MOTHERS, SEE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS. (
A Philadelphia physician, in a letter
to a lady, on the deleterious effects Of
wearing corsets, has the following re-
marks: 81 anticipate the happy period
when the fairest portion of the fair crea-
ton will step forth unncum bered with
slabs of walnut and tiers of whalebone
The constitution of our females must be
excellent, to withstand in any tolerabe de-
gree the terrible infections of the corset

DOCTOR CHALMERS.

1t is we'll known that the genius and
eloquence of this popular clergyman, dur
ing his stay in Glasgow, attracted i'm
mense crowds to his church, and the feel
ing of disappointment, when stranger
entered his pulpit, was but too visible for
any divine to mistake it. On one occa-

made an exchange with DR.. Chalmers,
was SO struck and irritated, on entering
the pull pit, with the reluctant advance Of
the assembling auditory, and the quick
retreat of many from the pews, that he

had the desired effect, and that the au-
dience became stationary under this Sc

his majesty. The King one day said
pleasantly to the prince bishop, "Be
