nsy~ The following sentiments are
from two different natures, though both
of one sex -
" Marriage is to a woman state of
slavery 1t takes from her her right to
her own property, and makes her sub
missive in all things to her husband. y
Lucy Stone.
Marriage is state of slavery Aye,
but the bonds are silken and easily worn,
Marriage is the sanctifer of love-an
institution which acknowledges the right
of woman to be protected, and the duty
Of man to protect her. The Offices of
wife and mother are not those of slave.
What higher destiny beneath the skies
than to instruct the mind in thoughts of
purity? What holier mission than to
soothe the turbid torrent Of mans pas
sions by word-a look-a smile 1t
is to woman that this work is given.
Woman, in her vocation, may cheer the
tired spirit, may lend hope to the de-
spending, may whisper love to the lone
ly-while man may toll, and traffic, and
fuss, and fret, and grow savage. Who
would exchange places with him Ella

it; and you must not, cannot betray
me; know you will not.
The time came, the class were seated !;
the teacher proceed with the examina-
ton.
At last Lilly's turn came. AS she
caught the encouraging smile of her
teacher, she was we'll nigh overpowered
by emotion. Then she longed to ex-
plain it all to him, but her pledge came
to mind, and she said within herself,
" She has trusted me /; her happiness
depends upon its being kept secret,
mine On its being revealed. 1 will sacri
fee mine to hers. She will never know
my sufferings."
The class remained until the teacher
had in his kind manner commended
each and all for the effort they had made
and bestowed upon them the offered
prizes.
AS he concluded his commendation of
Lilly's solution, which she had wrought
with great accuracy and neatness, he
said, 81 understand each to merit her
own praise l have none to censure.
May you ever prove faithful to others
as you have proved to me"
Years passed on, and each brought
Lilly nearer to the grave; and now she
was standing on the brink ready to wave
a farewell to her friends, and pass from
earth. Clara watched by her as she
slowly pined away, yet knew not the
cause. Death came at last; and ere
he sealed her lips forever, with her last
breath she said: " Clara, dearsClara, |
have kept your secret, but it has proved
a fatal trust. 1t was the only deception
of my life, which l have not been at
liberty to confess. 1t has proved a
canker to my soul, has embittered and
terminated my existence here; but my
kind Father above has, | trust, brought
good out of evil, and prepared me by
my silent sorrows for a brighter world on
high. Dear Clara, l shall await you
there: farewell !"
Her lips ceased to speak, her eyes
were closed, her heart was still, ,and Clara
was alone with death.

WESTERLY, R. |, THURSDAY JUNE l. 1854, WI
sSp. The following article, in refer,

baF- The following article, in refer
ence to the recent Ward affair in Ken
lucky, from the Richmond (Va.) En-
aminer, needs no comment -
"The South has for years been over
run with hordes of illitcrate, unprinci-
pied graduates of the Yankee free
schools (those hot-beds Of selt-conceit
and ignorance,) who have, by dint of
unblushing impudence Established them
selves as schoolmasters in our midst.
These creatures, with rare exceptions,
have not deserved the protection Of our
laws. They bear neither in person or
in mind very strong resemblance to
human beings. In language, morals,
manners and education, they might lead
one to believe that Frankcnstein was not
the myth of a German romance writer,
and the Yahoo a real rather than fab
ulous monster, born of the envenomed
and satircal pen of Swift. OF this class
Ichabod Crane a northern writer's
portrait of Yankee schoolmaster, is 4
most complimentary and fattering pic
ture. So odious are some Of these
iinerant ignOramusss to the people of
the south; so full of abolitionism and
concealed incendiarism are many of this
class so full of guile, fraud, and deceit,
that the deliberate shooting of one of
them down, in the act of poisoning the
minds of our slaves or our children, VIC
think, if regarded as homocide at all
should always be deemed perfectly justi-
fable; and We imagine that the propriety
Of shooting an abolition schooLmster, when
caught tampering with our slaves, has
never been questioned by any intelligent
syuthern man. This we take to be the
unwritten common law of the South, and
we deem it advisable to promulgate the
law, that it may be copied into all the
Abolition papers, thundersd by the three
thousand New England preachers, and
read with peculiar emphasis, and terrible
upturning Of eyes, by Garrison, at the
next meeting of the anti-Slavery party
at Faneuil Hall. We repeat, that the
shooting of abolition schOoLmasters is fire.
quently creditablo and laudable act,
entitling a respectable southern man to,
at least, a seat in the Legislature, or a
place in the Common Council. Let all
Yankee schoolmasters who propose in
vading the south, endowed with strong
nasal twang, a long scriptural name, and
Webster's photographic book of abom
nations, seek some more congenial land, :,
where their lives will be more secure
than in the vile and homocidal slave
States. We shall be glad if the rawlings
of the Abolition press about the Ward
acquital, shall have this effect.
"The shooting of a southern man of
education and talents, professor and
useful citizen, has produced a just degree
of indignation, excitement and lawless
exhibition of violent feeling, which time
does not appear to diminish. But we
regret to announce that the shooting of
a meddlesome New England Abolition
schoolmaSter would result in no such
exhibition of popular rage. The neigh
bors of the fortunate marksman might
give him barbecue, or run him for
Congress, but beyond that nothing would
be done"

Of stealing some ducks. The farmer
said he would know them any where,
and went on to describe their popularity.

farmer, I" they are not the only ducks
have had stolen lately"
