They are anticipating but a few idle years in the place they dignity by a name so sacred. They have come to think leisure, atid resources, and elegance, the only | component elements of the pluce. They are indeed yaluable, if not abused. Butto secure | them, men engage alsorbingly, exclusively, in business.

Out upon such a network of sophistry—sagh a mize of irreligion!

About five years simce she fell in love With a man wamed Smith, and under promise of marriage accompanied him te Boston. She loved not wisely, but too well, as the sequel od; for after sed: her in Bos- ton, 5: deserted her—and discarded by her relatives, the only alterna left ber was to doff her woman's gear sad donthe malo attire, which she meri «| did, and took tw sea to gain a livelihood. - a a merchant vessel, she was at once Jed as a cabin boy, and made three voy: to Liver- pool and back. During ene of voyages the ship was overhauled by pirates, but the Zallant crew succeeded in beating them off, aud during the rencontre our hervine was fore most in the fight. receiving a slight wound in the cheek, fur which she was complimented by thecaptain.

Arriving in Mobile, she was mysteriously instructed to come to this city and stop atthe Alabama Exchange, where she was informed Smith, who is a daguerreotypist, would join ber ina few days. While wander- ing forth yesterday in search of something to eat, she was arrested by officer Busby. Thus onded the recital of her eventful history. Dan Busby teok her before Recorder Bright, who. efter hearing her story, told ber she had curred a fine of $25 by appearing in male tire, and admonished her tu don her proper ap- pare! as soon as possible. She, however, rep resented to the Recorder that this was the only clothing she had, aud that she bad been so long accustomed to wearing the breeches it would be as eary for the leopard to change bis spotsor an Ethiopian his skin as for her to cust off the pantalovas, and, being in a good huwor, the Recorder discharged her. Serious Accibent—Four Mex Ixsvrep.— Une of the most serious accidents that we have ever been called upon to record, occurred at the corner of Park and Sarat about four o'clock Thursday afternoon. Six persons in the employ of Mr. were engaged in painting the outside of St. Alphonsus’ Church, when the out riggers to which the seafiuxl was attehed, broke off and precipi- tated four of them to the pavement. injaring them very severely if not mortally. James Connelly had both legs and both arms broken, and fell upon the iron rsiling with such vio- jence as te cause the point of one of the bal- istera to protrude through the fleshy part of the thigh, thereby greatly lacerating the limb and creating a dangerous wound. Henry Gayford had one leg and one arm broken. and received serious internal injury. John Morti- mer and Thomas Burns had no limbs broken but were severoly injured internally. The other two on the scaffold at the time of the ar- cident were Henry Jewell and James Hannah, bothof whom escaped uuinjared; the former by jumping upon an adjoining soaffili and the latter, whe isa boy, by catching bold of a rope to which the seaffold was attached After the oseurrence Connelly, Gayford and Burns were conveyed to the Lnfirmary on the corner of Green and Lombard streets, and Mortimer, who was an apprentice, was taken to the residence of Mr. Rosensteel, on the corner of Mulberry and Park streets. The: were ceverally consigned to the hands of skil- ful physicians. and everything was done for them that human nature could devise. hey ar> all considered to be in a critical condition, and doubts are entertained of their recovery. The oosasion of the accident was the broak- ing of the out riggers. It is stated that the men were aboat changing positions on the seaffold, when one of the riggers turned, and ng of brittle material, broke off near the building. syford and Burns were married men, and have families dependent upon them for sapport; the former has recently come to this eity from Norfolk.— Balt. American. Fioce ror tae Caimea.—There has been a steady and active demand for flour during the week. avd sales have been made reaching neaily 9,000 barrels, mostly to one firm. This flour is bought oma foreign order, and without a doubt will find its way tothe Crimea This firm have, within the past two weeks, pur- chased in this market about 30,000 bs of flour. at an average of sny $7.75 per barrel, thus throwing some two hundred and thi! | two thowsand five hundred dollars into the hands of our farmers, millers, and produce dealers.
