The father and the favorite daughter remained in the conservatory. " The heart is untouched, however," said Mr. Molesworth, looking after her with a smile. such a mysterious formation. She told me that she was born in the city of London, was cousin to Queen Victoria. Under Queen Victoria's advioe she dressed in men's clothes, and left the country at 18 years of age. She possessen wealth, went to France, studied Anatomy, and from thence went to New York and practiced medicine—married a wife, was the father of two children—two years after lost her wife and property and again assumed the female dress—married a man of some wealth, was the mother of three childten parted from her husband and became a wander over the earth. She closed her narrative, while her tears flowed freely, by saying that " she felt like Cain—driven from the face of all men !" whereupon our "soaped" friend turned his back ttnd quietly wiped several fliea into his drink.

The Editor—By One. mmm8t The editor is the dupe of destiny. Itys lot was knocked down to him a bargain, and it turns out to be a take in. His land oi promise is a mountain stuffed with thorns. His laurel wreath is a garland of nettles. His honors resolve themselves in a capital hoax, his pleasures are heavy penalties, his pride is the snull of a candle, his power but volumes ot smoke. The editor is the most ill stared man alive. He and ho alone, a thousand pretenders about town notwithstanding, is indeed the most ill-used individual. He seems to g®ern opijiion, and, iit reality, is a victim to nio opinion of other*. He incurs more thau nine-tenths of the risk and responsibility, and reaps less than one-tenth oftho reward of reputation. I The defect of bis work are liberally assigned to him, the merits are magnanimous- I ly imputed to his correspondents, if a bad article appears the editor is unsparingly condemned ;—if a brilliant article inserted, anonymous, carries ofF the cnlogium. The editorial function is supposed to consist in substitutions of "it to be," for it is, and the insertion of the word however, here and there to impede the march of fine style* Comas and Colans are his only marks, his niche of fame is merely a parenthesis; his life is spent in ushering clever people into deserved celebrity ; he sits as charioteer, outside the vehicle in which prodigious talents are driven to immortality. It is his fortune to insert all his contributions in the temple of glory, and to excludo himself for want of space. He always hopes to go on in, but expires unblest at last. He bestows present popularity on thousands without securing posthumous renown as his own share. His career in this life is a tale of mystery "to be continued in our next." He is only thought of when things go wrong in the journal. Curiosity then looks out the corner of its eyes, and with brows and lips pursed up, querulously ejaculates "who is he ?" If by chance, praise of instead of censure should be meditated, the wrong man ia immediately mentioned. People nre only certain of their editor when they are going to cowhide him. Is there u bright passage or two in an indifferent article, you may be sure that they are not indebted for that polish to the editorial pen. Is there a dull phrase or harsh period in -some fuvorit#contribution ( Oh! the editor lias altered it, or neglected to revise the proof! But if the editor is abused for what he inserts ho is twice abused for what he neglects. It is a curious fea'.ure in his destiny that if he strikes out but a single line of an article, whether in poetry or prose, that line is infallibly the crowning beauty of the production. It is not a little odd that when he declines a paper it is sure to be far the best thing tho author ever w rote. Accepted articles may be bad ; rejected ones good It is admitted that judgment is the first essential for any editorship, and it is insisted on, that judgment is'exacily the quality which the editor has not. An author is praised in a review, he is grateful to an individual writer, whose name he has industriously inquired for; an author is condemned in a review, he is unspeakably disgusted with the editor. Week after week, month after mouth, the said editor succors the oppressed, rnises up the weak, applauds virtue, exalts talent ; he pens or promulgates the praise of friends, of their books, pictures, acting, safety lamps and steam paddles, but from tho catalogue of golden names his own is an eternal absentee. 103 Murray, near Weit Street, New York' GKO.

Dr. Johnson's attachments to the fair sex wore very transient. ' * • In a mail whom religious education had secured from licentious indulgence, the passion of love, when onoe it has seized him, it is very strong; being unimpaired by dissipation, and totally concentrated in one object. This was the experience of Dr. Johnson when he became the fervent admirer of Mrs. Porter, after her first husband's death. Mrs. Porter told me that when he was first introduced to her mother his appearance was very forbidding; he was then lean and lank, so that his immense structure of bones was hideously striking to the eye, and the scars of scrofula were deeply visible. He also wore his hair which was straight and stiff, separated behind ; and he often had seemingly convulsive starts and odd gesticulations which tended at once to excite surprise and ridicule. Mrs. Porter was so much engaged with his conversation that she overlooked all these external disadvantages, and said to her daughter, " this is the most sensible man J ever saw in my life."

Aug. 2,1850. ty lD nrj Lawyer Molesworlh was a rich landlord n Cranly, the nutive town of Miss Mitford. 4e had two daughters, to whom his pleasint house owed its chief attraction. Agnes ivas a beautiful woman, Jessey was a pretty girl. The fond father intended that Jessey should marry a poor relation, one Charles Woodford. Charles had been brought up by his uncle's kindness, and hud recently returned into the family from a great office in London. Charles was to be the immediate partner and the eventual successor to the flourishing business of his benefactor, whose regard seemed fully justified by the exccllentCeonduct and remarka. ble talents of the orphan nephew. Agnes, who secretly ent'-rtained an affection for Charles, was destined by her father for a young baronet, who had lately been much ut t!iC house. Here ensued i short pause in the dialogue during which Agnes appeared trying to occupy herself with collecting the blossoms of a cape jessamine, and watering a favorite geranium; but it would not do; the subject was at heart, and she could not force her mind to indifferent occupations. She returned to her father,* who had been anxiously watching her countenance, and resumed the conversation.

Though Mrs. Porter was double the age of Johnson, and her person and manner, as described to me by the late Mr. Garrick, were by no meana pleasing to others, she must have had a superiority of understanding and talents, as she certainly inspired him with more than ordinary passion ; and she having signified her willingness to accept his hand, he went to Litchfield to ask his mother's consent tcD the marriage, which be could not but be conscious was a very imprudent scheme, both on account of their disparity of years and her want of fortune.

Hut Mrs. S. can speak for herself only. There are many other women who find the long dress very inconvenient, and think it ungraceful, burthensome and indecent. In regard to the short dress, the experience of Mrs. S. is worth just as much as and no more than that of any other individual. After wearing it a few times, she threw it aside, convinced it was a mistake, (she made the mistake in cutting it, no doubt.) We have women ia this State who have worn the dress three or four years, and some as many months, and all who have given it a fair trial and altered their garments until they felt perfectly easy, pronounce it a most comforta. ble dress, and a great improvement on the old style. All the objections made by Mrs. S. can be easily obviated, cxceptthat of her personal modesty, which would make her wish herself away when a woman in skirts should chance to stoop to pick up a thimble or pluck a flower and thus expose tier underskirts, and the shadow of a pair of legs encased in trousers. On such occasions, we might recommend her to try her own panacea for all excessive modesty, that which she often prescribes for those who are easily put to the blush, shocked or horrified—'viz : the smelling- Stoves, Hollow-ware, Tinware, 8c., H.

He brought ilia whole family in a two horse wagon, lie still believed that General Taylor was President, and wanted to know if the "Kamschatkians" had taken Cuba, and if ao, where they had taken it. He had sold his corn far twenty-five cents—the price being thirty.one—but upon going to deposite the money, they told him it waa mostly counterfeit. The only hard money he had waa aome three cent pieces, and those some aharper had "run on him" for hall dimes! His old lady smoked a "cob pipe," and would not believe thnt anything else could be used. One of the boys went to a blacksmith's shop to be measured for a pair of shoes, and another mistook the market house for a church. After hanging his hat on a meat hook, he piously took a seat on a butcher's stall, and listened to an auctioneer, whom he took to be the preacher. He left before "meetin' was out," and had no great opinion of the "sarmint." One of the girls took a lot of "seed onions" to the post office to trade them for a letter. She had a baby, which she carried in a "augar trough," stopping at times to rock it on the side walk.—When it cried, she stuffed its mouth with an old stocking, and sarg "Barbara Allen." The oldest boy had sold two "coon sidns" and was on a ''bust." When last seen, he had called for a glass of"sody and water," and stood soaking making wry facis. The shop-keeper, mistaking his meaning, had given liiin a mixture of sal soda and water, and it tasted strongly of soap. But "he'd hearn tell of aody and water, and «m bound to give it a fair trial, puke or no pube." Some "town fellow" came in and called for lcmonada with a "fly in it,'' n. A.
