A company of Southern ladies were one dav in a parlor, when the conversa tion chanced to turn on the subject of earthly affliction. Lach had her story of trial and bereavement to relate, ex cent one pale, sad looking woman,whose lustreless eye ana aejectea air snowea thatsho was a prey to the deepest meian choly. Suddenly arousing herself, she said in a hollow voice, IMot one ot you know what trouble is.' 'Will you please, Mrs. Grny,' said the kind voice of a lady who knew her story, ' tell us what you call trouble V ' I will, if you desire it,' she replied, ' for I have seen it. My parents pos sessed a competence, and my girlhood was surrounded by all the comforts of life. I seldom knew an ungratihed wish, and was always gay and light hearted. I married at nineteen - one I loved more than all the world besides. Our home was a retired one, but the sunlight never fell on a lovlier one, or a happier household. Years rolled on peacefully. Five children sat around our table, and a little curly head still neslleo in my bosom. One night, about sundown, one of those fierce black storms came on, which are so common in our Southern climates, tor many hours the rain poured lncessantly.- Morning dawned, but still the elements raged. The whole Savannah seemed a float. The little stream near our dwelling became a raging torrent. Be fore we were aware of if, our house was surrounded by water ; 1 managed with my babe to reach a little elevated spot, on which a lew wide spreading trees were standing, whose dense foliage af forded some protection, while my hus band and sons strove to save what they could of our property. At last a fear ful surge swept away my husband : and he never rose again. Ladies no one ever loved a husband, more, but that was not trouble. Presently my sons saw their danger, and the struggle for life became the on ly consideration. They were as brave loving boys as ever blessed a mother's heart, and I watched their efforts to es cape with such agony as only a mother can feel. They were so far off I could not speak to them, but I could see them closing nearer and nearer to each other, as their little island grew smaller and smaller. The sullen river raged around the huge trees ; dead branches, upturned trunks, wrecks of houses, drowning cat tle, masses of rubbish, all went floating past us. My boys waved their hands to me, and then pointed upward. I knew it was a farewell signal, and you, mothers, can imagine my anguish. I saw them all perish and yet that was not trouble. I hugged my babe close to my heart, ftiiu when the water rose to my feet, I cliniUfd into the low branches of the trt es and kept retiring before it, till an all powerful hand staid the waves, that they should come no farther. I was saved. All my worldly possessions were swept away ; all my earthly hopes blighted yet that was not trouble. My baby was all I had left on earth. I labored night and day to support him and myself, and sought to train him in the right way ; but as he grew older, evil companions won him from me. He ceased to care tor his mother's coun cels ; he would sneer at her entreaties and agonizing prayers. He left my humble roof that he might be unres trained in the pursuit of evil, and at last, when heated by wine one night, he took the life of a fellow being, and end ed his life upon the scaffold. My heav enly Father had filled up my cup of sorrow before ; now it ran over. That was trouble, ladies, such as I hope His mercy will spare you from ever experi encing.' There was no dry eye among her listeners, and the warmest sympathies were expressed for the bereaved mother, whose sad history had taught them a useful lesson. RIOTOUS DEMONSTRATIONS. Baltimore Sept 11. 1857. As is usual, on .holiday occasions, Saturday was characterized by several riotous demonstrations on the part of disorderly gangs, which would proba bly have resulted in much bloodshed had they hot been promptly interfered with and put down by the officers of the several districts in which they show ed themselves. On Saturday, about noon, two voting men, named Samuel Taylor and George Webb, while walk ing in the neighborhood of Light street extended, were attacked by a numfeer of the gang ruling that locality, chased through the streets and fired at. Tay lor, one of the two named, drew a pis tol in self-defense and discharged it be hind him at his pursuers. Neither of the parties were injured by the shots. Immediately after the firing the mem bers and adherents of the two political clubs 1he "Hunters" and "Hard Times" began to collect at opposite points in numbers that gradually in creased until they mustered several hundred on either side. Weapons were now displayed, and taunts of every des cription indulged in. Sergeant Crouch, of the southern district, hearing of the emeute, hastened to the spot with some fifty or sixty officers, and succeeded in placing himself and men between the hostile bodies, who pressed upon him. The crowd on both sides had now swelled to several thousand persons, many of whom took no part in the dis turbance but remained spectators. Fi nally several muskets were fired off by the contending parties into each other, and the muzzles' of muskets were ob served pointihg from the windows of the surrounding houses. It was a mo ment that demanded firmness and in stant action on the part of the officers, and they proceeded to arrest several found inciting to riot. Officer Jackson, whilst in the discharge of his duty, was struck on the head by a brick and cut in the ear, it is suppesed by a knife. Officer Brazer was also attacked by two men, who struck him in the face and attempted to shoot him. The Officer to be even, drew a horse-pistol and at tempted to nse it in self-defense, but the weapon snapping the officer dropped it and had recourse to his f'five-shooSer." But luckily for the offenders he did not fire, but with the assistance of officer Marshall took both into custody. They were arraigned before Justice. Webb upon the charge of rioting, assaulting and resisting the officers whilst in the lischarge of their duty. They gave the names of John Jones and William Hartlove. A woman was also arrested charged with inciting to riot and taunt ing the officers. The accused were all bailed to auswer the charges at court. After these arrests the crowd gradually dispersed, and peace was restored to the neighborhood. On the evening of the same day the scene of outlawry and violence was transferred to the Lexington market. Several belligerent gangs met in the maiket and after driving all peaceable citizens therefrom, flourished pistols and knives at each other. Officer Kelly, of the western district, went into their midst, and single handed, succeeded in dispersing the lawless gatherings before a collision occurred. On yesterday afternoon t wo lads got into a disturbance With two others in Park street, near Liberty. Several pis tols of the smallest calhbre were dis charged, and officer Curel coming tipor the combatants arrested one of them uamed John Hogan, about 13 years of age. Un his person was found a small donhle barreled pocket pistol with both barrels loaded to the muzzle. Justice Root held him to bail to answer at court. Sun. AN ACCIDENTAL SHOT. Please your lordship's, honor and glory,' replied Tim, I shot the hare by accident.' - ' By accident T remarked Captain O - Halloran.' ' 1 was firing at a bush, and the beast ran across my aim. all of his own ac cord.' 1 The gamekeeper tells a different story,' replied his lordship. Uch I don t put faith in what that man says,' said Tom Ryan, when he never cares about speaking the truth any how. He tould me t'other dav ver lordship was not so fit to fill the chair of j stice as a jackass 1' Ay, ay !' exclaimed Viscount Kfls- kiddery, ' indeed, and what did you say V 4 Plaise your lordship. I said your lordship was.' , AOCIDXSTAI. DEATH OF A SPOBTSlfAIT. . A melancholy affair occurred on Friday afternoon at Philadelphia, by which Mr. Edward Genar, of the firm of Genaj & Co., tobacconists, lost his life.- The de ceased, with three friends, was oat gun ning. The; sport was continued during the morning", and about one' o'clock P. M., two ot the parties repaired to me notei, eaving Mr. Genar and one of nis mends, John Ellison, seated under a tree. While the two last named were in this condition, Ellison, in raising his run to fire at a flock of birds, caught the trigger in his watch chain, and . the gun was discharged, the contents entering the heart of Geoaj. The unfortunate man died instaatly. THE LANGUAGE OF DRESS. Under this head we are impiessed to say few words to the fadles, marriagea ble girls especially. We do this .'-privately and confidentially,'' and request all young gentlemen to have the polite ness not to read this article. It is for the girls exclusively. V Well, then, girls, yoti expect to get married, do youfnot 7 If you do not. you should. You also wish to many. don't you 7 If you do not, you are eith er more or less than woman. Prestim ing that you are all right in this matter we call your attention to the following extract, the words of a popular author i Kf A 'vvjifiA lrwtlrea nrottior it aftlwa Hut rmf a m w uw a tvuive mm av v avav wu I know it. in hec neat Jmorning- frock of calico, than ia toe lncoogroons pile of finery which he dlgMfiowiib 4beVtit 4of fufTdrtssV Man? Unmarried fe male nrst wins tne neart oi ner tuture husband in some simple, unpretending attire, which,' if consulted about, she would pronounce too cheap except for ordinary wear, but which, by x its acci dental suitability to her figure, face, and carriage, idealized her youth wonderful ly. If the sex would study taste in dress more, and care less for costliness, they would have no reason to regret it." Now we assure one and all the un married of the fair sex that we have known many females, who really wish ed to marry, live in single blessedness and die husbandless, for no other reas on, in all human probability, than that ot dressing too gaudily. We have heard the sentiments of the male sex ex pressed a thousand times on this point, and in every instance, whether the ob server was young or old, young man, bachelor or widower, rich or poor, ug ly or handsome, wiseman, fop or dan dy, in every instance an over dressed or expensively "rigged oat" female has lost cast in his estimation. This is perfectly natural and proper. A foolish and silly man is not worth marrying ; and a sensible man wiy sure: ly judge you advantageously in exact ratio to the plainness and simplicity of your dress. A poor man, or a man in moderate circumstances, however worthy and de serving dare not marry a female who is superfluously done up in noons and flounces, however lovely and talented she may be, because he has sense e- nough to suspect she will be an expen sive treasure. He may love Her, and still feel that he can not afford to marry her. And the rich man though lie likes her personally and admires her other ac complishments, dare not take her for better or worse, because the dashing style of her habiliments, indicates too great a passion for the admiration of the world. He fears, justly too, that her passion for general admiration will be a serious obstacle in tne way ot man ifestation of affection for him individ ually. And as all men are selfish, whether women are or not, both rich and poor in selecting a good wife, act on the principal, that, Beauty wben unadorned, ) adorned toe rnou. Life Illustrated. HIGH LIFE BELOW STAIRS. A wealthy family residing in the Southwestern part of Philadelphia, left home during the hot weather, leaving the house in charge of thi female ser vants. A few nights since, says the Bulletin, some intimate friends called at the house to inquire after the absent ones, and finding no bar to their prog ress they Tentured in. They first en tered the dining room, where they found a table laid in elegant style for a som tuous entertainment; there were "covers" for about forty persons, and there was quite a lavish display of wines, &c, of the choice brands the master of the house prides himself upon. The some what astonished Visitors extended their explorations further and discovered that the parlor was occupied bv a rather less exclusive class than was tfsu&l ttitrre. The gentlemen wore good stout shoes, which were not over clean, and they had quite as strong brogues Upon their tongues as ft pan their feet. Some of the cavaliers were in their shirt sleeves, and they lolled gracefully tfpon the bro ca telle sofas, while they did thn agree able to the brawny, big-fisted maidens, who were not at all discommoded by the decided smell of whiskey in the a partment, or by the wreaths of smoke from the short clay pipes the sterner sex held between their teeth. It waa evi dent the Biddies and their male "com pany" were having a "good time" and that to make themselves perfectly com fortable they had not hesitated about using and consuming what did not be long to them. The friends of the fam ily who had dropped in, dropped out again without having excited much at tention, so intent were all hands upon their frolic. We presume that wben the owner of the property returns to bis home, nobody will know what became of the wine, unless the cat broke the bottles ; nobody scratched the rosewood and walnut, and Bridget will be entire ly at a loss to account for by what pos sible means the tapestry and damask became defiled.

The past week has been one of unusual excitement to the people of this portion of the Territory, io consequence of the hang ing by the people of three Indiana for the murder of a Dutchman on the road . some fifteen miles above here. , Two squaws, knowing of the sad affair, hastened to in form' the nearest whites. Pursuit was at once mads to capture them, which was soon effected, and they then were handed over to the sheriff to be taken to St. Paul or Fort Snelhng. Before such a step could be accomplished the whites took the pruo er m charge and conveyed them to Lit tle Falls,; The acta JbetcjfOiade known, h waa oeaaea w ojfflg tM . inrce at once.

A point e the roadside was seieetedr pole was extended from two trees, a farm wagon was driven under it, and on the end stood the three doomed men, who acknowledged their guilt : The nooses were made fast. to the pole and pass ed around their necks ; the word was giv en to the driver, and off lie drove, all three falling a distance of eighteen inches.. Thus three lives passed from time to eternity, al most without a struggle, for a crime cau-f ed by the free use of whiskey in the bands of those who know not its power or influ ence over the red men. .REPORTED INDIAN FIGHT. The Independence Messenger, under a flaming head, speaks of the arrival of a gen tleman from the Plains on the previous day, who reported that be saw an express man with dispatches from Fort Kearney to Fort Leavenworth. He stated that Col. Sum ner had attacked the Chejenne Indians, retreating rapidly toward the Arkansas ; that a severe battle ensued immediately af ter Col. Sumner came upon them ; that the action resulted "in the indiscriminate mas sacre of four or fits hundred of the Indians, men, women, and children.'' And When all this was done It is gravely added that Sumner and his men were "subsisting en tirelyupon btifftlo meat." We must be permitted to dcubt the correctness of this news. It is hardly possible that CoL Sum ner, who had really several very hard ac counts to settle with the Cbeyennes, would so far forger himself as to make war upon women and children, as stated. We doubt very much whether the battle was fought at all : but, if it was, no officer of the Amer ican army would have authorized or per' milted any slaughter of women and chU dren to take place. St. Louis Republican. MUTTJAT, CONFIDENCE. TLe New York Journal of Commerce', in speaking of the difficulty borrowers have in getting the necessary accommodations, says : "If the people showed half as much fear of the banks as eotae of the banks do of the people,- riot one of these institutions coul I maintain specie payments for eight and forty hours. We do not mean that this confidence id (he banks is misplaced : on tne contrary, we believe that these in stitutions are, for the most past, eminently worthy of the public esteem : but we do mean to say with all plainness that this confidence is not reciprocated to the extent in which it is deserved, and that if the mrrehnnts are crowded down and driven to retaliation by unnecessary severity, those who appear to have the advantage to-day will certainly be worsted in the conflict Even if the banks ignore all responsibility to the publrct arid acton the Drincinle of every on tot himself they will still find abundant reasons in their own interest to be forbearing and lenient toward the mer cantile community."
