Mrs. Gage.

Mrs. Gage.
Mrs. Guge, for the last few yeurs, has ex-
erted most pleasing influence upon all
clnsses in our State. A thorough, radical
relormer--a careful observer of whatever
interests or benefits any of her kind--she
has found her way to thosnnds of hearts thro'
her familiar and ofenimes beautiful pro.
ductions. And especially has she won the
hearts and confidence Of those with whom
she hns come in personal contact, whatever
their positions or their wants, in taking n
mothers or n sisters interest in all. We re-
gret her loss from among our citizens. She
enters new feld,quite different from that she
has occupied, and one no less important, and
yet we doubt not she will, by her quick per-
ception, her prudence aud her true herosin,
be not less useful there, than in times past
among us in Ohio. In the following fare
well to Ohio, from the Ohio Culiiyator, our
readers will be interested.
LETTER FROM MRS. GAGE.
Fdre,ceil 10 Ohio-Ladies' Department Of The
Cultiuaior.
Mr. DEAN NEIcEs:-Ere this number of
the Cutivntor reaches you ] shall he on my
way, with all my household, to NV home in
the West-not The wild West among the
grand prairies, but 10 the crowded mart of
ST. Louis, which spectators nflirm TO he The
city of the Great West. Mount Airy will
have pissed into the hands of strangers; the
roses have reared, and the punsics ] have
planted, will bloom for others. | loved, oh !!
how loved them; hut love must bend to
duty, and the strongest "home ties and home
affections" be severed, ii the best good of
those near aud dear to US demand il. All !!
if every tear ! have let fall on these old
grounds, were TO spring up flower, the
whole yard would be full of forget-me-uots /;
mot inurmering, wailing tears were they
either, only natural enrs such MS the bride
sheds when she bids her friends good bye,
with high hopes in her heart for the future.
But don't think nm going 10 say farewell
oyou no, shall hope to hail you OCCASION
ally, with the same friendly greeting MS hith-
erto, only from IA different stand point. Let
me hear from you; think, feel, aud act,
aud struggle ever to avoid an uimless life
Cultivate the love Of the good and true, MS
well as the beautiful, if you would have life
harmonious aud useful and its end peace
aud joy.
A gentleman farmer in our neghborhood
is at loss to know why Ladies' Depart.
ment should occupy corner of an Agricul-
tural paper, and what right they have there"
Will you not, some of you, tell him? Poor
man! he has never dreamed IN his philoso-
ply, that the interests of husband niid wife,
father and mother, brother aud sister, are so
closely blended together, thut they cannot
he separated without injury to both. When
Adam trained the vines in Ellen, Eve was by
his side; and when lie was sent forth, TO eat
bread in the sweat o: his brow, she went
with him, aud the record does not tell us thnt
he either hade her go behind or spurned her
companionship.
II has grown into an nduge, " that men are
what their mothers make them" lfthey nre,
and we are TO have good farmers, truly inibued
with the agricultural spirit, and well trained
for active aud noble service in TINT most hon.
orable, useful aud independent Of all callings,
the mother should have some little garden
patch of their own, and become deeply in
terestrd in their cubhages and beets, sweet
corn Lima beans, they will be peeping over
the fence, by and by, TO see how the rutabn-
gas, potatoes aud corn grow in the depart
ment outside. They cannot attend TO the
Shanghaes and Dorkrgs, without wishing 10
understand something of the Durhams and
Ayrslires, aud il they tend the strawberries
and curran,s, the Cntnwbas aud isahellas,
they will, for women are curious, he looking
ut the Rome Beauties and Russets. But
nin in hurry, for the packing is all on hand.
Some of you he sure to give the gentleman
the proper Information.
II good wishes were effective agents, and
| could carry rs many from Ohio, as | shull
leave behind for you all, our journey through
life would he cloudless, aud bright, and
beautiful, except when we wanted a geutle
shower now aud then by the way Of variety
Heaven smile upon you oil.
AUNT FANNY.
