meats iRaren ene serie, etl eS ————— Che Press. Col. Baker’s Oration. Than this effort, there has been. nothing said, easteor west, concerning the Atlantic Cable, of more eloquence and poetical beauty. What a noble apostrophe is this to Science : *O Science! Thou thought-clad leader of the company of pure and great souls that toiled for their race, leaving their account! Measurer of the deeps of earth and the recesses of Heaven !—Apostle of civilization! Handmaid of religion! Teacher of human equality and human right! Perpetual Witness for the Divine Wisdom! Be ever, as now, the great Minister of Peace! Let thy starry brow, and benign front, still gleam in the van of Progress, brighter than the sword of the conqueror, and welcome as the light of Heaven! The speaker thus alluded to the comet : “‘We have accomplished a great work; we have diminished space to a point; we have traversed one-twelfth of the circumference of our globe with a chain of thought, pulsating with intelligence and almost spiritualizing matter. But even while we assemble to mark the deed, and rejoice at its completion, the Almighty, as if to impress us with a becoming sense of our weakness, when compared with his omnipotence, bas set a new signal of his reign in heaven. If you will to-night, fellow-citizens, look eut from the glare of your illuminated.city into the northwestern heavens, you will perceive, low down on the edge of the horizon, a bright stranger pursuing its path acrossthe sky. Amid the starry hosts that keep their watch, it shines attended by a brighter pomp and followed by a brighter train. No living man has gazed upon its splendors before; no watchful votary of science has traced its course for nearly ten generations. It is more than three hundred years since its appena was visible from our planet. When last it came, it startled an Emperor upon his throne, and while the superstition of his age taught him to perceive in its presence a herald and a doom, his pride saw in its flaming course and fiery threatening an announcement that his own light was about to be extinguished. In common with the lowest of his subjects, he read omens of his destruction in the baleful heavens, and prepared himself for the fate which awaits alike the mizhtiest and the meanest. Thanks to the present condition ef scientific knowledge, we read the heavens with a far clearer perception. We see in the predicted return of the rushing, blazing comet through the sky, the march of a heavenly messenger along his appointed way, and around his predestined orbit. For three hundred years he has traveled amoug regions of infinite space: *‘Lone, wandering, but not lost.’ He has left behind him shining suns, blazing stars, and gleaming constellations. Now nearer to the eternal throne, and again wandering on the confines of the universe. He returns with visage radiant and benign; he returns with unimpeded march and unobstructed way; he returns the majestic, swift, electric telegraph of the Almighty—bearing upon his flaming front the tidings that thro’out the universe there is still peace and order;— that amid the immeasurable dominions of the great King, His rule is still perfect; that suns, and stars, and systems tread their endless circle and obey the eternal Law.” ' The orator concluded with this faultless peroration, which must have left the auditors “gazing into the boundless future with swelling hearts.” **] have spoken of three hundred years in the past; dare I, as 1 close, imagine what will be three hundred years to come? It is a period very far beyond the life of the, individual man; it is but aspan in the story of a nation. Thronghout the changing generations of mortal life, tho’ men grow old and die, the community remains, the nation survives. As we transmit our institutions, so we shall transmit our blood, and our manners, to future ages and future populations. What multitudes shall throng these shores !— What cities shall gem the borders of the sea !— Here, all people and all tongues shall meet.— Then there shall be a more perfect civilization— a more thorough intellectual developmtnt—a firmer faith—a more revérent worship. Perhaps, as we look eaco to the struggles of an earlier age, and mark the steps of our ancestors in the eareer we have traced, so some thoughtful man of letters, in ages yet to come, may bring to light the history of this shore and of this day.— I am sure, fellow-citizens, that wheever shall afterwards read the story will perceive that. here, to-day, our pride and joy is dimmed by ng, atain of selfishness. Our pride is for hamanieg our joy is for the world; and amid all the wo } of past achievement, and all the splendors of present success, we turn with swelling hearts to gaze into the boundless future, with the earnest conyiction that it will yet develop the universal brotherhood of man.” A True Beneractor Gonze.— George Comb, the famous Phrenologist, and author of “The Constitution of Man,” recently died at the age of 70. The London Times, which ehronicles his demise,has the following in relation to “The Constitution of Man,” a work which has been profitably read by so many thousands of Americans, and which can be found in almost every collection of books, Jarge or small, throughout.our couns try : In 1828, he published “The Constitution of Man, Considered in Relation to External Objects.” This attracted great attention, and a Mr. Henderson thought so highly of it that he subsequently bequeathed a sum of money to be expended in the production of a very cheap edition of the book. The novelty of the circumstance drew to the subject an additional amount of attention; the cheap ediion was a very cheap edition; it sold; caught e ear of the people ; edition after edition was exhausted, until at length it has been questioned whether any modern volume, after “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” has obtained a lar‘ger circulation; 90,500 copies of it have been ted in Great Britain, besides large sales the United States; translations have also been made into German, French and Swedish. Mr. Combe was an unwearied laborer, up to almost the last day of his life, in the promotion of education. Revoturionary Retics.—John P. Putnam, of White Creek, Washington county, N. ¥., a grandson of Israel Putnam, has:in his possession the, very pistols which Maj. Pitcairn. esented at the Lexington ‘patriots when he cried out to them, “ Throw down arms, ye rebels, and dis» perse!” In the subseqnené retreat of the red-coats, Pitcairn’s-horse was. shot under him-and. left on the road, falling into thehands of the: “rebels,” who. cartied on rman ; Ex-Gov. Wattacg, of Indiana, gave an account, at a cable celebration in Indianopolis, of the manner in which Prof. Morse was treated before Congress, when applying for assistance to establish a line of telegraph from Washington to Baltimore. He said : Some sixteen years ago I had the honor of @ seat in Congress as the Representative of this: district. The Whig party had just achieved a great victory. They held possession of the Government. Inthe midst of the political strife around us two remarkable persons appeared—-Espy, the ‘‘Storm King,” and Morse, the Electrician. Each was asking for assistance. Each became the butt of ridicule, the target: of merciless arrows of wit. They were voted downright bores, and the idea of giving them money was pronounced farcical, They were considered fnonomaniacs, and as such were laughed at, punned upon, and almost despised. A resolution instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of appropriating $30,000 for the above object, was eventually offered by Mr. Ferris of New York, “a man of wealth and learning, but modest, retiring and diffident in his demeanor.” Out of respect to him, the resolution passed. When it came before the Committee, which consisted of four Democrats and five Whigs, Mr. Wallace being a member, and such men as Millard Fillmore, Thomas F. Marshall, Dixon H. Lewis and Jos. R. Ingersoll his associates, it was met at first with silent inattention, which one of the Whig members broke by moving that the Committee instruct the Chairman, Mr. Fillmore, to report bill to the House appropriating $30,000 for the purpose named. Every Democrat voted No, and every Whig Yes, except Mr. Wallace, whose vote would decide the question, and who asked leave to consider it, which was gran-~ ted. He believed the telegraph project a humbug, but determined to satisfy himself as to its feasibility by going to where Mr. Morse was expe~ rimenting in the Capitol on a wire stretched from the basement story to the ante-room of the Senate Chamber. The ante-chamber was crowded with Representatives and strangers when he entered. The ex-Governor said he “requested permission to puta question to the “madman” at the other end of the wire. It was granted immediately. I wrote the question and handed it to the telegrapher.— The crowd cried ‘‘read! read!” In a very short time the answer was received. When written out the same cry of ‘‘read! read!” came from the crowd. Tomy utter astonishment I foung that the madman at the other end of the wire had more wit and force than the Congressman at thisend. He turned the laugh upon me completely. But, as you know, we Western men are never satisfied with one fall; that never less than two out of three can force from us an acknowledgment of defeat. SoI puta second question, and there came a second answer. If the first raised a laugh at my expense, the second converted that laugh into ® roar and a shout. I was more than satisfied. I picked up my hat, bowed myself out of the crowd, and as I passed along the halls and passages of the Capitol, that shout followed me. As a matter of course,I voted in the affirmative of the motion then pending before the Committee, and it prevailed. The Chairman reported the bill. The House, ifI mistake not, passed it nem con, without asking the Yeas and Nays. And thus concurring, the Whig portion of that Committee, and that old New Yorker, played the part of Isabella towards Mr. Morse in this his last struggle to demonstrate the practicability of the most amazing invertion of the age, the Magnetic Telegraph! PotisH Beautizs.—Bayard Taylor thus speaks of Polish feminine loveliness as he saw it at the Warsaw horse-races where forty or fifty thousand people were assembled: ‘‘What more interested me than the speed of the horses was the beauty of the Polish women of the better class. During two years in Earope, I have not seen so great a number of handsome faces asI saw in an hour yesterday. It would be difficult to furnish a larger’ proportion from the acknowledged loyeliness of Philadelphia, Baltimore or Louisville. I heard of an American marrying a Polish lady at Dresden the other day, and I must commend his taste. These maids of. Warsaw are not only radiant blondes, whose eyes and hair remind you ofcorn-flowers among ripe grain, but also dark-eyed beauties, with faces of a full Southern oval, lips round and delicate as those of an Amorette, and a pure golden transparency of complexion. The connoisseur; of woman's beauty can nowhere better compare these two rival styles, nor haveso great a difficulty in deciding between them.” Orta@in oF En@iisH Penny PostAGE.—A traveler sauntering through the lake districts of England some years ago, arrived at a small public house just as the postman stopped to deliver a letter. A young woman came out to receive it; she took it into her hand, turned it over and over, and asked the change. Itwas a ‘large sum—no less than a shilling. Sighing heavily, she observed that it eame from her brother, but that she was too poor to take it in, and she accordingly returned it to the post~ ‘man. The traveler wad’ a man of kindness, as well as observation ; he offered to pay the postage himself, and in spite of more reluctance on the girl’s part than he could well ac. count for, he did pay it, and gave her the letter. No sooner, however, was Weegee em the postman’s back turned, than she confessed that the proceeding had been concerted between her brother and herself; that the letter was empty—that certain signs on the direction conveyed to her ail that she wanted ta know ; and that as neither of them could afford to pay the enormous postage charged, they had devised this method of franking the intelligence desired. The traveler pursued his journey, and as he plodded over the Cumberland Fells, he mused upon the badness of a system which drove people to such straits for means of correspondence, and defeated its own objects all the time. With most men, such musings would have ended before the close of an hour; but this man was Rowland Hill; and it was from this little incident, and the reflections, that the whole scheme of penny postage was derived.— Hz. Modern Gallantry. In comparing modern with ancient manners, we are pleased to compliment ourselves on the point of gal lantry ; a certain obsequiousness, or deferential respect, which we are Supposed to pay to females, as females. I shall believe that this principle actuates our conduct, when I can forget, that in the nineteenth century of the era from which we date our civility, we are but just beginning to leave off the very frequent practice of whipping females in public, im common with the coarsest male offenders. I shall betieve it to be influential, when I can shut my eyes to the fact, that in England women are still occa sionally—hanged. I shall believe it, when actresses are ‘no longer subject to be hissed off the stage by gentlemen. I shall believe it, when Dorimant hands a fish-wife across the kennel ; or assists the apple-woman to pick up her wandering fruit, which some unlucky dray has just dissipated. I shall believe in it, when the Dorimants in humble life, who would be thought in their way notable adepts in this refinement, shall act upon it in places where they are not known, or think themselves not obserred— when I shall see the traveler for some rich tradesman part with his admired box-coat, to.spread it over the defenceless shoulders of the poor woman who is passing to her parish on the roof of the same stage coach with him, drenched in the rain—when I shall uo longer see & woman standing up in the pit of a London theater, till she is sick and faint with the exertion, with men about her, seated at their ease, and jeering at her distress; till one, that seems to have more manners or conscience than the rest, significantly declares that ‘ she Should be welcome to his seat, if she were a little younger and handsomer.”” Place this dapper warchouseman, or that rider in a circle of their own female acquaintance, and you shall confess you have not seen a politers bred man in Lothbury. Lastly, I shall begin to believe that there is some such principle influencing our conduct, when more than one-half of the drudgery and coarse servitude of the world shall cease to be performed by women. Until that day comes, I shall never believe this boasted point to be any thing more than a conventional fiction; a pageant got up betwixt the sexes, in @ certain rank, and ata certain period of life, in which both find their account equally. I shall be even disposed to rank it amoung the salutary fictions of life, when in polite circles I shall see the same attentions paid. to age as to youth, to homely features as to handsome, to coarse complexions as to clear—to the woman, as she is a woman, not as she is a beauty, a fortune or a title. I shall believe it to be something . more than a name, when a well-dressed gentleman, in a well«dressed company, can advert to the topic of female old age without exciting, and intending to excite, a sneer: when the phrases “antiquated virginity,” and such a one has “ overstood her market,” pronounced in good company, shall raise immediate offence in man, or woman, that shall hear them spoken.— Charles Lamb. The new postmaster at Oswego, N. Y., has introduced female clerks into his office, apparently with great success. Men call for letters twice a day now where they formerly called but once.—LHxchange. It is the females they are after and not the mails; the only letters they care for are delle-letters. LE RARE IEEE A las SR HOTELS. Union Hotel, ees!

He took a severe cold, and after eight weeks of severe suffering the disease settled in his left leg and foot, which soon swelled to the utmost. The swelling was lanced by his physician, and discharged most profusely ; after that no less than eleven ulcers formed on the Jeg and foot at one time. We had five different physicians, but noné relieved him much; and the last winter found him so emaciated and low that he was unable to leave bis bed, suffering the most excruciating pain. During this time the bone had become so much affected, that piece after piece came out, of which he has now more than twentyfive preserved in a bottle, ba age one-half fo one and a half inches in length. We had given up all hopes of his recovery; but at this time we were induced to try your Sarsapafilla, and with its use his health and appetite began immediately to improve, and so rapid was the change that less than a dozen bottles effected a perfect cure.

Than this effort, there has been. nothing said, easteor west, concerning the Atlantic Cable, of more eloquence and poetical beauty. What a noble apostrophe is this to Science : *O Science! Thou thought-clad leader of the company of pure and great souls that toiled for their race, leaving their account! Measurer of the deeps of earth and the recesses of Heaven !—Apostle of civilization! Handmaid of religion! Teacher of human equality and human right! Perpetual Witness for the Divine Wisdom! Be ever, as now, the great Minister of Peace! Let thy starry brow, and benign front, still gleam in the van of Progress, brighter than the sword of the conqueror, and welcome as the light of Heaven! The speaker thus alluded to the comet : “‘We have accomplished a great work; we have diminished space to a point; we have traversed one-twelfth of the circumference of our globe with a chain of thought, pulsating with intelligence and almost spiritualizing matter. But even while we assemble to mark the deed, and rejoice at its completion, the Almighty, as if to impress us with a becoming sense of our weakness, when compared with his omnipotence, bas set a new signal of his reign in heaven. If you will to-night, fellow-citizens, look eut from the glare of your illuminated.city into the northwestern heavens, you will perceive, low down on the edge of the horizon, a bright stranger pursuing its path acrossthe sky. Amid the starry hosts that keep their watch, it shines attended by a brighter pomp and followed by a brighter train.

It is more than three hundred years since its appena was visible from our planet. When last it came, it startled an Emperor upon his throne, and while the superstition of his age taught him to perceive in its presence a herald and a doom, his pride saw in its flaming course and fiery threatening an announcement that his own light was about to be extinguished. In common with the lowest of his subjects, he read omens of his destruction in the baleful heavens, and prepared himself for the fate which awaits alike the mizhtiest and the meanest. Thanks to the present condition ef scientific knowledge, we read the heavens with a far clearer perception. We see in the predicted return of the rushing, blazing comet through the sky, the march of a heavenly messenger along his appointed way, and around his predestined orbit. For three hundred years he has traveled amoug regions of infinite space: *‘Lone, wandering, but not lost.’ He has left behind him shining suns, blazing stars, and gleaming constellations. Now nearer to the eternal throne, and again wandering on the confines of the universe. He returns with visage radiant and benign; he returns with unimpeded march and unobstructed way; he returns the majestic, swift, electric telegraph of the Almighty—bearing upon his flaming front the tidings that thro’out the universe there is still peace and order;— that amid the immeasurable dominions of the great King, His rule is still perfect; that suns, and stars, and systems tread their endless circle and obey the eternal Law.” ' The orator concluded with this faultless peroration, which must have left the auditors “gazing into the boundless future with swelling hearts.” **] have spoken of three hundred years in the past; dare I, as 1 close, imagine what will be three hundred years to come? It is a period very far beyond the life of the, individual man; it is but aspan in the story of a nation. Thronghout the changing generations of mortal life, tho’ men grow old and die, the community remains, the nation survives. As we transmit our institutions, so we shall transmit our blood, and our manners, to future ages and future populations. What multitudes shall throng these shores !— What cities shall gem the borders of the sea !— Here, all people and all tongues shall meet.— Then there shall be a more perfect civilization— a more thorough intellectual developmtnt—a firmer faith—a more revérent worship. Perhaps, as we look eaco to the struggles of an earlier age, and mark the steps of our ancestors in the eareer we have traced, so some thoughtful man of letters, in ages yet to come, may bring to light the history of this shore and of this day.— I am sure, fellow-citizens, that wheever shall afterwards read the story will perceive that. here, to-day, our pride and joy is dimmed by ng, atain of selfishness. Our pride is for hamanieg our joy is for the world; and amid all the wo } of past achievement, and all the splendors of present success, we turn with swelling hearts to gaze into the boundless future, with the earnest conyiction that it will yet develop the universal brotherhood of man.” A True Beneractor Gonze.— George Comb, the famous Phrenologist, and author of “The Constitution of Man,” recently died at the age of 70. The London Times, which ehronicles his demise,has the following in relation to “The Constitution of Man,” a work which has been profitably read by so many thousands of Americans, and which can be found in almost every collection of books, Jarge or small, throughout.our couns try : In 1828, he published “The Constitution of Man, Considered in Relation to External Objects.” This attracted great attention, and a Mr. Henderson thought so highly of it that he subsequently bequeathed a sum of money to be expended in the production of a very cheap edition of the book. The novelty of the circumstance drew to the subject an additional amount of attention; the cheap ediion was a very cheap edition; it sold; caught e ear of the people ; edition after edition was exhausted, until at length it has been questioned whether any modern volume, after “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” has obtained a lar‘ger circulation; 90,500 copies of it have been ted in Great Britain, besides large sales the United States; translations have also been made into German, French and Swedish. Mr. Combe was an unwearied laborer, up to almost the last day of his life, in the promotion of education. Revoturionary Retics.—John P. Putnam, of White Creek, Washington county, N. ¥., a grandson of Israel Putnam, has:in his possession the, very pistols which Maj. Pitcairn. esented at the Lexington ‘patriots when he cried out to them, “ Throw down arms, ye rebels, and dis» perse!” In the subseqnené retreat of the red-coats, Pitcairn’s-horse was. shot under him-and. left on the road, falling into thehands of the: “rebels,” who. cartied on rman ; Ex-Gov. Wattacg, of Indiana, gave an account, at a cable celebration in Indianopolis, of the manner in which Prof. Morse was treated before Congress, when applying for assistance to establish a line of telegraph from Washington to Baltimore. He said : Some sixteen years ago I had the honor of @ seat in Congress as the Representative of this: district. The Whig party had just achieved a great victory. They held possession of the Government. Inthe midst of the political strife around us two remarkable persons appeared—-Espy, the ‘‘Storm King,” and Morse, the Electrician. Each was asking for assistance. Each became the butt of ridicule, the target: of merciless arrows of wit. They were voted downright bores, and the idea of giving them money was pronounced farcical, They were considered fnonomaniacs, and as such were laughed at, punned upon, and almost despised. A resolution instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of appropriating $30,000 for the above object, was eventually offered by Mr. Ferris of New York, “a man of wealth and learning, but modest, retiring and diffident in his demeanor.” Out of respect to him, the resolution passed. When it came before the Committee, which consisted of four Democrats and five Whigs, Mr. Wallace being a member, and such men as Millard Fillmore, Thomas F. Marshall, Dixon H. Lewis and Jos. R. Ingersoll his associates, it was met at first with silent inattention, which one of the Whig members broke by moving that the Committee instruct the Chairman, Mr. Fillmore, to report bill to the House appropriating $30,000 for the purpose named. Every Democrat voted No, and every Whig Yes, except Mr. Wallace, whose vote would decide the question, and who asked leave to consider it, which was gran-~ ted. He believed the telegraph project a humbug, but determined to satisfy himself as to its feasibility by going to where Mr. Morse was expe~ rimenting in the Capitol on a wire stretched from the basement story to the ante-room of the Senate Chamber. The ante-chamber was crowded with Representatives and strangers when he entered. The ex-Governor said he “requested permission to puta question to the “madman” at the other end of the wire. It was granted immediately. I wrote the question and handed it to the telegrapher.— The crowd cried ‘‘read! read!” In a very short time the answer was received. When written out the same cry of ‘‘read! read!” came from the crowd. Tomy utter astonishment I foung that the madman at the other end of the wire had more wit and force than the Congressman at thisend. He turned the laugh upon me completely. But, as you know, we Western men are never satisfied with one fall; that never less than two out of three can force from us an acknowledgment of defeat. SoI puta second question, and there came a second answer. If the first raised a laugh at my expense, the second converted that laugh into ® roar and a shout. I was more than satisfied. I picked up my hat, bowed myself out of the crowd, and as I passed along the halls and passages of the Capitol, that shout followed me. As a matter of course,I voted in the affirmative of the motion then pending before the Committee, and it prevailed. The Chairman reported the bill. The House, ifI mistake not, passed it nem con, without asking the Yeas and Nays. And thus concurring, the Whig portion of that Committee, and that old New Yorker, played the part of Isabella towards Mr. Morse in this his last struggle to demonstrate the practicability of the most amazing invertion of the age, the Magnetic Telegraph! PotisH Beautizs.—Bayard Taylor thus speaks of Polish feminine loveliness as he saw it at the Warsaw horse-races where forty or fifty thousand people were assembled: ‘‘What more interested me than the speed of the horses was the beauty of the Polish women of the better class. During two years in Earope, I have not seen so great a number of handsome faces asI saw in an hour yesterday. It would be difficult to furnish a larger’ proportion from the acknowledged loyeliness of Philadelphia, Baltimore or Louisville. I heard of an American marrying a Polish lady at Dresden the other day, and I must commend his taste. These maids of. Warsaw are not only radiant blondes, whose eyes and hair remind you ofcorn-flowers among ripe grain, but also dark-eyed beauties, with faces of a full Southern oval, lips round and delicate as those of an Amorette, and a pure golden transparency of complexion. The connoisseur; of woman's beauty can nowhere better compare these two rival styles, nor haveso great a difficulty in deciding between them.” Orta@in oF En@iisH Penny PostAGE.—A traveler sauntering through the lake districts of England some years ago, arrived at a small public house just as the postman stopped to deliver a letter. A young woman came out to receive it; she took it into her hand, turned it over and over, and asked the change. Itwas a ‘large sum—no less than a shilling. Sighing heavily, she observed that it eame from her brother, but that she was too poor to take it in, and she accordingly returned it to the post~ ‘man. The traveler wad’ a man of kindness, as well as observation ; he offered to pay the postage himself, and in spite of more reluctance on the girl’s part than he could well ac. count for, he did pay it, and gave her the letter. No sooner, however, was Weegee em the postman’s back turned, than she confessed that the proceeding had been concerted between her brother and herself; that the letter was empty—that certain signs on the direction conveyed to her ail that she wanted ta know ; and that as neither of them could afford to pay the enormous postage charged, they had devised this method of franking the intelligence desired. The traveler pursued his journey, and as he plodded over the Cumberland Fells, he mused upon the badness of a system which drove people to such straits for means of correspondence, and defeated its own objects all the time. With most men, such musings would have ended before the close of an hour; but this man was Rowland Hill; and it was from this little incident, and the reflections, that the whole scheme of penny postage was derived.— Hz. Modern Gallantry. In comparing modern with ancient manners, we are pleased to compliment ourselves on the point of gal lantry ; a certain obsequiousness, or deferential respect, which we are Supposed to pay to females, as females. I shall believe that this principle actuates our conduct, when I can forget, that in the nineteenth century of the era from which we date our civility, we are but just beginning to leave off the very frequent practice of whipping females in public, im common with the coarsest male offenders. I shall betieve it to be influential, when I can shut my eyes to the fact, that in England women are still occa sionally—hanged. I shall believe it, when actresses are ‘no longer subject to be hissed off the stage by gentlemen. I shall believe it, when Dorimant hands a fish-wife across the kennel ; or assists the apple-woman to pick up her wandering fruit, which some unlucky dray has just dissipated. I shall believe in it, when the Dorimants in humble life, who would be thought in their way notable adepts in this refinement, shall act upon it in places where they are not known, or think themselves not obserred— when I shall see the traveler for some rich tradesman part with his admired box-coat, to.spread it over the defenceless shoulders of the poor woman who is passing to her parish on the roof of the same stage coach with him, drenched in the rain—when I shall uo longer see & woman standing up in the pit of a London theater, till she is sick and faint with the exertion, with men about her, seated at their ease, and jeering at her distress; till one, that seems to have more manners or conscience than the rest, significantly declares that ‘ she Should be welcome to his seat, if she were a little younger and handsomer.”” Place this dapper warchouseman, or that rider in a circle of their own female acquaintance, and you shall confess you have not seen a politers bred man in Lothbury. Lastly, I shall begin to believe that there is some such principle influencing our conduct, when more than one-half of the drudgery and coarse servitude of the world shall cease to be performed by women. Until that day comes, I shall never believe this boasted point to be any thing more than a conventional fiction; a pageant got up betwixt the sexes, in @ certain rank, and ata certain period of life, in which both find their account equally. I shall be even disposed to rank it amoung the salutary fictions of life, when in polite circles I shall see the same attentions paid. to age as to youth, to homely features as to handsome, to coarse complexions as to clear—to the woman, as she is a woman, not as she is a beauty, a fortune or a title. I shall believe it to be something . more than a name, when a well-dressed gentleman, in a well«dressed company, can advert to the topic of female old age without exciting, and intending to excite, a sneer: when the phrases “antiquated virginity,” and such a one has “ overstood her market,” pronounced in good company, shall raise immediate offence in man, or woman, that shall hear them spoken.— Charles Lamb. The new postmaster at Oswego, N. Y., has introduced female clerks into his office, apparently with great success. Men call for letters twice a day now where they formerly called but once.—LHxchange. It is the females they are after and not the mails; the only letters they care for are delle-letters. LE RARE IEEE A las SR HOTELS. Union Hotel, ees!

Sanps: Gentlemen,—It gives me pleasure to send you the following statement in regard to my son. He took a severe cold, and after eight weeks of severe suffering the disease settled in his left leg and foot, which soon swelled to the utmost. The swelling was lanced by his physician, and discharged most profusely ; after that no less than eleven ulcers formed on the Jeg and foot at one time. We had five different physicians, but noné relieved him much; and the last winter found him so emaciated and low that he was unable to leave bis bed, suffering the most excruciating pain. During this time the bone had become so much affected, that piece after piece came out, of which he has now more than twentyfive preserved in a bottle, ba age one-half fo one and a half inches in length. We had given up all hopes of his recovery; but at this time we were induced to try your Sarsapafilla, and with its use his health and appetite began immediately to improve, and so rapid was the change that less than a dozen bottles effected a perfect cure.
