PROSPECTUS OF THE UNA.

In announcing a new Volume of this periodical,
we deem it essential to call the attention of the
reading public to the claims it may have upon
them for patronage.
The womans' rights movement having become
one of so much Importance as to enlist almost
every variety Of character and shade of opinion,
it has been deemed needfulthat a correct history
of its progress might be preserved; its demands
truthfully presented and its philosophy thor
oughly treated that there should be one periodical,
through which those most interested could have
utterance.
Political papers or those devoted to special re-
forms are alike unsuited to present a question in
yolving 80 much OF truth as this, one which needs
the fairest the most candid and careful examina-
ton and consideration.
Our paper has been free in its character admit
ting almost every variety of opinion and upon all
subjects and this it will continue to be.
Arts, science, literature, philosophy both spirit
ual and natural, the science of association or the
reorganization of Society, and individual develop
ment, will each receive their due share of atten-
ton. .-- 4--
Our contributors a few of whose names we give

THE EMPIRE.

A FIRST-CLASS BRITISH JOURNAL, Ed
tied by George Thompson, late M. p. This Eng
lish Newspaper is peculiarly suited to such Ameri-
can readers as desire to become familiar with the
policy, the politics, and the institutions of England,
and with European affairs generally. 1t will be a
faithful exponent of popular progress, and the
chronicler of all the important reformatory move
ments of the age. Constant and ample notice will
on both sides of the Atlantic. The following ex-
%damental principles of the Empire:-
"JFhat Ihage been during the whole course of
my public life, that l shall inferiJly remain,-the
ardent friend and supporter of FIee-trade and the
rights of industry-of the absolute and perfect
equality of all religious sects-of the largest prac-
ticable increase Of the independent political power
of the people-of Justice to our colonies, and es-
pecially to the conquered subjects of our vast In
dian Empire-of the exercise of the moral infu-
ence of this nation in favor of the total and uni
versal extinction Of slavery and the slave trade:
and, finally, of the Christian principle of peace
especially the substitution of pacific arbitration
in all international disputes, for the present sense
less, absurd, and bloody appeal to the sword: and
the gradual overthrow of those gigantic military
institutions of Europe, which menace the tranquil
ty of the world, are the strongest bulwarks Of
despotism, and the most formidable obstacles to
the advancement of civilization, and the triumphs
of pure and undefled religion"
The terms to American Subscribers are Five
Dollars per Annum, to be paid in advance. Sub
scriptions will be received by the Editor of the
Bugle, Salem, Ohio. -.

FROM Inc Una.
THE SUNBEAM AND THE BEGGAR.
BY II. F. NJ. BROWN.

I've been thinking that a sunbeam must be a
smile from Heaven: for | have been basking, as
poets say, for the past hour, in the softest rays that
ever wandered from the skies-the first | have seen
in many days. And I've been watching the rays,
as they coquettcd with the glistening boughs, and
danced, fairy-like, over icy pavements and slated
roofs, making love to everything in their way.
Have you no other MISSION" | questioned,
than just coming out from behind the curtained
sky, gliding a little hour, and then leaving q legion
of lovers in darkness? ?"
No response came from the sunbeam, but on il
went, smiling and dancing, as gayly as if no soul
doubted its sincerity. | concluded it was only
acting upon the principle of the sovereignty of the
individual: so ] thought to watch the thing Of light,
to see if there was aught of good in its individual
ism.

SIGNS OF RAIN.

The noted Dr.. JENNER thus recapitulates the
signs of a coming storm
The hollow wind begins to blow,
The clouds look black, the grass is low;
The SCOT falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cobwe5s peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed
The moon in halos hung her head
The boding shepherd heayes a sigh,
For, sea- rainbow spans the sky.
The walls are damp, the bitches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel.
IIark how the chairs and tables crack
Old Betty's joints are on the rack!
Her eorns with shooting pains torment her,
And to her bed untimely sent her.
Loud quack the dueks-the sca-fowls cry,
The distant hills are looking nigh.
How restless are the s%norting swine
The busy flies disturb the kline.
Low Ger the grass the swallow wings
The cricket, too-how sharp he sings!
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping DER her whiskered jaws.
The smoke from chimneys right ascends,
Then spreading back, to earth it bends.
The wind unsteady ycers around,
Or settling in the east is found.
Through the clear stream the fishes rise,
And nimbly catch the incautious flies.
The glow-worms numerous, clear and bright
Humid the dewy dell last night;
At dusk the squalid toad was seen,
Like quadruped, stalk Ger the green.
The whirling wind the dust obeys,
And in the rapid eddy plays.
The frog has changed his yellow vest,
And in a russell coat is dressed:
The sky is green, the air is still,
The mellow Black birds voice is shrill.
The dog, so altered in his taste,
Quits mutton bones on grass to feast;
Behold the rooks-how odd their flight
They imitete the gliding kite,
And seem precipitate to fall,
As if they felt the piercing ball.
The tender colts on back do lie,
Nor heed the traveller passing by;
In fiery red the sun doth rise,
Then wades thrO' clouds to mount the skies.
Twill surely rain-I see with sorrow
Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow.
