SMALL WAIsTs.-lt is astonishing that
our ladies persts in that ridiculous notion,
that small waist is and mus be beautiful
Why many Of our Italian women would crv
for vexation II they possessed such waist
as some of our ladies would acquire only
by the longest and painfullest process.
have sought the reason OF this difference,
and can see no other than that the Italians
have their glorious statuary continually
before them, as models, and endeavor 10 s.
simulate themselves to them; whereas our
asEionables have no models except those
French stuffed figures in the windows of
miiners' shops. Why, if an artist should
presume to make a statue with the shape
tina, seems to oe regarded with US as the
perfection of harmonious proportion, he
would be laughed out of the city. 1t is a
standing objection against the taste Of our
women he world over, that they will prac
tically assert that French miliner under
stands how they should be made better than
nature herself.

PUNISHMENT OF SEDUCTION.

1t has long been subject Of defect in
our social system, that no proper condemna-
ton is visited on the head of the seducer.-
The unfortunate beings who fall victims to
his arts are at once subjected to the wither-
ing finger of popular scorn-pointed at, de-
spised, and discarded from society-while
he goes on in. his infamous career, fattered
by the smiles ofhs associates, and admitted
into the same circles that he previously mo-
we'd in.
Seduction and adultry are thus encoura-
ged, and the the sancitv Of the family hearth
violated by lieontious men, emboldened by
the consciousness that their villanies may
be practised with impunily. The proper
remedy for such things would be just re-
finement of public opinion, and reforma-
ton of those scandalous rules of fashionable
society which lifts the seducer to high STAN
ding, while they CO nsign his victim TO ST.
lence Of the tomb.
To accomplish this reformation, many ell
oouent men have spoken-many eloquent
writer's have argued, petently; but all IN
vain. Society is not in the right state, on
this point, to be cured by argument. Neral
men may thunder their warnings into lis
ears, but il will no: regard them; and, per-
haps, nothing but just and rigorous punish
ment, provided by law, will ever avail 10
check the evil. If society will not cast Sc
ducers and adulterers without its pale the
law ought TO take them out of it, by throw
ing them into prison, where they will be
compelled 10 restrain their beas,ly passions.
They must, also, be fined severely,to com
pensate society, in measure, for the iulu-
~ they commi. upon its pease and purity.
The man who robs woman of that honor
which is more precious 10 her than life
who robs parents of their child, or denies
the marriage ties equally deserving of ic-
gal punishment with him who does the les
ser wrong of stealing purse or breaking IN
TO his neighbors house.
Holding these views of the subject, we
are glad 10 see that san act, 10 punish Sc
duction aud adultery" has been reported in
our State Senate, by Mr.. Putnam, from the
Committee on Judiciary. 1t provides that
seduction shall be cons;ded misdemeanoi
and that any one who is convicted thereof
be punished by fine not exceeding three
thousand dollars, or by imprisonment IN
county Jail not exceeding one year, or by
both such fine and imprisonment; but the
marriage Of the parties al ANY time before
such conviction, shall operate as bar TO
| any conviction for such offence Tbs
bill seems 10 he we'll constructed in all rs
particulars Its principle is certainly COM
nendable, and we trust il will become the
law of the State. Let this be tried, at all
eyenys.-N Y. Herald.

go JESUS !! DO THIS FOR THEE" Mrs
Comstock; Of the Burmah mission, was
called upon to part from her two children.
Duty obviously demanded that they should
be brought home TO America to be eeduca,

She took one in each hand and led them
down to the ship which was to bear them a
way. She paused on the shore; her face
grew pale; her lips quivered; she raised
her hands and said, go Jesus do this fol-
Thee!" and then quietly returned to Re,

YIN THE FREQgENT UNPRoT TABLENESs
oR SERMoNs.-One reason why the preach
ing OF the gospel seems foolishness to many
who hear it is, that they see it's truth singly
and detached. Christianity is not studied
by such persons at homo, they neither read
nor think upon the subject, and all they
know upon the matter is collected from
sermon accidentally heard. But sermon,
in the nature of the thing, can be only
partial exhibition of divine truth. We
should compose treaties, and not SER
mon, were we to digress into the proof and
illustration OF every collateral subject 10
which we should find il necessary to refer,
and TO trace every necessary topic through
all its ramifcations, and to its bearings
and connections with all other truths; in
short, TO deliver in every discourse. COM
ple,e system of divinity. Is ii a wonder
then, where that general knowledge is
wanting, for which preacher must often
give his hearers credit, that tbs truths
delivered in a sermon should fail to inter-
est or effect, and that their excellence and
beauty should be undiscovered? For the
excellence of the chislian scheme can the
only be properly perceived when viewed
in the ohole and not in parts;-consequent-
ly they are only likely ever to obtain sight
Of this excellence, who will be at the pains
of viewing il in all lis extent and harmony.
Whoever refuses the labor necessary for
that end, should. at least, have the mod
esty to suspect his judgment, and confess
his incompetence.
Let an ignoran, person, who never saw
a watch and who knows nothing of its use
have its several parts spread out before
him; what utility or beauty will he discern
in them? But pu, the parts together, and
let him see them in their natural relation
and supervience to one another, and in the
general effect which they are intended TO
produce, and then he will be struck with
admiration both of the beauty and utility Of
the work.

OLD MANUSCRIPTS

persons at Rochester, in this county, calling
on them TO aid the cause of independence,
by furnishing clothing for the soldiers. We
learn also, that those papers, as is usual in
such cases, were scattered about the village,
and are in the possession of different per-
sons. We are sorry for this, as, from what
we have heard and seen, they are papers OF
much value as respects the history of that

QUIET ABoLrTIoN.-In speech before
the New York Senate, Mr.. Spencer, refer.
ing 10 the abolition of slavery in Massachu-
sets, said there was no specific record Of
its abolition. John Quincy Adams had in
formed bin ofihe probable manner in which
slavery was abolished in Massachusetts, II
WAS in this wise: A note had been given for
The price Of "a slave, in 1877. The note
was sued, and the couf, ruled, that the ma.
ker had received no consideration, as man
could not be sold. From that time forward
slavery died in the old Bay States.
