Marriage state of slavery? Ay, but the

Acknowledges the right of woman to be protec-

What holier mission than to soothe the turbid
torrent of mans passion by word, a smile?-

man, in her vocation, may cheer the tired spirit,
may lend hope to the desponding, may whisper

Genius and Ciererness.-HaElitt, in speak
ing of men and other people, says that genius
rushes like a whirlwind, talent marches like a
cavalcade of heavy men and heavy horses
cleverness skins like swallow in a summer
evening, with sharp shrill note, and sudden
turning. The man Of genius dwells with men
and with nature; the man of talent in his study;
but the cleuer man dances here, there and every
where, like butterfly in hurricane, striking
everything and enjoying nothing, but too light
to be dashed to pieces. The man of talent will
attack theories-the clever man will assail the
individual, and slander private character. But
the man of genius despises both; he heeds none,
be fears none, he lives to himself shrouded in
the consciousness of his own strength, he inter-
feres.with nene- and walks forth an example,
that "eages fly alone, they are but sheep that
herd together" 1t is true that should poison
Gus worm cross his path he may tread it under
his foot. should cur snarl at him he may shas-
tise it: but he will not, cannot, attack the priva-
cy ofanother Clever men write rerses, men
oftalem write prose, but the man of genius
write poetry.

Origin of the term. sold Dominion. Few
things are so well calculated to awaken. in the
mind of the proud Virginian, when wandering
in foreign lands, touching "reminiscences of
home and KINDRED, as the simple mention ofthe
"0ld Dominion AID yet there are compare
lively few who are aware of the origin of the
term, which has so long and so generally been
appliedto Virginia. 1t Itoriginated thus: During
the Protectorate of Cromwell, the colony Of Vir-
ginia refused to acknowledge his authority, and
declared itself independent. Shortly after when
Cromwell threatened to send feet and army
to reduce Virginia to subsection the alarmed
Nirginians sent messenger to Charles II, who
was then an exile in Flanders inviting him to
return in the ship with the messenger and be
king of Virginia. Charles accepted the invita-
tion, and was on the eve of embarking, when he
was called to the throne of England. As soon
as he was fairly seated on his throne, in graft.
tude for the loyalty Of Virginia, he caused her
coat of arms to be quartered with those of Eng.
land, Ireland, and Scotland, as an independent
member of the empire-a distinct portion of
the @o5d dominion" Hence arose the origin of
the term. Copper coins of Virginia were is,
sued even as late as the reign of George III,
which bore on one side the coats of arms of
England, Scotland, Ireland, and Virgidia.
