NEW YORK. DANDIES.

The city editor of the N. Y. Tribune
gives the following graphic por,raitures of a
Broadway swell and Bowery boy. Greatly
as the characteristics Of the dandy differ in
different cities, it will be seen that there is
but little more likeness between these orna.

same city. No one who has ever seen the
originals will deny the accuracy Of these
portraitures, The dandies of New York

genus exquisite, and are not to be confound.
ed with any others in the United States, or
even Oh the other side Of the herring
pond.
"The people in the Bowery Look as if
they dressed in hurry--wilb the ,excep-
ton ofnow and then, of notablity who
is known asa Bowcry dandy. The style
of this gentleman's costume is startling and
extraordinary. Blazing colors--siark star-
ing blue for coat, brick ed for lpaistcooi,
breaches Yih portentious green stripe,
hat brustt UP to the i;ighssi gloss, shiny
as new kelile--he rollsdown the Bowery,
a perfect meteor, before whose slightest
scintlllation Broadway exquisite would
dwindle to undistrnguishabl nothingness.
The Broadway dandy dresses snug and
small, reducing his person by stays and
pulleys, close-tiuIng coats, pants, vests and
gloves The Bowery dandy would impress
you with an idea of Iargeness, strength he
swells his chest, makes broad the bnm of
his hat, the skirts of his cuai-cuts close
'his HAIR, which conveys notion ofyigor-
and as for gloves, his muscular, broad,
brown hand speaks for itsei--he has never
been known 10 wear them. You see no
children IN Broadway-the little tricked
out things in iringed pnnlaletts, fantoccini
coats and South American casters are
scarcely to be reckoned children in the
Bowery they swarm aud uliiply-therea
bare legged, bread and butter eaters; they
pour down from up above, flood in from
side streeis-seein to spring mushroom
fashion out ofthe very ground.

CONFINEMENT.

1t is not the independence secured By
the possession of immense wealth, nor all
the gauds Of pomp. or the qualifications of
idle vanity, that can secure for the mind
that repose after which mankind is contin-
ually yearning. No, il is thecunsciousnes
that we have not forgotten the high duties
which We have been placed here to per-
form, and that we have sufficient philoso-
ply 10 enable US to bear "the sings and
arrows of outrageous fortune" "Poor and
content, is rich and rich enough" and lie
who can bear the evils Of this life without

THE MIND.


o. all the noble works OF God, that of
the human mind has ever been considered

that degree as the mind is improved and
rendered pure, is man fitted for rational en-
Joyment and pure happiness, Thatperson
who spends a whole existance without u
realization of the great ends for which he
was designed; without feeling a soaring of
the soul above mere mercenary motives
and desires; not knowing that he is por-
ton, as it were, Of one vast machine, in
which each piece has part to perform,
having no heart beating in common with
those of his fellow men, no feelings in
which self is not the beginning and the
end, may well be said not TO live. His
mind is shut in by moral darkness, and he
merely exists, a blank in the world a ID
goes TO the tomb with scarcely a regret
Such beings we have seen and wondered
at-wondered that mortal, endowed with
So many noble qualities, and capable of the
highest attainment of intellectually, should
slumber on through a world like ours, IN
which is everytl ing beautiful aud sublime,

lmlratlon--a world which affords subjects
for exercising every lively attribute with
which we are gifted, and opens scene of
the richest variety to the eye, the mind, and
the heart, aud of such a diversified charac-
ter, that we may never grow weary. IT,,

Talk moi to me of happiness,
OF friends that love me yet;
& We are all dearer to me now,
Then how can forgetl
You bid me laugh a merry laugh
You ask in vain a song;
How could smile, or sing tonight,
The songs neglected longl
They would recall too painfully,
The happiness of yore,
When gaily few the sunny hours,
Which shall know no more.
Then ask me not TO sing again,
The songs used to sing,
orround my weary, aching brow, !
A fowery wreath to fling.
Those fairy blossoms would but mock,
The wretchedness beneath;
Once they'd have lightly decked my brow,
But now, take back thy wreath.

ROSA BLANCH.
Or the biIghted Rose of the Dairy.
aY ROMEO.

II
-Mhsrman by error blights his name,
He may the breach restore;
But woman, when she stoops TO shame,
Is lost for evermore.
Whom once within the dark vortex,
" No hand extends to save--
Condemn'd by man-spurn'd by her sex,
She sorrows to the grave.
Thus Rosa, when she would return,
The cold, unfeeling world, ss
ReMs'd her back, with mandate stern,
And insult on her hurrd.
An outcast from the human race,
She saw no plying eye,
The poor-house was the only place,
Where she might weep and die.
She feels her sands are nearly run;
Her soul must soon depart;
No friend is near the lonely one,
To sooth her troubled heart.
At that dark hour, when the soul,
Shrinks back at every groom,
And death drops from the forehead roll, ;
Poor Rosa was alone.
No, not alone !-for one above,
With an attentive ear,
Is list'ning with fathers love,
Her dying prayer to hear.
Though all the world may disappear,
He is forever nigh,
And sees the first repentant tear,
Fall from the monrner's eye.
The shaft is sped-slie gasps for breath
The grave yawns-at her feet
A spirit through the shades of death,
Speaks consolation sweet.
She sees beyond her present woes,
A brighter world than this,
Aud mildly sinks 70 dealh's repose,
5Isn a dreaniy bliss,
Hcrhhiyc cot appears nnne more
Now peering through the gloom,
: Her father sits within the door,
And beckons her to come,
She hears again the lowing herd;
She culls the blushing flowers;
Above her head the yellow bird,
2 Chirps in his lealy bowers.
A light uuearihly marks her eye,
And then mist comes DER;
A half drawn breath-a smile-a sigh,
And Rosa is no more.

An AhOIitlOniSt,
August 10.

Tn. above title has been the subject Of consdera-
bic attention for number Of years past, and although,
when the subject to which it is applied is ascertained,
ii seems to b. simple and easily comprehended, yet it
has been invested with much of mystery. 1t is,
however, only when it is applied to the subject
of slavery that it is lnsdered mysticism. Under
that application, it, according to sense, denommates
one who is opposed to slavery, and as necessary
consequence, desires It's abolition. 1t is utterly I'M
possible for these to conceive how person can be OPP
posed to "a thing and at ha same time not desire to
have it abolished. Such tbngappears to them con.
Trajectory and nonscna'caL. There may be a coniid-
cradle variety Of opinions, among those who desire to
have slavery abolished, concerning the proper mode
of accomplishing the object, and yet all be equally
ahoitionists This variety Of sentiment concerning
the way and MEANS may make some Of them as wise
and udcious, and others as foolish and reckless, but
still is hard to perceive how 1t furnishes the glory Of the
title by which they are all appropriately designated.
1t seems to illustrate the mperecton of the human
mind, but docs not render an individual entertaining
any one of the varieties above referred to responsible
for those held by others. And whatever is erroneous
or wicked in the opinions Of any concerning the mode
of doing right thing, it is not chargabc to the thing
but the unawulness of the mode of accomplishing it
There are many however, who boast of being anti
saveryor opposed to slavery recoil at the tern
Aboitonist as though it were synonymous with derl
They appear to think and feel that it is designation
all that evil and terrible. Hence they deem it ont
of the most mperious ofall their duties to denounc
it every occasion that offers ITSELF express their dis
appreciation of those who glory in Drawing it. Hal
there been civil ecclesiastical laws against the VIC
tins of their dspeasure, there is no reason to beev

The Trade of Politics

writer in the Tribune concludes an article on the
gambling establishments of that city, with the follow
ing ausion to Office seekers and politicians. We
fear the picture is but too true -
We have limited that the gambling-houses Of all
grades are well known to the police, and we ROW re-
peat that there is not an officer nor policeman in the
city who does not know one more OF these places,
and has not in his possession positive evidence of their
true character "We, then, why are they not sup
pressed and their keepers punished according toaw 2"
Soft aud fair my good friend If we could answer
that question SO that the people could see it exactly
as it is, we could revoutonze society and reform the
world We say, in general terms, that all these es~
Establishments contain control r0es-the whole end
aim and means OF Office holders and politlcans.-
There Is, doubtless, an immense amount of private
bribery of officers by the keepers of these and other
unlawful establishments But the great thing IS votes.
So long the party IN power can maintain the ascen-
dency by winking at hundred and fifty notorious
gambling houses, keeping dark about fifteen hundred
public brothes, and licensing two thousand superfiu-
Gus groggeres so long shall look in vain for any
radical and all-embracng system of municipal reform,
commenced for the benefit of the people and carried
out in complete good faith and honor
