(Dur tfossip Column. Queer Etymologies. A clever old French writer, named Menage, who it seems was a sort oUbook-worm and literary antique ry. once undertook to investi gate the origin ot die word peruke. He gravely gave to the world the following as the result of his inquiry : Pilus signifies hair in the Latin, arid, by various progressive mutations, the word thus reached peruke: pilus, pelus, pelutus, pe luticus, pelutika, peruke. In imitation of, and with the intention of ridi culing this etymological feat, Prof. Poison, an English scholar and wit. thus traced the word cucumber to Jeremiah King: Jeremiah King, Jeremy King, Jerry King, Jerking, Geikin, cucumber. Sycophant comes strangely enough from the two Greek words gukon, a fig and phaino, to show. A sycophant tlien was a fig-exhibitor. Ihe wold is said to have attained its present signification in this way: It was forbidden by law to export figs from Athens. Man, how ever, has always been a smuggling animal, and as the Athenians did not like the restrictive en actment in question, they were apt now and then to try to evade it in a quiet way. But wherever smugglers are, there will be found in formers also, and accordingly the poor fig-ex porters were sometimes caught. The only re ve.ig'i they could take was to fix on these in formers t!u‘ title of sycophants, or fig-showers, in a contemptuous setn-e, and by and by the word was applied to denote all contemptible tale-bearers and flatterers whatever. * Pantaloons and Woman’s Rights. \\ e see it stated in the papers, we know not on what authority, that the Mormon women of Deseret have commenced dressing in panta loons. Whether the men have taken Tip the discarded garments of the other sex is not stated. The Lowell Offering gives an account of a young and handsome Belgian lady, who dresses in the Parisian style, with black dress coat, black pants and buff’ vest. She says there should be no distinction of dress between the sexes. These are days of movement if not of progress. * A Few Things we Wish to Know. 1. The best specific for the relief of the “panes” (pains) of a window. 2. The soundings o! a bishop’s “ see,” and whether it is navigable for large ships. 3. If “currents” of the ocean are suitable for making plum-cakes. 4. If it is profane to “ dam ” a river. 5. If the “ tale” (tail) which the ghost of Hamlet’s father could unfold was like the tail of a yellow dog; and if not, whether it was in the style of “ Hogg’s Tales.” 6. If an editor is under obligations to please those subscribers who do not “ pay up.” 7. If it is not better to “ pay down” than to “ pay up.” * Another American Sculptor. William W. Story, the only son of the dis tinguished jurist, Judge tory, has just returned from Italy, where he has been studying and practising his art for the last three or four years, with an enviable reputation as a Sculptor. Mr. Story has brought over with him, among other line models, one representing a young maiden writing the word Love, with her finger, in the sand. Tins he intends to execute in marble. Mr. Story is also a poet of fine talent. * South Carolina Institute.

Our whilom correspondent, “ Flit,” com mences anew series of his pleasant letters in this number of the Gazette; and we are very sure that he will be cordially welcomed to our columns again by his former readers, and will also speedily become a favourite with the host of new readers whom we have so recently greeted lor the first time. It will doubtless be a gratifying •consideration to “Flit” that he writes for twice the number of readers that he formerly wrote for, and furthermore, that they are increasing in numbers at the rale of five hundred a week ! We enjoin upon him, there fore, to do his best to entertain them. Our only regret is, that, for the present at least, circum stances will allow him to furnish us a letter only once a fortnight, instead of every week, as we could wish. To Teachers. Wc call the attention of Teachers to the ad vertisement under the above head, in another column. The situation, we doubt not, will prove a very desiiable one to the person pos sessing the necessary qualifications. * tijif itoiral Itfnrlii. Jenny Lind. The Charleston Theatre, which lias been engaged for Mile. L.nd; is undergoing some expensive improvements to adapt it to to her concerts. Apartments are being prepared for Mile. Lind at the Charleston Hotel. She will be here the last week in the present month. Foreign Items. We gather the following foreign musical gossip from the last Message Bird : Meyerbeer’s Prophete has been played in Paris nearly one bundled nights. The part of Fides is to be vacated by Alboni, and Viordet is lo return to it. The Ilngenots is tQ be re produced for Madame Frozzolini. Spontini, the composer, has been received in the Papal States with almost regal honours. At the town of .lose he was greeted with illu minations, and a procession of state, headed by the Cardinal Bishop. Bpontini is now in his 73d year. His great works are La Vestale and Ferdinand Cortez, produced in 18U7 and 1809, at the Grand Opera, Paris. Balic’s Bohemian Girl has been produced at Berlin. The composer is understood to be en gaged on anew opera, embracing historical events of the last century. It is said Ole Bull will re-visit the United States during the next year. He will first, however, take a musical tour through Finland, Russia, and thence to the great cities of Asia. It is announced that Jenny Lind’s quondam rival, Mad’lle Nissen, is married to M. Solo mons, a Danish composer. Mr. Charles Romer, the tenor, is singing at Edinburgh. Mr. John Caban, the pianist and composer, a pupil of Ries, died at Liverpool last month. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. (Dur Honk (Tniilr. Religious Progress: Discourses on the Development ot the Christian Character. By William R. Williams. One vol. 12 mo. Gould, Kendall bi Lincoln. The author ot this work is the faithful and beloved pastor ot a Metropolitan Church, and among all who know him, his humble piety and ardent devotion, scarcely less than his varied arid distinguished attainments in knowledge, inspire respect and esteem. His character, therefore, gives tone and value to the volume before us, which we have read with a deep and sincere interest. It embraces nine Lectures, delivered by their author to the people of his charge, and published at their wish. The in spired Apostolic summary of the Christian Graces, as contained in the following words: “ And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your Faith, Virtue; and to Virtue, Know ledge; and to Knowledge, Temperance; und to Temperance, Patience; and to Patience, Godliness; and to Godliness, Brotherly Kind ness; and lo Brotherly Kindness, Charity, ’’ — affords the noble themes lor those Discourses ; and it is not saying too much to characterize them as at once evangelical in their spirit,com prehensive in their scope, felicitous in their illustration, and eloquent in their utterance. The spirit ol their author has evidently soared to loitier points of vision than any which may be reached upon the low grounds of merely hu man Philosophy, above and beyond the clouds and mists ol which, it has exulted in the light of a Divine Revelation. We have not space to quote largely, as we should like to do, from these admirable Lectures, but we must find room for one or two brief passages, which-will be sufficient, we hope, to commend the work to ai! those who properly estimate, and cordially desire, a pure and scriptural “ Religious Pro gress” in this age. of vain philosophies and “ oppositions of Science falsely so called.” In the discourse on “ Virtue,” after a careful definition oi the term, as comprehending the ‘ moral excellence which the world honours,’ and thus exhibiting ‘ the human and terrestrial side of true piety,’ but utterly inefficacious without Faith, our author says: “ Lay aside all Christian faith. Go out, as Missionaries of the new Lights of Philosophy without Christianity: and who of vou would hope to see the new creed, like the faith of the New teaching the barbarian, tame ing the cannibal, quenching the funeral pyre of the Hindoo widow, snatching the daughters of China from Death in infamy, and everywhere disciplining conscience, inspiring hope, repres sing passion, and establishing order—making freedom possible, and Law and Duty sovereign over the nations I” In the Lecture upon ‘ Knowledge,’ we find the following eloquent passage, which we quote for its practical bearing upon the times in which we live: “ The age is one of Physical Science. So far as this Science is just and sound, it will not contradict God’s revelation, for one God made botii. But scientific men have in all ages been prone to generalize too rapidly, and have too oft asserted their own theory, as if it: were God’s scientific law. Here litis been the colli sion ; and men holding lightly and reluctantly God’s word, and clutching eagerly and tena ciously any word, however rash, that promised plausibly to impugn God’s utterances, have dropped their Bible and adored their Philoso phy. Investigation went on. The theory so bold and symmetrical, was found to have ex ceptions. The exceptions multiplied. The theory was first suspected, then scouted, and ultimately left to float away a dishonoured wreck —and after the exercise of a little pa tience, it was seen that, back of the wreck, loomed aloft, intact and entire, the book and the throne of Jehovah! So has it been, so shall it be, so must it be—by the will of the World’s Maker!” In the discourse upon “ Patience.” our author very pioperly rebukes the spirit of impatience which makes some men prematu e!y seek to reconcile the text of the Bible with each new phase of fashion assumed by Natural Science. “Much was said but recently of Astronomy and its galaxies, and the star-dust out of which new worlds were even now in process of cre ation. Some would, perhaps, among Scripture interpreters, have set themselves down, on this assumed fact, to hew Revelation into harmony with it, alarmed lest the Gospel should not keep itself abreast of the last philosophical hypothe sis. But a little patience has dispersed the fancied fact. It proves a mere figment, and then Rosse telescope has saved impatient exe getes from the necessity of volunteering, as some perhaps would soon have done, to serve on the forlorn hope of finding star-dust in the Old or New Testament!” In the same earnest, thoughtful and vigorous style is the whole of this excellent volume. The critic might, perhaps, frequently discover peculiarities of diction to excite his cavils, and it may be, occasional instances of verbosity, but these, if much more aggravated, either in reality, or number, would constitute but a small blemish upon a work of so much excellence. Such books are eminently conservative and val uable in their influence upon the ultra tenden cies of the age. The work is for sale by Geo. Parks & Cos., Broad-street. Tin; History of Madame Roland. By Jolm S. C. Abbot. With Engravings. New York: Harper & Brothers. Although this volume makes one of the de lightful series of Histories for youth published by the Harpers, its author is not Joseph Abbot, but his brother John, who is also the author of the Sketches of the “ Kings and (Jueens” of our times, which came out about two years since. The history Madame Roland, whose influence over the leading spirits of the French Revolution was so remarkable, is full of stir ring incidents and great lessons of warning and instruction, and fraught with interest for per sons of all ages and botii sexes. Perhaps no female of ancient or m deni times has ever ex ercised a greater influence over the political movements of the day. At the most promi nent period of her life, when her husband, whom she so ably supported, was Minister of the Interior, his party, the Girondists, were in power. These men were the only true Re publicans of the age, and seemed guided in all their actions bv a high principle of patriotism. The manner in which Madame Roland exer cised her influence, is thus described: “ At the political evening reunions in ihe sa loon of Madame Roland, she was invariably present, not as a prominent actor in the scenes, or taking a conspicuous part in the social de bates, but as a quiet, modest lady of well known intellectual supremacy, wbo-e active mind took the liveliest interest in the agita tions of th hour. The influence she exerted was the polished, refined, attractive influence of an accomplished woman, who moved in her own appropriate sphere. She made no Ama zonian speeches. She mingled not, in the clamor of debate. With an invisible hand she gently and winningly touched the springs of action in other hearts. \Viih feminine, con versational eloquence, she threw out sagacious suggestions, which others eagerly adopted and advocated and carried into vigorous execution. She did no violence to that delicacy ot percep tion which is woman’s tower and strength. She moved not from that sphere where woman reigns so resistlessly, and dreamed not of lay ing aside the graceful and polished weapons of her own sex to grasp the heavier and coarser armor which no woman can wield.” On the following day, after such an evening her elegant and forcible remarks, illustrations and arguments, might be heard repeated in the speeches and debates in the Assembly. Many of the most important papers attributed to the pen of M. Roland emanated from her own, and'there is no doubt he owed a large share of his influence and popularity to his brilliant and intellectual wife. After the party of the Mountain came into power, the Girondists were all arrested and scores of them sufficed at the guillotine.— Madatne Roland was also imprisoned, went through the farce of a trial, and was condemned to death on the accusation of being “ the wife of her husband and the friend of his friends!” When she heard her sentence pronounced, she arose, bowed with dignity to the judges, and smiling, said: “ I thank you, gentlemen, for thinking me worthy of sharing the fate of the great men whom you have assassinated. I shall endea vour to imitate their firmness on the scaffold.” And thus she perished a martyr to the liberty she had striven in vain to inculcate, and a no ble example to the world of patriotism and de votion. **** Chanticleer: A Thanksgiving Story of the Peabody Family. 12 mo. pp. 155: cloth gilt, lloston: B. B. Mu-sey & Cos. New York: J. S. Rrillield. 1850. This charming little book, breathing the happy spirit of our honoured national festival of Thanksgiving, will be heartily received by all who love Pumkin Pie and have a realizing sense ol the seductions of Turkey. We allude to these creature comforts with high respect, and our readers will fully sympathize with us in this sentiment, when a perusal of the Peabody doings shall have shown them their magic power, in softening down the rough and oppos ing edges of the numerous members of the P. family, gathered front the four corners of the Union to commemorate the Thanksgiving an niversary at the homestead of their grandsire. The mora of the tale reminds us pleasantly of Dickens in his most successful efforts. The theme is a happy one, anu every body will wonder with us that it has never been seized before. A noble pastoral picture is that of the venerable sire—life like the fashionable Mrs. Carrack and her ‘ diminution ’ jewel of a son, Monsieur Tiffany ; and thenegress “ Mopsey” is conceived and painted in so fine a spirit that we cannot but think the author must have ‘stu died’ her South of Mason & Dixon; and the Turkey and the wondrous Pumpkin again are in their turn, such vivid pictures, that all New England claims them as natives there and to the manor born. “ Chanticleer” is a book to extract from until nothing is left; wc therefore cannot trust ourselves with a line. In this our readers will lose nothing, since every one, vve lecl pursuaded, will read the work from begin ning to end. f Music: as It Was, and as It Is. By N. E. Cornwall, M. A. Rector of Trinity Church, Fairfield, Conn. New York: I). Appleton & Cos. 1851. Seldom is as much matter condensed into 136 pages, as may be found in this thin volume, which contains only that number. It is the product of great industry, research and taste. The chapter devoted to the History of Ancient Music, is evidently the result of the most thor ough original investigations. We cheerfully commend it to the attention of those interested in the subject. The work is divided into live chapters, under the following iieads: Past Progress of Music, Present State of Music, True Standard of Music, Proper Style of Sacred Music, Due Performance of Sacred Music. * A Lecture Delivered in the Musical Fund Hall, Nov. 2Uth, 1850, in Answer to Archbishop Hughes on the De cline of Protestantism. By Rev. Joseph J. Berg, D.I). Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson. We are indebted to our enterprising neigh bours, Messrs. Courtenay & Wienges, for a copy of the above pamphlet We have not found time to read it, but doubt not that it is an able exposition ol the facts and arguments on the Protestant side of the question. It will be read with interest by all who are interested in theological controversies. Call at the corner of Broad-Jtreet and East Bay and buy it. * Q,i ekn Joanna : or the Mysteries of the Court of Na ples. ■ By G. W. M. Reynolds. New York: H. Long &. Brother. 1850. The period at which the scenes of this story are,laid was pregnant with great events and startling developments, and the writer has made the most effective use of his abundant material, blending history and romance with the skill of a consuinate artist. The mysteri ous and the terrible are liberally mingled with the other elements of the tale. Geo. Oates, King-street, has it for sate. * Cruising in the Last War. Second Series and Com. pletion. By Charles J. Peterson. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson. This is a naval story, full of exciting scenes and stirring incidents. We have thrilling ad ventures, miraculous escapes, terrible hurri canes, sanguninary battles, and glorious victo ries, here sketched with a good deal of graphic power. The work is said to be, in all essential particulars, a true narrative of the cruises of a Private Armed Brig in 1812. * Researches on the Motion of the Juices in the Animal Body ; and the Effect of Evaporation on Plants: to gether with an Account of the Origin of the Potato Disease, with Directions for its entire Prevention. By Justus Liebig, M. D., P H. I)., F. R. S.,M. R. I. A., Professor of Chemistry in the University of Giesen. Edited by William Gregory, M. D. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson. The title page of this pamphlet is sufficiently indicative of its contents, and the name of Lie big is a guaranty of its value. For sale by Courtenay & Wienges. * The Farmer’s Guide to Scientific and Practical Agri culture. New York: L. Scott & Cos.

This truly valuable addition to our Educational Li terature, is chiefly translated from a popular French work, which has passed ffirough several editions in its original language,and been highly approved. It is the first of a series of volumes intended to promote a taste for historical studies in our Colleges and Schools. We can cheer fully commend it to the attention of teachers and all other persons interested in the all-im portant subject of Education. The work is handsomely “ got up” and strongly bound, by our enterprising friends, D. Appleton & Cos., New York. * The Teachers’ Association adjourned on the 4th instant, to meet in Columbia in August next. On the evening of the day of adjourn ment, Mr. Heriot of our city, delivered an ad dress on the subject of Home Education, which is spoken of as an able and thorough exposition of the dangerous influence of the Northern school-books now in use in our schools, con taining, as many of them do, the most decided anti-Southern sentiments. * (Dnr ifantfinjiiininfi Sartain s Magazine, for January, 1851, is before us, and certainly we have seldom or never seen a more attractively illustrated maga zine. The title page for the new year is very elegant, a- are several other engravings, par ticularly that of Maelice’s fine picture “ Pre paring Moses for the Fair,” conceived in the very spirit of Goldsmith. Several of the arti cles are well illustrated by wood cuts, and among the contributors who have enriched this number, we find sch attractive names as Fre derica Bremer, Mary Howitt, who contributes one of her most pleasing ballads, Mrs. Embury, Edith May, Mrs. Sigourney, and many others of established reputation. The literary con tents. indeed, like the illustrations, may well challenge the admiration and approbation of all who are favourable to this species of literature. Prof. Hart and Mrs. Kirkland aim to give a high tone to the book, and they succeed well. We have also received Graham’s and Godey’s Magazines for January, 1851. Gra ham's comes out in quite a u -vv dress, with a handsomely engraved cover ~ud title page of graceful designs. Willis, who is after ail quite the prince of story tellers, has a story in this number, and so has G. P. R. James. Longfel low, Morris, Grace Greenwood, Alice Carey, Street, and others, grace it with their poetical contributions. The Magazine is always ably conducted in Mr. Graham’s hands, and with such a :factions as its illustrations and its list of contributors presents, wo predict for it a very successful campaign in ’sl. Gudey's Lady's Book is aiso in holiday trim. Its illustrations are beautiful, especially the “ Four Eras of Life” and the “ Seasons.” But the first engraving, called “ The Con stant,” is without doubt the prettiest, most graceful picture we have seen in a long time. It illustrates a story written by Mrs. Joseph C. Neal, who is a regular contributor to Godey. Arthur, Simms, Morris, John Neal, Park Ben jamin, Herbert, Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Pease, Mrs. Ellet, and many others, give value to this num ber of “ Godey,” and give promise to its read ers of a continued feast of good things. Godey will spare neither pains nor expense to make the Lady’s Book all it should be, and whoever subscribe- for it will find that they have much more than their money’s worth by the end of the year. **** The December number of Ue llovi’s Review has been placed on our table. It has articles on Bryant’s Poems, Mississippi Valley, Pacific Railroad Chancellor Harper on Slavery, Manufacture of Sugar, Progress of American Cities, and numerous agricultural, miscellane ous and literary pieces.

We perceive that our good neighbours of the Sun are about to issue u Tri-Weekly from their office.

We have received the second part of “ Musical Neighbours,” and shall probably publish it in our next. Thank you for it, and for the interest you take in our Gazette. Ex cuse us if we print an extract or two from your note, for the benefit of our good friend Alexis: * Messrs. Editors: I have sent you “ Musical Neighbours” continued, which, if you think will not again draw down upon you the impu tation of want of taste, I beg you will publish. If, however, you think it desirable that it should be consigned to oblivion, I trust that you will not scruple to make use of “ Alexis’ ” sugges tion and “politely decline it.” I regret that I should have been the innocent cause of bring ing upon you that gentleman’s anathemas. * * * * * I thank him for the side-shaking laugh he gave me, notwithstanding his cruel insinuations about my state of old maidenism. Ah, had he only waited a few years longer, that would have proved “the unkindest cut of all,” and I should perhaps never have recovered my equili brium of mind! M. A. L.
