it is difficult to devise remedy:

THE Two BRorHERs.-It is not many
years since two young men, without
means, started in life. They were both
brothers, and both printers. And both
Democrats. Both subsequently abandon
ed their professionalism having earned
public confidence in the editorial chair
aud since then they have pursued almost
the same career, and. though residents
in different States, seem to have gonesto'
gether, filling nearly the same public Po-
sition, and winning all hearts by the en-
tie suavity aud study consistency OF their
character and conduct. Both are sill
young men; end yet it is more than ppb-
able that both will, in few months, tise
to :he Gubernatorial chairs of PSbnsyl-
vania and California, the California of the
Atlantic. and the Pennsylvania of the Pa
cifc. The brothers alluded to, are VIM.

of the Democratic party i'll each. The
parallel will no doubt be completed when
each is, as each will be. chosen to fill the
posts for which they are candidates.
Their past history is guarantee they
will go on, with equal march, and un-
faltering devotion, in The ful6lment Of their
high duties.
There is in this picture much of en-
couragement to the poor young man.
Both of these Brothers, Bigler. started in
life without money, aud almost without
friends. No academic honors crowned
their earlier manhood--no luxurious iIah-
its enervated their frames-no wealthy
friends encouraged their first essays in

fought with no weapons but those fur

The New FEMALE CoSTUME.-Mrs.
G. O. Smith delivered a lecture in New
York, on the evening of the 6th inst. on
dress and its relations, both hygienic and
social, with reference to the present and
future fashions. We find tae following
report of it in the Herald;
Mrs. Smith. after making some prelim.
inary remarks, said that ladies should, at
least, consult their comfort and health
that one cannot exist without the other
but at present woman was the creature
of sunshine, and she sacrificed all TO pre-
vailing fashions and conventional forms.
We understood her then to say, that
there was philosophy in dress as 10 other
things; and that It should he observed
that the dress now coming into use was
adapted to all kinds Of weather. and it
was especially adapted to- outdoor pur-
poses: bot said she. let my sisters, by all
means, preserve the long robe for parlor
purposes; for the sake however Of their
comfort, and for the sake of humapity,
let them adopt the new style.
Ia articles of dress, it is time THAT wo-
men should begin 70 disenlhral them
selves from vulgar customs and think FOR
themselves, at least in articles of dress,
and consult their own comfort and hap
piness. and, l may say, the happiness OF
those who come after them, even though
they should, for the present. be sneered
at by the press. The costume now be-
ing introduced is adapted TO our institu-
tions. "Why should we" said Mrs.
Smith, scare for what is worn in profit
gate courts? We should seek for what
is healthfuI. and what will contribute to
our comfort, and adopt it. We, the
daughters OF this Republic. why should
we be the slaves of foreign fashions? =
Applause. Let us come near to some
thing that will contribute to our comfort
and health. It. would be curious (said
she) to investigate the laws which have
precluded women from assuming the
manly costume. but, perhaps it woald
be found to- arise from the different Or
ganization of the sexes. Here she ad.
mltled that there should always be dis.
tinctive character in the costume OF the
sexes.
She then Went on to describe the va
rous fashions Of different ages, and their
Inconvenience and danger TO health
But you. saiG she, aud addressing herself
TO the ladies. have no right to destroy
Gods handiwork It was a duty they
owed not only to themselves, but to their
posperity, to adopt whatever gave the
freest action to their limbs. AS YET we
are the slaves of fashion and custom,
which was IN some measure to- he attrib-
uted to miliners and tailors. We must,
said she, have dress easy of adjustment.
Such a one as a lady can put on without
calling in the assistance of her neighbors.
Mrs. Smith then recommended the French
hat and Turkish trowsers, but not so
short as 10 transform a woman into fig
urante. Over this robe Grecian jacket,
which may be adapted to the taste and
| wealth of the wearer. Such dress
would give grace and elegance to the
| person, and she who wears it would
| walk with more ease and breathe freer.
Public opinion was in favor of them, and
they should take advantage of it. Mrs.
Smith was loudly applauded during the
delivery of several passages Of her ad-
| dress.
