Ciino'ino iu Rhyme,
Bv tub Printer’* Dcvii..—A Ron
or the Oi.n Man.—A lady with a crin
oline was walking down the street, her
feathers fluttered in air, her hoops stuck
out a leet, She walked the eaith as il
she fell of it site was no part, and proudly
did she step along, for pride was in her
heart. Site did not see a curly dog which
walked close by her side, all save Ihe
busby tail of which Iter crinoline did hide.
His tail the dog with pleasure shook it
fluttered in the wind, and Iroin She lady's
crinoline stuck out a foot behind. A
crowd the tail soon did espy, as it waved
to and fro, and like a rudder seemed to
point which way the maid should go
The cuily dog right phased was he such
quarters he had got, and waked beside
the lady m a kind of doggish trot. Each
*'**p the lady now did lake, served to in
nease her train, while those who follow
ed tt> her wake roared out with might and
main. Some held their side* and laugh
ed so hard, and many foiily ctied, and
tnnny even still confess, that d*y they’d
•‘like to died.” But still the lady sailed
along m crinoline and pride, unmindful
of the crowd he-hind, or dog close by her
*'de. But another d.>g espied the ta I
wtnch fluttered free—it so provoked his
dogfi-h ire he could not let it be—but
with a deep ferocious growl, for battle
straight be wedt, and ’neath Ihe lady’s
rnnr-li n both dogs were quickly pent.
J hey fought his said one hour or more
ihe lady nothing knew—but with her
head erect sailed on, and did her way
pursue. Some say she never would have
known at all abuut the fight, had not one
dog mistook and give her ‘-limb’’ an aw
iul bite. But since that day I’ve heard it
• <id, the lady ne'er was seen upon the
•treet, with so much pride—and such a
Crinoline.
The Growth or Texas—The Gal
vestoa Civilian says that every steamship
horn New Orleans, arriving at Galveston
i* crowded with emigrants, including
many slaves. It further says tiiat the
statistics ol the State as compiled by the
Stale Gazette show that they are enti
tied to five, instead of two representatives
ui Congress.

Dear Corinne— Still here, partly be
cause 1 could enjoy myself here a month
or more, and partly because I wanted
something I could not get till to-day. I;
will leave in the morning fur Niagara,
and hope at that place to get at least a
j line penned by a fair hand, that 1 hope
some day to call my own.
Yesterday (Sunday) was a beautiful
day, and though the side walks were
crowded all day, and carriages were con
stantly rattling along, Bioailway seemed
almost as quiet to me as one of our little !
villages, the contrast was so great from ,
I tho other days since I have been here.---;
jNo bucks run on the Sabbath. I find;
New York a much cleaner and prettier J
city than I expected to. The principal ’
streets are kept us neat as a pin. Mayor
Wood has made a great ckauge in affairs
since he went into office.
I have been attending Theatres and I
Operas every night since I have been i
here, and strange us it may seem, am ve
ry much pleased with operatic music.—!
Went to the Crystal Palace yesterday, I
tin fact, have been there twice,) and
found a great deal of the Statuary, paint
ings, &e., still on band. Ttvoukl take a
week to examine all the articles as close
ly as I could wish. Tharwalden’s “Christ
and his Apostles’’ iso great work, and
one that makes a vivid impression on my
mind. I wish you coulJ see it. The
“Amazon attacked by a Tiger,” in
bronze, is the finest thing of the kind 1
oversaw, very true to nature. Washing
ton, in the same style, is, 1 think, hardly
equal to it. The “Three Graces,” by I
don't know who, attacted my attention.
I huve just eaten my lunch, and feel
rather dull. We had for lunch, roll",
light bread, the nicest butter, crackers,
cheese, tongue, corned beef, roast beef,
! (cold or corned,) radishes, oysters, cho
colate, nnd pastry of all kinds that cau
be eaten cold.
I am getting qnite fashionable —eat
my breakfast from 10 to 12 o'clock, lunch
at 2, dine at 5, tea at 8, and supper at
12 P. M. Sit at the dinner table from
one to two hours, eat English Peas (oh
how nice they are, too,) grueefuliy with
my fork, and cut up a variety of didos,
quite too numerous to mention wi h pro
per discretion and great caution. En
closed in a Bill of Fare for dinner yester
day, nothing better than usual, which you
can cat through iu imagination, smack
your lips, nnd think of mu.
Went to Barnutn’s this morning ; quite |
a variety of curiosities, and no mistake, if
he is a humbug. Saw Barnum ; lie looks
rather care-worn.
Did not go to preaching yesterday.—
Intended going to night—walked a mile
and a halt down Broadway to Trinity
chuich, and found that there was no
preaching ; tlieu I walked about 2 miles
up to Grace church—no preaching. Saw
some steeples, and went to three more
churches, but found none of them lighted.
Just think of a man in this city, on Sun
day night, wanting to hear a settnon aud
being unable to do it. Battery fine, Park s
and Gardens, of which there are quite a
number, some of them beautiful at night,
with gas lamps all about among the trees;
walks laid with granite winding about iu
every direction, grass plats, fountains,
(lowers, moonshine and love.
Here I will take a nap. And while I
am sleeping, this scrawl will be on its way
to you with a warm pressure of the hand,
and two kisses enclosed—to secure which
you must very carefully open the pack
age
Oh! I forgot to toll you that I ran
about a mile to see a fire yesterday—
’twas in a dirty street, near the water—
four or five old wooden buildings were
burnt up before the firemen could stop the
flames.
Good-bye, Good-bye, my dearest.

Extraordinary L ngu rg®.
The morning after Mr. Brooks’ death,
two of the morning papers of Boston,
headed their tclegrapie dispatches with
“ Avenging Visitations of Providence;”
“Preston S Brooks strangled to death.”
The di-putches contained the following,
paragraphs :
Considerable excitement was produced
by this vi itntion of Providence.
His personal friends seem smitten,

hotels come to the general couclusior I
that the wrath of man is avenged iu tnn. ’

There are numerous knots of people in M
ouch of the hotels, lulaiug about the deatlqf
of Brooks.
He died a horrid death and suffered in

open to get breath- t
It is rumored here to-nigbt that Mr. j
Sumner left Boston to-day. This report, I
with the fact of Mr. Buchanan s arrival
here to day, and Brook*’ death, gives food I
to the superstitious 1
Winn we consider that many of that
purest men who ever lived have been cut 1
down in a moment, says the Boston II- r- ]

that Washington, himself was stricken]
in a manner similar to Mr, Brooks, and!
was cut oft quite ns suddenly, when Vel
consider that sudden deaths are mutters!
of daily record, and that “God is no
respecter persons,” language like that
quoted above is most extraordinary, if
not absolutely fiendish. It is carrying
animosity beyond the grave.
