A REELEcT1oN.-It should be remembered,
that every loathsome inmate Of penitentiaries
and state prisons, was ONE a gentle, ,inohensive
and prattling child; and that every Thought
less criminal who has expiated his crime upon
the gallows," was once pressed to a mosher's
heart, and drew his life-gising .nourishment
from her bosom. Bad moral training, wrong
influences, and debasing examples doiheir work
and transform endearing offspring into feroeous
men, who shock humanity by the fonlpess Of
of their guilt and the monstrous aadacity Of
their crimes.

TThe case Of Professor Webster has been
even more generally discussed by the English
periodical press thanin thiscountry. Certain
ly the leading Journals and magazines have
given il much more attention there, than the
same class have done here. The North Brit
ish Review, for the current quarter, makes il
the subject Of long article, in whieHthe facts,
testimony, confession. &c, are given at length
The Review thinks that the murder was deli
berate and premedtated. We believe that as
general thing, The British periodical press
gives the details of criminal intelligence much
more fully than the American. A murder, or
any great crime, is made the theme of leading
articles day after day, and in divorce suits tes-
timony is spread beforehe public by the Times
and other leading Journals, which would be
excluded from all but the very lowest class of
American newspapers. Yet the English press
puts on very lofty airs when speaking Of the
depravity and recklessness Of American jour
nals.--New York Courier.

GREAT BusTLE AMONG THE FEMlNNEs.
Miss Webber, is out, boldly and ingeuiously
recommending the male attire as the "most
appropriate yesture for single females. She
adduees authorities to prove that, in early ages,
men and women dressed precisely alike; and
that the distinction in dress which now exist,
"was arbitrarily drawn by the male sex, in. the
tyranuical exercise of power which they derived
solely from the greater physical superiority"
Her plan is to restrict girls to their frocks
until the completion Of their education. Upon
their entrance into society, they are to dress
precisely like males Of similar condition, and
continue to wear male attire until the day of
their marriage. Widows, at the end Of the
mourning season, are to resume mems apparel,
unless they are determined never to mar
ry aS nafect, this is scheme to dis
ting cable females from married
Woa ned widows. Regarded in
this sat least one merit, ard may, on
thataaa laia the friendly countenanee of
the bachelor fraternity. 1t would save them
vast deal of trouble in aseertaining the do
nestle rank of a new lady acc quaintanee, and
prevent them from committing the now conf
