From the Mobile Tribune.
FASHION AND FOLLY.
This is an age of womlfcrs rare, -
Os vice and folly tpo ;
Os notions that tb me seem queer,
Os sights strange to the view.
And yet of ail the silly things,
Os this moat silly ago,
Are those strange robes that Fashion flings
O’er fop and fool and sage. -
There’s one who sports a Shanghai coat,
That liftngs below his knees ;
With wlflskerslike a.Billy Goat,
A fit re ort for (fens. >
He struts;anil sw'ells with Moated pride,
And thiuka “ note, who but me
And acts ns though the world beside,
Contained no Ape but he.
And here’s another meets the view,
Os rather doubtful gender;
He wears* shawl, as ladies do,
* ’
Around his -waist so slender. .
What species of the race is he?
Pray tell me if you ean !
“c Sure, sneli a looking thing can’t be
One huudreth part a man.
* ‘
And there’s t,he parson richly dressed
In latest rut ami feather;
With silk and satiu colored vest
And boots of patent leather.
His dickey is eo etifl'arni^high,
(Without one inote or speck,) -
He fears to turn his venal eye,
Lest he should break his neck. ~
On Sunday morn ho struts the aisle
Os God’s pure house of prayer;
But thinks more of some fair one’s smile,
Than yon poor mourner’s tear. N
He reads a lengthy sermon o’er,
In cold and measured tone.
Preached by hi.in e saint in days of yore.
Which now he calls his own.
And there’s the maul, so blithe and gay,
With nicely padded breast-; — T
\\ ho thinks the men who gaze, will say,
‘iSee what a gloriouß cheat!”
From herstnall waist a hoop hanga down,
Even to her little feet;
And thus equipped, Bhe gads the town,
A most egregious cheat.
Others agaiu, whose snowy breasts
In native fullness sw ell,
8o fearful that no eve may’ rest,
Where those sweet hillocks dwell,
Must wear tiVir dresses hanging low
Ailown their shoulders hare,
flint every man who looks may kuuvv
There is no cotton there.
And there’s a little, artful girl, } o
.So innocent v\ ithnl,
She, too, must enter Fashion’s whirl.
And danse nt rout uml ball.
With arm around her mother pressed,
Bhe cries a |id pleads and begs, _™
That as big sister slu.w her breast,
Bbe ought to allow her legs.
And thus it is ; feul Fashion's reign
Has cursed this broad, green earth ;
Nor modesty” he deemed again,
The gem of female worth.
V 1 1 ere ean the Christian's hope now rust.
While Fashion pleads and begs,
- For maidens to expose their hreiisls,
And little gil ls their legs t
|ilisall;uuous.
’ MANNERS OF THE CHINESE.
“In Paying ca/ts, you tnkc off your lint,
he keeps his cap oi>; you advance and offer a
hearty shake rif the hand to your friend, hut* 1
lie, as he advances towards the host, closes
lijs two lists, and shakes his own hands.
? ** At dinners (when you can afford It,)
you commence with fish and soup, etc., and
end with a dessert of wines and fruit; but lie
just tnrns the tables, begiuing with fruits,
wines, and ‘ biscuits, arid winding up with
fish and soup.
v At weddings, English ladies wear white ;
Chineso Indies cannot wear white, hut other
colors. Instead of young, blooming bride
maids, trimmed in white, yuu may see old
matrons rigged in black, attendant on tbc
anxious bride-f and, for a honeymoon, the
Inidc dispenses with a flight about the coun
try to this And that spot and satisfies herself
with being caged up for the first month in
her husbands house; and there is no need
of any announcement when she may be ‘at
home.’
“At funerals, black is not worn,but white;
and the dead are shrouded not in white, but
in the gayest dresses. .-
“ In amusements, it is not uncommon to
see adults flying kites, and little urchins
squatted on the ground, looking on ; and
shuttle-cocks are battledor.ed gcnernly, not
by the hand, but the heel.
“ In books, the name, when writen outside,
is inscribed on the bottom edge. Th© be
ginning of the book is what you count the
eud. The running title is on the edge of
each leaf. The paging is near the bottom,
not at the top corner. MarginJl notes are
writteu at the ton, not at tlie foot of the
page; and in reading, you proceed from
right to left, reading each column from top to
bottom. -
“ Miscellaneous. —The surname annouced
does not follow the Christain name, but pre
cedes it. In the fond mother bolds
up her lovely babe to her nose to smell it, as
she would arose. ,In moonlight, no matter
how bright, you bear yonr lighted lantnrii
about with you. The seaman, in naming the
points of the compass, says, ‘ East, west
south north - ’ In launching a vessel, aliic is
sent into the water side ways. ‘The horseman
should njouut his horse on its right side!—
The scholar, in reciting his lesson, - ’ does not
face his master, but .turns his back upon him.
In parties, do not wear light pumps, but as
tbick-aold shoes as you can gat; and, for
blacking they must, be w hitened with white
lead, and only the edges of the sole.”
THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, NOVEMJJKIt 10, 1857.
“ 56 BIBLE TWANG,
Once upon a time an elderly Scotch wo
man gave her grflndson tbe newspaper, tell
ing him to rend aloud. The only reading
the boy had been much in the way of hear
ing was at the parish kirk, .and he began to
read in the exact toq,e in which he liaa so of
ten heard the minister read. The good lady
was shocked at the boy’s profanity, and giv
ing him a box on tbe ear, exclaimed, “What!
dost tfiou read the newspaper-with the Bible
twang?” Jilany a minister lias a twang or
tone for the pulpit that lie never uses in con
vefsation. If a, lawyer at the bar was to ad
dress the jury nr the preaching ton?,’ lie
would make them laugh when he wished
them to weep. Preaching should be m the
ordinary tone, such as used between man
and man ; but many preachers pitch on a
key so variant from their natural voice tht
they would not be recognized unless tbey
could be seen.—New York Observer.
BLNGULAB, VERY.
Tlie Bt. Louis Intelligencer, of the 7tli
inst., (tbe day before that on which the citi
zens of St. Louis were appalled by the ter
rible shock of an earthquake,) had an article,
in which, speaking of the money pauic, }t
said:
Will no growling earthquake give this
great globe a shaking,that shall awaken men
to a feeling of greater insecurity as to their
lives tliau now afflicts them in regard to their
money ?
When the above extract was written we
fancy the writer had little idea that his invo
cation would be so quickly answered. As
may be expected, the very singular coinci
dence lias attracted mach attention, and been
v the theme of universal conversation in St.
v N Louis.
’ HOW PROPHETIC.
- ■■■ o
The following is an extract from a speech
made by President. Buchanan, when in Con
gress, on the Independent Treasury Bill :
“ Tlie evils of the redundant paper circu
lation arc manifest to every eye. It alter
nately raises and sinks the Value of every
man’s property. It makes a beggar of the
man to-morrow who indulged in dreams of
wealth to-day. It converts the business of
Society into a mere lottery whilst those who
distribute tlie prizes are irresponsible
to the people. When the collapse comes—
as come it must—it casts laborers out of
employment, crushes manufactures and mer
chants, and ruins thousands of honest and
citizens.”
AN EDITORIAL FIGHT AND SINGULAR DEATH.
Out in Decat.ur, Illinois, a few weeks ago
a young lawyer named T. A. Green, imag
ined himself a poet, and sent his verses to
Mr. Davis, editor of the Decatur Gazette,
for publication. Mr. Davis criticised the
poetry severely, and a coniroversy sprung
up which resulted fn a challenge to the field
from lawyer Green. As the challenge was
more ridiculous than the poetry, the editor
so treated it, when Mr. Green undertook the
task of thrashing Mr. Davis in bis sanctum,
and didn’t come off first best. Both gentle
man were arrested for’ a disturbance of the
peace,and Mr. Sheppard, (a gentleman who
accompanied. Green to the Gazette office by
request, withont knowing the object of the
visit and witnessed the melee,) was called
upon as a witness. Being a nervous man,
the excitement of the occasion over came
him, and after giving in his testimony, he
fell down and immediately expired. The
affair has caused a great deal of excimeut in
DcdUur.
SOMETHING NEW. ‘*
%> .
Among the curious things at Ihe State
Agricultural Fair, rnay be seen cotton st el
oil, cotton seed cake, and cotton seed meal.
These arc tbe product of'Ootton seed, which
has heretofore been considered worthless, in
consequence of tlie supposed impossibility of
hulling it but which by an ingenous invention,
the property of the Union oil Company ol
Providence, has at last been accomplished.
The oil is found to be very rich and valuable
for burning, manufacturing, and tbe general
uses of otbeihaiils. The cake when ground
to mi-si is used for feeding cows, in the same’
manner as linseed meal, for which purpose it
is far preferable, as it does not give a paint//
taste, and largely increases the quantity and
richness of the milk.— Boston Trans.
A POINTED BLOtf. •
An invalid sent for a physician, and after
detaining him for some time with a descrip
tion of his pains, etc., he the* summed them
up :. “ No, doctor, you have humbugged me
long enough with your good for-nothing pills
and worthless syrups; they don’t touch the
real difficulty. 1 wish you to strike the cause
of my ailment if it is in your power to reach
it.” “It shall be done ’* said 1 the doctor;
and, lifting bis-cane, he demolishsd a decan
ter of gin that stood upon the sideboard.
A CHANCE FOB AN
In passing down one of our back streets,
a few days ago, „wo ovcrbeaad a colloquy
between a couple of darkies, and were just
in time to hear the following s
“ Now, look’er yer, Charlie, Jim moat be
an lioncst nigger, and then agin lie moutent,
but cf I was a chicken, and knowed dat lie
was abont de yard, I tell yer wot, nigger I’d

honesty, and, therefore pursued our pnward

ONE of Yhe parishioners.
The Buffalo (N. Y,) Republic tells the fol
lowing story of tlie Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, a clergyman in New York City :
Rev. Henry Ward Beeeher, dresoed in
very common clothes, was studying human
nature as exhibited in the high ways and
bye-Wnys of New York. Lithe course of,
bis philosophic peregrinations,'lie went into
a mock auction shop. He stood awhile on
on entering, and re4i*pted,lro.w any one emdd
be so lost to all sense of truth aud honeßty
as the auctioneer in question, endeavoring
to palm off’ his worthless trash to tbe inexpe
rienced in city ways, as good and valuable,
and finally the auctioneer called out; “ Mr.
Beecher, why don't you feidf” He was
greatly astonished, as wo can well imagine,
nt finding himself known in this place, and
ns he had supposed, in hi* purposely careless
dress. He immediately left, and started for
the rosidenco of one of tbe members of tbe
church in the neighborhood, and requested
him, as an a?t of kindness, to go down aud
enquire of that person who had sold himself
to satan for the love of gain, bow it was that
he knew him in his disguise. The neighbor
kindly consented,and on enteriug the “ i’eter
Funk” shop he addressed the auctioneer :
“ How is it that you know Henry Ward
Beecher so well as to be able to recognize
him in bis disgoisftT”
*• llow do I know him ? / have been a
prominent member of his congregation for
the Inst fvc years, and own the fj'lh pete
from the J/Ant.” % J
A ‘CH AT A DEER HUNT.
A city buck of the Broadway order went
in theoonntrv, and they invited film to In
deer hunt. He had seen the antlers of’a
deer, and bad a lively notion of venison, but
knew -about as little of tbe live auimala afi
he did about the gun they gave him. They
placed him where the deer was to pass, and
told him to fire as soon as he%aw him. He
stood and trembled. Boon be tbe bay
ihg of the hounds, and before long there
was a Cracking of hushes, aud a magnificent
deer rushed ?>y with immense antlers and
tail erect. The city buck stood still and
trembled. The huntsmen came up, and ask
ed him why lie did not shoot? Hfs lips
trembled, * I saw nothing bat the devil ge
by with an arm chair on his head, aud bis
handkerchief sticking out behind.
As this is an age of Conventions and fast
youths, it 4s understood that tbe boys intend
to hold a convention to revise tbe Ten Com

■J HAN? BEEMON. V : .
My Bchtv-edßreelhring.—T am an nnlsmt
hiujd shell Baptist preacher, of whom you've
noTtoobt heem before, and I now appear
hero to expound tlie Scriptures and pint oqt
the narrow way Which loads from a Vain
workl to tho streets of the Jbroosnlum, and
my textvshtefr+shral eiiiiosk for the occasion
is in the leds of the Bitile somewhere be
tween’the second Chronic ils ancT tho last
ehnpter'of Timothy Titus, and wfyefi yqp
find it you will find it in these words: ,
“And they slml gifaw ft file and nee Auto
the mountains of Ifbpsida'm, wliar the Hob
roarcth and the wang-doodlc mourneth Fonts
firstborn.” ‘ • ‘i. : i
Now my breotlrering, as I have before told
yon, I am an nnedeented man, and know
nothing about grammar talk and fcotUdgo
Iriglifalootin ; but I am a plain unlttmtprcach
er of thb Gosptl wlmt’s been foreordained
and called to expound Scriptcrs’ to a dylu
world, and prepar a preverse generation for
the day of wrath; for “they shall gnaw a ffffe
and flee into the mountains of Jlepsidam
wliar the Run Toareth and the Wang doodle
mourneth for Its first born./ .
My bclnv-sd breetherlng, the tett says
“they shftli gnaw a file.” It don't say they
may bht they shall: Aittftibtf fhtfßS'f rrtdt'fli
one kind of file. Ther’s the hand-Saw lie
rat-tail file, doable file and profit© ; biit ‘lie
kind of file Spoken of here isn’t one of tlieip
kind neither; because it’* a flggur us speech,
tny bfeotliering, arid means goin’ It alone,get
ting nkbred ;for they shall gnaw a fileanfi nee
unto the mountains of Hepsidam, wbar the
lion ronretli and the Wang-doodle mourneth
for its first -born.'’’ ‘
And now there -bo some here with fine
close on that backs, brass rings on thar fin
gers and lard on thar liar, what goes it white
they're youngand thar be brothers lrert
what, as’long as thar constitutions and forty
cent whiskey last goes it blind ; and thar be
sisters here what, when fhey git sixteen
years oW, cut thar tiller ropes and goes it
with a rush; but I say my depr breethrla.take
care yon don't find when Gabriel bfowe ws
last trump, tlfat yonv.e all went St alone and
got tikSred; for “they shall gnaw a tile anil
flee unto the mountains of HepsidAm, whar
the lion ronreth and the wang-doodle mourn
etji for its first-born./
And my broethren, there’s more daifis 114-
sides Hepmdrm. Thar’s Rotterdam.” Had
dam, AinSterdam,imill-datn and doir,t-csre a
dam—the last of which, my dam; breetlncng
is tbe worst of attfknd reminds the of a cir
cumstans I once knew ip the State of Itle
noy, ‘l’bere was a man what built him a
mill on the east fork of Agur creek, it
ground a site of grain, but tlie man what
built it was a miserable sinner, and never giv
any thing to the church ; and, tnv brecthcr
iug, one night thar coqoe a drodfol storm of
wind and rain and the fountains of the great
deep was broken up, and waters rushed down
and swept that man's mill dam into kingdom
coiue, and la and behold, in the morning
when be gotnp be feund he was not worth a
dam. Now my young breetheripg, when
storms of temptation overtake ye, take car©
you don’t fall from grace and become like tbe
man’sjmili—not worth a dam; for “they shall
gnsw a fflte gnjl flee. into tbe mountains of
Hepsidam, whar the lion roareth nnd the
wahl-doodle mourneth for its lirst born,”
“Whar the lion roareth and th© wang>doo
die mourneth for its first born.'. This part
of it my|breetheriug,is another figger of speech
and isn’ to be taken as it says. It doesn’t
mean the howlio’ wilderness;’ whet© John the
hard shell Baptist was fed on locusts and
wild asses, but it means my breetbaring, the
citty of New Yorleans, the mother of harlots
ana hard lots—whar corn is worth six bit# a
bushel one day and nary rod tbe next; whar
niggers are aa thick as black bugs in a spoiled
bacon ham. and pickpockets go
skitting about the street# like weasels in a
barn-yard—wliar they have cream-colored
horses, guilded carriages, marble snloans with
brandy and sugar in ein—whar boldest men
are scarcer than beu’s teetji, nmj ©..atrayige
woman once tukMayour heteOßd preacher
aud bamboozled him out of two hundred and
twenty-seven dollars in the , twin Win of a
shedp’s tail; but she can't do it again Hal
lelujah for “ they shall guaw a Jibs aqd flee
unto the mountains of Hepsidam, wliar the
lion roareth and the waug-doodle mourneth

My hreethering I am caplin of that flat
boat you see tied up thar, aud I’ve got abord
of her-flouts, bacon and oats, and potatoes
nnd apples, and as good Monuugebaly whia
key as you ever drank; and Pm mity apt to
git a >ig price for it ait But what, oh my
breethron, would it all be wath if 1 hadn’t
relidgion; That's aatbin like tdlfdgin my
breetbering. It’s better nor silver and gold
on without it than e jay bird ean fly withont
a tail, tbe Lord I’m an aneddieated
man, my breetbering, but I’ve searched tbe
•cripters from Den to Burshebee, and focmd
old Zion right side up, and bard shell reiidg
in is tbe best of relidgins. And k'seiflt like
tbe Methodists what expects to git into heav
en by liollerin hellfirc ; nor like the Univer
salist what gits upon the broad gage and goes
the"whole bog; nor the United Breethesing
what takes each other by the seats of the
trowsere and tries to lift their selves info heav*-
en, nor the Gatherlicks whet buys thru rick
ets from ther preests — hat it may be likened
my breetbering, unto a min wkat had to
cross a river, and when he got thar the ferry
boat was gone, and be just rolled up hie
breeches and waded over*—bsllelujab! for
“ they sball gnaw a file and flee unto tbe
mountains of Hepsidam. whit the lion roer
