teristic grandeur, but Notwithstanding
every disadvantage, to use the language
Of a Poet whose soul seems to appreciate
the excellence of the fair:
Woman thy tears like the gush ofs fountain,
Though spilled on rock are not lost in their
fall;
Woman! thy smiles like wild flowers on a
mountain,
Redeem the dark shadows Of life's gloomy
hall;
In childhood thy bosom Of down is our pillow,
Anc thither we turn while thy aid We implore;
And when tossed on the foam Of youths tur-
bulent b,llows,
Thy eye is the beacon that guilds TO the shore.
Woman, thy truth like the sun, may be hid
den-
Though its holy, brgh. beam glides forever to
the skies;
Wcman! Thy trust though BY prudence for
bidden,
Still clings 10 the wreck when in fragments it
lies;
In manhood we Hy 10 thy soothing carresses,
And 6nd Thy chasts converse solaee from
i wo; a.
And when age and its long train of evils OPP
press Us,
We seek thy mild shadow to hide from the
blow.
Woman thy innocence stainless forever,
Reflects the pure light of its own native skies;
Woman! thy love il restrained like river,
The deeper it flows, and the quicker its rise;
The cloud of misfortune may often o'ercast
thee;
Aet still doth the light of thy beauty remain !;
But should moral error or slander e'er bias,
thee,
The fowret that wilhers may n'er bloom
again
Woman Thy weakness to memory appealing,
The holiest views of thy childhood recalls;
Woman! thy kindness like dew-drops distill
ing,
Unseen II its course, may be marked where it
falls,
In the hut or the palace. the desert or city,
Wherever .he trace Of thy step may be shown;
Sweet herald Of peace and dispenser Of pie,y,
Thy worth is remembered, thy virtue is
known.

~ We give the doings Of the Wo-
mans Rights Convention, which was
held at Massilon, Ohio. that our friends
may see and study for themselves, if
there is any wrong in their position. If
we are ever to have more elevated
state of society, we certainly must be-
gin at the fountain.head of the evil; for
so long as our laws and customs make
women unequal, so long woman will be
in certain state Of slavery. The 14th
of the resolutions, is as follows:
"That the inequality of the remun-
Grafton paid for woman's labor compared
with that Of man, is unjust and degrad-
ing; for so long as custom awards to
her smaller compensation for services of
equal value, she will be held in state
of dependence, not by any order of ma
ture, but by the arbitrary rule Of man -
This is our ground-we fully endorse
every word of it! and by the help of
the Lord and our good friends, we in
tend to inscribe it upon our banner, with
our whole heart and soul. We shall
soon have an engraving ready, with the
inscription /" Without concealment-
without COMPROMISED" and under this
banner it shall be our pleasure to do all
we can for Woman's true elevation.

WOMAN.
AND WOMAN's ADVOCATE.

| believe woman to be the chastest
ornament Almighty wisdom has in its
love devised, for enhancing and pfomot-
ing the happiness and well-being Of our
race: chaste and tender flower to be
placed in the bosom and cherished with
the hottest dews of affection Of which
the heart is capable, granted to man in
mitigation Of worldly anxiety, to awaken
his higher and nobler powers, to "raise
from the earth his sordid thought" and
induce the discharge of each moral obi.
CATION.
IT'S she who tends our helpless in
fancy, overlooks and corrects its follies,
inculcates the first principles of devotion,
wisdom and rectitude of character. Yes,
she who bathes the burning temples and
moistens the feverish lips of the dying;
and she who joins the spirit in prayer as
it prepares to quit its moral tenement,
and stand before the last and mighty tri.
bunal of God. Yes, woman it is who
prevents the ten thousand black crimes
which would otherwise be committed,
incites the lord of creation to each noble
deed, and in short is the fountain ol
every act Of virtue, valor, love and truth,
for which man receives reward or praise
while she, in her placid beauty, silently
devotes her existence to his service, and
in the promotion Of his honor. Yet,
even these pledges Of the Almighty
mercy to man are treated with violence,
wrong and perversion to such an extent
that they are frequently hurled from the
bright eminence heaven ordained them
to occupy to the very confines Of perdi'
ton. In most cases they are required
to affect what they do not feel, and ap'
pear what they are not; the very rule
which govern society impose a restric'
ton on woman which obscures charac.

differ from some of US in her views in
regard to the enfranchisement of wo.

to understand the whole ground Of wo-

as she says, "seems to feel deeply the

she should have, during life, an equal
control over the property gained by their
mutual toll and sacrifices; and be heir
to her husband precisely to the extent
that he is heir to her.
l3. Resolved, That the mother, being
as much the natural guardian Of the
child as the father, ought so to be recog'
nized in law; and if it is justly the
province of the Court to appoint guar
dams for minors, want Of qualification

required condition of the appointment.

Misp.-Thls lecture was delivered on
Monday evening, a, Ocean Hall. AS
might have been expected, it was
mastery exhibition Of tho mental char
.scter Of the English people. Special
references were made to the distinguish
ed traits OF some Of tho greatest men oi
England, such rs Coke, Holt Shake
spere, Milton and others and, inciden-
tally, Mr.. WhippIe introduced notices OF
celebrated persons OF other countries
Among the most telling Of these was a
severely faithful portrai,urc OF Louis
Napoleon, who he denounced in strain
Of almost fierce invcctive. II would be
impossible for us to give anything like
an analysis OF his splendid oration- IAN
effort which, We take it, the lecturer has
never himself surpassed. Never was
the English Mind SO Justly deucribe';
and so fairly, that every enlightened
Englishman, Of whom there were not
few in the room, must have been com
pletely satisfied with the exponent.
