INSIDE OF A PALACE

A glimpse OF the inside of a palace of The
King of Sardinia was given in the Ledger Of
saturday, and is given in life colors BY the
correspondent OF New York paper, which
dazzling as lis, only furnishes a wholesome
lesson 10 tho lover of his specimens against
the pomp, magni6cence and frivolity that is
purchased AT such an immense cost OF life,
misery, vice, poverty, famine and degreda
tion. How many families does the bed

the most gripping wan.--ihe most wre,ched
deprsvity? Is not every Jewel tha, sparkles
on his Kingship's crown, every diamond that
adorns the person of the Queen, obtained al
a sacrifice of blood and tearsl Blessed be
the simplicity of republican government
thrice blessed is the sublime economy of this
popular democracy, whose only State pomp
is eloquence, freedom and equal rights. No
wonder Lycurgus coined his money of iron
mo wonder the Greeks hated iyrants--no
wonder Sparta fed her legions on black broth
when the pride. luxury and lust of man
bounds so wantonly over the barriers Of JUS
lice and rights TO indulge in regal vices that
unman his nature, and make him an object
of haired to the poor, contempt to the wise,
and compassion to the gentle. But the pic
ture of the palace is not complete, for when
the writer had drawn the royal chamber,
glistening with gold and jewels, he should
have proceoded 10 the prison, and gfysn us
Daguereo;ypes Of its squaIid victims, its
sadder tenants, its revolving fruits of all this
dazzling magnifcence. Short is the time,
however, that is DOW allotted to these pala
ces to shire oyer the dreary scene of popular
bondage. A spirit is abroad, even in Italy,
that must redeem tue race from this last
of feudal degradation. Cheap and
simple governments must everywhere super
sede these agony. piled monuments of pride,

A few evenings since we slipped our arm

the velvet banks of Catfish. The full orbed
moon was urging her way through starry
ether, and the stream meandered like vein
of silver until it lost itself IN the bosom ol

WHAT THE GIRLS ARE DOING

Says the american Union, 1--WE doubt if i,
be generally known to what an extent the
manufacture of straw bonnets is carried on
in Massachusetts,. Some of the choicest
work produced in America, in this line, is
said TO come from the hands of the girls in
Framingham, Holhston, and Foxborough
in this State. A very extensive trade is be.
ing carried on also in this line, in Medfield,
Franklin, and other towns, in that vicinity
The value of straw bonnels made in Med
field, for instance, in single twelve months,
was over Si3o,OOo. This year, upwards Of
a hundred young ladies are employed there,
at braiding this material, and the average
wages earned in the business is from five 10
seven dollars per week. This is large pay,
for the services of young woman, aud we
rejoice that they are able TO earn such hand
some compensation for their labor.
In the town of Foxborough, l3 8. .654 straw
bonnets were made IN one year, valued al
$l22 900. The value of the same article
made in Franklin in one year was 100000
These bonne:s find their principal market

character which are imported.
We often wonder says the Maii, that
females in the city, who sew for song a
day, do not go into this business, and make
