navy, visited the Constitution, then just new
at Boston, for a Mediterranean cruise. He
went through the ship, accompanied by Captain

that your wheel is one of the clumsiest things

1t seems to be the highest ambition of the

belle of the ball. To achieve this vain dis
tinction she dresses and undresses with the
sole aim of showing off her finest points ::
without regard to comfort-not to say modes
ty. Charms which nature intended as domes-
tic secrets, sweet and precious are publicly
exhibited in all their naked loneliness and
prOfane eyes and tongues are permitted to
revel in unmuslined mysteries, sacred to po-
etc reveries and lovers dreams.
The extreme decollete fashion of dress
this barring the bosom to the breeze of pub
lie breath, is a dissertation of the highest form
Of beauty that the Divinity has yet revealed
to man. 1t robs woman of her most ETHEREAL
charms, by cheating the imagination of its
divinest allusion. The enchantment vanishes
as the reality becomes transparent, and the
goddess no longer floats in roseate robes of
clouded splendor, but sinks from high Olym-
pus to the plains mere flesh and blood
shepardess of common life and common clay.

Man VS.. Horse.

Last week, trial of strength came off at
Burscough Bridge, under the following cir
cumstances 1t appears that wager of a
quarter cask of ale had been made between a
welI-known wheelwright Of the neighborhood,
and brewer from near Ormskirk, that ten
men could not draw load Of stone up Burs-
cough Bridge, which pair of horses had
previously done. The wheelwrigbt backed
the men, and the brewer the horses. On the
day appointed, the horses brought from the
quarry, for the use Of the Wigan and South
port Railway, load of stone Of about so cwt.,
weighing, with the cart, upwards of three and
half tons. This load they took to the top
of the bridge and down again. The worthy
wheelwright now marshaled the force, consist
ing of nine stalwart young men belonging to
the neighborhood. A cross piece of wood firm
ly fixed to the shafts, supported by as many
of the men as could attach themselves to it, the
rest either dragging or pushing, and in this
manner, cheered on by the acclamations of an
immense crowd, they dragged the ponderous
lead up the bridge with the greatest ease, the
knight Of the wheel thus winning the wager
with one man less than his stipulated num-

Crows can Count Three.

A few months since we were riding in a
stage-coach with several gentlemen, when the
conversation turned upon the subject of crows,
and many interesting anecdotes were related.
One gentlemen said that he knew crows could
count-at least as far as three-for he had
often proved it. Being troubled with crows
in his field he had often attempted to shoot
them. But they knew what a gun was as
well as he did, and therefore kept out Of his
reach. He then concluded to put up small
booth, and place some carrion-a dead horse
within gun-shot From this place he sup
posed he could fire at them when they alighted
to eat Whenever he entered the booth, the
crows would all sit on the distant trees, and
not one Of them would come near till he was
gone. Then all would alight except the SEN
tinel, who remained to give warning if danger
approached.
The gentleman finding this plan to fail
thought he would deceive them. So he took
his son with him to the booth, concluding
that when they had seen one 60 away, the
crows wonld think the coast was clear, and
descend to the bait. But when the son had
left the booth, crow sung out car, ca,c, car,
There goes one,) but not crow would leave
his place.
The next day the gentleman took two per-
sons with him to the booth, and let them
depart one at time. The crows on the tree
sow the first. and cried out there goes ono
in their own peculiar dialect; then the other
went, there goes two, but they would not
alight, for they had counted three when they
entered.
The day following the gentleman took three
others with him. When they went out, one
by one, the crows cried, there goes one =
there goes two - there goes three And
when these men were out OF sight they al
alighted, and the gun Of the fourth man did its
work.

Precious wIT.-There was some uncon-

in the reply which little girl--a pretty,
bright child, not quite four years old-made
to her father. She was annoyed at some old
shoes, which she was anxious should be re-
placed by new ones, and was venting her in
dignation in rather a more boisterous manner
than her father thought proper. What's the
matter there, Cora, have you got fit!'
No, papa, they don't fit me at all, said
she. And then she enumerated all the faults

The gentleman stated that this thing had
been tried repeatedly, and it was evident that

Yea the great end of life's tobtain

Footsteps of Angels.
BY W. II. LoNGFELLoW.

When the hours of day are numbered,
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul, that slumbered,
To holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the fittul freight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved, the true-heartei,
Come to visit me once more.
He, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,
BY the roadside fell and persisted,
Weary with the march of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands SO meekly-
Spoke with us on earth no more.
And with them the being beauteous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else, to love me,
And is now saint in heaven.
With a slow and noiseless footstep
Comes the messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazcs at me
With those dark and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so full and saint-like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits voiceless prayer;
Soft rebukes in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips Of air.
Oh 4! though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
Ii l but remember only
Such as these have lived and died.
