The insult offered to Mr. Soule, our Minister to
Spain, was the remark OF the Duke of Alva, in re.
ference to the wife Of the Minister-'there goes
Mary Of Burgundy" The remark was impairment
and illbred-but really compliment. Mary OF
Burgundy died, Bayle says, martyr to her modes
ty, preterring death to revealing the nature OF a
hurt she had received by a fall from horse

DISASTERS AT SEA

The New York journals give sad accounts
sfshipwreck by the late gales. Some of the
finest vessels have been totally lost, then
rich freights swallowed blythe hungry waves
and their more precious cargo of human be-
ings strewed along the rugged coast. The
month of December is a most fatal month to
mariners in our seas. Few landsmen have
any idea of the hardships and perils which
sailors endure, especially in the winter sea
son, and upon bleak and dangerous coast
The decks and rigging slippery with ice, the
driving showers of cutting and freezing
sleet, the cold waves deluging everything and
everybody on board, the ship groaning in
every timber, and, to cap the climax, the cry
of Breakers Ahead" These are some of
the dangers and sufferings which seamen fire.
quently encounter on our coast, often follow
ed by death in one of its most terrible forms

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER

The Messenger for January is an excellent
number, and begins the year with degree OF
vigor and animation which gives happy au-
guries of the future. 1t opens the campaign
of 1854 brilliantly. We admire Mr. Thomp-
sons irrepressible enthusiasm and indomita-
BILE energy in his noble enterprise. The
cause of Southern letters has in him cham
pion of whom it may well be proud. We
hope to be able to notice the contents Of this
number more particularly hereafter. We
were much pleased with the editors account
of recent visit to Henry Ward Beecher's
puritan meeting house in Brooklyn.
This is a good time to begin subscriptions
to the Messenger. The Southern public
ought to give it universal support. Its in,
trinsic merits ought to recommend it to litera-
ymen everywhere, and its Southern and ele-
waited tone enforces its claims peculiarly upon
the Southern people.

WOMEN AND THIN SHOEs.-Incredible
as it may seen in this age of light and
knowledge, and improvement, there are
ladies who walk out and make calls in Their
gaiter boots with only thin paper-like
sole betwee the susceptible, sensitive
body and the cold, damp earth We
heard lately of transgression of this
kind, in which case the retribution was
immediate, and promised to be regenera
tive. Unfortunately for the cure of this
reckless exposure to health, the effects
generally are Of slow operation-and the
tendency to colds, or rheumatism, to
headache or other arrangement, the penal.
ty visited upon such folly, is ascribed tc
the climate, or to other providential cir
cnmstances. An ounce Of precaution il
worth pound of cure, and those ladies
who are silly enough to adhere to thai
ridiculous habit would do well to consider
that present appearance will not compen'
safe for an early decay Of beauty, whict
will surely follow. lo''soiizg@ szaz. "a 81.
