A young lady, fond of dancing, traver-
ses in the cousre of single season about

One of the sex writes, rather spicily,
''that though few American ladies live
in idleness, the majority as yet work them
selves into early graves-givlng the men
an opportunity to try two or three in the
course oftheir own vigorous lives"
Of the Spanish books, says Monies

SUIrING THE ACTION TO THE Word.
The latest pulpit anecdote we have
seen is the following, illustrative of the
manner in which the celebrated preacher,
Spurgeon, in London, attracts attention
Upon one occasion, he told the assem-
blcd multitude that the way to hell was
smooth and easy, like this said he ; and
he straightway opened the pulpit door,
put his foot over thu banisters, and slid
down as you have often seen little boys
do. He then stopped for moment. and
said, But the way to heaven is hard, like
this;' and pulled himselfup again, which
was rather difficult but the congregation
received this practical illustration with
great applause

AUTUMN SUNSET.

Golden light now fills the air;
Purple shadows now appear
Mountains, bathed in misty color,
Sleep on ground of blood and amber:
Lower stream the setting rays,
Richest light crowns every place
Clouds OF glory float, like incense,
In the days last dying glance.
upward, heavenward goes the light ;
From the east comes leaGen night ;
In.the valley darkness gathers,
From the world all light retires.
In the crimson, flaming eve,
All the day burns slow away ;
And the morrow's holy dawn,
From the ashen misty gray,
In miracle is BORN"

than one. As Tom H od sings Il States.
"Summer's gone and over,
Fogs are falling down,
And with russell tinges
Autumn's doing brown.
Boughs are daily ritied
BY the gusty thieves,
And the book of Nature

POLICE MArrERs.-Two cases came of be-
fore HIS Honor Esquire Mills, yesterday.
James w. Wiltshire made complaint against
one William Culey, for keeping disorderly
and noisy coffee house, disturbing the neigh
borhood, and against the peace and dignity
of the sovereign Commonwealth. A jury of
six true and lawful men," after hearing
the evidence, decided that Mr.. Culey's coffee
house was not disorderly, and the complaint
fell to the ground.
James Hartly filed an affidavit, IN which
he stated that one Tomlinson, a constable of
Pigeon township, had assaulted him in a
"rude and angry manner" z. NJ. P. Carter
appeared for Tomlinson, and the trial, which
lasted couple of honrs, was particularly
rich and racy. Carter displayed legal abili-
ties which make it a matter Of regret that he
should have been defeated for Justice. One
Of the witnesses exhibited o colt which Tom
linson had dropped in tine affray, carried
probably by virtue Of his office as conserv-
ator of the peace. Tomlinson was fined so
and costs.

NEW YORK CITY TAxEs.-The total
amount of the assessables in the city Of
New York, for 1857, is $52l,175,252.
The rate Of taxation is one dollar and
fifty-three cents on the one hundred dol
lars. The whole amount Of tax to be
raised is S7,964. 466. which is double the
amount Of the whole revenue Of the Uni
ted States, during the FIRST years Of Gen.
Washington's administration. The rate
Of taxation is not so high, however, as is
paid in almost all the small Western
cities.
TIE rate Of taxation in the city OF
Brooklyn, which is one Of the suburbs oil
New York, is three per cent. for 1857,
which is the highest rate of assessment
ever imposed in this country.

New PRESIDENTIAL MANsIt

A New PRESIDENTIAL MANSION,
it is said, will be one of the projects laid
before the next Congress. The old White
House is to be preserved for a winter re-
sidence and for Cabinet meetings. The
new Mansion will be located upon some
of the high grounds, in more salubrious
location, in the vicinity Of the city. The
present Presidential residence is dan
gerous to the health of all who occupy it
during the Summer and Autumnal
months, and it is supposed no one will
object to the erection Of the new Man.
sion, except those who are in favor of q
more frequent rotation in the office of the
President than is provided for in the
Constitution, and who desire to make
way with our Presidents as soon as pos
sible after their election. We are likely
to have a gorged treasury, andsas ways
to relieve it must be devised, and as the
erection Of mansion that should deve-
lope the taste and skill Of our architects,
would be the least harmless mode oil
squandering few millions of the public
money, the project is likely to succeed.

THE RIvER.-It will be seen, by reference
to our Geographic report, that the river is
rising at all points above. AT Pittsburg,
yesterday, there was eight feet in the chan
mel, and rising. The river continues to rise
opposite this port. Notwithstanding the
river is in such navigable condition, business
continues dull, with few arrivals. We un-
derstand that the work Of repairing the
Green river lock, at Rumsey, progresses
slowly, and will not be completed for two
months at least. This will be serious in
conven.e nce to our merchants, and will result
in the loss of considerable trade to Evans
vile. There is certainly some one greatly at
fault in this matter.
