Ladies Bonaas.-"Stella," il her Suburban

some pertinent illusions to the present style
Of ladies' bonnets. She says:
They are running the eyesight Of all who
wear them. The rays OF the sun come direct
aly upon the eye. and the victim squints, wrin-
kles up her forehead, sheds a few natural tears,
q and hus ries on TO the shade Of the nearest
building 10 give her eyes a moments rest. No

A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

The most beautiful and affecting incident /
know associated with a shipwreck is the follow
ing:
The Governor, an East Indiaman, homeward
bound, goes ashore on the coast of Caffraria.
1t is resolved that the officers, passengers, and
crew, in number one hundred and thirty-live
souls, shall endeavor to penetrate on foot, across
trackless deserts infested by wild beasts and
cruel savages, to the Dutch settlement at the
Cape of Good Hope. With this forlorn object
before, them they finally separate into two par.
ties, never more to meet on earth.
There is a solitary child among the passeu.
gers, little boy of seven years old, who has
no relation there-and when the first party is
moving away, he cries after some member Of it
who has been kind to him. The crying of a
child might be supposed to be little thing to
men in such great extremity-but it touches
them, and he is taken into that detachment
from which time forth, this child is ssublimely
made a sacred charge. He is pushed on lit
tie raft across broad rivers by the swimming
sailors, and they carry him by turns through the
deep sand and long grass, he patiently walking at
all other times-they share with him such putrid
fish as they find to eat-they lie down and wait
for him when the rough carpenter who becomes
his special friend lags behind. Beset by lions
and tigers, by savages, by thirst and hunger,
by death, in crowd of CHASTITY shades, they
never-oh, Father Of all mankind, thy name be
blessed for itl-desert this child. The captain
stops exhausted, and his faithful coxswain goes
back and is seen to sit down by his side, and
neither Of the two shall be any more beheld
until the great last day--but, as the rest go Oh
for their lives, they take the child with them.
The carpenter dies of eating poisonous berries,
eat in starvation--and the steward, succeeding
to the command of the party, succeeds to the
sacred guardianship of the child.
God knows all he does for the poor baby.
He cheerfully carries him in his arms when he
himself is weak and ill--how he feeds him when
he himself is griped with want-how he folds
his ragged jacket around him, lays his little
warm face with woman's tenderness upon his
sun-burnt breast, soothes him in his sufferings
sings to him as he limps along, unmindful of his
own parched and bleeding feet. Divided for a
few days from the rest, they dig grave in the
sand, and bury their good friend the cooper

who constantly misrepresented them on that
subject. But what do they gain by substtu-
ting the new for the old parties? An oath is
more binding than ordinary party attachments,
in causing its members to vote for the nominee
of the party.
My faith has hitherto been unlimited in the
belief that the people Of this country were fully
capable of maintaining and improving their
liberties, believing that they possessed sulh-
cient amount Of selfrespect to preserve in a
measure their individuality, and that they would
gradually advance, until ultimately they would
arrive at that time which l.. NJ. Child so fer
vently prayed for, when she exclaimed, Oh,
that people would learn to think for themselves,
and act what they thought" This desire of
hers accomplished, and all would be SAFE But
if any considerable number of the people shall
continue to submit to such degrading ritual,
| shall be forced to confess that there is more
danger of their liberty being wrecked than
had supposed.
