BUFFALO, May All quiet on the
Niagara. The arms of the Fenians
are on board the Michigan; also, their
colors and those captured by them at
the battle of Ridgeway, which the
Canadians call Simeston Ridge. =
Buffalo is filled with special report
ers from all parts of the country, but
there is absolutely nothing transpiring
at this point.
The EIcpress this morning saysss
While Ne had assembled in this
city some two or three regiments, Fe
drilled, and while liberal detachments
have been arriving here from abroad
during the past week, amounting to
more than another thousand, the
whole augmented armies in the field
only amounted to about 1000 men.
Where the balance are, it is difficult
to understand 1t is a significant fact
that among the 5000 or 1000 troops
at Ft. Erie yesterday, not Catholic

officer of the force was Irish.

Women In Former Times.

From the subversion of the Roman En-
pire to the fourteenth or fifteenth century,
women spent most Of their time alone, al
most entirely strangers to the Joys ofsocial
life they seldom went abroad but to be
spectators of such public diversions and
amusements as the fashions Of the times
countenaced. Francis /. was the first who
introduced women on public days to court /;
before his time nothing was to be seen in
any of the courts OF Europe but gray beard
ed politicians, plotting the destruction OF
the rights and liberties Of mankind, and
warriors clad in complete armor, ready to
put their plots in execution. In the thir-
teenth and fourteenth century, elegance had
scarcely any existence, and even cleanliness
was hardly considered as lapdable. The
use of linen was not known, and the most
delicate of the fair sex wore woolen shifts.
In Paris they had meat only three times a
week ;and one hundred livres (about twenty
1--WE dollars) was large "portion" for lady.
The better sort of citizens used splinters
Of wood aud rags dipped in oil for candles,
which in those days we're rarity rarely TO
be met with. Wine was only to be had at
the shops OF the apothecaries, whore it was
sold as cordial; and TO ride in two.wheel.
ed car along the dirty, ragged streets, was
reckoned grandeur Of so enyiable ma
ture that Philip the Fair prohibited the
wives Of citizens from enjoying it. In the
reign Of Henry VIII. of England, the peers
OF the realm carried thier wives behind
them Oh horseback when they went to Lon
don; Andin the same manner took them
back to their country seats with hoods ci
waxed linen over their heads, and wrapped
ip mantlss Of cloth, to assnse thsm ffoB
the cold.

undertake more than they can do we'll and
consequently work too early and too late.

should put more mind and machinery into

Hints to Writers and speakers.


William Cullen Bryant geve the follow

offered him an article for the Evening Post
My young friend, observed that you

English language, that you will End it ca

may have. have always found it so, and
n all that have written do not recall an
instance when was tempted to use for
eign word, but that, on searching, found
a better one 10 my own language.
1.-The only true way to shine even in this
false world, is to be modest and unassuming.
Falsehood may be very THICK crust, but
in the course OF time will find place to
break through. Elegance Of language may
not be in the power of all of US, but SIM
plicity and traightforwardness are.
Be simple, unaffected; be honest IN
your speaking and writing. Never use q
long word when short one will do. Call
spade not well-known oblong instrument
of manual industry; let home be a home,
not residence place place, not To-.
cality, and SO of the rest. Where short
word will do. you always lose by using a

A Word for Newspapers.

We clip the following article from an ex7
change 1t is true and We commend it TO
every man who has an interest where he
resides:
Nothing is more common than to hear
folks talk OF what they pay for newspapers
for advertising &c, as so much given in
charity.
Newspapers by enhancing the value Of
property in their neighborhood, and giving
the localities in which they are published
a areputation abroad, benefit all such, partic
ularly il they are merchant or real estate
owners, thrice the amount yearly. of the
meager sum they pay for their support.
Besides, very public spirited citizen has
a laUdable pride in having paper of which
heis not ashamed, even If he should pick it
up in New York or Washington
A good looking thriving sheet helps to
sell property, gives character to the locality,
and in ell respects is q desirable public con
yenience. Iffrom any cause, the matterin
the local or editorial columns should not be
quite up to your standard, do not cast it
aside and pronounce it of no account, un-
Ill you are satisfied that there has been no
more labor bestowed upon it than has been
paid for, If you want good readble
sheet it must be supported. And it must
not be supported in spirit of charity eth
er, but because you feed necessity to sup
port it, The local press is the " power
that moves the people, "-NesoI York 4rib-

Changes in Life.


Our first era in life is under the influence
Of primitive feelings; we are pleased and
we laugh hurt and we weep we vent our
little passions the momentthey are excited !,
aud SO much of novelty have we to preceive
that We have little leisure to reflect. BY
and.by, fear teaches us TO restrain our feel
ings when displeased we seek 10 revenge
the displcasure, and are punished we fnd
the excess of our JOY, our sorrows, our an
ger, alike considered criminal, and chide in
to restraint. From harshness we become
acquainted with deceit the promise made
is not fulfilled, the threat not executed, the
fear falsely excited, and the hope wilfuly
disappointed, We are surrounded by sys-
tematized delusion, and mbibe the conta-
gion. From being forced into concealing
the thoughts which we do conceive, we
begin to affect those which we do not so
eagerly do we learn the two main tasks Of
life, the suppress and to feint, that our
memory will not carry us beyond hat peri
cd of arti6ce to state Of nature, when the
two twin principles of veracity and belief
were so strong as to lead the philosophers
of a,modern school into the error of ternl-
ing them iDuate.
