fashion,

Fashion rules the world, and most tyraGnical mistress she is-compclling people to submit to.the most inconve- nient things imaginable, for fashions sake.
 She pinches our feet with tight shoes, or chokes us with tight handkerchiefs, or squcezes the breath out of our body by tight lacing.
 She makes people set up by night, when they ought to be up and work ing.
 She makes it vulgar to wait on ones self, and gcntecl to live idle and use less.
 She makes people visit when they would rather stay at home, eat when they are not hungry, and drink when they are not thirsty.
 She inyades pleasure and interrupts business.
 She ruins health and produces sick ness--destroys life, and occasions pre- mature death.
 She makes foolish parents, invalids of children, and servants of all.
 She is a despot of the highest grade full of intrigue and cunning, and yet husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, black and white, have become her obedicnt servants, and vie with ono another to see who shall b, the most obsequious.

The Eternal Word.

No fragment of any army. ever sur vived so many battles as the Bible; no citadel ever withstood so many sicges no rock was ever battered by so many hurricanes and so many storms. And yet it stands. It has seen the rise and downfall ofDaniel's four empires. As syria bequcaths few mutilated figures 10 the riches of the National Museum. Media and Persia, like Babylon which they conquered, have been weighed in the balance and long ago found want ing. Greece faintly survives its histo- ric time. s'Tis living Greece no moro ' and the iron Rome of tho Caesars is held in prccarious occupation by fe- ble hand. And yet tho Rock which foreteils all this survives. While na- tions, kings, philosophers, systems, in stitutions have died away, the Bible now engages mems keenest thoughts, is examined by the keenest intellccts, stands revered by the highest tribunals, is more read, siftcd, debated, more de- voutly loved, and more vehemently as- sailed, more defended and more de- nied, more industriously translated and freely given to the world, more honor- ed and abused, than any book the world ever saw.
 It survives all changes, itself un- changed it moves all minds, yet is moved by none; it sees all things de- cay, itself incompatible it sees myr- iads of other books engulphed in the stream of time, yet it is borne along triumphantly on the wave; and will be borne along, till the mystic angel shall plant his foot upon the sea and swear, by Him that liveth forever and ever, that time shall be no longer.

The Two Voices.

When Guttenburg, the first printer, was working in his cell in the monas- tery of St. Abersgot, he tells us that he heard two voices address him. The one bade him to desist told him of the power his invention would put into the hands of bad men to propagate their wiekcdness; told hin how men would profane the art he had created; :; and how posterity would have cause to curse the man who gave it to the world. So impressed was Guttenburg with what he heard, that he took a hammer and broke to pieces the types he had so industrieusly put together
 His work of destruction was only stayed by another voice, sw weet and mu- sical, that fell on his ear, telling him to go on. and to rejoice in his work that all good might not be made the cause of evil but that God would bless tho right i'll the end. So to all of us, still comes those voices that came to Gut tenburg; the one calling us to work while is is called to-day; to try to leave the world better than we found it; and the other tempting us to give over and take our ease; to leave the blow in -furrow, and to rest on our oars when we should be pulling against the stream.

A Gray Cont,

The New York correspondent of the Mobile Register tells the following story:
 Col. B---, a gentleman well known to the staff officers who served in the Mississippi Department, was go- ing to his office on the lower part of Broadway, and the gray coat and old slouch hat which mark him distinctly as an x-Confedcrate, and which he takes particular pride in wearing, at trscted the'attention of two Germans whom he passed. One of them nudgcd the other, and said to him in loud whisper:
 Dat isa rebel"
 "Yaw,' responded his companion, wat for he wear dat dam gray coat up here?
 Col. B., who is q muscular fellow with well tanued face and an eye that seems to be lighted with all the furies when he is angry or indignant, over heard the remark and the allusion to his favorite coat, and when he had got well before the two Germans he sud- denly wheeled around and looked them full in the face. The tcutons did not wait to examine the color of his eyes. As soon as they saw him turn they stopped, and when his flashing eye lit on them they broke for the middle of the street. and did not stop running until they were a hundred yards from him. U

How Jed Missed 1t.

Some folks arc in the habit of talking in their sleep; and Miss Betsy Wilson was one of the number. This peculiar ity she accidcntly revealed to Jcdediah Jenkins, ill a careless conversational way.
 Jedediah had just finished the recital of matrimonial dream, in which the young lady and himself figured as hero and heroine, he having invented the same for the sake of saying at the con clusion, it was "too good to be true, ' and by thus speaking parables, assuring the damsel of what he dared not speak plainly. a
 'l never dream" said Betsy, "but I sometimes take half the night and tell all l know in my sleep"
 "You don't say sop
 "Yes never can have secret from mother. If she wants to know any thing, she pumps me after have gone to bed, and answer her questions as honestly as if my life depended on it. That's the reason I wouldn't go to ride the other night. l knew she would find it out. It's awful provoking"
 Now Jed, as the reader has surmised, had long felt an overwhelming partial ity for the young lady, and yearned to know if it was returned but though possessed of sufficient courage to mount the imminent deadly breach, or brooches (connubial ones, we mean) he could never muster spuuk enough to inquire into the state of her heart. But he now bethought himself of her con- fessed somnambulic loquacity, and felt that the time to ascertain his fate had come. Approaching the sofa he whis- pered:
 "My dear Betsy, tell me, oh, tell me the object of your fondcst affections P The fair sleeper gave faint sigh, and responded;
 Il love--let mo think-(here you might have heard tho beating of Jed's heart through brick walD--l love my country, heaven, and baked beans.-- But I have one passion above all oth- CTS. it is for roast onionsa
 The indignant lover didn't wake her but sloped at once, . sadder, but not a wiser man.

 pD- The following editorial from tho New York Times ofthe 22d is exceed ingly racy:
 General Butler is determined to im- peach something. He went to Con- gress for that express purpose, and does not intend to be baked. He pre- ferred the President naturally enough, butas Congress declines to gratify him in that respect, he is willing to com promise on our custom house collector. He is accommodating as the politician who called on President Jackson to de- mand the mission to England as the re- ward of his services, but on being re- fused this and everything clsc'on the descending scale, said he would Ee sat- isfied if the President woulfisfSe him some old clothes.

Congress has the right undoubtedly to impeach any office holder, and we should rather like, for the novelty of the thing, to see them do something they have right 10 do.

TnE LIGHT OF NArrRE.-The ccle- bratcd Mr. Hume wrote an essay on the suffieicncy of nature; and the no less celebrated Dr. Robertson, on the necessity of Revelation, and the insuf- tcicncy of the light of nature. Hume came one evening to visit Robertson, and the evening was spent on the sub ject. The friends of both were pres ent, and it is saiG that Robertson req soncd with accustomed claerness and power. Whether Hume was conyinc- cd by his reasoning or not we cannot tell: but at any rate lie did not ac- knowledge his conviction. Hume was very much of gentleman, and as he rose to depart. bowed politely to those in the room, while, as he retired thro' the door, Robertson took the light to show him the way: '.Oh sit," he con- tinued, II find the light of nature al- ways sufficient" as he bowed on. The street door was open, and presently, as he bowed along the entry, he stumbled over something concealed, and pitched down stairs into the street. Robert ran after him with candle, and, as he held it over him, whispered softly and cunningly, "Yo ou had better have lit- tie light from above, friend Hume" and raising him up, he bade him good night, and returned to his friends.
