INSPIRED WOMEN.


Mrs. Il. Cakes Smith, in a letter to a friend crit
icises the late publishers .festirdi," because mo
distinction was awarded to any" of the women
"ercept by priority of age-a distinction
although excellent and proper" she thinks few
women would covet," and adds where was the
poem .rehearsed by a woman-the response of wo-
manly thought--the admiration of equality-the
chivalry wLiSh processes to enshrine woman as the
presiding genius of art and literaturel Nothing
of this kind. 1t was masculine all, and trust
me, with few exceptions, poor at that, it was a
laudation of booksellers more than a tribute to
genius"
As an Offset to this exhibition, of modern man.
ners, morals and men, Mrs. Smith reminds her
friend of the inspired woman of the past, and the
religious and social customs that made them ora
cles, philosophers, poets and legislators for the
ages. She says:
Mary, think you the days of inspiration are
past? Ii there were never but one inspired crea-
ture like Joan of Are, it were enough to DO q
prophesy of others but tho women of the North
Of Europe have always had their inspired women;
all religions have had their officiating priestesses;
the Greeks and the Romans had their oracles
given 10y woman, their Sybils, their Nestals, Sap
phos, their Hypatias, Aspasis, Corinnas; woman
who infused their disciples with q passion for phi
Iosoob, eloquence and art. In more modern times
the Roman Catholic calendar shows n long ARRAY
of canonized women who divide with men the
sanctitics of the Church. 1t is only in our day,
and by the Protestant Church, that woman is de-
graded to a creature Of mere utility, n weapon, a
cat's-paw to man ~ Christian SpirituaitSt.

proud and happy might your boy have been a de-
faced and distorted being, kicked, cuffed, knotted
with frost, blackened with bruises; a pickpocket,
a wharfrat, u panel-thief; with his intellect shar-
pened to an intense and impish cunning-only
knowing that it is q hard world, and he must get
out Of it what he can. Thus. fond father, might
your daughter, whom the very winds must salute
with courtesy, have gone through the streets at
night-a painted desolation, q Keeling shame. DO
you think these were made of better texture than
those who blacken aud tester %yondcrH DO you
think when these last came into the world there
was no milk in mothers breasts for them, DO Di-
vine solicitude about them, no tenderness in the
heart of Christ; but that they were the refuse,
whirled into existenc, as the great wheel OF Lie
shaped the finer mould of the respectable and the
happy? | tell you that God made them complete
souls and stamped His Image upon them-Iut
they have fallen into the dark and dreary ways;
the fierce flames have hardened them; the foul air
has tainted them; and their special depravity, over
and above the common depravity, is the infection
of circumstances The young boy, the young girl
driven by necessity and sharpcned with cunning,
run into crime. They are all educated; for cir
cumstances-not merely books-are education; but
this is their seminary, and the alphabet is sponta-
neous, and the science Of quick growth. And
with the consequences of all this exposure and
temptation we are all mixed up; and, if the claim
OF the child in its intrinsic position does not move
us. prudential considerations should-thO consid-
Grafton of what society does suffer, if these condi-
tons are not changed.

FAUSTIN I. AND HIS BLACK ARMY.

Sunday morning is the appointed time for these
military displays, and accordingly on the morning
of the 18th, at an early hour, drums were heard
beating from all quartars, and bodies of troops
came from every direction h%urrying to the place of
parade.
/ was surprised to see such a large number of
troops ON parade ut once in so small IA city--thcre
being not less than 5000 men, armed and equip
ped. L was also surprised to see them all dressed
so uniformly y, and so neatly equipped. In vain
did look for ragged and barcfOoted soldiers thro-
out the lines of this vast army-not one was to be
found. The ragged and sometimes barefooted
soldier that we often meet in the street throughout
the week seems to be com p%lctely metamorphosed to
Il well-equippcd anC armed veteran Of the Sunday
morning parade.
And the officers of the army, whom we always
lind deccntly equipped, were decked with a gor-
geousness Of military trimmings that | have never
seen equaled before. The tout ensemble presented
a very brilliant spectacle indeed, as they perform
ed their various evolutiOns with great apparent
military exactness. The Superior officers were all
mounted on very fine prancing steeds, and their
golden decorations and swords flashed and gleam-
ed in the sunshine, as they rode from line to line
of this vast military array in the discharge of their
duty.
The troops were finally all drawn up in a hollow
square to await the review OF the emperor. At this
%juncturc the heat of the sun was gaining in in
tenjity, and the hour of worship Mt the Protestant
mission was approaching, and ] decided to leave
the ground, quite satisfied at having witnessed all
tie preliminary military cvolutions, and not being
very anxious to witness the formal hunors resery-
ed for the chief Of the state.
This military system is the life of the I~Iaytiens,
and the animating spirit of the government. This
nation was torn with the sword in its hand, mid
the awful throes, horrors, and commissions of
bloody and unrelenting warfare. That hand has
never ceased to'grasp with II firm hold the sword
and counts every male ~llayticn able to do duty a

ARAB ODDITIES.

An Arab, entering a house, removes his shoes
but not his hat. lie mounts his horse upon the
right side, while his wife milks their cows upon
the left side. With him, the point of a pin is its
head, while its head is made its heel. Ills head
must 6e wrapped up warm, even in summer, while
his feet may well enough go naked in winter
Every article of merchandise which is LIQUID he
weighs, but measures wheat. jarley, and a few
other articles, lie reads and writes from right to
left, but figures are read from left to right. fe
eats almost nothing at breakfast, about as much
for dinner, but after the work of the day is done,
he sits down to a hot meat swimming in oil, or,
better yet, boiled butter. His sons eat with him,
but the females Of the house wait till his lordship
is done. lie rides his donkey when ira yelling, his
wife walking behind. lie laughs at the idea of
walking in the street with his wife, or ever vaca.
ting his seat for a woman. lie knows no use for
chairs. tables, knives, or even spoons, unless they
are wooden ones. Beadsteads, bureaus, and fire
places may be put in the sam category. If he be
an artisan he does his work sitting, perhaps using
his toes to hold what his hands are engaged upon.
Drinks cold water like Il sponge, but never battles
in it unless his home be on the sca-shore. Is rare.
ly seen drunk too seldom speaks the truths
deficient in affection for his kindred-has little Gu.
riosity and no imitation-no wish to improve hi,
mind-no desire TO surround himself with the
comforts Of life.
