A Remarkable story.

In the American department at
Paris, there is on exhibition some gold
embroidery which attracts universal
admiration. The richness of the ma
terial and the elegance of the work
manship is unequaled 1t is from an
American lady. Her husband is q
New York publisher. He lives in
great style. He has his fine house
dashiug teams, and is emphatically
fas.. His wife is not allowed to dwell
under hisroof. She IS an elegant and
accomplished lady, on whose fame not
= breath of suspicion has rested, But
deserted, and with no provision made
for her maintenance, she resolved to
turn her accomplishment to good ac-
count. This lady called on Nine. De-
morest and told her story-exhibited
her skill, and found full, Employment
and fair compensation For years She
has earned comfortable subsistence
andjs esteemed b. all who know her !

L0quacIty and Reserve.

The ideas of a great talker differ
very much from those of the reserved
mantle former being superficial and
comparatively valueless, while the lat

are truthful, impressive, and profound.
The language of the former skips
along as easily and gracefully as the
greyhound, while, on the contrary,
that of the latter slowly, clumsily. and
heavily EDWARDS, like the ponde7ous
and unwieldly elephant. He finds it
difficult to give utterance to his
thoughts. which rush forward to the
portals of his mouth In such crowds,
that they, in fact, block it up. When
ever you meet with man of this kind,
give him time, and do not mistake his
tedious. hardness. for Ignorance or inn
becility of mind Innine cases out of
ten he has lived In solitude, and be-
cause he has not been habituated to
conversation, his tongue grows so
rusty that, when he does venture into
society, no one will wait till he is
drawn out. aud therefore his. reserve
Continues to increase. Do not con-
temptuously turn your back upon

his voice may be harsh, but still he is

more attentive to nature. The gun is
silent until its note is one of triumph;
the tiger fatal spring and terrific roar
are simultaneous; the volcano is silent
before an eruption; aud all nature
seems dead before the tornado and the
earthquake. Nature employs silence
to concentrate her energies, that the
effect may be more appalling and sub

the action of fresh water, has a rusty
exterior, but is inwardly improved in
quality, so the rust OF the reserved
man is only superficial, while his ideas.

ANOTHER CANTATA.

We were among a select few who attended the
Wesleyan Female Institute on Friday night last,
to listen to a rehearsal of Prof Hewitts juvenile
cantata of ''Floras Festival" The vocal affair
was preceded by an instrumental concert, where
in several young ladies performed variety of
pieces on the piano-among which was charac-
teristic overture on two pianos. This piece is a
composition of Prof Hewitts and represents the
struggle of the Confederacy for freedom from
Yankee rule 1t was very effective. being we'll
executed by the Professor and three ofhis pupils
But the cantata of Floras Festival was the attrac-
ton of the evening, and we think the testimony
of every one present will bear us out when we say
the rehearsal passed off admirably. The singing
of the many solos and chorusses by the young la
dies was entered into with such earnestness, and
with voices so sweet in their ringing melody that
one might easily have fancied the music OF a
higher order than is usually found among the
haunts of men. 1t only needed few things to
make it an enchanting affair-a bright May day,
a shady forest and green grass. Such musical
and poetical conception cannot be appreciated in
the pent up walls of a house-it must be out in
the woods in the open air, where the babbling
stream meanders-where the song-birds sing free
~ and that ''tell-tale maiden, the echo, can give
an answer that never lies
WE are happy to state that this beautiful little
affair will be brought before the public of Staun-
ton during the coming May, with its characters
bic dresses forest trees, and multitude of flowers.
We will conclude this hasty notice by commend
ing this institution to the consideration of our dis
tant friends-not the musical department alone,
but the entire regime Of the school seems to be
conducted with great ability.

To the Members of the Lewisburg Thespian
Socjetv - ~

GENTLEMEN Our manager received the
copy of the ''Lewisburg Times sent him by
you few days since, and returns his thanks for
it. In reply to the challenge therein, we beg to
say, that being simply noyices in the art OF act
ing, we feel that our incompetency will not per-
NIT us to accept the trial for the championship
which you propose, and must; therefore, re-
specially decline. We have never, for a mo-
ment, entertained the idea that ours is THE
Thespian Society, and could not think, for sew
eral reasons, of attempting to rob you OF the
laurels, which you say none but yourselves have
right to- so we are satisfied to let you wear
them ALL Were we patronized and favored by
our citizens as the Yankee Show and Yankee
Wyman were, we could easily entertain and ac-
cept such propositions as the one you have
made u.s. As it is, we are now in fair way to
offer the people here some inducements to at
tend our entertainments, having recently secur-
ed the services of some good players, and having
now in rehearsal some excellent pieces which
cannot fail, we think, to gain us large audiences
We have discovered that we must do more than
the Circus and Wyman in order to get our
townspeople to sustain us, and when we succeed
in doing this, and we are making every effort to
| do So we may accept your challenge, for then
| we can find judges enough here which will OBJ
viate the necessity of our going to 1ewisburg,
as we would be obliged to do, were we to accept
your challenge now. We were organized for
the benefit of patriotic and charitable objects,
but We have not paid the debt incurred in bull
ding our stage yet, much less given any. of the
aforementioned commendable objects the pro-
ceeds of one or more of our entertainments as
we had hoped to do.
We have several fourishing female schools
here which our sisters and sweethearts attend,
but the teachers object to their coming to our
entertainments because they say they are not
perfectly moral and insist upon the girls going
to hear dry Ito them political and financial de-
bates at the Lyceum instead.
We have been wondering whether or not
these same teachers think that we, proud as we
are of our esteem for the ladies and of our re-
spect for ourselves would bring anything before
them in the way Of play which would be the
least immoral, when we so carefully avoid the
selection of obscene plays,
We cannot speak for the Harrisonburg Thes-
plans, gentlemen, who, we believe, like every
thing down there will do occasionally, are on a
bust, though we expect you will hear from
them in due time. For the present, at any
rate we beg to decline your challenge, and to
be Yours respectfully,

Timon, correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, writing from Washington under date
of January 2Sth, says:
Thad has lost ground wonderfully, and ex-
hibitcd his bad temper to-day by quarrelling
with Bingham The Radicals are in no very
pleasant mood tonight, and there is no end to
the elimination and recrimination, on account of
recent political sins, going the rounds. The ex.
tremists, though strong in their sentiments, find
themselves few in number but continue as
malicious as ever, promising to make up for
their present failures when the next Congress
convenes The Democrats relish the quarrel
among their opponents, and are all disposed to
let them have their own way. 1t is very clear
that although quite number of the Radicals
in the present House are irretrievably welded
to reconstruction on a territorial basis, and i'm
mediate investigation on the impeachment issue,
the majority of them strongly deprecate all these
proceedings so that it is now universally &C
knowledged that there is no earthly danger of
either the President being impeached or the
southern States being reduced to Territories.
