CHOICE POKTRY.
The Old Man mill lic CUIl1i-f u.
Spring was bnsT in the woodlands,
tTiial'!!i up from ponk to peak,
As an old inun sat and brooded,
IV ith a flush upon his cheek.
Many years pressed bnrd upon him,
And his living friends were few,
And from out the sonil.ro future,
Troubles drificd into view.
There Is something moves one strangely
lu old ruins (rrcy with years;
Yet there's sinethinjr far more touching
In an old faoo wet with tears.
And he sat there, sally si 'riling
O'er his feebleness and wron-p.
Thoueh the birds uut.;ik- his window
i Talked 1 of Hummer in their wmt. .
But. behold, n chnTtjfe comes o'er him !
"Vhere ore all hi sorrows now ?
Could they leave hi hoart a (intck'y
As the gloom clouds left hu bfovrl
Vp to tho (rrccn slope of bis garden,
l'lflthe dial, ho saw run
Three yams iirls, with bright eyes shining,
Liho their brown hf nils, in the sun !
Thero was Fanny, fumed for widom :
And fair Alice, filmed fur pride;
And one that emild say, "Uncle,"
And said little else beside.
And that vision startled memories,
That soon hid all secre? of strife,
Sending floods uf hallowed sunshine
Through the rugged nuts of life.
Then they took him from his study,
ThroiiL-h long lanes and tangled bowers,
Out into the shaded valleys,
Kiehly tinted o'er with flowers.
And ho blesssil their merry VuiccJ,
h'inxinir round Mm ns ho went,
For the cieht i't their wild lii'lncssj
Filled his own hettrt with content.
And, lint! tiihl. titcre came nl .ut him
Far-ctfineBiiiiTf jdetured fair.
And old wouile in which h" wondered,
Ito he knew the name of cart :
An t ho said : "TUcsc angel face?
Take the v. likened fi. I-. one's litdr !"

tiio.-e fair ,'innie. In mora than one instance
has thi! invincible legion?, of Rome ungal
lantly turned their bucks to the lii.stiic
wooing of the fair ones of Switzerland.
Horace and Lucan also accuse their country
men of a like breach of good manners to
wards the win-like wives of the ancient Un
ions, whose queeii, according to the testi
mony of Tacitus, led tluiranui's to battle.
Indeed, the e ineut of history disproves the
rally rec- i , ed opinion that women arc
rtatur.".'.'y fearful und unpatriotic. Among
c;..i!;ss "itwtttticrs which ittigllt be cited to
p.ovc that women me as i.ipabk of high
und heroic feeling as men, mcy be mention
ed that of the Lacedaemonian mother wheu
she presented hereon with his shield, cr.
joyd liini t.) return ivith it or v.poi. it ; and
that of the, Indian v.ottien of iho Korlh
Am'.: :enn tribes, who. when informed of tho
death of their husbands in warfare, inqiiir. d
how they died !' whether bravely lighting
the foe. or the less honorable! death of mor
tality. Hut warrior women are not the anoniulii-s
only of ancient limes ; they appear, also in
modern history. Tl.e time and maimers,
of chivalry, by bringing the great enti-rpii-mjHi
and adventurous heroism into fashion
and repute inspired the female rex with a
i-.iM'.i'.ar taste. Women were then seen iu
the niid.-t of c;.u.;:s and armici and partici
pating in all their dangers and dUasters,
and hardships and privations. During the
rcu-:nlc, also, animated, by the conjoint en
thusiasm of religion aud valor, wo.ucn often
performed the mtut romantic und chivalrous
exploits, and joyously died, with arms iu
their hands, by the side ot their lovcri cr
husbands.
In Larope there hns been instances of
delicate and gentle-hearted women attack
ing and defending fortifications, command
ing art. iies, and obtaining victories. Such
among other ittuiices, wire the heroic
Jonn of Are, 'the Maid of Orleans,' the cel
ebrated Joan of Monlbrt, and the celebrated
Margaret of Anjou. Iu Knghunl the instan
ces of female powerless and military exploit
have belli conspicuous. Uondieea, or, as
the heroic and illustrious (pieen of tin- leettt
is otherwise, called Txmdtl resisted the le
gions of Rome in the fiercest and mit deadly
conflicts in whieli that great empire was
ever cngit'.'ed. KtheH'rcda, the oldest daugh
ter of Alfred the Great, commanded armies,
gained victories, mid performed other war
like exploits. Kngliliid owed its dclivcrauce
from ihe tyrannic, yoke of the J)nne-t, of
Judith, the stepmother of Alfred. The ski!!

of love and romance that female patriotism
and courage have shone, the most resplen
dent in the recent warfare.
During tho Spanish war of Independence
in the l'cninBul.i, at the sieges of Suragor.a,
Oeronu, Valencia aud Tortosa, the female
Inhabitants of those cities enrolled them
selves into companies, headed and command
ed by ladies of rank for tho purpose of at
tending tho wounded and aiding and ani
mating their countrymen in their cilorts
against the enemy. In tho performance- of
those duties, the delicalo and fragile fair
ones of Saragossa were seen inccrauniiy aud
fearlessly exposing themselves to imminent
danger from the tremendous firo of idiot aud
shell. Sonio took a more active purt, and
fought side by side with their husbands,
brothers ond fathers. The name of one of
tlioso heroines ncriuircd imperishable re
row n.
Augnstino Saragossn, handsome yonng
woman of humble birth, coming no tho
third day of the siege with provisions to
the battery that had suffered most terribly
from the enemy's fire, found every utau be
longing to it killed, l-'or a moment every
one hesitated to rescue the guns. Angus
lino, undaunted, sprung over tho dead and
living, and snatching a match from the hand
of a dead artilleryman, fired off a twenty
pounder; and then jumping upon the gun,
made solemn vow never quit it alive du
ring the sieue. Her courage struck shame
ii.lo the hearts of the men who had shrunk
from taking the place of the slain ; her gen
erous cutl'.u.siasm animated with fresh
courage all who beheld it. Tho battery
was instantly manned, and the f.ro being
renewed wilh increased vigor, the French
were repulsed tit till points witli great
loss.
Neither was this an isolated deed of hc
roim of that brave girl, who is ennonied
in the annals of history by the appellation
of 'Hie mnid of Saragossa.' Visiting a bat
tery iu which her husband held tho com
mand, and observing tho artillerymen so
discouraged by his fall that the battery was
on the point of falling into the hands of the
enemy, flic addressed the troops in anima
ted tones, nnd by her inspiring eloquence so
rubied them that they not only repulsed the
eticiny, but in a successful sortio beat them
from the walls. In t'uo course of the glori
ous struggle by her country for national
honor and independence, slic was rewarded
as a testimony of Iter country's approbation
of her patriotic devotion, w ith a field officer's
commission.
Tho countess Uurita at Saragassa, and
Dons Lucia Johanna do Fitzerttldt, Dona
Maria Mariengola Vivern. and Dona Maria,
Centi, of the divisions of St. aVorcis, Ut. Do
lby, and 8t. I'lalia, at tlerona have occurred
an enduring celebrity in the execution of
their communis, and tho display of their
heroic patriotism in their efforts to frustrate
tho designs of tho foe of their country, to
spoil it of its honor tiutl niitionalitr. Also
during that glorious struggle for Indepen
dence women were frequently seen in tho
rtuiks of the guerrilla bauds, lighting among
the foremost.

luflurncr oCNciiMtble Woman.
It is n wondrous advanlaga to a man In
every pursuit or avocation to secure an ad
viser, in n sensible woman. In women there
is at once a subtle delicacy of ta"t, nnd a
plain soundness of judgment., which are
rarely combined to an equal degree iu man.
A woman, if she really be your friend, will
have sensative regard for your character,
honor, and reputation. She will selihnfi
counsel vou to do n shabby thing, for a wo
man friend alwavs desires to be proud of
ynu. At the same timelier constitutional
timidity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She. therefore, seldom coun
sels you to do an imprudent thing. By fe
male friendships, I mean pur friendships
ihe in which there is no admixture of the
passion of love, except in tho married state.
A man's bet friend, is a wife of good heart,
w horn he loves, nnd who loves him if he
have that, lie need not seek elsewhere. But
supposing the man to be without such a
helpmate, fema'o friendship he must still
have or his intellect w ill have ninny nn un
heeded gap even in the strongest fence.
Better and safer, of course, buch friendships
where disparities of years or circumstances
put the Idea of love out of tho question.
Middle life has rarely this advantage J youth
and ' Id ago have. We may have female
friendships with those much older tlitiu our
selves. Molecrc's old house-keeper was a
grout help to his genius ; and Montaigne's
philosophy taker, both a gentler nnd loftier
character of wisdom from the date in which
he finds, in Marie do Gouruey, nn adopted
daughter, "certainly lielovcd by me," S'tys
the Horace of essayists, "wilh more than
paternal love, nnd involved in my solitude
and retirement, as one of tho best parts of
being," Female friendship, indeed, is to a
man ''irotiMiuM tt dtlut thau" bulwark,
sweteuer, ornament of his existence. To his
!..entnl culture it is invaluable ; without it
nil his knowledge of books will never give
him know ledge of the world. HvUur.

JiVrhniu'ii M,t,iycr, published nt Chnmbcr

friend in China, in which it is stated a great
discovery is lvportpd to lnvc been recently
nindo by a Surgeon of the Lnglish army ia
(Miina. in the el'afl r t'Vet.ual ctiio for thotcr
riblt! nnd hiHthsomc disease of small pox.
I he mode of treatment jo ns fullows: "When
the preceding fever is tit its height and just
before the eruption appears, the chest is
rubbed with proton oil and tartaric ointment
This causes the whole of Ihi eruption to np
pcur on that part of the body, to tho relief
6f r.11 tho rest. It nl -o bcciucs a full and
complete- eruption, nnd thus prevents tho
disease from attacking the internal organs.
This is said lo be now the established modo
of treatment in the English Army iu China
by general orders nnd is regarded 'ns a perfect
success. As this disease now prevails in
different parts of our country, it wor.ld ha
well for our physicians to ptit this remedy
to practical test, nnd if found as successful
here, as it is said td bo in the F.nglish Army
in China, it will certainly prove a great
blessing to tho community in general.

Haiv-W.vitk CtsiT.uNa.- As toe season
is now approaching when those heretofore,
without cisterns may bo contemplating thd
construction of these very valuable reservoirs
of soft water, wo would adviso thct.i to con
sider whether it is not better to make their
cisterns ahre (;r-in't. It can be .'one in
this way: Make a heavy trestle work to sup
port a siout frame of the dimensions desired,
say sufficient to contain two thousand gul
lolis board tliio lip tightly, line with sheet
lead in the best manner tho top or roof
covered with tin, leaving an opening or
hatchway in top to admit a man to change
it once a year. The outside of the trestlo
work can be boarded up with planed boards
nnd painted. Tho cistern can be made in
any shape desired. If well constructed it
will never leak. V.'c have one built in 1817,
which hits not thus far cost us a dollar for
repairs. If sttllieieally elevated, portions
of the holism can be supplied w ith water by
pipes. At any rate we hnvo to turn only a
cock to get tho water, instead of pumping
it up with much labor from a cistern under
ground.
The first cost of this kind of cistern may
bo greater than those dug iu the ground,
but it w ill lie seen, they are handier nnd
better, nnd with a little enre in winter there
is no danger of frceaiug. fjeriaantoten Tele-
