My dear Mesdamcs de Stael, what more of a
professional education do they require? They
profess to do everything bring up their chill
dren in the way they should 60, and hold the
reins for their husbands, too.
Is there any motherly body that has not stu
died medicine to tiresome degree that does not
understand the diagnosis of groups, spasms fe-
vers, colds and cholics; and the number of
drops, to an iota, of squills, anodynes, magne-
sia, and Godfrey's cordial that should be adj
minstered? Does she not sew up all the knife
gashes, and dress the burns, scalds, and boot
rubs with admirable dexterity? Don't she
know that onions soothe the ear-ache, and q
waxed string cures the toothe-ache?
Can't she make coats, pants and vests equal
to any first-rate tailor. Hasn't she mended
boots and shoes enough to drive any sensible
shoemaker stark mad. Is she not constantly
exercising her eloquence and powers of Ian
guage on as inveterate an auditory of young
gentlemen, hourly, as ever crowded lecture
room?
AS to her being "capital whip" / should
like to know if all her little progeny cannot at
test to it, when orders have been disobeyed
And if many husband, on 'proper occasions .
cannot remember the word--lash, whose echo
still rings in his ears?
Is she not frequently improving her artistic
taste by sculpturing little images of rags for
, history on the slate for Tommy? And as for
her musical ear, it is RECALLED by some of the
most imprisoned. impiorlng, sensc-erasing rou-
ladies', trills and quavers of operate b;jous that
ever sprung from the cradle of art?
And who will compete with her in the car
penter's trade? What would become of the
| tailless horses, legless dogs, trunkless ele-
plants and all the manned animals of Noah $
ark, did she not substitute others, "maist as
guide as new" On the dilapidated creatures?
Who spins tops, and lectures on their hum
ming propcnsities! Who is locksmith to the
toy-guns and mimic trunks? Who is banker
baker shopkeeper. and Jane of all trades, but
this same terribly abused woman?
! She sits in judgment daily. and with blind
folded eyes, deals out justice with stern i'm
partiality to the little wranglers. Nightly does
she plead the cases for her little clients before
His throne, with feryor, sincerity and truth?
And what divine. in pulpit rich enthroncd
could with purer love and higher sense of du-
/ ty amid his congregation eXhort and pray than
the mother, surrounded by her little throng
kneeling at her side, following with their lisp
ing accents the voice that says Our Father

JUSTICE BROUGHT TO rrLL sroP-The Judges

different points. They are fatigued with this
vagabond life and ask to be permitted to come

complaints is, that they err in opinion because
they are Judges Grant. The opponents of their

After addresses from Rev. Mr.. Amos of ST.

monstrating the strong necessity for stringent
prohibitory liquor law, the utter futilty Of a
license law. and the cOnstitutionalty of the pro-
hibitory law now before the Council the COM
mttec presented the following Resolutions
which were enthusiastically received and adop-
ted by the meeting.
Wheras, The past experience of cur Terrific
ry has abundantly shown that the traffic in in
toxicating drinks is fruitful source of immor-
ality and vice, frequently resulting in disturb
anccs of TIE pcace-strcct rowdv ism-domestic
suffering. and horrible murder-working i'm
mense evil and no good TO society; and
HAereas, Because laws have been shown to
be insufficient to abate these evils, while the ex-
perience of several States exhibits evidence en-
tirely satisfactory that prohibitory law is the
most successful means Yet rcsorted 10 for &c
comprising that object; and
TFhfrcns. The Supreme Courts of Maine, Ncr-
mont and Michigan, have affirmed the const;tl-
tonaiity of the prohibitory law. of these seve-
raj States. where the highest judicial authority
in the nation has declared the right of any state
to suppress entirely this detcstable traffic: and
| Uhtreas, a large majority of the people of
this Territory have rcpetedly expressed at the
ballot box, through their petitions. their earn
est desire for adequate legal protection from
said traffic therefore
Resolced, That as citizens of Minnesota. we
respectfully ask of the Territorial Council, and
of his Exceilency. the Governor their sanction
for the Anti-Liquor Bill, which has recently
passed the House OF Representatives.
/ Resolved, That we cordially cxhort our fell
citizens who are engaged in the liquor trade
and those who are their habitual patrons to
consider whether they will not do greater hon

effcctually to the highest glory and prosperity.

THE MoSEE MARAEG.-The following has been
handed Us for publication. by Messrs. VIM
Brewster u Co. bankers Of st. Paul We give
place to it with pleasure although We do no,
adopt the conclusion which they arrive at in
regard to future money operations in St. Paul
in case this Legislature does its duty before il
adjourns -
During the PAST two months the monetary
circles have been quite active. The very unex.
pected rise in real estate, hot only for specula-
.on, put Tor permanent investment, has given
an impetus to business. and consequently an
activeness in the money market
we have frequent offers upon MORTGAGE 60.
CURLY: al rates varying from one and n half n
Lhfee anu hall per cent per month. and for
tirst-class paper, from two to four and va NC,
cent. per month. These rates douLtl.ss vii
continue for some time to conc. The Eastcrn
market. however. remains comparatively easy,
and perhaps We may expect some considerable
change by the opening Of navigation.
The operations in real estate. during The
month just closed, have been quite active, al
higher prices than have ever yet been known
at this season OF the year large investments
nave been made. and we may confidently look
forward 10 the coming spring as one OF great
advantage and importance to our community.
We are pleased to hear Of the arrival Of
sundry Citizens at the end of the railroad, in
Illinois, on their way East, including our old
a'eno 'nase Tuliis. late of the firm of B. F.
Jaws q Co. The Judge will return by the first
ooat WITH as he says. the best stock of family
groceries ever brought to st. Paul. Hi. old
customers may look out for him, as he is man

and proves her position by enduring
works of benevolence. Among her in.
stitutons is one for The blind and deaf
and dumb, of which some idea may be
formed, from the following notice that
we find in the Eastern Clarion:
"7Ae Trustees, to their honor be it

their services gratuitously to the great
cause Of benevolence.

are in the State, 1l2 blind persons, and
