THE LADIES OF PHILADELPHIA, BOSTON, BAL
TIMoRE AND NEW YORK; Burleigh," the
respondent of the Boston Journal, writing from
Philadelphia, March Z, says:
''In no one thing do Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore much disagree as in ap
pearance of the ladies they walk out the
daily promenade. Boston and Philadelphia
somewhat alike. The dresses of the ladies
rich but not snowy. In Philadelphia the staid
Quaker look abounds. The ladies are intellectual
looking, but plain. They all have pale, sallow
look, if raised in the shade; and rs body they
are far from handsome. pretty woman on the
sidewalk of Chestnut street is a rare sight. But
Baltimore is flooded with beautiful women. 1t
may be in the ciimate-it may be from the style
of dress-it may be because they-no matter what
but the ladies of Baltimore drift along Baltimore
street in droves of beauty, while the decided
snowy and often gaudy colors worn attract atten
ton; and this Is not i'll or two instances but
dozens and dozens pass you all OF one style OF
beauty, and the eye is dazzled with the numbers.
But the ladies of New York are heterogeneous.
The crowd that floats along Broadway is immense; ;
but two look ake-no two dress alike. The
rich the poor, the BELLE the domestic the native,
the foreign, the elegant, the homely-all mDgle
and blend the picture that one only vast
mass of moving creatures having no distinct form
or character. In dress the New York ladies
load themselves, and the ornaments cum
brous and not elegant. If they wear plumes they
load themselves down like an ostrich. If they
put OH furs, they pile them up till they seem like
porters carrying home goods. If they put on Jew
elry, they wear it as if their husbands manufac-
tured the article. and it was needfu for them to
become stand from which it is to be displayed.
The same is in the dwellings, where the gau-
diness OF the steamboat and the tinsel of the cir
Gus seem to be the standard of taste adopted
The New York ladies could learn a lesson that
would be of great service to them from the LADIES'
of Boston Baltimore.

Fsury We in the Decp.

Bury me III the roaring deep,
Where the raging winds do roar;
Where the waves. their nightly reYeis keep,
And beat against the shore.
Give me a grave in the lonely Deep
Where naught can distract my rest;
Where the waves will faithful oigies keep,
That foam above my breast
Give me grave in the briny deep,
Where the raging winds is heard
That the lone sea gull, as she Ger me sweeps,
May chant my funeral dirge.
There, alone, in the briny deep,
Let me undisturbed lie
Until the last loud trump shall speak,
To cali me up high.
Then from my watery grave in the deep,
My renewed form shall arise;
Rash through the waves that around me leap,
To my distant home in the skies. =

ORIGINAL POETRY.
IndicatTo-. Of the Age.

By Lac -. EGGLEsToN.
Seas of knowledge on are flowing,
Burning errors footprints deep;
Friendship, love and truth are glowing,
Mighty in their glorious keep.
Moral sun and stars are b4aming
In the galaxy Of mind
From the urn of truth is streaming
Intellectual dews, refined.
Onward, potent and resistless
Rolls improvements lofty car;
Genius, eagle -wing'd and restless,
Sweeps the realms of thought afar.
Thrones are falling, crowns do tumble,
= AS is heard the shaking sound
Ancient fanes of error crumble
Into ruins oil around.
Ancient systems are exploded;
Creeds go dowr unless they're true;
Justice comes with sceptre loaded,
Bright with mercy's silver dew!
In the halls of legislation
Mercy's thrilling voice is heard
Milder grow the codes of nation,
AS her golden wings are stirred.
Prosecutions dying embers
Fade with superstition's night;
Bigotry is sunk in slumbers,
Shorn forever of her might
Heavenly pity, sweet and hopeful,
Leads her train of graces bland;
Dark revenge has ceased to open
Her black portals in our land.
Pure Christianity is waking
From her sleep Of ages long,
And her followers are taking
Lessons in her endless songi
List a harp is softly ringing
On the pure aurorol gales
Lo. 'tis Charity comes bringing
Treasures for her heavenly palcs.
Pure Religion in our borders
Elevates the human soul,
And extends her hallowed orders.
Where the waves of truth do roll
Oh! we witness indications
OF an age foret, Id by seers,
Wnen Gods law among the nations
Brings Adeipha's" golden years.
Tl.en all hearts shall be cemented
In the bonds of love divine;
Man, no more by sin demented,
In Gods image aye shall shine.
