WOman's Influence.

Perhaps there IS nothing which has
ever been put into operation, for the
purpose of %elevating and refining
man, capable of exerting more bene.
fetal effects than the influence oil
woman. when directed by a skilful
hand. Their influence exerts a saw
ing power, when every thing else
human fails. There is something Ia
the nature of man. which causes him
TO respect the softer sex; and a de-
sire to appear to advantage in their
society & gain the appreciation of re-
fined and cultivated females, leads us
to lay aside coarseness and vulgarity,
and assumes an air Of gentleness and
respect when in their society. As
we look around upon the circle of
our acquaintance, we cannot think of
n who has been in the habit of
mingling in the society of virtuous
and intelligent ladies, near his own
age, who has not become 4 respect
able and useful member of society;
and on the other hand, we fail to rec
ollect an instance where a young mar
has forsaken the society of females
altogether, who has not fallen into
some vice. and possessed but Il very
limited Influence, for the good of So
ciety. What we mean, is entirely
distinct from that fawning, NONSENSE
cal intercourse which Is often indul-
ged in by both sexes, when in each
others society. This is worse than
entire seclusion, and females of worth
and intelligence will never stoop to
take a part in such scenes and young
men will feel i'll at ease if engaged in
some f~oolishness, when in their pres.
ence. II is the virtuous, high minded
lady, of deep healthy-toned principle,

THE BETROTHED.

When my heart and hand were free;
When no other claimed the duty
Which my soul would yield to thee;
Had | wooed thee.-had | won thee
Oh! how blcst had been my fate.
But thy sweetness hath unione me-
I have found thee-but too late.
For to one my VOWS were plighted
With faltering lip and pale;
Hands our cruel sires united
Hearts wore deemed of slight avail.
Thus my youths bright morn o'ershadsd,
Thus betrothed to wealth-and state.
All loves own sweet prospect faded

Like the fawn that finds the fountain
With the arrow in his breast,
Or like light upon the mountain
Where the snow must ever rest
Thou hast known me-but forget me.
For l feel what ills await;
Oh. It's madness TO have met thee
To have found thee--but too lato!

Electrical DischargeS.-The New
York Sun says the danger Of keeping
up fires during the thunder storms
consists simply in the fact, that
smoke and rarefed air form indirectly

fluid, but seldom being Of the requisite
capacity TO draw the electricity of

mines the course of a discharge.
which under these circumstances, too
often proves fatal in its effects. 1t
may be observed, however, that a
combination of fires will generally
draw the electricity from a cloud ST.
lently, however highly charged; thus,
a discharge isof very rare occurrence
over any of our large manufacturing
towns; the reason of which is obvi-
Gus. Further more, 4 large fire will,
under ordinary circumstances. pro-
duce a similar effect. The magnif-
cent electrical display over the great
fire in Delaney street was observed
by many of our citizens though at a
considerable disadvantage. owing 10

highly charged cloud was thus exaus,
