WHERE Dr.. BuRDsLL SPENT THAT FRIDAY EVE
N1Na.-The Pittsburgh (Pa.) Union publishes the
following important statement from highly res
pectable citizen of New York, visiting in that c-
y, which points in still another direction for the
murderer Of DR.. Burdell:
"while crossing the river on ferry boat, but
few days aftor the murder of DR.. Burdell, was
accosted by man who claimed to be familiar
with the sporting characters Of New York, and the
conversation naturally turned upon the all-absor-
bing topic of the murder. When alluded to the
fact that public opinion had pointed out Eekel
and Mrs. Cunningham as the murderers, the gen.
tleman said:
When the Coroner shall have ascertained the
Whereabouts of DR.. Burdell from the time he is
reported to have been last seen, till he returned
to his house in Bond street. then he will have q
clue to the murderer. 1 am NOT At liberty TO use
names, but from reliable informatiou which |
have received, there can be 40 doabt that DR..
Burdel spent the early part of that fatal night in
q well-known gambling house down town-that
be left for home with about three thousand dol
lars Which be had won-and that he was closely
followed BY the loser.

The furnace erected under the new patent of

Turning the COWS away;
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parlor chairs.
Brushing crumbs from the pantry:
Hunting for eggs at the barn,
Cleaning turnips for dinner,
Spinning stocking yarn;
Spreading the whitened linen

Ransacking every meadow

Rinsing the pals and strainer,

Driving away the flies.

Music in every tone,
Beauty in form and feature,

Cheeks that rival Spring roses,
Teeth the wilderness of pearls
One of these country maids is worth

PollfcnosS and Truth.

Many persons plead a love of truth
as an apology for rough manners; as if
truth was never gentle and kind, but
always harsh, morose, and forbidding.
Surely, good manners and a good con.
science are no more inconsistent with
each other than beauty and innocence,
which are strikingly akin, and always
look the better for companionship.-
Roughness and honesty are indeed
sometimes found together in the same
person; but he is a poor judge of hu,
man nature who takes i'll manners to
fe q guaranty Of probity of character,
OF suspects a stranger to be a rascal be-
cause ne has the manners Of a gentle~
man. Some persons object to polite
ness-that its language is unmeanine
and false. But this is easily answered,
A lie is not locked up in a phrase. but
must exist, if at all, in the mind ofthe
speaker. In the ordinary compliments
OF civilized life there is no intention %
deceive, and consequently no falshood.
Polite language is pleasing to the ear
and soothing to the heart, while rough

consumption of Wood not to exceed one-half a

PettiCOat S%uSDenderS.

We give Madame DE Capln'S own
description ,ofthis admirable invention,
which is so plain hat the most distant
ofour readers may be benefited by it
"The petticoat suspender, then, is
made Of linen, contille, or any light
material, as the wearer may desire. It
is about FIVE inches wide, and must be
fastened to the corset, and form 4 part
Of it, and must always fit the lower
part and, by doing so, carry the whole
of the bands and strings which usually
compress and enlarge the waist entire
ly over the hips. 1t will in this a s.
form a base of support to the whole of
the under>clothing, and distribute the
weight on the parts best adapted to
bear it. The hook which invented
some years ago, and which has now
come into such general use, was in
tended to accomplish this end, and to
some extent it has done so; but IS
strings were still necessary, the object
was but partially accomplished. The
strings are, however, no longer neces.
sary with the petticoat suspender; for,
by sewing three rows Of buttons into
it, the petticoats are buttoned on in
tiers one over the other, and are thus
kept in their proper position.
"The advantage of this continuance
will be at once perceived by all who
have paid the least attention to the art
Of addressing SO as to avoid iniuring the
body by any undue pressure upon the
thorax and abdomen, and by those also
who seek to display the grace and
elegance of the female figure, and pre-
serve the beautiful, undulating lines
of the waist; for, by making the curve
gradual, as is done by the petticoat
suspender, the waist has the appearan~
-ce of being small, without that cutting
to which it is usually subjected. This
/ take to be a matter of great imports
ance to those ladies who will appear
slender, whether nature intended them
to be so or not. The suspender, if
properly constructed, will do away
with the necessity of crinoline dress
improvers, or hoops, and, by throwing
the under-clothing properly off the
hips, give ample sweep to the lower
parts of the garments, and accomplish
every object for which these articles
were invented.
"My original intention was to regis~
ter the article, and to reserve to N.Y.
self the exclusive right to manufacture
it. Upon second thoughts, However, l
abandoned the idea of making a mos
nopoly Of a simple and useful article OF
dress, which has been adopted by eye~
ry lady that has seen it. l hope all
who have read this have fully under
stood my description; if they have
done 50, they are at perfect liberty TO
make the article, either for themselves
or others. The only thing that | ask
is, that those who adopt it will, in JUS
tice, give me the credit Of the inven-
ton"
