THE NoBLEMEN OF ENGLAND.

The editor of the Savannah Republican who
has been travelling through England makes the
following observations in late letter to that paper
81 have visited the House of Commons and oi
Lords In the Lords, l heard the Marquis Of
Clauricaree, Lord Normandy, the Duke OF Rich
mond, Lord Monteigh, Lord Radnor, the Earl oi
Ripon, and several other of their lordships speak
and was surprised in the of every one, except
The last named peer, to see at what haltng pace
they went on. There was not the slightest
pretensions TO eloquence. ! observed this body
with attention. aud declare, withoutfear of contra
dicton that in oratory and in personal appearance,
they fall far very far below the American Senate.
The reason is obvious, at least as to their ability.
These men are peers by inheritance; and, though
doubtless thoroughly educated and sustained by a
conscious pride, yet nature has not given them all
noble minds Again; hold it 10 be undeDable
that their lordships are, the most OF them men Of
rather ordinary personal appearance. Generally
have not found the English so handsome people
as expected; but Of all the ugIiness ever saw,
Edinburgh furnishes the most specimens.'

LIZZY WADSWORTH;
THE MECHANICS DAUGHTER.


Iizzy Wadsworth was lively, laughing little
witch, just about eight years old when l first be-
at her age, she was very fond of play, and the mo-
ment she was out Of school, she was off after some
Of her playmates for frolic. Itmade no difference
with her, so they were kind and respectable, what
might be their station in life, whether high or low,
rich or poor-feeling consciousness of being as
good but not better than any Of them in like gen.
erous spirit
But Lizzy had soon to learn her mistake. One
day, while merriIy at play with Molly Barton, Miss
Sophia Rebecca Jones, daughter Of Major Jones,
the purser. stepping slyly up to Molly, whispered
in her ear
al wouldn't play with Liz Wadsworth, If was
In your pIace-'cause the Wadsworths are poor
people, and ainf respectable"
This good.natured and refined communication
did not meet with the most cordial reception, else
Molly probably would have kept it to herself
Miss Sophia Rebecca Jones was several years
the older of the two playmates; but no one
had ever accused her Of being wise beyond her
years. and the present instance the result showed
that she would have exhibited much better sense in
Withholding her sage advice.
Molly had no idea Of inquiring whether the
Wadsworths were rich or poor; she knew they
lived in good style enough, and had never before
heard that poor people could not be respectable as
well as the wealthy. So she not only continued on
play with Lizzy, but lost time in telling her
what the amiable Miss Jones had said.
But Lizzy pride was touched. She was aware
that her father was not rich. and that neither
was he Major or Captain; but she knew he
was temperate and industrious man, and could
not understand why her folks were not as respecta-
bic as Miss Jones'. Miss Jones' father was a
purser, while hers, to be sure, was mechanic.
So soon as she returned home, she went with the
story to her mother. whose ingenuity was severely
taxed7in endeavoring to soothe her wounded feel
ings. ti;i sds ~ .gti5 0pi egg ~
But Lizzy finally became satisfied that she was
none the worse of for the affront, since il was
nothing but the offspring Of ill-breedng in one for
whom she bad never entertained any particular
regard. Yet she did not forget 1t. .8ssa SIR d

A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.

A late number of the French paper, the Journal
Of Rouen, announces singular rencontre which
took place at that town not long since, when an
equestrian statue in bronze of the Duke of Wei.
lington, brought from Paris IN the Luxor, was
about to be landed on the quay. to be shipped for
England. The Tancarville arrived at the same
moment with the statue of Napoleon, destined by
the King TO be erected at Ajaccio. They were
consigned to two different houses, between whom
dispute arose to the precedence in their heing
landed, during which the effigies of the two
great captains stood face to face on the decks Of
their respective vessels. The commandant of the
port, however, decided that Napoleon should be
the first landed, and the Duke the first to be re-
embarked. Apropos of statues. We learn from
the Edinburgh Scotsman that the summit of Ban
vraggie in Sutherlandshire, is crowned by coios-
sal monument erected by the Sutherland tenantry
to the memory Of the late Duke. A statue, thirty
feet high and containing eighty tons of stone,
stands on a pedestal seventy five feet in height.
The figure is SAID to be an excellent likeness, and
to form the largest statue in Europe. Y. San.

who are leaning over the edge of the bridge. Two
minutes more and all will be over That blade Is

his eyes are starting from their sockets His last
hope dying in his heart; his life must hang upon
the next gain he cuts. That niche is his last. At
the last faint cash he makes, his knife, his faithful
knife, falls from his nerveless hand, and ringing
along the precpice, falls at his mothers feet An
involuntary groan fdespair runs like death-knell
through the channel below, and all is still as the
grave At the height Of nearly three hundred feet,
the devoted boy lifts sShopeless heart and closing
eyes to commend his soul to God. 'Tis but mo-
ment-there !-one foot swings off!-he is reeling;
trembling-toppling over into eternity! Hark! a
shout falls on his ear from above! The man who
islying with half his length over the bridge, has
caught glimpse of the boys head and shoulders
Quick as thought the noosed rope is within reach
of the sinking youth. No one breathes. With a
faint, convusive effort the swooning boy drops bis
arms into the moose. Darkness comes over him
and with the words, God! and mother! whispered
the Tightening rope lifts him out Of his last shallow
niche. Not lip moves while he is dangling ovel

reaches down and draws up the lad, and holds him

such shouting, such leaping and weeping for joy,
never greeted the ear of human being so recovered
from the yawning gulfof eternity.

THE BEAUTY AND FASHION OF TAJURA

THE BEAUTY AND FASHION OF TAJURA
The softer sex of Tajura, whilst young, present
tolerable share of comeliness, and a pleasing
expression wlthali but they are speedily past the
meridian OF beauty. A close blue chemise, a
leathern petticoat, acloth reaching to the anc
and liberal coat of lard over exravagantly braided
ringets, which are knotted with white beads, form
the toilet of maid, wife, and widow An OCCASION
al necklace of colored beads, falling over the sable
bosom, pendent Of brass or silver wire, of no
ordinary dimensions, and large ivory bracelets or
anklets, proclaim the besetting foible OF the sex.
But ornaments are by no means general Moham-
medan jealousy tends to the seclusion of the better
order of females to a certain extent; but marriage
in high life, when the procession passed close to
the encampment, afforded an opportunity not
always enjoyed of beholding the beauty and fash
ion of the place. The matrimonial shackles are
here easily loosed; and the greater portion of
the population being deeply engaged in the
slave trade with the interior, have their houses
filled with temporary wives, who are from time to
time unceremoniously shipped for the Arabian
market, in order that the funds accruing from the
sale OF their persons may be invested in new pur-
chases. The Highlands of Ethiopia.

be of great service to the labors generally Her
husband had to maintain her and FIVE children out

land; but that was not sufficient. with his low
wages, to maintain them in manner fitting to

toes fora considerable length of time, and nothing
but the IS. per week. Her children were often
crying around her for food, and she did not know
how to get any. She said the men knew nothing
Of their hardships in comparison to the women;

the management was left to the women, who could
