How TO tell a LADY.

Ten women shall get into an omnibus,
and though we never saw one Of them be-
fore. we shall select yon the true lady,
She does not utter when gentleman,
handing up her fare, knocks off his hat,
or pitches it away over his nose nor does
she receive her "change," after this or
HIM incOnvenieut act Of galaniry, i'll grim
silence. She wears no lloweIed hrocade
10 be trodden under foot, nor ballroom
iewelrv. nor rose tinted gloves. bnt the
lace frill round her face is scrupnlo1sly
fresh, and the strings under the chin have
evidently been handled only by dainty
fingers. She makes no parade OF Ia watch
if she wears one nor does she draw off
dark, neally-fllng glove to display oslen-
tarious rings. Still we notice, nesting in
The straw beneath us, such trig little
boot, not paper snled, but Of an ani-con-
sumption thickness the bonnet upon her
head is of plain straw, simply trimmed,
for your true lady never wears "dress
hat" in an omnibus. She is quite as civil
10 the poorest as TO the richest person
who sits beside her, and equally regard
fu Of their rights. lfshe attracts alten-
ton, it is by the unconscious grace Of her
person and manner, not by the ostena-
lion of her dress. We are quite sorry
when she pulls the strap and disappears /;
if we were bachelor we should 60 home
TO our solitary den, with a resolution TO
become a better and a-married man.

Woverton, Nd, March /, 1859.
Messrs. Editors.-An occurrence has
Just transpired here which clearly shows
the fearful influence of Roman Catholic
priests over members Of that church, as
well as their bitter hatred Of anything like
Protestanism.
young lady hamed Mary Carey, OF
Irish descent, has been living he;e with a
family, the members of which attend
Protestant houee of worship. Miss Ca
rey, of course went with them to meeting,
and seemed, after a while, 10 see the fol-
~ OF Popery. As soon, however. as her
parents heard Of the matter, they deter
mined TO put a stop to such heresy. So,
the sister of Mary was induced 10 watch
her, and hence, a few nights ago, while
Mary was In church, he. sister went in
and iorcibly removed her, at the same time
using the most unladylike language. and
beating her shamefully. The prosecuted
girl took refuge in friends house and
refused TO 60 home. This enraged her
parents very much, and so frantic were
they that The neighbors rallied in defence
of The gid and protected her. Her father
had large stick with him, and long
knife. which he repeatedly hourished,
saving thsi if the girl ever gets into his
custody again. he would soone, follow
her TO her grave than 10 have it said that
she iefl the Romish Church. The teiu,
ded parents are still hanging about, max.
ing awful threats. The girl will proba-
blv 90 before a magis!rsIe to-day, and
seek prolerion al law. Great excite
mpnl prevails, and there IS some talk Of
Lynch Law. u. II. d.

Four Men to be Hung.

The Governor Of Maryland has fixed
the 18th of March for the execution Of
Peter C0rrip, who will be hung at the
same time, and on the same gallows,
with Gambrill, Crops and Stephens.
The death warrant was lead TO Corrle
Monday. The Sun says:
After the sheriff had concluded, the
prisoner remsrked-"Well, know my
doom. The Governor has given US a
very short day ; he ought to have given
us longer time. He ought 10 know that
men brought up like we were would re-
quire long lime TO get into the right
way. 1t was like taking up young mules,
which require long time to break" "
The sheriff replied that as the time was
short there was the greater necessity for
making the best spiritual use Of it, Cor
rie then again said :-"'fhe Governor
ought to have given us longer sine"
After u few more words, in which the
sheriff told him that lie would be made
comfortable while he had to live, the Off
GERS bid the condemned man farewell and
retired. While speaking Corrie's voics
BETRAYED great emotion, and he was agla-
ted. and has fearful dread of his ap-
preaching fate. The hanging of four
men al the same time, and on the same
galows, never before occurred in this
city.
