tender heart lies open to your inmost sight.
You think Of her now as all geni!eness. al
beauty, all purity. But she is dead -
The dear head that laid upon your bosom.
rests in The still darkness, upon pillow OF
clay. The hands that have administered sc

meath the gloomy portals. The heart whose
every beat measured an eternity OF love lies

Mrs. Sigourney on Woman's
Riuhfa


That intellectual and exemplary lady,
Mrs Sgourney, thus beautifully discourses
on."Woman's Rights!"
There is much clamor in these days of
progress respecting grant of new rights
or an extension of privileges for our sex
A,powerfnI morslist has said that ain con-
tentions for power, both the philosophy and
poetry Of life are dropped and trodden
down" Would not a still greater loss ac-
crue to domestic happiness and to the inter-
est of well balanced society, should the in
nate delicacy and preogative Of woman, as
,eoman, be forfeited or sacga6ced
al have given her as e helpmeet." said
the Voice that cannot err, when He spake
unto Adam, in the cool, Of 'the day, amid
the trees of paradise; Not as toy, clog.
wrestler, a prize-fghter. No; a h!Pmset
such as was fitting for man to desire, and for
woman to become. ....
Since the Creator has assigned different
spheres of action for the different sexes, it
is to be presumed, in His unerring widom,
that there is work enough in each depart
mentto employ them, AMI that the faithful
performance OF that work will be for the ben
eft OF both. If He has made one the prizes
tess of the inner temple, commlttingto her
charge its unrevealed sanctities, why should
she seek to mingle in the warefare that may
thunder at its gates or rock its turrents?-
Need she be again'tempted by pride or Gu
riosity, or glowing words, to barter her own
Eden ??
True nobility Of women is to keep her
own sphere, and to adorn it; not like the
comet, daunsing and perplexing other sys
tens, but as the pure star, which is the first
to light the day; and last to leave it, If
she share not the fame of the ruler and the
blood shedder her good works, such as "be-
come those who profess goodness" though
they leave no deep 'foot' prints on the sands
of time," may find record in the Lambs
Book of Life"
Mothers! are not our rights sufficiently
extensive--the sanctuary OF love the throne
Of heart, the "moulIing of the whole mass
of mind and its f-st formation ?" Have we
not power enough in all realms of .serrow
and sufcring--oyer all fo,ms of ignorance
and want-amid all ninistrations Of love,
from the crade-dream TO the sepulchre =?
So let us be content and dilgent, aye,
grateful and joyous, ,nakng this brief life
hymn of praise, until called to that choir
which knows no discord, and whose melody
is eternal

Practical Rules.

The following rules we comm sndto all
our patrons and friends, for their excelkuce,
brevity and utility. They are worthy oGbe-
ing printed in letters Of gold and placed in
a conspicuous position in every household.
II is lamentable TO contemplate the mischief
ruin, and misery. which are the legitimate
fruit ofthose deficiencies which are pointed
out in the rules which we subjoin. Let ev-
cry parent and guardian read, ponder and
nwardly digest:
J.! From your children'S earliest infancy,
inculcate the necessity of instant obedience
2. Unite frmness with gentlenss. Let
your children always understand that you
mean exactly what you say.
3. Never promise them anything unless
your are quite sure you can give them what
you promise.
4. If you tell a child to do something,
show them how to do it, and see that it is
is done.
5. Always punish your children for will
fully disobcying you, but never punish them
in anger
6. Never let them perceive that they can
vex you, or make you loose your self com
nand.
7. If they give way to petulence and tenn
per, wait till they are calm, and then gently
reason with them on the improperly Of their
conduct.
g. Remember that q little present punish.
ment when occasion arises, is much more
elfectual than the threatning Of greater
punishment should the fault be renewed.
g. Never give your children anything be-
canse they cry for it.
TO- On no account allow them to- do at
one time what you have forbidden under
the like circumstance at another.
II. Teach them that the only sure and
easy way g appear good, is to be good.
I2. AccEStom them to make their little
recitas with perfect truth.
l3. Never allow ta!e bearing.
IA. Teach them that self f-denial, not self
indulgence, is the appointed, and the surest
method Of incuring happiness,
Is. Guard them against the indulgence
of angry and ressntful spirit.
l6. Above all, strenuously endoavor to
give your children,a knowledge Of things in
stead OF knowledge of words.
The rules are plain and simple enough,
one would think, and easy of observance by
parents; but how often are they reduced to
practice? Thy one in thousand! The
great majority of parents seem to rest salts,
fed that because child attends to school,
and learns by route a few elementary rules,
that all's right; not to mention great mul.
tiplicity Of words. about the meaning Of which
they know nothingt
This is all wrong, and hence the too many
Ounces at Twenty and the lahorsof the tie ach-
.ef gone. II is here that the paren! should
assist.

"was / remarkably SO when I got home
Mrs Brown"
ayes, Judge, drunk as fool, and forty
times as stupid" ...
81 thought So" said the Judge, dropping
into chair in extreme despondency--"I
knew it would come to that at last. / have
always thought something would happen tc
me--that would do something very wrong
kill somebody in moment of passion,
perhaps--but never imagined that shoul
be mean enough to be guilty Of deliberate
larceny"
"But there may be some mistake, Judge u
"No mistake, Polly. | knew very well
how it came about. The fellow, Sterritt
keeps the meanest sort of liquor, and al
ways has-iiquor mean enough to make a
man steal, and now have practical illus.
trations of the fact" And the old man
burst into tears.
"Don't bo child" said his wife wiping
away the tears, ego like man, over to
Sterritt, tell him it was a little bit of froIc
pass it off as joke-go open court, and
nobody will ever think oft again"
A little of the soothing system operated
upon Judge, as such things usually do. His
extreme modification was finally subdued,
and over to Sterritt's he went, with toler
able face. OF course; he had but little dif-
ieulty in settling with hima fer aside from
til fact thai the Judges integrity was un
questionable, he had an inkling of the joke
that had been played.
Judge Brown proceededto court, and, took
his seat; but spoons and liquor and liquor
and spoons, drunk, larceny and Judge Brown
was mixeI up in his "worship's" bewildered
head, that he felt AWFUL pale; if he did not
look so. In fact, the Judge felt cut down,
ard his usual self-po'sessed manner of bust
ness, his diction and decisions were not
what Judge Brown had been noted for.
Several days had passed away, and the
business of the court was drawing toward a
close, when one morning, rough looking
sort Of a customer was arraigned on charge
Of stealing. After the clerk had read the
indictment to him, he put the usual qqes
tion--
Guilty or not guilty." .a.
Guilty, but drunk" answered the prlS-
oner.
"What's that plea exclaimed the Judge,
who was half doing uppn the bench.
"He pleads guilty, but says he was
drunk" replied the clerk"
"IE4 is indicted for grand larceny"
"N hats the case"
''May it please you honor" said the pros.
ecuting attorney, "the man is regularly in
ficted for stealing large sum Of money
from the Columbus Hotel"
ale is, eh and he Pleads"
"lIe pleads guilty, but drunk"
The Judge was now fully aroused.
"Guilty, but drunkl This is most ex
traordinary plea. Young nan, you are Ger
tain you were drunk 2"
"Yes, SIR"
where did youget your liquor %
"At Sterrt's."
"Dd you get none any whare elss?"
"Not a drop, sir"
"You got drunk on his liquor and after
ward stole his money %
Eyes sir"
"Mr. Prosecutor" said the Judge, "do
