ST PAUL MINNESOTA TERRITORY THURSDAY,

grown servants, to every animated being in
his patriarchal household. Her dread OF
separation is paramount over all consIdera-
tions of her husbands interest or her chill
dren's preferment. She is a creature of I'M
pulse, all remonstrances of reason break
against the stormy tide of her love.
A woman in Italy is seldom a forward
character. "Corinne'' is French creation.
An authoress in Italy, or an actress, is be-
ing apart. Female authorship in that coun-
try is kind of anomaly; sort of hernia
phrodism. Woman there is trained to
shrink from the open air and the public
gaze; she is no rider; never in at the death
At "a fox-hunt; no hand at the whip if her
life depended on it; she never kept stall
lat fancy fair; never took the lead at de-
batting club; she never addresses stranger
except, perhaps. behind mask in carnival;
her politics are limited to wearing tri-coler-
ed ribbons, and refusing an Austrian's hand
as partner in waltzing; she is Ounce,
aud makes 10 mystery of it; coward, and
glories in tat least she keeps her accom-
plishmenss for her domestic circle, her NOR.
al courage for those rare instances in which
affection calls forth the latent energies of
her better nature.
Finally, an Italian woman is never intol-
Grant. She INDUCES in no invectiveS against
the frail and unfortunate of her sex. There
is not grain Of ostentation in her virtue,
not scruple of pharisasm in her religion.
There is no humbug about her. She judg-
es not, lest she be judged. Disguised with
the chit-chat Of slanderous community
she disbeGeves every word uttered to her
friends disparagement; she sets public
opinion at defiance, and screens its victim
with all the egis of her unpolluted fame.
She is woman, in short; thing OF feel
ing and inpulse-a rib, mere dependence
on mana subject only in the first stage of
enfranch isement from, the utter slavery of
the ancient gyneceum. Satisfied with her
moral influence, she has not yet aspired to
chartered rights. She is far from the ra-
tional dignity of freeborn Englshwoman;
but the latter, again, has hardly yet risen to
the queenly independence of an American
she citizen.
Such are the ranks progressively occupied
by the sex on each successive step of civil
cation. At Cairo, woman is an idolized
slave; at Milan or Florence, a cherished
article of domestic chattles; in London, a
reasoning, perhaps sometimes even an argu-
ing associate; in New York, she is an equal,
and more often all aggravatlng, overbearlng
confederate''

The Way to get Married.

II is easy to get married, but not to get
married happily. The very means adopted
by TOO many young ladies, are destructive
of solid happiness. Fordyce has issued
some remarkable instructions on this point.
He says:
"Wh young WOMAN behaves to her
parents particularly tender and respectful,
from principle as well as nature, there is
nothing good and gentle that may not be
expected from her in whatever condition
she is placed. Were | to advise any friend
as to his choice. of wife, my first counsel
would be, 'look out for one distinguished
by her attention and sweetness to her Pa-
rents.' The fund Of worth and affection
indicated By such behavior, joined to the
habits Of duty and consideration thereby
contracted, being transferred to this state,
will not fail to render her mild and o5lig-
ing companion"
