WOMEN IN EUROPE.

A Missouri lady travelling in Europe
thus writes concerning the condition OF
women of the poorer classes in the coun.
try: 9 f Is4
In France, Switzerland, and in Aus.
trIa, have seen the fields covered with
women blowing, getting manure, ditching,
working on railroads, and carrying loads
OF dirt or manure ON their heads in BAGS
or baskets. They are so sun burnt as
often to be blacker than many colored
persons, wrinkled and sad looking. as if
they had grown old before their time, and
had never happy feeling. Their miser-
able novels are usually surrounded with
mud and filth, with pig or a COW before
the door, the barn and Westinghouse are
mostly together, scarcely slight parti-
ton Of dividing them. When the poor
women have finished their hard DAVIS
work land this | observed was prolonged
till dark they pick up their children and
go to their comfortless homes. These
people do not own the land they work
upon, and may be turned away when a
new master comes. In witnessing the
poverty and wretchedness Of these lands,
| think of our own country, and the many
comforts enjoyed by all. Even the poor
est are not as miserable as they might be"

Solitary and Alone,

VIM. F. Richie, ESQ.,, one of the edi-
tors of the Richmond Enquirer, has late
ly made an excursion on the Dismal
Swamp Canal. In his account of it, he
says =
1.-THE Canal is broad and deep and ad-
mirably constructed We passed through
the North w stern lock, and in about -
miles uoyqge reached the Feeder" which
reaches Lake Drummond in perfectly
straight stretch Of three miles. The pas
sage through this narrow route is full of
interest. The barge is towed along a
narrow path by hand, and the. low banks
are covered with a rich verdure of reeds,
fern and flower bearing, sweet scented
vines, with tall cypress juniper and gum
trees, growing out of the spongy soil that
floats upon the tangled swamp. AS the
boat dashes on, it disturbs numerous water
snakes from their repose on the oyerhanc-
ing bushes, and Nature, in all its wildness,
reigns in solemn silence, full of soothing
influences. Within half mile of the Lake
we came to lock, tended by Mr.. Hodges,
its keeper, who is solitary in every respect.
He is about 10 years old, with greyish
locks curling around his head, tall man
and Of imposing appearance. For 80
years he has led hermit life in this wild
and secluded spot. No human creature
is ever near him, save on an occasional
visit like ours, and his only companions
are fierce dog, domestic fowls and swarms
of bees that gather sweets from the fra
grant swamp flowers and fill his numerous
hives with delicious honey. 1t produced
a peculiar feeling when we heard this old
man, who wooed Nature alone, declare
that he did not know who were the can
didates for Governor, nor did he care
He is true philosopher. unaffected by
the turmofls Of life and thinking only Of
his bees that supply bis store house with
luscious sweets. One Of our party was
so much struck with the peculiar scene
that he purchased Is gallon barrel of
the old mans pure honey for domestic
consumption"

An Epicure in the Legislature.

A Legislative Assembly, gathered as it
is from all quarters and every profession,
must necessarily include all varieties of
character-an some of most amusing
kind.
Several years since the town of -
saw fit to elect sturdy farmer, whom the
love of travel had never led out of the
precincts Of his native county, to the one
rous post of member of, the General
Court.
Arriving in Boston, our friend being
hungry, and DESTROYS of taking something
substantial for the stomach's sake, found
his way into one of our principal hotels
at the dinner hour.
He sat down to dinner and being re-
quested by the waiter to select from the
bill Of fare whatever he chose, he express
ed desire for some baked beans.
This was brought him, and from the
gusto with which it was eaten, evidently
suited our Representative. The plate was
cleared in an incredible short space of
time, and the attentive waiter was at his
side.
"Will you have your plate changed?"
eyes"
The bill of fare was consulted, and the
guest announced the decision
g I reckon I'll have few more of them
ere BEANS"
The second instalment was not long III
disappearing. Again the question was
proposed
will you have your plate changed?"
"Yes.n
"What will you take?"
=" GU may bring me few more of them
ERE BEANS"
The waiter turned away to conceal a
smile, but did as he was ordered. He
kept an eye on the new hedged Represen-
tative, and by the time his third plate
5 was dispatched the waiter was on his side
with the old question.
$ "Of course" thought he, "he'n want
/ something else this time"
"What dish shall | bring you, sir?"
The Representative took up the bill of
fare and followed up its various items with
: his finger till he came to the end, pro-
cess which occupied some ten minutes
{, He was apparently in some doubt, but III
few moments his face lighted up, and he
said
uou CdIc IL L nave lew more OF
t them ERE beans"
They were brought, and we need not
say, went the way of their predecessors.
