men from men For the best and wisest
of purposes. The principal destination
of all women is to be mothers hence
some qualities peculiar to such destna-
ton must necessarily have been bestowed
upon them: these qualities are numerous:
superior degree Of patience of affection,
of minute but useful attentions, joined to
almost incessant speaking.
Here, however, / must con6ne my OBJ
servations to the last conspicuous and
eminent accomplishment. To be ocu-
pied with laborious offices, which demand
either bodily or mental exertions, andno
unirequently both, is allotted tothe men.
These causes, besides their comparative
natural taciturnity, totally incapaciiate
them for that loquaci,y which is requisite
for amusing and teaching young children
to speak. But the employmenls Of wo-
men are of more domestic kind
Household affairs, and particulaly the
nursing and training ofchildren, are sufii-
cient to engross their attention and to call
forth all their ingenuity and active pow
ers. The loquacity ofwomen is too Of
ten considered by poets, historians, and
un,hinking men, as reproach upon the
sex. Men Of this description know not
what they say. When they blame wo-
men for speaking much, they blame ma
ture for one Of her wisest Institutions
Women speak muc!i--they ought to
speak much--nature compels them TO
speak much; and when they do so, they
are complying religicusly with one of her
most sacred and useful laws.

THE ART OF HAPPINESS.

Arachne and Melissa are two friends.
They re both of them women in years,
and alike in birth, fortune, education and
accomplishments. They were original
ly alike in temper too; but, by different
management, are grown the reverse of
each other. Arachne has accustomed
herself to look only oh the dark side of
every object. If new poem or play
makes It's appearance, with a thousand
brilliancics, and but one or two blemi.h-
es, she slightly skins over the passages
that should give her pleasure, and dwells
upon those only which fll her with dis
like. lfyou show her very excellent
portrait, she looks at some part of the
drapery which has been neglected, or to
hand or finger which has been left un-
finished. Her garden is very beauti-
ful one, and kept with great neatnesS aid
elegance; F; but if you take walk with
her in it, she talks to you of nothing but
blights and storms, of snails and cater
pillars, and how impossible il is to keep
it from the litter of falling trees and
worm casts. If you sit down in one of
her temples, to enjoy delightful pros
pect she observes to you, that there is
TOO much wood, or too little water that
the day is too sunny, or too gloomy ;
that it is sultry or windy and finishes
with long harrangue upon the wretch

RELIGIOUS AFFECTIONS.

Christians are not to believe that the
presence oi God is imaginary, when it
docs not give them the light and power
to say fine things. His presence is ne
yer more real, or more beneficial, than
when it teaches us to be silent-to hum
BILE ourselvcs-not to hearken TO self
love, and TO remain with lowliness and
fidelity in the obscurity of faith. This
taste of self remuneration and lowliness,
is much more profitable than the bright
ideas and lively sentiments. In prayer,
if you have true humility you will seldom
err; but on the other hand, ifyou are aim
ing to perform it in an exalted phraseolo-
gy,vanity and selflove usurp the place Of
true piety and self devotion aim then at
simplicity in prayer, lest you be puiled.

COUNTESS OF REGLA.

Some months ago, the fashionable
countess of Regla, celebrated by the tour
lists in Mexico, and wife of the most opu-
lent OF the Mexican noblemen, was di-
vorced from her husband by the sentence
o! a competent. tribunal. The affair oc-
casioned much noise. She was placed
for few days in convent, but soon
Withdrew from it, to reside with an aunt
upon an alimony of six thousand dollars
per annum. Tins lady was quite state
parsonage; one of the chief, of the party
of the centralisls or anti federaIsts, aud
an object of personal as well as political
devotion, to a numerous train of admirers.
Although she brought no estate or dowry
to the Count, and was thus legally Spa
rated after fourteen years Of marriage,
she has contrlved TO procure a judgment
against him, by which he is declared to
be incapable of managing his property,
and put into the custody of trustees or
guardians. lie is by 10 means fool or
idiot, and has appealed from the iniqui-
tous decree, which was obtained from a
court, military in fact, though il has juris-
dction touching entails and primogeni-
ture. The Counts lawyer is Francisco
Tagle, one Of the ablest in Mexico.--
Tage has printed curious statement Of
the case, now before us-in which he
asks whether it will not be thought that
such things have happened, not in repub-
lican Mexico, but in Turkey or Barbary,.
If at all.
According to the Gossip's chronicle.
General Bravo and Victoria particularly
favour the lady's cause.
"This most scandalous business" says
Tagle, "has begun to b. notorious, and
shall soon be- much more So"
