A STORY FOR MOTHERS.
THE CHILDREN AND THE NOVEL.

THE CHILDREN AND THE NOVEL
BY MRS. CAROLINE A. souLE.
"Well there" muttered Mrs. Lee, in q some
what petulant tone, as she laid down her babe !;
thank fortune, as the last one is abed and
asleep. Now for q little comfort"
Carefully drawing the blankets around the
tiny form, she rested one hand for a few mo-
ments upon the gently heaving breast, stirred
the cradle with the other, singing the while q
low lullaby.
Assured from its soft breathing and quiet
limbs, that it was indeed asleep, she turned
from it quickly, drew her low rocker to the
stand, picked up the light, and took, from un-
derneath miscellaneous pile in her work.
basket, an uncut novel,
"What beautiful ttle" said she, all traces
of weariness vanishing with electric rapidity
from her countenance, AS her eye glanced
over its pages, the dull look they had worn all
day disappeared, and the light of anticipated
Joy flashed in its stead.
II know that shall be pleased with it. |
feel that it will be interesting" continued she.

"WoMAN's RIGHTs."- An Old Citizen" has
written us sensible communication, wherein
ne lectures in good round terms those who
object to the practice of going abroad to pur-
chase what may be procured from our own
stores and manufactures. He appears to assent
to the proposition, but contends that they who
claim right to profit by its observance do not
themselves observe it. He asserts that no con-
sideration is had for poor and industrious
women, and that the products of distant peo-
pie are always preferred before the labor Of their
hands-that we buy our linen and other clothing
made up abroad, instead of obtaining them at
remunerating price from the poor toil-worn
women of our own home. This charge is
true, and our strong men should hearken to it..
Woman is too poorly paid for her labor, and
men who claim just compensation for their
own services are unmindful of her interests.
Yet we cannot but see and regret the primary
cause of her wrongs it exists in her education.
Fathers who have feeble hopes of providing a
competency for their daughters are yet content
to leave them with no knowledge or skill to pro-
vide for themselves and without other alterna-
tive, should congenial marriage not offer, than
the most ordinary and unremunerating branches
Of female pursuit; and the needle and the wash
tub are but too often the only reliance of the
laborers daughter. This is all wrong. Every
parent should study the taste and talents of his
daughter, and every woman should be well
skilled in some profitable and appropriate pur-.
suit. Authorship, drawing, painting, translat-
ing, penmanship, music and the manufacture of
various articles of utility and beauty, are not
more masculine than feminine employments,
and it is within the means of many parents to
have their daughters taught to excel in these
things, even though they may not be able to
bequeath to them other means of support.
That a woman may marry is not suff cient
reason why she should not learn such pursuits
as these. Poor girls usually marry poor men;
and it is not amiss in them to be able to assist
their husbands in acquiring the first one or two
thousands of dollars that they ever accumulate.
After that they may not need such help from
them; but whether they do or not, they will by
such means always have it in their. power to
protect their wives from the seyerer labor of
household duties.

ARTLESS LOVE.

A PASTORAL PoEM.-BY JOEL AUSTIN.
Fair Sylvia with her swain would rove
Along the vale and through the grove
very novice she, in love,
And he an ardent boy;
The eve was warm forth they went,
Sweet scents with every breeze we're blent;
That happiest hour of all seemed meant
The hour for loves employ.
They sat beside a mossy rill,
Close by the shelter of hill,
Where natures harsher sounds were still,
And nothing else was heard,
Than the low whipping waterfall,
Or the subdued, belated call
Of "Cuckoo!" from the elm-tree tall,
To his companion bird.
Their arms were fondly interlaced-
His, closely clasped about her waist
Or her warm neck-removed in haste,
For fear it might distress;
Her hand would press bis throbbing wrist,
Or his brown cheek-though often kissed,
And then, perhaps moment, missed
Its visits were not less.
She shot such glances from her eyes,
She breathed such sad, repeated sighs
As filled the swain with pleased surprise,
And moved the tender lad
To swear she need not feel alarm,
That nothing there should work her harm;
And barred to view his sinewy arm
At length he thought her mad
'Tis true she said his arm was fair,
And fit to strike the foaming bear,
And had of beauty such a share
As made her kiss 1t DER;
But then her bosom rose and fell
With such a billuwy sink and swell
And what the cause he could not tell
His dread grew more and morel
He vowed she should no more remain
The loneliest maid of all the plain
And fifty more things in its train,
That soothcd her timid mind;
She leaned her head upon his breast,
Nor seemed to know that he caressed;
And sighed, as cheek, eyes, lips he pressed
His Sylvia was so kind
Just by the brook, within that dell,
Half hid by jasmine, blithely dwell
Within their cot-still loving WE'LL
Young Sylvia and her swain:
The skylark, coming with the leaves,
Building beneath the cottage caves,
No whit more thankfully receives
Its lot, than do this twain
