Women Of The Olden Times.

An eloquent writer in the Ladies Wes-
tern Magasine,hits oathe false sentiment
of modern society in relation to the gen
tie sex, and among many other good
things, says:
"The same qualities that blessed the
rude mountain homes of the olden time,
when women made their simple toilet
by the mirroring waters, must make them
blessed now. The qualities that could
make home anywhere, even in the how
ell that stars shone through at night-the
heart that infused soul into the "for
better and for worse" ofthe ceremonial
the rare Jewels Of virtue and contentmeut
that adorn her every day like BRIDE
the willing sacrificer off thousand pres
ent pleasures, to the common good-the
brig intelligence that can interest, ifit
cannot guide-the gentleness that can
soothe, ifit cannot share-the sympathy
that supports while it seems itselfto cliag.
She who possesses these, must possess
loveliness aud grace that will survive the
FURNISHED tress, the rounded form, apd
the cloudless eyes of youth. Let the ac-
complishments ofthe boardiDg-school and
parlor have place, but not THE place
The fashionable crush of the Assembly
the blaze Of the soiree, the splendor oi
the levee, have much to do with the COL
oriag oflife--little with its warp or woof
That may fade, this will wear on, In
fabric so rich and rare as life's-in selec-
ting an array that we must live in, love
in, perchance suffer in, and that will as
suredly be drawn around US, when al
last we lie down to pleasant dreams,
how opposite the question, are tie col
ors tastl" Thus was it that the minds
and hearts Of the wives and mothers oI
other. days were moulded-hearts thai
dilated to the fullest pulsation of cur bet
ter nature-minds that left their noble
impress upon those who should do and
suffer in the field of life. Old-fashionec
mothers have nearly all passed ava!
with the blue check and homespun wool
en- ofa simpler but purer time. Here
and there one remains truly accomplish
ed in heart and life for the sphere o
home. Old-fashioned mothers! Goo

HoRRID OUTRAGE IN THE CHEROKEE
NATIoN!-Ou the night ofthe 9th instant
about twelve o'clock. several men broke
into the room of the Cherokee Agent, at
the agency, and beat the Hon. R. C. S.
Brown with an axe or clubs. wounded
aud bruised him SO much that his life is
dispaired of. The villains no doubt in
tended TO rob him as he had lately taken
up several thousand dollars to pay off the
claims Of the treaty. They left the agent
lifeless upon the floor, and were fright
ened offby the persons who were sleep
ing in an adjoining house, and we're ava
kened by the noise in the room of the
agent, while the fends were beating their
victim. Judge Brown it is thought, will
recover. Three of the villains had been
arrested; one a soldier, one a negro, and
a fellow by the name of Lacy, who is
neither white, Indian, nor negro, but a
little of each.

A Gem.

A man possesses an extremely low
and Govelling mind who rejoices at the
downfall Of another. A noble heart in.
stead of denouncing as a consummate
scoundrel one who has erred, will throw
around him the mantle Of charity and the
arms Of love, and labor to bring him back
to duty and to God. We are not our
own keepers. Who knows when we
shall so far forget ourselves as TO put forth
Alright hand and sinl Heaven keep US
in the narrow path But if we should
fall, it would be the end Of our course. if
in every face we saw frown, and on eve
ry brow we read vengeance! Deeper
and deeper would we descend in the path
ofinfamy; when ifa different course we're
pursued, and if a different spirit were
manifested towards us, we might have
stayed our career of sin, and died an up
right and honest man.
Deal gently with those who stray. A
kiss is worth thousand kicks. A kind
word is more valuable to be lost than a
mine Of gold. Think Of this, and be on
your guard. ye who would chase to the
confines of The grave an erring brother.-
