A lady, who signs herself g Use
dame FrG,sc0ise," but writes very
good English, has sent an article to q
New York paper, on the subject Of a
rutnored reform in the dress of ladies
in Europe, the reform consists only in
using a dress Of extreme simplicity for
going to church avoiding the finery
that is proper in driving or at en-
tcrtainments. She says there is moth
lug new in this that a refined French
lady, when she goes to church, gener-
ALLY wears dress Of q quiet, sober
color, aud her bonnet IL the same she
wears for shopping or making calls.
Any other style of dress would 1t once
associate her in the public eyes, with
a portion Of womankind, unnameable
and not habitually found in churches
She farther adds that many American
ladies in Paris are ridiculed tor their
extrovagance in drcss when going to
church. Will our ladies, when they
receive this information, which c:ln BE-

ing himself through. the heart with /.
pistol He was man Of great geniality
and very fond Of telling entertaining
stories. The following anecdote wa,
related by him not long since to g
circle Of amused listeners:
"A young gentleman Of excellen
family was on intimate terms with q
charming woman, who loved him de-
votedly, and who was exceedingly in.
dignant that he did not reciprocate
her own violent passion. One day
when talking to him Of her genuine
and disintercsted love, he listening
and laughing, she all at once rose from
her seat, and, in a towering rage, de
manded what she should do to. prove
the truth of her assertions.
MY dear Leonie,' replied the young
man, never will believe in q, wo
mans love until she shall have killed
herself for me-

window was open. Leonie suddenly

The frightened youth rushed down

lying on the pavement, but t. his grea'

act was left. By providential chance
Leonie had fallen without serious in
injury into the carriage of = rich En-

freqpented shores, are many rich mcr-
chantmen and costly steamers; the
salvage on one such prize would al
most pay for the whole lifting ma
chincry. Besides all this such der
ricks would find ample and remunera-
tive employment, in lifting vessels over
bars, and off shore, in launching great
ships, in unloading and transporting
heavy cargoes from dock to dock, in
hosting boilers, engines and masts,
and in careening vessels for repairs,
and they will have q clear field, and
prove. OF inestimablc value, in raising
sunken rocks, and in erecting marine
structures. Their scope Of operation
is almost unlimited. Coast and river
works ofthc greatest magnitude and
of the most vital Importance, may now
be erected at a cost which would
have hardly purchased the necessary
apparatus, a few years ago, since the
capacity Of these machines is not a
mere dead lift. Locomotlon at a good
speed, great stability in all weather,
enormous pumping power, which can
be exerted great distance from the
engine itself, the universal functions Of
. lifting and swining crane of variable

ofapplication and adjustment, are all
combined in. this gigantic soaking,
whose achievements more than realize

The facility with which are gulled out
Of our money for quasi-religious pur-

apostles Of the jovial order, pleasant
to listen to. They amuse their au-
liences with humorous stories about
the superstitious credulity Of Paddy,
and relate marvels of the results effect
ed amongst them by the efforts of
Protestant missionaries. Is there no
one to be found amongst their hearers
to ask them how it happens that with

its clergy, and State proselyting insti-
tutions, the Catholics of ireland shoe
