They have so pushed aside the lords of creation, that for some time my sympathies were really alive to know what men had left to do, until I finally discovered that' they had the resource of becoming chambermaids.

Jjut there is one discovery the reformist of tho sex can make in Paris to which 1 beg particularly to call their attention, and that is, how to preserve the freedom of their'limbs,' and their petiicoatsj also. Bloomerism has no chance of success.,,. A French lady, by a sleight of hand in lifting her dress, can cross the dirtiest streets, promenade through mud and mire, and bring home unsullied, the whitest stockings and the cleanest skirt. She. does it too with a naturalness of modesty which is perfectly charming.

A Fish Nursehy.—Dr Samuel J. Stratford, of Toronto, Canada, has asked Nova Scotia for a salt-water lake. He desires to make a nur sery for salmon, .lobsters. Oysters. &C. Thf\,Frpnrh hnvp lately been turning their attention to schemes of the kind and the doctor thinks he could carry out the plan successfully at Lake Brass d'Or, in Cape Breton a plan which, he savs,would prevent the extirpaiion which threatensthese floating aliment of man. He proposes to erect defences at Barra Strait, which would prevent the escape of fish, and feed and protect them in the spacious enclosure. He would do this in such a way as that navigation should not be hindrcd.. Ho has a metlipd of preserving- his fisb alive, and so exporting thorn =jn salt water to foreign countries and he expresses his confidence that he could not only supply, the markets .of Canada nnd the .United Slates, but also those of England and the continent,of Europe. This is matter gasironomically interesting to .i.^j unc hemisphere,and we hope tho Nova Scotinn Legislature will give us all a chance for a lutle^ood cheap salmon, to say nothing of the shellis

couple of njee young men, from a neighboring county, in their peregrinations around the fulr ground during the late exhihiiionksoeking whom they might cwitsin up to in tho shape of cfico, espied a couple of "blooming damsels from iht* kingdom of Dooly, very earnestly engnged in chit chat with a couple of rustle swains. 'Hero is our chancd.' says one of our heroes (whom wo shall call1 Jones,) to the other,(whom we shall designate as Mr. Drown.)l4,tet us cditon up to those girls and cut out these fellows.' 'Agreed,' sty# Brown, 'but the mischief is, how shall wa make their acquaintance.' 'Why, easy enough,' says Jones, I know one of the ladies and will introduce you.' 'Good as wheat,' says Brown, and after pulling up their dickeys, up they went—Jones Introducing Brown, and being introduced by one lady to tho other, The game was now fuirly opened. The rustic swains,who hud 'nine points of law' on their side, wore taken by surprise at the boldness of our heroes, but soon rallied and seemed not to 'give it up so, Mr. Brown or Mr. Jrtnes, as the cose might be. So at it they went, in a sort of cross colloquy, in full purpose, each party, to entertain and.win the smiles nnd company of the fair ones.

And before the rustics could put in a word edgewise, Jones ond Brown were off, at quick pace, to the brow of the hill to see the bear, with each a Dooly Damsel on his arm, leaving their adversaries to 'chew the cud of bitter fancy,' as best they might! Moral. When a young man goes courting a Dooly Lady, don palaver about chickens and geese and doves, etcetera, when there is a regular wild, varminl to be seen not far off!— Georgia Citizen.

and incidents of his life, now travelling the rounds of the papers, have their existence only in- the imagination of letter writers or in mere rumor. Such, for instance, is the egotistical form of expression put in his mouth on his death bed: "On the 24th of October all that is mortal of Daniel Webster will bo no inorq." He never uttered such a sentance—he coui'd nol! But will tell you one thing he did say which those who heard it will never forget. Just before ho died, while lying in a half dreamy state, Apparently unconscious, except when addressed, of what was passing around Uim, the room still and solemn as the tomb, he suddenly broke forth, not fn the .low, weak voice of an invalid but in accents loud, clear, and thrilling as ever echoed through the Seuato Cnamoer: "Lif.k! Life! Dkath! Death!—how curious il is!'' It pierced to the apartment of the house, startling those who heard it like the sound of a trumpet. Shrouded from the outer world, that vast mind was strtigling with the vaster tnctne of' Life rind Death. As he passed the confines of mortal existence the mysterious protdemi began to unfold itself.and the dying statesman watcher! it with increasing interest and wonder until the startling exclamation burst his lips. The inappropriate use of the word "curious" reveals how completely he was absorbed in the great thought. Standing where fife and death mei.he was so intent in the view before him, that he was unconscious what his tongue uttered. How strong must have the emotion that mas^ temi him to have wrenched that loud and sudden cry from him. ,i

Descendants of Gen jus.—With the exception of the noble Surrey, we capnot point out a representative in the male line of any English poet. The blood of beings of that order can be traced far down, even in the female line. There is no English poet prior to the eighteenth century—and we beJieve no great author, except Clareudon and Shaftsbury—of whom we have any inheritance among tis. Chauncey's only son died childless Shakspear's line ex pired in his daughter's only daughter. None of the other dramatists of that age left any progeny neither did Raleigh, nor Bacon: nor Bowley. nor Butler. The granddaughter of Milton was the last of his family. Newton, Locke. Pope, Swift, Arbuthnot. Hume, Gibbon Cowper, Grey, Walpole, Cavendish, (and we might easily extend the list.) never married Neither Boll ingbroke, nor Addison, nor Whnrburton, nor Burke, transmitted descendants.—North Tribune.

Slave Case in New York. Lemmon and wife, residents of *U» mC mined to emigrate to Texas proceeded to New York for the purpose of taking a vessel for that State. The slaves claimed, that, by the laws of New York, they became free the moment they were brought, by tbeir masters, within the jurisdiction of that .State. The case came before Judge Payne, who, after argument, determined the slaves to be free. The decision has produced considerable excitement in ^he slaveholding States, and will add to the illfeeling existing between different portions of our country on the-subject of slavery.

Singular Fact.—A Wife nox_ kkqw "iter Hcsbakd.—A Southern journal has tho following:

In' Saturday's Constitution a paragraph appeared,*stating that an inquest had been held on the body of a man named William Duke, a carpenter, who was drowned in the Mardyke stream. While tho body lay nt the bridewell, poor Duke's wife and daughter called to see it before the Inquest, and left the bridewell in tears and lamentations.— They returned home and the inquest was held—the coroner thinking it unnecessary to call for the evidence of the mourners— and the jury came to a verdict "that the deceased William Duke was accidentally drowned." .When the wife returned home what was"-their astonishment to See him whom they thought they had just seen dead, alive and well, warming^itiiuself by the fire. The frighteued women for. some time refused to believe the evidence or their senses and it was not until some.neighbors called fn and effected a mutual understanding between the parties, that anything like quiet was restored. At length, after some explanation, it appeared that the deceased was not William Duke, who had been away fromjhome and had only that'evening returned. Who Ihe deceased really was ho one I knows.

Fall of Rocks at Niagara.—Last week an immense mass of solid rock fell into the river below, weighing about 200 tons. It projected Out from the perpendicular ledge, with seemingly no support under it, but held only by tho earth and roots, on top, connecting it with the main bank. On removing this earth a senm was discovered, and the rock began to manifest signs of uneasiness, feeling as much as a rock could feel, evident agitation at the prospect before it. The seam gradually opened, little patches of earth disengaged them* Selves, and the word was soon spread was about to take a

leap into the foaming cauldron below The trees which stood upon it began to nod good by the seam rent, and tho rock fell, "the fall thereof being great." Away it went, jumping, crashing and tearing everything before it, iOO feet below. The tall trees in its course snapped like pipe stems. But when it reach* ed the river a most magnificent specta* clo was presented. There arose, tike a great water giant, a white column of* spray and mist a hundred fedt high— incredible as it may seem, those who witnessed it will attest that it rose to one-third the height of the chasm—and spread round in falling a distance of from 2 to 300 feet, and the rays of tho sun Mriking it, formed a perfect rain-* bow. It was certainly the grandest sight of the kind ever Witnessed.
