A WOMAN's PLEA FOR CRINOL1NE

! The cditress of the Rockford (1ll J
News, formerly the wcll-postcd Fash,
ion Correspondent of several western
newspapeIs-doubts the rumor OF
the downfall of crinoline, and thinks
if it is so, women can never return to
the scant proportions Of their grand
mothers skirts, but adds:
All women know that previous to
the introduction of crinoline, the bur-
den of dress had become almost intol-
erablc. The weight of skirts, and
consequent pressure upon the hips,
rendered bodily exercise almost i'm
possible, and proved a fruitful source
Of disease and suffering, as we'll as
constant discomfort. We do not be-
lievc that any woman who has known
the ease and comfort of moderate we'll
made hooped skirts, would be willing
to return to that state of things again
Instead, however, there is the alterna-
tive of the graceful % costume of a
hundred years ago, which all who
have been to an "old folks concert !"
have had an opportunity of studying !;
and if they admired it and think it
will add to their attractions, let them
adopt it by all means. For our part,
we think it stiff, angular, ungraceful,
and utterly detestablc-no to be com.
pared to the Bloomer style, either for
beauty or convenience. Instead of
rounding off sharp lines into beauty,
it brings them right ont into gothic
relief.
Doubtless, by the aid of pearls and
powders, and gorgeous material, a
brilliant, as well as novel effect might
be produced but it must be remem.
bered that i'll this country, everybody
must be "in the fashion," whether the
dress is composed of shilling cotton
or five dollar brocadc, and that the
mass have neither time nor means to
call III many or costly artificial aids,
to make their toilcttcs becoming.
There is also another question-are
we to rclinquish all the delicate stuffs
the transparent baregcs, the exquis-
Ite grapes and tissues, the fine organ
dies, the lovely grenadines, and hum
drcd notifications Of these, all of
which require full and flowing dra-
perry! Imagine the iiImy texture of
II tarlatan, hanging in straight and
sllnky folds to the feet. Where would
be its beauty? We have no idea Of
giving up our pretty dresses, and de-
cline accepting the rumor of the
downfall of crinolinc,' until we
know what will be offered as sub
Stitutc.

MANNERs.-Young folks should be
mannerly. But how to be is the
question. Many good boys and girls
feel that they cannot behave to suit
themselves in the presence Of compa-
ny. They are awkward, clownish,
rough. They feel timid, bashful and
selt.distrustful the moment they are
addressed by stranger, or appear in
company. There is but one way to
get over this feeling and acquire easy
and graceful manners ; that is. TO do
the best they can al! the time, at
home as well as abroad. Good man
ncrs are not learned SO much as ac-
qnired by habit. They grow upon us
by use. We must be courteous,
agreeable, civil, kind, gcntlemanly and
womanly at home, and then it will be
4 kind of second nature to be SC
everywhere. a coarse, rough manner
at home begets habit of roughness
which we cannot lay off if we try
when we go among strangers. The
most agreeable people we have ever
known III company, arc those that are
perfectly agreeable at home. Home
is the school for all the best things.

LONELY MUSINGS.

Reclining on my couch awhile,
Resting from anxious care,
My mind is wandering far away,
Where friends and kindred are.
There | can see q little band.
Around the freside bright,
With laugh and song ard cheerful words
Which tell their hearts are light
/ look again, and in their midst.
The father, too, ] see
Smiling upon that little flock,
AS if approvingly.
Yet still gaze the scene as one
I've looked upon before;
But now it hath the charms to me
1t had in days of yorc.
'1is changing now, the father smiles
No more upon the throng
He now beholds a vacant place
Part of the flock are gone
To Heaven he lifts his weeping eyes,
And there, around the throne,
lie sees the purest of the flock
With the angelic throng.
But there are wanderers from their home
Their lot he fain would know
DO adverse gales their bark impede,
Or prosperous brcezcs blow
Oh, dearest father no more
That anxious look can bear
I'll answer of the ills of life
We each do have share
But with our life and reason blessed,

LIFE,


Tell me not. in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream
For the soul is dead that slumbcrs,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real Life is earnest
And the grave is not its goal
Dust thou art, Ia dust returncst,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment. and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way 4;
But to act, that each Tomorrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and time is tlceting,
And our hearts, though stout and bray
Still, like muitlcd drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Bc not like dumb, driven cattle;
Be Il hero i'll the strife.
Trust no future, howe er pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead
Act act in the living present
Heart within, and God . erhcad.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind lis
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing Ger lile's solemn main:
\ furlorn and shipwreckcd brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

he had tasted some tea made from the
leaves of the plants grown in the ag-

is far superior to any he has ever

is really delightful. The tea, to be

AGGREsSIONs OF SLAVERY.

Mr.. WILSON, of Massachusetts,, said:
For seven weeks these halls have
rung with angry menaces. The Tn
ion has been threatened in the event
of the triumph of the Republican par
ty. He had sat here and listened
coolly to these arguments and prcdic-
tions and threats. He was glad to
see that when he recalled these
threats yesterday they produced a
proper feeling on the other side. He
expected before this session closes q
retreat from the avOwals made. The
Republican party stood on the plat
form of Washington and Jefferson.
The Democratic party had adopted a
new reading of the Constitution, and
the Union was threatened with DISC
luton unless they concurrcd. He
had been arraigncd for attacking the
slavc-trade party Of England, which
held power for many years. lie did
pay tribute to the Reform party Of
England, which had liberated eight
hundred thousand slaves in the West
Indies, and who were carrying out re-
forms at home amid hail.storm of
abuse just such as the Republicans
were subjected to here. What was
meant 10y slave power was the polti-
call influence of slavery in the Gov
crnmcnt, which had grown from u
small beginning to its present proper
tions. The present Congress was
made up mainly on the other side of
the disciples of Calhoun.
Mr.. Wilson then proceeded to emu
mcratc the aggrcssions of this slave
power. He spoke of the denial of the
right of petition, the examination Of
the mails by the postmastcrs of the
Southern States, the annexation of
Texas in order to extend slavery, the
violation of the neutrality laws to ac-
quire Cuba, the repeal of the Missou-
ri Compromise, the outrageous laws
passed by the pro-slavery Legislature
Of Kansas, the outrages in Kansas,
passage of the English bill, &c. The
same power, he said, was now ma
nGuvering to keep Kansas out of the
Union under a Constitution of her own
choosing, and now we were asked to
pass slave code for the Territories.
He next referred to the doctrines of
the Ostend Manifesto, and contcndcd
that the efforts to obtain Cuba greatly
injured the trade of large portion of
the States of the Union. He next re-
ferrcd to the laws of South Carolina,
which imprisoned the colored citizens
of Massachusetts, coming to any part
of that State.

see fit to pass law of this kind, or
of any other kind, !, as citizen Of
that State, will express my opinion in
appreciation or disapprobation of it,
as my Judgment at that time shall

Nor do alludc to this subject at

from any Of the cpithets which were

can vouch for them that they will
never be won or intimidated by adj
jcctives, no matter how boistcrously,
or how numerously, or how harshly
they may be applied.
Mr.. WILKINSON, of Minnesota, said :
Mr.. President-I do not wish to
interrupt the debate, but should like,
if it is in order, to offer an amend
ment to these resolutions, and ask that
it be printed

10 this day, just as they left it. Eight long years
ago that was, We think. Many have been the
changes since then. The lights of Emperor Mich
olas and Kamehameha III. have gone out since
then. The treaties of Paris and Villa Franco, TO
say nothing of japanese, Chinese and our
Oldenburg ones, now illumine and pacify the
world. Our Treasury then was p~lethoric with
hard coin. and our town oyerflOwing with bad
grog now our public purse is collapsed. while
grog Is more plenty and worse than ever. Still,
that Lighthouse has gone on, blazing away, night
and dav, without repairs and without oil until
last Sunday evening, which happened 10 be stormy
and very dark, when the whole fabric disappeared
with the sun, and not a vestige Of it has been seen
OF heard of since. 1t was very unfortunate that
the steamer hilauea should not arrive until after
dark that unlucky evening, heavily treighted,
and with many anxious foreigners in cabin, and
over one hundred natives on the hurricane deck
passengers anxious 10 get 70 their own homes.
and the natives presuming to think that a grass
hut would be better than the pelting of 4 nor
wester and the deck of 4 beautiful steamer. how
ever suceef and shriH the sound of her whistle.
Capt. B. looked anxiously for the lighthouse. but,
'twant there tried the moon, but she wouldn't
shine. He remembered Lahaina reef and took
caution, vowed he trould 90 in till he could see
the length of his nose then he anchored and
bowed off steam. We don't blame him g bit for
that, though the latter performance cost him, we
dare say, some hard words and more coal.
We hope the II. 5. Navigation Company will
take the hint, and erect at once q good substan-
tial lighthouse on the point. They are rich, and
can do it just as well as not twill show their
public spirit. They need not fear Government
Observation-Disclosures will not object. They
did not object to the laying down of buoys at
Kahului, Laupahoehoe and Kaupakuea through
enterprise and private means in fact
it is said they approved of it; so we are quite
positive on this point. You have a precedent,
then 90 ahead, and let us have a Lighthouse, not
