and conscience guide to the only path of hap
piness, and if affection will gain hold on
those powerful principles, which can be at
tanned no other way, what high and holy mo-
tives are presented to woman. for cultivating
her noblest powers.
The Development of the reasoning facul-
ties, the facination of the purified imaginu-
ton, the charms of cultivated taste, the quick
perceptions of an active mind, the power of
exhibiting truth and reasons by perspicuous
and animated conversation and writing, all
these can be employed by woman as much as
by man.
And with those attainable faculties for gain
ing influence, woman has already received from
the hand of her maker those warm affections
and quick susceptibilities. which can most
surely gain the empire of the heart.
Woman has never walked to her highest des-
TIMES and hottest hopes. She has yet to learn
the purifying and blessed influence she may
yet gain an maintain over the intellect and af-
fections of the human mind. Though she may
net teach from the portico, nor thundor from
the forum, in her secret retirements she may
form and send forth the sages that renovate the
world.
Though she may not grid herself for the
bloody conflict, nor sound the trumpet of war,
she may enwrap herself in the panoply OF
Heaven; and send the thrill of benevolence
throughout q thousand youthful hearts. Though
she may not enter the lists in legal collision
nor sharpen her intellect amid the passions
and conflicts of men, she may teach the law
of kindness, and hush up the discords and con-
1icts of life.
Though she may not be clothed as the am
bassador of Heaven, nor minister at the altar
of God; as secret angel of Mercy she may
teach its will and cause to ascend the humble
but most accepted sacrifice.

Scenery on the Wisconsin.

A writer in the Wisconsin Inquirer, says
the name of the river Wisconsin, is .seviden:
" French corruption of the Indian word,
Wah-hoo-se-rah-, which signifies place where
councils are held.''' He gives the following
account Of the scenery of its banks and chan
mel:

A FRAGMENT.


She was bright and beautiful being; such
dimmed the radiance of her eye or shadowed
the lightness of that brow swhere love sat en-
throned, she seemed like the habtant of
some far off cline of sunny skies and spark
ling fountains, where song-birds spsrt amid
the sweet air, and carol forth their music from
the invisible spirit of joyousness-and loved
her: How wildly loved that girl.
We met again when was in the dawn of ex
istence, when life was all spring-time and
flowers, and the stream of time went laughing
ingly on amid sthe violet banks'--scarce arp
pie disturbed the calmness of its waves,

was the name that fingered to bring me de-
light whenever it was uttered; instinctively it
touched the chords of memory, and the sounds
of melody they emitted, breathed a sweeter
charm than that which drew the warrior to
the tented field to battle in the cause of Lady
Love- The charm was IDA! Apart from
the sunlight of her influence, the world held
no pal or share in my affections, they were all
treasured in thee. No dream of my youth
that in thee was not personifed. My widest
hopes and wishes, my deepest draught of fan
cy, were all realized and fulfilled. In Thee j

Female Influence.

The following striking and eloquent remarks
are from Suggestions on education,' by Cath
arine f. Beecher.
"Woman has been little aware of the high
indictments that should stimulate TO the cul-
tivation of her noblest powers. The world is
no longer to be governed by physical force, but
by the influence which mir exerts over mind.
How are the great springs of action in the POI
litical world put in motion. Often by the Sc
cret workings of single mind, that in re-
tirement plans its schemes, and comes forth
to execute them only by presenting motives of
prejudice, passion, self-interest or pride, to
operate on minds.
Now the world is chiefly governed by mo-
tiVes that men are cshauaed to oion. When
do we find mankind acknowledging that their
efforts in political life are the offspring of
pride, and the desire of self-agg randizement,
and yet who hesitates to believe this is true.
But there is a class of motives that men are
not only willing but proud to own.
Man does not willingly yield to force; he Is
ashamed to own he can yield to fear; he will
not acknowledge his motives of pride, preiu.
dice and passion. Bnt. none are unwilling to
own that they can be governed by reason, the
worst will boast of being regulated by con-
science, and where is the person is ashamed
to own the influence of the kind and generous
emotions of the heart Here, then, is the on.
~ awful ambition of our sex. Woman in all
her relations, is bound 10 'bopor and obey
those upon whom she depends for protection
and support, nor does the truly feminine mind
desire to exceed this Limitation Of Heaven
But where the dictates OF. authority m ay new
er control, the voice of reason and affection
may ever convince and persuade; aud while
others govern BY motives that. mankind are
ashamed to own, the dominion Of Il oman may
ne based on influences that the heart is proud
to acknowledge.

the inquiry from the following fact, which
is before us, and which we venture to lay
before the public:
Year before last, Mr.. John Smiley,
farmer in the northern part of Augusta,
noticed upon some of the stalks of the
gillifower, which the female members of
his family had cultivated in a flower pot,
some protuberance or excrescence like
warts, about the size of peas. They ap-
peared perfectly formed and living sub
stances, resembling the seed that project
from the stalk of that dubious flower,
known as the tiger lilly. Every body IS
acquainted with the gillyflower, as com
mon animal plant, resembling the pink in
size and flower. Curiosity led me topre-
serve these excresences- they were the
natural seeds-and plant them In the
following spring. One ofhis neighbors
also took a portion of them and did the
same. Two or three came up and attain
ed maturity; the product was over half a
peck ofgood sized and very handsome po-
tatoes! These were preserved and plant
ed last spring; they grew vigorously and
the result was ebout three bushels of a
new sort of real potatoes. The potato is
of oblong form, smooth face, mostly white,
mixed occasionally with purple. Mr..
Hutchings of the Augusta House, has
cooked some ofthem and pronouncest them
superior. They may be a variety worth
cultivating; but the mystery in our mind
| is, that they should have been the product
of the giIlyflower. Was that the way po-
tatoes first Gamer

From Tie Louisville Journal.


To foreigner, imperfectly acquainted
with the institutions of this country, the
wing triumphs, daily announced in our
paper, must appear little less than miracles.
These victories speak gloriously for our
country, and stamp republicanism with a
seal of perpetllity as cheering to the wor-
shipper of freedom as it is blasting to the
hopes of the iron hearted tyrant. They
show stern, infexibIe, unconquerable
spirit ofliberty in our countrymen, spi-
rit which power cannot awe, deceit betray,
or infatuation mislead They show that
despair should never benumb the energies
or chill the heart of patriot.
The power ofmoney, that power which
a great philosopher has called 'universal,'
was exerted against us to degree almost
incredible. Officers were subsidized; par
tisans were taxed; the treasury stretched
forward its immense arm to replace the
leader of despotic faction in his abused
-forgeries were perpetrated that would

SONG, BY TRoHvERE.
Inscribed TO Hiss II. E. b., Of Virginia.
Oh! come to the South love, Oh! come there
with me,
Where soft zephyrs sigh from balmy blue
A land where the fair rose of spring never
dies,
And the deep azure brightness n 'er fades from
the skies:
IT'S cline where loves thrilling .rapture's
can tell
How pure and how lasting in the heart they
may dwell.
Odors are waited from oceans bright isles,
AS sweet as the light of thy own beaming
smiles:
The orange and laurel, and ivy's green bow'rs,
Perumed by the breath of the still-blooming
fow'rs,
Infuse the charmd soul with so calm delight,
No visions but rapture ere dawn on the sight.
How family the gems from the wild glaciers
glow,
And cold is the iris on mou ntains of snow,
But The stess tf the South encha 1tinSy ils
And ey,ea's sunny Ugh: makes all beautiful
there;-
Not the bright icy regions ~ Inc golden West'
Is like the radient south-the falI'es.; Inc Oes'
Come then with me love, and the beam of thine
eye
Will add new lustre to the rich azure sky;
From thy own joyous face the look and the
smile
Will ev'ry fond hour of existence begule;-
oh! come to the South, and our urdying love
Shall be nurtur'd through time, and lie cher
