NJ hawthsrse'swork, and al agree in thinking that
tAegrandest institution Of the present age is the
" Asipomene,' or "abode Of love-" s1Auste in The
Of Brighton, in England, where there
are NO absurd restrictions on the pleasures and
anasenents of the pious inmates.

silly heads, perverted their imaginations and i'm
bued them with nonse 1sical and dangerous notions
about women's rights, revolutonizing society pla-
tonic love, and the various " isms," which, but for
their manifest immortality, would be only capable OF
exciting ridicule and laughter. II not absolutely
criminal in their views, thoughts, words, and ac-
tons, these ladies are, at least, trenching on i'm
morality, and are in dangerous contiguity to, and
conpanionship with, the most detestable of vices.
We need not wonder at their contempt Of the Scrip
lures, when their text books such works as one
we see advertised in their organ, entitled " Love
Marriage and dedicated Ito all true lovers
who fear not 70 follow the magic clew Of charm, but
defy the interference of all foreign powers" We
ought TO congratulate ourselves, however, TINT the
evil is confined only to these hundred candidates :
admission into lunatic asyums, and that the true
and yiituous women of America are, in the mass
upcoDtaminated by their pernicious doctrines.
What are the pastors and spiritual advisers of
churches doing TO put stop to this spread Of social
Reorganization, in6dehty and false phl0Vb ply, in
the community. Are they afraid to buckle on their
amor, and march with the sword of the spirit and
the shield Of faith against this band of females vi o

to the pulpit, but in vain, and now, in spite
of st. Paul, we must ourselves preach" Will
not these sentencsa alarm our pous and nervous &c
clesiastcs and make them dread lest the time might
soon come when-as the worthy old deacon was
elected from his pulpit at Woodstock by one of the
roundhead soldiery of Cromwell's day, who was not
pleased with his fashion of mnstry-so it might
happen that their pulpits might be usurped alike

Fourier in the present day.
1t is not at all imaginary, improbable, that the
pious conservators of our religious institutions
will see themselves constrained to fight the good
fight with these AmazonE Of the nineteenth century
The banding together Of women to levy war, revou
tionize society and form independent governments,
is rot at all modern idea. 1t existed many centu
res ago in tne ancient republics of Greece. The
cient chronicles do not inform us whether they
short pettisoats or pantalettes we only know
that they seethed their right breasts, that they
might throw the javeln with more force. But, as
their modern imitators in the American republic,
they decreed that matripaony a shameful servi-
tude. They ambitioned for universal empire, and
would have probably contaminated their views, but
fortunately for the other half Of mankind, their
queen on the eve of decisive battle, was seized
with the labors of child birth, and by this simple
fact Of the i'll timed acconchenent Of . woman, the
regime Of the ancient Amazons was destroyed, to
spring into life on another hemisphere three thou
sand years after If we read history for the sake Of
profting by it, we in this case furnished with
certain remedy for the pscifcation of these dis
contented Amazons of the nineteenth century. Let
the precedent be followed, and let beautiful,
bouncing baby be introduced to the lap of each OF
these women, which will distract the attention Of
its rantipg mother from woman's rights, Fourier
ism, infdelity, and universal suffrage.
TRICKS BY TELEGRAPH.-.The press Of this
city are very often made the means of publish
ing and lending their circulation to things which
could not find place in their columns through the
regular medium, by the tricks Of telegraph re-
psrters through the country. Thus, for instance,
we have been made to give to the public, in yester
days HERALD, paragraph stating that an expert
ment with Philips Fire Annihilator was make .;
Utica, on the previous evening, which was attended
with triumphant success. The several experiments
which were made with it in and about this
city exposed its utter ehcacy to extinguish
fagraton, and, Of course, would not be guilty tf
such qualification Of ourselves and readers as to
insert anything in our columns calculated to revive
or encourage the humbug. But the telegraphic re-
porters, it would seem, permit themselves to be
deceived by the spectators who are engaged
in the enterprise just certain class of reporters

press, from time to time, paragraphs just as silly
and unfounded this story Of the annihilstor OK.
