DUTIES OF WOMEN TO THEIR
COUNTRY.

The shelter and protection Of a free gov
nm also demand awakened and grateful
energies. Since its welfare is involved in
the virtue and intelligence of its subjects,
the character and habits of every member of
lie great family, are of importance. | imag-
inc that | hear from the lips of some Of the
young and ~sprightiy of my sex, the inquiry,
|'Why need we concern ourselves in the af-
fairs of politicians? what share have we in
the destinies Of our country" The same
share that the rilI has in the r%ivulet, and riv-
ulet in the sea. Should every little stream
let tarry at the fountain head, where would
be the river that dispenses the fertility-the
ocean, bearing commerce and wealth upon
its never ending tide. Woman possesses an
agency which the ancient republics never
discovered. The young fountains of the
mind are given in charge TO her. She can
tInge them with sweetness. or bitterness, ere
they have chosen the channels where TO flow,
or learned to murmur their story TO the time

shipper of wisdom, neglected 10 appreciate
the value of the feeble sex, or TO believe thai
they who had the moulding of the whole
mass of mind in its first formation, might help
to inluse a principle Of permanence into ma
tional existence. Rome in her w~olfnursed
greatness, in her fierce democracy, in the
corruption of her imperial purple, despised
the moral strength that lay hidden under
physical weakness. But our country has
conceded every thing, the blessings of edu.
cation, the equality of companionship, the
luxury of benevolence, the confidence of
culturer's Office to those young buds of be-
ing, in whom is her wealth and her hope
What does she require of our sex in return
for these courtesies? Has she not a right tc
expect that we give our hands to every cause
of peace and truth-that we nurse the plant:
of temperance and purity-that we frown or
every inroad of disorder and vice-that we
labor in all places where our lot may be cast
as a gentle-teacher of wisdom and charity
and that we hold ourselves, in domestic pri
vacy, the guardians of those principles which
the sage defends in the halls of legislation
and the priests of Jehovah upon the walls Q
Zion.

WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO WITH
THEIR BOYS?

MANY parents have sons, whom, when they
arrive at years of discretion, that are uncer-
tain what to do with. For instance, a res
pectable mechanic has a good, stout, hearty,
we'll disposed son, whom he wishes TO bring
up respectfully. If he is in easy circum-
stances, he some how or other seems 10
-A-;ak that his son must be brought up 10 some
higher business than a mechanic. He there
fore concludes that he must send him to col
Iege and make him a lawyer, a doctor, or a
CLERGYMAN, and the honest, well-meaning pa
rent labors hard to earn money TO pay the ex-
II of a collegiate educatlan for the pur-
pose of making him respectable, 10 make
him take a higher rank in the world than that
of a mechanic. Here is a great mistake
When the boy leaves college, what is he TO
do? He. is then Just qualified for nothing.
He turns pedagogue for a while. lie beats
learning into the youthful progeny; but few,
very few, think of pursuing tue business OF a
schoolmaster as a permanent pfoiesston.-
After continuing it for a year or two, he quits
if. and the study OF one oil the
learned professions. Here are three or four
wears spent in preparing TO become a pro-
fe%ssionaI man, and at additional expense TO
his father. He at last is admitted TO the
bar. or receives a degree of M. d.. or is H.
censed to preach. The x thing is to get
a living by the profession he has chosen,
and this is not so easy a matter.
All the learned professions are full TO over
flowing, and there seems TO be no room for
new beginners. The consequence is, that
the young aspirants for eminence drags
along without getting business enough to
nav the rent of an office. Year after year
he tolls, or would toll, if he had any thing
TO do, without making ha lfenough 10 pay the
re~ntofan Office. To be sure, there are some
whose superior intellect and commanding
talents will enable them TO rise at once to
eminence and TO command a business which
will render them independent; but these
cases are few and far between.
When such do occur, the superiority OF
mental power will shine out beforehand, and
should be ffostered. But the propensities
which some mechanics have o bringing their
sons up at college TO make them more res
pectable, we think to be a great error. 1t IS
%iniuring his sons more than benefting him.

GENTLEMEN NEVER sWEAR.n

So said Washington, who, we believe, new
or would allow profane swearing in his pre-
sence orin his hearing, while in command
of the army of the Revolution.
OF course Washington did not mean that
boys could not swear, and yet be very fine
young gentlemen. What looks more inter-
esting than TO see a boy just out ofhis diapers
putting away at a"long line" and every now
and then rolling out a good round oath? To
deny these promising Juveniles the privilege
of swearing, would be TO deprive them OF
their strongest evidence of manhood, and
for ever blast their prospects of being gen.
tlemen. If Washington had lived in our
refined and Enlightened day, he would have
better understood what constituted gentle
men. He wouldithen probably have said
that there is no necessity for gentlemen to
swear, but if boys don't swear, no body will
ever know that they are gentlemen.

Weighed at the scales at West Poin

1t appears from the above, that the average
weight of these eleven distinguished revolu-
tionary officers was2I4 pounds. The heav-
lest weight having been Gen. Knox, who
weighed $50 pounds, and the lightest Gen.
Huntington who weighed 1872 pounds. 1t is
somewhat singular that the biographers Of
eminent men ever, unless under circum-
stances ola peculiar character, record the
weight OF dimensions of the clay tenements
which were the abodes of their immortal
spirits.

he is Just fitted for-whai? He. spent the
best part OF his youthful days in qualifying
himself for a profession from which he can
not gain a living, or at least a very scanty
one.
In our humble opinion. as the professions
now are, we should say to mechanics, and
indeed to professional men, in ninety-nne
cases out Of a hundred, give your sons a
good education and then putthem as appren-
tees TO some respectable business. They
will then assoon as their apprenticeship is
expired, be independent, capable of earning
an honest living al once. The profession of
a mechanic is dailybecoming more andfnore
respectable, thanks 10 the good sense aud
good judgement of the present age; and it
can no longer be thrown cut as a mark of re-
proach, you are mechanic. 1t is, on the con-
trary. an honor.
As The question has been recently discus
sed among few mechanics, what they should
do with sous, we would repeat, give them a
good education and. then bring them up as
mechanics or farmers, if you wish TO insure
them a comfortable, honorable and indepea-
deaf living and station in society.
