their seats. Our friend respectfully raised his
eyes from the fair form he had been so earnest.
ly scanning, lest whensshe looked up, she would
detect him staring al, her. After o couple ol
seconds he darted fnrtive glance at lis char.
mer and was astonished to see her still on her
knees he looked closely, and saw that she was
much affected, trembling in violent agitation NO
doubt from the eloquent power of the preacher.
Deeply sympathizing, she watched her closely.
Her emotion becams more violent; reaching
her hand behind her,4she would convulsively
grasp her clothing, and strain, as it were to rend
the brilliant fabric of her dress. The sight was
exceedingly painful tobehold, but he still gazed,
like one entranced, with wonder and astonish-
ment. After minute. the lady raised her face,
heretofore concealed ID the cushion, and with
her hand made and unmis istakable becken to our
friend. He quickly moved along the pew to-
wards her, and incliheIshis ear as she evidently
wished to say something
"Please help me, sir" she whispered, "my
dress has caught, andA CAN'T get up" A brief
examination revealed the cause of the difficulty
the fair girl wore fashionable high-heeled shoes /;
kneeling upon both knees these heels of course
struck out at right angles; and in this position
the highest hoop of heSAiew tangled skirt caught
over them, and thus ndered it impossible for
her to raise herself Of, straighten her limbs.
The more she struggled the tighter was she
bound so she was constrained to call for help.
This was immediatelysif not scientifically rem
dered, and wien the next prayer was made, she
merely inclined herself. upon the back Of the
front thinking, no doubt, that she was
not in prayiilg coStuns.

The Richmond Wing says: A few Sundays

our fashionable churches. lie was kindly shown
Into luxuriously cushioned pew, and had hat d.

his ncighbors, before Il beautiful young lady en-.

When hymn was given out she skilfnlly found

heart humping, handed her neighbor the book
The minister raised his hands inprayer, and the
Gair girl knelt, and in this posture pcrplexed her
friend to know which most to admire, her beau

was concluded, and the congregation resumed

SENATOR SIMMER IN EUROPE.

Poor Sumner! the disgrace he incurred from
the castigation lie deservedly received from the
lamented Brooks, stick to him like the shirt Of
Nessus. He is degraded man, fallen from his
once high position, and regarded by all with
that aversion which we naturally feel towards
one who has forfeited his position as brave,
sensitive, and honorable man. His destiny IN
this respect, is irrevocabiy fixed public opinion,
in both hemispheres, has pronounced his doom,
and it is as irrcver>ible as decree Of fate. lie
can never recover bis position-lost by his own
folly and cowardice Of spirit. Submission, then,
and silent suffering from allignominous reputa-
ton, constitute the cruel necessity under which
he must henceiorth live. Unworthy, degraded,
and oiious as he is, who is there that can help
contemplating his sad fate, with a subdued and
melancholy feeling No generous or msgnani-
nous spirit can rejoice over an enemy who IS
PROSTATE and undone for ever.
Mr.. Walsh the able and distinguished foreign
correspondent of the New York Journal Of
Commerce, informs US that poor Sumner was in
Paris. He had been there fortnight or more.
Mr.. Walsh states that he had seen him only
once. and then lie was passing with rapid strides
on the Rue de Rivoli. lie says that English
gentlemen who have seen him, and been seated
near him. in the Galignani Reading Room, re,
marked to him (Mr. Walsh,) that they. had
been struck by his large stature and athletic
frame; they could discover no traces OF I'll
health We may therefore conclude that ne
has completely recorrred. The Partisan journals
had taken no notice, whatever, OF his arriTal,
nor had he been announced in any way. Mr..
Walsh states that there is al attempt by some
Americans to get up dinner for him, which he .
thought would result in failure, majority OF
them concluding, that Tho less ecIat and ditiu-
sion Of the knowledge OF our domestic disSen.
sions, the better, Mr.. Summer had left his card
at the residence Of Mr.. Mason, our Minister at
the Court of St. Cloud. Mr.. Mason, from mere
courtesy, Lad caused bis card to be left at the
hotel OF the Senator, but there the matter end,
ed. An exchange Of cards was all that occurred
between them.
In this, Mr.. Mason has acted with strict pro,
prety. AS the american Minister, he could
not well do less, but as an honorable man, and
S,uhe.ner, he could not do mOre!-columo'a
