Her lover suggested a silken brocade, • Pink, purple, and lilac, and many a abode; A. Win, e velvet, a rich grenadine, In which, at the ball room, of fashion the queen, Bite might, with her raiment and graces allied, Bring her foes to her feet. and her beaux to her aide, Of ladies the envy. of lovers the pride. In vain were hie pleadings, w th logic and Mall, Her reason was dead, and bad left her a will, "And the will, In expression, had made her the heir Of that quartet of syllablea, '*Nothing to wear." The lover insisted; her vows she forgot, And called him a monster, a base Hottentot. The foot that was cloven no longer ccncealing, Ho was fairly exposed as a man without feeling. She had heard full enough, and cite wished for no more. He saw that it might not be prudent to linger, And Heisting his heaver, he made for the door, To whialiehe was pointing her gem-lighted enger, And stopping a moment, to breathe on the square, Heard a cry of distress, -rr i have nothing to wear." The maiden was right; she was naked, indeed, With the vesture of innocence bartered away; 'Mid the pomp of the world she was feeling the need 01 the mantle of faith on her shoulders to lay.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1857 PARLIAMENTARY REFORM The Ministerial Manifesto, commonly called ce tha Speech from the Throne," read by Queen Vicroma on the opening of the session of Parliament, on the 3d instant, actually makes a promise of Parliamentary reform.: Lord PALMERSTON evidently is afraid of any longer resisting the rightful demands of the British people. Something must bo done; and the world may depend on it that PALMERSTON will take good care, as far as his power and hide once extend, that the people shall have just as little Reform as he can possibly contrive. Tory, as he is, to the back-bone, he will not willingly essay any question granting power to the masses. Re will cheat them, if they let him, with a mere apology for what they are en titled to. In this Key-Stone State, where every man who pays a tax is entitled to vote, at general and local elections, we dare say that the limi tation of the voting privilege is looked upon with considerable contempt. Many sound Democrats, all over the State of Pennsyl vania, would scarcely believe that in England no man can vote except he possess property to an aniount beyond what a horny-listed son of labor has any chance of ever obtaining, or unless Ito occupy a dwelling rated for local and Government taxes at the yearly rental of $5O per anmun. To agitate for an alteration in this system is considered almost seditious, and entirely" vulgar." There was a time, within the memory of living men, when an advocate of this change, which then went by the name of Radical Reform, was literally a marked man, looked upon as disaffected and jacobini cal, suspected of revolutionary designs, hunted and dogged by policemen and Government spies, and seldom parted with until after his spirit had been broken by accusation, trial, con viction, and hard imprisonment. In those days, when MajOT CARTWRIGHT, and HENRY .HUNT, JOHN CAM HODHOESE, and a few more men of substance, used to wear white hats, to designate their political opinions, any humbler follower who adopted a head-covering of the same sort was liable to be insulted, if not assaulted, in the name of the law," by special con• stables of unequivocal ct loyalty i" and this game of cross-purposes went on until the good sense of the late Lord CASTLEREAGH put an end to it. One day, this leader of the Tory or anti-Radical party crossed Palace Yard; to the House of Commons, wearing a white hat with a brim of exemplary latitude, and from that moment white-hatism was ex tinguished, as a political or party demonstra tion. But the, feeling which it represented was not extinguished. Under many disadvan tages it continued to burn on Like the bright harp that lay on Kildare's holy shrine.' After many years of struggling, what goes by the name of Parliamentary Refortn was taken up, literally as a party rellying-point, by the Whigs, immediately after the accession of WILLIAM IV. Though, every now and then, a grand debate was got up, in Parliament, on this Reform question, to enable the Whigs to make a few ad captandune speeches, (for the Whigs have loudly professed themselves to be, par excellence, " the Friends of the People,") nothing was done to make it into a reality. At last, when the Wellington Cabinet was weak, in the fall of 1830, duet after the euccessful revolutions in Paris and Brussels,) the Whig office-seekers raised the cry of "Reform!" and when WELLINGTON and PEEL refused to respond to it, Lord GREY and his friends came into power. After a prolonged contest with theirThey_oppeeente t in which beilLemenee_ did their best to preserve Whir own usurpa tions and grant as little as possible to the Peo. pie, the Reform Bill was passed. Tho multi tude, deceived and flattered, believed those who metaphorically described it as "The Se cond Magna Charts." But time, says the poet, at last sots all things oven. A brief experience of the new measure showed how little actual benefit was "likely to accrue from it to the people. The Whigs, in truth; had done little more than pass a measure the direct tendency and ope ration of which was to preserve their own political influence in the boroughs and coun ties, and destroy all the influence, from poli tical and personal causes, hitherto possessed by their antagonists, the Tories. The great principle of representation—that every man should have a vote for his parlia mentary representative—was abandoned by the Whigs. They based the elective franchise upon property, not on a citieen's inherent right to have a voice in the choice of a person who, in his name—in the name of the Com mons at large—have the power of making lows and imposing taxes. Here is a case to which Dr. FitneeLie's celebrated illustration may be said to apply. A man by keeping a donkey may be enabled to make as much money as allowed him to pay £lO a year of rent. Should the donkey die, and the man's income be curtailed by the loss of his services, it clearly would appear that, not the man, but the donkey had the voting power. The question of vote by ballot was wholly thrown over by the Reforming Whigs—as they called themselves. Then arose a body of real Reformers, the working class of England and Scotland, who framed The Charter— whence their name Chartists—whereby Uni versal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, Annual Parlia ments, No, Property qualification for mem bers, and the fair division of the country into electoral districts, should be granted. The Chartists were. opposed, of course, by Whig and Tory, but they have a large organization, too powerful to be any longer neglected. Anxious to return to office, Lord JOHN Res- SELL, son and brother of a Duke, and a nominal friend of the people—announced, three years ago, that he would introduce a bill into Par liament for amending and extending the Re form Bill of 1832. He has taken the matter very lightly, being a mere poplar* hunter. Early this year, Lord PALMERSTON announced that he would introduce a bill for the same purpose as RUSSELL'S promised one, and have it before Parliament early in 1858. We do not believe that he had any intention of doing this, his simple purpose being to out-bid Lord lone RUSSELL, and trust to the chapter of accidents to give him a plausible excuse for still further delaying it. The troubles In India, and the financial condition of England, were assigned by Lord PALMERSTON'S journals as giving suffi cient reasons why his promised Reform bill 0110111 d 7101 be presented now. But the popular demand has swelled from a whisper ,into a shout, and, front tile throne Itself, Queen Vie- Tonle has been compelled to repeat the pro mise of Parliamentary Reform made by her Premier. We are curious to know what the Government measure shall be. It' any public man in England knows how to Keep the word of promise to the ear And break it to the hope, Lord PALMERSTON undoubtedly is that man. Thu British people, however, appear re solved not to let the matter pass thus easily. They want The Charter—with the Ave points or principles above named. Against them is an array of members of Parliament, headed by •RoEnecx; who have concocted a josh milieu plan of Reform, *rimed with the inten tion of disarming the opposition of Whig and Tory, and, therefore, a sorry substitute for the broad principles embodied in The Charter. They have hinted an address, In 'which they very truly and concisely stay to the People of Great Britain and Ireland: "The existing machinery for the constitutional expression of public opinion is inadequate, and to a largo extent untrustworthy. The constituent body is needlessly restricted, Considerable portions of It are exposed to the disturbing action of illicit in fissures. A large majority of members is returned by a small minority of electors. The legal term of Parliaments iq too long to Insure the responsi bility of representatives to the represented. Them are the main defects of the present system.

Reform Bill that will moody thesa de fects will no doubt satisfy you," Then follows what the ROEBUCK and ,hie friends call « a broad outline of Parliamentary Reform." It runs thus : "1. The extension of the borough franoistie in England and Wales to ovary male person of full age, and not subjcot to any legal incapacity; who shall °cow, as owner or tenant, in part or whole, any premises within the borough which are rated to the relief of the poor. "2. The extenslon of the county franetiso in England and Wales to all £lO occupiers, at least; and the assimilation, as far as possible, of the franchise in Sootland and Ireland to those of Eng land and ‘Vales. "3. Protootton to the voter by the ballot on a plan similar to that adopted in the Australian colonies. "4. A re•apportioumont of motile, 'that shall make such an approach to an equalization of oon atituonaica rta shall give in the United Kingdom a majority df members to' a: majority of Ciedo7B. "5. Abolition of property 9,Milifieation of Mem.• bets, "O. The calling of a Dow Parliament every three years." This is excessively vague. Instead of claiming that every tax-payer shall have a rote, it virtually deprives the greater portion of the mechanics and laborers of the United Kingdom of all power of voting. It declares that a mere lodger, however intelligent and wealthy, shall not vote. Having a house, and being «rated to the relief of the poor," is the sole qualification. This will never do. Yet we do not expect even as much as this from the Ministerial measure which Queen VICTO RIA has been made to promise. If, as we are informed, Mr. ROEBUCK drew up what is to pass as a ac broad outline of reform," we are not surprised at its being unsatisfactory. A nominal liberal, he has over been tho 0pp0. 7 nent of what is called Chartism. MAGAZINES FOR JANUARY. Harper's Magazine, which Peterson retails at fifteen cents a copy, comes to us with se veral additional features of value and interest. The new number contains an original story, called Tim Doom of the Griffiths," written expressly for Harper, by Mrs. Gasket!, author of "Mary Barton," and "Memoirs of Char lotte Bronte." It a story of deep tragic in terest, impressively told. Further, there is the continuation of Mr. Medea IlemWs new story, (also written for Harper,) and of , c The Virginians," by Thackeray. There is the promise, for the February number, of a new tale by Wilkie Collins, author of Tho Dead Secret." The opening article, by Mr. T. Addison Richards, is a long, hand somely illustrated notice of N. P. Willis, and his country residence, on the Hudson, which ho calls Idlewild. Mr. Richards is the artist as well as the author of this eulogium. His sketches are admirable, and his descrip tions not deficient in giaplaie force. Now and then, ho used odd words, such as 04/- directed," and c( belifffed." Another illustra ted paper is number four of "A Winter in the South," also by an author-artist. It contains an account of a perilous night-descent of The Trembling Fork, by the Bald Mountain, on the ridge between Tennessee and North Caro lina, which, for force of narrative, equals anything wo have read for years. There is also a good sketch of Kan Foster, a gal lant mountaineer, and an episode of por trait-taking among the hills. Among the miscellaneous articles is an agreeable story called ,( Letitia's Bridal Gifts," with the moral not too prominent, and "Throe Chapters of Mr. Life." Mr. Reado'a new story brings us behind the scones of the Adolph! Theatre, in London, with a particular account of Mademoiselle D'jels, the acting elephant.

It is easy to see how this will be cleared up, but surely this familiarity with Washington, who io placed in a false, and not very seemly position, is earner/hat of a gra tuitous impertinence. Apropos of January, there ix a two:page • • • ' •' . whlk.b.„.tat, ing story of haps an mishaps - From the Editor's Drawer, wo cull a I . olv amusing odds and ends : John Morgan was a merebant and ship-owner, formerly residing in Hartford, Connecticut. Ho made a contrast with a builder to build him a vessel; when the vessel was partly finished, and he had received payment for all he had done, he went to Mr. M., and told hint that ho bad ascer tained that he could not build the vessel for the price agreed, no ho should lose all be was worth, and perhaps more, and had therefore concluded to abandon the job where it was, and let him get some one else to finish it. This was a poser to M., who, after thinking of It a few moments, said to him : "Well, well, you go on with It, and when we settle consider you," which to the builder was satisfactory. 110 therefore went on until the job was finished, M. advancing money front time to time. When they came to settle, M. drew his check for the balance due according to contract; the builder stood and hesitated a while, and then Bald • "You know,Mr. Morgan, you said that if I would go on with he job you would consider me."

The weather is !toyer just right, and their crops aro all bound to be reined ; but after they are in, they do love to tell what famous ones they have had, and how much work they did in no time at all getting them tinder cover. "Out in Michigan, last summer," writes a friend, "a number of Coroners were sitting in front of a country store, at the close of a sultry day, and telling stories about their work, and so on, when one of them took the rag off tho whole of them by relating his ex perionce : ' I day, you have all told whopping big yarns now ; but I'll just toll you what 1 done once in York State, on the Genesee Flats, and on my father's farm. Ho owned a meadow just n mile long, and one morning in Juno I begun to mow—sun about an hour high—and mowed rijklit along the whole length of the field The grass was so heavy that I had to mow down to the lower and of the field and walk, or, as we say, "carry my:worth." Well, I worked on till sundown, and thou quit. I just thought, as the meadow was exactly a mile long, I'd count the swathe, and I did, and there was ob. hundred !

Tho other day I over took ono of my scholars as ho was walking in the street, and I thought I would embrace the oppor tunity to make an impression on his mind in ro• feronoo to his future. So taking him kindly by the bond, I went on to talk to him about being a ministor when be should grow to be a man, and preaching to the people. When I had set before him, in the most glowing words I could commend, the greatness of the calling, and the wonderful good ho might be the means of doing, Tasked him If he would not like to be engaged in such a work!

Now, what are the ttioNs? Before attempting to consider this, it may be proper to state that this is nomroseribed inquiry. The Saviour, indeed, re• baked the people as "hypocrites," in the days of his Incarnation, for "discerning the face of the sky and of the earth," hut tt was not a rebuke upon their ability to road correctly the 14 119 of the rising of a cloud In the west, or the blowing of thesouth wind, but rather upon their inability to "04.tre)21 the figot of Ike timed" So, with this objection announced, we pro ceed le cobrrot assoiher, via: that all prcgno• stiolqms about fitiz +reamer and the seasons are but toutperm i t i civ elfalth In the weather-wise phi. toseitty or athianae-makera-r to dowry the meteorological gymnastics of the fu ture are so ninny forbidden attempts to penetrate the yell of the unrevealcd. Both of these objec tions are futile, and would apply with equal farce to the pro calculation of eclipses by astronosole sci ence, or the thwarting of the thunderbolt by taking advantage of the laws of electricity. The truth Is, there is no knowledge pertaining strictly to this world which man has not a perfect right to attain unto, if he ran, though it is equally true that in certain departments of knowledge the most pow• artist efforts that have hitherto been turtle by man kayo not yet secured to him an elevation equal to the brute. Yielding due deference to the use of terms, it is of course admitted that what we c all incolehre, in the OHO case, is properly a more in stin^t in the outer; yet this itself should teach us a lemon of humility, for, call it by nhatet er terns we may, the sagacity of brutes is, in ninny respects, superior to ours. 6 , Awl reason rater o'er instinct at yo u Can , lu this 'tit God auras ; to that 'Us man." Tie examples of there self-preserving instincts amcng the inferior animal creation are numerous. Tie now-fledged songsters of our lartude in suumer, without any of our boasted geographic knowledge, take up their intuitive flight at the approach of winter; not eastward, nor wolward, nor northward, but roc/throats,/ they fly to a more congenial clime. Another re. malably sagacious feature in the char.teter of :attain members of this feathery tribe is, that when they return to us in spring they bold their nests in comparatively exposed ritua time in dry seasons, and bettcr•straltercd in wet ono, and, indeed, so infallible are they in thus an.triiniting the character of the season, that Keens observant of this circumstance have oft tines predicted with groat certainty whether the raison was going to be wet or dry. A natural io disation, to which much significance is attached in sotto quarters, is, that when the corn-husks are gin, it is ominous of a mild winter, and should tlis boa relittblir index—from whet farmers tell ut—the coming winter is not likely to be severe. Another noticeable circumstance in favor of ci ebnilar oonolusion, is the fact that we have just had tiree successive winters of extraordinary severity, std aeon the reasonable principle of "a uniform aggregate in the weather," we tatty conclude front this that the ono about to be initiated will differ, brorOhly to the poor, trout the preceding three in thir respect. To draw another inference from a neutral pule tomenon—(and which to the mind accustomed to trace the beneficence of Clod in all his works, is full of affecting boauty)—we hare learned, both from our -own observation and the experience of ethers, that reasons failing to produce a full supply of provender for the cattle are uniformly followed with a short winter, in order to wake the supply sufficient. Thus does the eloator "feed the young ravens," and execute his office of preserve. lion- Welt may we exclaim with the immortal Cowper, "clod moves in a mysterious way His wontiors to perform; Ile plants his footsteps in tho P. 03, And rides upon the storm "' But if all this goodnoss is lavished upon the brute that periehoth, what may we not eapoct for his human offspring' If " two sparrows that are sold for a farthing," shall not fall to the ground without his watchful notice, how ungrateful it would be for us to doubt his bounteous dealings to wards the thousands now in our midst, who aro in an extraordinary manner dependent upon his mer cy ! The writor is, therefore, of the opinion, with out consulting the scientific onunciations of either Maury or Chapman—(both of which gentlemen he believes aro now engaged in prosecuting a high or der of scientific invostigation)—that the season be foro us will be, in its physical aspects, favorable to the poor; and as to the Providential ruse which is needed, not only for the poor, but for all—at this time and all tittles, there is a sate way to obtain it, and that is by an intelligent reliance upon him who has promised to be " a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, and a shadow from the heat."

FROM CALIFORNIA. SiN FRANCISCO, November 19, 18.17 FORNEY'S PRILADELPRIA PRESS, the De mocratic Press of Pennsylvania (California edition) is here. Its appearance at this crisis, and the instruction it presents, is of incalcula ble veins to our citizens at this time. The patriotic feelings of all who have been good citizens of the old Keystone of the federal arch, joyously respond to the success of the Democratic party in your recent political campaign, and the intellectual vehicle which brings the tidings is held up with pride by every Pennsylvanian. We have long looked for a sheet that would fairly represent the in telligence and the political principles of oar former homes; and now that we have the much-desired object, no matter where located, whether as transient residents or permanent citizens, we can proudly present Tun Puna" to our fellow-men who have come from other States, as a specimen organ of the Democracy, in which no sectionalism, fanaticism, or din. unionism can have advocacy, patriotism—true patriotism—that is, the establishment of equal rights, which elevate mankind—being the only issue to be found in its columns. The "Familiar Life of Pennsylvania," giving the social habits of the Dunkees, was much wanted in California, and if we learn to imitate those plain-spoken, honest and useful citizens, we need no tariffs of taxation, be cause we can here grow and make up all that is absolutely wank(' for subsistence and hu man comfort, excepting women—bless the exception—and if you can induce five hundred of the Industrious girls now out of employment in your city to cones this way, you will pro mote the public good. They can .have front five to ten dollars neekly each, with mate certainty than any journeyman mechanic; be cause of these already we have a superabun dant supply for the labor market. I make this truth known despite the deceptive mis statements of immigrant associations, whose intent it is, being generally landlords, to have surplus labor, so they can reduce wages and Increase the hours of daily toil. This they have so far accomplished as to pay two dollars to laboring hands on the public streets fora daily drudgery of eleven and a half hours, whilst hun dreds of good workers cannot get any work; still, we hope for better times, as the me chanics, artists, and laborers have commenced an organization for seMprobaction. This subject of working-men's societies brings me back to "the times that tried men's souls" in 1837, when the bankers and specula tors, for whose sole gain every bank of issue is chartered, bpollated the fartnera and working classes, generally, in like manner as has now been perpetrated by the same classes. The workeys bad been studying production,distribu t ion, and political economy in their primary schools, the trade societies. We were then told by the chief of the mammoth rag-money institution, that 'twos our duty to pay our fo reign creditors first. Until then we had thought ourselves giving credit to bankers when we took their lying promises as payment for labor done ; but we soon found that Mr. Biddle meant as he aaid, because, although ho would not pay ady note or bill issued by the United States Bank to any claimant in Philadelphia, he actually, at that very time, shipped off to England in ono night, putting the same aboard one of Caleb Cope's Liners, six dray-loads of specie. The unwelcome instruction thus given, so stirred up the workingmen that they speedily assembled in the State House yard to adopt measures for relief and future protection. Some twenty-two thousand of the usethl classes, without distinction of party, met, and then memorialized the President of the United States and Congress to enforce the observance of the 10th section, Ist article of the National Constitution, which expressly says: "No State shall omit bills of credit." The intelli gent men, thus convened, proclaimed the fact that every bank note is a bill of credit; but previous to that time, Charles J. Ingersoll, as profound a legist, and eloquent advocate of the priuciples of self-government as was then in Philadelphia, had, in reply to the citizens of Spring Garden, denounced the chartering of banks of issoo as being unconstitutional, and consequently illegal. When we look back and feel how much was left undone, all who now live °fillet bander brotherstuust regret that that we did not effectually reform. or remove, the evil, yet, mayhap, we did all that existing knowledge enabled us to perform; and, albeit the bankers still continue their encroachments, kliki,c„agaT of the city proper by the Demo • o I,llllllllllllll' - 11'&1.11.15 erotic banner over this stronghold of bankWg and monopoly shows the spirit of the workles is tip at this crisis; and now, if faithful to their constituents, a Democratic Governor, and a Democratic Legislature, both can and will adopt ways and means to secure for the people their national currency of gold and silver. Let them begin with an Independent Trea miry system, naking taxes to he paid in coin and all disbursements for public purposes be met in like manner. This would secure a large quantity of our California domestic pro duets for use among our brothers at home, and thus preserve them front transportation to foreign countries, whose people prefer them for use rather than accept paper pictures which their emitters audaciously call money.

Prievmrso —The police office this morning was irradiated by the presence of a pretty and rather styliehly-dressed young lady, Miss Louisa Cummings by name, who assists her mamma in attending to a email trimmings store in the south• ern part of the city. Mies Cummings was attended by a thin young gentleman, of the lymphatic tem perament, with light curly hair, and large, round blue eyes, whose mime pieced to be d:divard L Pearce. With a fascinating lisp. Miss Louim stated that she came to have Edward bound over to keep the peace. Surprised by the suavity with which Louisa made and Edward listened to this re quest the magistrate inquired what wore the grounds of complaint, and the young lady gave the following statement : Mr. Pearce, (whose employment is described as " standing in a store,") is " engaged" to Miss C , who is persecuted, however, by the obstinate at tention of a rejected suitor, a brick-layer by trade, familiarly called Bob Durham. A few evenings ago, Pearce and Durham met in the street, and had an argument, in the course of which Bob Durham called Noddy l'oarce a "puppy," for which Pearce signified his determination to have gentle manly satisfaction, declaring his willinglivs to fight with any kind of weapon " from a needle to an anchor." Bob Durham was equally ready to do battle; and to prove that he really intended to execute something horrible, he called on Itliss,,Cummings, and made the following alarming communication : "‘Loulser," (said he eoletunly,) "you have treated use shabbily, as you well know, but I am going to show a magnanimous example, to let you eco that I forgive you.. I suppose if that sneaking fellow, Pearce. were brought here with the little brains he ever had blown clean out, it would make you feel rather uncomfortable, and you'd go to going on as If something awful had happened." ' Louisa confessed that such au event would be decidodly unpleasant to her feelings. Well," continued the rejected laver, '• he and are going, to fight a terrible duel with double loaded horse-pistols. lie can't shoot any more than a lobster, while I am a first-rate shet, and can bit a pumpkin at six paces. So just as a favor to you, I have come to advise you to run to the Mayor's, and let him know what a frightful trage dy is about to bo enacted. If you don't have Pearce bound over, and keep him from meeting me, I promise you s on the word of a gentleman and e. man of honor, that ho will be a bloody corpse before two o'clock P. M. to-morrow." We need scarcely say that Miss Louisa eagerly accepted the advice, and ehe was pleased to find that 'Edward required but little persausion to be bound over. Indeed ho appeared to be rather re. liovad in mind, and one or two of his acquain• taneos who happened Mho in court smiled incredu lously when Mr. Pearce remarked as ho departed " I had set my hearten fighting that there duel, and it's a terrible vexation to too to loco the chime° of riddling that sneak's gizzard ; but I sacrifice my honorable resentment to spare the feelings of Louisor."
