Mass NroLEcr.-The Divine Being made
this earth beautiful garden, watered by splen-
did oceans and sparkling rivers, and round about
it he hung an atmosphere pure as the breath of
stainless Innocence. And He implanted in man
faculties for the enjoyment and preservation of
all these glorious benefits. He gave him strong
body to labor, and a sound head to hink-but
He did not give him perverted and brutalised
instinct: He did not multiply and excite his ma
terial appetites until they swelled into a rank
and morbid condition; He did not build cities
reeking with every abomination; He did not
pollute the rivers, or poison the air; He did not
create man and woman ignorant and brutal; He
did not create institutions that make grovelling
poverty and plague-provoking squalor the rule,
instead of the exception; He did not cause US in
any way to neglect ourselves, our education, or
our morals Therefore, when we feel in our
heart of hearts, that he did not do any one of
these things and when we also know that the
cholera may be traced 70 our perversions. to our
omissions, and to our 0utrages Of fixed natural
laws, it must be admitted that it is a weakness
to fall prone upon our faces, ard to entreat the
Almighty to undo that which he never did, or
to ask Him to do that which, in the economy of
His justice, and the eternity of His wisdom, He
knows, and has been telling us every day. for
thousands of years, it would not be just and
wise to do.

V The New York Courier says, the girl dis
covered in boys clothes in that city. acting as
clerk in store, is an adopted child, and that
those who have adopted her are wealthy per-
sons in Philadelphia. 1t gives the following ac-
count of her:
The little girl, Eliza Ann Peacock, as she was
known, had always been treated kindly by her
guardian, and the only reason for the adoption
Of male attire and the course she pursued, seems
to have been desire to go to England and find
her mother, who resides there. The history of
the little fugitive is follows: Eliza is ilegi
innate child, and her parents are said to be
among the nobility of England. She was sent
to this country about seven years ago, when the
gentleman mentioned above adopted her. He
has ever since treated her as if she was his own
child. He sent her to school, where she became
quite accomplished. flate. it appears that she
had harbored secretly strong desire to return
10 her native country in search OF her mother, of
whom she has indistinct recollection. She
left her adopted fathers home with$l2 so which
she had saved, procured suit of boys clothes,
and, on reaching New York, obtained situa-
tion as clerk. IN order to raise money sufficient
to take her to England. Her adopted father,
who spent nearly $1,000 in finding her, will, it
is said, leave her we'll off at his death, besides
which she has the prospect of receiving large
fortuue from her pareuts in England.

WoMAs's MoNosYLLABLEs.-Many years ago,
at private evening party in the city Of N. York,
young lady of considerable pretensions to each
of the highest attributes of woman, wit and
beauty, became engaged in playful repartee
with . gentleman, and finding that she was los
ing ground in battle Of her own provoking, re-
solved on respite by directing the humor of
her opponent into another chapIel, and accord
ing y requested him to compose for her batch
of rhymes on the subject they had just been
discussing.
The following is the result of his labors, which
occupied less than fifteen minutes, in presence of
the assembled company IL s. T. Courier.
The frown of woman-'tis fearful thing;
The wit of woman-shield me from its sting /:
The faith of woman-fragile as her glass;
The face OF woman-mercury and brass;
The charms OF woman-serve to lead astray /;
The eye OF woman-dazzling but to slay;
The head of woman-with strange yagaries
filled;
The love of fwoman-thousands hath it killed |;
The youth of fwoman-foolish, sing-song, Dress
The age of woman-scolding, petfnlness;
The smiles of woman-harbingers of guile;
The tears of woman-chiefly crocodile's,
The heart of womap-hinty, ruthless, cold;
The hand Of woman-bought with lands and
gold
The heels of woman-they who are wise will
shun;
The nails Of women-oft they've made me run:
The tongue of woman-'tis hung in the middle;
The wrath of womap-now III hang ND nv
fiddle!

SPECULATIVE PHILosoPHY.-It all mankind
could wink at the same moment and the mus
cular effort could be brought to bear on one
point, it would be sufficient to jostle the earth
out of its orbit
If all the oaths uttered in the United States
were required to be printed, it would require
all the presses in the country, day and night to
perform the labor; and if a tax was levied on
them OF one cent each, one years revenue would
be sufficient to transport all the mails, lay a
double track railroad to the Pacific, and paw the
public debt of every State in the Union.
The cigars consumed throughout the country
in one year. would make worm fence six feet
high around the District of Columbia; and the
air expelled in smoking them would drive the
Japan squadron round the world, with enough
over to do the windwork Of all the patent med
icines.
II all the elected tobacco guilds were from
this time to be dropped on the dome of the cap.
itol at Washington, the hail of Egypt would be
no comparison 10 the pelting storm, and that ed
lfice would be buried deeper than Ninevah, be-
fore the next meeting Of Congress.
II all the lies told during the last Presidential
campaign could be- boiled together, they would
make soap enough to wash the face of nature.

The BAvARIAN ScHoTTIsCHE.-lhe style of
the Scottische is full of graceful positions, and
has the combined beauties of the ST. Vitus and
Indian war dances, with a strong insnuarion of
an afflicted cat upon hot building materials The
most popular, elegant, and, in fact, the only ac-
knowledged fashion of executing the Schoitische
is this: AS the music leads of, plunge suddenly
forward, with four abrupt jerks of the head to
keep time, then suddenly dart back again.
with the same jumps and jerks Then stand on
one leg, as much like lame duck as you can,
change quickly to the other, and hop round four
times. In this you must take great care to lift
up your legs, as if for instance, Something heavy
had fallen on your soft corn at the time, or boil.
ing cobbler's wax had been inserted in your
boots. The effort is very pleasant to look at
Continue In this way nywhere in the room, but
be certain to whirl your partner until YOU can
see nothing distinctly, for you can never arrive
at the full enjoyment of the Scottische until you
reach the crisis. You then run a muck among
the other Schotishes until you experience a
shock. which will be occasioned by pair Of
teetotums; but never heed that. If YOU should
by change see another couple near you, which,
however, will rarely happen, never stop to try
to get out OF the way that is directly contrary
to the science and etiquette of the Scottische,
