This angel-woman, whose noble nature
and self-sacrifcing humanities have shed
such lustre on her sex and country, has
returned from the scene of her labors,
and, with the unobtrusiye modesty which
is the beautiful accompaniment of genu-
inc virtue, is at her fathers countryseat
in Hampshire, discharging all those du-
ties which belong to the daughter of an
English squire. At evening, she and
her only sister, in every way worthy to
be SO, may be seen, in simple straw hat,
vending their way through those pleas
ant lanes whichmake Hampshire beauti,
ful, carrying to the cottage of some poor
sick peasant both bodily and mental
comfort. As they pass, the laborers al.
ways lean upon their spades, to send
blessing after the dear, sweet ladieg"
and if the prayers of the poor can make
smooth the path to Heaven, their pass
age there will be swift, indeed. Mr..
Nightingale, who is one of the leading
Unitarians of England, is universally re.
spected for his noble character rs an
English gentleman, of which be is the
highest and purest type. The family
have for years been on terms of the
closest intimacy with that of Lord Pal.
merston, whose country seat is within
few miles of the Nightingales, end
they have been for years in the habit OF
encouraging jointly all manner of raral
sports. In the mean time, the fund to
be devoted to the sacred object of sup.
plying nursing to the sick. continues 70
increase, aud thirty-6ve Thousand pounds
sterling is already subscribed. At
Balaklava, too, a beautiful cross has bsen
built to her honor by the relatives of
those whose last hours her gentle ming
tering had soothed.

A THRILLING SCENE.

A sub marine diver from Buffalo has
at asst succeeded in raising the safe of the
American Express Company, which was
lost when the steamer Atlantic was sunl
off Long Point in 1853. It will be re-
collected that this steamer was instant
ly sunk by collision with propeller
and that large number of passengers
were lost. The diver was protected by
copper armor, and was under water forty
minutes, during which time he had some
strange adventures.
The upper deck of the steamer lies
one hundred and sixty feet under water
and far below where there is any current
or motion. Everything, therefore, is
exactly as it first went down. When
the diver alighted upon the deck, he
was saluted by beautiful lady, whose
clothing was well arranged, and her
hair elegantly dressed. AS he approach
ed her, the molten of the water caused
an oscillation of the head, as if graceful
ly bowling to him. She was standing
erect, with one hand grasping the rig
ging. Around lay the bodies Of sever
al others as if sleeping. Children hold
ing. their friends by the hands, and
mothers with their babes in their arms
were there. In the cabin the furniture
wa sstill untouched by decay, and to
all appearances had just been ar
ranged by somo careful and tasteful
hand.

e" Pop goes the weasel ~ has
become the chorus of thousand snatch
es of song, but not one of a thousand
who sing it ever heard of its origin.
But its parentage is as easily traced as
that of an Englisg baronet. A famous
Methodist preacher, By the name of
Craven, was once preaching in Virginia,
and spoke as follows: There ar q
great many professors of religion to-day.
You are sleek, fat, good-looking, yet
something is the matter with you. Now
you have seen that which was plump,
round, and good looking to the eye, but
when weighed, you found it only came
to forty five or perhaps rty-eight
pounds to the bushel, when it should be
sixty-three pounds. Take kernel of
that wheat between your thumb and fin
gel, ,ghold it up, squeeze it and pop goes
weevil. Now you good-looking profes-
sors of religion, you are plump and
round, but you only weigh some forty
five or forty-six pounds to the bushel.
What is the matter? All when you are
taken between the thumb of the law
and the finger of the Gospel, held up to
the light and squeezed, out pops the
whisky bottle !'' From "pop goes the
weevil," to "pop goes the weasel" the
transition is easy.

EG lafayette sent for hogshead of
earth from Bunker Hill, to be placed
over his body at his interment. The
selectmon of Boston received the appli-
cation from his agents. It was taken
from the spot where General Warren
fell, and accompanied by a certificate
that it was +" genuine" signed by three
of the oldest Yetorane in the town.

themselves against undue familiarity,

is the guardian angel of maiden life,

and our eyes are becoming used to such
fast sights.
The ancient definition of the term
"laay" is entirely too far behind this
fast age to be understood or appreciated
1t used to be,-one who can wait on
herself, sing plain musical English /;
leaves the piano in such "a state that
it can be used again; cook for the fam
lily if necessary; milk the COWS and
bake and brew, and is neither Mortified
nor ashamed, if, perchance, the flour of
tho dough-tray should adhere to her
fair arm. Now, for the new and latest
definition of the term lady" A live
doll, made to be waited on something
that can draw operatic discords from a
groaning piano; her voice on the key
adopted by the locomotive; smatter
French, and murder the liquid Spanish,
never saw kitchen-would be fright
ened to death if compelled to milk the
Durham, and is Immediately seized with
fit of the horrors at the bare mention
of raw dough. By the way, she is uni
versally not so in their absence.
During the revolution, when our
grandmothers were caring for the wound
ed, preparing provisions for the distant
army, aud performing their various per-
ilous enterprises, what think you would
have become of our modern lady of fash
ion-had she been there !? Surely she
would have had to lay off the hoops and
whale bones, otherwise she could never
have reached the kitchen table nor the
bed of the sick and if come upon or
suddenly surprised by the British, she
could scarcely, alas make good her es-
cape, even though the door stood invi-
.ingly open. But if bones, sea- grass,
and starch were impervious to powder !
and beil-aht then cur ladies would |
have been safe enough.
As to the occupation of a modern la
dy it consists of nothing of more inipor-
tanee than lying on damnsk sofas, or
loungiug on luxurious chairs, engaged it,
tie =tudy of ball and party costume
pursuing the last new novel, or sosne
scheme for captivating the wealthicst |
young man of her acquaintance. The

Nor are the absurdities of fashion con.
fincd to the femiGine gender alone. The
lords of society, notwithstanding theiI
unmerciful criticisms of our fashions
have others of their own equally absurd
and ridiculous. Like Adam, when he
ate the forbidden fruit, they do net
counsel US otherwise-but right willing
ly do they follow the example which is
set them.
A word in reference to their ridicul,
of hoops. If they will turn to the his
tory of costumes about the time Of the
marriage of Louis XIV, they will see
that as the women laid them aside the
men took them up and Turkish trows-
ers, with hoops in them, were all the
rage. Indeed they went SO fer that
hooped trowsers were worn On the stage
in the presonation of ancient Greek he
roes and roman gladiators. Not con-
tent with this, they wore hoops in the
long skirts of their coats. Their coats,
like the ladies' bonnets, became smaller,
until within very recent period, when
they again began to enlarge, and now
" the dandy of the day" is seen with a
coat skirt long enough to have suited the
taste of pilgrim father.
From hat to boots, every article of
the gentleman's dress has undergone
change after change; why should they,
then, find fault with the fickleness of a
lady's fashion? A long time ago, boots
terminated in sharp point; and during
the reign of Louis XIV, the heels were
only three inches high; and, notwith-
standing their Inconvenience, they were
worn VIII d perseverance noiSn "a =
stole. Gradually the toe-points became
shorter and shorter until they assume
their present form of stump-toes.
Rufies, like those worn in l776, are
again making their appearance, and By
ronic collars will supercede the head sup
porters which have caused the gentle
men SO much trouble in having their
ears insured. Their hats, too, have not
been exempt from the common lot
They have passed through h every medium
of size and shape, until the style of hats
are as numerous as the faces they shade
and the hatter's advertisement might
be closed with" No two alike"
The gentlemen are as much of a walk

and jeweler, as the fair sex are of the
latter dry goods merchant and the mil
liner. The fast young man would moi

CORES pondent of the Trinity Times.
On the 18th of July, they fastened the
American flag to the top Of a tall
pine; We do not know how it may
be with others, but the language Of
this unknown writer sends the blood
shiycring through our veins it is Il
inspiring rs minute gun at sea, and
We print it for its intrinsic beauty:
have seen uhat flag sent alofc
from the deck of many gallant ship
and heard broadside after brOadside
poured out in national salute TO its
honor. | have folloced that flag for
many Il weary mile, in the heart of
an cnemy's country, and through try
iny scenes, always with feelings of
deep devotion, amounting almost to
alteration but, as | am living
man, never with feelings so profound
as those which filled me on that occa-
sion. As gazcd upon that sacred
emblem of our country's greatness,
| read lesson there. 1t spoke to
me in language far more potent than
anything that words can say. 1t told
me that the men who raised it there
were true to their 'country-true to
the Union, and true to themselves.
Although removed far distant from
the land of their birth, and despite
of fanaticism and cries OF disunion
that ever and anon reach us from the
Atlantic, that their hearts still beat
true to the Union. 70 those worthy
miners, who, in their patriotism, plac-
ed the emblem of our country where
it now so proudly floats, l say, keep
it there, and every morning, as you
behold it, take new hope for your
country-swcar upon its altar eternal
fidelity to the Unlon-cternal hostlh
ty to fanaticism and disunion- And
when you return to your humble
homes at night and lay yourselves
down upon your humble cots, and re-
turn thanks to the deity for the bles-
sings You now enjoy, forget dot to
add prayer for your country, and
let it be. "Thc Union--oh, God the
Union, let it be preserved" When
you rise in the morning, and greet
the rising sun, and return thanks to
God for being permitted to behold the
light of another day, forget not to
add the prayer for pour country,
