I could not even keep a glass of water on

circumstances: and, accordingly, the physi

MONITIONS IN A MULTITUDE,
BY TIIOMAS G. SPEAR.
A sage who saw a crowd
Beset his neighbor's door,
By turns or rude or loud,
As to and fro it bore,
Turned from his still retreat,
And as he near'd the throng,
His heart began to beat,
At seeming causeless wrong.
He watched their work of shame,
And said, "My native Land!
Is Freedom then a name
These cannot understand V'
And as he said, he sighed,
Nor could his soul repress,
And in their Midst he cued,
"Men I would ye aught redress 7"
"Ay 1 'twas fur that we smote !,'
Their voices quick averr'd—
When, near and more remote,
To speak he thus was heard :
"Oh ! ye of earnest hearts,
And strong and sinewy arms !
They act ignoble parts, •
Who breed a land's alarms.
"Why would ye smite? Because
Your flow man offends
Go, seek your country's laws —
There passion breaks and ends.
Ye see, and yet are blind,
And rave and rend in vain;--
The fault is in the mind—
There let your foes be slain.
"Would ye be free in name,
And not in troth and deed
Then are the sires to blame
To whom such sons succeed.
What ! freemen are ye call'd,
With phrensies truth as these'?
Ah they are most enthrall'd,
Wrongs only can appease.
For know ye not that Will,
Hath no material birth,
Yet motes with good or ill,
,To bless or curse the earth—
That Lifeis cheer'd or mared,
May suffer or enjoy,
As men their rights regain,
As minds their gifts employ-1
"And know ye not that God
Is imaged in the soul,
And animates a clod
Or moves the mighty whole ;
And shall that inward eye,
Commanding bliss or woe,
Not soar as angels high,
But sink with fiends so low?
"Seek ye by threats or blows,
With weapon or with brand,
To crush what ye oppose—
To end what ye withstand?
Then learn ye, that the weak,
When injur'd, most prevail ;
Humanity will speak
Where creeds cannot avail.;
"Are stones the foes of man,
That walls should be destroyM ?
Were alters rear'd to ban,
That mobs might he employed?
Alas ! in vain ye mock.—
Faith strengthens while ye blame,
Aud stake, and torch and stock,
Are fruitful but with shame.
Religion is a thing
Of peace, and not of strife—
To give the soul a wing,
To bring the dying life.
Is man to be forgiven,
And shall he then rebel?
Is that which came from heaven,
To make the world a hell?
"If men would here be free,
Would ye their rights impair,
And have them wildly flee,
Or linger in despair?
Then let not birth or creed
Commend them to your ire ;
Their part, let nature plead,
Let yours, the world admire.
"If changes are design'd,
.L.Pt mild discussion reign,
That light may reach the blind,
And Truth the dull constrain .
If good is to be done,
Persuade, and not decry,
And all coinpulsion shun '
In onset or reply. •
"The right which dwells in one,
Inheres in all mankind,—
And wrong, when once begun,
foritws flee wrong behind.

The misdirected ire,

BEFORE AND AFTER; or, Five Theses o
Married Life.
By Grantellus
INTRODUCTORY
" Ask thy mother earth, why oaks were
made
Taller or stronger than the weeds they
shade:,
Acknowledging the universal equality
of mankind, yet there is a great fact that
underlies the sexual organization of the
race and the constitution of its social
relations and duties, which seems to be
overlooked, or entirely obliterated and
ignored, in the modern discussion of
theories involving sexual "rights." This
fact is the great truth; which recognizes
a difference or an unlikeness in the sexes,
at the_same time that it also recognizes
their perfect equality before God and
the law. The proper functions and
spheres of men and women, physically,
morally, politically and socially, and
perhaps also intellectually, although
equal, are yet as different as the func
tions and spheres of the "oak" and the
"snow-drop" at its feet,—the "sun-flow.
er" and the "morning-glory" that twines
around it—the "lofty mountain" and the
"murmuring rill" at its base. And when
fromany cause, the feminine instrumen
tality usurps or assumes the functions of
the masculine, there will result a race of
"men-women" that must be uncongenial
to a properly organized male mind, and
induce eventual repulsion or alienation.
Reverse the position of the sexes from
their true original, either way, and the
result must inevitably be the same, and
the chief wonder is, that there should be
found men and women in the world, who
can so far unsex themselves as to desire
such a reversal or perversion of social
order. Some person has written, that
the reason why there is so much infideli
ty in the marriage relations of mankind
is, because "all the world is married to
somebody else's wife or husband," which
means a pervading uncongeniality of
sexual aspirations and spheres, unhappi
ly united together in a merely legal
marriage union. What can be the
reason that strong-minded men seldom
or never yearn towards, or seek a con
jugal union, with strong minded women,
but that they are more strongly drawn
towards a predominating feminine af
fection, in order to counterbalance their
own cold intellectuality? The case is
the same with the truly cultivated fe
male mind—it has no affinity for a "wo
man-man," but on the contrary it leans
towards an object which it can "love,
honor and obey" in return for the "love,
protection and support': which it re
ceives. Equal the male and female
minds, rights-and privileges, surely are,
in the sight of men and of angels, but
unlike in their spheres of use, their in
ternal affections and their external
manifestations; and the sooner and the
more 'truthfully these distinctions are
realized .and recognized, the nearer a
millennium in married life will be at
hand. The true intents and purposes of
the married relation are, that the man
and woman should become a perfect one
—a unit in a'l the aspirations, aims and
duties of life ; sad to make a perfect
one, there must be a perfect male and
female mind, as well as a perfect male
and female body. The yoking together
of two male minds, or two female minds,
even if the sexes were physically differ
ent, would be, and is, wherever it exists,
as essentially a duplicate as if two men
or two women were united together in a
legal marriage. Sueb unions can only
be externally maintained, if maintained
at all ; bat in ninety-nine cases in .a
hundred, if there is not a firm moral .
stratum underlying the character, they
usually tern.inate disastrously to the
peace and happiness of the married par
ties. The modern agitation of the
question of sexual "rights," whether of
man or woman, are only superficial—
skimming and discussing the froth that
rises to the top, expecting to find the
causes of existing social evils there,
whereas they lay hidden down deep in
the corruptions of the human heart, and
the perverted outbirths of its affections.
No pure-hearted and right-minded
man can possibly feel solicitous that his
own individual rights will come into
conflict with the rights of woman, nor
will a true woman be anxious lest her
rights may come into conflict with those
of man; these jealousies and anxieties
are indulged in by those alone who are
in the effort to reverse the order in
which mankind was.primitively created,
and the departure from Which ha 4 been
the cause of all the domestic infidelity
and strife that we now see in this degen
erate world. Men moManifying them-
selves and women manifying themselves,
must ever—in the esteem of those
_4p-
proximating to the image and likeness
in which God hae created them—be as
repulsive a sight and sound as that of
a clucking "cock" or a crowing "hen."---
Whei3 individuals, families, or societies,
become so far familiarized with the va
rious monstrosities that grow out of a
reversal of the order of nature, and de
vote their energies and ingenuities to a
perpetuation of them, it only evinces
among them a predominating love of
evil and disorder, which, under a bigher
degree of moral and intellectual light,
is in danger of becoming wicked and
There is no occupation, office or po
sition in life, that has not attached to it
a world of anxieties, vexations, respon
sibilities and labors, that are partially
or altogether unknown and unapprecia
ted by those in different situations and
offices, and therefore many persons, of
both sexes, when they have attained the
positions which they may have long
coveted, they find that, they do not re
alize the ease, irresponsibility and per
fect content which they imagined those
positions would seem to convey, when
seen from that distance which "lends
enchantment to the view." This is,
partly, because they may not have acted
well their parts in their old positions ;
and, bringing with them the same selfish
aspirations and ambitions - , they find
themselves circumscribed by uncongeni
al restrictions or disqualifications, for
the efficient discharge of the functions
of the new ; and partly because a blind
zeal and a warped judgement may have
led them to mistake the means by which
the Almighty has surrounded them, for
the ends wtiich those means were intend
ed to accomplish.
The great and general misconception
of the proper functions and spheres of
man and woman before marriage, is the
fruitful source of many of the evils and
inequalities that are so often developed
among the sexes after marriage. If
they are not equal, then they are utterly
mismated and the world is planned all
awry; but if they are alike, and can
with impunity interchange their respect
ive offices and uses, then there had been
no necessity of creating them male and
female in the beginning. Granting that
woman is man's equal--which is a
truism which no true 'flan will for a mo
ment fail to apprehend and concede—
yet it does not follow from this that she
should break up her household paradise
and rush forth, emulous of fame, to tread
the thorny paths of notoriety in the
political arena, the forum, or the pulpit.
Differing in degrees of affection and
perception by creation, and thence by na
ture, the plane of their uses were also in
tended to be diverse,and therefore among
the sons of Israel was the statute, that,
"There shall not be the garment:of a
man upon a woman, nor the garment of
a woman upon a man ; because this is
an abomination." The rough and shag.
gy exterior of the man, as well as his
large-boned and muscular physical jute
Hor, when compared with the almost
universal softness, tenderness, and deli
cacy of physical structure of the woman,
must ever indicate that they are the
mediums through which different affec
tions, different functions, and different
duties are to be manifested and diffused
throughout the social, the political, and
the religious world.
Upon a right apprehension and ap
preciation of the true relations between
man and woman, is based the regenera
tion and final disenthrallment of the hu
man race. Had there, from the begin
ning of society, been an acquiescence,
from an interior principle, in all "the
statutes and judgements" that had been
spoken into the ears of the people on this
subject by their Creator.; and bad not
internal disobediences and revolts on
the one hand, and external tyrannies and
grasping exactions on the oth'r, so ex
tensively tainted the quality of the mar
riage union, and thence given tone and
character to society in general, there
had not been the ghastly sights of bro
thers' hands imbrued in brothers' blood,
and the weeping and mourning among
the deserted and berieved, which is now
seen in society and abroad on every
hand. The contentious busy-bodies of
the world are not content to know that
a peach is unlike a pear, although both
in their way may be equally good—they
must settle the matter by argument and
the final voice of the majority ; as if
they were sure that majorities were not
traveling in the broad road instead of
the narrow way that leads to life; and
as if mankind would be wiser and better
if these things were - settled in this way.
The rights - of man and woman are not
pointa that need be thus settled, for
they are not points at issue--there is no
antagonism between them that needs a
VOL. 10.---NO. 4.
declaration of superiority or inferiority,
for they are equal in all the rights and
privileges which respectively pertain to
them, however unlike they may be in
their manifestations of use. Mankind
is legitimately characterized by different
degrees of intellect and affection, differ.
ent degrees of mental and physical
power, different degrees of domestic and
religious quality. and different degreess
of social and political sentiment, for the
purpose of carrying out the order of
their creation, for
"Order is heaven's first law; and this
confest,
Some are. some must be, greater than the
rest."
In the following chapters it is intend
ed to illustrate some of the prevalent
phases of human life before and after
marriage ; and although these views are
personal to no special individuals or lo
calities, yet the reader may see imper
fectly reflected some of his or herr own
experiences, either founded on personal
observation, or on passages of their -own
lives. The experiences cf courtship and
married life are perhaps as various and
as diversified, and present as many dif.
ferent aspects as the different disposi
tions and temperaments of those who
address each other and become united
in marriage ; but it is only necessary to
enumerate a few of them, and those few,
such as combine more or less of the
characteristics which govern all of them.
It must be apparent to the virtuous,
the refined and the christian reader, that
there is a prevailing grossness, if not
an absolutely indelicate association of
ideas, connected with the institution of
marriage by the masses of mankind,
which renders the purity of its origin
and its uses of a very doubtful nature;
and if anything in the following chap
ters is calculated to dissipate any such
perversions and mis-conceptions of 'a
merciful provision of a benevolent De
ity, and leads to a proper contemplation
of the subject before marriage, in order
that there may be a continuance of mar.
riage felicities afterwards, and to the
end of the lives of the married parties,
then more will have been accomplished
in penning these "phases" of human life,
than ever had been expected in the
most sanguine. views of the writer.
"To pure'tninds, all things are pure,"
is the language of a wisdom to which
many in the various grades of human
society have not yet attained ; never
theless, if mankind cannot become
"wise as serpents" and at the same time
as "harmless as doves," then they never
can attain a foothold on the "other side
of Jordan." Elevation—moral, social,
and civil- elevation of purpose, and a
complete renovation of all the aims and
ends of life, must be effected ; and this
too must by a series of self-compulsions,
be effected in-each individual heart and
mind before marriage, if those contem
plating that relation expect to' be mutu
ally benefitted themselves, or to be fit
instruments for the begetting, and con
fering lasting benefits upon posterity,
or upon the families and the friends of
those by_whom they are daily surround
ed afterwards. Let it ever be held in
special and sacred remembrance, too,
that
"Marriage is a matter of more worth
Than to be dealt in by a'torneyship i't
and therefore needs an invocation of that
light without which all in this world ik
dark and uncertain indeed, There must
also be a forgetting and foregoing of
self, and an interest felt in, and an af
fection for, things out of self, to consti
tute a true reciprocal relation of the
sexes. A merely selfish wish, desire,
aim or object, can never be obtained
without involving more or less of the
happiness, the comfort, or the manhood
of others. And if this selfishness is
sought to be exercised by either the one
or the other of the married partners, the
harmony of their union is sadly inter
rupted; and if by both of them, it is
entirely destroyed, so far as the essence
of a true union is concerned. " True
hearts never grow old," and although
the body may become attenuated enc
feeble, and the hair silvered by the
frosts,of many winters, yet mentally an..
spiritually there may be a tendency u,
wards a youthfulness even in this lit;
that will only reach its highest state o'
beauty and perfection when it has done
with the things of time, and wings it:
way through-the realms of eternity. A
life of pure wedded love, even amid the
pains and trials that are incidental to
