The Lecture system, though more of a jnihlic character than it used to be, is no new thing. The newest partis the fact that lecturers are now paid for their ef forts, whereas Mrs. Caudle, the inventor of the system, always lectures free, with an occasional "personal hit" thrown in. Perhaps, too, that to this same Mrs. Caa dle belongs the honor of introducing the theory of woman's right, of which we hear so much in these latter days. She always stood up very determinedly to con tend for her own rights, and there is no doubt but she intended to be a represen tative woman. I know she is not usually received as such, because she never put in her claim, but as she always contend ed for her points whenever she feared those points were in danger, hurrying things sometimes with a bound of alacrity only equaled by a double spring jack knife. But I believe in woman's rights, she had a right to hurry, if she didn't hurry anybody else unreasonably by run ning against them. To my mind the woman's rights ques tion was settled long ago. "If she will she will, you may depend upon it, If she won't, she M-on't, and there's an end on't." There is truth in that peotry, and a good deal of it. Paul says, "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient." Thi3 comprehends my views of women's rights. If voting, politics would elevate her, I would say let her vote ; let her dabble in politics ; run for constable or Governor, and let her get up high generally. If she is going to remain the pur, tender, weaker one, so natural ly inclined to lean to the man for pretcc tion, succor, comfort, let her go out from the nursery, the kitchen, the drawing room, to jostle with the crowd around the polls, and then let her come back to her deserted home and feel guilty and asham ed. Not confidence enough in man to do this outdoor work ! You don't deserve a ! man. Politics contaminate. You are no stronger to resist evil than man, and he has been totally overcome, transferred in to a rascal before he knew it. You can be bad enough without voting, if that is your inclination. If you are ambitious to make your mark, there are several oth er ways in which you can make marks that would be more to your advantage and the great family to which you being. You were not made to wear trousers, though we accede the right to wear coats, and there is no use crying after the per quisites. We men must be allowed a few things in common or we will be un sexed, not you. Now we are looking to your very best and highest interest but were we tenderly to acquiesce to the de mands of some of your selfstyled leaders we would soon all be in the shade of the kitchen and drawing room, and oh, how funny in the nursery telling mother goose stories, and such infantile literature, whilst you would be outside battling with the cold world, where there was none ready to jump up and given you a soft seat, no strong coat sleeve to bear yon through dangerous places, no heavy boots to beat a path for you. Oh, you would find this a colder world than you ever dreamed of. You are having very good times now. Thiuk a little before you would throw these to the winds, for you may reap a wirlwind that will uproot all your hopes and upset things generally. Outside of tho family there is no more appropriate place for woman than with the children in the schools. The paren tal feeliDg, the gentle voice, the moral in clinations, all are especially adopted to the training of youth. Whilst as a teach er woman is particularly in her place there are a hundred other spheres of use fulness open to her whenever she chooses to take hold of them. That she is the weaker sex, at least in physique, every body must admit. That she often as umes weakness for purpose or strategy is also patent, but she always expects the bet things. We have used her so well that we have ourselves made her quite selfish. We gave the finger, with our heart, and now she wants the whole hand, head, and body. We must protest. We want to be indulgent, as we always have been ; we want to please her ; we will eat most auy kind of an apple that she may hand to us, but this very suspicious look ing fruit we must decline. Wc decline not so much for our own good as for the good of posterity. We remember Adam and would not commit a like indiscretion whereby the fingers of all posterity would be pointed at us with reproach. Finally, ladies, desist, Mr. Whackhammer is against you, yet he is for you with all his heart, lie don't want to live without your sympathy, for this is one of the com mondities he lives on. Forbear, you will only create an "onpleasantncss," whilst there can be no secession. Desist, give it up, forbear and let harmony prevail. JCHACOD Y HACKHAMMER. Jersey Border, Jan. 2-. A party of hunters, near Lewtstown, Pa., were chased the other day by eight or ten wolves, one of which was killed that measured six feet from the nose to tho tip of tho tail ; and ou the 17th ultimo a party of hunters in Indiana county, Pa., found a panther, which they at ouce des patched.

It teaches a man to set his house in or der, and how to make a will ; it appoints a dowry for his wife, and entails the right of the first born, and shows how the young! branches shall be left. It defends the right of all, and reveals vengeance to every defaulter, over-rcach-er and trespasser. It is the first book, the best book.

It contains the best laws and most pro found mysteries that were ever penned; and it brinps the very best of comforts to the inquiring and disconsolate. It exhibits life and immortality from time everlasting, and shows the way to glory. It is a brief recital of all that is to come. It settles all matters in debate ; resolves all doubts ; and eases the mind and con science of all their scruples. It reveals the only and true God, and shows the way to Him, and sets aside all other gods, and describes the vanity of them, and all that trust in such ; in short, it is a book of laws to show right and wrong ; of wisdom that condemns all folly and make3 the foolish wise ; a book of truth that detects all lie, and confronts all errors ; and it is a book of life, that shows the way from everlasting death. It contains the most ancient antiqui ties and strange events, wonderful occur rences, heroic deeds and unparallelled wars. It describes the celestial, terrestrial and infernal worlds, and the origin of the angelic myriads, the human tribes and the develish legions. It will instruct the accomplished me chanic and most profound critic. It teaches the best rhetorician, and ex ercises every power to the most skillful arithmetician, puzzles the wisest anato mist, and exercises the wisest critic. It is the best couvenant that ever was agreed sealed on : the best deed that ever was the best evidence that ever was produced ; the best that will ever be sign ed. To understand it, is to be wise indeed, to be ignorant of it is to be destitute of true wisdom. It is the king's best copy, the magis trates best rule, the housekeeper's best guide, the servant's best directory, and the young man's best companion ; it is the school-boy's spelling-book, and the great and learned man's masterpiece. It contains a choice grammar for a novice, and a profound mystery for a sage. It is the ignorant man's dictionary, and the wise man's directory. It affords knowledge of witty inven tions for the humorous, and dark sayings for the grave, and is its own interpreter It encourages the wise, the warrior, and the swift it overcomes ; it promises an eternal reward to the excellent, the conqueror, the winner aud the prevalent. And that which crowns all, is that the auther is without partiality and without hypocrisy : "In whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning." To RemovktiieTasteof New Wood.

Three United States Soldiers Have Their Heads Shaved, Bodies Tattooed, and are Drummed Out oi Service. From the Memphis Fast, Jan. 20. On Wednesday of this week three pri vates of the force garrisoned here, named respectively Myron II. Strong Harmoa Springsteen and Stephen Madden, all be- longing to Company C. Twenty-fifth In- fantry, were tried by a general court-mar tial upon the charge of desertion, and beiag convicted were sentenced to have their heads shaven, their left hips tattooed" with the letter D (signifying deserter), and to be dishonorably discharged from the United States service. The sentence- was executed yesterday. In the morning face.

During the Revolution, and for some years subsequent, the "red, red gold" of the ancient ballad, cr Guinea Gold, was the style of aureate in vogue in the Uni ted States, the hue of the metal being somewhat reddish and the supply coming; from the Guinea coast, whereby the word guinea came in use for a coin. From 1801 to 1829 North Carolin furnished, all the old of the republic, amounting, according to the mint returns, to $110, 000. In 1829 South Carolina sent in her first installment, $3500, to the mint; and in the next year Virginia and Georgia swelled the tide, the former State send ing in 850,000 and the latter 5113,000.. In 1S38 Alabama began to send small' quantities; branch mints were established at Charlotte, North Carolina, and Dahl onega, in Georgia, and with this gold establishment, so to speak, we worked a long till March, 1818, when gold deposits were discovered in California of such richness that before January, 1850, there were taken out $10,000,000, increased during the following year to $90,000,000. From 184S to 1S35 the total product of California haa been estimated iu official quarters at $900,000,000 ! Before such a. total it is useless to speak of any other yields, though once wc were glad enough to painfully extract a few grains here and there. The California gold has quite a brassy appearauco, and does not make up as handsomely into jewelry as the old red gold, now hardly ever to be seen save la, heir-looms. Inquistive.
