Within a hundred years woman has become a reader, and for that reason, as much or more than anything else, literature has sprung to a higher level. No nee.d now to expurgate all you read. Woman, too,, is now an author; and I undertake to say, that the literature of the next century will he rieher than the classic epochs, for that cause. Truth is one, ere, absolute; but opinion is truth filtered through the moods, the blood, the disposition of the specta tor. • Man has looked at creation and given us his impression, in Greek literature, and in English, one-sided, half-way, all awry. Woman now takes her stand to give her views of God’s works, and her own creation; and exactly in as woman, though equal, is eternally dtfrerent frotn man, just in that proportion will the next century be doubly rich because we shallhaye both sides. You might as well plant yourself in the desert; under the changeless gray and blue, and assert that you have seen all the wonders of God’s pencil, as maintain that a Male Literature, Latin, Greek; or Asiatic, can be anything but a half-part, poor and one-sided; as well develop only muscle, phut-' ting out sunshine and color, and starving the flesh from your angular limbs, and then advise man to scorn Titian’s flesh and the Apollo, since you have exhausted manly beauty, as think to Stic all the depths of music with only half the chords.. The diapason of human thought' was never struck, till Christian culture summoned woman into the republic of letters; and experience's? well as na ture tells us, “ What God hath; joined,let no man put '■■■ -y ' WEALTHY MARRIAGES.- At the ordination of -independents, it is custo mary for the ordaining minister,'after the confes sion of faith, and a prajer for" the Divine blessing and influence .to attend- the anion that has been publicly recognized between the pastor and the church, to address to each of the parties a charge, containing snitable instructions, cautions, admoni tions, and encouragements with regard to their respective duties. No person was more calculated than Mr. Jay to perform strictly, and without fa vor or affeetion, fchis part of his avocation. He had obseHedrh growing evil amongst his brethren, ' with the cause of which he. was well acquainted, and he therefore to- rebuke and de nounce it. When in the midst of an ordination sermon, he thus addressed, some candidates for admission into the church of Christ as Independent ministers:,:” .My young brethren, it is deeply to be regretted that many young men, after having been educated for the church, which has thus a claim on their services, no sooner enter the mi nistry than they begin to look, about them for a wife, taking care, however, that she be possessed of a fortune) if successful in their search, after a time they begin to grow weary in well-doing. They, bike .cold; - it resdlts in a hough, or the spit ting of blood; they are so weak that they cannot attend to the duties of their office. They resign, and live upon their wife’s fortune. I know five cases of this hind; may it never be your lot !” During the delivery of this keen rebuke there was a young minister, or rather; an ex-minister, who did not seem very comfortable.- After the service was closed, the merits of the discourse were canvassed; and the general opinion was, that it Was such a one as could be delivered only by Mr. Jay. “How did you like Mr. Jay?” said one of the bearers to the ex-pastor; “it was fine, quite a treat, wasn’t it?” “Well, I liked him very well,” replied the ex-pastor; ‘‘ but I think he was rather personal.” “Personal, eh! how so?” “Why, you must have'noticed his reference to ministers out of health resigning.” “Yes, yes, he was a little close there, I must admit.”' “I shall speak to him about it,” said the delicate, fastidious ex-minister, who, time to his word, sought the vestry, and found Mr. Jay there. He congratu lated him on his health and discourse, but hinted that he was rather personal in his remarks, and would like to know if he referred to him. —“Per- fhatparL of the discourse r “ WheS you w A a about miuistei-ft resigning,” replied the ex-pastor? “O,” said Me Jay, “I see you have resigned.” “Yes, sir." “Did you marry a rich wife?” “Yes, sir.” “Did/ypu have a cough, and become dis abled for seriiee?” “Yes, sir." “Ah, my friend," said Mr. JRy, “yours is the sixth case, then/,’ This young man, having reaped the reward of his folly, retped confused and abashed. • f Recollections of Rev. William Jay. / TEE WEST INDIAN LADIES. 3»thing about them is more astonishing than thfaress of the women. It is impossible to deny tqlihejn considerable taste atid-great power of adaptation. In England, among our housemaids Mi even haymakers, crinoline, false flowers, long waists, and.flowing sleeves have become common* put they do not wear their, finery as though" they rwere at. tome in it. There is generally with them ' when in their Sunday best, something of the hog in armor. With the negro woman there is no thing of. this. In the first place, she is never shamefaced. Then she has very frequently a good figure, and having it she knows how to make the best of it. She has a natural skill in dress, and will be seen with a boddice fitted to her as though it had been made and laced in Paris, Tbeir cos tumes on fete days and Sundays are perfectly .marvellous. They are by no means contented with colored calicoes; but shine in muslin and light silks at Heaven only knows how much a yard. They wear their dresses of an enormous fulness. One tnay see of a Sunday evening three ladies oc cupying a whole street by the breadth of their garments, who on the preceding day were sorub bing pots and carrying weights about the town on their heads: And they will walk in full-dress, too, as though they had been used to go in such attire from their youth up. :They rejoice most in white—in white muslin with colored sashes; in light brown boots, pink gloves, parasois, and broad brimmed straw hats with deep veils and glittering bugles. Tlie hat and. the veil, however, are. mis takes. If the negro woman thoroughly understood effect she would wear no head dress but the colored handkerchief which is hers by right of national custom. Some of their efforts after dignity of cos tume are ineffably ludicrous. One Sunday eve ning, far awayio the country, as T was riding with * .mtitte' wound us, I saw; a young. womaf; walking home from church. She was arrayed from head to foot in virgin white. Her gloves were on, and her parasol was up. Her hat also was white, and so .was the lace, and so were the bugles which adorned it. She walked with a stately dignity that was worthy of such a costume, and worthy, also" of higher grandeur; for behind her walked an attendant nymph carrying the beauty's prayer-book—bn her head J - - - ' ' THE BLESSEDNESS OF: TEAES. Sickness has come, and the time for watching, and weariness, and prayer. The child who had lived long enough to be thejnusic and light of your dwelling, twining itselFroun.d your living self, and associated;with every.hope and happiness of your life, is now in fearful peril. Its hot and hectic.cheek lies against .your own, "asTyou pace the room in the dead of . the night, bearing it to and fro in its suffering and patience. In' those hgurs of suspense and paiDythe seed is drpppin" fast for a future harvesting—if your child should live, in love, and tenderness, and sympathy ; should it die, a bosom full of memories and great thoughts ! too great for words, clustering abput lhis one be-j lief, that, should, you act aright, you will meet in heaven a bright spirit who will call you father. 1 see in your dwelling a little coffin, and within it a form exquisitely moulded, the ringlets parted on Us. white and rounded fprehead ; an unopened bud lies on its bosom, and were it not for that ntarwe coldness, you might take it for a sleeping angel. And there you stand, the tears ruining down your cheeks, as the rain drops drip from the boughs after a shower. Tell us, now, docs the I thought ever occur to you, to wish, that the child bad never been given to you? Would you pur* chase exemption front all this grief at the price of forgetfulness ? Would youT, if you could, overstep all this anguish, and be again as you were before ft? that child had an existence? Never. That brief scene of suppressed sorrow is more fruitful in ail things whieh belong to a- soul-harvest than a score of years passed in cold and polished prosperity; and from that small grave you will reap many a sheaf of blended memories, and hopes, and gentle affections every year, till you are yourself laid by its side. The good are better made by ill) As odors crushed are sweeter still. It is said that one of the most distinguished senators of our country, who was bereaved of a little child, months afterward, when his eye rested on a small worsted shoe —recalling, as few things can more vividly, the bright things which had fled—put it into his bosom, where, as was known, he carried it long next to his large and manly heart. The heart had’a calmer pulse, a gentle, sympathy, a richer sensibility, a truer greatness, because of contact with that small memorial of a domestic sorrow. ONR OF THE WONDERS OE THE DEEP. AN, ICSBEEG FROM EIGHT TO TEN MILES LONG,- OFF CAPE HORN. In a conversation with Gapt. Kirby, of the-ship Uncowah, which arrived at this port on the 22d instant, from New York, be yesterday gave a de scription, o£ the great floating ice-island, which he passed on kfie /9th of ;5O mites, to the southward-of Gape Horn*.' Gapt. Kirby and bis officers and crew all agreed in pronouncing this the largest iceberg they had ever seen, and what is more remarkable, it is very rarclythfat these wonders, of the deep ever show themselves so late as August. It argues a terrific Antartic winter, which, indeed, .was abundantly illustrated in the severe hail and, snow storms experienced by all the ships which have recently arrived from the Atlantic ports. The great berg was seen first by the second officer, from the deck, about noon of the 9th August. It was then a mere glittering nummnek on the horizon ahead. Gapt. Kirby, at first, could not believe that it was ice, and think ing he might have been drifted to the northward during the several days in which he had not been able to get an observation, setrit down as an island covered with snow. The wind was from the eastward, and the ship going at the rate of eight knots, she soon brought the whole'body, above the horizon, and not long after the ice was found to stretch along the whole ahead and on the weather bow. The course of the ship was .then altered, so as to bring the ice on the lee bow, and gradually, as the bearings al tered, five icebergs of various sizes were made out. The ship passed within a few miles to the wind ward of them. One wsm very lofty, about the size of Angel Island, which Captain Kirby-thinks it resembled somewhatin shape, but .was much higher.: Others stood as though detached masses of the great berg. This monster is estimated to have been from eight to fen miles long, and very high —a solid mass of ice, against which the sea broke, as upon the iron-bound shores of a continent. At four miles distant, the water about the ship was agitated with, eddies and ripples caused- by the op posing presence of so large a body to the usual ocean'currents. -The sides along which the ship passed, appeared to be precipitous up for more than ,a hundred feet from the water, when they broke up towards the peaks in the interior of the island; and. d.owh the steeps, the spy-glass showed the existence of great gullies and Water courses. When the sun shone full upon the island, it reflected the light With great brilliancy. The island being of such- size, it, seemed to be nearly stationary, but roust :have‘ been drifting slowly with the current, which there sets to, the N. N. E. ; Some .of the smaller bergs assumed a light blue appearance. No dirt, trees, or vegetable matter could be seen upon any. of of the'island. "Itrwag aihajesfie spectacle, which those who witnessed it will hot forget. The one described by Dana, : in his “ Two Years Before the Mast,”'fps much smaller than this. It was late , in the afternoon when the Uncowah arrived. About six o’clock, a large English packet ship, under a cloud, of canvass, hove’' in sight, steering to the eastward, and astern and to.leeward of her, a barque. . Captain Kirby displayed his signals, reading *‘iae ahead”—which the ship acknow ledged, by immediately hauling up to the north ward towards Cape Horn, and the barque, though too far distant to read the signals, took the alarm and followed suit. The ice was directly in the track of vessels bound to the eastward. The ves sels were steering full upon it, and would have reached it (but for this warning) after dark, when, probably, both would have foundered, . The ship appeared to be a large 1 Melbourne packet/and had many people on deck. The name made but from her signals, was Uhilopohtas. This immense ice berg was, doubtless; detached from the vast masses in the Atlantic OceaD, and was set to the north ward and eastward by the currents. ' , .

Joseph Burnett & Co.:—lt is twelve months since I received the first bottle of yo valuable medicine for the cure of the Asthma. lam now satisfied that my relief from one_of the most aggravating, most distressing, and most unrelenting dis orders that ever afflicted a human being, is to be attri buted wholly to this Remedy. For thirteen years I suf fered with the asthma, and it grew upon me in severity, until in 1853 and 18541 was obliged, for months together, to sleep in my chair; and the least active exercise would bring on a paroxysm, oftentimes so severe, that I could not move an .inch for hours. From the time I took the first dose of your “ Remedy, to the present hour, I have not had a bad attach, and now my system is so free from it, that the most active exercise and exposure seldom has any other effect than to slightly restrict the lungs. Your medicine , soon dis pels that sensation, and I can safely claim a general rev lease from the tormentor. - With great respect, your obedient servant, ——J. H. BRAGDON. [Extract from a letter'written by a distinguished Law yer, injyiameJ_ . ASTHMA. Messrs. Joseph Burnett & Co.: —Gentlemen —I tried more than thirty, different specifics for the Asthma, until I had become worn down by disease, and almost dis couraged. When I commenced taking your medicine, I had been afflicted with the disease about twenty years. It is of the spasmodic kind; and in ,a bad attack I have frequently sat up sixteen nights, in succession. Soon after taking your medicine, I found an unaccustomed re lief. My health and strength began;to improve. I have gained about twenty pounds in weight, and have, com paratively, ho Asthma. When. 1 feel the. symptoms re turning, a few teaspoonfuls of the medicine is sufficient to remove it. : ;It seems to v me that the very foundatiouof my disease has been broken up, and that it will soon entirely leave me. At any rate, no one that has suffered what I have, heretofore, and enjoyed the health that I have enjoyed since last fell, can hesitate to believe-ftat there is a wonderful power in Jonas Whitcomb’sßemedy for the Asthma. . Respectfully yours, H. R. VOSE. [Letter from a Clergyman.] ASTHMA.. ■ Wardsboro’, Yt., May 12,1857. . Messrs. Joseph Burnett & Co,:—l take pleasure in stating the wonderful effects of “ Whitcombs Remedy for the Asthma,” on my wife. As, often as ten or twelve times in a year, she. was-brought to the very -gates, of death, requiring two or three: watchers, some-; times for several days and nights in succession. At one time she was so far gone that her physician could not count her pulse. I consulted numerous, physicians of the highest celebrity, to little or no purpose.. At length I heard of “ Whitcomb’s Remedy;” it acted like a charm; it enabled her to sleep-quietly in a few minutes, and nearly broke up the disease. lam a Methodist clergy man, stationed here. I shall be happy, to answer any in quiries respecting her case. Yours truly, • KIMBALL HADLEY. South Weymouth, Mass., Jan. 28, 1859. , Messrs. Joseph Burnett & Co.:—l saw your notice of Jonas Whilcomb’s Asthma Remedy, in the Boston Pilot, and I.wish to tell yon of its effect upon me. I have been troubled very much for about five years, many nights losing my sleep. Sometimes X could not move, and bad to sit in one position for hours. I began taking your medicine last September. I have not had a bad attack—have not lost an hour’s sleep, nor an hour’s work, since.. lam a shoemaker by trade, and live in South Weymouth. Your obedient servant, MICHAEL KEARNEY.
