 communicate informalion in case we were liable to detection by the civil or military
 power.a hey were particularly. charged ftos give us notice, in case any known Tory came d0Un t0 tho wharf. But our main dependence was on tho general good will of the people.
 IL may be supposed there was much talk about the business the next morniug. The tories, civil, military and spies, made a great fuss, and called the lbusiness divers hard names. Proclamations and rewards. to procure detection were all to no purpose. We presehded b De as zsalous to find opt the pe:petrators, ss the rest We aften talked with tories about it.. We were all so close and loyal. that the whole affair re- mained in Egyptian darkness. We used. sometiMe afterwards, to meet and talk the affair over, never failing to end by drinking : the hearty boys of America forever .s1 T s5 @sts saa@ l0 .------...si ~ lFa3 aa i#@Ea Naturdl Food--is a phrase mpctin the mouths .of the bran-bread eaters, Plain wheat bread made of unbolted flour, say they, is the food prepared for us by good
 mother nature. e4 This we take to be great
 mistake. Dr. Fordyce tells US that a man
 has no natural food. And naturalists have shown that there is scarcely garden ve- getablo growing naturally, Buffon has said that our wheat is fictitious produc- lion, brought to it's present condition bv the art of agriculture. Rice, rye, barley. oats. are not to be found wild : but have been altered by cultivation from wild plants, not now resembling them sufficiently to enable an ordinary observer to recognize their re- lations. Our delicious celery has been transformed from an acrid, disagreoable plant: and the colewort, . plant Of scanty leaves, not weighing altogether half an ounce, has been improved into cabbage. whose leaves alone weigh many pounds. .--- So we eiare told the potatoe derives i,s ori- gin from a small bitter root which grows wild in Chili and Monte Video. All plants. in short. arc changed by cultivation, and talking about natural food is therefore waste of words. And ifcullivation leaves the transformation imperfect, cookery com- pletes it.-NeU0rk Daily Adceytissr.
 Women in the Country and ;n she C;tv. are as differen,as the barn door fowl is from the bright plumaged bird of the untrodden wild. In the first place, the city girls are not SD handsome as those living in inc country. The formes excel in dress, and the wayy lines of grace-they understand the art of showing of thoir feet and ancies tO better advailiage-but they lack one thing necdful--the nature. They walk pp- on the paved street, not the grassy lawn. whore every footstep is q line of roesry.--- 3I They have grown up surrounded by .aFti- iicial re6nements--in tho siekly glare of lamps, and n smoky atmosphere -thsir minds have been tutored by inc goddess of pature. They do not bear the song of birds-ncither do they sec the sparkling ,rivulet.

 The daughters of people in moderate circumstances in the co1ntfy, are well ed- uca,ed. They usnally spend winter in town. and acquire ail that con be learned of dress. although they depend little upon the aid of ornament.' They usually undar- stand music and drawing. They road a great deal. The society they meet Is pure. not varnished Fottenness. Their habits dre simple, and their tastes elegant. m @ia They arc without doubt tile most faacsn- ating women in the world are sought in rnatriniony by city merchants and law- yers, who have amassed fortunes. and begin to look about for some domestic comfort, while the city miss. who is never in public without being absorbed in her appearance, aud her dress, and walk, and who is slway under the restraint of some forced pretti- ness, as she thinks it, is suffered to dash the years away in idleness and folly, till her nerves are worn ont and her health aud beauty gone beyond the arts of paint, oR sho marries very young, and is laid on tho shclf-or she devotes herself 10 living her life oyer again in her daughter, her counter part.- KnicksrbOeker.
