aS- Piercc's Minstrels, as will be
seen by advertisement, will give Con-
cert at American Hall on Saturday
evening next. They visited this place
last winter and drew full houses. OF
course those who heard them will avail
themselves of this opportunity to do so
again. They have become immensely
popular, and their performances are
always we'll attended, and are FREQ from
all Objectionable features. We would
say to those who would like to get their
moneys worth, 60 and hear them.

Day- BY reference to another column,
it will be seen that a public Rehearsal
is to be given by the ladies and gen.
tlemen of the /" Pawcatuck Musical
Institute" on Tuesday evening, August
%. This Institute, We arc informed,
has been in existence about three months
and consists of IA select number of singers
who meet for Improvement in musical
science-with Mr.. Spencer at their
head. AS this is the first thing of the
kind ever given here by our own citizens,
we hope they will have full house. The
character of the music to be sung, and
the musical character of those who com
pose the Institute, is sufficient warrant
to us that the Rehearsal will be worth
double the price of admission. Go and
hear it.

A Lover Still.

"No longer lover!' exclaimed an aged
patriarch, "ah! you mistake me if fyou think
age has blotted out my heart.-Though
silver hairs fall over brow all wrinkled,
and cheek all furrowed, yet I am lover
still. l love the beauty Of the maiden's
blush, the soft tint of flowers, the singing
of the birds, and above all the silvery ring
in the laugh of a child. l love the star
like meadows, where the butter cups grow,
with almost the same enthusiasm when
with my ringlets flung loose in the wind and
my cap in hand, years ago, I chased the
painted butterfly. I love yon aged dame.
Look at her. Her face is care.worn but
that ever held a smile for me. Often have
I shared the bitter cup Of sorrow with her
and SO shared, it seemed almost sweet,
Years of sickness have stolen the freshness
Of her life, but like the faded rose, the per-
fume of her love is richer than when in
the full bloom of youth and maturity.
Together we have placed buds in the
pale folded hands of fthe dead, together wept
over little graves. Through storm and
through sunshine we have clung together;
and now she sits with her knitting, her
cup quantity filed, the old styled 'kerchief
crpssedwhile and prim above the heart that
has beat SO long and truly for me, the dim
blue eye that shrinkingly fronts the glad,
day-the sunlight, throwing her parting
farewell, kisses her brow, and leaves upon
its faint tracery of wrinkles, angelic radi,
ance. I see though no one else can, the
bright, glad young face that won me first,
shine through those withcred features, and
the growing love of forty years thrills my
heart till the tears come.
Say not again | can no longer be lover
Though this form be bowed, God has i'm.
planted eternal love within. Let the cal
be deaf, the eye blind, the hands palsied
the limbs withered, the !cloudcd, yet
the heart, the true heart may hold such
wealth of love, that all the power of death
and the victorious grave shall not be able
to put out its quenchless fame.-Bostor

Woman.

"Woman, God bless her." is Senti-
ment of long standing, we know not its au-
thor, but doubtless he was whole souled,
pure minded man and his sentiment is
alike creditable to his head and heart
We honor him for it, and not only him,
but every man who repeats it as the spon-
taneous outpourings of his feelings. Yes,
"God bless her." for without her earth
would be desert, Eden itself would have
been a trackless waste. In her appropri-
ate sphere she is treasure, priceless gem
q jewel from the hands of God himself
In her sphere as wife, mother, sister, we
love, respect and honor her. In either of
these relations true woman sheds halo
all around her. Yes, woman was the latest
at the cross, the earliest at the sepulcher; !;
she wept when Jesus died, she rejoiced
when he burst the portals of the tomb
She sympathises with us in our joys and
sorrows; in health she divides with us our
cares and pleasures; in sickness she is ev-
er lowering around us; she smooths the
pillow, bathes the aching head, and admin
listers the cooling draught to the parched
and burning lips. She is indeed a guardi-
an angel in this her proper sphere; assuch
we love to contemplate her, and again we
say "God bless her." But there is anoth-
er view of this subject which to US is any
thing but gratifying When she aspires
to fill situations for which she was not de-
signed, we turn from her with feelings akin
to disgust. When she takes the title Of
Rey and assumes to act the pastor, when
she SO far unsexes herself as to harangue
a public assembly, when she aspires to fill
offices i'll the State government, our respec,
for her takes toitself wings, our love for hel
resolves itself into loathiug, the peculiar
characteristics which make for her all she
is, are gone, the glory has departed, anc
she is no longer woman. But it affords
usunfeigned pleasure when we remember
that such women are the exception, that as
class they are contcntcd in the sphere il
which their Creator has placed them, anc
that such exponcnts of "woman's rights
met with very little favor from them
Again we say, "Woman," in her proper
sphere, "God bless her."
