woMAN,s RIGHTS.

A woman's rights, what are they, t..s The right to weep, the right to pray, To wipe the tear from sorrows cheek, And words of comfort softly speak; To watch beside the bed of pain, The fainting, dropping heart sustain. In tears receive ihe parting breath, To weep in hers the bitter part
 Der wasted riches of the heart. On "brnken reeds' pure love to pour, And wake 10 find her dream is OCT; Then folds her bosom's innlOst leaf, With smiles conceal the quivering grief; Her place is home, her only care, The loved ones to concentrate there, To guard and guide with gentle hand. To win, but NEVER to command; Afar from stormy strife. which leads A manly soul to daring deeds.
 Her life exilales smile, sigh, Lis hi-Riving smiles in earth's dark sky; As perfumed air will oft reveal, As shady spots where violeis steal, Thus woman's influence round her streams As pure and fresh as childhood's dreams. Her love is like lhe brr ath of spring, Or fragrance that bright howerts fling In lavish sweetness on the air, And still is whispered words of prayer, Of times it brings but fear and pain. Yet still 'tis like some watbled strain-- or sweetness through troubled dream, or starlight flashing on a stream, Where clouds and shadows darkly lie, And cen those shadows beautify. ,4 For lis her dearest right to love-
 Whose hope. whose strength is from above, For we are made for love and tears"

A Rap on Somebody's Knuclkles.

It is very strange my teacher never says a kind word to me. am qlile sure l say my lesson well. haven't had an 'error" since 1 came to school six months ago. hayn't been delinquent or "tardy," have never broken rule. Now there's Harry Gray, that fat boy yonder. with the dull eyes and f,illed shirt collar, W ho never can say his lesson without some fellow prompts him. He comes in half an hour after school begins, and goes home an hour before it is done. aud eats peanuts all the time he stays; he has all the medals; and the master is always batting him on the head. and smiling at him. and asking :" if the room is warm enough" and all that; I do not see through it.
 My dear, honest, conscientious. unso- phisticaed little Moses! if you only knew what 'ich man Harry Gray's father was; what nice old wine he keeps in his cellar; how easy his carriage cushions are; what nice nectarincs and grapes ripen in his lot house; and how much ..ihe master" IS comforied in his inner and outer man thereby. you'd understand how the son of such nabob couldn't be anything but an embryo " Clay" or 1" Calhoun" or Webster" though he didD't know B from a Buzzsrd." m4.3 < "
 Are you aware. my boy, that your clothes.-,though clean and neat.-are threadbare and patched ? that your mo, ther is poor widow whom nobody knows? that no "setvant man. ever brought your satckel 10 school for you that you have positively been seen car rying q loaf of bread home from the gro cc,'s !? and that 1" New Yeal's" passed by. without your appropIiatiDg any of your mothers hard earnings to make q "presenl" to your disinte,ested and dis> eliminating teacher !? how can you be any thing bu. the dullest and stupidest boy in the school2 it is marvel to mo that 'The master" condescends to hear you rtcile at all.
 Stay bit. Moses; don't cry; hold on . while; if your forehead tells the truth, you'll be President of the United States by and by. Then, ,.the master" (quile oblivious of Harry Gray.) will go struts ing round. telling all creation and his cousin, that i" he had tLe Eonor of first teaching your young ideas how to shoot Won's that be fun? Oh, l tell you, Moses. Fanny has seen some strange spe- cimens of human nature; still she tells you (xiih tears in her eycs) that the Master Abnye is the ''friend of the friend- less ;n and you must believe it too, my little da, ling, and wait and trust.

YANKEE ENOUGH FOR H1M.'--Soon after the treaty of peace between Eng> land and America, the captain of an American vessel in London. fell in com pany with some sharpers, who urged him very much to join them in drinking bottle of porter. He, however, not aware of their policy. consented to go to pub> lie house. when, after they had drank freely. dropped off one by one, until the Yankee was left quite alone.
 The irnkeeper coming in. says to him,
 "What are you left alone ?" Yes," replied the other.
 The innkeeper observed to him that Ee was not much acquainted with their !" English blades" i'a :" 1 am not.' replied the American.
 "Well," said the man of the tavern, /" the reckoning falls on you.''
 Does it?" replied the other, affect> ing surprise. and clapping his hands into his pockets as if to pay it. but pausing. said
 Well, if this be the case, give me another bottle before l go."
 The innkeeper stepped out to get it. In the meantime the American wrote on the table
 "l leave you American handles for yonr English blades." and walked off in his turn.
