 WHIPPED TO DEATH-A colored chld living near heyport, Monmouth county, New Jersey, died very suddenly week or two ago. and subsequent iin'esugatlon, the Newport Standard says, proves that she was actually ,rhipped 10 deafh York An plegate, in whose house the child died. has been committed to Jail, to answer the charge. The girl was oiiy four years old. A subsequent account says:-' The child was kept about half starved ana on the morning of her death Applegate gave her shocking beating, after which he went to his work ADout II o'clock the child was found dead in bed, with crust of bread in her hand. One of her wrists was broken. It is supposed that he held her by one hand while he beat her. and that the wrist was broken by twisting lit. Applegate does not deny the act, and as one of the reasons for its commission that the childs board was not paid
 In Paris, the style of the First Empire has been revived The ladies' dresses all show tendency to that fashion. The fol- lowing is a description of an evening cos tune of that period
 "The dress loose muslin robe drawn up and festooned at the ght knee so as to show the whole ot the leg The robe passed under the left breast. winch was left entirely naked, and was fastened above the left hip. Both arms were nake from the shoulder; their length was relieved only by two bracelets The effect of this dress shall not at tempt to describe, but the gentlemen allowed that It was fascinating in the extreme. The ladies have dispensed entirely with the chemise as the folds of 1t, they say prevent their elegant shapes from being seen; and the taffeta robes they wear suited to display every grace in the most striking manner''
 The following, from California paper, the Tuolumne Courier of 24th October, gives news of some Arkansans who left this State last spring.
 THE IMMIGRATIoN-The emigrants from the East, who are upon the road, as readers are aware, Tn immense numbers, are slowly working thelr way through this Tart of the State. More or less of these trains pass here every week. One from Arkansas, bound for Tuttetown, passed through city on W Wednesday last, under the charge of Mir. Clark, who left Jackson county, Ark 5th April last. He informs us that he saw thou sands of wagons on the road, with immense Quan- titles of live stock. Mir. Clark had no trouble with the Indians.
 Farmers of Arkansas, read the following and think of wool at eight dollars pound. 320 acres of land can be bought in Arkan- sas for $40, provided it be for actual set clement or cultivation. This would sus- tain drove of sheep whose wool alone would sell for thausands of dollars. Think too of goats so valuable that the weight of one in silver is refused for 1t!
 WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN SILvER.-Hon Joseph Morton, President of the Morgan County Agrcul tural Societ, few days since rendered to the agent of the '' Cashmere Shawl Goat Company" of Ten nessee for one of the pure blooded Cashmere goats, it's ,.lf pany will part with the pure bloods at any price, The seyen-eighths blood produces the wool which commands S0 per pound in the market. The following is the form of the oath administered to limbs of the law in Massa- chusettG before they are admitted into prac tice
 "You sole nnlv swear that you will do no false hood nor consent to the doing of any in cOurt you will not willingly or willingly promote any false, grOundless unlawful suit give your aid or consent to the same; you will delay no man for lucre malice; but you will conduct yourself in the office of an attorney within the courts according to the best of your knowledge and discretion, and with all good fidelity well the your clients-so help you God!''
 We find the following in red hot abo- lition paper of the North.
 "OH.I AM TIRED OF BEING so PooR.''-ssI have little in Baxter street, sir: it is good enough perhaps. If the door were nailed up bit, where the last tenant broke it.

The landlord is fair man, but when ask him to repair the room hesays he forgets it. He remembers when the advance ss due true enough. l wish, sir, could get place to scrub or work, that I might four K shil lings a day. I can make from twelve to eighteen shillings week sewing, but pay the rent and buy candle, bit of soap, few pennyworth of sugar and tea, and when the month is past. haven't a cent left My daughter Mary Is sickly, and the doctor says she will have the consumption if some thing is not done. What can do sir? am willing to work. On. I'm tired of being poor. (The poor widow burst into tears) Icannot make poor mouth. I never a beggar But am tired of being poor! No, sir; have no shoes One of Us must have the shoes, myself or the chlld, and paid fifty cents to buy Mary the shoes. l have these rubber Overshoes and they do very well; but there is a hole in the bottom, and my feet wet. (After hunting a while we found pair of shoes, and gave them 'to her.) May God bless you. sir. You are very kind to the children, and thank you for it. The lady gave me this dress last fall, and 1 have it whole and clean now. 1 do not drink, and try to be economical. If we have bit of bread and tea try to be gratefal.' A simple story, but true story every word of it. The widow is honest and hardwOrking. Many dreary, desOate nights and days of drudgerv, with the future pre- senting no assurance of better days to come, had u;erv banishei hope; and with tears she exclaimed, z Oh, I am tired of being so pOor Ye that dwe in ceed houses, and sleep away on beds of down and surfet of eating ye realize what that expression meansP'
 How earnestly this poor creature pleads for the privilege of laboring for a pittance. In all the cities of the North thousands of like cases may be found. Now, while the eve is glancing over these lines there are child ren crouching over embers and crying for food, hundreds dying of consumption on beds of straw with no comforts and without actual necessaries. In the city where this woman lives are thousands whose cases are more pitable than hers. Dying of hunger and cold, seeking for relief from their mis- cry in artificial stimulus which is cheap, while all things useful are dear; selling themselves and their children for bread, and in most of the cases willing to toll night and day, if thereby an honest living can be obtained. Such is white slavery And the abolitionists turn from this wretchedness to make inroads upon the South and weep over the sleek and merry black slave. The white man dies at their doors of hunger and cold, while the money that would re- lieve him is spent for Sharpe's rifles, revol. vers and bikes to make war upon the South This is northern philanthropy In this connexion, read the following stirring lyric written by dweller in hne of these cities where 1t Is a death-crime to be poor: ALONE IN THE CITY. Streets, streets--a nation, city full Terraces palaces-Lord, how they grow.
 Wealth and prosperity. that's the true variety Moneys the secret men scramble to know,
 Maadlin's religion and overspun charity Glorious show.
 Men, men-a terrible multitude.
 Heedlessy, hastily. onward they flow, Civilization remodels creation,
