n Word for crinoline.

In the merciless war waged by the
press on hoops, we are glad to see that
there are one or two gallantly standing
up for women's right to regulate the
fashion Of their costume as they please.
For ourselves we would not reduce the
latitude of the graceful contour a single
thread, but we would venture to hint a
wish that they would curtail the longi-
tude just an inch or so, to avoid the dir
ty Office Of street-sweepors.
Prom the Boston Traveller.
WAR ON HOops.-The crinoIino
one of the most beneficial inventions
Of this inventive age, is the object of
ridicule with many persons, who are
continually harping upon the defects
and exaggerations Of the fashion, for
the reason that their mental faculties
cannot comprehend the subject in all It's
length and breadth, or else that thew
wish to appear witty, and, as they have
no wit Of their own, retail the chance
shafts which brighter intellects careless
ly drop in their way. An exchange
paper says it is whispered about New
York that the railroad companies will
shortly call a convention to discuss the
expodiency of levying toll upon crino-
line, The proposition is to charge la
dies sporting hoops double fare in con.
sequence Of the space they FILL" If
this be intended for a joke, it does as
little credit to the mind as to the heart
of the originator; if it is intended for
the record Of an actual intention, then
it only shows that there are a few can
didates for the asylum for the idiotic and
ieeble-minded yet left uncared for
With a certain New York contempora-
ry, we are glad to see that the adoption
OF this healthy and graceful article Of
dress is almost universal and we hope
to witness the day when every Amcri-
lean lady will conform to the custom
The women of the present genera
ton have already reaped immense ad-
vantage from the general use of the
crinoline; and knowing that, they have
dehed ridicule and scOrned newer fash
ions Even the Empress Eugenie, who
unwittingly blessed her sex by making
it the mode, has vainly attempted to
introduce a fresher style. If the la
dies will stand by the light crinolino,
and still dispense with eight out Of the
ten skirts they were wont to wear, the
generation yet to come will be healthier
and stronger, consumption and kind
red diseases of the chest will be fewer
life will be longer, and nature better
fitted for all the duties which pertain
to the wife and the mother in a civilized
community. The New York News, in
ulluding to this subject, pleasantly says:
owe are decidedly of opinion that the
ladies have right to do as they please;
we think, also, they can manage their
own affairs almost as well as we can do
it for them, and in the hoop business we
are ready to acknowledge that they have
shown a great deal of solid sense
Don't give up your hoops, ladiesl Let
men rave, and scold, and stew till they
are tired-you have the right of the
mattor-don't concode a solitary inch
of pavement roomw

Punch's Proverbs.

An Umbrella upon thine arm may
make it ache, but should rain come, the
umbrella will preserve thy clothes
Choose between triAing pain and a
tailor's bill
Other persons were born about the
same time as thyself, ami have been
growing up ever since, as we'll as thou
Therefore be not vain nor proud.
Preserve few secrets from thy wife
for if she discover them she will grieve
not that thou hast kept from her thy Sc.
crets, but thy confidence.
Yet confidence may be misplaced as
when thou goest out in thin patent
leather boots, simply because the pave
ment before thine own door has dried.
The girl who is destined to be thy
wife, although now unknown to thee, is
sure to be living somewhere or other
Hope therefore, that she is quite we'll,
otherwise think politely of her.
Educate thy children, lest one Of the
fine days they educate you in a school
with no vacations
0 how good was nature that placed
great rivers near great towns
A traveller, jourHeying wisely, may
learn much. Yet much may also be
learned by him who stays at home.
An insane person may lie TO thee, and
yet be innocent and thou mays't lie to
him, and be praiseworthy. Now all per-
sons are somewhat insane, but do thou
beware Of lying as a general rule.
Heat expands things, and therefore
in hot weather the days are lengthoned,
Moral heats sometimes expand thy
mind, but they tend not to the length
ening of thy days,
CoG. things are used to cool fever,
yet the over GOODNESS Of friends act
will throw thee into heat
He who always holds his tongue will
one day have nothing else to hold. Yet
it is not good to be over garrulOus.
The Weather-cOck, working easily, can
tell thee the way the wind blows, but if
the Weather-cock sticks, the course Of
the wind will not be influenced thereby,
Remember this.
Virtuous love is wholesome. There
fore be virtuous, to make thyself wor-
thy Of self-love. Not, of course, thou
art prevented thereby from loving some
body else.
A stitch in time saves nine. If there
fore you feel one ia your side, be thank,
full, 0 friend.
Love the moon, for she shines in the
night to give as light, whereas the sun
only shines in day time, when his assis-

BRIDAL GREETINGS.
BY JAMES MONTGOMERY.

by JAMES MONTGOMERY.
Ocean and land the globe divide;
Summer and Winter share the year;
Darkness and light walk side by side,
And earth aud heaven are always near.
Though each be good and fair, alone,
And glorious i'm its time and place;
In all, when fitly pair'd, is shown
More Of their Makers power and grace.
Then may the union Of two hearts,
So early and so we'll begun,
Like sea aud shore in all their parts,
Appear as twain, but be as one.
BE i like Summer-may they find
Bliss, beauty, hope, where'er they roam,
BE II like winter, when confined
Peace, comfort, happiness at home!
Like day and night--sweet interchange
or care, enjoyment, action, rest;
Absence or coldness ne'er estrange
Hearts by uniailing love possessed.
Like earth's horizon-be their scene
or life rich and varied ground;
And whether lowering or serene,
Heaven all above Il and around.
When land and ocean, day and night,
When years and nature cease to be-,
May their inheritance be light,
Their union one eternity!

PERSEVERANCE.

Take tho spade Of Perseverance,
Dig the field OF Progress wide,
Every bar TO true instruction,
Garry outnnd cast nsidei
Every stubborn weed Of Error,
Every weed that hurts the soil,
Tores. whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, whate'sr tho toll.
Give The stream OF Education
Broader channel, holder force;
Hurl the stones Of Persecution
Out where'er they block ils course.
Seek for strength in selr-nxertion;
Work, and still have faith TO wait;
Close the gate TO Fortune;
Make the road 10 Honor straight!
Men are agents for the Future!
As they work, so ages win
Either hsrvests of Advancement,
Or the product Of their sin!
Follow out true culivation,--
Widen Educatiou's plan;
From The majesty Of Nature,
Teach the Majesty Of Man!

RAILROADS IN ONO, - The Editor
of the Cincinnati Gazette, in a leader on
Railroad movements, says, that in this
State we have $500 miles Of finished
Railroad, the cost of which has been
about S9O,OOO,OOO. They employ con-
stantly about thirty thousand men, six
hundred locomotives, five thousand
cars, and consume two hundred and
ffty thousand cords of wood yearly.
Remarking upon the power Of loco
motives, it says that twenty years ago,
it was held that locomotive could not
ascend a grade of more than fifty feet
TO a mile. It has been satisfactorily
proved that a locomotive can ascend a
grade of 200 feet to mile, with a mod
crate train of cars. IF this was not tho
fact, some Of tho most profitable roads
in the country would nothayo been built.

THE AFFECTIONS.

Precious are the kind affections
Which around this lie entwins,
Making earth, with oil its troubles,
Something more than half divine. %
But, alas! they fade and perish,
Like the bright and fragrant flowers,
Sorrow blights, and sin destroys thom,
And their beauty time devours.
'Tis not so with those affections
That are sot on heavenly things;
They will bloom aud flourish ever,
Watered by eternal spring8i
Warmed by everlasting sunshine,
Sheltered from the storms Of EARTH
Ever growing and increasing,
Knowing nought Of drought Or dssrth

/ Ohio Reform School for Juvenile or
Tenders.
One Of The most pruiso.worthy acts
Of the late Legislature is that providing
for the establishment of the "Ohio Re
form Schoor-an institution for the
protection and reform Of juvenile ofTen-
ders The Commissioners under the
law-Messrs Reemelin, Ladd and Foot
ARE attending to their duties with com
mendablo zeal, and have already taken
the preliminary steps for the organiza-
tion and permanent establishment Of the
institaton.
Mr. Roemelin, during the last Sum
mer and Fall, visited many Of the Re
form Schools Of Europe and elsewhere
and embodied in a report to the Logis-
lature a vast amount Of valuable iufor-
nation on the subject; and after mature
consideration the Commissioners deci.

plan and system Of the celebrated Ne.
tray Farm Reform School in France
said to be the model institution Of the
world. The Commissioners have rented
a house in Cincinnati for a temporary
House Of Refuge for the females now in
the Cincinnati House Of Refuge

are transferred to it, one hundred con
vict boys from the State at large can be
accommodated at the Cincinnati House
Of Refuge. This part of the plan, and
an importantpart in the immediate care
and reform of juvenile offenders. will
soon go into operation.
After protractcd ezomination-as
we learn from the Cleveland HyuL-

Of the title by the Attorney General
The Farm is in Fairfield county, six
miles from Lancaster. embraces eleven
hundred and seventy acres, and cost

HON. j. CLANCY JONES.


II is well known that this distinguished Pennsylvania
democrat the recognised democratic leader from that
State, for several years past in the national House of
Representatives, for the noble and patriotic purpose
healing rather of preventing dssensions among the
democracy of his State declined seat in the cabinet OF
Mr.. Buchanan.
Our admiration of the character and talents and
approval of the political course of Mr. Jones' must
be apology f is needed for transferring to
columns the following allusion to him in private letter
from an esteemed friend at Washington
If do not mistake the signs of the times J. Clan
cy Jones has bright future He will he the polar-star
democracy the next Congress. Wherever known he
Is universally held in high estimation Candid and fasci-
mating in his courteous to all though prompt
and decided in his opinions in every of the term
Mr. Jones may lie called great man, whether viewed in
his natural endowments, gentleman of highly pol
ished education and legal requirements Possessing all
these in eminent degree he is ayore of ALL in the
social circle the forum For about quarter OF
tury Mr. j. has shared largely of the friendship and
dence OF the President and it may be said in TRUTH that
he has been the pupil of Pennsylvania vorito son,
and therefore, sound all constitutional questions and

SUFFRAGE TO NEGRO SLAVES.

The address of the democrats Of the legislature pointed
to the proposed amendments Of the constitution repeating
the qualifications of three years residence and $3.50 free
hold title of negroes to suffrage and coupling il with
the liberty bl declaring all persons free who with
in the limits OF the State and with the legislative resou
ons against the United States Supreme Court; character
lied the whole series of San invitation to tho
negro slaves of the South to escape to this State to be in
oorporated into the of voters. =
Does any doubt that this would be the direct effect
of these if in operation The threcyearsres
dcncc clause and $3.50 freehold qualification put
the constitution according to Governor Seward with hu
aud patriotic motives. Repeal them, and invite
and protect the fgves from the slave States by your
kindred measures, and the underground railroad would
bring thousands of negroes here annually who without
the probation cxacted of aliens would at the end year
march to the polls to vote for freedom and free plumber
for partisan corruption, and against the constitution of
the United States and the authority of the courts of
Justice
For what except this do the black republicans
desire open question settled by the direct vote of the
people only six years ago,
The Evening Journal assas the unanswcrabe positions
of the address this point with frowns and Is
colored cotemporaiies will follow the example but the
people, who understand this question, and whom il az
