A FIRE-E,TER's OPINION OF SOCIETY AT THE
NATIONAL CAPIToL.-The Richmond South emits
a blue flame of fire at Washington society, in the
following manner; "The truth is, society in
Washington is fast sinking under an accumula-
ton of native fOliies and foreign fashions. The
aristoeracy Of the Federal Metropolis are little
better than on association of snobs. Except
among a small and select class of people, one
finds there scarcely q vestigs of the republican
simplicity of earlier times. Everything is sham
and pretension. The profusion of paste and
pinchbeck which dazzles the eye of jenkins is as
genuine as the air of courtly elegance which
excites his enthusiasm. With the Spartan severi.
ty of manner that once distinguished the rerre.
sentative men of this country, have disappeared
the unobtrusive but substantial virtues of its wo,
men. The change is sadly significant Of national
decay.

A LAKE SUPERIOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
excitement and amusement was excited by the
arrival of Hon. Abner Sherman of Ontonagon,
at Lansing the capital of Michigan. lie appeared
in the House with his pack upon his back, dress
in true frontier stripe. lie says the copper lie.

this winter. lie represents the winter to be a
very fine one for business Business is not in 80
crippled a condition as in the Lower Peninsula,
When hs left Ontonagon the snow was about
three feet deep. he travelled on snow shoes about
200 miles. On the eighth Gay he reached Warsaw
ON the Wisconsin river. Here he took the stage
to Stevens Point. The next day he arrived at
Berlin, on the Horizon railroad, thence to Mil.

MIND YOUR STOPS.

Riding in a railway car, not long since, our
eyes CHANGED to light upon a little book in the
hands of one of the passengers, which he seemed
to be intently studying. As he lifted it somewhat
nearer TO his face, we saw the title, "Mind Your

to tho young men. Setting out as you are young

earnestly and emphatically, "Mind your stops" =

LOLA MONTH"; IN THE ToMBs.
ORIGINAL VIEWS or PRISONS AND CRIME,
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
Lola Montez, in company with Mr.. and Mrs,
Hoym, Of the Stadt Theatre, visited the Tombs at
IL o'clock to-day, and went through the male aud
female departments of the prison, conversing with
some of the most conspicuous prisoners, among
the rest the murderer Canoemi, The swarthy
face Of the Italian lighted up with pleasure when
she saluted him in his native language with kind
ly tones and expressions of sympathy.
10 the ladies and gentlemen who accompanied
her in her visit, Lola expressed herself freely as
opposed to the entire prison system. IL wish,"
she said, that my preaching or teaching, or what
ever you choose to call it, might demolish every
prison in the world. | can show by statistics
drawn from the legal records of Sardinia and 9TH
err countries in every age Of the world. that crime
has decreased ia proportion as capital punishment
and other rigorous penalties have been abol'

"But," suggested a gentleman, ''howevor desir.
able it may be to abolish prisons, it is impossi-
sible unless you abolish crime"

"and crime will abolish itself"
But would you allow the criminal to 20 at

women the necessity Of avoiding crime, But l
hold that every criminal is Insane. If he were
not insane, to a certain extent, he would not do
wrong. | would have them all placed under the
care of intelligent guardians, and have them all
treated as insane persons. Why is 1T that men
who commit murder and other horrible offences
are sent to the Asylum when they are known to
be insane We all know that this is done, and
that such persons are often restored to reason. /

TEE RIVER TIME.

A wonderful stream is the river Time,
As it runs through the realms Of tears,
With a ~faultless rhythm and a musical rhyme,
And u broader sweep and \ surge sublime.
And blends with the ocean OF years.
There's a musical isle up the river limo,
Where the soitest of airs are playing:
There's a cloudless sky aud u tropical cline,
And a song as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the tunes with the roses are strayiug.
And the name Of the isle is the Long Ago,
And We bury our treasures there,
There are brows Of beauty and bosoms of snow,
There are heaps OF dust, but we love them so!
There are trinkets aud tresses Of hair.
There are fragments Of songs that nobody sings
And a part of an infants prayeri
There's q lutte unswept and a harp withou
strings,
There are broken VOWS and pieces of rings,
Aud the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fair,
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbulen
roar
Sweet voices we heard in the day gone before,
When The wind down the river is fair.
Oh. Remembered for aye be the blessed isle,
All the day of life till nighte
And when evening comes, with its beautiful
smile,
Aud our eyes are closing in slumber awhile,
May that Greenwood of soul be in sight.

The CHRISTMAS OF 1857, IN ENoLAND.-A plate
Of raspberries was gathered on Christmas eve, in
the open air, in the garden of Mr.. John Wood. of
Kingsthorpe, near Northampton. Ia our more
northern county of Durham. we hear from our ru
rural friends of simple birds that have built their
nests in the hedgerows. An old farmer who had
four ploughs at work in the field on the 2Sth ult.,
said he had never known such weather, his land was
in April order. On Saturday a brown linnet's nest
was found at Newbiggin wagun'way with four
young ones and on Monday a sparr0w's nest was
found with four eggs in it. Whinbushes are ev-
cry where in golden flower. Pansies and Polyan'
thuses are reported by our Sunderland correspond
ent to be in full blow in his locality, On the Goth
wild strawberries were gathered between Slildon
and Sedgeield. Women were gathering 'wiokens"
On the Both, near Durham. A hedge sparrow's
nest, with four eggs, and the old bird sitting on
them, was found on a farm at Barlow a few days
ago and at the same time the polyanthus was
blooming atRyton and the woodbines were ready to
blow. A picnic party left Gateshead in an open
conveyance on the last morning of the old year
At night there came a nipping frost, and the earth
was boar on New Years morn but the day
was delightful-at once sharp and summery.-

Wide was bis cure the houses far asunder,
Yet never failed he for rain or thunder,
Whenever sickness or mischance might call,
The most remote to visit, great or small;
And staff in hand, on foot, the storm to Draw
This noble ensample to his flock he gave.
Tho holy in himself and v~irtuous,
He still to sinful men was mild and piteous !;
Not of reproach, imperious or malign;
But in his teaching soothing and benign.
To draw them on to heaven, by reason fair
And good example, was his daily care.

AND
1Dutnam's Mtontblp.

The Union Of EMERSON'S MAGAZINE and
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY has given to the consol-
idated work a circulation second to but one similar
publication in the country, and has secured for it
a combination of literary and artistic talent prob.
ably unrivaled by any other magazine in the
world. During the first month. the salo in the
trade and demand from subscribers exceeded co.
600 copies, and the plumbers already issued Of the
consolidated work are universally conceded to
have surpassed, in the richness OF their literary
contents. and the beauty and profuseness of their
pictorial Illustrations, any magazine ever before
issued from the American press. Encouraged by
these evidences of favor, the publishers have de-
termined to commence the new volume in January
with still additional attractions, and to offer such
inducements to subscribers rs cannot fail to place
it, in circulation, at the head Of American Maya.
zines. With this view they now announce the
following splendid programme. They have pur-
chased that superb and costly stecl-plate engraving,
"THE LAST SUPPER"
and will present a copy of it to every three. dollar
subscriber for the year 1858. 1t was engraved at
a cost Of over 5000, by che late celebrated A. l..
Dick. from the orr FINAL of Raphael Morghen. after
Leonardo Da Ninci, and is the largest steel plate
engraving ever executed in this country, being
three times the size Of the ordinary three-dollar
engravings.
The first Impressions Of this engraving are held
at $40, and it was the intention Of the artist that
none of the engravings should ever be offered for
a less sum than SIS. being richly worth tina,
amount. Thus every three.dollar subscriber will
receive the Magazine one year--cheap at Sand
this splendid engraving, richly worth S. thus
getting for 50 the value Of So.
We shall commence striking off the engraving,
Immediately. yet it can hardly be expected thai
impressions Of so large a plate can be taken off a,
fast as they will be called for by subscribers. W,
shall, therefore, furnish them in the order in which
subscriptions are received. Those who desire t.
obtain their engraving early, and from the frs
imr ressions, should send 10 their subscription
without delay. The engraving can be sent Oh

scribers shall order.
