clever by antalizing their wives some, unpossessed
of feeling themselves, may not understand hoy vile

meet TO know and remember this there is no greater
crime than TO take woman from her fathers hearth,
where she stood in blooming independence, to load
her with the cares Of family and then to tranple on
her hopes, by proving that be is better than those
for whom she never cared or sighed that he is no
worther than those who forgotten in her dreams,

Prison LIFE.-In the United States Gazette we
end very interesting account of a visit to the
Eastern Penitentiary, from il we clip passage or
two Of true poetry:
1--WE heard the cry of an infant in this gallery.
The poor little had grown weary of the quiet Of
It's mothers cell, It's birth place, and its home, and
like S.erne's starting, 1t trying to get cut. AT
length the door moved the gate opened and STOPPING
beneath the low Intel the kind matron of the depart
ment came forth with the little prisoner The tears
were soon dried. The little trGreHer looked abroad
upon the gallery, as if it were world of distance,
capped its hands In Joy at its release and seemed to
smile pRans Of triumph at Its achievement and all its
little endearments told Of satisfaction She was be-
coming ''pet of the Prison."
Plants Of remarkable growth, with flowers of ex-
ceeding beauty, are cultivated from seed which the
prisoners pick from the South American wool which
they are cleaning in the factory.
In several of the cells we saw plants growing out
of some extemporaneous box, with a little earth
coaxed into Its narrow confines One colored man
had festooned his room with the running Mexican
plant whose bulb was stuck into little earth rolled
up In piece Of thick pastebOard, while the branches
were carried round the arch of his cell with wonder
full taste. The leaves of course lacked the thick,
eshy consistency, and the dark, brilliant green of
tie outdoor cultivation, but they served TO decorate
the cell with the appearance of life, and the poor fe
low followed eyes along the branches of the plant
with little pride IN the Of his effort, and al
most gratitude for the sympathy which VIC had exhi-
bited in his horticultural success.

The EJECT OF FEAR IS i MORAL AGENT.-Ihe
fear Of punishment may certainly produce sorrow and
pcnitence Strong apprehensons of future evil, coin
Gliding with present distress, may force into a
change of conduct and the satisfaction arising from
the change may indnce them to persevere sufficient
time to prevent relapse; but this Is barely posi-
bity. Fear produces only temporary efects-it pro
duces a species of sorrow, and occasions restraint,
but never influences the inclination habit. Three
vices incident to all educated youth are, falsehood in
trigue, and dishonesty, respecting property, and
which may be discovered to have arisen from the re-
strans o poverty, the irudcious authority OF par
en;s and monitors. The power of laws over poverty
of austere parents and tutors Of Children may I'M
press fear or terror without materially affecting the
vicious dispositions which are gratihed by deceit.
The first practices of youth the first efficient les
sons of their education their first suffering inures
their minds TO pain and punishment, and they gradu-
ally improve in ortitude and caousness, until their
virtues or vices are established in habits This may
account for the risks they run without apprehension,
or the CELEBRITY with which they recover from circum-
stances of shame and humiliation.
1t is commonly observed that the vices of falsehood,
intrigue, and fraud, are incurable. We generally
have. recourse to power and terror, which are the
of the evils; and they do not rghten man
out of the vice. and deprive him of the inclination to
return to it. they blunt hssensibity improve his art
fee, and secure him in his practice. Severity of
punishment increases that mcanness which Is the orr
gin of deceit, induces greater caution In future at
tempts, and occasions Improvements in the secret
practices of vice. The best effect ever produced by
such means is the acquisition of outward decency In
the operations of wickedness. The fear Of pain or
reproach have given them caution and dexssrity in
tie practice CT We.

FEMALE EDUcATIov.-An excellent article OH this

Houston, Miss 1t is from the pen Of lady. We
make the following extract:
Persons in good circumstances then, are surely

from the existing Tariff The West is com :
PEELED in supplying its foreign customers
with products, 10 encounter formidable and
in many cases triumphant rivalry from oiher
foreign States. In every article we expo
rience the competition of continental Europe,
particularly the countries Of the Baltic and
Mediterranean. This is an evil not SO much
felt by the South which has but few and dis
tant rivals in tropical productions. Here
then is the West, struggling amid The diff
culties and privations Of recent settlement,
with but little capital, its chief, employment
agriculture, its principal wealth in its labor,
instead of being The object Of political favor,
doomed to encounter the hostility of govern
ment, In its trade, in its industry and its pro-
perty. Instead of deriving aid from the pub
lie resources compelled TO contribute our of
its scanty means, an enormous excess over
IFS proportion 10 the public treasury, and bey-
ond that TO made still vaster contribution
TO swell the wealth of older and richer Sec
| tons. The Wes, has one hundred and
twenty millions of cres of uncultivated land,
werih even now from its availability, through
all the prosecution Of government, more than
twice that number ofdollars, and wanting but
small proportion Of active capital 10 culi-
vate it, to render it, of comfort and enjoy
ment, the most productive investment in the
world at five times that valHo, ,--yet govern
ment, itself an extensive proprietor, bestows
enormous bounties for the attraction and de-
tention of capital 10 manufacturing pursuits,
in which millions of men and money are al
ready engaged in the old world at starvation
wages and bankrupt profits Every invest
ment now made in the teeming acres and
focks of the West, extends in geometrcal
progression the circle Of cultivation and pro-
duction, so as to trascend the conception Of
avarice. But government repels capital from
such function as this, and plumbers from
these very fields in the eHeesses of its bur
thens, an annual treasure, which although
enormous in itself, is insignificant compared
with the immensiy of what would be its ul.
innate productifpermitied TO act undisturbed
The vast expance of Western soil with a
surface almost unbrokenby mountain or rock,
rich with the debris of ancient floods, and
the fallen foliage Of thousand years, warm
witha sunshine from the cloudless of skies,
yet fresh with the showers and dew that ex-
hale from the most beautiful and majestic
rivers, verdant, fragrant and variegated with
flowers when visited by the zephyrs Of the
Southwest, and shedding its golden trusts in
profusion with the first winds fiom Orc gon,
such is the land from which Government
has undertaken TO divert the footsteps of its
citizens, and the plough of the cultivator,
by taking the produce Of its harvests to endow
the capital of more sterile soil and more,
forbdding cline.

ed oil to which she has been Justly entitled

men have hitherto flowed in other channels, and
she has made but little complaint. But
Westward the star Of Empire takes its way"
and while indifferent TO minor considerations, she
is conscious of her relative Importance, and will
make her influence felt in our foreign negotia-
tons, in support of magnanimous policy, COM
mensurate with the character of her people.
But this flourish Of arms, this continued clouding
of every question with the portents Of war is as
invite asst is uncaled for War with Englan d
is not even probability. Pressed down by financial
burdens which threaten revolution with every
auctuation of trade, England dare not provok q
hostility. firm and unyielding policy on the
part of the American Gov eminent will accom-
plish all that war could effect, without boodshed.
1t is only by course Of disgraceful concession,
the Webster diplOm acy supported by the Mercury.
which can eventuate in ever bringing on thar
direst of human Gala mites. The west desires
no war-nor fears it. The dissolution Of the
Convention of 1918 for mutual occupation Of
Oregon, and the establishment therein Of
a territorial Government on our part, will afford
Great Britain no just grounds on which TO base
hostiities. The direct ia xation which such an
event would cause would bear heavily on tho
West, which now pays large proportion Of the
public burdens, disbursed in the South and East
in the maintenance of the Navy and the erection
of Notifications and harbors. There isno certainty
that tho west would be relieved from the presence
Of war, In our last conflict she wasnot so. Her
Southern market would be destroyed as well as
that Of the Southern Planter, and we doubt very
much whether she would be any great gamer by
the proportion Of her taxes which she would re-
ceyein shape of payment for ARMY provisions.
Notwiths tanding all this-the west demands tho
full maintenance of our National Rights. She
values them higher than to be yielded up to Sc
cure market. Financial considerations are Of
great Importance, bat they are not all absorbing.
and no intelligent Statesman will hold them so.
But we will soon know if the Mercury speaks tho
views of the South on this subject.
