It hail been said, in some sweet strain, That warms,the blood in every vein, " A perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to, comfort, and command." Als: lucky he, who, having found - , A woman with perfection crowned, Makes her his own, for he may then, With heart responsive, cry amen. Let us commune, that we may see If women are what they should be : - With Fancy's fingers lot us draw The curtain of a gay boudoir. • En dishabille, a maiden fair, Is buiy with her toilet there ,• Before her, on the stand displayed, The . subtle dye and rich pomade, To give the hair Ito proper hue, .And tinge the curving eyo-brows, too; Perhaps the silken lash to dye That trembles War her dishing eye; And as the blushing maiden seeks The rose and lily for her cheeks, Those secret aids are brought to light, The "liquid rouge" and “filismaish white." • A brilliant dress, of pattern rare, Hanga close beside her, o'er a chair, To be on Chestnut street displayed, Whore rival belles may promenade, And feel a pang of keen distress, From envy of so fine a derma. Bhe turns with haughty pride away Prom where her mirrored charms aro seen, And lifts with jewel's hand the dress, And gazes on it ea a queen, , Looks on her regal robes alone, , When dressing for her king and throne. The waiting-maid has Just come in, The knots to tle, the hews to pin, And all her taste and skill display Uppee her mistreits'a proud array. TIM: dress Is on; the servant kneels Behind her mistress, at her heels, To bring herself in ouch position ' . That hope may dawn in bright fruition— :- Hope, nothing more, or nothing lees, • Than hoping she may hook the dress. She tugs end mills, but vainly tides ' To make the hooks embrace the eyes. The mistress helps, they draw and strain, They struggle hard with might and main, Until the yielding ribs at length cave way to their united atreugth, And she i .the maid, with long-drawn sigh, Puts the last hook in the last eye. - Behold the mistress! Fashion's ape; A wonian with an hour-glass shape, Who looks, in case she leaves her mansion, With waist like that and skirts expansion, As if the windirt sudden flirts, - Might seize on the inviting skirts, And such a purchase ranee on them, As would from off the slender stein, The head and ahoilders snap, and bear The 'Atria ballooning through the air ; While on the street the trunk and head • Were looking for the members fled. No wonder liquid rouge must place The rose upon that maiden's fare, For, to the cheek the prisoned heart Cannot through shrivelled veins - impart - The rich and healthy tint which glows Ilpon thb free, unfettered rose. The pallid cheek, the hectic glow, Tho darting pains that come and go, The faltering step, the vim iled, The palm' that rack the joints and head, The lungs diseased, the carving spine, • Are fruits she'll reap at Fashion's shrine, And thee unto the grave will haste, The victim of porterted taste. Reform must come, and banish hence A style devoid of wit and senile, And substitute a style that will Allow the lunge a chance to fill— A style lis which the eye of taste Finds beauty in a natural waist, And in such limits of a skirt - As keep it from the dust and dirt, In which a holy may be seen Not a sweeping street machine, But as a woman ripe with grace, • From pretty foot to pretty face, Who, satisfied with bones her own, ' :Leta bones of slaughtor'd whales alone ; woman in her dress arrayed, , Not moulded, but as Eve was made By Him who, in his perfect plan, Gave her as God's best gift to nine. Here, gentle made; with your leave, I'll leave •yott with our mother Eve, Who erred, 'tie true, but mast command 'A kind remembrance at'my hand, Because her sin, through Adam's fall, Has built up Bennett's Tower Hall, For, first of all our human woes - Was, and ianow, the need of clothes, A need that has been felt by all, From that first eta of the fall, When fig-leaf aprons ruled the hour, Down to the time when Bennett's Tower Looms proudly toward the vaulted sky, A land mark, that the world may buy At Tower Hall the beat of clothes, A solace for the first of woes, • BIINNETT'S Towea Rata , ILLSINOTII OLOTIIING 131- tAitaj 'No t 518 hisagwr STUNS; Meth 131110, between Fifth' and Sixth streets. political.

RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF COPYRIGHT. A few weeks ago, litessrs. Harpers' Tema/ of Civilization contained an announcement, which gave much pleasure to us, in common with the numerous readers of Harper's Dfaga sine: "Mr. Thackoray's now story, 'The Virginians,' with many humorous illustrations by the author, is commenced in the Decembor number of Ilarper's Magazine. It is Printed from early sheets, re ceived from the author in advance of publication in England ; for which the publishers pay Mr. Thackeray the sum of two thousand dollars." Accordingly, as much of " The Virginians" as had boon published in London on the Ist of November, together with faithful copies of, the, author's own illustrations, appdared in the December number of Harper's Magazine. There can be no doubt that this portion was printed from early sheets, for which h liberal sum was paid to the author. Harper was pub lished, wo believe, about the 28d of Novem ber—or a week in advance of the actual date of the Magazine. In Harper's weekly Journal of Civilizalion of November 28 appeared another notice, which we subjoin : 46 With the full knowledge of this [the above quoted I arrangement, the proprietors of the New York Tribune, who have been loading advocates of an international copyright law, and profess the warmest regard for the interests of British authors in this country, have begun to copy this - story into their paper. The same parties, under the same circumstances, reprinted upon us 'Mr. Dickens's Little Dorrit,' for which we paid the author two thousand dollars. •' No American publisher can afford to give two thousand dollars for early sheets of a foreign work which is instantly reprinted upon him by a rival in a business. "The course of the Tribune is, therefore, do. oidedly calculated to deprive the British author of the only compensation he can get, in the pre sent slate of the copyright law." On the face of it, this appears a well-founded complaint. In two instances, large amounts had been paid for early sheets, with the ex press purpose of being able to publish " Dorrit" and "The Virginians," in ad vance of every other person in America. But, as the case lies, it does not appear that Messrs. Marra did avail themselves of the full privilege for which they had so largely paid. They delayed both re-publications un til a time when the Tribune, or any other paper, could have also published what DICK. ENS and THACKERAY had sent on in advance, "Little Dorrit" and "The Virginians" are serials, issued in London on magazine-day, (the last day of each month,) sometimes in time to be forwarded to this coun try on the Ist, and sometimes not for. warded until a few days later. But, on the average, a complete English copy of each serial would arrive in this country about the 16th of each month, which might be re-pub lished in the Tribune some days before Har per's Magazine usually appears. Therefore, though the Tribune did anticipate Ilittrut's publication of " Little Dorrlt," and has "be gun to copy" Mr. THACKERWS "Virginians," there is no pretence for the accusation or complaint that such copying was from Har per's Magazine. Strictly speaking, the Tri• base was fully competent, if it pleased, to an ticipate Harper, by reprinting "Little Dor rit," and " Tho Virginians," copying from the original English issue of DICKENS and THACHERAY. IR reply to Messrs. HARPERS' card, the Tribune puts forth a statement, in petit:lca tion, to the effect that, once upon a time, a certain young publisher of New York, who had paid Diettins for early sheets of a new j woitlati overtaken by certain pirates named HARPER, who made a reprint from a copy' of what the said young publisher had issued, and sold such reprinted (or stolen) copies at half-price, thereby causing serious Injury to the said young man. But, even admitting the truth of this, it has no relative connection with the case before us. Had Messrs. HAR PER done wrong a thousand times over, would it justify the Tribune in doing wrong a single time? The . Tribune's actual defence is that Messrs. HARPER did not avail themselves of the privileges for which, in each case, they had paid two thousand dollars, and, by such neglect, had enabled the Tribune to anticipate them, by giving earlier reprints of cc Little Dorrit" and "The Virginians," from the ori ginal English editions. In proof of this comes the fact that, some months ago, Messrs. IlAnrun made a contract with Sir EDWARD SWAYER LITTON, for early sheets of his new English novel, cc What will we do with it?" now publishing in Blackwood's Magazine. Instead of keeping these early sheets back—so that what appeared in Black wood's Magazine for November would only appear in Harper's Magazine for December—it appears in Harper's weekly Journal of Civili zation long before any copy of Blackwood con taining it possiblycan roach this country. This really anticipates all chance of reprinting from Blackwood, by way of competition. We write this on December 4th, some twelve days before Harper's weekly Journal of Civilization can reach this country, and already have wo road, in Harper's weekly, (the last two numbers,) most, if not all, of what shall regularly reach us in Blackwood a fortnight hence, it we take the Edinburgh edition, and a few days later, if—following the example of cc all the world" here—we wait for the cheap and accurate fac simile reprint of Maga supplied by those enter prising friends of literature, LEONARD SCOTT & Company, New York, publishers of the leading English periodicals. When Messrs. HARPER re-published " Lit tle Dorrit," they had no medium but their Magazine through which to present it to the American public. Now, that they have a weekly newspaper of their own, which we road with pleasure, (always skipping the "Bohemian" mock gentility, and the gentle dulness of as The Lounger,") It is surprising that, having also had previous experience of the Tribune's action with respect to " Little Dorrit," they did not throw "The Virgi nians" Into their weekly publication, and thus defy competition—as for piracy, that is out of the question. As the law now stands, the Tribune has full right to reprint the English aerial, at its earliest convenience. Summing up the case, which we have endeavored to consider fairly in its various points, we think that, by keeping back "The Virginians " for their Magazine, and not im mediately issuing it (as in re Bulwer) in their Weekly Journal of Civilization, they left a loop-hole, through which a sharp practitioner might creep in and catch them. They have been NO caught by the Tribune beyond doubt. But, for our own part, anxious as we aro for an early reading of TIIACKERAY'S new work, wo certainly shall not turn the Tribune's re print, as we prefer having c , The Virginians" on the good paper and with the clear typo of Harper's Magazine, with the additions of the author's own illustrations, which, though clumsy enough at times, have the merit of being characteristic, Mr. J. Ladue was on board the steamer Cleveland during tho recent terrible storm on the Lakes, when the steamer was within an inch of being wrecked. Ile speaks of tho courage of the passengers. saying: In the midst of the unflinch ing courage displayed on every hand, shines still brighter the courage of a woman who was one of the passengers, the brighter as it stands in con tract with tho shoor cowardice of a oravamsoulod man who was aboard. That man was a French man, and not an Englishman, as we stated Tutor day. Ile absolutely refused to work, when a woman—which should have brought a burning blush of shame upon his cheeks, if ho was pos sessed of any manhood—stepped forward and volunteered to take his place. That woman's name NFU Miss li. Wishard, of Milwaukee. The passongors, however, would not allow her to work. Her noble behavior upon this occasion won for her the admiration and esteem of every ono on board.

THE TIME TO PRAY. UT GRAYBEARD. fres The Press The Bible teaches that "there is a time for all things ;" and acting upon the principle that Order Is not only "Heaven's first law," but also a component part of every well-organ 'zed mind, men have accepted this Scriptural motto and gxesnplify it' in what they call sys tematizing their business. 'Common sense, in its most exalted sense, feels the propriety of this Divine provision; and admits that there is a time—i. e., a proper time, and consequently an improper time for everything; that there is a time, for example, to work—as to work at all times would be destructive to health and life; a time to test—which is not when we have duties to perform and are able to perfoim them ; a time to eat,--whieh is not at all times, as that would he gross gluttony; a time to sleep—which is not when the' sun is above the horizon, as'fhat would be reversing the order of natureA-t(To this rule the printers of a morning paper of throe form an exception 1) a time to drink--which is when we are thirsty, not always when afriend invites us; ,a, time to speak—which shonid. only be when we have something to say; a time to laugh—which is not in the house of God, or while sorrowing ones are around us ; a time to mourn—which is not in this house of feasting and a time to fight—which our non-resistance: friends will allow us tOisay, is when our lives, Our friends, or our country, needs Our defence. But, not to lose sight of our subject; there is a time to , inai, When 't There '•is a little verse of thl'Oe words, contained in the autho rity from which we haVe already quoted, which says, 4s Pray without ceasing." This monopoly of prayer, as some have termed it,laust not be understood as an in junction for us to continue at all times in the attitude of formal prayer, and it is only a sneering inlidelity that would willingly torture this text into aueh an absurdity; yet, properly considered, this divine command of conti nuing instal/tin prayer" is ono to which the heart that is right with its Maker accedes. That man, for example, has not yet learned the Alpha Of Isiti.dtsty aaa Chtistian—whether professing:infisoskiwofsistii4 7 -who does 'not constantlyrealfze his '4dr:senders - cis upon God for all that he has and is, and who, upon feeling this dependence, does not continually strive to shape hie life and conversation iu such a man nee as to continnold God's favor; and he who does thlijulflis this divine requirement ; for practically, the ever-present internal acknow ledgment-of a man's need of help from above (and which need has been over uppermost in the minds of many of the wisest of the sons of' this and other Christian lands) may truly be said to constitute a life of unceasing prayer. But there are times when seasons for prayer and public devotion of a more stated charac ter are oMineritly proper, and essential to the Christian groWth of the community. As to how frequent these seasons should bo made, any decision that man might make would be necessarily arbitrary. This much, however, it may be safe to predicate, that as the world progresses onward and upward toward that state of moral elevation that is to usher in the millennial day, the emblems ofman's reverence for his Creator must become more anti snore general. In a recent number of TUE PEEKS the fact Vas announced that a daily prayer meeting was being held in one of the churches in a sister city, between the hours of twelve and one P. M., for the convenience of merchants and others, and which was meeting with remark able anaemia. Since then, our attention has been called to the fact, that a similar meeting has been commenced in the lecture-room of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Fourth street, below,Arch, for the purpose, as their circular expresses it, of "giving merchants, mechanics, clerks, strangers and business men, generally, an opportunity to stop and call upon God amid the daily' perplexities incident to their respec tive avocations." There should bo no objection made to this movement by the friends of Christianity, as the more general these spiritual exercises be comei the !nom efficient will be our co-opera tion Witlt`God in bringing about that predicted time { ctien even " the bells of the horses" shall 441'1*as the inscription, and ring out the DIDAVZOUNID33 DATO VIE LORD I" RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. Editor of The Press : I do not think either of the writers in your paper has given a deep view of the financial crisis, or has given the remedy or preventive. My view of the subject is, that we are suffer ing now from the overtrading speculation, ex travagance, and borrowing and lending of the last ten years, caused by importations, banks, and by grants and sales of public lands to speculators, as individuals or companies, caus ing too much capital and labor to be engaged in non-productive employment; that Is, import ing and distributing foreign goods, manufactur ing and distributing domestic goods beyond the wants of the people, in luxury, idleness, Vice; thereby,building cities, railroads, canaht, telegraphs; &c., and all their various interests, faster or in advance of what is required by the amount of labor and capital employed in agri culture, and by the diffusion of the labor and capital employed in agriculture over a large extent of territory, causing its productiveness to be diminishe'd. The importations arc the most fruitful cause or evil, and cause the demand for banks, which, by inflating the currency and . raising prices, increase the importations, and the number of persons engaged trading. Tho importer sends out for as many goods as his means and credit enable him to buy ; they are stored in the bonded warehouse—on the security of these goods, he gets money' from bank, pays duties, or sends for more goods; sells his goods for Vas ; has those notes discounted. His customer, the jobber, sells goods, gets notes for them, has them discounted; buys more goods; has the notes he gets for them discounted. The retailer gets his goods from the jobber, and, influenced by the quantity and variety of goods in jobbers' stocks, and by competition with his rivals, buys largely, and makes great exertions to sell to consumers by giving long credit—keeping a large stock in a beautiful store. The discounts and deposits of the importer, jobber, and retailer form the basis of banking operations and inflations of the currency, which, by raising prices, increase the business of importing and distributing goods, which stimulate banking. This continues until the crash comes. The importers, jobbers, retailers, and banks build, and cause to be built, palaces for bank ing, warehouses, stores, palatial residences, city and country railroads, for distribution of goods; hotels, theatres, opera houses, gambling and houses of ill-fame, &c., &c., to make the city attractive and increase its trade. Labor and capital are attracted to the city to share in its seeming profitable business, its luxury, its vice, to engage, in its manifold non-productive employments. The manufacturers and dealers in domestic goodsform large companies Nvith immense capi tal, and owing to expanded currency, caused by banks and importations, are able to raise money and continue their operations with seeming profit for some time, and assist in tho general inflation and overtrading, but the im portations and expanded currency soon crush them. A large proportion of banking operations are engaged in facilitating the business of im porting and distrituting foreign goods; im portations increase banking business, banks increase importations. The National Government, by its sales and grants of land to speculators, bas assisted in causing the evils under which we labor, by causing capital and labor engaged in agricul ture to be diffused over too great an extent of territory, thereby making it expensive to con vey produce from the producer to the con sumer; capital and* labor that ought to bo en gaged in producing food is engaged in specu lating in land and food and in transporting food, through the mismanagement of the Government. I propose as a remedy for, and preventive of, hard times, that the National Government shall enact a tariff' to restrict all importations, not for the purpose of protecting manufactures; but to restrict tho employment of capital and labor in importing and distributing foreign goods, and in other consequent non-product ive employments, and to restrict, conse quently, the export of breadstutfs and specie. That the National Government shall discon tinue the sales and grants of public lands, tr cept to actual settlers, in limited quantities, n condition of immediate cultivation, in order to prevent the employment of capital and labor in manufacturing beyond the wants of the pea pie, by presenting this great inducement to labor to engage in agriculture, thereby lessen ing the amount of labor at the disposal of the manufacturer, and diminishing the tendency of laborers to congregate in cities. That the Natio n al Government shall refuse to permit the States to charter banks of circula tion, and shall cause provision to be made for the gradual withdrawal of their notes ; their place to be supplied by Treasury notes not lower in denomination than twenty-five dollars, and not to exceed in amount one-half of the bank circulation withdrawn. E. P. K. MATTERS AND THINGS IN NEW YORK. (From the Now York papers.] THE WOOD-SAWYER'S BET —Before the elec tion, two merchants of this city. S. A. Gilbert (Wood mon) and James Brown, (Tieniann,) agreed upon an election bet, the condition of which was, that one whose candidate should be defeated should forfeit twenty-five dollars or saw a load of wood in front of the Girard. The 'fulfilment took place 10-day, at ono o'clock, when Mr. Gilbert be came, if note veritable hewer, a sawyer of wood. Ho began upon his pile of pine, sawing each stick in four pieces, and soon raised such a blister on his hands, that his victorious but compassionate friend Brown, who was overseer of the work, was fain to lend him a pair of yellow kids, to complete the job. By-and-by ho got dry, and with diffi culty obtained permission to liquidate his obliga tions, and while doing so, received permission to diseontinue the work. lie, however, refused to avail himself of the privilege, and if ho has not ..ono away, is still sawing, as the reporter loft film.

Cincinnati Markets Hess AT CINCIVNATI, o.—The arrivals have been very largo during the week, and the trade hao partaken of that activity and beetle peculiar to it in this city at this season. A large decline has been established, however, during the week, amounting to 75e per cwt. This decline may he attributed to the largo arrivals, bad weather, and but a very limited demand for the Hog product. The transactions each day were as follows: Wednesday, 2,363, averaging 190 to 210 lbs, at 55.50a43.75. Thursday was Thanksgiving day, and no sales were recorded. The market was dull, however, and prices tended downward. Friday-1,100 head bold at $5 to $5.50, averag ing 170 to 225 lbs Saturday-2.600 head sold at $3 a $5.15, closing very dull, with no buyers, and weather unfa vorable.

CITY POLICE—DECEMBEa 4 [Reported for The Pres., J A BLACK DANDY UNRICCED —Old Phil Mackey, a colored speculator, keeps an "establishment in Lombard street, where he hires out fashionable apparel to ambitious Ethiopian ladies and gentle men who desire to make a sensation on Sundays and other holidays, and who are prudent enough to do the genteel thing in the most economical manner. Old Phil charges twentrfivo cents For diem for the loan of a stylish dress-coat, suitable for a nigger gentleman of the largest pretensions, twelve and a half cents for a vest of the " loud est " pattern, and proportionably low prices for all other outside garments, including satin dresses, flounced up to the very waist, magnificent shawls, and other fixtures adapted to the wants of his lady customers. On Saturday evening an aspiring young darkey, named Elisha Prince, went to Phil's emporium and obtained a complete outfit for the ensuing Sabbath. The transformation was marvellous; when he en. toredPhirs premises he was as ragged as Lazarus, when he came out be might has u been mistaken for Fred Douglass, or some other dashing specimen of African perfeeitbility. Old Phil, before Elisha's departure, gave him a strict charge to return the fashionable garniture punctually, at the expira tion of the time mentioned in the contract. Elisha was bound by that contract to redeliver the goods before eight o'clock on Monday morning. But, like Cinderella, ho was so intoxicated with his splendor, that ho forgot the injaustions of the wizard who had transformed him, and this forget fulness, on his part, led to sorrow and disgrace. From early dawn to deny ere. on Monday, Phil was engaged in hunting up his delinquent' custo mer, but the search was ineffectual. About three o'clock P. M., on Tuesday, the anxious eyes of old Phil discerned the gay and graceful form of Elisha moving over the payment near the intersection of Sixth and South streets. Ile was escorting a pair of African belles—the very cynosures of negrodorn, daughters of a retired white-washer, supposed to be gelato wealthy. It appears that Elisha had just popped the question to ene of these dark com plexioned beauties, and was waiting in trembling expectation for her answer. At this clitical moment ho feels a rough grasp on his collar, and the well-known voice of old Phil shouts in his ear: "Off with dern fixins, you black porpus! Didn't I toll you toy must be fetch back early en Monday morning? Gib 'em up right away!" The two ladies were overwhelmed with astonish ment and dismay when old Phil tore off first the coat and then the waistcoat from the back of their fascinating beau; but when the ruthless despoiler declared, in no very elegant phrase, that he had a claim on the pantaloons elm the affrighted girls screamed and fled with as much precipitation its their extensive crinoline would allow. Nothing but the prompt interference of an officer prevented the unhappy Elisha from being completely stripped of his borrowed plumes, and it was found Necessary to make an arrest of old Phil to keep him from making a visible breach of decorum in his despe rato efforts to get possersion of all his property.
