long abandoned domestic service for the factory,

the present t system it is a grave question where,
when Irish emigration ceases, the servants of the

INSTANCE OF CONSUMPTIVE CONTAMON.
It was our fortune to attend a man slowly dy

helplessly ill, was devotedly cared for by his wife,
who - at the time felt berself, and: seemed to bo, in
perfect healtb.l
Tease after. her husbandisi death, and when she
was bravely battling against the disease, which
commtnced ita insidious attacks immediately
subsequeet to hi s ,deatb, she related 3o me the
following[facf, : but only,,on my '4lefinite inquiries
as to how intimate her •relationii--had been with
him during his illness.,lt seems that often; in
wintry nights, that faitful woman would arise
from the side of her husband, . who was lying
with his drese drenched with the chilling sweat of
increasing disease, and would persuade him to
take her warm clothing and to lie down in the dry'
oviiiiii - :place she had.: just: left, While, simply,
ilriewing a blanket over it, she would take the
Spot that had been previously occupied by him!
Upon, our expressing &horror at the thought of
the danger:she lad run, and which apparently
had told with so ;finch :power upon her, she
quietly remarked that big* , at the time the she•was incurring. She' had nn thought
of danger loberself, and only' of her husband's
comfort! -' "Sat,",-added she ; !,‘I thEn got what I
have never recovered from." A certain vitality
nettled to go out of 'her; rknd though her nature ,
contended tor many ,years against the encroach=
menta of - tbe disease, she finally died, always be
lieving that, she had taken consumption from
her husband, but With a' certain martyr-like joy
that such had'really' been the fact.

Though there is no thoughtful man in America
Who would not consider a war with England the
greatest of calamities, yet the feeling towards her
here is very, far from cordial, whatever ouriMin

Lord, this means war," perfectly represented his
country. Justly or. not we have a feeling that
we have been wronged, not merely insulted. The
only sure way of bringing about a healthy rela

to clear their minds of the notion that we
are always to be treated as a kind of inferior and
deported Englishman whose nature they per
fectly understand, and whose back they accord

would a German or a Frenchman, and not as if

were shot by their enemies, who left them'in

Year correspondent haifit very , good time
of it among the Lebanon Mountains. He has
seen a little of the world, but he-knows no
spot On earth' where better or more varied
sport can be bad than from the Lake of Gen
nesaret sad the sources of the Jordan across
the :country :to , 'Beirut. No . finer fishing
could be desired anywhere than is to he found
on-the lake mentioned, and the fish areall of
excellent quality. The writer will venture
to say further there is no lake in New Bruns
wick, with more pictruesque surroundings
than this lone sea of Galilee. To the north is
the marsh of the Huleh, and a better hunt
ing ground there is not in the Old World or
the new. Water fowl, crows, rooks, hawks,
jackdaws, ducks, foxes, jackals et hoe genus
omne are the mere commonplace of sport.
The thoroughgoing sportsman finds foemen
more worthy of his lead in wild bears, wolves,
panthers,leopards,huffaloes—while the"swift
gazelle," seen like a flash, makes him look
sharp even in those days of breech-loaders.
Your correspondent, accompanied by the
Major O'Callaghan,_C. 8., of her Majesty's
Indian army; stole under - cover to within a
hundred and fifty yards of a herd of buffaloes.
Besides revOTvera for; close quarters we had
each a couple of double-barreled guns loaded,
and the writer had in addition a Snider
Enfield presented to him by Mr. Jo
seph Robinson, the British Consul at Jericho.
The gallant Major.. gave the word of
command "Priaint, Foire," and several stag
gering volleys were poured in with the de
termination of men determined' to do dr die-
When the smoke of battle cleared away the
buffaloes in total ropt were seen tearing
away in a northerly direction, leaving those
of their companions killed or severely wound
ed on the field. Your correspondent also
shot through the right wing and, captured a
pelican of the wilderness, a mild, melancholy
Jooking bird, which, on account of its com
parative rarity, a gentleman from Richi
bucto, whom we afterwards met at Beiiut,
expressed a desire to take with him to „New
Brunswick, as a curiosity. Striking across
the country, towards Blat, your correspon
dent and the Major shot about 100 eagles, lin
a few hours, some of which were very large.

Man, aasexnally contradistinguished i from'
?roman, expresses the descent of the creative
ove to created foim,and all then accordingly
ne so many reflected or'derivative forms
n his degree, of this divine desceat of degra
lation. But the creative 'die dela - lids "to'
:waited , manifestation, only that the creative
may,in its turn,he elevated to fellowship with
he Infinite; and woman,as contradistingaished
'mom man; etiiresgettithia aseeric of the hiltiiiir"
to the divine In a word, man consti
tutes that downward movement of the crea
tive proVidence which results in what we call
the world of nature; and woman constitutes
that upward or return movement of the enter
/ye providence which issues in what we call
history Or the church.
Thus I hold that woman symbolizes only
what is private, peered, divine in our experi
ence, whilit man symbolizes : what is public,
secular or merely butnan. -To tell the'e-whole
story in a word, It - conceive that woman
symbolizes the social and tentietle destiny of
humaa - society in contridistfactiOn to its
physical and begbitringa. " Mati,as con
tradistingtdalted from woman, symbotizeo,
these latter Instincts—Symbolizes the civic
cOnseimumess ofmankind; but I ampreptred
to maintain ;that. woman represehta in the
moat vivid manner,- and in measure at once
the moat ample and etact, that social and
testhetic evelution of, oar nature which even
now, undet our very eyes, is effacing every
maxim or our old ,eivie righteousness, and
pulverizing out - ,. - of _eight every landmark of
our old political and ecclesiastical conscious
ness. 1
Woman has always been ' identified with
the home' ife of the world; and home means
c l is
peace, cans freedom, means heaven to the
distracte human heart; while man's activity
has rele ted him to the outlying world, which
means ntlict, means elievery, means , hell to
all our dhinest instincts. 'Home has been the
sole citadel hitherto of true society or fellow
ship on the earth, where all persons—plain
and distinguished, strong and weak, wise and
simple, good and evil, just and unjust—dwell
together under the same unquestioning Provi
dence, and Praptically ignore for the time the
unhappy and unhandsome divisiona bred of
the necessities a of Church and State. And if
home has always been home mainly, by the
sanctifying presence of woman, we may say
without any hesitation that she is the guardian
angel of - our associated destiny, and will ere
long vindicate tOthe vulgar observation her
title to that supremacy.
Mr. James expounded these theories in six
different forms with that affluente of' illustra-.:
tion and vigor, of language which distinguish
every effort of his genius.
Coming to the practical application of them,
he said of •
W0.312\ IN Y TRUCLIFE
•If I do not greatly misinterpret history,
women are destined henceforth to be a lead
ing and to longer a servile force in human
affairs. But then that issue will - take place
only by their becoming more and more femi
nine and' less and less masculine. If =women
were themselves as sagacious as - men' are to
discern their inbred and overflowing divinity
of nature, they Would do their best to enhance
lather than 'obscure every evidence of that
merely Intellectual inequality of weirs with
imen which, while it ensures main's priority in.
mere worldly, material or professienal re
sPecls, leaves woman herself sacred 'with the
halo of every distinctively spiritual or personal,
I
charm.
Men's professional activity has been of im
mense servioe, doubtless, tu ; the - progress of '
civilization; but the legitimate prestige thus
attaching , to it is now fast deserting' it. Citi—
zenship, to the illustration of which all our
professional activity is di,tected, and which
means the regime of outward Iftw or force in •
elutnart affairs is a, low PonoePtion human
destiny, when measured against society , or •
fellowship, which means .the rO,gime i
of in
ward freeddn3, 'or attraction. And if this is
sd, and no thoughtful person will say me nay,
'how untimely an 'inspiration it would be on
`the part of women to ; ullet in the professionEit
I think it an excessively shabby thing on the.
part of men 'to kepi) 'up any of the statutory
diaabilities that continue to stigmatize wo
men's free:activity or, debar men froin any
civic, any political or any, professional fran 7
hise they may choose' te covet. -
This pusillanimity on men s part grows, to
some extent;' out of the essentially low con
ception of human destiny which has, hitherto
prevailed upon the earth, and which ,has., left
men blind to the divine side of onr nature,
but to a great extent out of the instinctive
dread men fee of women becoming like them
selves. Men know to, the marrow of their
bones, how consistent the greatest civic po
litical, or profeSsional eminence is with lbe
*lost arrant meanness and poltroonery in all

WOMEN AS 'VOTERS.
If they have been womanly in the past,
they will be vastly more so in the fuNre,
when their emancipation from the tyranny of,
man will leave their instincts free to assert
themselves. I have no fear that women, save
very small squads, will ever 'flock to the

I helpers With the& in that career: ":„!
I say naturally enough, for women feel
themselves instinctively to be born helpers of
men; and so long, therefore, as men; will not
allow themselves to be helped out of their
imbecility, Wohie6 - encidgh; will be-found to
help them in it. Eve would never have
listened to the tempter' 'lot with a view 'to
brighten up her poor dear , ‘' `old Adam;' and'
the folly of her daughters invariably betrays
a like affectionate, inspiration. Mrs. Jefferson
Jones would be the very, last person to exceed
her own sphere and invade , her husband's
parchments or pulpit or stump appointments,
did not Mr. Jefferson do'his job in a notori
ously imbecile and hopeless manner. Women
are providentially destined. it is true, to help
men. But, what celestial help would it yield
human life to swell the ranks of our decay
ing professions?' `What is .gradually under
mining the professionsis the fact of their be
ing all vitalized:by a sheer despair bf human
nature. The clergyman believes in.\ the> ex
istence of hopelessiyAliscordant relations , be
tween man and God. ' ibe lawyer in the exist
ence of hopelessly discordant relations be
tween man and his fellow; the physician in
the existence of hopelessly vicious relations
between man and his own body, or nature.
What help, then, could woman bring to the
professions? •
WOMAN'S LEGITIMATE "MISSION."
For all her legitimate activity proceeds
upon, and hence irresistibly invites,harmonic
relations between man and God, man and
nature, man and man. Authority, routine,
outward law of whatever. sort, which is the
life of the professions, is not and cannot be
the inspiration of woman, but at. the risk of
dealing all that 'is womanly about her. At
all events good mother Eve was aired by no
such incubos, .and no true daughter of Eve
would ever hesitate between the inspirations
of her inward affection and the obligations of
outward prudence, unless she were fairly
crushed, as now, out of all' distinctive char
acter by the dead weight of her own particular
Adam. I. have small doubt; accordingly,that
if we men should once manfully resolve to
effect that famous North - west, passage from
the Straits of Alonkeydom into the broad,clear.
ads of manhood, which is the deathless aspi
ration of the race, woman would instantly
shed the parson, the attorney and thepoliti
clan as the tree sheds its withered leaves; to
become a truer woman end prouder wife than-r.
she had ever been before, and be acknew
hedged at last the mother of; an incorruptible
manhood. - • J: R..:..
The valuations Astionoulteat clock.
, This clock is in, the Strasburg Cathedral. ,
It was built in the Cathedral, before its com
pletion, in the year 1439, and was invented
by hue Habreeht, a Jewish astrologer.
European clocks were first invented in - the
eleventh century, by the Saracens, and used'
principally for monasteries. They were very
rude,- simple affairs, and sometimes would I
!;,‘go" when somebody pushed a
the pe,
dulum, which was rather inconvenient than
otherwige. So, wise mathematicians tried to `1
make improvements, and some succeeded, "'
among whom 'was Isaac. Habre,cht, who in
the fourteenth century, invented the. most j
wonderful clock in the world, and., called
the Clock of the Three Sages," ~because j
once in every . hour the- figures of the Three
Kings of Orient came out 'from niche'
in its side, and made t'a reverential'.' tt
'
bow_ before an image ; of ~ the :Virgin'
Mary, seated just above the dial-plate, on the
front of the clock. It is built of dark wood,'
gilded and id si x ty feet high:, Ti:(
shape it is `somewhat similar' to a church,witb.
a tower on "either' side - of the entrance; and
these towers of the clock are encircled by
splral;staircases, which arftuee,dwheirrepPAP9.

Vented this wonderful Clock, he meant it:to.
sun forever, always displaying' to the good
people of Strasburg the days of the month,'
pikes of the sun and meon, and other odes
tini,phenoMena and mbile he lived it worked
admirably; but when, he had been dead
awhile, the clock stopped, and' as nobody else
underStood'its mtiehinery; it' ad quite a va-'
cation, After awhile, howeiref, the people'of
StrasbUrg# took-it in hand,. and itwas repaired
and , set going—only to stop again4 u i
Thus it went on until , Nap9lpou:l3,
