We didn't know that anything like q
"new style was ever unpopular with
The ladies'; but to our great astonish-
ment the Philadelphia North Anaerican
says that the Spring fashion in bonnets :,
is entirely tabooed by the more sensible
of the sex in that city. That paper
gives description of the rejected head
covering as follows: IS - :
" In shape the new style of bonnet is !
cross between a coal scuttle and q
buggy top. A ledge projects over the
face, presenting an appearance SO un-
calmly as to induce wonder that any
body could adopt it. During all our
peregrinations of the week we didn't
encounter more than dozen Of these
monstrosities, and these, we fancy were
the property of outsiders. For her e1-

ladies of Philadelphia play second fiddle
to no other part of this hemisphere
For this reason the buggy top bonnet is
voted a humbug, and will not be adopted !
by our ladies. The new bonnets that
have made their appearance are in per-
feet keeping with the usual diserimina- =

Our safeguard in the wilderness
Our shelter from the storm;
i, : Though winds and waves q conflict make

Who put their trust in God; ri r
2 Within his holy voice they feel ,..t..,
The comfort Of his presence still,
While oceans roll abroad.
a.z What though the heathen madly rage,
And kingdoms in fierce war engage?
When God sends forth his voice, sa'
He makes the glittering spear to bend,
Sends peace to earth's remotest end,
~ And bids the world rejoice. .v ,r-.-a
Be still, and know that he is God;
He rules the earth with iron rod,
And sits enthroned above; n rs s...
He dwells with those who own his name
The God of Jacob still the same

Modesty.

Modesty. Z"
It is a sure indication of good sense
to be difident of it. We then, and not
till then, are growing wise, when we be-
gin to discern how weak and unwise we
are. An absolute perfection Of under
standing is impossible; he makes the
nearest approaches to it, who has the
sense to discern and the humility to ac-
knowledge its imperfections. Modesty
always sits gracefully upon youth il
the lustre of every virtue which it5seems
to hide; the perfections of men being
like those flowers which appear more
beautiful, when their leaves are little
contracted, than when they are full
blown, and display themselves, without
any reserve, to the view. p. @-

Against slander there is no defense


Against slander there is no defense
He'll cannot boast of so foul fend, nor
man deplore SO foul foe; it stabs with
a word-with nod-with shrug-with
a look-with smile. It is the pesti-
lence walking in darkness spreading con-
tagion far and wide, which the most
wary, traveller cannot avoid; it is the
heart searching danger of the dark as
sassin; it is the poisonous arrow whose
wound is incurable; it is the moral sting
of the deadly adder; murder is its en-
ployment; innocence its prey and ruin
its sport. Its foundation is envy, jeal-
ousy and disappointed ambition. Its
heralds are found in all classes, among
all sects, in every vicinage. The SLAM
derer is vindictive, malicious, a cowardly
insinuating demon-worse than muir
derer.

Bitten by q Rat.

Bitten by Rat.
In September last, Mr.. John Wood,
of Little York, Montgomery county, was
bitten by large Norway rat, from the
effects of,which he suffered for several
weeks, intense pain. He came home
late at night, and while reaching into
the crib for corn to feed his horse, he
was seized on the hand by the entrapped
rat. In about two weeks he was again
taken sick. His hand and arm were
much swollen; and high fever, severe
vomiting and purging, and great pain
attended the case. The poison of the
bite diffused itself throughout his sys-
tenn, and came near proving fatal. He
has entirely lost the use Of his right
farm.-Deytoa EnptYs.s @s<- - 80

HoRRIRLE AFFAIR.

We learn from a. gentleman who arr
rived in, the city yesterday from Viicks.
burg, that Mr.. A. B. Wesson, formerly
of this city, was murdered and robbed
ON Saturday night last, under circum-
stances of peculiar atrocity. The un-
fortunate man was proprietor of a trad
ing beat, and, with his wife and negro
servant woman, had stopped for the
night at a plantation on the Louisiana
side of the river, about twenty miles be-
low Vicksburg. At an early hour the
next morning, the beat was visited by
three men, one of whom raped at the
door, when the negro woman, on an
swering the summons, received gun
shot wound in her head, killing her in-
stantly. Mr.. Wesson then went TO the
door, when one Of the assassins dis
charged gun at him, the contents of
which--some thirteen buckshot--4toek
effect in his left breast. He fell to the
floor and soon after expired. Mrs. Wes-
son then confronted the scoundrel, when
a cooked pistol was presented to her
head, and her life threatened, in case of
refusal to deliver into their possession
whatever money and yaluables the boat
contained. Thus lntimidated, the
frightened lady could do nothing less
than to accede to the demands of the
robbers, who at once proceeded to rife
the boat of some three thousaRd dollAsa
in money, and few articles of jewelry.
Having thus accomplished their arpose
they jumped ashore, and after a fruit
less attempt to cut the boat adrift, escap-
ed under cover Of a neighboring wood.
The perpetrators of this diabelical out.
rage are all unkRewn, yet the citizens of
the neighborhood in which it occurred
are not without hope of ultimate success
in ferreting them eut and bringing them
to punishment Mr.. Wesson has for
many years resided in this city, and was
regarded by those who knew him as an
honest and worthy citizen His remains
were taken to Vicksburg on Sunday,
and We understand will bs brought to
this city for interment.--4Nsn.ph;s Bul-

Eighty Lives Lost by . ceihery ExpIe-
EAon.

E18hty Lives Lost by Celfiery GxPfoa :
A fearful catastrophe happened on
the I'd ult., by an explosion Of gas in
Burradon Gallery, Northumberland,
England About 120 men and boys
were at work in the pit at the time, Of !
(which number more than eighty were
killed. Two explosions occurred, the
first about half-past one o'clock in the
afternoon, which was slight, andalarned
only few of the lads. The second ex,
Iplosion occurred about three minutes
aferward, and was so violent that all
the workmen made an effort to escape
from the pit, but only about thirty we're
successful Nest of the others per-
ished from the sitting effects of the,
choke-damp.
Theappalling intelligence was in few
moments spread through the village and
among the pit cottages, messengers we're
sent off to the neighboring eollieries for
help, and men galloped in every direc-
ton for surgeons. An awful wall arose
in the cottages belonging to the men
down the pit as the intelligence reached g
their families, and then women and chill.
dren focked to the plymouth, where o
frightful scene ensued as the men and
lads who had escaped were brought to
bank. The deputies and overmen who
were not down in the pit forthwith COM
menced making efforts to rescue those
who were known to be in the pit. Hum
1dreds of persons remained on the bank
all night, many of them women and
lchildren, shivering in the cold air, in
breathless hope that some one wouia
come out of the pit to give them intelli-
gence of father, brother, husband, or
son, but upon whom they were never
destined to gaze again, except black
ened corpse. A walk through the viii
lage on Saturday afternoon showed that
in almost every third house there was
corpse, or that preparations were made
for one that was expected from the pit.
The victims of this distressing
casualty are represented as most intelli-
gent and superior class of workmen---
provident and orderly in their habits,
