The recent changes in the state of business have
probably reached the female sex Of all classes in
intense degree, at this season, than for thirty
years past One fact will tell the tale About year
ago. lady of true benevolence bright as the ray Of
heaven in clear day, being applied 10 for do
nation by female member of the Society, opened
her heart and her purse strings at one and the same
moment and placed in their hands fifty dollar note
At that time and scarcely three revolutions of the
sun have gone their rounds, she was moving in an
independent rank, with all the elegancies and com
forts of this world in abundance. But the great
revulsion came down upon commerce, like an ava
lanche from the frownins brow of the icy Alps. Her
friends and her fortune prostrated-the gener-
GUS hand was beref of the generous dsed-the bene-
violent heart separated from the benevolent means
Fallen from afiluence, ease and comfort this lady is
now shivering and piteous applicant for aid n
the very society which she conferred her gifts in
better day.
Such is the mutability Of human life-such are
the changes the midst of this world. In the height
Of riches the brink of famlne-in the
bloom of health lettering on the borders of the grave

BLAsPHENY AND IMMoRALrY.--The most as
founding specimens of blasphemy are daily paraded
in loafer paper that is conducted on tick in Wall
street, called the Daiiy Express For some time
past has been designating the reveres Of Tom Skid
more, the locofoco locksmith with the holy name of
" Bible" and applying to the locofocos and their
creeds all those sacred applications which are asso-
ciated only with the dearest and purest truths of
Christianity. Who the persons are thus engaged in
these daily blal phsmies, seems great mystery =
Some say thata long Shore long legged, long vsaged
loafer, of the of Brooks, caught down east as
they catch mackerel, with red rag, is the principal
manufacturer of these awful sayings. Ifitbe So we
trust the Grand Jury will take him TO task, instead of
troubling poor Doctor Sweet, who has o:ly been en-
gagged in the usual vocation Of all physicians, sweet
ening the latter end of poor patients

aow the great centre of news in the neghborhood of
Wall street. The judcious and excellent style in |
which j, kept the great variety OF papers, properly
arranged, is so great that It's subscriptions are in

Germ somewhere in the neghborhood, and in connec-
ton with vulgar print called the Express that pre-

were able to get the Herald and other papers to put

evening fire broke out in Of the long range of
buildings occupied by Mr. Loriard as tobacco fac
