Roman Virtue.

Three hundred and forty-three years be-
fore Christ. the Samnites were engaged in
war with the Romans They were brave
and daring race Of intrepid mountaineers,
inhabting a large tract of country III The
southern part Of Italy They conducted
the war with great skill and success. They
had bound the Tarantines as allies to them
selves. The Tarantines solicited the assist
ance Of Pyrrhus, king Of Epirus, a country
IN the northern part Of Greece in prosecu-
ting the war. Pyrrhus was the most cele-
brated general Of his age. He promised to
render them all the aid in his power.
The physician of this noted commander,
was u very ignobie and avaricious man, des-
tltute Of even the slightest degree Of patri-
otlSm, indeed, his ruling passion was so
great that for little paltry gold he would
have sold his country. Fabricius, man,
distinguished for his virtue and patriotism,
was at tins time commander of the Roman
army. The treacherous physician sent a
letter to the Roman general. stating that if
he could secure proper amount of money
he would poison Pywhus. Fabricius shock
ed at the baseness OF this proposal. immedi-
ately informed Pyrrhus of his reasonable
design, saying, 1--WE should be honorable
even to our enemies Y Pyrrhus delighted
with the magnanimity Of his noble enemy,
exclaimed, "It is easier to turn the sun from
his course than Fabricius from the path of
honor y Determined that he would not be
suspassed in generosity, he liberated all the
Romans whom he had taken captive, with
out ransom, and bade them return home
He also agreed to negotiate peace.
This example of Roman Virtue shows Us
how base treachery is in all its forms. How
detcstable is the man who would betray his
country for sordid gain, and who would be
tray his country for sordid gain, and who
would conspire against tie rulers of lis ma
tive state, and seek their ruin for his own Pc
cuniary aggrandisement How dtspicable
the course pursued by such men. How
much better it would be if all men would
pursue an honorable course as Fabricius
did on this occasion. How dignited and
noble the conduct Of such man, who, when
he had his enemy completely iii his power,
would allow him to escape urharmed. Let
US learn from this example to reject with III
dignity everything mean and dlshonorab.e,
and to cultivate high regard for that
which is upright and dignifed.

Justice to Women.

The following, says the ~ Y. Tribune is
the bill, already printed in our columns,
which has been submitted to the Assembly
by Mr.. Hull, of Montgomery, and is now
before the appropriate Committee We
pray that it may be early reported and act
ed on:
AN ACT relative to the Rights of Married Wo-
men.
SECTION |. Any married women whose
husband, either from drunkenness, profigacy,
or from any other cause, shall neglect or re-
fuse to provide for her support, or for the
support and education of her children; and
any married women who may be deserted
by her husband, shall have the right, in her
own name to, transact business and to re-
ceiye and collect her own minor children.
and apply the same for her own support and
the support and education Of such children,
free from the control and interference Of her
husband or OF any person claiming the same,
or claiming to be released from the same, by
or through her husband.
SEC. 2. Any married woman, whose hus-
band shall neglect or refuse to provide for,
or who shall abandon his wife and children,
may bind out such minor children and exc
cute indentures Of apprenticeship in the
same manner, and to the same extent, as her
! husband c0uld do.
SEC. 3. Hereafter it shall be necessary to
the validity Of every indenture Of appren-
ticeship, executed by the father, that the
mother of such child, if she be living with
her husband, shall, in writing, consent to
such indenture. Nor shall any appoint
ment of a general guardian Of the person Of
child by the father be valid unless the
mother OF such child, if she be living with
her husband, shall, in writing, consent to
such appointment:
We 10 not see how a fair and just mind
can object to any provision Of this bill 1t
is entirely practical and pointed at present
/ and CRYING evilS-there is nothing abstract
nor transcendental about it. 1t secures to
the virtuous wife and mother, rights which
are already conceded to any woman who
chooses to become mother without being
a wife-the right to control her own honest
earnings and to voice respecting the dis
pOsal and destiny of her children. Let us
see now whether Women really are repre-
sented in our Legislatures by their hus-
bands, brothers. sons, as we are so often told
they are. The vote on this bill will be a
touchstone. If they can have justice and
ample protection without the trouble and
annoyance incidental to voting, we presume
most of them would prefer not to be in
vested with the Elective Franchise; but if
not-why the case is somewhat altered-is
it not?

was drawn higher

exclaimed the wife She hid her face in
her hands in silent prayer, and trembiingly
rejoiced. The rope was up. The iron to
which it should be fastened was there all
right; but would her husband be able to
make use Of them? Would not the terror
OF tie past hour have SO unGorved him. as
to prevent him from taking the necessary
measures for his safety? She did not know
the magic influence which her few words
had exercised over him. She did not know
the strength that tie sound Of her voice, SO
calm and steadfast had filed him with-as
if the little thread that carried him the
hope Of life once more had conveyed to him
some portion of that faith in God, which
nothing ever destroyed Or sh )ok in her true
heart She did not know that, as be wait
ed there, the words came over him, "Why
art thou cast down. 0 my soul? and why
art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou

turned to God, and rested on him as on a
rock.
There was a great shout Hes safe
mother, he's safe, cried little Tom. 'Thous St
saved me, Mary said her husband, folding
her in his arms. But what ais thee?-
Thou seem'st more sorry than glad about
it" But Mary could not speak, and if the
strong arm Of her husband bad not held heI
up, she would have fallen to the ground
the sudden Joy, after such great fear, had
overcome her. Tom, said his father, LET
thy mother lean On thy shoulder, and We
will take her home" And in their happy
home, they poared forth their thanks TO God
for His great goodness; and their happy
life together felt dearer and holier for the
peril it had been in, and for the nearntS.
that the danger had brought them unto
God. And the holiday next day-was ii
not Thanksgiving Day?

FIlial Love.

Born to no pride, inherting no strife,
Nor marrying discord in a noble wife,
Stranger to civil and religious rage,
The good man walk d innoxous through his age
No courts he saw, no suits would ever try,
Nor dared an oath, nor hazarded lie
Unlearn'd, he knew no schooman's subtle art.
No language but the language of the heart.
By nature honest, by experience wise;
Healthy by temperanc and by exercise;
His life though long, to sickness pass d unknown
His death was instant, and without groan.
o grant me thus to live, and thus to die
Who sprung from kings shall know less JOY than /
0 friend, may each domestic joy be thine
Be no unpeasing melancholy mine;
Me let the tender Office long engage,
To rock the cradle of reposing age,
With lenient arts extend a mothers breath.
Make languor smile, and smooth the bed of death
Explore the thought, explain the asking eye,
And keep awhile one parent from the sky.
Pope.
