hue and deli cacy of complexion, beyond that ruddy flush of health, the very temper of a kiss’ and that full development j *'g ure , w hich all the poets, from Homer down, have made one of the cliiefest beauties of a woman ? If not, let them make of themselves horsewomen ; or bating that, let them make acquaintance with the sun rise ; let them pick flowers with the dew upon them ; let them study music of nature's own orchestra. Vul garity is not essential to health ; and a lithe, elastio figure docs not grow in hot-houses. For ourselves, wo incline heartily to the belief that, if American wo men have a wish to add to the respect, the admiration, the love, and—if need be, the fear of the men, they will find an easier road toward that gain, in a little vigo rous out-of-door exercise and a uniform attention to tho great essentials of health, than in any new-fangled *o tunies, or loudly-applauded ‘rights.’ Different Views of the Bloomercostame. Delivered without prejudice to the real merit• of the question. * on 1 a lady’s dress of the present day take so many lengths to make up, according to the taste of the wearer ? but, with the Bloomer costume, I should be sorry to say to what lengths the lady, who wears it, might feel in clined to go to!’ An Indignant Milliner. ‘ Should the Bloomer costume be adopted, petticoats will go out,and petticoats going out, there may be an end, at last, to all petticoat government! of which no one will be more heartily rejoiced.'— The Hen-pecked Husband. ‘ Er ’ s j<% good health of the Bloomer costume ! For 1 tell you what, Bill, our ’bus, with all the shaking in the world, won’t carry no more than sixteen ladies, pack ’em as tight as you will, but I find that it will take twenty Bloomers comfortably, and allow each on ’em a Bloomer baby on the lap! Its thedress, mr boy, vot makes the difference.’— The ‘bus Con ductor. ‘Oh, dear! how delightful it will be for the jumping over the stiles.'— The Fast Tottny Lady. ‘l’m in favor of the new costume; because, if my wife bothers me for anew dress, I shall refer her to the tailor, and I can make out a tailor s bill, aud I know all the prices; whereas, I defy any man to understand the milliner's.* The Mean Husband. ‘This new dress will take all opposition off the road—for, really, the long dresses of the ladies swept everything so clean, that there was nothing left for us to clear away after them. In short, I look upon the Bloomer as the very best friend to the broomer.-r-2%e Street Or derly. ‘1 don’t care bow my girls dress, as long as they dress decently; but I am sure, as sure as quarter-day—that they will hang on to the skirts of this new Bloomer costume—that is to say, if it has any skirts, if it is only for the 6akc ot getting anew dress; fori never knew any girl of mine let anew dress slip through her fingers whenever 9he had a chance of getting one.— The Good-natured Papa. A Pretty Polka. —We have observed two polkas, composed by the same gentleman, ad vertised—the ‘Clipper,’ and the ‘Bloomer. 1 Con sidering the operation of Bloomerism on petti coats, may we notask whether those two words do not mean the same thing ? Rev. Henry *\ ard Beecher uses ‘great plain ness of speech,’ in alluding to the proneness of the pub lic to lavish large sums of money on popular amuse ments. In a recent lecture he says ; ‘Men love to be taxed for their lusts; there is an. open exchequer for liocntwasoc— aud for giddy plea sure. We grow suddenly suing, w hen benevolence asks alms, or justice duns for debts. We dote a pit tance to suppliant creditors, to be rid of their clamor; but let the divine Fanny, wipt evolutions extremely ef ficacious upon the feelings, fife the enthusiasm of a whole theater of men, whose applause rjse. as she does; let this courageous dancer, almost literally true to na ture, and splay her adventurou- feats before a thousand men. and the very miser will turn spunltlirilt; the land which will not pay its honest creditors, will enrich a strolling danscusc. and rain down upon the ‘-t-ige a stream of golden boxes, or golden coin, wreaths rosy bWet dettx.’ NO. 40
