Short Dresses.

Brevty is said to be- the soul of wit, and
certain Mrs BLooMER, of New York, seems to
think it equally advisable for ladies' skirts. We
find the following reference to her precepts and
practice on this subject, going the rounds of our
exchanges
SHORT DREssEs.-Mrs. Boomer, editor Of the
Lily, has adopted the "short dress and trowsers,"
and says in her paper of this month, that many
Of the women in that place, (Seneca Falls,) OPP
pose the change; Others laugh others still nre
in favor; and many have already adopted the
Dress" She closes the article upon the subject
as follows:
"ThOse who think we look "queer," would
do well to look back few years, to the time
when they wore ten or fifteen pounds Of petit
coat and hustle around the body and balloons
on their arms, and then imagine which cut the
queerest figure, they or we. We care not for
the frowns of over fastidious gentlemen we
have those Of better taste ard less questionable
morals to sustain us. If men think they would
be comfortable in long, heavy skirts, lei them
put them on--we have no objection. We are
more comfortable without them, and so have
left them off. We do not say we shall wear
this dress and no other, but we shall wear it
for common dress md we hope it may be-
come 80 fashionable that we may wear it at all
times, and in all places, without being thought
singular. We have already become 80 attached
to it, that we dislike changing to long one"

eB- The Harrisburg (Pa) Union, fires this
shot into canting organs, that are facing both
ways:
TwADpLE.-It has become quite fashionable
for cess6in journals in writing about the Fug-
tive slave law, to declare most emphatcally that
they are in favor of the faithful execution of the
law, to follow up this declaration with dis
course on the duty Of obedience to the law, and
to ornament the whole with fervent expressions
of devotion to ourglorious Union; and, then, to
wheel round and write antislavery diatribe, and
torture their imaginations to depict the shackles
and lashes, the groans and suffering that attend
the condition of bondage in the South. This is
twaddle, and is the mush-molly mixture of wear
and vasclating brains,w who have not the hrmness
and independence to expose either side. We
like the man ''who faces the music" and marches
up to his work, not the sneaking creature who
is afraid to avow his opinion and only give utter
ance to unmeaning platitudes that concede every.
thing and controvert nothing.

Spectator, is as applicable now, as it was then
When Sir Roger de Coverley was school
boy, feuds ran high between the Cavaliers and
Roundheads. This worthy knight, being then
STRIPPING, had occasion to inquire which was
the way to "St. Ann's-lane" Upon which the
person to whom he spoke, instead of answering
his question, called him young Popish cur"
and asked who had made Anne saint" The
boy in some confusion, inquired Of the next he
met which was the way 10 AIMS lane, and, in
stead of being shown the way, was called
prck-eared cur, and told she had been saint
before he was born, and would be one after he
was hanged. "Upon this" (says Sir Robert)

ton, but, going to every lane in the neighbor-
hood, asked what they called the name Of the

There was great excitement at IIa-

So confidently was such an event an
ticipated, that for the week before the
Ohio left, the troops were ordered to
sleep on their arms, and to he ready to
march at Il moments warning.
A foolish report was in circulation
at Havana and generally believed that
the cause of the failure of the Ohio to
arrive in season, on her trip from New
Orleans, was that she had been dctain.
ed 10 bring out an invading force SO
great was the excitement on the arrival
of the steamer, that hundreds of people
were waiting on the mole, eager to get

were apparently much disappointed
when the steamer passed quietly along
to her moorings without the slightest
demonstration having been made.
