MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1869. Rambling Thoughts of a Literary Lounger. KCH3ER OSB, [For The Press ] WOMAN’S TRUE MISSION. In this ago of practical go-a-hoadativeness, I am afraid we are losing sight of woman's true mission here on earth. The Christian system first introduced to tho world a true, noble, find elevated regard for woman. The sensual form of Venus typified to the Pagan world its idea of the gentler sex; hat art ohastened and purifiod by Christianity pointed to the sweet virgin dwelling amid the moan tains of Judea as its highest typo of female loveli-. ness. And who that has ever contrasted the two types, the one in Florence, and the other in Dres den, but has folt tho essential difference? .Turning from the effort of the Grecian soalptor’s skill, tho, lover of art now finds himself entranced, enraptured before tho Madonna San Sisto of Raphael, with her faoo full of deep spiritual meaning, and a love liness that, in its celestial radlanoe, seems reflect ed from that of some worshipping seraph round “ Tho Great White Throne.” Never did I gaze upon that miracle of art in the gallery of Dres den, the sor&phio faoo of the Virgin Mother, and that glorious ohUd nestling in her firms, with the glow of heaven’s own sunshine on its.brow, and “ the peace that paeseth all understanding ” look ing out from its dove-like eyes, Wtl felt ready to exolfiim with Bernard Barton— ' “ I may hot change the simple faith la which from childhood I was bred, Nor could I without scorn or scathe . The liviflgseok among the dead; But yet, M*4oona! when I gaze On charms un'earthly such as thine, ' .Or glances yet more reverent raise Up to that Infant so divine, I marvel not that many a shrine t Hath been, ana still is, reared to thee \ Where mingled feelings do pomblqa To bow the heqd rad bend the knee. And is there not something sweetly touching in this adoration paid to tho Virgin Mother by the devout Roman Catholic 1. Does it not appeal to the heart ? and when we dwell upon the perfect loveliness of the obaraoter of the mother of our Lord—a loveliness not “of the earth, earthy; V but nngelio in all its developments and attrlbutes-oan wo wonder that the devout Christian who loves tho Lord “who give himself for him,should feel a holv offection for,.and repder the tribute of honor to her whom “all generations” were to .oall blessed! • - - In tho great and* powerfal movemont, the Cru sades, that inspired , tho . whole Christian world with a new life, rousing the nations of Europe fromthesleep of the dark ages, and with a voice like the Arohangel’s trumpet, 1 calling up the.lout en ergies of mankind from grave where they haa ropqaed for oenturies, who shall say how far that revereneo for woman, then so beautifully made manifest, .originated in that religious sen timent, which invested, the Virgin Mother with so many types of loveliness an<Tpurity? We do not remember where we have learned or read the following beautiful tribute to the Virgin, but wo oonld not fail to note it hefe —at* least the sentiment conveyod, if not the language : dhat while woman first plucked the fruit of the forbid den tree, whose tasto “ Bronaht death Into oar world. With all its woe, rad loss of it should be remembered it was a woman, too, a virgin of innocence and beauty, who was the moth er of Him who brought salvation to the race. L*t not woman, then, be reproached with this her first fault, unless wo at the same timo recall the sweet lace of the Virgin Mother. Plaoe thetwopioturcs side by sido. Compare Eve, “with wandering step and slow! 1 quitting Paradise, and looking back.with str&iuiing eyes to that happy retreat— and Mary lifting her meek and-glowing face to he&von, and exclaiming: “ From henceforth gll geborations shall oall me blessed.”' „ .Womans true missiop,-ip-this iron age of stern reality, is fast being lostsightpf. There may be hope for oar country when tho firesides of our land are Ihbltfired and guarded by. tho presiding genius of geptio.and. yefined woman.. Thero is nothing— there can be nothing but. woe, whenever the io ‘oial firos' are extinguished by the oold and gorgon, breath of suoh unsoxed anomalies .ns this strange age-hath-produced. God-savous, if our Lares; and Penates, our dearest household gods, are to be i shattered and desecrated .by their profane • doc- ; -trines—unsexed anomalies 1 who worship the ( fell! spirit that, like Minerva, hut without her wisdom,: hits sprung from* the fiddled pate of this new Jupl- j ter; to whom altars Art erected,- ’fcnd wbrahlp'baid, ! nnder;ihfi woman’s fWoman’s rights; -fwoothf - irtSyr‘Sfr'katr© Eraotloe, would tako from her those rights whioh ave bolonged to her from her first appear&noe in Eden, and would substitute such privileges as would nusejf.her, rob her of that adoration from the stronger sex which is her dae, and make hor 1 an amorphous monster, wrangling at the bar, mingling in the dusty strife of the arena, walk-' ing hospitals, commanding armies or men of-war, ‘ cfco. Not so did Milton understand tho be&utifnl re lations that should ever exist between the sexes, when describing the first created, as they walked in Paradise, he so beautifully says i “ For In their looks divine The Image of their glorious Maker shone— Truth, wudum, sauotitude, severe and pure, (Severe, but in true wislom placed,) Whence true authority in men: though both Not (qual, as their sex not equal seemed. For contemplation he and valor formed; For soilness she and sweet attractive grace : He fur God only; she for God In him. His fair large front and eye sublime declare Absolute rale: and hyaoiathine locks Round from his parted forelock manly hung Clustering, but not beneath biß shoulders broad. She, a« a volt down to the slender waist, Hor ucadorced golden tresses wore Dishevelled, but in wanton ringlets waved, As the vino curls her tondrils, which implied Subjection, hut to be used with gentle sway, And by hor yielded, by him boat received ” Hare, then, wo havo the true relation of the floxes; and all tho preachings ef Lucy Stone, Er nestine L. Rose, or tho honeyed phrases of the au thor of tho Fotiphar Papers, cannot ohange iti The simple reason is that it is the natural rela tion, the one established by the Creator; and he or she who fights against it will bo found to fight against God. And tbo old divines understood the proper rela tion betwoon tho sexes. As one of them lias well said: “ Tho woman was made of a rib out of tbd side of Adam— not out of his head, to top him ; not out of his feet, to bo trampled -upon by him ; but out of his side, to be a support to him ; under kut arm , to be protected by him , and near his heart, to be most tenderly beloved or, to use tho quaintor language of a divine who flourished in the middto of the sixtoonth century: “ God so ordered the rnattor botwoon the man and tho woman that this adhesion and agglutination the one to tho other should be perpetual, for by taking a bone from the man, who was somowhat mon trous by a bono too much, to strengthen the woman, putting flesh instead thereof to mollify the man, he made a most sweet complexion and temper betwixt them, like harmony in mußic, for thoir amiable cohabitation? It will be noted, too; that the bono which God took from man was out of tho midst of him, as Ohrist wrought salvatiod out of the midst of the earth. Tho spooies of the bone, my brethren, is also noteworthy. It is exprest to be a rib—a bono of tho side, not of the head; for woman should not bo domiiux, a ruler ; nor was it of any anterior part, bcoause she is not puslata , preferred befero the man; nor a bone of tho foot,- as she is not serßa , a slave or a drudge ; but mark it, my brethren, aborts of the side, to show cloarly that she is socia, the companion of tho man, for are they not to walk sido by side in sweet companionship? And I may add, it toas a bone from under the arm, to put the man in re membrance of protection and defence of the wo man.” To conclude finally, (and this finally should sink deep into tho heart of every old bach elor, spring up and bear abundant fruit.) “ Wherever a man, my brethren, takoth a woman to wife—and every man, if he is a man, will do it—lot him remember the maim, the wound that was made in his own sido in tho garden of Eden, and endeavor instantly to repair ft with & sound, healthy, and delectable rib.” Surely these old divines understood the propor relations between tho sexes, hotter than our mo dern reformers: woman as the companion to man—the helpmeet for him—the gentlo friend to troad life’s rugged path by his side—finding her happiness in lovo, in quiet, in home activity* and In the porformanoe of those nobler duties of hu manity whioh belong to a true woman, as natu rally as light belongs to the pearl, purity to the lily, or perfume to the modest arbutus that hidos its blushes beneath the soft moss of tho lonely wood. Snroly, suoh a mission rb this is nobler, and far more to be desired, than that of any hec toring legislator of them all. Wo know that woman’s sphere has enlarged latoly—materially amplified sfnoe the introduo* tion of orinolino; but to this we would not inter- Eese an objection—that kind of-enlargement has eoomo an institution, and as Punch has well said: u ThePrew, the Pulpit, and the Stage havo all been in the habit of cor.aideriug themselves mighty levers, capablo of being used with terrible effect on tho masses of society. All threo have tried their utmost to this plant of foreign growth—this orinolino out of tho soil, but havo not so much as budged agsingla root of it.” Yes, all three havo run full tilt against ex panded woman—and yet, dear stoical creature, thoro she sits, and if sho wills it, like Jove, “will forovor sit,” in the midst of her balloons, laughing and sneering at these fruitless efforts. I. there fore, havo not tho boldness to deolaim against her here. The right to dress as sho plonses is her right, and as she has more taste than wo rough oreatures can have, she is* as far as I am concern ed, free to indulge it. But, dear woman, as you valuo your domestio peace, os you value ours, as you regard the fitness of things spread yourselves, if you please, in all tho zephyr-like gracefulness of the hooped skirts, if they do orowd us not a little everywhere; but don’t tako to wearing the panta- ICoub, and oorae down from the olovated position you now occupy in ovory sonsiblo man’s estima tion. Don’t attempt to crowd nature too, and push rude, unsentimental man from the hard stool that was made for him to occupy in tho groat school-house of life. Sport the Balmoral skirt,' if you please, with glows as warm and -sunny as that whioh plays round your tonder, loving hearts, but don’t make tbo face? of fathers, husbands, and brothers blush scarlet rft tho fontastio trioks an unsexed woman—, a Bloomerized harlequin—can play in this high* noon of the nineteenth oentury; who discards woman’s true mission by unsexttg herself, and throwing off that modest -reserve, without whioh shoooases to be what the God of Nature intended pheehould.
