dense population. We saw by The. way
side lillle. ,urchen, apparently, aboMt six
or eight years old, husily engaged in pick
ing barberries. His clothes were ncatrand
clean, but patched with many colors. His
countenancc open, frank, aud the emblem
Of innocence. We stopped a moment 10

Of about ten years came up, who like our
self, were walking to take the morning air.
On sesing the little fellow among the bar
berry bushes, the lad of ten with finer
clothes, bur a coarser heart, abruptly ac-
costed him with 4 say, boy, what do you
wear your clothes patched up SO for 7"
With a counlenaaee that bespoke his

The Kind hearted woman had touched a

of tenderness and manly feelings. He
burst into tears, and entreated his mother
to give the poor boy some Of his clothes---,
The barberries were Immediately purcilas-

THE RrGHrs OF WoMEN.-As the whole
community is agitated with measures adap-
ted to assert the rights aHd advance the in
terest Of laboring mon, il would do well to
consider for moment the claims Of indus
trious women. 49, .,,.tt ...,5 ,.n,,s,,. "a, h.,
There is a strange and cruel mockery IN
the conduct Of tho lords Of creation 10 the
weaker sex. They are fond Of speaking
in cxtravagant terms on the excellence of
women they delight in manifesting their
refinement by unmeaning compliments, and
exhibit their gallan,ry 10 thousand super
fluous attentions. Here thcir justice ends.
They call themselves tho defenders Of wo-
meD--do they protect her they praise
her yirtue---does their conduct manifest q
real respec,2 they compassionate her weak
ness--do they sustain her in poverty, cheer
her loneliness with the voice ofencourage-
ment, or do aught in any shape to supply
her wants, or alleviate her Affections The
world is scene Of violence, where every
man scrampies ftn his share ofIhs plumber
but weak woman is constrained by her
physical inferiority to stand apart and gaze
hopelessIy, with iitileao sustain Der or hnr
little ones but the stray fragments which
may fall in her way. She is still, as in the
oldcD time, a CLEANER in the harvest oflife /;
and though her responsibilities are equal
to those of man, she is expected 10 supply
all her wants and perform all her duties
upon the miserable pittaDce which the
reaper leaves behind him rs unworthy "
be gathered. Such is the Justice, such the
kindness Of man to woman. 1t may be ad-
mitsed that man 10 gentle and affecsionate
to those of the other sex who may pc reIat-
ed to him. Stfange IL he were not. How
unnatural would be the ingratitude that
would requi,e a mothcrfs pains. wife's
solicitude, . sisters tenderness, with harsh
ness. How strangely cold and bear tess
must be the bosom which, NOT only insen-
sibie to the loyeliness, gentleness, and pn-
rity Of woman, should also prove alien even
to the ties ofmsture. Man has not been
thus unnatural, for the necessities Of his
being forbid it. But what has he done Tor
that portion Of the sex Disconnected with
himself-,hs lone, the friendless Z what
support or encouraged does the widow.
