Daring Outrage.-The New York Courier and
Enquirer received, from an authentic source the
following account Of an outrage attempted at the
Conven, OF the Sisters of Mercy in Houston ST.,
New York:
About 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, the 22d
inst, sister Monica, sleeping in the room the
second floor of the Convent of Mercy, Houston st.
aroused from sleep by hearing the handle of
her door turned. 1t was fortunately locked, but
the medicine chest being IN a room adjoining hers,
and she having been called upon for medicine a
few nights before, Zone OF tho young women of the
House of Protection being suddenly taken ILL., she
thought at first 1t was similar application, and
inquired who it was. No answer being returned
she said aloud she would not open the door until
an answer given. The handle of the door
was at intervals turned in silence, but at length
the question being repeated, WI no is there o. a
voice Replied, =" 1t is l." The tone was similar
to that of Mr.. Hart, the servant man of the con-
vent that she asked, t" Is it Mr.. Hart !" He
piled, 1t is.'' The Sister then asking, "What
do you want % He said, {" | want to speak to
you'' Sister Monica at once concluded either that
he was i'll, or that some alarm had occurred in the
basement, where he slept, and that he applied to
her as the nearest, before alarming the house,
She consequently, partly opened the door to speak,
when a man rushed violently against her, and
threw her on the bed, with evident intent Of the
worst outrage. She struggled and screamed vio-
ently, hoping that her cries would bring her aid.
At first she was unheeded the sisters, above stairs,
thinking the cries proceeded from the street; at
length sister entered with candle. which start
ling the rufian, sister Monica was able to escape
from him before he had perpetrated his wicked
designs. The police, hearing her screams, rang
at the door to assistance, and being admitted,
with the help of the servant man, secured the viii
lain. 1t appeared, upon examining the premises,
that he had entered the convent by breaking the
window at the side of the basement door, Mr..
Hart recognized him as a man whose wife being
i'll, and in extreme poverty, had been visited BY
the sisters in the winter. They administered re-
lief and comfort to the utmost Of their power to
the family, removing them to comfortable lodg-
ings, paying the rent, procuring them stove, and
other necessaries.

Circassia helping Hungary.-A hopeful fact
for the Hungarians is the success of the Circas-

mounlaneers are now vlctors on the Russian from

were never misunderstanding with the speed Of

Russian hts como to dread Circassian campaign

tain death is before him. The siroc is not more
fatal TO the desert traveller than the sight of the
Circassian to the Russian. What vast armies have
been decimated at the bases and among the steppes
of those mountains. Legion after legion has pc
rished there, leaving no monument but their
buried bones. The journals at St. Pe.ersbtirgh
are silent. The military gazettes breathe no word
of the awful sacrifice of soldiers in vain attempt
to subdue people who never were conquered.

A Correct Idea of Liberty.--Burke's idea Of
liberty is capital. He says, "Men are qualified
for civil liberty in proportion TO their dsposl-
tlon their love of justice is bove their rapacl-
ty; in proportion as their soundness and sobrlety
Of understanding is above their vanity and pre-
sumption; in proportion they disposed to
listen the counsels of the wise and good, 10 pre-
ference to the faltery of knaves. Society can
not exist unless controlling power upon the Will
and appetite is placed somewhere; and the less OF
it there is within, the more Of it there must be
without. Il is ordained, III the eternal constltu-
ton of things, that men Of Incorporate minds
cannot be free. Passions forge their feIters."
Political Interrogatorie5.-A number of voters
of Hopkins county, KY, have addressed series of
questions to of their candidates for the Logs-
Iature, among which the following:
Are you in favor of the next War!
Do you believe the Irish camo in the San,e
boat with Noah =?

Adams apple.

Where is the baby? Bess its heart
Where is muzzer's darling boy?
Doesit hold its little hands apart,
The dearest, bessen toy?
And so it does; and will its little chin
Grow just as fat as buttera
And will it poke its little fingers In
Its tunnin little mouth, and mutter
Nicey wicey words,
Just Like title yaller birds?
And 50 it will, and so it may,
No matter what its pappy nanny say.
And does it wink its little eyeses,
When its mad, and up and crlses'
And does it squat like ~chickadees
At everythin' it sees!
Well it does! why not, pray?
Amt it muzzer's darlin evey day?
Oh! what's the matter? oh my! oh my!
What makes my sweetest chicken ky!
Oh, nasty, ugly pin, to prick it
It's darlin muzzer's darlin cricket!
There! there! she's thrown it in
The fre-the kuel, licked pin!
There! hush, my honey; 60 to seep,
Rocked in a kadle of a deep!

REASONS FOR PREFERRING IT.
AS a Ladies' Magazine it stands upliyalled, III
authors being the best in America, and it's content.
original.
As a Fashionable Monthly it is first: iis fashions
being the real Philadelphia and New York ones
but issued in ddUance.
As Family Magazine it is invaluable. To rem.
der fiction useful is the great aim Of the work; hence
its domestic stories are pronounced by the press and
the public unequalled in truth and merit.
AS Pictorial Work it is without a superior; more
superb mezzotints appearing in it than in any other
periodical.
For C~heapness and Merit Combined it has no
parallel. At two dollars we furnish a periodical
rivalllng the three dollar ones in elegance, and inf,
nltely more useful f0 the sex. Onr success in this
reduction OF price is owing TO q rigid adherence to
the cash system and to payments in advance from
all subscribers.
TERMS.
These are cheaper than any other magazine can
offer: Two dollars a year invariably in advance
