The Mount vernon Association.

We learn from Mrs. F. B FooG, Vice Regent for
Tennessee Of the Mount Vernon Association, that
only about 10000 remain to be raised to complete
the purchase money Of the Mount Vernon estate. As
Jet, Tennessee has not raised SIS large a sum as
several others Of the Southern States This fact is
not chargeabe to a lack Of effort on the part of
Mrs. FoGG, who has brought to the work of raising
money an energy and enthusiasm second to none
who have engaged in this patriotic work. Her
whole heart is in the cause; aud we shal be sur
Prised il, Independent Of the merits of the object
for which she lsbors, the gsllanry Of our citizens
and just admiration Of the zeal with which Mrs
FoGa deVotss herself to that object, do not yet
arouse the people of Tennessee to contribution
which shall satisfy even the ardent hopes of this
estimable lady.
We commend the object most heartily TO the pee
pie Of Tennessee. With the details of the plan
which Mrs. Fosa viii adopt to complete the sub
scriptiOn we are unscquainted WhateVer it may be,
it viii be pursued with energy, aud it should meet
with prompt and hearty response.

WIN. H. FRY ON New YoRK.--In recent
lecture on New York, Mr.. Fry said, according
to the Tribune: ....s- lat .g.u !
The ratio of life was decreasing in duration
in this city, beaa1se our government Was In
the hands of ignorance and Incompetence.
We allowed these mon to control the me-
ohanic and fine arts of this country. If New
York would be at the head of the world, she
must shape the policy of the governmsntso as
to foster her manufactures. She must evolve
her own ideas, as well as deal in the ideas Of
other people. We raised more gold than any
other country in the world, but our gold went
to France in search of her manufacturer.
Poverty here was increasing with terrible rs-
pidity. At the rate we were going on now,
every Eve persons would soon have to support
q paupsr. Everything we sent abroad was
bulky, and everything France sent to us was
in highly concentrated form. We did not
exchange on equal terms. The average duty
on manufactured goods imported here was
19H per cent, while the average duty Of
manufactured goods imported into Europe was
800 per cent. This was called free tradei An
enlightened and reformed political economy
would supply labor to the poer. At present,
things were growing frightfully worse.

INDEPENDENT INDUSTRY OF NEW ENGLAND
WoMEN.--The people of New England, and
particularly those Of Massachusetts,, earn mill
lions of dollars annually in various branches
of industry which have been introduced in
modern times. In ono part Of the Common.
wealth, female labor is employed in binding
shees in another district, braiding straw Is the
leading pursuit; in aneighboring county, palm
leaf Is converted into hats and bonnets by
women; and in tho seaport villages clothing
is made by the female residents for large
dealers In Boston. The effect of this industry
upon large scale, has been the withdrawal Of
nearly the whole native force from the faoto-
ries, and the substitution of foreigners in man
ufacturing villages, while in the matter of do
mestic service, the native women have almost
wholly left the field; we apprehend that il
the amount Of the aggregate wealth Of the
women Of Massachusetts could be ascertained,
the sum would surprise every body. They
form large class Of the depositors in Savings
Banks, and there is hardly corporation
within their borders that has not females
among its share owners. The independent
industry Of the New England women adds
largely each year to the aggregate wealth Of
tho community.

LOLA MoHTRz's IDEA OF ENaLlsH GALLANrRy.
LOVE FOUNDED on MAMMoN.--In recent leo
ture on John Bull Lola remarked that In
domestic and social life she found the English
very admirable and praiseworthy. The
love Of money, however, Is great. The
Sootchman would love his bonnie lassie be-
cause'she WAS bonnie. The Irishman would
love bis lass for her beauty and accomplish
ments. But John Bull would rather love her
II she hsd gold In her purse and lands foY her
dover. Observation had shown her every
whore that money inspired Affection The
gentry and nobility Of England for the most
part practiced tho most refined and the most
wicked arts Of gallantry. To win the affeotions
Of young and artless girl and leave her TO
misery was matter Of boasting at their clubs.
At some watering place the villain would
begin his campaign. The poor girl would be
flattered by what my lord would say. She
has read in novels Of condescension ON the
part Of tho high born to love such as herself,
and she expected to become great lady. In
this way she became an easy victim. These
things were the fashionable amusements Of
tho wealthy in England. 1t fact it was q
common pastime with them. She had seen in
New York papers advertisements for wives,
which she regarded as nets only to catch some
foolish girl. To see the reign Of the mighty
god Cupid in all his greatness and glory, they
should visit winter watering-place In Eng
land, where liver diseased people, as yellow
as their guineas, went to recruit their health.
Here daughters, especially such as were some
what passs, were bargainsd off to the old gents
who had returned from tho Indies with gold
and disease. John Bull at home In England,
and Brother Jonathan at homo in New Kns-
land, were the same beings, modified by local
changes.

A SAD SroRY OF Swiss WILD GIRL.--A
Swiss journal has strange story Of. o wilf
girl lately found by woodman Of Saint Mar
garethem, in the Canton of Saint Gall. HI
discovered her lying wretchedly clad and be-
numbed with cold, under some branches, sn{
took her to his house. According to her story
she is the daughter of what are called Heinz
athose parents--a sort of pariahs who belont
to no Canton, and although about eighteen
years Of age, neither she nor her parents hai
ever lived under o roof. Her father not long
since killed her mother in quarrel, upot
which she left him, and had ever since wan
dered about the woods and mountains, living
on wild fruits and vegetables pilfered from
gardens. To explain why she had not beer
discovered sooner, she said that her custom
had been to sleep during the day and Prov
about at night. She knew Of no name be-
longing to her parents or herself, and had no
the slightest idea Of religion.
