Mrs. Swisshelm, in a late number of the Saturday Visiter. has the following letter to country girls. She talks "right out" to theim. You know I said that I could quilt almost as fast-as two of you. The rea son is, I take care of my hands. One half of you are too proud to do thii. You would not be caught putting a glove on to sweep or hoe, or weed in the gar den, because you think it would look as if yuu wanted to be fine ladies. If you see any one-aking cae of her hands, or careful to wear a sun-bonnet- to pre serve her complexion, you say she is "proud and stuck up." But it is you who are proud-too proud to think you require any care to look nice. You have an idea you !gok well enough at any rate. So you just make yourself as rough and coarse as ever you can, by way of being independent. Your hands grot as stiff and hard as if you hr.ld a plow and swung a scythe, and when yiou take a needle you can scarcely feel it in your fingers. This is wrong. Thre are many things which women ought to do. which require their hands to be soft and pliable, and they should be careful to keep them so, in order to make them useful. Every woman w hro lives in the country should knit herself a pair of woolen gloves, with long fingers closed at the tops-no mits, to let the fingers get hard. There should be a piece of ribbed work at the wrist to make them stay on. W hen you use your hoe, rake, or broom put on your gloves-when you take hold ofa skillet, not or kettle han die, take a cloth to keep your hands from being scared and hardened. When you wash clothes or dishes, do not have water so hot as to feel unpleasant. Many girls scald their hands until they can put them into water almost boiling.-Such hands are unfit to use a needle or a pin. They are not so good to hold a baby or a wound. Take care of your hands, and do not forget your faces. I have seen so many country. girls who, at six teen, had bmplexio's like alabaster, and at twenty-six. their faces would look like a runnet bag that had hung six weeks in the chimney corner.-Or.e reason of this is they don't wear a bonnet to pro tect them fro.n the sun. Another rea son is, the habit 'they have o' baking their faces before a wood fire. I have seen women stand before a gieat toasting fire and cook, until 1 thought their brains were as well stewed as the chickens; and they would get so used to it they would make no attempr to shield their heads frnom the heat. Nay, they would sit down in the evening and bake their faces by the hour; an:d this is one of the reasons why American women grow old, withered and. wrinkled, fifteen years before their time. But another, and the greatest reason is your diet. Peopl5, in this country live too well, and eat too much hot bread and meat. Country people usu ally eat richer food than those who live in the cities, and that is a reason why, with all their fresh air, their average is little greater than that of city folks. Thousands of beautiful blooming coun try gidls make old, sallow-faced women of themselves before they are thirty, by drinking coffee, smoking tobacco, and eating hot bread. They shorten thteir lives by theise practices about as much as city ladies with their fashionable fol lies. I do not know wvhat you think about it,trhs, but I thiinle it is about as much a sin for a woman to get old, brown, and withered races, by eating too much, as it is fur men to ge~t red no ses by drinking too much. Very few people think it a disgrace to have a bil lious fever; but I would just as lieve the doctor would tell me that I was drunk as that I was billious. The one would come from drinking too much, lthe other from eating too much; and where is the differencei All this is a very serious matter, for it effects hreralth and life; and the reason why I talk about your com plexion in speaking of it, is, that eivery body lovcs to LOOK well whether-they will acknowledge it or not. Now peo ple cannot look wELLI unless they are well, and no one can be well very'long who does not try to take care of herself. The wvoman wiho roasts her head at the fire, disorders her blood- brings on head aches, injures her health, and markes her face look like a piere of leather; when she swallowvs hot, coffee., hot bread, greasy victuals and strong gickles, she destroys her stomach, rots her teeth, shorters her life, and makes herself too ugly for any use, except scaring the cr ows off the corn.

PRIVATE PUDDINGi OR IOW THE HoOSIER COME IT. Many yea-s ago a.Hoosier, who had just struck New Orleans for the flits time, alter- his fla tboat was ma'de snug and fast; went up to see the sights of thef city. Passing St. Charles lie stopped immediately in front of the St. Chni les Hotel, and hooking up, seemrd to scru tinize the building with the eye of an-ar chitectural connoiseur. After satisfying his gaze he asked of a p-sser.by what building it was; on he ing told it was a hotel, he inquired for the entrance, and being shown, he as cended the ster-p steps. Approaching the ofice, he ingnired for the landlord, of whom he inquired if he could get " a bite " to eat. Mr. E. R. Mudge, who was the host at that time, and who is a host at all times, humoring the ftllow, told him lie could do so by paying a dol, lhr, A fter considering for some time on this itsm, and gravelv looking his host in the face, lie snid "1 Well, I'll go it, thur's my dollar, whai's your dinier ?" "' Well," said tihe otlter, wioh a smih-, " It is not ready yet, but take a sent at the table there, and you can amuse your, self with' the paperrs for half an hour, when you will hear the gong, which will inform you that dinner is ready,." "1 The gong, what's that ?" asked the Hoosier. " Oh you will find out when you hear it," replied Mudge. Satisfied with this answer, the Hoosier, after look ing wildly around him, sat down and rummaged over the papers. Time sped on at its customary rate, when suddenly the gong sounded, and as usual the crowd moved for the dining room. Recovering from his astonishnient at the noise of the gone, and scentina the delicious fumes of the dinner,. the 110. siet made a rush through the crowd for a seat, but being met by the host he was conducted to his alhottted chair. The gentlemen seated on cach side of him, as will as the gentlemien opposite hemi, had their wine before them. After finishing his soul), and having" his plate well filled, the H oosier observed the gentlemen helping themtelves freely to wine, and so, seizing the bottle of his right-hand neighbor, he attempted to help himself, wheni he was modestly ii formed that the wine was " privat." The Hoosier did nnt seem to compre. hind, and with a blank sort of louk, re sumcl his knife and fork. On laying I theni down again, and having apparently come to the conclusion that it could not all be "1 private " wine, lie seized hold of his left-hand friend's hotle. "1 Stop, if you please, sir," said the off;ndid in dividual with a fierce look, " that is pri, vote wine, sir." The Hoosier looked siill more astonished, and findling it a hard case, thought lie woul make an. other trial any how. So reacihing across the table, he seized the bottle opposite to him, and was just in the act of filling his gliss, when his vis-a-vis re-echotid " private winie, sir, if you pheas:-," and withdrew the bottle from the fearful leakage it was abon' to undergo. The "green 'un," becommg enraged at being loiled on every side, and ob serving that there was a general simper ing and tattering among the waiters, turned on the servant whot stood at the back of his chair, and whto had taketn away hiis plate for the fifith or sixth time, and ciried out to him with an o:,th to bring hack his plate, and t'at if he tooik it a w:;y dgain, "he'd be dod rodil if he did'nt drawv his picker on him," and, stiting the action to the word, bnt his hand into his bosom, showing the handle of a hiuge bowie-knife. After this things wvent on qnietly, till the desert was put otn the table, when, a large (?1harlott~e Russe pudding was set right before the Hoosier. This he im mediately dte~w near his pla te, a nd look ing right and left at his neighblors, lie helped himself to a latrge portion of it. Keeping his eyes fixed on the dish, while eating lhe perceived hiisiight-hand neighbor attempting to wvithdrawv the dish from' him. ''No you dotn't Mister,'' said the Hoosier to him, "th'at f/har pod dini' is private pudding." T he le ft-hand gentleman, net observing wvhat had pass ed, then said, "Allowv tie to take this pudding, sir ?" "No, y ou can't take thait' t/har puedlin',". A nd lie relbel ped himself. Shortly after the gentleman opposite was in the act of drainitg the dish over to himn. "Hold on, M~ister," said the Hloosiet, with a look of triumph, "P'd have you to know that pueddin' is privale puddin,' while at the same time he put his thumb to his nose arid made sundry gyrations wvith his fingers. "You can't conic it over me," he continued, feeling that a joke had been practiced upon him. "Private wine, elh !' The attention of ,the table being at tracted during the latter scente, te gen tlenien around burst into a roar of laugh ter, and soon the wvhole story was whiis pered from one to another. The thing took so well thntevczy, gnnlt'aman was in-ced. torsend his bottle to tihe Hooster witll his hnpliments, and our "green 'n," sdoAi became as merry as a lord. HIiccouglfutg, as he left the table, ho turnei round to the gentlemen and said ; "Well, old (hiccough) filows, you (hiedough) could'i (hliccoulgh)- come it ovier (4icfcough) me with your (rfic co-igh) ,rOivate Wine." The gi1ss 's fairly da ied upon tle table with the uproar a-nt laughter which this last remaritcrdated, and the Hoosier, stag geringn ' of t he room, made the best of his way his boat.-N. 0. Picayune. CnA l -Night kissed the, young rose, andait bet softly to sleep. Stamrs shone, and puie dew-drops hung upon its bluohiug bosom, and watched its sweet s3lambers. Morning came with her, dancing breezes, and they whisper ed to the young rose, and it awoke joy ous and smilling. Lightly it danced to Ind fro iiall the lovelinss of healh and vouthful -ionnbcence. Then came the ardent sun-god, sweeping from tlhe east, and he smote the youne rose with his scorrhing rays, and it fainted. Defest ed an!] alriost heart-broken, it dropped to the dust in loneliness and despair. Now, ihu'erntle breeze, which had been gamboling over the sea, pushing on the homebdund- bark, sweeping over hill and dald-hy the neat cottage and still brook-tutrnitng the old mill, falnning the fevered brow of discae, and frisking ihe coils of innocent childhood-came irip ping along on her ei rands ol mercy and love ; anl when she saw tlo young rose, she hastened to kiss it; and londly bathed its forehead in cool, refreshing showers, and ih,.young roserevived, and looked u) and stniled in gj atitude to the kind breeze; 'bit slte horried qutickly awa.y; her generous task was pei fornel, yet not without reward; for she soon per ceived liat a delicious fragrance had beep poired on her wings by the grate ful rose;:and the kind breize was glad in learitand went away singing through the trees. Tos true Charity, like t lie breeze ,*; .thers fragrance from the droopid-ar it refreshes, and uncon scioisly reaps a reward in the perflor mance 'of its offices of kindness, whOIich steals on the heari like a rich perfume, to bless and to cheer. BnvEvo.rc IN RECElvtNG.-Thte only certain source of happiness is be nevolent action. Hence we mire sttre Iy promote our own happiness by con ferring favors on others, than ly receiv ing them ourselves. lice "it is more blessed to give than to receive." On the same princllle, however, we may often more surely promote the hap piness of another bIy cheerfully accepting an offered favor, than by conferring one, fur by cheerfully accepting we allow hiim the pleasure and blessedness of, giving. Here then, though to tts it may ho less blessed, it is sometimes mote benevolent in us to receive tianjin give. It is hence quite impot tant that we shnuld not only study to confer favors oppor tun-ly but that wie should also study to receive them properly. Many a kind spirit has been wountdeud, by an unhink, ing or rude rejection of its proposed good offices. T HtE STUDY OF NA.TURnE.-The sneers of supmt icial muen upon the wveatkness which lhts apipeared in the conduct of some inquirers into nature, (ought to have nio influenice to discourage us from those resear ches. lf somte few have spent too much time in the sttudy of insects, to the neglect of nobler parts of creation, their error ought to suggest to us, r~nt a total neglect of those infet ior parts of nature, bitt only to avoid the mistake of giving ourselves whtolly to them. There is nto speces which infinite Wisdom has thought worth making .and preserving for ae<, that is not supremely worthy of our ingsgring ito its pinture. And it is certain that there is more of curious workmatnship in thestructure of ,he, body of the meanest reptile, than in the must conmplicated and most delicaite machine that ever was or will be constructed by human hiands. A B~n SIG.--It is a bad sign to see a ma.,n wvith his hat off at midnight, e~s plaining the theory and principles of his party to a lamp post. It is at bad sign to see a finlIlow lie down in the gut ter. sup posing it to be his bed, and commnce calling a poor innocent hog all sorts of hards names, mistaking'it for his wife.

THE HUNGAlIIAN VICTORY. NEW YORK, June 8. The mails of the steamer Europa have airived, bringing also some impor 11ta1t additional items of infoiniation. the Zeitung Constitutional publishes. Kossutli's proclamation, giving an ac count of the recent defeat of the Rns siarns by him. In this engagement 36, 000 Russians surrendered to the flun garian foices. All their arms, hiammu nition, and cannon, werei alsotaken pos. session of by- the Hungarians. This confirms the previous news of the Rus sian defeat, hut no authentic details arie received. -The surrender of the city of Bologipt is contradicted, though it has been bombarded and reduced almost to ashes. The loss of life was frightful, but the gallant city still held out. The latest accounts from Europe state that the Russians forre, placed in an attitude for operations ih central Europe, amounts to 350,000 men, with 500 field pieces. The left wing of this irmy,- consisting ofr 65,600 - men, was beaten by the Hlungir.ians, as reported. 'rTe Russian fobs was .6000 men killed and 36,000 priscriers. A letter from Vienna, of the 18th, in the Breslauer Zeitung, states that the H unearians have occupied Carlovitz, the chit-f town of the Servian principality. The news of the 6ccupmionofrTemes ivar, Arad, Carlovitz and Pausthoya, by he Hungarians is confirmed. . A rumor was current at.Raab, on the 16:h init. of the Russians liaving enered Hungarv, near Dukia, and of their hav ing suffered a defeat from Dembipsky, who engaged then between ;Bartlfeld Ind Eperies. The news of th e defeat of the Rus ;ianis by Beni, is confirmed, thcugh we ie still in want of authemtic demtails of that impo tilt action. According to ihe news received from Debiceezin tf the 9th of May, the Presi I-nt of the lItgaria!n Council and the Ministrrs of Justice explained t heir views o the Upper Chaniber. They said they were Ministers o'f the Revolution, and desire to give a revolutionary direc ion to the country, and to establish a Republic based on a Democracy. Kos. sth has declared his intention to retire into private life as soon.as he has ac, complished his purpose of freeing his country. Georgr-y has addressed a lettei' to the Commander-in-Chief of the Austrians, calling ott him to treat his prisoners with hiumanity ; but lie adds, that all the Hun arians found in arms against theil countrymen will be put to death. ALLIGATOR Ftotn.-An Incilent of !he Crevass.-The quarters of Co!. Claiborne, near Sanve's crevasse, are 'om11e f..ur feet tinder water. Night be 'me last, a veteran alligator from St. Timiiany concluded to pay the colonel i visit. Taking his course quietly hrough the cornfields and pastures, lie thoutght it would be polite to call at the Nahin of the "driver," ot head man, and iiquire if the colonel was at home. Finding the door closed, he walked un. Jer the house, and bellowed hallo ! at the top of his voice. Getting no ans waer, he comminenced a tremetndous floun dlering and thumpinig, lifting tup the floor iiig, andI scattering the little "niggers" ini every direction. Thlle htubbub soon roused the sleepers. They jumped out of bed in a tetrible ste.v, raked up a light, and at the same moment were senit botuncing atmong the rafters, the visitor underneath lilting up one plank, a nd thlen anIother, flingi ng the whole crowed ofT their legs as farst as they couild straigzhten themi nut. Such a cene of confusion was never witnessed. The darkies were completely bewilder ed, andl their outciies soon drew the whiole establishmet together. The p~lanks~ were drawn up, and there was -not Old Nick--but a fellow much niglier, a tretendous alligator,- with ex patnde~d jaws, shaking his monstrous tail in defiance, and sweeping it round in rapid semi circles. Thre instant he wats discovered, twvo huge dlogs leaped upon him, -btut the cotest did not last for a miomnent. One he struck dead with his sweeping tail, the other lie eranched 1' wveen his bloody jaws. By this time .ae negroes got their dander up. They rushed upon him with axes, mauls, and bludgeons. The monster stood his groutnd, and "never said die," until one of them thrust a burning brand dlown his feted throat. Hie is ofanor mous girth, and measures over 15 feet. -N. Orleans Delta.
