Be very careful' to whom you give the side-door key; too many have them already. - q--You remember the old story of the tender-hearted man, who placed a frozen viper in. bosom, and was stung by it when it became thawed.? If we take a cold-blooded creature into our bo som, better that it should sting us and we should die than that its chill should slowly steal into our hearts; warm it we never can ! I have seen faces of women that were fair to look upon, yet one could see that the icicles were forming round these women's hearts. I knew what freezing image lay 'on the white breasts beneath the laces!' "A very simple intellectual mechanism answers the necessities of friendship,, and. even of the most intimate . relations of life. If a watch tells us the hOur'and the minute, we can be content to carry it about - with us for a life-time, though it ;.as no second-hand, and is not a repeat er, nor a musical watch,—tbough it is not -ainelled nor jeweled,—in short, though it has little beyond the wheels required for a trustworthy instrument ; added to a .pfttl face and a pair of useful hands.--- The More wheels there are in a watch or a brain, the more trouble they are to take care of.. The ntovements of ex altati4t which belong to genius ,are . ' egotistic by their very nature. A calm, clear mind, not subject to the spasms and crises that are so.often met with in creative or in tensely perceptive natures, is the best ba sis for 'love or friendship.— . —Observe, I am talking about minds. I won't say, the: mart; intellect, the less capacity fur for that would do wrong.to the understanding and ,rease.n;—but,, on the other hand, that the brain often runs away with the heart's best blood, which gives the world a few pages of wisdom or sentiment or poetry, instead of making one other heart happy, l l . I have no ques tion. "Hone's 'intimate not love or friend ship cannot or does not share all one's intellectual tastes or, pursuits, that is a small. matter. Intellectual companions eau be' found ,easily in wca and books. After ail, if we think of iL, most-of the world's loves and friendships have been between people that could not real nor spell. ‘ l But to raAliate the heat of tha atree aons into a clod, which absorbs all that is poured into it, but never warms beneath the sunshine of smiles or the pressure of hand or lip,—this is the great Martyrdom of sensitive bein , s,—most of all- in that perpetual auto &Tie where young woman hood is the sacrifice. noticed, perhaps; what I just said • about the loves and friendships of illiterate personi,—thatiis, of.the human grace, with a few exceptions here and . there, I like books,—l was born. and I bred among thaw; and have the easy feel ing, When I get into their presence, that ti table-boy has among' horses. I . don't think 1 undervalue them either as com panions or instructors. -But I can't help remembering that the world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men, The Hebrew patriarchs had small libraries, I think, if any; yet they represent to our imaginations a very complete idea of Man hood, and, I think, if we could ask in Abraham to dine with us men of, letters. next Saturday, we should feel honored by his company. TRU:GUTS ABOVE BOOKS I 'What I wanted to say about books is this: that there are times in which every active mind hers itself above any and all human books. think a man must have a good opinion of himself, Sir,---said the divinity student,--who should feel himself above Shakspeare al. any time. Ofy young friend,—l replied,—the man who is never conscious of any state of feeling or intellectual effort entirely beyond expression, by any form of words whatsoever is a mere creature of laugnage. I can hardlV bdieve there are any such men, Why, think for a moment of the power of music. TIM nerves that make us alive to it spreads out (so the Professor tells roe) in the most seiisitive region of the marrow, just where it is widening to run upwards into the hemispheres. It has its seat in the region of sense rather than of thought. Yet it produces a eon tinuous and, as it were, -logical sequence i of , emotional Wand intellectual changes ; 'but how different froin trains .of thought proper! how entirety beyond the rdach of symbols !—Think of human passions - as compared with all phrases l Did pit ev er hear of a man's growing lean by the reading of. and Juliet," or blow- . . ing. his, brains • out because- Desdemoua its watery raiment i- swept away.

A great many people in to the heart that he has cut into the very this world have but one .torm of rhetoric quick; "Dost thou loT e a me?" Then alone for their .. profoundest experiences , can the true answer come , " Thou_ know namely, to waste away and die. When eat that I love thee . ' a man can reap s his paroxysm of feeling is passing. , When he can react, his thought . has slackened its hold.—You talk about. reading ,Shakspeare, using him as an expression ror the highest intellect, and you wonder that. any,temmon potion should be so presumptuous as to suppose his thought can rise above the text which lies before him. - But, think a moment. A child's reading of Shakspeare is one thing, and Coleridge's or Schlegel's read ing of him is another. The saturation: point of each mind differs from that of every ether. But I think it is as true for the small mind which can only , take up a little'as for the great one which fakes up much, that the 'suggested trains of thought and feeling.ought always to . rise above—not the author but the reader's mental version of the author, whoever be may be. - . ' 'I think most readers of Shakspeare sometimes , find themselves thrown into I exalted mental conditions like those pro ; duced by Music. Then they may drop the book. to pass at once into the region l of thought without wofds. We may hap pen to be very dull folks, you and I, and probably de, unless there is some partic ular reason to suppose the contrary. But we get , glimpses now and then of a sphere of spiritual , possibilities, where we, dull as we now are, may sail in vast circles round the largest compass of earthly in-, telligences. "--s---I confess there arc times when I, feel like the friend I mentioned to , you some time ago,—l hate the very sight of a book. Sometimes it becomes almost a physical necessity eolith out what is in' the mind, before puttink anything else into it. It is very bad. to have thoughts and feeling* which were meant to come out in talk, strike in, as they say of some complaints that ought' to show out wardly. "I always believed in life rather than in books. I suppose every day of earth, with its hundred thousand' deaths and something, More of births,—With itsloves and hates, triumphs - and defeats; its pangs and Misses, has more of humanity in it than all 'the books that were ever written, put together. I believe the flow ers-growing at this moment send up more fragrance to heaven than was ever exhal ed from all .the essences evor, distilled." Pitri6 AtigtEllaity. What a woman, Thinks About tier Eights. To the Editore of Oa Reening Poet! Allow me to enclose you an extract from a' private Jotter written by a lady, iti regard to that much-vexed question, "Wo man's rightS and wrot's. It speaks for itself, I think, and needs no introduction or apology: ' " As for ,‘ woman's rights,'. I have a strong belief in them, and' insist upon theca, as yeu know, but - I never expect to insist upon' those which will almost certainly supersede such as she possesses now. I don't believe, for instance, that when women go the polls to vote, men will run around to get a carriage for them, if it chances to be raining or if she differs from them in polities ; and I prefer the right tesuch attentions, to the privilege of voting. I have every right for which I have any desire; thank Heaven I I have the right to be taken care of, and guard ed, and comforted, - and protected from privation, and of sharing my husband's interests, with, which. I have no rights tlint conflict; What a lively One we should have if we disagreed in politics; or party, ur principles; and how charming. a , woman would look nursing a baby and reading or' writing politieal artieles. 1 think it :mild be quite awful to have a woman kept from going to vote by such a cause an detained Curtis from delivering his lecture in Philadelphia, when Beech er supplied his place and gave the reason so-frankly. Yes, I believe, in the legal changes to protoot unhappily-married women and all that, but votalig ! If my husband ever aciviioates my voting ' shall be sate he wants to-kill me off. As if I didn't have enough to, de and think about without posthri myself up in the affairs of the nation; for whose manaaement men were specially' created !

CHASE, 0:7 OHIO, o TEMPER ANCE.—In his Message to the Legisla ture, he makes the following suggestions on Intemperance. It remains to be seen how a Democratic Legislature will heed them : "The conspicuous fact that in 'numer ous instances the causes Of the infirmities, and especially of 'the idiocy, lunacy, and crime, which fill our Asylums, our Peni tentiary, and pur Reformatory Institutions, are to be traced to the violation of natural, laws, and especially to .Intemperance, can not fail to attract your notice'.
