the nature of true dignity and real manii-
ness. That the most perfect dignity OF
character and manner is consistent with
these virtues, was eminently manifested in
Him who was beyond all others, ''meek
and lowly in heart" That $hirit which is
by some SO greatly admired, would, upon in
vestigation, be found to be made up of the
most mean and pitifu qualities, and topro-
coed from contemplate species of vanity.
Do we need inducements to cultivate this
temper? Let us make the trial for one day;
let us be peaceable, meek, forbeal'ing, sub
missiye; determining not to be provoked by
provocaton; and remark, if that day will not
be more productive ofhappincss to ourselves
as we'll as to all around us, than another in
which rights have been maintained, privi-
leges asserted, insults returned, and wrongs
ever so successfully revenged. This, IN
deed, must be the case, because holiness and
happiness, our duty and our interest, are in
separately connected.
Let our young readers then, while they
wisely repress that inordinate attention to
external decoration which SO generally pre-
walls, be ambitious to win and wear this
choice array, these precious ornaments. Let
them "learn of Him who was meek and
lowly in heart, and they shall find peace in
their consciences and rest to their SOULS"

THE LADIES' FRIEND.
AMERICAN LADIES.

Perhaps there is no country in the world
where the women are more completely DO
mestic, than they are in our country; and
none where female influence is more gen
orally felt. This is the most happy. clrcum-
stance; and it affords a most powerful argu-
ment in favor of female education.
1t is trite ! know, but very important to
remark, that when ladies are distinguished
for domestic habits and virtues, their mu-
tual influence is very great
They mould the hearts, and to great
degree, from the understanding of the fu-
ture fathers and mothers in our country.
Now they who have in their hands so great
a part Of early education, certainly ought
to receive that cultivation of heart and mind
which would fit them for the discharge OF
the very important duties oftheir station
This is no easy work. 1t demands skiliand
Judgment as we'll as attention. surely prep
aration ought to be made for it, that 1T may
be done we'll. Look at the majority OF girls
of eighteen, in the country, and see what
are their qualifications for place at the
head of household.
But female influence IS felt not only in
domestic life; it reaches to every part o:
socity. Every where it ought to be intel
lectual as we'll as sensitive; intelligent as
we'll as affablc, good as we'll as pretty. NC
where indeed are they more pure and deli
cate than among ourselves; but II to those
graces of the female character were added
suitable mental improvement, the$ef on
the whole. community would be most happy
A higher spirit of literature woulds'pervade
our states; and young men would spend that
time in study, which they now waste in dis
sipation. A lofter tone or. moral feeling
would be awakened, and wegmight hope tt
witness the purity without the extravagan
/ ces of chivalry.

JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER.

1t is astonishinghow little has been writ
ten or spoken upon that most exalted Of all
the sacrifices ever made by mere mortals,
which is recorded in the eleventh chapter
of JUDGES The divine historian has not e.
ven given us the name of the fair victim.
Jephthah, returning from the slaughter of
twenty cities, and the complete conquest of
the enemies of Israel, rashly vowed, that
whatsoever come forth of the doors of his
house to meet him, should surely be the
Lords, and should be sacrificed with fire !
His daughter, an only daughter! for she is
emphaticaly called "the daughter of Jeph-
thah, the Gileadite," indeed an only child,
gay in all the loyeiness of youth and beauty,
and animated to enthusiasm by the pros
pect of her brave fathers approaching tri-
umph, came out to meet him with timbrels
and with dances, unconcious of the awful
doom to which she was destined! When,
in all the agony of regret and sorrow. he an
nounced to her the vows which he deemed
irrevocable, how dignihed her composure,
how unparalleled her heroism She resort
ed to no sophistical evasions to avert the
blow that impended over her; scarcely con-
descended to express regret for her untme-
ly fate. My father, if thou hast opened thy
mouth unto the Lord, do to me according to
that which hath proceeded out OF tiny mouth
-forasmuch as the Lord hath taken venge-
ancc for thee of thine enemies. even OF the
children of Ammon. All she requested,
was that herself and the companions of her
intantie pleasures might be permitted to
wander for two months upon the lonely
mountains, to prepare herself for death
more glorious than that of the most cele-
brated hero of ancient or modern ages
Compared with this, how trif1ing the boast
ell sacrifice of Lhhigema, which indeed, from
the silence OF Homer, who could neither
have forgotten nor despised ahincident SO
suited to his taste. and SO capable OF en-
bellshi g his poem, we ought to regard as
altogether fabulous.
Sweet simplicity of the patriarchal ages,
ennobled by self-devotion more sublime than
that of Codorus or Curtins 1t is the busi-
ness Of soldier and king to die in the
field of battle, but what could poor rural
girl feel of martial enthusiasm. or expect of
future fame!

THE LOG CABIN,

Mercy on us who is that female so loud
upon our right! Of a surety, she must be
the original woman who hired the devil to
teach her how to outscold all her neighbors.
Bartholomew Fair.
MY tale is not so much about the log cab
in as its contents, though every one who had
travelled from Alesbury to Burling Ford,
must remember the three-cornered pine-log
hut at the foot ot the Red Ridge, rooted
with loose slabs, with a mud and straw CHM
ney, and a large hole cut out of one side for
the double purpose of door and window.
And if there was not such another Cabin IN
the country, neither was there just such an
other pair as the honest couple who inhab-
tied 1.-THE land on which it stood belong
ed to a distant proprietor. as such lands
were considered "free'', the present tenant,
Peter Keltzer, had put up the dwelling him
self, with such assistance as two quarts OF
whiskey commanded on the raising day, and
lived as one would readily imagine from his
manner of living, entirely unincnmbered
with ground rent.
Peter had scarcely troubled himself to cut
away the bushes that>grew by his door. He
minded neither the grubbing hoe nor the
pruning knife, his only implement of hus-
bandry, if may call it so, was rough bor-
ed rifle, which he kept in admirable order,
and with which he never failed to do excel
lent service, whenever necessity or whim
drove him to scour the forest, and climb the
rugged mountains, or trace up the winding
streams in pursuit of game--and, in truth,
necessity or whim kept the poor man pref
ty constantly on the scout, tor when their
venison was not out, Madame Keltzer's tenn
per always was, and the failure of the one
or the other was An equal misfortune for Pc
ter.
Dame Keltzer was thin, sharp visaged
lady, about five feet two; with black pierc.
ing eye, and but three teeth; the others, a:
Peter affirmed, having been utterly worn
out'of her mouth by the constant concus-
sions of her tongues, which also, were Mret
in number, if his word might pass for value

Gliding anomalies, that the Dame had COM
