OF the race, full of childish impulse and passion

eminent,
Woman has never yet been injured by introducing
her respectfully into the presence of man. Man
has never JAILED TO he benefited 10y the associations
AS tile presence of woman converts the vugnriiy Of
drunken frolic, into the refinement of the ball
roon so will her honorable Introduction into the
great world Of science, literature industry education
aud government, tend to refine the manners purify
The morals, increase the benevoence diminish the
violence and coarsencss, elevate and enlarge the
sphere OF scientific thought, by directing II TO hu-
manitarian ends, and, in thousand ndmeiess ,c1ys
promote as 10 other influence can, the reign Of ami
U~sdt harmony aud the onward progress of mankind
toward the kingdom of Heaven OH Earth.
Such are few of the more obvious considera
tons, which led thought of illustrating by refer
ence TO The unquestonabe physiological laws of the
human constitution, but the length of this communi-
cation already forbids elaborate scientific ANALYSIS
OF the laws of male aud female development, which
at some future period, shall take pleasure in LAYING
before the philanthropists of our country.
Indeed, feel but little occasion for writing Mt

PERsEvERANcE.-The Chinese have the best illus
traion of the principle we have ever seen. One of
their countrymen who had made strenuous efforts
to acquire literary information discouraged by diff
culies, at last gave up his book in despair. AS he
returned TO manual employment. he saw woman
rnbbing crowbar oil stone; on inquirng the rea-
son, she replied that she was in want of a needle,
and thought she would rub down the crowbar till
she got it small enough. The patience of the aged
female provoked him to make another trial, aud he
succeeded in obtaining the rank Of of the first
three in the empire.

reason why the man who sells yard of cloth, or
hoe axe, pair Of shoes, is regarded by the
community asa better or more respectable man than
he who made it--nor he who sells barrel of -four
ships it off to another country, than he who raises
the wheat from which il is manufactured. Will
some one enlighten US on this subject ?-Iimes

New Planning Machine-a great Invention

OF all the labor-saving Improvements Of the day
and their names egion-we have heard and
seen of none that in point OF utility will compare with
one which we had the pleasure to see in operation
day before yesterdy, at Townsend's furnace, where
il was built. 1t is machine for planning wood in

isfactory idea of the invention only be formed
by seeing it work. Though simple in its constrGc-
tlon and easily comprehended glance, it is diff
cult to convey clear understanding of the mod,ts
operandi, on paper. 1t will be sufficient perhaps
say, that nothing heretofore invented, approaches 1t,
either in respect 10 the speed with which it does It's
work. or the accuracy of surface and finish which il
gives to every thing and any thing which passes
through it, in the shape of plank board
rough board placed within its vortex, comes out as
even and polished mirror, 10 the tune of l0s
feet mnute-and this, without driving the machine.
Its maximum capacity is double this speed-and the
greater the power and the rapdity Of the working,
lieve that it will turn aud work at the of
200 and even 300 feet per mnute-or as fast us il
could be fed. $50
In this respect it outstrips the famous Woodwork
invention, and promises TO supercede II entirely
The maximum capacacity of machine we are told,
is 30 or 40 feet per minute. Such as are Interested
in the progress of improvement, will in this
something new and stranger and well worth inspec-
ton and study. The inventor may be at Towns

A MOTHER AND HER CHILDREN.--IloNoR TO WHOM
HoNOR is DUE.-We learn that Mrs Jane Bassett of
Wendell, who was short thine since tried in Dana
before Edwin Woods, ESD, of this place. on the
complaint OF one Meacham, for stealing her own
watch, and promptly acquitted, recently visited Dana
for the purpose of seeing her children, from whom
she had been separated by her husband and the chill
dren entrusted by him 10 the care of Others On ar
irving IN Dana, Mrs Basset called at the place where
her youngest child was boarding. The lady of the
house being absent, Mrs. Dana expressed a wish to
some one whom she met at the door, TO see her
child. The child made its appearance when Mrs.
Basset took it by the hand and leading it across
the street, when the lady into whose custody it had
been entrusted by Mr.. b., returned, and seeing the
child with its mother pursued Mrs. Bassett, demand
ed the child and took it back 10 her own house.
Mrs. Bassett repaired TO the Hotel in the village,
where she passed the night-The next morning.
seeing her child play in The street, she Immediate
ly seized and made her way with it to the house
where the other child was. This movement of Mrs.
Bassett was seen by the lady first mentioned, who,
IN company with another lady, started in pursuit.
Mrs Rassett arrived the .hnuse and seizing her
other child, mnde her escape through a back door
Just as her pursuers entered the house from another
quarter. Some little time lost to the pursIers
in their search of the hollse-Thev soon however
discovered Mrs Bassctt making for the Hotel with
her children-one of which she bore in her arms.
while the other ran by her side. Mrs. Basset tho
holly and closely pursued, reached the Hotel FIRST
and received from the landlord and the citizens of
the town, who had gathered in considerable num-
bers, the protection TO herself and children she SO
richly deserved. So strongly were the sympathies
of the people excited in behalf of this much abused
woman and her offspring, they promptly contributed
sufficient clotle the children suitably for their
Journey and furnishing Mrs. Bassett with liberal
sum to defray her expenses provided carriage, and
safely escorted her and her children beyond the
reach of harm. The above details are substantially
as we received them.-Barre Gazette

Two gentlemen, Howe and Pratt, are engaged in
drawing up the cargo of the frigate Husser, which
sank 80 years ago. in deep water, near Hurlgae.
Large quantities of guns, ammunition, &C., have al

themselves in proximity to the gold, OF which they
have no doubt there is large quantity on board.
