which make up, at all events, tho business

due, not To the man separate as to the wife

MISCELLANEOUS.

SOUTHERN WoMEN.-A letter in the
Boston Chronotype containes the following
lust tribute to our fair citizens. As we
but rarely see the truth SO promptly ex-
pressed relative to any thing belonging to
the South-in that region particularly
we copy it in compliment to all concerned:
ssThe first thing that struck me in regard
to the women at the South was their beau
ty of form-their symmetrical and harmo-
nious figures. In this, and in the ease and
grace Of their motions, they excel Northern
women. Many ofthem dress with exquis-
ite taste-often very richly, but seldom
gaudily, or with any display of tinsel.
The proverbial afability and urbanity of
the Southern character finds the fullest
development in the women. The South
ern lady is naturally and necessarily easy
unembarrassed and polite. You may go
into the country where you please; you
may 90 as far as you please from town,
village and post office; you may call at the
poorest house you can find, and whether
YOU accost maid or matron, you will be an
swered with the same politeness, and treat
ed with the same spontaneous courtesy.
The Port Gibson herald, and correspondent. (Port Gibson, Claiborne Co., Miss.) 1848-18??, 1850-02-15
Dedication.

The following beautiful opening lines are
from Longfellow's new volume, "The Sea
side and the Fireside," and is addressed to, and
will be appreciated by those whose hearts have
beat responsive to the plaintive melodies of his
Tyre. He is true poet, and we envy not those
(or there are some,) who cannot appreciate
him-Ed Herald q. Cores.
AS one who, walking in the twilight gloom,
Hears round about him voices as it darkens,
And seeing not the forms from which they
come,
Pauses from time to time, and turns and
harkens.
So walking here in twilight o my friends!
hear your voices, softened by the distance,
And pause, and turn to listen, as each sends
His words of friendship, comfort and assis-
tance.
If any thought Of mine, or sung or told,
Has ever given delight or consolation,
Ye have repaid me back thousand fold,
By every friendly sign and salutation.
Thanks for the sympathies that ye have shown!
Thanks for each kindly word, each silent
token,
That teaches me, when seeming most alone.
Friends are around me, though no word be
spoken.
Kind messages, that pass from land to land;
Kind letters, that betray the hearts deep
history,
In which we feel the pressure of hand
One touch of fire-and all the rest is mystery!
The pleasant books, that silently among
Our household treasures take familiar places,
And unto us as with living tongue
Speak from the printed leaves or pictured
faces!
/ Perhaps on earth never shall behold,
With eyes of sense your outward form and
semblance;
| Therefore to me ye never will grow old,
| But live for ever young in my remembrance.
Never grow old, nor change, nor pass away!
Your gentle voices will flow on forever,
When life grows bare and tarnished with decay,
AS through a leafess landscape flows a river.
Not change of birth or place has made US
| friends,
Being oftentmes Of different tongues and
nations,
But the endeavor for the saf-same ends,
With the same hopes, and fears, and aspira-
tions.
Therefore hope to join your seaside walk,
Saddened, and mostly silent with emotion;
Not interrupting with instructive talk.
The grand, majestic symphonies of ocean.
Therefore hope, as no unwelcome guest,
At your warm freside, when the lamps are
lighted,
To have my place reserved among the rest,
Nor stand as one unsought and uninyited.
