The ladies uave been oouipelling the Regisirm^nerni
w prewit the public *W*tb an
enormous statistical TeVHitm of the sittrical
jtkt that has been imputed to nlmoet every
remarkable man from Cicero to Sir Walter
s<Mtf. The it^^idual in question whoever
it may bo, was* appealed to by some female
relative to attest the fact that she was but
twenty-five y?ws of age; and in cor robot**- i
lion of her statement; he observed Uiat it
must be true since she had given him the
same assurance for the last ten years. Now
no fewer than 35^000 lades have given the
Registrar-General the same * Assurance for
ten years. The number of women between
thirty arid thirty-five is far too small for the
number of women who reported themselves
to bo of tho favorite age, between twenty
?*?nd twenty-five, in 1841; and'on the other
0 * hand, the number of girls between ten nnd
fifteen in 1841 was not at nil sufficient to
aooount for tbe present number of women
professedly between twenty and twenty-five,
rhe nnmber of ladies who obstinately keep
on the safe side of fbrtv is rouwhlv estimated
V O V ~~
at the number we have stated above. The
Kegistrnp-General in scandalized at the
'foolishness' and at the confusion whicli tho
ladies so unscrupulously introduce into tho
statistics ; and gentlemen who regard the
fbtnale sex with other than statistical feelings
have through succeeding contnricswbeen perplexed
to know the practical advantage
which the ladies secure to themselves by r
saying that they are young, when they are
j'ust as far from tho cradle and are practicaly
as many years old, as if they confessed it.
Hut tho reason is evident: the woman who
is thirty-five and calls herself twenty-five
does not so much intend to cheat her own
sensation, her looking glass or even the
spectator; but, virtually, what she savs by
the statistical paradox is? "Whatever my
age may be treat me not as thirtv-fivo, but
as twenty-five." And why should sho not
be takcu at her word I?London Pujtcr.
The Lady Philanthropist,
Mrs. Amks was sitting in her front room
when sho saw approaching Mrs. Armstrong,
a very public-spirited lady, who took a wonderful
interest in all reforms and benevolent
enterprises, especially thoso undertaken for
the benefit of people at a distance.
"My dear Mrs. Ames," she commenced,
"I am the agent of a sewing circle just established,
tho object of which is to provide
suitable clothing for the children in Patagonia.
I am told that they are in tho habit
of going About in a state of nature, which
you know is dreadful to contemplate.
"Perhaps they are usod to it
"Hut there is no reason why we shouldn't
improve their condition, bo we have agreed
to hold a meeting two evenings in n week
will: tlijs object in view. Will you ioin ?"
"I'm afraid I can't. 1 should be obliged
to neglect my own children, as I presume
will be the case with some of those who attend.
Look, for example, at the boy in the
street; he has a hole in each elbow and his
clothes are covered with mud. I presume
his mother belongs to some of these benevolent
associations and hasn't time to attend to
her own children."
"Mrs. Ames," asked her visitor, rising
with1 indignatiou, "do you mean to insult
ine?"
"Insult you!" was the astonished reply.?
"Of course not* what makes you think so?"
"Oo you know who that boy is of whom
you speak ?"
"No, I don't; hut I should liko to."
"You would i Well, ma'am, your curiosity
shall be gratified. He ismv sou. George
Washiugton Jackson Armstrong. What j
have you to say to that ?"
"Say ? why nothing. Only it is unfortunate
for the poor boy that he wasu't a
l'atagouian."

among j'oung ladies and gentlemen, we copy
the following in relation to a very important
and hitherto undecided point, from tho New
York Spirit of the Tunes, the highest authority
on such subject/*, which proves, we
think, pretty conclusively, that the right side
is not the right side, after all:
"The rains are to bo held in the left hand,
and the right hand is free to render aid
should the horse bceomo fractious, or the
habit of the rider require adjusting. If the
gentleman rides on the right side, ho must 1
mm his left hand, and can do so to vfcty little
purpose. Instances have occurred whore
the lady's horse has taken flight on the in- 1
' stant, and the rider was rescued by the gentleman
being on tho left hand sido and taking
her from the frightened animal to his .
own. If the lady wishes to converse, and
her escort is at her right hand, she must
turn her head half round to make hirsvif 1
heard. Again, tho escort being at tho left
hand, her dress is protected from the vehicles
passing, and if it becomes disarranged,
is n(A exposed to public view."
The best anpedote of -Lorenzo. Low that

The Ognnm Torum Writ.
Tho New Orleans Picayune has a story
one of Col. Casson. who was a sort, nf miiitn.
ry and ciril governor of the Northern section
of Mississippi a quarter of a century since.?
Tho country was tilled with theives of one
kind and another, and on one occasion, a
young fellow, named Dobson, wns suspected
of stealing a horse, and it was suggested by
some one that it was impossible to get a
hold of him, Col. Cusson drew down his eye
brows in a dignified manner as if casting about
in his mind previous to giving the 'opinion
of the Court, and said ;
'Gentlemen, I will issue au Ognuin Torum
Writ, and have him corporal led beforo
m?.'
'Jtut what kind of a writ is that Colonel ?"
asked one old man with caution.
'Its a writ, said the Colonel gravely, "to
take him as well where he aint us where he
is, and have him corporally before us.
This wns satisfactory to the meeting and
six men were dispatched with this awful writ,
who returned in about an hour with the renowned
Dobson in strings. He wns arraigned,
witnesses hut noevidenco of oven a secondary
nature could bo obtained ; yet, after
biking the Vote, a majority found him guilty.
The Colonel then put on an awful solemn
visage, and said?
'Isaac Dobson ? by authority of the ninth
section of laws in the cases, I pass the sentence
of death upon you?to be hanged by
die neck until you are dead, dead, dead?
not for stealing horses but that horses may
not bo stolen 1"
That evening Dobson was led to a blnkjack
and lianged'according to the sentence of
'the Court, admitting that lie bad stolon'the
horses, and acknowledging tlio justice of his

"One of Georgia'* fair daughter* ha* .proved
to the world that there is a Intent power
even in the needle and thread, and that tikis
power was only to be developed to be admired.
Messrs. John Williams <k Hon, of
No. 515 J'earl street, have had on exhibition
for several days past an exquisite price of
needle-work, executed by a lady in Macon,
and which is to be exhibited next month at
the Georgia State Fair. The subject sketched
is that of tbo "Surrender of Marry Queen
jf Scots to tike Confederate Lords, nt Carberry
Hilf," in the ytear 1507, and is treated
in such a life-like manner as to bring all
the circumstances of tho occasion vividly before
the mind's eye. Tho colors of the enLire
piece are of tiro .most gorgeous and
beautiful description, and tho various figures
have a lifo ami individuality rarely if ever
before seen in any similar piece of work.?
The features of the, face have an expression
wonderfully true to nature, and tho whole

who, we arc informed, employed five mouths'

said that she who is married a second time

Tiik TIkaittiks of Flogging.?About
the best comment on the custom of
'licking' children for slight offences,
that we have heard of lately, was a remark
made by a little girl, who was
told by her mother to retire to bed.?
She was usually chastised each day,
about sundown, regularly, but on this
occasion, her mischievous pranks had
been unaccountably overlooked, and
she could not understand It. Accordingly,
when her mother told her to go
to bed, she lingered.
'Why don't you go to your chamber,
Laura r asked the parent.
'Why, mother, said the child, looking
up with an arch expression, yon
haven't whipped me yet /'

English tavern keepers simply give
notice by public advertisement of tnfcir
intention to "dress a tine lively turtle*
on such a day ; but the Yankee, more
atrociously, writes in chalk upon the
devoted animal's back, "Soup to morrow,"
and places him on parade before
his'hotel; thus basely making hiin a
party to his own murder, and deluding
him, in defiance of all the.laws of nations,
to advertise his own execution.
A i'aintkh in St. Domingo was one
day disposing of a horse to his neighbor
and being questioned by the purchaser
regarding its qualities, among
the rest whether it kiclted, the disposer
riplied it was the quiotcst animal immaginable.
He had, however, hardly
used the exprecsion when it flung up it
heels, to the danger of the by-etanders.
The purchaser, being irritated at the
duplicity of the other, reproached him
with his intended deception, when, to
substinate the oeaceful character of the
animal, he called one of his slaves, and
demanded of him if he ever saw this
hose kick before ? 'Oh, no, me,' smartly
answered the negro, 'never saw him
kick before?always saw him kick behind.
Woman's Love.?A cotcmporary
thus discourses upon this subject:
'IIow loviug is woman! Aye, she
is amazingly sickly in her attachment.
She will cling to the chosen object of
her heart like a possum to a gum tree,
and yon can't seperate her without
snapping strings that no art can mend,
and leave a portion of licr soul upon
the upper leather of her affections.?
She will sometimes see something to
love where others can see nothing to
admire; and when her fondness is once
I fastened on to a fellow, it sticks like
glue and molasses on a bushy kekd of
hair."
The Passions are like those daughters
which the poet has fabled Tor
"King Lear." They first begnile their
victim of all his moral sovereignty and
l>ower, and when he is weak, ana old,
and dependant, then they strip him of
every ministering joy, of every atten
(laut qoiisolation, and then cant hi in out
into the desert, and leave him in his
wretched solitude, in his miserable imbecility,
to the darkness of the ni^ht,

man of war wasfe cripple, yet he was
not laid up in ordinary, but continued
actively employed in the service of his
oountrv. Very-latoly ho was intrusted
with despatches for the Admirality
from a foreign station, and having arrived
at Falmouth, set off in a' postchaise

to be showii to bed, which he
was. The chambermaid inquired of
him if she might fetch away his candle
after he got into, bed, but this the sailor
thought was giving unnecessary
trouble, so told her he would put it
out himsoif. TTuwover, this he lorgot
to do; but slipping off his coat and
waistcoat, and tying his pocket handkerchief
round his head, laid down,
without unshipping his weoden leg,
and fell asleep. About two in the
morning, a stout kitchen wench, on
passing liis room door to go to rest, discovered
the light in the officer's department,
which she entered to bring away,
observing that the chainl>ermaid was
always forgetting something or other.
On looking round the room to sec that
all was safe, she discovered about six
inches of the wooden leg out at the
bottom of the bed, which she, miata- \
king for the handle of the warming
pan, laid hold of it, exclaiming "Curse
that slut of a chambermaid, 6ho has
left tho warming-pan in the gentlema's

officer flat on the floor.
An Original Anecdote.
Tho Portland Argus relates that
Capt. K., a shrewd steamboat captain
from the State of Maine, caught a Jeremy

day, as he was making from Poston to
"down east," and pinned him up in

"Very well," aaya Capt K., "I won't

The fellow was stripped when he
