suo‘ceded In evading by a little clover macdrarrlsg.;
The conversitlon with her quiet llttlo friend Jennie, as
the old horse leisurely jogs along upon the forbidden;
excursion, is a perfect iae-Blmlle of girlish talk. The
twinges of conscience sadly interfere with her antici
pated pleasure, and she returns home to meet her
father’s reproving words and oloudy brow. For a time
ibe hardens her heart, and obstinately refuses to con
fess her fault; but she grows very miserable under he*,
mother’o tearful glance and her father’s distant oold-;
ntss. And at last, after severe struggles with thepow-j
erful instingjof self-will, she in softened, humbled. sub*

> This long heart struggle marks an epoch in her life*
and hencefotth a change is perceptible, which gradually
moulds her wayward coaracterlnto one of fixed prlncl-;:

subjected to soie trials in her resolute adherence to
the right, but she learns to accept them as a whole-'

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

fromthesleep of the dark ages, and with a voice like
the Arohangel’s trumpet, 1 calling up the.lout en

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

virgin of innocence and beauty, who was the moth

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

back.with str&iuiing eyes to that happy retreat—
and Mary lifting her meek and-glowing face to

„ .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

there can be nothing but. woe, whenever the io

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- ;

ave bolonged to her from her first appear&noe in

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.

“ nor do wo intend that you' shall ever plant

The whole point of tho question was° this:
every question relating to Central America, Mex
ico, or to any part of Amorioa, iB an American
question, in which tho European-Powers have no
right to be consulted. [Cheers.] When all Eu
rope was assombled in a war against Russia, a few
•years ago, the United States was not represented
in her councils—her voice was not heard—her ad
vico not asked, for the reason that America was
too far off to have a sufficient interest in the East
ern question. I trust' that when the question of
Caha, or Mexico, or Central Amerioa snail arise,
Europe will he too far off to have sufficient interest
to he consulted.' [Lond oheers ]
These weak and feeble Powers adjoining ns in
Amorioa aro onr natural allies, and yet are n&tu
rally dependent upon us for protection. We have
greater interests in them than any foreign Power. '
We have an interest that they shall have -a firm
and stable Government. Our polioy should look to i
our destiny, and be in harmony with what is to :
ceme in the future. Ido not say that we ought at
ono blow to aoquire a vast amount of new territo
ry ; on the contrary, let us proceed slowly, gradu
ally, Bteadiiy, Americanizing first, and annexing ,
afterwards. [Cheers.] And lot bur foreign poli
oy be consistent with our fature duties. Hence,
noverinako a treaty with Franoe, with- England,
! with any foreign Power, tying our hands in the
j future, m opposition to what our interests and safe
ty may require. [Applause.) x
| For entertaining and firmly maintaining this'
; doctrine, I had thd misfortune to be degraded
j from the Committee on Foreign Relations in 1851,
and was then degraded because my opinions wore
in opposition to tho voice of the Sonate on the
Clayton andßulwor treaty. \ :t That won’t hurt
you.”] I have lived to see tho day whon that
Senate, and this country, and tho Amerioan poo
ple ,l thiuk that I did right thou by following
duty. [Loud applause ] All that a public man,
huAo do is to follow his principles, wherever their
lojJßal consequences may carry him. These
prmoiplos of domestic policy, of State rights; of
popular sovereignty, I shall fully maintain, fight
ing all who fight them, and supporting all who sup
port them. [Cheers j And in regard to foreign
polioy, my views will be governed by the same
principles of publio action.
But, my friends, I havo detained you too long in
tho disonssion of political questions. [“ No, no!”
“ Go on!”] I only appeared upon this balcony to
aoknowlodgo the compliment, ond to return to you
my thanks for the testimonial you have furnished
of an approval o‘‘ thoso groat principles to which
my life is devoted. I prefer that it should be de
voted to principle rather than the personal affec
tion that prompts these marks of your kindness.
Now, my friends, in conclusion, permit me again
to renovr my grateful thanks and to bid you a go.d
night. | Loud and oontinued applause.]
Txie Corsican Brothers.— '<l once,” says
M Trousseau, “ had two brothers for clients, who
were twins, very rich, and both directors de mat
sons de jeux celebres. They were so like each
other that I did not know thorn apart. But. more
than this, they had a remarkable’ pathological si
militude. Thus, one of them whem I saw at Nos
tbermes, suffering from a rheumatic opthalmia,
said to me, “ iny brother at this moment must
have an opthalmia like mine.” And m I dissent
ed to this, ho two days afterwards showed me a
letter from his brother, who wrote: “Ihave my
opthalmia, thou must also have thino.” However
singular this may appear, it is perfectly true; I
have witnessed similar, faots .These twins wore
also both frightfully asthmatio.”—Am. Druggist's
Circular.
A Courageous 'Woman.— Mrs. Holson, who
lives about six miles from Covington, near Banford
Town, Ohio, discovered, about threo o’clock on last
Friday morning, some follows robblog her hen

whioh they drove off towards town. She at once
donnod her oloihes and bonnet, and set out after
them. The road is in a muddy condition, and the
hour was a dark one, but she pressed oh and kept
suoh good timo that she was enabled to get on tho
Soott-street ferry boat, on which the thieves wero,
and to give them the alarm and havo them arrest

Something New.— A few nights ago, Dr.
Cole, of Boston, was called upon by a stranger to
visit a sick person ip a part of the .oity some dis
tanco from his office. Tho dootor went on his mis

return. He was shown- into thto.offioe, whore ho
speedily removed- from a desk securities and.
moneys of (he value of $2,700, with whioh te.
made off. A man named Tuoker had been identi
