Looking in the dictionary, I find there wp- J miin, a noun, barbarously derived, obscurely defined, and bolstered op by a number of poet ical quotations* of which lovely woman beads the list. The dictionary is evidently puzzled ; and well it be; wiser ones than the dic tionary have muddled their brains on the sub ject. ‘ Men don’t dare come oat boldly and say, “Woman an improper noun, meaning the root of all mischief,” because they are sure to have a slip of ib at home. Even 1, old bachelor as 1 am, am outwardly excessively civil to the pref ty little serpents, remembering that my landla dy, my laundress, and tny mother all belong to the objectionable class, but I make 0 private note ttf my opinions, and intend to run it over every morning before going down to breakfast, feeling that I am at present in a situation where, as human and especially bachelor nature is weak, I might be tempted to fall away from my principles. How on earth it ever happened that I accept ed Fred Sinclair’s invitation, 1 don’t know. He is a married mao. and has one of the pret tiest places on' the Hudson. I might have known that the house would he full of visitors in June and July ; but at least I could hardly be expected to guess that the majority of visitors would be women—not matrons, with pinched noses and careful mouths ; not cozy old grandmothers, or even old maids, but young women, yonng and shamelessly pretty ; fire of them, as ]’m a bachelor, and hope to re main so, and only two of my own persuasion to keep me in countenance, George and Hal Guhijer. They say they like it; I wish I did. Now, I am going to make a confession. I dislike these lovely torments on principle and | io the lump; individually, I lan’t help admi ring them, for my life. We have here, Lou and Tivia Boraeole, Belle Bayadere, Del Or gandie, and Lute Pina. I am continually watching them, and I believe the torments know it, and put nut a little arched foot, or let a sleeve fall back from a rounded arm pur posely to' aggravate me. They will group themselves together in the prettiest manner; they will put their blonde and brunette heads together, and confonnd roe with the glories of night and morningiside by side. Some one is perpetually hlushibg or pouting, or letting lohg eyelashes full over eyes black, blue, or gray ; or showing me a little round chin, or a pink ‘tipped ear, keeping me thereby in a constant flutter and tremor ,of admiration. I think I might write a treatise on the circulation of the blood, if watching its pulse, and surge, and re cede, flushing from the pale pink of a shell to the- bloom of a peach, in fair young cheeks, could qualify me; or on mantua-making, such an expert am I becoming in their muslin mys teries ; their little, collars, their filmy hanker chiefs, their bows and sashes, their belts and clasps, their thousand and one roao-trnps that they have the effrontry to spring on uS under our vary noses. Fancy a man possessed of a muslin devil; haunted by ankles and Balmoral boots, cunning little trimmed pockets and Zou ave shirts I What miserable frivolity end waste of time. Bat the lust,, the worst, the. most unendurable df all these irritants,'is Del Organdie. - * Her characteristics I admire-in the abstract, but consider them ns, combined in her, repre hensible and pernicious in the highest degree. She has brown hair of the sort that flames out here and there with a deep golden tinge, fine, and softand long; beautiful hair in itself, bat what right has she to encroach on my time ■with it? It has a basilisk fascination for me. I watch, perforce, where it comes .in little ripples on the white shore of her forehead, 1 wonder within myself at the brow, and the possibility of the smooth kills brushed away •‘a laTimperafriaf’ then she will never settle on any particular mode of arranging what wo men call in their detestable jargSn, their “back hair. One day it is twined around' in soft coils ; the next, in wide shining braids and once it tumbled down; {designedly I know) all abbot her-shoulders and down to' her elettder Waist.—Never tell me that it was an accident; the knew that those golden brown waves would not let me sleep that night; and she put iiwher comb loosely, io malice, prepense.

I have a.bad habit of calling her Del to myself, which ;mgst be corrected—Del has another, abjectionahle feature: her eyes. They are,gray,/pf thegqrt that darken '< almost, into black or melt into blue. Thera is often a look in them of a.oleap shining,' tuch as yon see in thewestfiyh sky after a gentle rain ; she has ato the r look that I have seen in a child’s eyes, just waked fr(|m a sweet sleep, before the first smite cyvces'jts scarlet; the sweet and solemn in of Jin innocent soul that has Just passed tnrougß'the gates of a world, barred against our heavier tread. ' i: She has a third ; a wicked sparkle,' and mer ry mhlice that Hike best. Then! can defy her, and toll her all the spiteful things I think about her. . Dark lashes shade these reprehensible eypi 1 j long and sweeping out on the white cheek' in;a way that doubtless she thinks pretty ;/blMk brows arch above them, making her ufidti fore head all tbe whiter; .no doubt She considers herself a belle. ' . ' t She has 'small hands white with taperfin'gen; the nails round and rosy like lhtle'bits : hf pink shell. I wish she would wear' gloves, or keep them out of sight, for so am I annoyed by them that I feel a constant temptation to cover them with my own. Bachelor trips ofr tfie most dangerous kind are they ; they are sure to be busy with a crochet-needle,,-,or brought out in relief on the dark cover of abook, or folded like nestling doves in her lap ;‘ a nuis ance and a snare I consider them.. She has a little foot besides, arched and high, and she wears delicate little boots, and heeled-slippers, half buried in rosette. Worse than all, she lifts her dress when walking in the garden., or promenades tbe piazza in a gale, .or clambers up and down places in tended-only-for gpaM, and shows them. ' : , There she is now. I can see her {com my window, going up and down the piauia under that jaunty little bat with its i long feather, humming to herself, and choking her. boot heels to mark the time. Restless’thing;;- she is like a .bird or bee on the wing; she has.gods into the garden. Why, on earth,- can't .she walk? She goes with a run and whirf'of’. her sweeping dress treading lightly, »s if she weht on springs. She has picked a rose, two tjf them: wasteful creature 1 See, she.

This room is intolerable. Really, this is a most unclmritable, vyorld. Vivia Baracole ant) Lute Pina. But stop ; let me think how it all was. I went to smoke in t(ie grounds, of course, I don’t consider it polite to smoke in the rooms, - or in the piazza, where there are ladies, Think ing and smoking, I strolled along; ; not noti cing the path I took I found myself on . the shore. She sit there—l couldn’t do less than speak, after nearly stepping on her. She made room for me on the bench—seemed to expect me to take a seat beside her ; but she was’in no hurry to talk. She was looking out; ovier the water, with the solemn child-look thatdj bare mentioned.! I could smoke my cigar apd watch the flickering of her lashes, the ebb of faint color in her cheek, the rise and fall of the laee on her white neck, the unconscious movements of her little grasping fingers, holii ing idly two or three roses. . When she did speak, she proposed a walk to some miserable waterfall, that can’t flow along like a decent, well-conducted brook, but conies plunging down a hill, tearing out a bed for itself, and leaving just the narrowest ledge for a path. I couldn't in Common politeness refuse to go, and of course I offered to help her up the ledge. Her hand rested in mine; and snob a little, warm, white, and rosy clinging.thing it was.— When we reached the top she was out of breath, and we eat down j the pines that shade it made of itlu cool, temple-like place; the water did look pretty, foaming over the tucks; hot - still that don’t quite account for the way in which I enjoyed it. , I like Nature well enpugb, but 1 am not fanatical about her ; we sat oo a little very damp earth, and a ‘great deal pf. stops; there-was a toad—-to which I have an aversion —hopping about ina way-suggestive of land ing in my lap; I took two worms off mj arrp, and a spider from Miss Organdie’s shoulder; as for the conversation, here it is; “Ab!l am so tired.” \\ "Yes. The walk is steep.” 1 “ I believe I have cut my slipper”'—half showing tbe nonsensical little thing that she cells by that name. ” You should bave worn your Bnlmorpl boota.

Another conversational ripple. “ How peaceful it is 1” “ Yes.” . That was all; but the ten minutes spent there were the moat delicious of .ray life. Then we went home.

'Upon which, I' respectfully ask your opinion.” Again in -the Evening Post of Oct. 14,' I find another eorrespoirderit (D.

He says be thinks Pringle used this as a ruytne, in bis “ South "African Sketches.’’ As to Byron’s assertion of the impossibility of rhyming silver (which is referred to in your paragraph,) permit me just to remark, that, so long as man can readily make silver jingle ip, their hands nnd pockets, they probably wont be very anxious ahout ; ¥hy ming it on paper.— Of course, the rhyrasters -must .give up month, unless IV.

If such s ’catastrophe as is burs—the direst that can -befall the mass of humanity, and which is felt the world, around—means nothing, surely He takes little heed of the affairs of meu. Can you, think that marks the sparrow’s fall,” will ever permit men—living pien—with love of liberty on one aide, and love of slavery on the other—every one of whom is loved by entile heart, to meet, fight, bleed, fall and die by thousands— tens, hundreds of thousands— , without,meaning something by it ? | Politics, indeed ! What did it mean in the revolution —what does it mean now ? Run the Word’out; does it not-mean government, laws, 'equity, jUstide,'rectitude, home, affection ? And ■if God is nut in these; where in all the world is .He ? “He that is not for Me, is against-Me,” so if,,there is-a great moral question involved in this struggle, either one side or the other must bo right—-and if wo are-right,,why not fight to uphold our Government and ail its blessed in stitutions? And if they are 1 right; surely the oddS are against them—they need help.

Fairfax Seminary, Va., Oct. 6/1852., * * * —You must not expect a wall con nected letter from me this time, as I can only write by little fragments of time, and I con warrant you a very disjointed mass of stuff, by this mail, for my thoughts are as unsteady as the gusty winds without, and my pan—l inuw by the very looks of it —is meditating soiia wild freak this morning. Therefore, let gusty, r.sur ty, dusty, rusty, be the churscicri-.i.c* t; for. I think I shall have to tcii y u--tsk.ng it for granted that ypu want to in.. l .'—all about, ■how, where, and with whom 1 am, Jbc., &o. First then, although’on iinanJ. lam on the list of those.quoted convalescent. Too fearer has spent its force.'and succunud to good treat ment, and a constiSition hard to k.U ; and the pulss that under the heat of its lire, galloper swiftly along at the rate of one hundred eric hatter to the minute, now throbs quietly am at the more regular and healthful tate oi sixty or seventy. Secondly ; according to the heads, my where abouts, as you see by the date, is Fairfax Semi nary, Va.; hut as this is rather a vague an! general explanation, I shall have to make it a little more local and particular. It situated ,n a beautiful hill, in the northeastern part of ti;. commonwealth — not a bit noneommon— of in - state of Virginia, on the west bank of the p. tomac Hirer—as it runs here—a little wet bars of the city of Alexandria; commanding a bo view of that place, the Potomac, and the city of Washington, The Seminary lies west of these places, so that in the afternoon, when the sun has moved around and throws light on every thing east ward, and.casts a shadow on your eyes while looking that way, the view of these places and surrounding objects, is very fine; although they are some distance away. Alexandria and' that portion of the River which is yisiblp near it, are three miles distant. The distance to'Washington, in a direct, or iir* line, which would throw Alexandria several miles to the right, is six or seven miles. Not much of the city can be very plainly seen »t this distance, but tbe,great white, luminous mass of the Capitol building, surrounded by it* symetricai, cowering dome, can be easily and plainly span and it is a grand eight too, I can assure you. This immense pile of pure, white marble, softened in the hazy distance, by the mellow rays of the setting sun, reflecting the pale light shed upon it by the Potomac’s mild amd placid waters, forms a picture, lovely to contemplate, and beautiful beyond tbe power of my pen to describe, so I will not hazard the at tempt. Let us step a little way down the River. Bo you sea that mass of dingy looking, squabby brick, and butternut coloped buildings ? That is Alexandria.' Well, it is a fair-sounding name, and being so like in sound, serves to per petuate that of a great conquerer, if nothings better. But these pretentious Virginians, would dignify it with tbe name of City; if so, like every other institution at presen t Southern, it must bo-nn tbe decline. As to size, its claim might be reckoned good ly fur the title of village; but don’t epeak of energy in tbe same connection ; it is a common lifetime- behind the spirit of energy, to say nothing of- the activity of the same. As may be said of any other city or village which I have seen in Virginia, it is sleepy, stagnant, inert, lifeless. . There seems to be some dreadful incubus that poisons the purity of the very air we breathe here. And there is. It can be seen, it 6an be felt. It is s, gloom on the day ; it renders more sombre tbe night. mourns in tbe valley ; its lament may be heard on tbe hill-top. IVhasisit? It is the emse which darkens this fair land. But enough. Mightv agencies are working its inevitable overthrow-, its final doom'. ■ As I wheel out the Invalid’s ear ths cool freshness of these autumn nitcrnoom-, and view, from some shaded nook, the distant Capitol in its seemingly quiet repose, trooping thoughts come crowding on the mi;;,: They -slip-shod, like indistinct dreams oror the sad past, the trembling present. an.l the uncertain future.
