Much originality cannot bo claimed foi* tho plot: hut tho charm of tho book lies in the life-like manner in which hor chai-act?r? aro .drawn. It is difficult to bring ono's Beff to believe .that thoy have no real existence; they do not ap pear like dim images in' tho picture gallery of ,;? ?rnernory, but a host of friends whom wo have ?net nnd known. If any fault o an bo dotocted in this novel, it roust bo in the introduction of minor characters that do not assist in the working of tho plot. , But we are not disposed to criticiau as ? rigidly the effort? of females as, those of the' sterner aex; the authoress noeds at first the smiles 91 of an encouraging publio to urge her to renewed efforts - and, in addition, thoy have so nrany bar . riers of projqejice to overcome.

Wo core little for any of the mathematicians, mota '.'. physicians or politicians, who, as shamelessly aB - " HELEN, qnit their sphere. Intellect in woman, so directed, we do not admiro, and of affection such women are incapable. She whoac true vocation it is to write, has some sort of inspiration which ro. hovea hor from the processes and accidents of knowledge, to display only windora in all the rango of gontloncHH and all tho forms of grace. The* equality of the sexes is one of the.absurd, ques tions which has arisen from a donial of the dis tinctions of thoir faculties and duties-of tho mas cralino energy from the feminine refinement. The rude sort of women cannot comprehend that there - 'is a distinction, not of dignity, but of kind, and so ... casting aside their own eminence,' for which they are too baso, and seeking, after ours, for which they are too weak, they aro hormaphroditieh die "T . turbera of the peace of both. In tho main, American women aro fro o from tt?ia , reproach; thoy seem to know their mission, and ail ' havo carried pn the threads ol civility through the <-??

It ia, thereto re, not our intention to rofor, except by ?Allusions tho vaguoat of tho vaguo, to tho extraor dinary stato of moral, or ratbor immoral, doprav ity that has boon i brought about in Now York through t_<y agonoy of tho indiscriminate com mingling of tho different olasaos of society in tho many boarding bouses of the eily. ?..< We will Suppose that tho roador is seated by ?rur side at tho dining-table of a first-olaBs respecta ble boarding houBO, No. -, West Fourteenth 6 tro el. Immediately oppoBito to tis is seated a young and beautiful lady, whom wo regard with omotions of admiration, mingled with sympa thy-admiration 'tor her graoo and bowitohing beauty-sympathy for tb? lovely young widow . ao rocently bereft of her bosom's lord; Of this wo aio well* ausurod, inastnuoh n,H Um lady has.bor. self, on ttib vei*y moinlhg'of thi** day, informed TIB? . with crystal toara ?n"bor ue'autifiil dove-like eyes, that said bosom's lord bad a few months ago, gone to ?abat bourne from Whioh no traveller is oFer furnished with .a-r^turri, tio"sptl.'

Query.-Is- the lady's husband defunct i or. not? HUB alto ? busband at all? Did she ever bave a bosom's ip'rd?'^ ' ' ; ?....li A little farther off from our float is a young wife, who has Bden upwards of fifty (50) summers, and tvjio may oncu have possessed beauty and a set of teeth, but who certainly possesses neither at pr? sent. Tbe toothless lady is exceedingly jealous of tho glances that ber young and simploton-fao ed husband is throwing ov*er hisp?ate of aBparagus at the lovely married widow abovo referred tD. Tho stupid-faocd young husband baa already re ceived a -- sotto voce scolding on account of his having como homo on the night previous rather under the influonco of ardent spirits. At tbe7 extreme end of tho table is seated a very fat lady, and next to her a thin and rospcctable looking gentleman with a grey board. Tho gentle man witb'th'c greybeard la tho husband of tho fat lady, tf he fallar*[y, calling a waiter, asks f? a piece of roast beef,' when Ihe -noa?

' ' Such scenes as these do happen at times-did happen positively to pur own experience-in a re speotable <?) boarding house in New York ?City, not long ago. r Wo do not mean to imply that there are no really respectable private boarding houses in New York City; but we do mean to warn .our readers against going board bonting in NewiYork hlindfo'dod, taking for grantod tho respeotability of the house from that of tho location. .

WILPEE, lato Surgeon of the Fiffcyrfiftb Iiegi ment Massachusetts Volunteers (colored) j gavo ihe first of fonr lectures npon the above subject, in BoBton, Tuesday evening. The Journal, give? the following brief but interesting synopsis: ? The first of this species of spider was discov ered by the leoturer, on the north end of Folly Island, while in camp there in August, 1863, Ho wound from its body, in ono hour and a quarter one hundred and fifty yards of yellow silk.' The next year another officer wound from thirty spi ders three thousand four hundred and eighty four yards, or nearly two. milea of the silk. A singlo thread of this was strong enough to sus tain a weight of from forty-four to one hundred and seven graine. In 1865 Dr. Wilder Bbowed bia apocimen to Prof. AgaBslz and othors to whom the ape?les was new. Returning to Charleston, bo rcsumod his resoarohes,>and after a variety of ad ventures and disappointments, succeeded in get ting a number of the spiders,. In the conreo of the season these all died from laok of knowledge as to their habits, modoof liv ing,- Ao. . From the eggs doposited, hoivovor, many others wore produced.

It wiU bo romombered that General Bi-in is a Bopnblloan, and was one of the strong supportors of Mr. LINCOLN B Administration * I tell you, ray frionda, that this Mea of negro Huflrago is the one ruling idea with this party. It is tho reason Why tho Union is still disrupted.

American Travellers Abroad. A vivacious correspondent ot tbe Buffalo Cou rier writeB from tho auoiont City or Romo as fol lows. Rotae, liij saya, ia a porfecthive of tourists: Thro?-fourtbs of this travelling publie aro Americans. I am always intorested te observo how tboBO look and bebavo, and I will give yon the result of some of my observations. Io the first place, they spend twioo as much .raimoy, man for man, as the people of any other nationality; secondly, thoy bring abroad with them by far the handsomest young ladies. ''The Americans are Hot out -to-day," I hoard a gentleman say on tbo Champa Elysees; "I have not-aeon a pretty woman on the promenade." Certainly the American girls show finer types of beauty than any I have seen native to Europe. I remember a pure Saxon bead at Covent Gardenia queenly English woman or two riding on Rotten Row, and a vory few splendid br?nettes of France in the Bois di Boulogne, whose beauty might lord it over anytbiog transatlantic; but, aside from these, there la scarcely a compari son in my mind. With its ?'nil-filled purse and handaomo women, America, nu inight be sup posed, is not slow to out a Btyliah figure, socially, wherever it can, in Europe. There are many Americans in Paris who entertain dukes and mar quises at their dinner tables, sod some of whose daughters (and dowries) even princes aro not too proud to take pcesosaion. In Rome tho American circlo is confessedly at tbo hoad of everything foreign in the social way. Bo furo Lent its costly entertainments wer*? the talk'of tho city, and made the cinerary ttas ot tho ancient Romans rattle with tho trott of toativity. Wo have some Americans in Eurer? who se?*m to h&ffv come hither for no othor :>- -poso t-.i_ ,_?? to take np th-r I accustomed f < I onab.e pursuits in new fields and witB uuiq .- surroundings. "There is nothing at Romo ox- : ita society," said a dandy New Yorkor to me ti other day in nerfoofc good faith. Fortunately -.his class of intelligent travel* lora is not very largo, Its members, whon you meet them, proiesa to be exclusively bored by sight-seeing; they'Arid nothing worthy their en thusiasm except the garments of the no bility whioh may chance to .have brushed them in spme accidental mooting, and in general they wish to bo considered as a well droBSod con gregation of'1 . martyrs. Wo bav? another small and select class, of. young men princi pally, who bave been so smitten of England and everything Enguato ?that America will not know them whon they got bnck, if indeed they ga back-for I doubt whotbor a country ao com mon, ao unrefined, so lacking in everything Eng lish, or even Fronoh. ia worthy.to n.? coi vu again the-exiled OJieaterfiiids, Only a litt lo moro con te nip tibio than theo? ia tlio niore nuraonpua,varie ty of American youh,. of the .viulont-Iy.

Young Amorioans of this stripe attest ijtio, supe riority of democratic institutions ,by'devotion to the fine arts of billiards and carde, and by their easy grace.n tho ?cons um pt ion of tobacco and spirits.

They nave their bttlo oddities to be sure, but these aro only amusing at the worst. For instance, there aro nonio who "do" the sights, the ruina, tbe c.hurcbea, tho galleries; ?to., with a zeal not altogether, according to knowledge or appreciation, and who check pffthe respective objects as they progress, with droll satisfaction, ao if they kept tally of cotton bales or loads of wheat. -,?., mortality A'- ^ VegroeS. - The New York Pont, a Radical p. ?or, in spoak ing about tho mortality of tho nog. ??.a since the war, uttered a * ?; ry cold-blooded sei... tont. Says the Post: "If they, havo fair play .?ud die out naturally, no one .need trouble Iii:., it-lf about them." In othor words, we suppose the 1 _t means if tlio cholora and small-pox, drunkour ess, star vation, the halter for their crimes and ti.o h?llet for thoir riots, weed them out in. consequence of tho position in whioh their frionda have placed thom, "no ono *ooi>d bo troubled;" as io all thcao casca they woi-ld.
