In 1854 Mr. John Adams. who was afer-
wards President OF the United States, was re-
siding in France for season. His wife,
who was a very worthy woman, called one
day on the lady Of Gen. Lafayette. and soon
This lady visited Mrs. Adams in return. Mrs.
Lafayette was very modestly dressed, while
the American ladies present were mostly in
very gay attire. While al the table. one of
those who sat near Mrs. Adams whispered 10
her saying:-'Good heavens! how awfuIly she
is dressed. Mrs. Adams rebuked The observa

TIE RANK AND FILE.

The American Star, the new American paper
established in the city of Mexico, thus speaks of
Rank and File:
Never did the ranks of an army in the world
contain so many gallant spirits as are numbered
in this small band of ours which fought its way
from San Augustine TO the city Of Mexico. Du-
ring the time, many of the non-commissioned Off
Gers and privatcs distinguished themselves TO a
great degree, and gave assurance to the world that
when Americans war, those of the lower grade
enter into it with all the spirit of the highest in
command Recently, when an order was read at
the head of the companies for so many volunteers
TO step out Of the ranks TO undertake some peril
Gus enterprise against the enemy, scarce man
remained in the ranks, and it was with the great
est difficulty the selection could be made, so eager
were all to participate in the adventure. How is
il possible to conquer such men, unless they are
killed Their bearing in action has not only won
the admiration and esteem of the Commander-in-
cheif but he is so infatuated with them that We
verify believe he would be pleased to hug TO his
breast the entire army at one time.

A WIFE TO HER HUSBAND.

Liuger not long. Home is not home without thee
Its dearest tokens only make me mourn,
Oh letits memory, like a chain about thee,
Gently compel and hasten thy return.
Linger not long. Though crowds shonld WOO thy
staying,
Bethink thee; can the mirth of friends, though
dear,
Compensate for the grief thy long delaying
Cost the fond heart that signs to have thee heref
Linger not long. How shall we watch thy com
ing,
As evening shadows stretch DER moor and dell ;
When the wild bee hath ceased her busy hum
ming,
And silence hangs on all things like spelll
How shall watch for thee, when fears grow
stronger,
And night draws dark and darker on the hill!
How shall weep, when can watch no longer!
Oh! art thou absent, art thou absent still
Yet should grieve not, though the eye that seeth
me
Gazeth through stars that make its splendor
dull
For oh! l sometimes fear, when thou art with me,
Nv cup of happiness is all too full.
Haste haste thee home into thy mountain dwell
ling.
Haste as a bird unto its peaceful nestl
Haste as a skif, when tempcsts wide are swelling,
Flies to its haven of securest rest!

THE FEMALE ARMY OF SwITzERLAND.-A
notice of two regiments of women of the Canton
ofUriis said to be literally translated thus:
The two battalions, numbering fourteen hundred
females in military dress, present an aspect at the
same time formidable and captivating. In their
erolutions and discipline they are drilled to per-
fiction Curiously enough, superiority of form
and beauty has been very much the reason of the
difference of grade; the handsomest are Of the adj
vance gnard, and this post of distinction and dan
ger seems willingly conceded them by their COM
Ianions who are less favored by nature Some
classification has been guided by temperament
also. Tie more vivid and fishty have been en-
rolled as voltigucrs, or light horse-thc more
pheematic as grcnadiers. Those who have fig
ure of more eDJOnpoim are in the central body;
those ofslightcr forms are stationed at the wings
The coarse ard rude are enrolled as dragons and
canteen women The creation of this corps (which
with its discipline and enthusiasm, seems likely,
IT the first throe of coming political movement of
Europe, to take possession of the Helvetian soil
an exercise Of the powerful genius of Silas
Soglio who has reserved TO himself the general
command.

mont:
Respectfully report the undersigned, ap-
pointed under resolution of the Gener-
al Assembly of the State of Vermont, to
correspond with the sculptor Powers con-
corning the execution of the statues of
Ethan Allen and Thomas Chittenden, that
in pursuance of said resolution, they ad-
dressed to Mr.. Powers letter, whereof
the following is copy:
BURLINGTON, VT, June IL, IS47.
SIR:
Under the authority of a resolution
of the General Assembly of Vermont, his
Excellency the Governor has appointed us
a committee to correspond with you, and
inquire upon what terms, and within what
time, you will execute for the State, stat
ues of Ethan Allen and Thomas Chitten-
den, to be placed in inches in the lobby of
the Capitol at Montpelier.
We enclose for your information de-
scription and plan of the apartment in
which it is proposed to place the statues.
and if the General Assembly should au-
thorize your employment, the best Histo-
ries of Vermont, and all other means of
information concerning the lives and char
acters of those eminent patriots. will be
transmitted to you. To the best of our
knowledge, no busts of Allen or Chitten-
den are extant, nor has tradition preserved
any other description of the person Of Ell
Their, than that they were men of large
stature, muscular frame, and severity of
expression BETTING the stern and arduous
duties, which their position and the ne
cessity Of the times imposed upon them
In testifying our gratitude that your
first commission from Vermont will prob
ably be, not from a private citizen, but
from the whole people, of State which
is justly proud of having given birth to the
first of living sculptors, and which, we are
happy to know, You still remember with
the affection that no true and generous
man can ever cease TO feel for his natal
soil, we trust you will pardon us for sug-
costing that Vermont has claims upon you
not to be postponed to those of any other
patron, and expressing the hope that you
will permit no less important engagement
to prevent you from bestowing on the beau
tiful Capitol of your native State the most
appropriate of decorations the images Of
the famous among the fathers of her peu-
pie from the hand of the most renowned
of her sons
We are, sir, with the highest respect,
Your obedient servants,

REPLY OF Mr.. POWERS.


GENTLEMEN:
l had the pleasure to receive in due time
your very aatteripg communication OF Jun IL,
but not in season for an answer by the return
steamer.
Allow me, first Of all, to express my CRATE
iul thanks, for the high distinction conferred
upon me through you, by my native state.
| need hardly add, that fully appIeciateth the
honor, and the handsome re.ms in which II
has been communicated to me by yourself
yes.
To be employed by such authority. upon
the statues Of such Ten, would in itself be an
object worthy ofmany sacrifices; and circum
stances permitting, no considerations of gain,
beyond my bare expenses, would influence
me while estimating the price of my labor.
The desire have long felt to do something
for my native Stale is still in no wise abateG,
but am now surrounded by young family.
aud have many expenses, and consequently
| am bound to turn my labor 10 the best ac-
count, however reluctant | may be 10 do So
on an occasion like the present aud in max
ing an estimate Of the price for which could
afford TO execute two such statues of abont
eight feet in height and in the best of statuary
marble, within six years, must be guided by
what would be the probable results Of my time
bestowed upon ideal works Of which RAM
copies may be made from one original model
1t is not probable that should ever be called
upon TO execute duplicates from the two pro
posed statutes, and therefore. must state
aprce which would yield me comparative ad
vantases with works from which duplicate
could be made.
After mature consideration have cotne IN
the conclusion that ought to propose $50.
600 as fair price for two such statues. !
would take upon myself the responsibility of
placing them on ship board at Leghorn, in
safety, and have every precauiion taken 10
secure their sefe arrival in the United States
With the highest respect and esteem, ans
Gentlemen, most siDceely and truly,
Your ohedient servent
