A Book tom Florence Niglttlogale.
Very little has been heard of Florence
Nightingale since the War in tho Crimea,
when, with a solf,devotion which History and
Humanity NM unite to place in immortal re
collection, she exhibited that practical philan
thropy which, to their honor he it recorded,
her sox have always unostentatiously exercised
in mitigation of bodily or mental anguish.
Thero aro few, very few occasions, when Wo
man is called upon to act In public. She
flourishes best in seclusion,
but every Man of sense And feeling will con
fess that folds hour of bodily pain it is her
hand which has most gently ernoothcid his pil
low, her sympathy which in mental suffering
has poured; the most healing balsam into the
wounds of his spirit. It is the fashion to speak
too lightly of the gentler and hotter sex:—
none do It save those who have chiefly been
familiar with the worst speCimens of Woman
hood. • •
Somewhat over five years ago a noble band
of gentlewomen (we hate the conventional
substitute "ladles," and avoid using it,)
quitted Ragland to devote themselves, as far
as humanttid and tenderness could, to mitigate
some of the worst evils which relentless war
inflicts upon man, either in the battle field or
by the deadly diseases engendered from scan
ty feed,:encampment in unhealthy positions,
vicissitudes of weather, severity of climate,
and the many ether ills, infections ailments

inflicts upon the thousands who are necessi

Nighthagale rendered to her country, to say
nothing of the value to the world of such an
example of self-devotion, cannot im adequate

Such a woman neither sought nor would re
ceive any public acknowledgment for what she
did,., Title was offered her by Queen Victoria,
but all that she accepted from her Majesty, and
that as a mark of personal regard, was a deco
rative jewel, accompanied by an affectionate
autograph letter. Repeated invitations to
Courtwere sent her, but she declined them all,
until, finally yielding to Victoria's personal so
licitation, she went, to Balmoral, the remote
rural residence of Royalty, where she was in
troduced, by the Queen herself, to her chil

freela air from tho hills of Braemar. Finally,
when, to raise a suitable national testimonial,
a sum exceeding $600,000 was subscribed ' Flo-

FINS TO SUITS.
`Florence Nightingale, be it noted, had her
self voluntarily gone through such a course of
training as she has now provided for others.
:Boni in the year 1823, at Florence, (whence

nearly all the modern languages, and speaks
French, Italian, and German as fluently as
English. After travelling largely, particularly
in the East, Florence Nightingale voluntarily
placed herself in the well-known institution
at Kaiserwerth, on the Rhine, whore Pro
testant Sisters or Mercy are trained to nurse
the sick and perform other acts of charity. By
this time her hither had changed his hereditary
surname of SHORE to that of NIGHTINGALE, on
succeeding to the largo estate or Embloy Park,
Hampshire. After three months' severe
training at Kaiserwerth, in the summer of 1851,
during which she voluntarily relinquished the
only chance of visiting the Great Exhibition,
Florence Nightingale returned to England,
where she might have lived is the enjoyment
of every ease, comfort, and pleasure which
ample forteno could command or a highly cul
tivated mind enjoy. She placed herself at the
head of a Sanatorium for Governesses in
London, and speedily reduced its previously
antagonistic and redo elements into good
working-condition. Tho interval between
effecting this and volunteering to go to the
Crimea was passed in rural retirement. Since
her return, her health has not recovered its
tone. In fact, Florence Nightingale's active
discharge of self-imposed duties has left her
almost a confirmed invalid.
In her retirement, however, Florence Nigh
tingale—the glory of ono sox and the admira
tion of the other—has not been idle. It is im
possible that such a mind could rust In inac
tion. She has done what none other could do
so well—written a Handbook entitled g. Notes
on Nursing; what it is, and what it is not,"
which was published in London a fortnight
ago. This small volume is the result of her
practical experience in the art of caring for
the sick. In this country, as in England, the
duty of relieving human suffering is too much
left to children and old women. Our own Con- 1
sus returns do not place nurses among those
classed as having particular occupations. The
Census of Groat Britain and Ireland, also
taken in 1850, does so distinguish thorn, and
thence wo learn that of tho private nurses (do
mestic servants employed as nurses) in the
United Kingdom, nearly ono-half are under
twenty, while of public or professional nurses
about ono-half aro over alstv years of ago.
What sort of nurses the old women make may
be judged from Charlog Dickens' descriptions
In .g Martin Chusslawit." We, who have lived
many years in London, and have known it for
more than half our life, can aver, from per
sonal observation and from reliable reports
from the unhappy experience of others, that
Balmy Gamp and Betsey Prig are pretty accu
rate portraits, and by no means extravagant
caricatures of the olasa they conjointly repre
sent.
In England, then, and, it may be feared, in
this country, also, the duty of tending the sick
is assigned to those who are too young or too
old to do any thing else. Hence, no doubt,
the high rate of mortality among infants and
young children, as well as lu the number of
invalids who might have survived, had they
boon properly taken care of. Tho amount of
needless, or at least relievable suffering occa
sioned by careless, and, above all, by Ignorant
nursing, cannot be calculated.
Florence Nightingale's book, based on great
personal experience, and written by a high In-
tolloct, Is eminently practical. She knows
what ought to be done in a sick room, and she
teaches how to do it. A tender and sympa
thetic mind alone could have produced these
, c Notes on Nursing." Sho door not pretend
to teach a woman how to nurse, and. once in
her life, at least, every woman has to perform
this duty of affection, but she asks her to
teach herself, and gives hints for her teaching.
We shall let Florence Nightingale speak for
herself. Hero is an extract front her chapter
on Nolso :
Never to allow a patient to be waked, inten
tionally or accidentally, is a xiner 'lnd non of all
good nursing. If ho in roused out of his first sloop,
he is almost certain to have no more sleep. It is a
curious hut quite intelligible fact, that if a patient
is waked after a few hours' instead of a few
minutes' sleep, he Is melt more likely to sleop
again. Because pain, like irritability of brain, per
petuates and intensifies itself. If you have gained
a respite or either in sleep you have gained more
than the mere respite. Both the probability of
recurrence and of the same lotensity will be di
minished • whereas both will be terribly increased
by want of sleep. This Is the reason why sleep is
so all-important. This is the reason why a patient
waked in the early part of his sleep loses not only
his sleep, but his power to sleep. A healthy per

son who allows himself to sleep daring the day will
Mae his sleep at night. But it is exaotly the re
verie with the sick generally; the more they sleep,
the better will they beable to sleep.
"I have often been surprised at the thoughtless
ness (resulting in cruelty, quite unintentionally) of
friends or of dootors, who will hold a long conver
sation just in the room or passage adjoining to the
room of the patient, who Is either every moment
expecting them to tome in, or who hasjust seen
them, and knows they are talking about him. If
he Is an amiable patient, be wilt try to occupy his
attention elsewhere and not to listen; and this
makes matters worse—for the strain upon his at
tention and the effort ha makes, are so great that
it is well if he is not worse for hours after. If It
is a whispered conversation in the same room, then
it is absolutely cruel, for it is impossible that the
patient's attention should not be involuntarily
strained to heir. Walking on tip-toe, doing
anything in the room very slowly, are injurious,
for exactly the came reasons. A firm, light,
not the slow, lingering, shuffling foot—the timid,
quick step, a steady, quick hand are the desiderata ;
uncertain touch. Slowness Is notgentleness, though
it is often mistaken for ouch; quietness, light
ness, and gentleness are quite compatible. Again,
if friends and doctors did but watch, as nurses can
and should watch, the features sharpening, the
eyes growing almost wild, of fever patients who
are listening for the entrance front the corridor of
the persons whose yokes thereto beating there,
these would never run thelyikagalp of creating

necessary noise has or *gra;
voted delirium in many oases. I have known we lt
in one case death ensued. It is but lair to may that
this death was attributed to fright. It was the re-
suit of a long whispered conversation, within sight
of the patient, about an.lmpending operation ; but
anyone who has known the more than stoicism, the
cheerful coolness, with wide& the certainty of an
oneratieu will be accepted by any patient, capable
of booming an operation at all, if ills properly corn:
munmated to him, will hesitate to believe that it
was more fear which produced, as was averred, tho
fatal result in this Inatome. It was rather the un
certainty, the strained expeetation as to what was
to be decided upon.
"I need hardly say that the other common cause,
namely, for a doctor or friend to leave the patient
and oomptanioate his opinion on the result of his
visit to the friends just outside the patient's door,
or in the adjoining room, after the visit, but within
bearing or knowledge of the patient, to, tf possible,
worst of all.
It is, I think, alarming, peoullarly at this time,
when the female ink-bottles aro perpetually im
pressing upon us woman's" particular worth
and general tnlssionariness,' to see that the dress
of women is daily more and more notating them
far any ' mission ' or usefulness at all. It is
equally unfittedfor all poetic end all domestio pur
poses. A man is now a more handy and far less
objectionable being in a sick room than a woman.
Compelled by her dress, every woman now either
shuttles or waddles ; only a man San cross tho floor
of a sick-room without shaking it. What is be
come of woman's light step—the firm, light, quick
step we bare been asking for?"
It Is probable that we may return to this
book of Florence Nightingale's. In this work
she renders as much service to suffering hu
manity as she did in the hospitals in Scutari.
It ought to bo In every house, as a family
hand-book. Published In London at half a
dollar, it might be advantageously republished
here for twenty-live cents, and we should be
surprised if at least half a million copies wore
not sold in six months. Of course, every wo.
man of education, at the head of a household,
would buy ono copy, out of respect to Flo
rence Nightingale, and then, having read it,
purchase another to give away Just as we be

"There are two things which the public, are
vainly looking for in the Herald. One is a notice
of the resolution lately adopted by the Radical
Abolitionists of this State, thanking James Gor
don Bennett for affording a sate and reliable
means of sending the most ultra Abolition docu
ments all over the South. The other Is a reply
to Pryor's scathing fusilade on Bennett In the
great Congressional debating club. Bennett's
policy has always been to take the bull by the
horns,' and show his atter contempt for personal
attacks, by publishing them in full to the world.
The very boldness of the net seemed to pull the
sting out of the assailant. But whore is the
Herald's sublime confidence now? Not a line
about the Radical Abolitionists, nor a word of
Fryer's withering sentences. The fart is, Bennett
is getting old and sensitive. The human cuticle
does not toughen with age like that of the rhino
soros. For the first time in his life, this strange,
friendless, but remarkably able and energetic
man, known what it is to feel the lash which he
has long laid, with savage pleasure, upon the
backs of all who did not suit his whims and
caprices. Even his audacity bee at last met more
than Its match, and the practieed impudence of
the Herald falters before the glorification of the
Abolitionista, and the indignant scorn of the young
Virginian."

rar Hon. W. C. RllllB, of Virginia, has renpti*
written a long letter in regard to the dkiilott
projects now being agitated in the Borah. It con
cludes as follows :
" Virginia Intuit turn her attention more and
more to the diversification of her Industry by the
establishment of manufactures, both to relieve the
surcharge of her agriculture and to give it, in lien
of the glutted markets of the world, the stimulus
of local markets at home, which will diffuse around
their respective centres a smiling scene of reno
vated life and verdure. slow would the system of
absolute free trade, patronised by the cotton State*,
accord with this condition of things In Virginia?
With one of' her staples—tobacco—more heavily
burdened with taxation by foreign governments
than any known production of the earth, and
which, from the necessities of their systems Of
revenue, will continue to be so burdened, and
with rigor, manufacturing establishments of her
own, could there be an sot of snore suicidal rash
ness than for Virginia to place herself in a situa
tion in which 'King Cotton,' by andieptided T.rii

Confederacy, would be enabled to throw her ports
wide open to the free and indiscriminate admii
sion of the manufactures and productione of foreign

remarked, that It affords remedies, within the

VIRGINIA ON TUG CRI3l5.—Tho Richmond WAT
of a late date earl :—‘, At present, it may be said,
that three competing plane are be'ore the Legisla
ture, viz: that of Governor Letcher for a Conven
tion of Delegates from all the States, to consider
whether existing difficulties can be femodied and
guarded against in future; or, that being impossi
ble, whether terms of peaceful separation can be
devised. Second, that of the South Carolina Com
missioner, for a Convention of Delegates from the
Southern States, to consider substantially the
same things. Third, that of the joint committee
of the Legielliture, for more stringent and effective
measures of our own, for the prevention of wrongs
and insults in the future."
The Inid says :
" We have nothing to hope for, at this time, from
either Convention, but increased excitement and
a wider national breach. We have no confidence
In new guarantees and constitutional amendments.
If we cannot administer the present Government
and enjoy our rights under the existing Coteititn
lion, any other would fail us. We are not wiser
than the sages of the Revolution; they considered
maturely and prophetically the inherent difficul
ties of binding together under one system of go
rernment, so broad a land, so diverse a people, and
such multiform interests. They devised a plan, the
best, as we are solemnly convinced, that human
wisdom could invent, to reconcile, secure, and con
solidate the whole under a Constitution and within
a Union whiob they designed to be perpetual.
"Another objection that we have to the place of
both Governor Lecher and Colonel Memminger Is,
that we utterly deny the authority of the Legisla
ture of Virginia to take any step that contempletes,
even as contingency, the destruction of the Union.
The Governor In his message, distinctly avows, as
the alternative object of the Conventional° recom
mends, the separation of the States. Colonel Mem
minor, with equal frankness, told the Legislature,
in his address, that the State Inviting a Southern
Convention believed secession to be the only reme
dy. Both these Conventions, than, if held, are
expected to deliberate upon and possibly adopt, as
the true policy of the Southern States, the disrup
tion of the 'Federal Union. We demand to know
what authority the members of the Legislature and
the Governor of Virginia have to call any inch
Convention, or to appoint delegates to it.
" Who does not know that to unmake as well as
to make a Government to an act of sovereignty,
that none dare attempt to exercise except the peo
ple in their untransferred, unassumed, original,
and inherent right and m ight? Legislators, and
Governors are only parts of the machinery cif go.
vernment—let them not Imagine they ate the Go
vernment itself. They are temporary, special, and
restricted agents—let them not magnify themselves
into principals. They are the servants of the peo
ple—let them not exalt themselves Into masters.
" Holding these views, denying the =mashy for
of a Convention, whether of all or
States and protesting against the
a authority fic o nt f hl the Legislature to act for the people
of Virginia, in calling a Convention, or in saying
who shell represent them in it, we cordially ay
prove the spirit and purpose of the resolutions
offered by Mr. Barbour, and commend the calmness
and sagacity that have enabled him, amid the be
wildering excitement of the day, to follow the
path of wisdom and safety. The true dignity of
the Commonwealth demands that she should
avenge her own wrongs and defend her orris rights,
through her own constituted authorities."

bride, while he went up the street to attend to
some business affairs. Business despatched, the
bridegroom prppared to return to the arms of his
lovely bride, when, on comparing watches with a
friend, be diseove.ed, to his great dismay, that his
timekeeper had played him false, and was half an
hoer behind time! He darted oft through the
streets like a rocket, his coat tails streaming in the
wind, and made remerksibly quick time to the
steamboat wharf, but, alas! only in season to ass
the boat moving off, and an impassable gulf be

alumnae of all Jostle* in the measure, a total drisne

of the question say reference to the Interests of
the victims of this proposed fraud and wrong.
There are 90,000 free negroes In the State- They
are all engaged In doing tie white Ean's work,
and their wave are governed by the law of Qom
petition. As a class. they ars law-abiding pesos
ful, industrious, docile, sod sating. In this clay
there are at least some 30,000 of them, ant the
savings banks Chow thousands of dollars to their
credit, Many of them are wealthy, and large nuni
hers own the houses they live In.
What would be the condition of Maryland If
these 90,000 laberers were driven out of it? For
no man in his senses supposes they will submit to
go into alarm" as the alternative. Already the
agitation of this question is exerting a baleful in

city of Baltimore. Preparations are behog made

Ilmos. AND DLION P S Lllll.—On the 4th of
August, 1763, Thomas and Richard Penn, and
Lord Baltimore, being together hat London,. agreed
with Chinos hlison and Jeremiah Dixon. two ma
thematiolans or surveyors, to mark, run out, settle
and tt the boundary line between Maryland on
the one hand. and Delaware and Permaylvania on
the other. Mason and Dixon landed in Philadel
phia on the 15thof November following, and began
ado ted the peninsular
the northeastern Oo . t . :l autumnal:Fr _
to run the dividing parallel of latittidey
pursued this parallel a distance of 23 mile& 18
chains, and 21 links, from the place of beginning,
at the N. E. corner of Maryland, to the bottom
of a valley on Dunkard ereek, where an Indian
war-path crossed their routs, and here on the 19th
of November, 1767—ninetytwo years age—their
Indian escort told them it was the will of the Sioux
nation that the surveys should cease, and they ter
minated accordingly, leaving 3d miles, 6 chains,
and 50 links as the asset distance remaining to be
run we* to the southwest angle of Pennsylvania,

England, 1777 ; Mason died in Pennsylvania,
1187.
CONTINTION or SLATKIIOLD.SOTi2IIIS.—The
invitation and accompanying resolutions origi
nating in the Legislature of South Carolina, for a
Convention of Southern States, have met with a
warm response in Mississippi. The Senate of
that State, on the 25th of January, passed a series
of resolutions, from which we extract the follow
ing :
"That the election of a Prisident of the United
States, by the votes of one section of the Union
! only, on the ground that there exists an irrecon
cilable conflict between the two seating in refer
ence to their respective systems of labor, and with
an avowed purpose of hostility to the institution
of slavery as it prevails in the Southern States,
and as recognised by the compact of Union, would
so threaten a destruction of the ends for which the
Constitution was formed, as to Justify the slave
! holding States In taking counsel together for their
separate protection and safety.
! ' That. in order to be prepared for such a oontin
geney. Mississippi accepts the invitation of South
Carolina to her sister tlayeholding States to meet
in Convention."
The fourth reeolntlen provides that a °email
sioner be appointed to proceed to Virginia, on a
visit of condolence to the people of that Common
wealth, expressing indignation at the "Brown"
invasion, and admiration for the bravery that re
pelled it.

of fifty Gleamed, in the State of Wiseonein, there
is not a single individual from the Baderland con

iv. We give the "Taney" intelligence of Hee
nan from The London Daily Telegraph of Jan.
17. The "Boy" reached London at night (9
o'elook), on the 16th, "standing," ae ear eoteet•
porary we:
" Biz feet one inch and a half in his stockings,
wearing a black sonstadie, and looking altogether
rather like a distinguished foreigner than a mem
ber of the prise ring. He was accompanied by a
friend of the name of Cuank, and was weleomed
at theport by Macdonald . Being of a generally
playful nature, the Bey' slipped on shore with the
mails, and was bent on having a little game for his
own personal amusement, when he was overtaken
by his friends, who are particularly anxious for his
safety, and who assiduously kept company with
him during the few hours of his eojourn at the
port. A large concourse of ' roughs' surrounded
Heenan at the Lime•street station, and succeeded
in getting on to the platform, whence they cheered
violently as the train departed. At Crewe, Staf
ford, and Rugby, a good deal of Curiosity was
manifested to obtain a sight of the 'Boy,' who was
evidently averse to being perpetually stared at,
and, therefore, kept himself snugly ensconced in
the corner of a drat-clasa carriage.
" On arriving In town, Heenan'a friends got him
speedily into a nab, their destination being, ac
cording to reports, the Tavietock Hotel, Covent
Garden. On the voyage over in the Asia, a train
ing-ground was rigged up for the young aspirant In
the forecastle, and throughout the trip he kept his
muscles in condition by continually hauling at
heavy weights attached to pulley,. He is described
as good tempered, and tolerably well informed, and
has learnt a hide of Spanish during a tour in Cali
fornia. If he beats Torn Sayers he has only one
more professional object in life, and that is to van
quish Morrissey, who is coming over with a horde
of Yankees the next time th e Asia returns to Eng
land, and who avows hie intention of fighting Hee
nan should he gain peuession of the belt- Those
who are acquainted with the ' Boy,' say that his
agiit ty . is something extraordinary ' and Aaron Jena'
(who la now keeping a flourithingbar, gymnasium,
and billiard-room inPhiladelphie)deelares that the
punishment he gave Morrissey, during the first
three rounds of their contest, wail something fright
ful. The youth looks remarkably powerful about
the shoulders, but seems scarcely as firm and well
developed as might be expected below the waist;
be has a prominent, well-shaped nose, which may
be considered an advantage in a non-professional
sense, but is likely to be deemed a superfluous or
nament 'Mould it come into unpleasant contiguity
with what would be technically, described as Mr.
Sayers' bunches of fires."'
STARTLING OCCIIRRINCR—SNISZ IN A LADY'S
DRES3.—Ttie London Court Journal says:
"A lady who had returned from India three
years ago, was the other day opening a drawer in
what is termed a bullock trunk. To her amass
ment and horror a sucks reared up his head ; her
first impulse was to push the drawer to, but it was
stiff and heavy. She ran, screaming, down stairs
for help. Her brother, who was in the drawing
room, went to her assistance, and preceded her
again up stairs. The snake was not to be seen, and
the gentleman thought it must have been h is sia
ter s imagination; so, after some little time, the
search was given up. The following morning, a
canary that always hung in the lady room was
missing: and in looking into the cage, the snake
lay curled up at the bottom of it, and all that re
mained of the bird by his side. There was no dif
ficulty in destroying the snake, and it was disco
vered to be what is termed a green snake, whose
nature it is to make a spring at the eye, when
death immediately ensues. The marvel is how the
reptile lived eo long and the lady atesped."
