The duty and dignity of a mother requires that she should never sub ordinate herself to her children.— When sht does so, she does it to their manifest injury and her own.— Of course, if illness or action de mands unusual care, she does well to grow thin and pale in bestowing un usual care. But when a mother in the ordinary routine of life grows thin and pale, giv*s t.p riding, read ing, and the amusements and occupa tions of life, there is 4 wrong some where, and her children shall reap the fruit of if The father and moth er are the head of the family, the most comely and the most honora ble part. They can not benefit their children by descending from their heaven appointed places, and becom ing perpetual and exclusive feet and hands. They are smothered in their own sweetness. They dash into do mesticity with an impetus and abandonment that annihilates them selves. They sink into their fami lies like a light in a poisonous well, and are extinguished. One hears much complaint of the direction and character of female ed ucation. It is dolefully affirmed that young ladies learn how to sing op eras, but not how to keep house— that they can conjugate Greek verbs, but can not make bread—that they are good for pretty toying, but not for homely using. Doubtless there is foundation for this malaria, or it, never would have been inada. But I have been in the East, and the West, and the North and the South ; 1 know that I have seen the best so ciety, and I am sure I have seen very bad, if not the worst ; and I never met a woman whose superior educa tion, whose piano, whose pencil, whose German, or French, or any school accomplishment, or even whose novels, clashed with tier do mestic duties. I have read of them in books ; .1 did hear of one once; but 1 never met one— not one. I have seen women, through love el gossip, through indolence, through sheer famine of mental pabulum, leave undone thiug,s that ought to be done—rush to the assembly, the lee twe-room, the serving -circle, or veg etate in squalid, shabby, unwhole some homes ; but I never saw; educa tion run to ruin. So s,eems to me that we are needlessly alarmed in that direction = MU But I have seen scores and scores of women leave schools, leave their piano and drawing and fancy work, and all manner of pretty and pleas ant things, Atui marry and bury themselves, You hear of them about six times in ten years, and there is a baby each time. They craw/ out of the farther end of the ten years, sal low and wrinkled and lan k—teeth gone, hair gone, roses gone, plump ness gone—freshness, and vivacity, and sparkle, everything that is dewy, and springing, and spontaneous, gone, gone, gone forever. Few things are more painful look upon than the self renunciation, the self abnegation of mothers—pain ful for its testimony and its prophe cy. Its testimony is of over-care, over-work, over-weariness, the abuse of capacities that were bestowed for most sacred uses, an utter waste of most pure and life-giving waters Its prophecy is of early decline and decadence, forfeiture of position and power, and worst. perhaps, of all, ir reparable loss a,nd grievous wrong to the children for whom all is sacri ficed. To maintain her rank, no exertion is too great, no means too sm4ll. Dress is one' of the most obvious things to a child If the mother wears cheap or shabby or ill assorted clothes, while the children's are fine and harmonious, ii. is impossible that they should not receive the impres sion that they are of more conse quence than their mother. Therefore, for bcr children's sake, if not her own, the mother should always be well dressed. Her baby, so far as it is concerned in the matter, instead of being an excuse for a faded bonnet, should be an inducement for a fresh one. It is not a question of riches or poverty ; it is a thing of relations. It i 8 simply that the mother's dress —her morning and evening and street dress—should be quite as good as, and if there is any difference, better than her child's. It is of no manner of consequence how a child is clad, provided only its health be not injured, its taste corrtipted, or its self respect wounded. Children look prettier in the cheapest and simplest material than in the richest and most elaborate. But bow com mon is it to see the children gaily comparisoned in silk and feather and flounces, while the mother is ei veloped in an atmosphere of cottr fadiness ! One would take +he eh to be mistress and the mother a vant. ‘43tit," the mother says, "I do not care for dress, and Caroline does.

Under the 15th March, 1735, the Gentleman's Magazine records—"Sohn Parry, Esq., of Carmarthenshire, (married) to a daughter of Walter Lloyd, Esq., member fer that coun ty; a fortune of £8,000." It seems to us indecorous thus to trumpet forth a little domestic particular, of no importance to any but tf.e per sons concerned; but it was s regu lar custom in the reign of George H., and even considerably later.— There is scarcely a single number of the magazine here quoted, which does not include several such an nouncements, sometimes accompan ied by other curious particulars.— For example, in 1731, we have— " Married, Rev. Mr.. Roger Waina, of York, about twenty-six years of age, to a Lincolnshire lady, upwards of eighty, with whom he is to have £B,OOO in money, £3OO per annum, and a coach-and-four during life on ly." What. would now be matter of gossip in the locality of the mar riage was then deemed proper in formation for the whole community. Thus, in March, 173.5, the "Gentle man's Magazine" gives this au nounce—"The Earl of Antrim, of Ireland, to Miss Betty Pennefeather, a celebrated beauty ani toast of that kingdom!' It is to be feared that Miss Betty Pennefealher was with out fortune; otherwise it would have been sure to be stated, or at least al luded to. Toward the end the century, such announcements were given with less glaring precision. Thus in the Ga zette of January 5, 1789, we find, "Sunday se'nnight„at St. Aulkman's Church, Shrewsbury, A. Holbe,che, Esq., of Slowley Hill, near Coleshill, in this county, to MI'S. Ashby, of Shrewsbury, a very agreeable lady, with a good fortuqe." On the 2d of January, 1792--Yesterday. at St. Martin's Church, William Lucas, Esq., of Holey well, in Northampton shire, to Miss Legge, only daughter of the late Mr. Francis Legge., build er of this town; an agreeable young lady, with a handsome fortune." And on the 29th of October, 1798—" A few , days ago, at St. Martin's Church, in this town, Mr. William Barnsley, of the Soho, to Miss Sarah Jorden, of Birmingham aeath ; an agreeable young lady, with a genteel' fortune." In other cases, where possibly the bride was penniless, tier personal qualifications alone were mentioned ; as this, in April, 1783—['Married] on Saturday last, Mr. George Donis thorpe, to the tygreeable Mrs. Mary Bowker, both of this town." One of the latest notices of the kind occurs in Aris's Birmingham Ga ;die, of July 14, 1800; being that of the .o..ight Hon. Mr, Canning, Under Secretary of State, to Miss Scott, sister to the Marchioness of 'Pitch- round-work for a Novel. A wedding took place in Genera Rosecrans' army between a soldier wounded in the battle of Stone river and a young lady from New Eng-' land, who nursed him while he lay in hospital. The ceremony was per formed on the exact spot where the soldier was struck down by a rebbl bullet. A TOUCHING SCENE. I was conversing not long since with a returned volunteer. "I was in the hospital as nurse for a long time," said he, "and assisted o in taking off limbs and dressing all I sorts of wounds; but the hardest thing I ever did was to take my thumb off a man's leg." "Ahl" said I ; "how was that ?" Then he told me : "It was a young man who had a severe wound in the thigh. The ball passed completely through and amputation was necessary. The limb was cut up close to the body, the arteries taken up, and he seemed to be doing well. Subsequently one of the small arteries sloughed off.— An incision was made and it was again taken up. "It is well it was not the main artery," said the sur geon as he performed the operation ; "he might have bled to death before it could have been taken up." But Charley got on finally, and was a fa vorite with us all. I was passing through the ward one night, about midnight, when suddenly 1 was passing Charley's bed he spoke to me : my leg is bleeding again." 1 threw back the bed clothes, and the blood spirt ed in the air. The main artery had sloughed off. Fortunately I knew just what to do, and in an instant I. had pressed my thumb on the place and stopped the bleeding. It was so close to the body thal - , there was barely room for my thumb, but I succeeded in keep ing it there and arousing one of the convalescents, sent him for the Sur geon, who come in on a run. "I am so thankful . --," said he as he saw me, "that you were up and knew what to do, for he must have bled to death before I could have got here." But on examination of the case he looked exceedingly serious, and sent for other SUrgeons. All came who were within reach, and a con sultation-was held over the poor fel low. One conclusion was reached by all. There was no place to work save the spot where my thumb was placed ; they could not work under my thumb, and if I moved it he would bleed to death before the arte ry could be taken un.. There was no way to save his life. Poor Charley ! He was very calm when they told him, and be requested that his brother, who was in the same hospital, might be called up.— Ile tame and sat down by the bed siie and for three hours I stood, and by the pressure of my thumb kept up the life of Charley, while the brothers had their last conversation on earth. It was a strange place for me to be in, to feel that I held the life of a fellow mortal in my hands, as it were, arid stranger yet, to feel that an act of mine must cause that life to depart. Loving the poor fel low as I did, it was a hard thought ; but there was no alternative. The last words were spoken.— Charley had arranged all his busi ness affairs, and sent tender messa ges to absent ones, who little dreamed 'lolli , near their loved one stood to grave. The tears filled my eyes ore than once as I listened to those rting words. All were sad and, turned to me, "Now, ll—, less you had better take off your .umb." "0, Charley ! how can I?' Lid I. "But it must be, you know," e replied cheerfully. "I thank you - ory much for your kin dress, and ow, good bye." He turned away his head, I raised thumb, once more the life cur nt gushed forth, and in three min es poor Charley was dead." P Willed Humanity. A. correspondent, of the Melbourne gus writes : I have lately discovered, in a stony )ek fifteen miles from Castlemaine, bodies of three aboriginals, ite whole, and not wanting in the attest details, but which arr petri ' into solid marble.

I The Cavalry Raid of Col. Grierson in Mississippi. Their March and Safe Arrival at Baton Iktv. NEW ORLEANS, Saturday evening, May 19.—Since• theldeparture of the Columbia we have abundance of news ; the most exciting however, is the arrival at Baton Rouge of the Sixth and Seventh Illinois Cavalry, nine hundred strong, who have cut their way through the whole length of Mississippi. They started from La Grange, Tennessee, on the morn ing of the 17th ult., and reached Ba ton Rouge on the evening of the 2d of May, performing the whole distance in sixteen days_ They made a zig zag course through the State, some times striking East, sometimes West, but pushing South the whole time.— In this way they traveled probably eight hundred miles, averaging over forty miles a day. The force consisted of the Sixth Illinois Cavalry, Lieut. Col. L)omis : the seventh Illinois Cavalry, Col. Ed. Prince • the Second lowa Cav alry, Cu!. latch ; and six pieces of artilery, 2 pound calibre; the whole under command of Col. Grierson, of the Sixth Illinois Cavalry, and num bering about seventeen hundred men. From La Grange they marehed nearly due South, halting at night five miles North of Ripley, in Mar shal cou )ty. Next morning the col umn moved to Ripley, whence the Second lowa started for New Albany. At Clear Springs, in Chickasaw coun ty, Col. Hatch. with his command, started southeasterly to West Point, in Lowndes county, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. After that Col. Grierson heard nothing of the Sec ond lowa, except occasional rumors through the rebels. They then moved on Fontotoe, where they destroyed some salt, the camp and garrison equipage of a cavalry company, and also a gun smith's shop. A mail from the Post Office was secured; and also a large quantity of oats. On the morning of the 29th about 175 of the men who were the least effective, with some prisoners under command of ,Major Love, were sent back to La Grange. A few mil's beyond Starkville, a tannery con taining a number of . army boots, shoes. saddles, bridles, and a large quantity of leather, was destroyed. The value is estimated at $25,000. A march of twenty-six miles brought the forces to Louisville, Winston county. Most of the route lay through a dense swamp, frequently to the horses' bellies in water. At one point it was so deep the horses swam over, and some got drowned, with a narrow escape of their riders. They then pushed on to Philadelphia, Neshoba county, where there is a bridge over Pearl river, which the rebels undertook to destroy, but they precipiattely fled as our forces approached. Later in the day a brigade under Col. Blackburn and Major Graham, was sent to strike the railroad at Decatur, Newton county. liere they captured a train of thirteen cars which was just about starting, load ed with quartermasters' and com missary stores, including ammunition and bomb shells in large quantities. They bad scarcely secured this train and got it on the side track, when another train of twenty five cars loaded with railroad ties, came into the depot, which was also secured. Wood was piled up around the en gines and tenders, set fire to, and ky that means the boilers burst, and the torch Ix as applied to the train of cars containing the ammunition and about 3.000 shells. When these were fired the main column was four or five miles off and the noise of their ex plosion led them to suppose the reb els had opened on the advance col umn. Major Starr moved his battal lion east, uud destroyed three bridges and a lot of trestle work extending over two miles, the track torn up, rails broken and burned, and tele graph destroyed for five miles Near Gallatin, 1,400 pounds of pow der, two wagons, twenty-six yoke of oxen, and a thirty-two-pound Par rott gun were captured. The gun was spiked. At Union Church, forty-two miles from Natchez and twenty from Port Gibson, a skirmish o?,curred with Adams' Alabama Cavalry, in which several of the enemy were wounded, the rest retreating to Port Gibson. At BrookhaVen Camp of Instruc tion, four companies, under command of Major Starr, took two captains, one lieutenant, one surgeon, and nineteen private prisoners. They also captured a lot of Mississippi ri fles, mules, ox teams, $5,000 worth of commissary stores, and $'•6,000 vortti of army clothing. At the crossing of Pearl river, Col, Prince captured a courier with in structions to destroy all bridges, &c., which fortunate circumstances add ed somewhat to the safety of the command. At Hazeillurat, Col Prince, of the 7th Illinois, captured a train of about 40. cars, several of which were loaded with shell and ammunition. Allah er train, which bad just arrived, es caped by the backing out of the train by the engineer before he could be captured. About four miles east of Gallatin a battalion was detached to strike the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, at Bahala station, where water tanks. cars, and other property was de stroyed. • At Walls' station, on the Tickfaw, a regiment of rebel cavalry was dis covered, who were routed, with sev eral killed and wounded. Our loss was one killed and five wounded ; among them was Lieutenant Colo nel Blackburn, of the 7th Illinois. He was shot in the thigh, and slight ly in the head. He was left. with several of the wounded, at a house, with the injunction that, if not kind ly treated, when our boys returned they would take their revenge. At Summit a large amount of Gov ernment sugar, wood and locomo tives, &e., were destroyed. The camp of _Hughes' and Milburn's Par tisan Rangers, on Big Sandy creek, was attacked and destroyed, • and a large number of horses captured ; from here they moved on the Green ville Spring road toward Baton Rouge About nine miles from Ba ton Rouge the entire command of Stuart's cavalry, fourteen officers and eighty men, were captured. The men made very little resistance, re treating to the river, where they were surrounded. It is almost imposible to give you anything like a perfect sketch of the sixteen days' trarch of tliis band of heroes. How they managed to en dure and bold out the fatigues of so lung and perilous a march_ through the enemy's country—living as they best could—sleeping but an hour or two at the time, is one of the most remarkable events inthe history of human warfare. In comparison, the .deeds of Stuart, Jackson, and other Confederate cavalry, dwindle into the most contemptible affairs—not worth speaking of. At one place a number of old grey headed men came out to resist the cavalry with shot-guns, and fired several shots—not a shot was fired in return ; they were surrounded, disarmed, and their weapons de stroyed. This very much astonished them ; they had been led to believe they would be killed, their homes destroyed, and every imaginable cru elty perpetrated upon them. But when they found that the men of the North were only fighting against ef ficient rebels, they seemed to wake up from a delusion, They then wil lingly gave our men what assistance they could, and one of them under- . took to act as a sruide The amount of damage done to the rebels it is difficult to estimate —not a bridge or railroad, not a line of telegraph anywhere along the whole route but what was destroyed. Horses, when necessary, were pressed to replace the worn out ones. Only a small stock of provisions was brought along, so that they had to live on the enemy, and tolerably hard fare they had too. Large num bers of men offered themselves to be paroled, as a means of avoiding the •conscription of the rebel officers. Hun•lreds of negroes joined them as they came along, bringing, all one, some two horses or mules. The suc cess of the expedition could be shown in no more palpable manner than the health of the men. When they reached Baton Rouge, after a 16 days' ride with only one whole night's rest. and badly supplied with food, only twelve men turned over to the sur geon. Many of the men suffered from swelling of the legs and erysip elas, from sitting so long in the sad dle, but it was only temporary. They had a very clever way of cutting the telegraph wires so as to avoid discovery. Instead of cutting the wires and let the ends hang loose ly, they tie up the ends with strips of leather, so that it would. not he easily seen. and yet the connection was severed. Par into the interior they were mistaken for rebel cavalry, and com plimented upon the fineness of their outfit. On more than one occasion they profited by this ignorance. To show you what courage and daring will accomplish, I may men tion that they had nothing for their guide except one of Colton's county maps and a compass. In order that your readers may form an idea of the route of these daring men, I add a I.st of counties through which they passed. Starting from La Grange, they first struck Marshal county, in Mississippi, passing in succession through the following counties : Tippah, Pontotoc, Chicka saw, Oktibbeha, Winston, Noxahee, Neshoba, Newton, Jasper, Copiah, Lawrence, Pike and Amite , St. • sidi-A Trage:ly has taken place at 5 St. Petersburg which has created a and Helena and East Baton Rouge, powerful sensation.
