WOman's Patience,

How strange that ,he1 patience Of Job

there are so many mothers in the
world, whose patience equals, il il doe.

have done had he been compelled TO sit in
the house and sew and knit, and nurse The
children, and see that hundreds OF things
were attended to during the day. and hear
children cry, fret, and complain ! Or
how would he have stood it if like some
poor women, he had been obliged TO rear
a family OF ten or twelve children. wiIhou'
help, spending months, years-all the
prime Of life-in washing, securing, scrub
ing, ,nending, cooking. nursing children,
fastened TO the house and his offspring
from morning till night, and from night
ill morning, sick or well, in storm or sun
shine, his nights often rendered miserable
BY watching over his children q. How
could he have stood all this, and, in addi
ton TO all other troubles, the curses, and
even violence of drunken companion !!
How could he:have felt after wearing out
his very existence for his tender offspring
and worthless companion TO be abused
and blamed Job endured his tolls and
losses very well for aistort time. but they
did not endure long enough 10 test the

has more patience than Job; and. instead

Land Monopoly.

Hitherto The ma orIy Of mankind who
have TILED the earth, have been slaves or
leIanls. The soil has been owned by kings,
and the military chieilains and mobiles. and
by them rented 10 landlords, and by them
10 still smaller dealers, and by these again
j, has been divided and sub-divided, until
The majority who have paid, sustained by
the sweat OF their brow, MOI only their own
iunilies, bu: three or four orders Of society
above them while they themselves have
been crushed beneath the weight, and have
lived on the borders of starvation the
sickness ola week, and often a single day,
rendering them paupers.
The sane monopoly lthe soil has sent
another large class of the community into
manufacturing establishments, to work ou,
their days in ignorance and hopeless pow
cry; and another 10 the army and navy,
where honor and wealth await a few and
ignorance and an early grave the many.
The consequence Of excluding such mem.
bers from The position and the bealihIu
cultivation Of The soil, has been ignorance,
reckless indifference, turbulence, ,and crime
Tortured by their Impressions and unre-
strained by moral prlnciple,lhey have been
prepared for desperate deeds. Such a state
of society can not be made happy; the evil
is radical, and can only be remedied by
giving new direction 10 The pbyslcaI, mo-
raj, and intellectual energies Of man. We
might as we'll band with iron the The trees
Of the forest, and expect their expansion.
or throw upon them in stin,ed measure the
light and rain Of heaven, and expect their
luxuriant growth, as TO cramp the human
mind by unequal institutions, and expect
the development Of its resources in hap
py state Of society. Room for action must
be afforded, and light must be poured upon
the understanding, and motive pressed upon
the heart Bu,to accomplisb,his The earth
mus, be owned BY those who will till it.
This will give action 10 industry, vigor
TO the body, tone 10 The mind, and, by al.
iendant blessing Of heaven, religion 10 the
heart. From agriculture, stimulated by
personal rights, will result commssce. sci
ence. arts. liberty, and independence.
The attraction Of gravity is the grea
principle Of motion in the material world
and The possession Of the earth in fee sim
pie by the cul,ivator is the great principle
Of action in The moral world. Nearly al
the political evils which have afflicted man
kind have resulted from The unrighteou
monopoly Of the earth ; and the Predicle'
renovation can never be accomplished un
I'll this monopoly shall have passed away
and the earth is extensively titled by tn,

SHINE AND SHADOW.-BY J. Il. BARRl
The sunshine hath shadow
And the starlight hath shade;
There's no type in ar; Ike nature,
But an antitype hath made.
The sky may be all azure,
With its canopy serene,
But cloud will come unbidden
On the glory Of the scene.
The moon may be OF silver
And the stars of golden light
But speck will dim their beauty.
In the quiet, holy night;
And our lives are changing ever
Like the epring.time of the year:
Sometimes all is April sunshine.
Then again It's dark and drear.
We have our dreams of pleasure,
And our moments fraught with PAIN
The day may dawn all lovely,
Then put on its gloom again;
We have our dreams OF rapture
Ours bliss none else may feel
BUT the mournful hue of sorrow,
Ger the lghtest brow will steal.
Wehaye our dreams of gladness--
we have waking dreams ofcarc;
There are hours of kindly greeting.
Then again no JOY TO share.
Sometimes life is all sunshine.
Sometimes all gloomy shade:
There's no type In art like nature,
But an antitype hath made.
We have thoughts that soar far upward,
In a free born, glorious air;
We have spirits light as fancies,
To commune with angels there:
Sometimes tides Of bitter feeling,
Der the inmost spirit roll
Then again some wave of rapture.
Breaks across the Swallowed soul,
When the heart is freest, lightest,
Like bird on summers wing
When the spirit basks in gladness,
Then II will with sadness sing;
When upon the brow of summer
Angry storms and tempests rise.
Then anon unfolds the rainbow,
And appear the smiling skies
