A Word to the Ladies.
LYDIA JANE PERSON.

You cannot know, my gentle sisters, the intense
feelings of interest, solicitude, hope, and fear
with which my schooled heart swells, as look
upon your fair glad faces, and hear you merry
laughter Very pleasant they are to NE for love
Joy and beauty, and long for the land in which
they bloom forever. In this world they are moi
immortal, and yet they are almost always blighted
in their early bloom. II need not be So The
eladness of The heart may endure to old age, and
The face may retain its beauty, always. Joy and
beauty are the sunshine Of the soul So long then
as the heaven is clear above US, we may be beau
tiful and serenely happy
am not going TO tire you with moral lecture,
assume. dear girls that you are all pure, and gen.
ie and that you understand your duty, and accoun-
liability TO God. But there is one subject OF vital
importance involving your whole human happi-
ness and respectapility, which it is the fashion
to keep you in utter ignorance Men have said
and written Foster the romance of woman s
heart. Do suffer the broad light of reality to
disspate the shining mists that clothe her morn
ing landscape. Cherish the idolairy of her loving
nature and let her dream of heaven, and defy the
object Of her pure young hearts idolatry." This
doctrine is well suited to Mohamedan countries,
where women are kept in little earthly Edens, pam
pered, faitered, and caressed. Surrounded by
beauty; dreaming life away in elegant ease, amid
the lefinements Of luxury. Believing that they
are created merely to love, and be admired by their
lord. to whom they apply the words ofthe inspired
Psalmist [" For he is thy Lord God, and worship
thou him"
But for women who are required TO answer the
END OF their creation, as help for man to walk
beside him. in the rough ways of life. to share all
his tolls. his sorrows. and his reverses by their
own efforts TO sustain herself and him, when sick
ness, or other bodily or mental evil incapacltates
him and if he die. to provide for her fatherless
children, by the labor of her own hands ; for such
/ say. away with dreams Of romance, let them see
clearly, the country through which they are TO
travel, and choose the path whicn to them shall
seem most inviting knowing that even in 1t are
thorns, serpents, and rough places that IN 1t they
must encounter storms, and darkness and desert
tracts and knowing also that they arc not to find
in any OF its bowers, Or pleasant spots, their su-
preme happiness but that walking steadily in its
sunshine and its darkness. they will at length ar
rive at the Paradise of God.
Loye--mutual loye-hallowed by wedlock, is
the dearest. sweetest angel that is given TO aid in
bearing lfes burden of sorrow and toll, bot hu-
man love is not the business of our lfe or the end
of our own existence. We hare higher, sterner
duties, than to love and please man. II we had
not, very many Of Us, would live wholly IN vain

Let 10 Come.

Let III SOmes
By WALTER WILDWOOD.
Let it come, and be not fearful
What another day may bring,
For the heart that's always cheerful
Feels not half of sorrows sting
Griefs dark reign is always sterner
When he finds an easy prey,
Than when he meets some smiling mourner
Ill disposed to brook his sway.
Let il come, nor idly murmur
At the many ills of life,
As its trials thicken, hrmer
Gird your armor for the stife.
In the tide of time before you,
Good and i'll, for all are held.
But the GOOD will not pursue you,
Till by earnest force compelled.
Let il come, and be not fearful
What the fight of time may bring
Visions bright and specires fearful,
Are behind his shading wing;
And to all as past he fiieth,
Their allotted part he bears,
Bu, his burden lightest lieth
On the heart tina, ne'er despairs.
Let it come, not be offended
Should your sky be overcast,
And its light again be blended
With the shadows Of the past.
Still with hopes of brighter morrow
Cheer your fainting spirits some,
And ev'n though i, bring you sorrow,
Stand erect and let it come.

The publishers of the SOUTHERN Quarterly
REVIEW BEG leave to entreat the attention of. the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be Withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands of the
former Publisher into their own, makes, as it
were, a fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that-with all their former contributors, with the
addition OF many new ones, not less valuable and

bers now beg leave to give, that the work will he

type, and with a regard TO neatness and finish,
which will leave 1T second TO none in the country
they win continue to receive that patronage which
thar own cndeavor and the Claims of such an or
gan seem reasonably to demand.
The writer's for the REVIEW include the greater
number of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent Of the South, and reflect truly. with ma
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real pol
icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
We entreat the people of the South, who feel
the importance of such periodical as the Review,
to excuse its Deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance. With their counte-
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab-
shed organ OF domestic opinion-;he champion
of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home--the arena in which the better minds of
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and hnd5the proper provocation to execution and
performance-the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint of crude and undigested speculation. These
all objects of the last necessity 10 civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by reniissness and indiffer-
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons Of the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym
pathy and support for the future, due to the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and the
character which il seeks TO establish.
