reverenced by its inhabitants. AS was
the oriental custom, they doubtless in
scribed his name in conspicuous places
on the walls Of the public edifces, and
the inscriptions engraved by Assyrian
hands, thousand years before the Chris
tian era, have been found by Mr.. Lay
ard. This is one of the most extraordi-
nary denominations OF the accuracy Of
biblical history we have ever heard of.
AS yet we have only seen the begin
ming of the end. The city Of Nineveh
has scarcely yet been completed, if Ma
hometan jealousy shall have ever permit
that contamination, we may expect il
lustrations of the prophecies that will
strike the world with awe and wonder.
Great-credit is due to the British Gov
eminent for the muni6cent spirit they
have exhibited in aiding the labor Of Mr..
Layard; placing at his command vessels
for the navigation of the Euphrates,
conveying to England the magnificent
sculptures which he has disentombed,
and affording him every facility which
money or British authority could secure.
We should be glad to see similar spirit
exhibited by the government of this
country, in reference to American antiq-
uities.-NoGh's Sunday Times.

Every American woman should be a.
bove receiving the dictum Of an ignorant
and tasteless dressmaker; she should be
instructed in the anatomy and and phys
iology of her system. and be perfectly
able 10 give correct outline Of classical
figure, and its appropriate dress, on the
blackboard. She should then be inslruc-
ted to cut her own dresses in simple
and elegant manner, adapt them TO her
figure, so that not the least pressure
should exist on any part Of her person.
Indeed, without a good knowledge OF
the pencil and harmony Of colors, her
person and her house will present what
is SO frequent n this day, q grotesque ar
rangement Of dress. suitable for q car
nival or madhouse, and drawing-room
that would pass for furniture store, or
pawn brokers' shop.
So much, in our opinion is due to the
incorrect and servile taste in dress, that
it is one Of the principal causes of the
early decay Of our country ywomen.-
Our climate demands during one third Of
the year absolute warmth and dry feet;

consider themselves disgraced by ap-
pearing in public with dress and shoes

Many Of the physical evils, the inac-
action Of system, the languor and hyste-
rical affections which are SO prevalent
among the delicate young women Of the
present day, may be traced to a want Of
a well-irained mental power and well-ex-
ercised self-control, and to an absence Of
fixed habits Of employment. Real cul-
tivation of the intellect, earnest exercise
Of the moral powers, the enlargement Of
the mind by requirement Of knowledge.
and the strengthening of its capabilities
for effort, the firmness for endurance of
evils, and for energy in combating SO as
to overcome, are the ends which educa-
ton has to attain; weakness, but becomes
infrmity. The power OF the mind over
the body is immense. Let that power
be called forth; let il be trained and exer-
cised, vigor, both of mind and body, will
be the result. There is healthy un-
polished saying, that sit is better to wear
out than to rust out" but it tells a plain
truth, rust consumes faster than USE
Better, million times better, to work

BY MRS. LYDIA JANE PEARSON.


Do not, as you value life and its COM
forts, marry man who is naturally
cruel. II he will wantonly torture a
poor dumb dog, cat, or even snake,
fly from him as you would from the
cholera. We would sooner see our
daughter dying of cholera, than married
TO cruel hearted man. If his nature
delights in torture, he will not spare his
wife, or his helpless children.
When we see man practicing cruelty
on any poor, helpless creature, or beat
ing Traditions horse numerically, we
write over against his name-.Ievil, and
shun him accordingly.
We once knew man, aye, a gentle
man, who, during ride for pleasure,
became SO Economically enraged at his
horse, which refused to 90, that he
sprang from his carriage, drew his knife,
and cut out an eye of the poor BRUTE
The lady who accompanied him tainted.
suffered a long nervous illness, and will
never recover from the horror the outrage
gave. And we knew the young lady
VINO, knowing this of him, was foolhardy
enough to become his wife. And we
know how he tortured her. How he
outraged all her feelings, how he delighted
to destroy whatever she priced, or took
pleasure in. How in his fits of passion
he broke up her furniture, seized her by
the shoulder and shook her till she could
not crawl to bed; how he beat her; how
he kept her poor babe black and blue
with blows and pinches, until her parents
took her home, and sheltered her from
HE cruelty.
IL you have suitor whom you feel
inclined 10 favor, look narrowly into the
temper and disposition Of the man.
Love may soften it for a while, or il
may induce him to restrain, or disguise
il, but, be assured, the natural temper
will remain, and the time will come when
your presence will be no restraint upon
him. We have heard wives complain,
Il was SO deceived in my husband; men
are so deceiiful,' &c. But we believe
in nine cases out of ten, these women
deceived themselves. They suffered
the romance Of their own foolish hearts
to adorn their lover with all the exce,len-
cies which their fancy attributed TO
perfect manly character, and to draw
veil over all his vices and defects, which
if it did not conceal them, greatly soften
ed or disguised their features.
Men are not perfect-women are not
perfect. In all cases, there must exist
necessity to bear and forebear, but it
does not therefore follow that you should
marry bad man. If you do SO, you
deserve chastisement: but lifelong
misery is terrible punishment A bad
mans wife must either live in contin-
aal torment Of fear. apprehension, and
the bitter disappointment Of her fruitless
efforts to please; or she must become
callous, cold, insensible to pain, and con-
sequently to pleasure. Will you take
upon yourselves either Of these bitter al
terna,ives! We hope not.

Precedemce-Mam and WIG
The new Doctrine.

Mrs. Swisshelm thus holds forth on
the important question of male and fe-
male precedence.
The Ohio Picayune says; "Mrs.
Swisshelm has condescended at last to
take in her husband as assistant editor
of the Visitor; but boldly places her
name above his, and calls herself the
senior editor" Very sorry to say,
MI. Picayune, that you have quite over
estimated our powers of condescension.
We profess to be the very embodiment
of humility and lowly- -mindedness; but
to become an editors wife, at this time
of day, passes our ideas of humiliation,
even on fast day. You must think, Mr..
Pick, we were very scarce of offers in
our day, when we married fellow who,
thirteen years afterwards, was hanging
loose in society, waiting for situation
as assistant editor to anybody's paper!
Such an employment suits a young man
very well, while he rubs the college rust
off his manners. and prepares for active
life; as Mr.. Swisshelm is, to be waiting
for his wife to give him place, is pic
ture of manhood that excites our con-
tempt. Such loafer could never be
husband long, for we believe in divorces.
We do beg of our contemporaries to be
easy on Mr.. SIS account. He is per-
fectly able to take care of himself and
us too-has business to attend to, that
is more important. in pecuniary sense,
than half dozen newspapers like the
Visitor.
There would be sad waste of bone
and music in placing him IN an editorial
chair. He looks upon quill driving
as somewhat to tailoring-suitable for
little women and small men, such as
ourself and the editor of the Picayune,
and could spare, without missing il,
enough self-respect, firmness and deci-
sion of character, to save half dozen
such men as our Picayune friend from
all fear of being hen-pecked or eclipsed
by their own or other body's wives
But If circumstances and tastes were SO
far different from what they are, that it
would be suitable we should be associa-
ted together in the conduct of the Visitor,
we would place our name before his, al
though he is our senior by good many
years, and our superior in far more res
poets than one. His being our husband
gives him no title TO the precedence in a
business we understand much better than
he.
The relation Of husband and wife we
recognise as one of perfect equality, and
we would scorn to maintain marriage
relation with any other understanding.
He is not any more our superior. in
some respects. than our present and for
mer assistant are in others, or the same.
They are all stronger, larger, and better
mathematician than we; but can write
editorial to suit the Visitor, take care of
baby and bake biscuits better than
any of them. So, whenever we come
in competition az Visitor editor, baby
tender or biscuit baker, we will "boldly"
take the precedence.
