There is no more common liability in the pursuits of trade, than to be guided by woncous views of our own relations. It is a great thing to le generous, but a greater to be just. The intricacies of business and the facilities for expeditious trade, have so materially changed during the past few years, that a proper under standing of our position is peculiarly necessary in order to avoid invasion on ground not rightfully our own. in bonnets, therefore, is taking the bread out of the mouths of helpless females, and has the unenviable satisfaction of knowing that he is living at their expense. There is no justification for this infringe ment or ' oman s proper sphere. Neither the sense nor the wants of a community require it As well might a dealer give legal advice or wield a surgeon's knife, as take from the poor milliner her hard earned trade. Whatever necessary medley a town or country store must present, there can be no extenuation for invading a local mechanical employment least of all, one confined entirely to women.

In those articles of consumption which make up (be main stock of a couutry store, and which the teller is not required to have lent any mechanical aid in producing, it is sufficient to know that good taste and reasonable knowledge have been employed in their original selection. But when articles are offered for sale, involving me hanical skill which oar own neighbors josses, and which articles belong to the legitimate and only occupation of artisans t our owa doors, there is an evident clashing between the trader and tbe workman, which militates against our confidence in either. The peblic interests require that the several trades and callings should be kept distinct ; and the specu lator who adds to his own proper domain strip from the land of his neighbor mechanic, not oaly inflicts a griveous wrong on the latter, but injures the com munity on which he depends. There might be cited, as one example, the Millinery business. To obtain even an ordinary knowledge of this essential art, there is required time, discipline, money, asd mechanical ingenuity.

Ho bent hastily over the dying ensign, wiped away a tear, and rushed out after the soldiers. The good Quaker lady took one hand of the youth in her own, and pressed the; other over his clammy brow, where the cold drops of approaching death was fust gathering. He opened his eyes for the last time, smiled upon tho woman whose gate was now fixed upon him, murmured faintly, " dear mother," clasped her hand convulsively, and the next instant ceased to exist. The lady said not a word. She rose from her recumbent position, drew a snow linen sheet over the body, and with a sti fled sob looked down the avenue. In dif ferent portions of the open orchard ap peared soldiers bearing the dead or dying forms of their comrades, which they laid carefully down, and then rushed r&pidly towards their regiments, passing down the main avenue. In the space of a moment, more than a doicn soldiers were placed in this way directly around the mansion. Summoning her servants, one and all, the good lady went into tho orchard to aid the poor, dying soldiers as far as lay in her power. Her attention had not been given long thus, before an officer, in the buff and blue uniform of Washington's staff, came riding at full speed np the road, and turned, to mark down tho events of the period. But there exist extraordinary stories in many families which can be gathered, and they should be gathered, and they should be chronicled and among such sketches the women of the Revolution noble hearted should not be forgotten. Seventy-five years ago, there stood upon the summit of " Murray Hill" a handsome i country scat, the residence of Robert Murray, a Quaker merchant of much emi nence, in New York. It was a beautiful country mansion, surrounded with gardens and fruit trees, and just far enough from the city, as it existed at that day, to be delightful, rural, and undisturbed from the encroachments of unasked city visitors. It was toward the hour of two, on a mild afternoon in September, seventy-five years gone by, that a lady in the garb of a Qua keress stood upon the portico of this dwell ing, looking anxiously into the road which passed about a hundred yards in front Her countenance was mild, but then ex pressed great anxiety and not without reason, for ever and anon was heard the loud peal of the cannon, and the rattling fire of musketry, as if men were engaged without slackening his speed, towards the commanding a general halt of ten minutes for tbe refreshment of the troops, followed : by Sir Henry Clinton, Gen. Knyphausen, commander of the Hessians, Lord Percy, Generals Leslie and Grant, and his staff, and there dismounting, followed Mrs. Murray into the mansion. Refreshments of good wine and cold meats were placed before them in rich profusion, of which the officers partook freely and tradition says that Sir Henry Clinton, who was a great V vicanf, re marked to his superior officer in an under tone, " that if the cellars of the mansion coutaineJ any large quantity of such Ma deira, he should like te be billetted there for the campaign." In tho mean time, Mrs. Murray had directed Cato, the black servant, privately to go to the top of the mansion, and tbe instant he saw a large body of nion pass a certain point on the Illooiuingdalc road, to give her the first informrtion by signal. I may as well remark that from the hill the road could not be perceived, but from the cupola of tho dwelling it was very easily seen. Nearer an hour than the ten minutes Sir Wm. Howe gave orders for the halt of his troops had passed away, yet still before the mansion he lingered with his officers. Mrs. Murray had entertained them not only with refreshments, bnt conversation. The younger portion of the officers bad entered the orchards and amused them selves with gathering tho fruit with which the trees were bending, ripened under the sun of an early autumn, and thus the time had slipped away unawares.

Through more than a Septuagint of summers has each recurring Fourth of July found us in the enjoyment of the rich legacy of broad meadows and golden harvest fields whilom baptized in the blood of our Revolutionary fathers.
