Female influence has often been de-
scanted upon; but seldom considered in
its best relations upon the destiny of man
In nothing that concerns human happi-
ness is there so much false estimate and
deluslon, as upon this topic; in which the
heart and the understanding occupy so
large space. The poet, inspired by the
charms Of beauty. through the medium Of
a vivid Imagination, chaunts in melodious
strains the song of love; yet perhaps, this
Identical poet is at the same time one who
degrades the sex he SO economically pro-
lesses to adore, by treating them as a
mere physical appliance to his passing
pleasures; and before he arrives at the
third slanza Of his ballad, or his sonnet
he exposes the cloren foot, by an image
that reveals his estimate of their impor-
lance, and his ''bottle" and his "beauty"
stand in the same class of rational beings;
or, in other words, he appreciates women
as he does wine-and having exhausted
his fancy of al few verses. kindIed by the
etlervesccnce of lubricty, he leaves at
home wife and three children, to repose
on the bosom of mistress, who consti-
tu'es the 1dcal of his amatory songs.
Few of the miseries, and still fewer of
the wees and crimes of society, but may
be traced to the false position which wo-
man has been compelled unjustly TO oc-
cupy, by the arrogan. superiority of man.
Like a child in his hands, she has at one
period ofthe WORLD been made slape to
his power; at another, a Stare to his fan
cy-at another, slave to his passions
and at another, a slave to his pride; but
always slave-always viclim-alwavs

absorbing passions.

piness of woman.
Love is holy, sublime, delicious
sentiment; and Of all our passions, or in
deed all our emotions Of pure intellect,
exals us nearer to heaven nearer to per-

''Social conversation between the sexes
is certainly attended with much real plea
sure, and might be highly profitable and
edliylng when properly conducted; when
subjects CT real utility are selected as the
foundation for conversation: but unlorlu-
nately The prevailing desire of the present
time seems to be 10 converse upon mat
ters OF friyollity and nonsense of the
merest "wishy washy" character, discus
sing the claims o: this or that lady or gen
tleman to be called handsome or ugly;
such an-one's ''foot, mouth, nose. eye,
hair" Sc; this lady's bonnet or dress, or
the other gentleman's apparel; matrimonl-
al engagements; or expected marriages;
who such-an-one is waiting on; love
scrapes; "Mr Contention' ill uses his
wife; "Nlrs. lnsubordinate" keeps her hus-
band under control; such a family are
poor; ''can't get Ralong," '.don't like the
preacher" although incompetent to
judge;) discussions of balls. parties, en-
gagements, marriages, together with nu-
merous other insignificant, and in some
instances poisonous matters, are discussed
freely, without any regard to moral and
mental improvement.
Who has not had the unenviable salts
faction Of being present at one of those
modern gatherings of gentlemen and la
dies, usually denominated parties? bu,
which might, from the peculiar nature OF
the entertainment on such occasions, be
with greater propriety called Sister
Phebe's," or slip pressing matches?"-
Whose heart has not been thrilled, not
with extaclic emotions of pleasure, but
with unutterable disgust, amid crowded
assembly, at an evenings entertainment
while promenading the srlendidly lighted
parlor 10 the tune of
ooh sister Phebo, how happy were we,
When we sat under the juniper tree,
The juniper tree, heigho'"
And how was that disgust augmented,
and how was indignation enkindled, when
in the continuance of the Phebean strain,
the words. take sweet kiss, it will do
no harm," fell upon the car, accompanied
with the action; and the modest. blushing,
timid lady whose heart inwardly revolled
at the ridiculous practice, was compelled
to expose her ruby lips to the contact of
every tobacco polluted mouth that hap
pened to be present. Thanks to the
spirit of the age; Phebean era, with all its
vulgarilles, is rapidly passing away; and
instead of engaging in such childish, de-
moralizing and indecent pastimes, men and
women are learning to employ their even
ing hours at fashionable entertainments
in a manner more becoming rational be-
ings."

Autumn Flowers.

Those few pale Autumn flowers!
How beautiful they are!
Than all that went before,
Than all the summer store,
How lovelicr far
And why;-thcy are the last
The laSt!-the ldst-the last
O, by that little word,
How many thoughts are stirr'd.
That sister Of the past
Pale howers.-pale pcrishng nowersl
le're types ofpreclons things;
Types of those bitter moments
That fit, llte's enjoyments,
On rapid. rapid wings.
Last hours with parting dear oncs,
(That tine the fastest specds,)
Last tears, in silence shed,
Last words, haltuttGrcd,
Last words of dying friends.
Who would but fain compress
A life into day;
The last day spent with one,
Who ere the morning sun,
Must leave us, and tor aye'
o, precious, precious moments,
Pale flowers, ye're typcsof those
The saddest sweetest dearest!
Because, like those, the nearest
To an eternal close
Pale flowers Pale perishing flowers;
woo your gentle breath;
leave the summer rose
For younger, blithcr brows,
Tell me of change and death!
