This is certainly an ambitious title and W,
see no congruty between the title and the con
tents of the book, which, like lisa, seems de
signed to show forth the wretchedness of woman
under the present conditions of society. The
story is very simple one, and is but the thread
on which to string the sentiments of the author
Asia Phillips, the heroine, is a poor orphan
educated by the charity of Mr.. Maderon, with
his two daughters, and whose life is spent in
taking care of poor blind uncle and half
idiot aunt. She is full of talent, and, like lisa
in the Pilgrimage,.o of original and bold aspira-
tons. She is described, Gan Amazonian in
stature, which seemed to her the only fitting
tabernacle for the spirit that was in her to
dwell in. There was a lofty pride
in the expression of her strange black eyes--a
piercing, penetrating power, that was not to
be gainsaid ID the very fluid Of life she
must live, if it all Fettered as pow was
she might exist, but such an existence as she
would scorn to call life" And this is speci

HUMBLE LIFE.-There is happiness in hum
bic life--who can doubt it! The man owns
but few acres of land, and raises abundance to
supply the necessary wants of his family--can
ask for no more. If he is satisfied with his con-
dtion--and there are thousands so situated who
are--no man is more happy. No political
movement disturbs his repose--no speculative
mania chases the calm serenity from his mind
schisms in the church throw shadows beneath
his golden sky. His family is the world to him;
his lite lot is all his care. Who signs not for
such life of calmness and serenity! Amid
the cares and anxieties of business who would
not exchange his prospects and his hoEors for
the repose ofh who is contented and happy
on his spot of ground far from the noise and
squalid poverty, of city life? If there is a stu
alton congenial to the true spirit of man and
the growth of virtue, it is amid the rejoicing of
nature--in the calm retirement of rural life.

MEAGER's ACCOUNT OF AUSTRALIA

MEAGERO ACCOUNI VI AUOlhALlA
This Irish exile, lately escaped to this country
from Australia, and now in New York, held n
levee in the latter city on the Goth ult. In re-
ply to some questions relative to Australia and
Van Diemans Land he stated that the great
evil felt all over the colonies, was the inunda-
ton of the population with convicts and this
would soon be resisted, even to revolution.
Already the people had sent away convict
ship, with her passengers, from fort Philip, and
ever since no convicts had been sent there
The home government felt its weakness, and
was compelled to submit In Van Dieman's
Land, he stated that the population was about
$4,000 of which two thirds were convicts. The
result of this inundation of convicts was that
there was no room for free labor, as a convict
could be hired by the year for 20, or $45, from
the government which completely shut out free
labor. The colonists were therefore continually
surrounded with thieves and burglars, coiners,
murderersand villains ofevery dye. For waiting
maids, families were compelled to take women
who had been prostitutes in London, and the
governesses were, most of them, of the same
class. twas curious fact, that these convicts
though STEPPED in vice, did not commit as many
crimes as might be supposed. They would
murder and rob right and left, but from the
feeling of cowardce they were all afraid ofeach
other, and there was no trust or mutual conf
dence. Then the terror Of being hanged right
up for comparatively small offences, awed them
with extreme caution. The constables and JUS
tees were of the very worst character. The
first man that was hanged by the Vigilance
Committee at San Francisco, was a convict that
had been a constable. Mr.. Meagher took the
opportunity of landing the promptitude of the
Vigilance Committee in dealing with such char
acters, and said they were about to get up sim
liar committees in Australia.
The people were about to pass law, filming
heavily any captain landing convicts. They are
beginning to complain of the Inconvenience of a
distant government, and are ripe for revolution.
Every man had his gun, and there was more
practical freedom there than in Ireland The
speaker of the House of Assembly was the son
of 9S Irish insurgent, and the colonists had
flag of five stars, TO represent the five colonies
and the union jack scarcely visible in the corner.
Nothing was more common there than to hear
the people saying it would be so easy to strike
it out and make republic of the five United
States.
Mr.. Meager stated that the climate is delight
full, the air is impregnated with the perfume of
the gum tree and peppermint and consumption
is unknown.

pEATH,s FINAL CONQUEST.

The glories Of our birth and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There Is no armor against fate;
Death lays his icy hands on kings;
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong nerves ut last must yield,
They tame but one another STILL
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath,
When they, pale captives, creep to death.
The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds
Upon deaths purple altar now
See where the victor victim bleeds.
All heads must come
TO the cold tomb;
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.

How TO BE A MAN.-It is not books alone, or
by books chiefly that a man is in all points
man. Study to do faithfully whatsoever thing
in your actual situation, then and now, you find
either expressly or tacitly laid down TO your
charge-thatis is, your post; stand to it like true
soldier. Silently devour the many chagrins OF
it, all situations have many, and see you aim not
to quiet, without doing all that is at least requir
ed of you. A man perfects himself by work,
much more than by reading. There are a grow
ing kind Of men that wisely combine the two
things-wsely, valiantly, can do what is laid to
their hand in the present sphere, and prepare
themselves withall, for doing other, wider things
if such be before them. Carlyle.
