"Can vou give me specie for this 1" "No."' Chevalier Wykoff on Intellectual Womw. libera! to the wants of others, is a  to the community in which he lives, rio does not reoeive the thoughtless praise that is given to the spendthrift who throws away his money in careless generosity, and never knows whether a dollar of charity does a shilling of good, but he is exerting an influence upon those below him in point of property, which strengthens them in the ability to take care ol themselves, to live in independence upon their own industry, aided by their own " foretlKWght.'' W.'# THE PITTSTOH GAZETTE, ao al. foftn. " A lady asked me this morhing what 1 thought of the beauty of the ladies of English aristocracy. (She was the Scotch lady, bv-the-bye, so the question was a fair one.) 1 replied, that certainly report had not exaggerated their charms. Then came a home question—how the ladies of America. ' Now (or it, patriotism,' said 1 to myself, and invoking to my aid oertain lair sainUof my own countiy, whose faces I distinctly remembered, 1 assured her that 1 had never seen more beautiful woman than I had in America. Grieved was 1 to be obliged to add, ' But your ladies keep their beauty much later and longer.' This iact stares one in the face in every company ; one meets ladies past lifty, glowing radiant and blooming, with a fiesliness of complexion and fulness of outline refreshing to contemplate. Whut can be the reason ? Tell us, Muses and Graces, what can it be ? Is it the conservative power of sea-logs and coal smoke— the same cause that keeps the turf  and makes the holly and the ivy flourishing ? How conies it that our married ladies dwindle, fade, and grow thin—that their noses incline to sharpness, and their elbows to angularity, just at the time of life when their island bisters round out into a becoming amplitude and fullness ? ll it is the tug and the sea coal, why then I am afraid we shall never come up with them. But perhaps there may be other causcs why a country which starts some of the most beautiful girls in the world produces so few beautiful women. Have not our close heated stove rooms somewhat to do with it? HavCe hot the immense amount of hot biscuits, hot corncakes, and other compounds, got up with acrid poison of saleratus something to do with it?— Above all, has notour climate, with its al ternate extremes of heat and cold, a tendency to produce liahits of indoor indolence I Climate, certainly fins a great deal to do with it; ours i-s evidently more trying and more exhausting, and because it is so, we should not pile upon its back errors of dress and diet which are avoided by our neighbors. They keep thei|[ beauty because lliey keep their health. It has been as remarkable as anything to me, since I have been here, that I do riot constantly, ax al home, hear one and another spoken of as in miserable health, very delicate, etc. Health seems to he therulc, and not the exception. For my part I must say that the most favorable ometi 1 know of for female beauty in America, is the multiplication of water cure establish, ments, where our ladies, if they get nothing else, do gniti some ideas as to the necessity of fresh air, regulur exercise, simple diet, and the laws of hygiene in general.—Sunday Mercury. In VPvkofTs new book—"My Courtship and its Consequences," we find the follow, ing passage. It does honor to the head and heart ol the writer, and proves him to be a man of far more sense than has generally been supposed— " 1 got back to Paris in high spirits, and certes, I had reason enough to be abundantly satisfied with my trip to the land of Tell. All doubtful points w*re cleared up. I had ascertained Miss Gamble's regard for me not only from her confidafite. Mary, but at last by her own confession, and by the pledge of her hand to rtfe in proof of it.— Whatever apprehensions might still beset me as to future crosses, 1 had none as to the final redemption of the hand she had so deliberately and repeatedly plighted."

The publication of •' Rulli Hall '' has stimulated public curiosity with regai J to the name and character of its authoress, and given occasion for a number ot articles purporting to describe her person or nar. rate her history. Some of these article* contain statements which we know to be groundless, and even calumnious ; and no one of them that we have seen is calculated to give the public a correct idea of her character. We embrace the opportunity to tell our readers a great deal more than they ought to believe. , Fanny Fern is the most retiring and unobtrusive of human beings. More  any celebrity we have evor known, she shrinks frotn personal display and public mf observation. During her residence tjiffjBk'1 cHy she has lived in the most perieHj vacy, never going to parties or  never giving sutih herself, leliising to en.#* ' large her circle of friends, and finding full employment as well as satisfaction in her domestic and literary duties. She has probably received more invitations to pri vate and public assemblies, and her acquaintance lias been more frequently sought by distinguished persons, during he period of her residence here, than any other individual. To all solicitations of this kind she returns a mild but decided negative. In the hotels a*, which she has resided, no one, ftither landlord or guest, lins known her ah Fanny Fern. Indeed, sbd has art abhorrence of personal publicity, and cannot* be perstiaded to sacrifice any part of the comforts of an absolute if eng. We cannot but approve her resoluilm* •.««»« C D "No, sir.

There was much, I observed, in her disposition congenial to my own.— Her buoyant temperament and vivacious manners harmonized with my own mercu ria! nature. There were besides, good breeding, grace, and amiability. Loftier traits were not wanting ; for 1 could discern a bold spirit and uncommon force of cb»r. ecter. But the greatest attrnclion of all, (and to me an indispensable one in man or woman) was her vigorous and highly cultivated intellect. The fascination of an original and powerful intellect has for me something indescribable. In a man it ex • rts a singular sway over my feelings, whatever drawbacks may clog it; but in u woman, it stirs within me an admiration that amounts to fanatacism. JOB WORK.

STEURMER 8 BROTHERS, " This, I believe, is not common to all men, for the sterner sex are apt to look with jealousy and dislike on a , baa bleu, as an interloper upon territory iliat' belongs exclusively to themselves. However '.his may be, a superior intellect in a woman, united as it invariably is to a great strength of character, has always enchained wnify it humbled me. Intellect and energy in a man seem to me more a of course; for with these instruments, as ft were, they- cut their way to  hights ; but in women, on the toutmry, they are for the most part stumbling  to their success in life. It is by softer attributes that their destiny is accomplished ; and uuturo has ordained that woman's in fluence should rather er\ert its spell oyer the heart than the reason of the rougher sex. Thus, an intellectual woman is rather an exception to her sex, and her setting up a rival in mental effort n6t only exposes her to the less of male sympathy, but, a* I have said, "is calculated to excite positive feelings of aversion. A woman of genius has, therefore, a cruel choice to make ; and before she ventures upon a struggle with the' other sex, in the lolly domain of letters and sciencc, she must have gone through with a painful estimate of the sac. rifices, and above all, the self-denial necessary for the task. The high cultivation of her intellect demands in a woman the ab dication of her true destiny ; and it is for this voluntary martyrdom, perhaps, that I look up 10 them with so much deference and affeotion. Of all the characters that flitted across that mighty scene, the French revolution, there are none, in my view, to surpass, in true heroism, Madame Roland. To say nothing of her intellectual powers, what an amazing triumph of mind over feminine nature, to refuse, as she did, an easy escape from her prison, and to meet a terrible death with the calm courage of a soldier."

In strength of pur- we know no: her equal among wome't(The word which best describes Fanny Fern is tho word Lady. All her ways and tastes are feminine and refined.-— Everything she' wears, every article o furniture in her Prams, all the details o her table, must be clean, elegant, tasteful. Her attire, which is generally simple and inexpensive, ia always exquisitely nice und becoming. In the stormiest days, when no visitor could be expected, she is as carclully dressed as though she was Oping to court. We say, as carefully, though in tact, she has a quiok instinct for the becomiug, and makes l.ersalf attractive without bestowing much tims or thought upon the matter. Her voice is singularly musical ; her manner varies with her humor, but is alwnys that of a lady. One , who knows Fanny Fern has an idea of what kind of women they must have been for whom knights-errant did battle in the middle ages. With ail her slrength Fanny Fern ia extremely sensitive. Sho can enjoy more, stffjr more, love more, hate more, admire more and detest more, than one whom we 1 have known. With all her gentleness f manner, there is not a drop of milk and water . in Iter veins. She believes in having justice done. Seventy limes and seven she could forgive a repentant brother ; but not cr.ce, unless ha repented. Fanny Fern writes rapidly, in a large, bold hand ; but she sends no article away without a careful revision ; end her manuscript is puzzling to the printers from its numberless erasures and insertions. She writes from her heart aud her eyes; she has little aptitude or taste for abstract thought. She never talks ol her writings and cares little for criticism, however severe. She is no more capable of writing an intentional double cnlendre, than the gross-minded men who have accused her of doing so are capable of apreciating the worth of pure womanhood. Such are tome of our impressions of this celebrated authoress. We have read lately that she smokos, rouges, flirts, dresses in millinery, wears Wellington boots, snuffs candles at ten paces, performs on the stage, drives tandem, and cuts an unprecedented dash generally, to the dasliy astonishment ot Broadway. Those who are familiar with the wiitings ol Fanny Fern do not need to be assured that each and all of these allegation are utterly and a ludicrously false. She is no such person, The people who have asserted them are either puppies whom she has cut, or women whom she has cut out. Fanny Fern, it is true, has a superb figure and a striking piesenee. But oil her charms are her own; to nuture, unassisted, she owes all her beauty of figure, and all the rose in her cheeks, and every waving curl of her silken auburn hair.

Whether they could ever learn the modus operandi 0f beginning with a small cone shaped house, and from the inside working it until it increases in size a hundred fold, is rather doubtful at present.— Out nevertheless, we cannot tell what discoveries may be made in this miraculous age.

O. R. GORMAN, M. D. 1 roso with perfect calmness and great velocity to a hight of over two miles, my whole leelings being lltose of indescribable tranquility and gratified delight. There was no perceptible breeze until I reached the highest point of my voyage, directly over the bend of the Delaware, when four heavy currents struck my bailen on all sides with equal force. Finding the balloon full, I opened the valve three times in succession, and while letting off the gas as fast as I could, (the balloon'.at the sama lime rapidly emptying itself from the mouth,) a very strong under current forcing up into the mouth of the balloon, caused a roaring like the ocean in a heavy storm, followed by a noise like tho dis. charge of a cannon, and a sudden fall of about a hundred feet. I then looked*up, and saw my balloon all shattered, with the exception of two pieces—and being about one-eight the size of the balloon, formed a parachute in the top of the net work, and the other a sail at the side, and bore me off eastward. The wind rocked the car violently at the time, and for ten minutes succeeding. Knowing my situation, I had no feeling of fright or anxiety whatever, but tranquilly trusting in that same Almighty power I ever loved to trust, I prepared myself in the best possible manner 1 could fur my descent, believing I shoud land safely. I threw out my sand and grappling iron, placed myself firmly in the car in an upright position, my hands extended, clasping the handles on eaoh sido. I deliberately looked on all sides and admired the indescribable grandeur and beauty of the scene. I spent about ten minutes in singing a song of praise to the Creater of such a scene of beauty and sublime grandeur.

Edmund Randolph had been an object of Washington's kindly interest from his youth; his powerful influence had caused him to be elected Governor ol Virginia; he had appointed hirn successively Attor. ney General and Secretary ot State, and had treated him in every way with unlimited confidence, and almost parental fond Hess. The vulgar and violont abuse with which he was abused iu the disgraced minister's "Vindication," therefore incensed him to an extraordinary degree;—the occasion was one in which his feelings for a moment obtained u mastery over Hit habitual self control. We have from unquestiouable authority an anecdote illustrating this, which has not hitherto been published. Upon the settlement of the boundary between Pennsylvania and Virginia, some of Washington's lands fell within the former State, and (he late Mr. James Ross, of Pittsburg, was his agent for the sale of them. He came to Philadelphia to settle his account, and sending word to the President that he would wait on him at his pleasure, was invited to breakfast the next morning. On arriving, he found all the ladies—the Custises, the Lewises, Mrs. Washington, and others—in :'ie parlor, obviously in great alarm. Mr. Ross described them as gathered together in the middle of the room, like a flock of partridges in the field when a hawk is in the neighborhood. Very soon the President entered, and shook hands with Mr. Ross, bnt looked dark and lowering. They went in to breakfast; and after a little while the Secretary of War came in, and said to Washington," Have you seen Mr. Randolph's pamphlet ?" " i have," replied Washington, "and by the eternal God, he is the damnedest liar on the face of the Darth !" and as he spoke, he brought his ist down on the table with all his strength, ind with a violence which made the oups ind plates •tarifrom their plaoes- Hosf • D L- f-l« J-C-i.-l 1! . .

WENTZEL, Editobiai Homily.—There is nothing to be reud outside of the Bible which contains more didactic truth han an article in the Providence Journal, depreciating the arguments of those who would encourage the extravagant expenditures of the rich on the ground that it afford* employment for the poor. Such advice as the following should be engraved on table'.* of gold. '■ Extravagance is, in its direct consequences, the waste of properly the- waste of labor, the waste o! human sinews; it directs human industry into unprovable and hurtful channels. Its indirect elFect is tu set an example which is followed by those who have not the excuse that they can aflord it; to make people dissatisfied with the wholesome lood and the plain mode oI life whioh contented our fathers ; to create new desires, which can only be satisfied by enervating luxuries, and encourage false views oi life in a hundred ways. Where there is great extravagance there must be great poverty. If a large portion of the people ire engaged in producing that which is iot oi real utility, it can hardly be that snoughof what is necessary for the comfortable support of life will be produced or all ; and times will come, like the iresent, when honest labor waits in vain or employ men t. No matter how much s earned, unless there be providence and iconomy, there will be nothi.ig saved.— The capacity for spending money is aitojettier unlimited.

Um We very much suspect that this same Mr. Beardsloe is a lazy dog, and that he has indulged himself on many a fine sunny day by lying down alongside of an old chestnut fence, and there watching our little striped backed friend packing away in the hopper of his paper mill the half decayed fibres of the chestnut rail. The hornet makes his paper from chestnut— Mr. Bcardslce chooses bass wood. The object of the latter is no doubt to avoid infringing on the patent, but it will not hold water. - WYOMING HOTEL, Br • w.
