Times must be very bad indeed if a faithful few are not still left to keep the sources of society sweet and wholesome. When cor ruption has gone through the whole mass and all classes are bad alike, everything comes to an enfl, and there is a general overthrow of national life; but while some are left pure and unspotted we are not quite undone, and we may reasonably hope for better days in the future. In the midst of the reign of the girl of the period, with her slang and her bold ness—of the fashionable woman, with her filial of duty and her madness for pleasure— we eeme every now and then upon a group of good cirls of the real old English type, the faithful few growing up silently among us, but none the less valuable because they are silent and make no public display—doves who are content with life as they have it in the dovecot, and have no desire to be either eagles dwelling on romantic heights, or peacocks displaying their pride in sunny courts. We find these faithful few in town and Country alike; but they are rifest in the’ country, where there is less temptation to go wrong than there is in the large towns, and where life is more simple and the moral tone undeniably higher. The leading feature of these girls is their love of home and of their own family, and their power of making occupation and happiness ont of apparently meagre materials. If they are the elders, they find amusement and more in their little brothers and sisters, whom they consider immensely funny, and to whom they are as much girl-mothers as sisters; if they are the youngers, they idolize their baby nephews and nieces. For there is always a baby going on somewhere about these houses, bames being the great excitement of home life, and the antiseptic element which keeps everything else pure. They are pas sionately attached to papa and mamma, whom they think the very king and queen of humanity, and whom , they do net call by even endearing slang names. It has never occurred to them to criticize them as ordinary mortals; and as they have not been in the way of learning the prevailing accent of disrespect, they have not shaken off that almost religious veneration for their parents which all young people feel naturally, if they have been well brought up ] and are not corrupted. The yoke in most middle-class country-houseß is one fitting very loosely round all necks; and there being no power of using greater freedom, if even they Lid it, the girls are not fretted by its pressure, and are content to live under it m peace. They* adore their elder brothers who are from home just beginning the great battle of life for themselves, and confidently believe them to be the fihest fellows going, and the future great men of the day if only they care to put ontthoße splendid talents af perhaps,in' favor of the brothers’ friend, whom they place on a pedestal of almost equal height But they keep their mental archi tecture a profound secret from everyone, and do hot suffer themselves to let it grow into too solid a structure unless it has some surer foundation than their own fancy. For, though doveß are loving, they are by no means love sick damsels; they are too healthy and natural and quietly busy for unwholesome dreams. If one of them marries, they all enife in loving the man who comes in among them. He is adopted as one of themselves, and leaps into a family of idol— izing sisters who pet him as their bro ther—with": just that subtle little difference in the petting that it comes from sisters unaccustomed,and so has the charm of novel ty if not the excitement of naughtiness. But this kind of thing is about the most dangerous toa man’smoralnaturethatcan befall him. Though pretty to see,and undeniably pleasant to experience, and though perfectly innocent in every way, still nothing enervates one so much as this idolatrous submission of a large family of women. In a widow’s house, where there are maDy daughters and no sons, and where the man who marries one marries the whole family and is worshiped accordingly, the danger is of course increased tenfold; but if there are brothers and a father, the sister’s husband, though affectionately cooed over, 43 not made quite such a fuss with, aDd the as eociation is all the less hurtful in conse quence. The life of these girls is by no means stupid, though it is quiet and without any spasmodic eveDtß or cataclysms of fortune In any way. They go a great deal among the village poor, and they teach at the Sunday sehool, and attend the mothers' meetings and dothing-clubß and the like, and learn to get interested in their humbler friends, who, after all, are Christian sisters. They read their romances in real lile, instead of in three volume novels, and study human nature as it is—in the rough, certainly, but perhaps in more genuine form than if they learnt it only in wbat is called Bociety. Then they have their pleasures, though they are of an unexcit ing kind and what fast girls would call awfully slow, Thej have their horses and their cro quet parties and their archery meetings; they have batches of new music, and a monthly box from Mudie's, and they know the value of both; and they go out to tea some times, and sometimes to dinner,in the neigh borhood; and enjoy the rare county balls with a zest unknown to London girls who are out every night in the week. They have their village flower-shows, which the great families patronize in a free-and-easy kind of way, and which give occupation for weeks before and subject for talk for weeks after , their school feaßts, where the pet par son of the district comeß out with hie best anecdotes, and makes mild jokes at a long distance from Sydney Smith; their periodical missionary meetings, where they have great guns from London, and whore they hear unctuous Btories about the saintliness of con yertedxannibals, and are required to believe in the power of a change of faith to produce on ethnological miracle; they have their friends to stay with them school-girl friends with whom they exchange deep con fidences,and go back over the old days—so old to their youth! and their brothers come down jjp tie summer; and their brothers' friends come with and do alittle spooning in thCßhfubbery. . But there is more spooning done ftt picnics thananywherp elserandmore offers ate ihade; there, ?npder the shadow m the old ruin, or in the quiet leafy nook by. the river side, than,'it- any Other gathering time, of the country. And .as'we fire all to a cer tain extent what we are'made, theße plea sures being the only ones known to them,the doves take to them auite kindly and grate fully, and enjoy themselves in a simplicity ot circumstances which would give no pleasure at all to girls accustomed to more highly- Bulletin.! ~ spiced entertainments. mi Doveß know very little of evil. They are not in the way of learning it; and they do not care to learn it. The tew villagers who are supposed to lead ill lives are spo ken of below the breath, and care tully avoided without being critically Btudied, When the railway is carried down past their quiet nest, there is an immense excite ment as the report goes that a knot of strange men have been seen scattering themselves over the fields with their little white flags and theodolites, their measuring lines and levels. But when the army of navvies follows after, the excitement is ..changed to consternation, and a general sense of evil brooding ruth lessly over them. The clergy of the district organize special services, and the scared doves keep religiously away from the place where the navvies are hutted. They are lit tle better than the savages, the deputation tell them about once or twice a year, and create almost as much terror as an encamp ment of gipsies. They represent the lawless forces of the world, and the unknowii evu ot strong men; and the wildest story about them is not too wild to be believed. The railway altogether is a great offence to the neighborhood, and the line is assumed to destroy the whole scenic beauty of the place. There are lamentations over the cockneys it will bring down, over the high prices it will ereate, the immorality it will cause. Only the sons who are out in the world, and have learnt how life gees on outside the devecot, advocate keeping pace with the times; and a few of the more strong-minded of the doves listen to them with a timid admiration of their breadth and boldness, and think there may be two sides to the question after all. When the dashing captain and his fast wife suddenly appear in the village—as often happens in these remote districts—the doves are in a state of moral complexity. They are scandalized at Mrs. Highflyer’s costume and complexion, and think her manners odd and doubtful; her slang shocks them; and when they meet her in the lanes, trailing yards of Bilk behind her in the mud, talking bo loudly and laughing so shrilly with that horrid looking man in a green cutaway, they feel as fluttered as their namesakes when a hawk is hovering over the farm-yard. The dashing captain, who does not use a prayer-book at church, and who stares at all the girls so rudely, and has even been Been to wink at some of the prettier cot tage girls, and his handsome wife with her equivocal complexion and pronounced fash ions, who makes eyes at the curate, are never heartily adopted by the local magnates, though vouched for by some far away backer; and the doves always feel them to be strange bodies among them, and out of their rightful element somehow. If things go quietly without an explosion, well and good; but if the truth bursts to the surface in the shape of a London detective, and the Highflyers are found to be no better than they should be, the consterna tion and half-awed wonderment at the exis tence of so much effrontery and villainy in their atmosphere create an impression which no time effaces. The first clash of innocence with evil is an event in the life of the inno -1 cent which nothing ever destroys. The dovecot is rather dull in the winter, and the doves are somewhat moped; but even then they have the chureh to decorate, and the sentiment of Christmas to enliven them. The absent ones of the family, too, gather round the old hearth while they can, and as the great joy of the dovecot lies in the family union that is kept up, and in the family love which is so strong, the visits of the absent bring a moral summer as warm and r-w- i many or the Tioves marry men whose work lies abroad; these quiet country-houses being the favorite matrimonial hunting-grounds for colonists and Anglo-Indians. So that some are always absent, whose healths are drunk in the traditional punch, with eyes that grow moist as the names are B&id. Doves are not disinclined to marry men who have to go abroad, for all the passionate family love common to them. Travel is a golden dream to them in their still homes; but travel pro perly companioned. For even the most ad venturous among them are not independent, as we mean when we speak of independence inowomen. They are essentially home girls, family girls, doves who cannot exist at all without a dovecot, however humble. The family is eveiy thing to them, and they are utterly unfit for the solitude which so many of our self-sup porting women can accept quite resignedly. Hot that they are necessarily useless as bread winners. They could work if pushed to it; but it must be in a quiet womanly way, with the mother, the sister, the husband as the helper, with the home as the place of rest and refuge. Their whole lines are laid in love and quietness; not necessarily in inaction, but their wishes and their aims are all cen tred within the home circle. If they marry, they find the love of their husband enough for them, and have no desire for other men’s admiration; their babies are all the world to them, and they do not think maternity an in fliction as so many of the miserably fashiona ble think it; they like the occupation of housekeeping,and feel pride in their fine linen and clean service, in their well-ordered table and neatly balanced accounts. They are kind to their servants, who generally come from the old home, and whose families they there fore know; but they keep up a certain dignity and tone of superiority towards them in the midst of all their kindness, which very few town-bred mistresses can keep to town-bred maids. They have always been the aristocracy in their native place; and they carry through life the ineffaceable stamp Which being “the best" gives They are es sentially mild and gentle women; not queens of society even when they are pretty, beoause not cariDg for social success, and therefore not laying themselves out for it; for if they pleaße at home that is all they care for, hold ing love before admiration, and the .esteem of one higher than the praise of many. If a fault iB to be found with them it is that they have not perhaps quite enough “salt" for the general taste, used as it is to such highly seasoned social food; but do we really want our women to have so very much char acter? Do not our splendid passionate creatures lead madly wretched lives and make miserably uncomfortable homes? and are not onr glorious heroines better in pictures and in fiction than sealed by the nursery Are, or checking the baker’s bill? No doubt the quiet home-slaying doves seem tame enough when we tlpnk of the gorgeouß beings made fa miliar to us by romance, and history, which is more romantic still; but as our daily lives run chiefly in prose, they are better fitted for things as they are; and to . men-who want wives and not playthings, and who care for the peaee of family life and the dignity of home, they are beyond price when they cau be found and secured. So that,on the whole, we can dispense with the splendid creatures of character and the magnificent queens of society sooner than with the quiet and unob- Annie E.

The following are interesting: t r “The Sultan is an indolent man, of lym phatic temperament; he has hot had much education, and understands no European lan guage but French, of, which he can speak a few words. His favorite occupation is to look after his poultry yard, which contains the rareßt specimens of . hens, ducks, geese, swans, &c. He gives enormous prices for rare birds, and-passes hours in feeding his hens and watching his cocks fight Among the higher officials of his court there are a few able men, but the great majority of them, like the general body of the employes of the state, are ignorant and inefficient. All the places under government are given by favor, which is usually gained by services that can not be openly acknowledged. But the inef ficiency of the administration and the nullity of the sovereign are a small evil compared with the influence exercised by foreign di plomacy and foreigners in general. * * * There are really at Constantinople as many governments as foreign representatives, each of whom gives his countrymen far more pro tection than they would be entitled to at home. , . , “The Power which exercises the greatest influence is Russia. She is the real promoter of the demands of the various nationalities, and especially of the one hundred thousand Greek inhabitants of Constantinople, who still dream of the restoration of the Byzantine empire. Even in outward appearance the Russian embassy is easily distinguished from all the others. It occupies a magnificent palace, which, being built on the heights of Pera, commands the whole of the capital, and. looks down upon the residence of the Sultan, the Golden Horn, and the distant roofs of Stamboul, as if its wide portaU only awaited the entry of the Czar. During the winter season the palace is opened to all the higher society of the town, and in the bril liantly lighted rooms balls and concerts are frequently given. At Constantinople an am bassador is respected and feared in proportion to the magnificence of his surroundings. “Though the interior of a harem is still— notwithstanding the spread of European no tions among the Turks—strictly closed to all male visitors, the society of foreign lidies is eagerly sought by the wives of all the higher functionaries. The rooms they oc - cupy, even in the wealthiest houses, are low and dark, and furnished in very bad tiste, chiefly owing to the mania of Turkish wo men for tawdry ornaments from Vienns or Paris. By the side of the finest specimens of Oriental art may frequently be seen a vasj of common Bohemian glass, with dusty wax flowers, which they prize more highly .han many of the beautiful ornaments of theirna five manufacture. The saute is the case vith their dress * * * which is a caricature of the fashions of Paris. They have discarded the velvet jacket and trowsers, for.says, boots, long trains and immense chig nons. * * • It has also become the fashion to learn music, and a teacher on the piano forte (of course a lady; has made a fortune by giving lesßons in the harems. Another fashion is to have you* portrait taken. Their favorite artist is an Englishwoman—a jMiss Curtis. Some time ago this lady was com missioned to paint a full-length portrait of one of the Sultanas. The Sultana was short and stout, and Miss Curtis painted aer; ac cordingly. This, however, gave great of fence, and the Sultana insisted on her being made a foot taller, saying that as »he was only nineteen years old, she would be sure to grow to that size. But instead of growing taller, the Bultana only grew ommsi unrecognizable. Miss Cams was then requested to paint the picture a third time, and it is now nailed up to the coiling of the harem." A. Stolen Boos Restored—Tbe “His tory of tbe Bouse of Conde” and Its rate. Six years ago the sheets of several hun dred copies of the first two volumes of a “Hißtory of the House of Conde” were seized at the printer’s in Paris, and confiscated, without trial or warning, by order of the Min ister of the Interior, M. de Persigny. The sheets were consigned to the cellars of the Prefecture of Police, and when the publish ing firm to which they belonged appealed to Persigny for the restitution of their property, it was conceded, on condition that the sheets should be delivered to them beyond the fron tiers of France. As the Oauloia says, it' was as if the authorities had pulled down a lot of houses built on speculation in the environs of Paris, and then authorized the proprietor to rebuild them somewhere out of France. The author of the volumes, the Due d’Au male, and his publisher, were not satisfied with this generous concession, and appealed to the law for redress. From the Tribunal of First Instance to the Court of Cassation, and from tbe Court of Cassation to the Council of Btate, the case was carried, and every one of these tribunals declined to interfere, on the ground that the seizure of the volumes was a purely administrative measure, and conse quently not amenable to legal jurisdiction. Such, it seems (Bays the LondoniVews), is equality before the law in France. The highest and the lowest functionary are alike above the law. They can only be prosecuted by permission of the Council of State, which is itself an administrative body. Tuereupon the eminent legal advisers of Due d’Aumale resolved to try the question as one purely and Bimply of stolen property, and drew up an opinion to that effect, which appears to have attracted the notice of the Government. At any rate, the present Minister of the Interior, M. Forcade de la Roquette, has suddenly re stored the Bheets to M. Michel Levy, and has offered a certain sum in compensation for the damage caused by their six years’ sequestra tion. It was understood that the two confiscated volumes only brought the history down to the end of the seventeenth century, and that there could be nothing in them calculated to give umbrage to the House of the Bonapartes. To this, however, it was ingeniously replied, that M. de Persigny’s “historic conscience” had probably looked forward to a later date in the “History of the House of Condfi”— to the date of the death of the Due d’Eughien in the fosse of Vincennes, by order of the First Napoleon. —An editor in New Hampshire says that the recent auroral display of Thursday evening was as if “some celestial mercer had unrelled two or three dozen pieces of silk ol the most beautiful ild la of purple, green, blue, lilac, and white, gathered the ends into his hand at the zonith.and let them flow down to the horizon.” That will do to accompany Holmes’s description of ovonlng by a tailor. , a INDIA BUIIBEU MACHINE BELTING," STEAM X Packing llose, &c.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, gravated by the scrofu lous contamination until they wore painfttlly afflicting, bavo been radically cured in euch great numbers in almost every sec tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to bo Informed of Its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfc-lt tenant of thoorganism undermines the constitution, and Invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal disease;, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubot clea may bo suddenly deposited In the lungs or heart, or tumors formed In tho liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer ations on some part of the body. Hence the occa sional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is ad visable, even when no activo symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following.com plaints generally find Immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use of this BARBAFARJ 1.- LA: St. Anthony’s Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald llead, = Rlngu:orm, Sore Eyes, Bore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease.

Rheumatism and Gotti, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in tiic blood, yield quickly to it, as also River Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflam mation of tho XAver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the rankling poisons in tho blood.

IFrcm the Galena (IIL) Gazette, AprtH.l We give below the facts in one of the most remarkable cases of somnambulism that we have ever been called upon to chronicle. A gentleman, in whose veracity we have thorough confidence, furnishes ub with the following; • “I was passing along Bench street last night at about 11.30. When near Hill street I saw a strange spectre mounted on the back of a dark bajt horse. The animal was mov ing at a very alow pace, which gave me an opportunity of scanning the remarkable ap parition. It was a woman in white. As the horse, moving along at a snail-like pace,came opposite to me, I took in at a glance the en tire situation. I recognized the face of the rider. It was Miss .well known in Ga lena. Her eyes were wide open. They seemed to be gazing at nothing. Her hair hung over her shoulders and down her back. The horse moved along without being guided by his rider. My first impulse was to make a noise, but fearing that a sudden awakening would throw her into a fit of hysterics, I con cluded to follow this ghostly rider and thus be at hand prepared to avert any danger that might threaten. The horse moved down Bench street to Spring, turning the corner of Spring street he swnngaround into Main street At the corner of Washington street, a boy, catching sight of the remarkable phe nomenon, became bo badly frightened that he begatt'Jiowling piteously. I hastened to the side of\he young lady, who, as I had antici pated, was awakened by this fearful scream ing She lost her balance and would, no doubt, have fallen to the ground if I had not caught her In my arms. I eeoured the horse and conducted the young lady, amid blnsheß and explanations, to her home.” The horse .belonged in a stable situated in the immediate vicinity of the lady’s home. He had been placed in the stable that evening and securely fastened with a stout halter. How the sleeper gained accesß to the stable and liberated and mounted the animal, is a mystery that perhaps never will be explained. Fltz-Oreeue HatlocH. Among the notable people who visited New York in 1837,was a well-mannered but some what silent young man, who was landed at Norfolk, Va., from a French frigate; in the month of March, and upon whose cards was engraved Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. During his' two months'- sojqurn in New York, Hailed! became tvoll ' acquainted with him, meeting “the,, pretender to the French •crown," as he was i then styled, often In sob riety, and having a seat next to the Prince at a large dinner party given by Chancellor JKent. Times change, says the Latin proverb, and persons change with them. How aston- ished old George the Third- would have been had any one shown in a mirror, like that of Cdrneliua Agrippe,6uch a vision of the future as his grand-daugliter being on a visit to the nephew of a man whom, in his day English satirists were accustomed 5 to ridicule as “a little Corsican soldier!” Relating to the poet my having seen Victoria leaning on the arm of: Louis Napoleon as they entered, with Eugenie and Prince Albert, the Grand Opera at Paris, he remarked: *• ’Tis indeed strange. I thought him a dnll fellow, which he cer tainly was while among men, but sprightly enough when surrounded by young ladies. He would sometimes say, ‘when I shall be at the bead of affairs in France,! or ‘when I become Emperor,’and I then looked upon him as being as mad as a March hare, or as my poor friend McDonald Clarke.” To Alfred Pell he said of the Prince, that he was “a rather dull man of the order of Washington." A lady friend of the poet remembers Mr. Halleck de scribing hiin as “a person who never looks you in the face, and who always drops his eye if an individual, in taming suddenly, de lects him looking at you;” adding, on her own part, that “the Emperor still has the same disinclination to looking any one square in the face.” The poet and prince exchanged diDDers, the latter dining with Halleck at Villegrand’s, while he waß entertained by Louis Napoleon at the City Hotel. When Napoleon became Emperor, and confessedly the first statesman in Europe, until his laurels as such were somewhat dimmed by the Prussian Bismarck, the poet was often asked for letters of introduction to his Im perial friend, but, with his characteristic diffidence, declined obtruding, himself upon the notice of the Emperor, who, however, to this day, retains a kindly remembrance of his poet friend. — Wilson's Life of Halleck.
