WOMAN In INDIA.

In no country Of the world, perhaps, does
woman hold more painful and degraded
position than in India. To evidence this,
we condense from a work on "1ndia and
the Hindoos," by F. D. w. Ward, few
facts relative to the social and public atti-
tude of the female portion of Hindoo socie-
ty: ,.,.,
From the hour of her birth, until the day
of her death, the Hindoo females life ap-
pears, according to our ideas, to present no
single phase of brightness. The birth o! a
daughter, by her parents, is considered a
calamity, and an event demanding condo
lence; no rejoicing attends her natal hour,
nor does she receive the blessing always
invoked upon a new born infant of the OPP
posite sex. =.
Woman's chief duty, in India, is obedi,
ence Father, husband, son, all, in their
turn, demand it. "No woman can be inde'
pendent" says popular maxim. In mat,
rTimonial affairs, she has no will but that Of
her parents, and she is not permitted to see
her husband before the marriage day. When
welded, she is still in subsection.
A Hindoo wife is never, Under any cir
cumstances, to mention her husbands name
HE" The Master" &C., are the only II.
ties she uses when speaking of him, or te
him. Nothing is more irritating to one wo.
man than for another to charge her with
having mentioned her husbands name, SC
dlsqraceful an offence is it deemed. Wher
in the presence of others, no alluslon mus
be made to her husband by the wife no
must she be seen in his company abroad.
The female members of family neve
take their food in company with the more
honored sex. They sit patiently by, while
father, son, husband, brother are eating
and then relieve their hunger with whatre
mains. =,
A guest never inquiries after the healtl
of the wife of his host. If absent, she Il
not asked for; if she enters, no salutatio:
greets her; if present, she is unnotlced.
India abounds with schools tor boys, bu
there are none for girls. "Ifa woman learn
to read, she will become widow" says
popular adage.

At the death of Phillip Doddridge, an en-
inent lawyer of Virginia, who died in the
city of ashington while member OF Con-
eress, it was stated as reason for retain
ing the body longer than usual, that on a
former occasion he had narrowly escaped
the melancholy fate of being buried alive.
He had fallen into cataleptic condition,
his respiration had ceased, his pulse no lon
ger throbbed his limbs were perfectly rigid,
and his face exhibited the sharp outline of
death. The family physician and friends,
all-with the exception of his wife-believ-
ed him to be dead. Mrs. D. would not re-
linquish every hope, however, and continu'
ed to apply, from time to time, every rem
edy she could think of to restore vitality,
and finally succeeded in administering a
small quantity of brandy, which immediate
ly restored him to life and the command of
his limbs. He lived many years afterwards,
and was wont to relate, with deep feeling,
the painful and horrible sensations he ex-
perienced during the period he was suppos-
ed to be dead; he said although he was un-
able to move his finger or give the least
sign of his being alive, he could hear and
was conscious of every thing that was go
ing on around him. He heard the an
nouncement that he was dead, and the lam
entations of his family, the directions for
his shroud and the usual preparation for his
burial. He made desperate efforts to show
that he was not dead, but in vain; he could
not move muscle. Even despair and the
immediate presence of fate more appalling
to humanity than any earthly terror, could
not rouse the dormant body to perform the
slightest of its functions. At last he heard
Mrs. D. call for the brandy with delight
and rapture of love for her which the hor-
rors of his situation may easily explain
He felt that he was saved. He humorous
lv observed that sit was as little as brandy
could do to restore him to life, as it had
produced his living death" Mr.. Doddridge
was unfortunately addicted to the use of ar
dent spirits, and fit Of intemperance mad,
no doubt, produced the condition from
which he was relieved by the perseverance
and love of his wife, who administered, at
the last moment, the powerful stimulant
that restored him to life; otherwise his fate
would have been as that of many others,
who have been buried before life was ex-
tinct.

CoMFoRTs FOR HoMELy WoMEN.-"Beau-
ty," says Lord Kaimes, sis dangerous
property, tending to corrupt the mind ofthe
wife, though it soon loses its influence over
the husband. A figure agreeable and en-
gaging, which inspires affection without the
ebriety of love, is amuch safer choice. The
graces lose not their influence like beauty.
At the end of thirty years, a virtuous wo-
man, who makes an agreeable companion,
charms her husband more than at first. The
comparison of love to fire holds good in one
respect, that the fercer it burns the sooner
it extinguished."

aS Among the anecdotes detailed by DR.
Bushnell in his sermon at Litchfeld, illus
trative of the Age of Homespun, was this :
One of the aged Divines of that county, still
living was married during the Revolution,
but under singular difficulties. There was
an obstacle to the wedding which seemed
lnsurmountable. He had no wedding coat,
nor was wool TO be had to make one, as it
was IN the dead of winter. Yet ali parties
were ready, and he was anxious to be mar
aied without delay AT last the mother of
the intended bride discovered the difficulty,
and promptly had some of her sheep shorn
and se,ced up in blankets to keep them warm.
while of the wool she spun and wove coat
for her intended son-in-law.

A shrill shrek rent the air and rang through
the boat with such wild agony as awcke ev-
cry sleeper.
"My child My Anna !" cried the fran
tic mother, as she gazed vainly IN the dark
waters that had closed over her loved ones.
"Save them save them !" she still
shrieked, while she struggled to throw her.
self after them, though firmly held by one
of the oarsmen. The other plunged into the
river, while half dozen lights flung broad
CLEAN upon the water, and enabled him to
discern any object that appeared. The fa-
ther peered into the distance with keen,
quick gaze, and then gave loud shout as
dark mass rose to the, surface. With a
few expert strokes the swimmer reached
Anna, as she was sinking beneath the waves
again, and with strong hold he grasped
and bore her safely to the arms of the dis
tracted mother, who folded the dripping ex-
| hausted child to her bosom. Still she Shrek
ed
"My child my babe is gone! oh, save
him too 7" And with wild gestures she en-
treated them to find it.
"What does she mean 7" asked the as
tonished oarsman.
Gamma had the babe in her arms when
lifted her down to you, replied the excited
and bewildered father.
Without another word, the generous boat
man plunged into the water again, and Gid
ed here and there in search of the lost. III
vain the lights flashed hither and thither,
throwing long streak of brightness to the
shore. Nothing was visible, and hope sank
in tie hearts Of the lookers-on who had
gathered upon deck, and even the harsh
captain pitied the mother, as he heard her
agonized sobs, when the search was aband-
oned, and the boatman returned, chilled and
wearied, from his fruitless efforts. No one
spoke, and many eyes still anxiously watch
ed the ruhled waters. Amid the silence,
save the half-stilled grief Of the bereaved
mother, the boat glided slowly away the
oars dipping lightly into the waters that had
embosomed the sleeping babe. On and on
they softly moved, till the boat-lights glim-
mered in the distance, and they could see
the wavy lines Of the shore, and the dark,
dreary wood that bordered it.
Close upon the shore stood few ham.
lets and here, in the midnight darkness,
they left the moneyless gambler, his strick-
en- wife, and the half drowned Anna. Poor
Mary sat moaning upon the river bank, clasp
ing her only remaining child, and straining
her gaze afar upon the water in search OF
the lost one. The conscience-stncken IA
ther FASTENED to the nearest cottage for re-
lief, while the skiff pushed from the shore,
and returned to the steamboat, which in a
little time was swiftly pushing and putting
along the river and leaving far behind the
broken group that had been despoiled OF
their treasure.
Quiet was again restored among the pas
sengers, and each returned to the dreams,
or his waking thoughts of the unhappy mid
night scene-some to sympathize-some tc
censure-all soon to forget, in the busy
whirl of life, the sad lesson, that however
man may err, woman is the greatest suffer
er thereby, and few, If any, to profit by the
warning Of the gamblers misfortunes.-.Ru-
