True Womanhood.

A WRITER, speaking Of women in tn,
middle ranks Of society, pays the follow
ing tribute to the wives and daughter
of mechanics and Intelligent working
mep:
There behold woman in her glory
not puppet to be Aattered by profans
adoeation, revereneed to-day and diecar.
ded tomorrow; always jOlted out of the
place which nature and society would as
sign her, by sensuality or contempt; ad
mired but not respected; desired but not
esteemed; ruled by passions, not afec-
tiOns; imparting her weakness, not her
eonstancy, to the sex she could ezalt;
the source and mirror of vanity. We
see her as the wife, partakiug of the care
and cheering the anxiety of husband,
dividing his toll by her domestic intelli-
gence, spreading cheerfulness around
her, for his sake sharing the decent re-
hnements of the world, without being
vain of them, placing all her joys and
happiness on the man she loves. AS a
mother, we find her an af6ectionate in
structress of the children she has tend
ed from her infancy, training them in
thought and benevolence, addressing
them as rational beings, and preparing
them to become men and women in their
turn"

trary, you ses no light, rely on it that
you are the intended victim. In that
case lose not moment. Profit by the

there plead your cause as you think ft

Having expressed unbounded gratitude
to his tutelar saint, the traveller withdrew
to his hiding place. The suspisions of
the Cardinals agent proved well-fOund-
ed. No light appeared at the window of
the turret; and at the expiration of an
hour the traveller galloped Off He i'm
mediately quilted France and did not
venture back until after the death of the
Cardinal.
On returning to his native country,
his first business was to visit the inn Of
the Rouelle, and to make inquiries res
pecting his bensfactor, who, however,
had not been heard of for several years.
He then related his adwtuture, which
has since become local tradition, and
has conferred celebrity on the inn Of
known by the sign of the Che
val Blanc. The room in which the two
dined is shown 20 this day, and
is called La sale de bon secours.

4 surgeon who has had great experience
among eoutrabands, thus writes to the New
York Tribune: They are peaceable and con-
tented, with full faith that the Government
will deal justly with them and secure the free
dom they covet and deserve. Among all the
men, women and children Of those camps, for
the entire time was with them, / heard but
one quarrel and not an oath In their re-
hgious worship they are very devout and fer
vent, seeming to enter with the whole soul
into the spirit Of their hymns and prayers.
One of the prayers heard at the burial of q
little child, is almost exactly in lhe following
words -

Peculiarity of slaves Religion.

/
Harper's Magazine for November has an
article by Mr. Raymond on the Religious Life
of the Negro Slaves. In that article the
writer discusses in a very interesting manner
and repeats what all shareholders say, that the
most religious slave will sometimes steal from
his master. Some years ago, we remember
an Alabama STAKEHOLDER dwelling upon this as
a sign that the negro has not the same moral
constitution with the white man. For in
stance" said this worthy, himself minister
OF the gospel, II own Methodist preacher
an excelant man, good and constant at
prayer, and valuable in every way but I've
caught him in my corn-crib dozen times
and have been obliged to fog him for it."
Mr.. Raymond's story shows that the slave
has his own theory about this matter which
differs from the masters, but may not be SO
much amiss after all:
Among the sufferers by such illicit traffic
was our neighbor, Squire H, and so large
ly had he suffered from the purloining by his
own negroes mat the subject had become one
of public notoriety. Wishing to sound Elihu
upon the facts of the rumors, and learn some
thing of their character and extent, I one day
introduced the matter to his notice by the
following questions:
DO you know Squire rs Degroes2 p
"Yes, massa, I knows some of dem incon-
siderably. finds my wife in dat neighbOr-
hood"
What kind Of boys are they, Elihu2 Do
you consider them honest2'
"Well, masss, dat am a hard question:
Miggers' qualities varies. specs some on
um only jess ornary."
What have you heard about their steal
ing the wheat from the Clubhouse Cotton
gin)2"
well, massa ports is variss, but ports is
uncertain; sometime de dogs barks when de
coon amt dar."
But Squire II is very liberal to his
negroes. I shouldn't think they would steal
from their own master"
Now this was purpOsely touching upon
very sensitive ground, Eihu carried the key
to my own c,rn-erib, and was quite certain,
from the frequent and sudden diminution Of
the pile within, that some Of it went to pay
for the increase of his extensive wardrobe.
He didn't finch, however, but was only
shade more thoughtful as he replied:
Well, sab, dere is niggers wat steals, and
dere is niggers wat don't call dat stealin."
What do you mean? Because it is their
own master's?"

Large Feet.
" NggeTi

Here is an interesting dialogue between q
Mississippi darkey, with awfully large feet and
soldier
soldier-"say, can you dancer"
Negro.-'No, sab"
Soldier-"Well what do you do with those
feet, then2'
Negro.-"Dem2 Cooking DOWN. Oh, l

soldier.-"Well,wha do yoa do with them

Negro.-Do wild 'em nights1 why-wby

Soldier-"Why, wanted to know wheth-
er you leave them out doors or sleep with
them"
Negro.-"Why, I sleeps wild 'em OBJ course. "
Soldier-"Do you sleep with them one as
time, or bring them both into the same
bed2"
Negro.-"Of course gets EN- bOf into de
same bed"
And sleep on the floor yourselfl" pur-
sues fhe inqriring soldier"
This last is a trife too broad, and the dar-
key commences to suspect the soldier is
qu1zzing him, and the boys, noticing that be
wavers, give vent to the long-repressed laugh
ter in shouts which made every thing ring.

WHOLE NUMBER "a.



A romantic story is related Of one Of the
fair English lsnies who was recently present.
ed at court on her marriage The lady,
who belonge to a West Of England family,
had formed an attachment for young man,
eligible enough in every respect except for
tune; but ne, unluclty fellow seems to have
been regarded with favorable eyes by the
mother, widow. In order to see the daugh-
ter more frequently, he was very attentive to
the mstron, and appears to have overdone his
part, for she not only fancied he reeiproeated
her feelings, but actually went SO far as to
hint Of her approaching nuptials to some Of
her dearest friends. An explanation, a scene,
and departure Of Romeo to America or AZ
rica, or some out-Of-the-way place, was the
result. Les a5ssnts ont tort there was 10
correspondence permitted between the young
folks and, within a twelvemonih On fact,
only last summer), a sBarOnet, with Peerage
in prospect, wOoed the young lady and was
accepted by the mother in her name.
The marriage was to take place at the close
Of the season. Juliet, however, proved true.
and became very i'll. The great Sir Richard
pronounced it case Of iucipient decline, and
recommended the Pyrenees--a very pleasant
trip for the healthy, whatever it may be for
the sick Here Juliet's maid met her young
man." who, by strange coincidence, was
Romeo's gentleman" We may presume
there were stolen interviews and renewals Of
vows. Pau and the Pyrenees Ito say moth
ing Of RomeO's re-appearance) soon worked
cure, and the young lady and her mother
returned TO London early il the year, when
the interrupted marriage was fixed fOF an
early day in March. Of course there was
great deal to be done, the young lady had
much shopping to go through, and in her
visits was not always accompanied BY her
mother, but never unattended by her lrusty
maid and eogfdants.
One morning she sat of rather earlier than
usual, but did not get back until between one
and two, when she was accompanied By
gentleman, who desired to see the mother

Eugenie and Striped Stockings.
B. F. HOFFMAN, Private Secretary.

THE Paris correspondent of the Liver
pool Courier says that the empress
possesses the immortal glory of having
invented, or at least revived, crinoline
petticoats. Such a brilliant act would
have fully satisfied the ambition of an
ordinary woman. But her Majesty has
a lofty soul, and aspires to the glory of
making another revolution in female
costume. For thirty or forty years past,
and for aught know more, French Ia
dies have been faithful to the white
stockings, and they have firmly set their
faces against the attempt of English la
dies to introduce the red one. The EN-
press, thinking that the eternal white
had become rather monotonous-tbe red
too glaring, and blue too literary-asked
herself if some other color could not be
adopted. She thought long and anxious
ly, and at last the inspiration came-the
stocking might be stripedi The day after
this mental illumination the Imperial
ankles, and some little space above them,
came forth adorned with white stockings
of blue and white stripes; and all the
eourtiers proclaimed the union of the
two cOlors ravishing to behold. By this
time next year, no doubt, the uew fash
ion will be as prevalent as that of crime
line"
