THE FEMALE HEART.

The female heart may be compared to garden,
which, when we'll cultivated, presents a continued
succession Of fruits and flowers, regale the soul,
and delight the eye but, when neglected, pro-
ducing crop Of the most noxlous weeds large
and Aourishing, because their growth is in proper
ton to the warmth and richness of the soil from
which they spring. Then let this ground be faith
fully cultivated; let the mind Of the young and
lovely female be stored with useful knowledge,
and the influence of women, though undimnlshed
in power. will be like "the diamond of the DESERT"
sparkling and pure, whether surrounded by the

FEMALE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

FLM-Ai4f ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
When Mrs, Jordan sang, it was the heart in her
voice that came through, and made her very song
forgotten The orchestra ceased, and the house
recognized the genuine human being. Even the
homeliest utilities when brought into contact with
refinement, and gracefully managed, reflect upon
1t an additional beauty, by reason Of the secret ap-
peal they make to our paramount sense of good.
1t was pleasant surprise to us the other day. when
visiting our friends to hear an answer brought from
ayoung lady who was sent for to take part in
Duet "1hat her fingers were all over Hour but
she would come to us the moment she got it off,
The same hand that could play an instrument was
making pudding, as it ought to do, The union
of accomplishments is less respected now days,
than it was in the times of nv Lady Pembroke and
Mrs. Hutchinson, when laty's hand could at one
minute be playing on the "hcavenly verginas,"
and at the next was deep in pickle and preserves
They could not spell then, scornfully exclaims
modern fine lady. No madam spelling was not so
common as 1t is now. Let us pque ourselves as
we ought upon that interesting advantage, cspeci-
ally as it is evidence of the diffusion of letters
among rich and poor, but the real progress of
knowledge docs not consist in acquiring one utility
and leaving another The hand is most accom-
pished, which is fullest of power To be perfect,
we would have be able to spell, and to work. and
TO play, and to make a tart or bed; and to dress,
and to dandle child, and to twtch the ear of a
friend, and to wipe the tears from ones eyes, and
to be kissed in old age with above beyond rever,

1t be able to lay itself with encouragement on the

VARIETY.

Lieycry-At the late Commencement of Hamp.
den Sydney College, the Literary and Philosophi-
cal Society of that Institution appointed William

Singular Fn1aticism.-Dr. Henderson, in his
interesting journal Of tour i'll Russia, says, he Wis
tied one family of dissenters who carried their SUI
persttions SO far that the mistress of the house re-
fused to sit at table with him, because one Of his
companions had metal buttons on his travelling
coat, and another had tobacco pipe in his hand
Their aversion to snuff was so great, that if box
happens to lay on the table, the part on which it
has been laid, must be planed OUT before the table
will be used again.
Courage certainly is of no sex, but faculty OF
the soul--and however custom may depress, or dis

nature in general. If men possess more deter

''Out with the boat in an Instant" roared
the captain, and, at the same time, running
wildly about the deck, d" call the fresh watch!
and about ship Immediately Mate up the
shrouds directly; keep sharp eye upon the
poor gentleman and his boy, and let your arm
be directed to where the waves carry them"
The captain was the first to spring into the
boat, and his crew eagerly followed him For
never did a true American sailor wait for Sc
cond order when his aid was required. Brave
ry and kindness Of heart are often synonymous.
:" Pull my lads; for Gods sake pull" said
the captain, as he kept turning round, at one
time to see the mate on the mast, pointing out
the direction the bodies had taken, and then, to
steer the boat Alright The men did not utter a
word but pulled at the oars with all their pow
cts drifting sea- said the captain Not
one OF the men answered him but each CONT
nued to labor away.
81 have my fearst-keep good look out at
the head Of the boat, Atkins!"
Here the captain turned around to look again
at the directing arm upon the ships mast; and
he turned deadly cold when he saw the mate
raise, as if in alarm, his hands on high =
"God of heaven!' cried the captain, {" then
they have indeed sunk!"--
81 saw it, exclaimed the second officer, who
was stationed at the bows of the boat saw it
shake its jaws! And look, Sam. is that the yell
low gulfweed between his teeth Surely it can't
be the poor chld's hairn
The dreadful catastrophe was soon partly
told. A bllow, lightly tinged with blood, arose
round the boat, and displayed within its centre
huge shark
No tracts of the poor father was pcrceivabIe
The captain grew sick at the heart.
"Take the helm, Atkins" he said, keeping
his eye fixed on the bottom of the boat The
second mates cheek had cold tear upon it, as
he, in silence, obeyed his commanders orders
And fine expression Of still sorrow was per
ceivablc upon the face Of every man composing
the boats crew.
Slowly and family did the captain ascend the
side Of his ship.
g Let me not be called during the night" he
said, addressing his first officer; ''and do not
show me the log book for some days to come"
He then entered his state-room, fastened the
door, and fell upon his bed, sobbing violently
The night watch was set; but not man dis
turbed the Stiffness of the deck with heavy
tread. The heavens looked cold and bright,
nought was heard through the dark hours but
the light cry of the wheel, as the man at the
helm looked at the pinnacle light, and kept the
vessel up to the wind. c. E. E.

ryeCMe Christian charities of JJomen.

Next to the ministers Of righteousness, the gen
tie sex, have in all ages distinguished themselves
by the lustre which they have constantly shed on
every branch and department of charity. Though
women in their social course Of action describe
smaller circle than men, yet it has been well OBJ
served, that the perfection Of circle consists not
in its dimensions but in IFS correctness I~mipht
proceed to illustrate the truth of this remark BY
naming individuals, some of whom are known to
most Of those who compose this auditory-ndivi-
duals exemplary for the fulflment Of the charities
of mother, daughter, friend and benefactor-but
motives of delicacy prohibit such qualification
But if we examine the roll Of ancient, or some of
the brightest pages of modern history it will be do
ing the but bare justice to declare, that It
seems to if the Deity, from wise purposes had
infused into the hearts of woman double portion
OF the true spirit of christianity, unwearied kind
ness, tender piety, and practical commisseraton
No wonder, indeed, that system of faith which
breathes benevolence and is based on charity
should have been early adopted and zealously pro.
pagated by so many illustrious women. To omit
earlier cases, and later instances shall briefly men
ton two only. one of which occurred during the
middle age of darkness, the other after the day
star OF reformation had arisen in Europe. Twelve
centuries ago the mild and pious Bertha, first in
troduced the charities Of the Gospel, into royal
branch of the Saxon Heptarchy. And thus by
woman was the glorious and civilizing work begun
of outstanding our gross and ferocious progeni-
tors. Nine centuries afterwards, Bullen, the mo-
Their Of Elizabeth, that British Queen who became
the pillar OF Observation-Disclosures, the gentle and
accomplished; she who became a victim to her
memorable tyrant, at a time when superstition had
corrupted the purity of the Gospel-protected. in
England, the devout leaders of evangelical refor-
nation. And it was those leaders who afterwards
educated SO many luminares of piety and learning
And it was these and their successors who in the
land Of our forefathers, dfused the radiant light of
reason and revelation 1t was these men who in.
structed that sect of purtans in church and state,
who finally led the Atlantic, preferring hard
ship in bowling wilderness, to bigotry and bon
dage in their native land, sect who by thus evad-
ing persecution aud the creed of the divine right
of Kings, became the founders of our republican
ism, knowledge and charity, whose posterity have
aggrandized the rights Of man throughout this wes-
tern world. Thus, the benevolent Parent Of the
Universe seems to have appointed the docile minds
or gentle influence of ilIus,rious women to imbibe
and dffuse the blessed spirit of christian reforma-
ton and charity.
