for moment. She said she was suffering
from recent illness, but thought her look

with her, and Lord, and the cele-
brated Vidocq for this is what they had
come TO see, was showing them the dis
gulses he had worn in his wonderful detec-
ton of criminals, the weapons he had TAX
Ell from them, and all the curlositles of his
career-himself the greatest. | looked at
the Prince Of Policemen with no little in
terest of course, after reading his singu-
lar memoirs. He is a fat man, very like
the outline of Louis Phillippe's figure and
his head, enormously developed in the per-
ceptlve organs, goes up so small to the top,
as to resemble the pear with which the
King of the French is commonly carl
caured. Vidocqs bow to me when
came in was the model of elegant and re-
spectful suavity, but could not repress a
feeling o. repugnance to him, nevertheless.

of her expressions was narrated with great
glee. She CHANGED to have occasion to

Of her readiness and wit were given, and

eEJsRev. DR. Beecher, desc riding in a
public address the character of ministers
needed at the west said, when the strong,
doctrnaI, pungent and and discriminating
preaching of Baxter and Edwards, gives
place TO moonshine and nocturnal rain
bows and mysticism which no human mind
can comprehend, delivered by men with
rings on their lily fingers, holding cam
brio handkerchiefs to eyes that never
wept for sin, then farewell to the fire of
the altar, farewell to the true rivals of re-
ligion, farewell to the salvation of the
souls ofmen!

My dear Morris-I took advantage O

neighborhood of Oxford, which is to be
her future home. am now IN London, a.
lone. These two or three days of mental
indleness have quite restored my brain
to working condition, ! believe, and now
let me see what have to say to you.
Powers statue of the GREEK SLAVE
is one ofthe topics of London, at this mo.
ment, and, in my opinion, if it fare as
vel, rs to preservation, as the Venus de
Medicis, it will be more admired than that
first marble of the world, when Lone on
shall be what Rome IL now. Powers shall
be idolized by women for the divine type
of her, by which he has now elevated
mems ideal of the sex. That so wonder.
fully beautiful thing can be true to ia
ture-that this divine mould is unques-
llonably like some women-is a convic-
ton that must strike every beholder, at
the same time that it makes him thank
God that he is born one of this "kind, ="
and makes him adore woman more in
tenseIy than before. This Greek slave
stands for sale in the Turkish bazaar
Her dress hangs over the pillar against
which she leans, and she is nude with the
exception of the cham hung from wrist to
wrist. 1t is girl of eighteen, of beauty
just perfected. A particular criticism of
the figure and limbs would hardly be in
ieresting to those who are not to see the
statue. and | can only speak of the express
sion of the face, which is one that gives
the nude figure complete character of
purIty-a look of calm and lofty indlgna-
ton, wholly incapable of willing submls.

by this work, fancy, commissions e.
nough tor new works, to fully occupy his
time. 1t was bought by an Englishman

picture and that of the ambitious and live
iy working men of our country.
Another contrast strikes, probably, all
Americans on first landing-that of fe-
male dress. The entire absence Of the
ornamental--of anything, indeed except
decent covcring--n all cases below the
wealthy, is particularly English, and par
ticularly un-Amercan. | do not believe
YOU would tino ten female servants in New
York without (pardon my naming it) a
"bustle." Yet saw as many as two
hundred women in the streets of Liver
pool, and not one with hustle! saw
some ladies get out of carriages who
wore them, so that il is not the fashion,
but simply because the pride (of those
whose backs form but one line) does not
outweigh the price of bran. They. wore
thick shoes, such as scarcely man would
wear with us--no gloves, Of course-and
their whole appearance was that of fe-
males in whose minds never entered the
thought of ornament on weekdays, The
lrilllng exponent of the condition of wo-
men in England has large field of spec
ulation within and around it, and the re-
suit of philosophizing on it would be vast
y in favor Of our side of the water.
As this letter is written on my first day
ofsittng up, and directly against the doc
tors orders, you will give my invalid
brain the credit OF coming cheerfulIy in
to harness. Yours, faithfully,

BLAUTEOUS LITTLE MARY.

ny EDWARD KENEALY.
AUTHOR OF "BRALLAGHAN,' &c
There is a beauteous little dame,
Take care, take care,
Mary is this beau,y's name;
All! sir, beware;
She has eyes like some young lawn -
Tripping wild on eastern lawns,
And hor silver shining feet
Lightly dance to music sweet
All! take care.
She has little snowy hands.
Take care, take care,
Like white lilies twined in hands,
All! sir, beware;
When she strikes her light guitar,
See them glitter like star;
Touch them 100, like roses soft,
Kiss them-if she'll let you-o
All! take care.
She has ringlets richly brown.
Take care, take care,
Lovclier than jewel'd crown;
All sir, beware,
You are lost if once you press
TO Your lips one siken tress;
They are nets of love that hold
BY some magic. young and old,
All take care.
She has roses in her mouth,
Take care, take care,
Sweeter than the fragrant south,
All sir, beware;
Ifyou see her crimson lip,
Ten 10 one yoN'l long to sip;
But so guarded is the fruit,
You must snatch or lose your suit,
All! take care.
She is witty, young and wild,
Take care, take care,
Playful like little child,
All! sir, beware;
Beauty, goodness, wit, combine
To MAKE little Poll divine,
All! take care.
When she sings and when she speaks,
Take care, take care,
When she plays her pretty freaks.
All! sir, beware;
In trice you'll find your heart
From its lawful owner part,
And the beauteous little dame,
Says it's hers by lawful claim,
All! take care.
