The Boy and the Angel.
BY AIRS. 0., N. SAWYER.
"Oh, mother. I've been with an angel to-day !
1 wag all idene.ln the forest at play,'
Chai•int, the butterflies, watching the bees.
Anil laming the woopeckeir tapping the trees.
I ployisl,and I played, till so weary I grew,
I sat down to rest in the shade el a yew,
While the birds sang so sweetly high up On its,
top,
hold my breath, nietb/t,..for fear they. would
slop !
Thus a long while .I sat. looking up at the eke,
And watching the clouds that went hurjying by,
When I heard a voice calling just over my head,
That sounded as if "Come, ok, brother !" it said
And there, rigiVt over the toll of the tree,
Oh, mother, an angel woe beck'ning to me!
"And 'Brotber!' once mnre..enme, oh. broth
or !' he cried.
And flew an bright pinions closedown by my%dot
Aral mother. ah. never was being so bright •
•
As the one which then beamed 011ly wondering
sight ;
ffis face we, as fair ac the delifato Abell,
Ilia hair down his shoulders in long ringlets
Ilia eyes renting on 171 e. so melting with love,
Were ns anti and Sc mild as the oyes of a dove ;
And somehow, dear mother, I felt not afraid
As his hand on My head was caressingly laid,
And he whispered so softly and gently to me,
•Gonte. brother, the angels ore waiting for thee I',
"And then on my forehend he tenderly prepsed
Such kieees,—oh, mother, they thtilled through
.my Wood
As swiftly no lightning leaps down from on high :
the choriolw of God toll along the dark sky ;
While his breath floating round me was bolt as
rho hreeze ,
That played in my tresses, and rtistlrd the trees.
At last on my head u deep blessing ho poured,
Then plumed hip bright pinions, and upwards he
somed,
And up, up he went through the blue 611 afar,
And seemed to (I.,at there like a glittering star;
A toil still my 4e, tollowed iris radiant
"rill lost in the azure. Ire passed from my night.
Then oh Low• I feated. as I caught the last gleam
Of his vanishing fOrm, it was only a dream I
Then soft voices whispered once more from the
tree,
Come, brother, the angels nre waiting for thee!'
Olt,l_ pale grow that mother, and heavy her
heart.
Far she lower that her fair bay from this world
must Miviut ;
that his bright locks must fade in the dust of the
tomb,
Ere the autumn wi n de Withered tho eurnmer's
rich
Oh, how hid young ibotttepa she watched day by
• thy,
As hit; definite form wasted nlmviy nwny,
fill Iho soft light of heaven seemed shed'o'er his
face,
•dud he• crept up to die hi her lowing embrace
'Oh clap ,me, dear mother, close, close to
your brea,,t,
On that gentle pillow again let me rest ;
Let Inc once more gaze up in that dear, loving
eye,
rid then, oh, methinks CaTl . Wii lingly die !
Now kiss me, dear mother ! Oh, quickly, for see,
rho bright, blessed angels are wailing for mu!"
Oh, wild was the anguish that swept through
"--." her breiist,
As the long, trantic kiss on hie pale lips she
.pressed,
And felt the vain search of his soft pleading eye,
:to it strove to meet here, ere the fair boy could
die.
see you not. mother. for darkness and night
Are hiding 'yen? dear. lor ing fare from my sight,—
ut I hear you; low sobbings,— deur mother good
bye,
The angels ern waiting to bear me on high !
I will wait for you there, but oh, tarry not lout,
Lest grief nt
,your absence should sudden my ,
song..". r...
•He ceawil, and his hands meekly clasped on
his breast,
While his sweet lace sank down on his pillow of
rest,
'Metrelosing his eyes, now all rayless and dim.
Went up with the angels that waited fur him.
The Shadow of Life.
"All that live must *lie,
Passing through Nature to Eternity.
Non seldom think of the great event of
death until the dark shadow falls across:
their own path, hieing forofer from their,'
eyes the face of the loved one whose liv
ing smile was the light of their existence.
Death is the great antagonism of life ; and
the cold thought of the tomb is the skele
ton in all our 6tasts. W do not want to
go throUgh the dark valley, although its
passage may lead to paradise; and, with
Oharles Latch, we do net wish to lie down'
iu the mouldy, grave even with kings and
princes Gtr our bedfellows. But the fiat of
Nature" is inexorable. There is no appeal
or reprieve front the great Law that dooms
us all to dust. We flourish and fade like
the leaves of the forest, and the frailest
flower that blooms and withers in a day
has not t frailer hold ou life than the might.
Test monarch that has ever shook the earth
by his footsteps. Generations of men ap
pear and vanish like the grass; and the
countless multitudes that swarm the world
today will to-morrow disappear like toot
prints on the shore :
"Soon as the rising tide stialLbrat,
Eich trace shell vanish Item the gala,"
In the beautiful drama of lon, the in.
'stillet of immortality, so eloquently utter
ed by the Beat .devoted Greek, finds . a
deep response in every. thoughtful soul.
It is nature's prophecy of the life tbcoute.
When about to yield his yeung existence
as a .sacrifice to Fate, his betrothed, Ole.
menthe, asks if they shall not wed again.
To which he replies: have . asked•that
dreadful qaestion of the liillls that look
eternal ;' of the flowing streams that lucid
flow' forever; of the stars amid whose, field
of azure my raised spirit has walked in glo.
ry. All, all, were dumb.,. But 'while I
gaze upon thy living face I feel there's soma
thing the love'which mantles through
its beauty that cannot wholly perish. W
SIIAILL MEET AGAIN, CLEMAN*IIIE."

Woman' , Wight&
Miss LVOV' EiTotst favored the citizens
of Chambersburg, a few weeks ago, with a
series of addresses" upon the Rubjeett of
"Woman's Rights." Col. 31'ettinz, of
the "Repository and Whig," in a review
of these Lectures,. makes some very truth
ful and forcible remarks. We copy the
article entire :,
In common .witk. most of our citizens,
we heard Miss Lney patiently,and with- a
willingness to profit -by any new light she
oould shed upon her subject. And while
we cannot coincide with her as regards
many of her most important themes of
Reform, we think r ibe said many things
well worthy of the Candid consideration of
both sexes. If she has succeeded in exci
ting an interest in tho subject amongst
our ladies 1 no one Shall be wore rejoiced
than the, writer of this article. 'The agita
tion of the proper sphere of Woman as laid
down in these lectures, cantata but result
in good, for while not more than one in fif.
ty will follow her in her more absurd prop
ositioncforty-nine,' will open their eyes
to new duties, long sanctioned by society,
but discarded by Qie contracted and arbi
trary laws
.of fashion. It is a truth to
,which nosanc. potion zau close his eyes,
that American ladies ore fast becoming
fashion-ridden and indolent, and indolence
htis ever been the'proli6e parent of. igno.
rine° and pride. We do not mean that,
they ore illiterate autl. Juieultivausl ; . but 1
the tendency of the times is to make them
ignorant in the ver'y sense wherein intelli-
Dolce would best tit them fir usefuluesq
to themselves; to 'their laktands and to
their children. The requirements of fash
! ion are growing more and more in antago
nism to all the nobler virtues of Woman,
and there is no depAilence so humiliating
and servile—no slivery so abject through
out the whole catalogue of wrongs jn soci
ety, as the reator4eless demand . ; pf this
great void destroy,pr. That there are no.
blu ext4tions in all chusset, is true; but I
the whole current =of society, and especial-
ly of that class.tittell by education, social!
poSititiu and wealth to ha most useful—is!
whirling rapidly to that riot that left the'
virtuttof France hilt on- the pages of her
history. In this treat wrong to the sex.
and to the rime, the lectures had a happy
bearing; and we lippe that every lady felt
inspired with a - new "Jetermiiiltiimi wheii
Ibis nignificattt animal was intuit to her—
" 031 U KNOWLEDGI.—K\OiYLSDG i
IS 1 , 6 w ER !"
It is a humiliating truth that the posi•
tints cf Woman itillttot what it should !hi;
and it is a blisteritig stain upon the char
acter of the stotaiPtnex; hi whose hands'
our instittitiooff , 24pritin,, ,, are held. that
her fti"ollitiA - ftif IT rough education are
so limited. Otir fashionable boartling
schools, in most instances, do less than
nothing for the ithprovement and elevation
of females': While they teach much that
is practical and useful. they crush every
noble inspiration by the studied cultiva
tion of tines and haunts calculated only to
enslave the mind, to implir tine health, and
destroy all ambition to he trtily great and
good. In this is woman's greatest .wrung
— a wrong not to her only, but a wron g ,
that tells upon her in all the sacred rela
tions of companion, wife and mother—a
wrong that survives her and spreads it s
ravages through generations, and a wrong
thut strikes at her noblest instincts, that
crushes her lovlie-t natural endowments,
and unfits her for the responsible duties I
et apart for her by Nature and Nature's
ad. But much as is denied her in refcr-
I once to education, she cannot be held gtilt
' less for the frivolities Which so largely u
surp tier better nature. Iris an obvious
truth that her elevation and respect-do not
depend upon the ivrtection with which she
can copy the fitshiomplates; the artistic
talent she can display in her etirls, or the
pretty tint of her cheeks. or the snow-like
whiteness of her fare and hands, or her a
bility to prattlJ familiatly ittoui the latest
novel. 'Phis is tor Woman's sphere ; and
sit; farfrom elevating her position and ex
tending her influence, it only wakes her
necessarily a dependent beiug.s And as
this characteristic widens its sphere in the
ranks of the, sex and plants itself more
firmly as:her seeond . nature,just so much
must her dependence increase and her in
fluence diminist ?Woman's noblest right
is to be intellat anti usofttl'i'and when
she is ao, she - wiltdictate her owe
. sphete,
and society • can inflict no 'vritong upon
her.
"But," respond the ladies, "have you
nothing to say of the growing follies of
men 7- 7 -of your tohaeco chewing, smoking, I
drinking, indolent lords of creation ?"
Certainly, Ave have; and do not start when
we say that they owe lunch of it to woman.
We need but see the young then of a place
to jndge con t ectly of the teuc of female so
ciety,Afor in no instance do they fail to
correspond. It is a painful reflection,
when we see the - heroes of society in the
midnight debauch,:that such morals have
the' high sanction of Woman ; that she on,
whom the crushing blow of intemperance
ha 4 so often fallen, making her home dose
ate and her children Ueggars, can smile at
the recital of a drunken frolic, and wel
come to hersociety the muddy brain and
unsteady nerves which have just been so
bered. We involuntarily think of Wo
man,' too, when we hear the profane oath
and the obscene jest of those who rank
high in female udisiration. We think of
Wcitnan, too, when; those very '3oltaccol
chewing, smoking, drinking,indolentlords
of 'creation" are foremost in the social
circle, because they are most expert in
modern accomplishments, while patient'
toil and honest industry—the great bcacon
lights to
,female
. happincss,--are ignored;
because they cannot yield to the arbitrary"
rules and frivolities of fashion. Men tire
thus belittled and unfitted for sober; in
dustrious and honest lives to a great degree.
bevause woman discards her noblest right 1
be intelligent and useful.

Never was a truer sentiment uttered ; and
if WOman could, but radix() ber true posi
tion•;. 'could comprehend .the . -mighty in
titmice she wields in society for good or
fOr evil; she' could` not , indifferent to her
own culture.
,She could, not live an ideal
' life until adverse storms beat upon her,
and reveal a c teriibl6 reality of which she
never dreamed and for which she i
_utter
;ly unprepared. She could not give her
!sonny days in the sprinvitue of life,
when her natural loveliness should be but
an auxiliary to her usefulness, to poison
t her soul and hasten her decay. She would
laim to elate herself, to scatter, with a
lavish hand the beneficent fruit of her in

At the oriset"ol his discourse, the speak
er remarked. that the iiihlewits designed
for,
ull nations, and it was the intention of
God that all should enjoy it. Apart from .
its preplan, due:rules, it carries with it n'
healthful 'influences. The privileges anti
immunities which we enjoy are owing to
the fact that we are a Christian people—
hence the apposiveness of Christianity.—
Of the Chinese, it 'might in truth be oak!,
none were so ancient, none were so popu
lous; Mine an singular. Hot of these lea
