WQMAN,S RIGHTS AND WRONGS.

One of the surest tests Of the progress
which country, has made in civilization, is
the treatment to which females are subject
ed. When we say treatment, we mean, of
course, general treatment, for if the occa-
sional whippings, &C., of ladies by their
liege lords, which the local columns Of our
journals record, were taken as criterion,
we are very much afraid that some of our
American cities would rank several degrees
lower in the social scale than Patagonia or
New Zealand. 1t is the general treatment
which woman receives from man that we
speak of. and which in our opinion shows,
pretty conclusively, how far he is removed
from that state Of barbarism which degrades
her almost to a level with the brutes
America has always been noted for the re-
spect and courtesy shown to. the weaker
sex. and Missouri, we see, has lately taken
occasion to improve upon this courtesy by
granting to the female portion of its popu-
iatiion i ton more solid privileges than that Of
being treated with politeness. An act has
lately been passed in that State providing
that If any person shall desert his 1Fife, or
shall from Worthessuess, drunkenness, Of

ADVICE TO YOU'VE FEMALEs.-Never mar
ry man without the consent of your par
ents. No matter how much you may fancy
you love him, you cannot expect a blessing
on your union, if you persist in going con-
trary to the better judgment of those who
are appointed by Providence to watch over
and advise you for your good. They of
course, have had more experience, and are
better qualified to judge than you can be,
who are but just setting forth in the pathway
of life, young, inexperienced, and too ready
to form favorable opinions where your af
fections are concerned. Let them be your
con6dants; open your heart to themas soon
as you are aware that anything of this sort
exists. would con6de the secret to my
parents as soon as would acknowledge it
to my own bosom. Theirs is not the cold,
unsympathizing Judgment of the world; it
springs from deep affection and interest in
your lasting welfare, for what comfort would
it be to them to mar your happiness? You,
whom they have watched and guarded from
helpless infancy, with such undying affection
as parents only can feel. Recompense their
love, then as far as in your power, by conf
ding in them, and seeking their counsel; be
assured you will loose nothing by it; and
though you might meet with disappointments
now, it will soon pass away, and in after
years you will be attended by the blessing
of Him who has said, .".Honor thy father
and thy mother r.'-Ad0ocate and Guardian.

a HINT TO FEMALES WHO RIDE In CARS.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati COM
mercial is to be credited with the following
seasonable anecdote: =,
A gentleman entered the "ladies csr"
upon one of the eastern roads, and as the
day was chilly, appropriated an entire seat
in the vicinity Of the stove. Passengers
crowded in at every station, and soon every
seat was taken except the one occupied by
himself. Presently two ladies' $50 they ap-
,pearedl l.entered the carr andss no one SEEM
ED mclnsdto offer agacancy at his own dis
comfort, our friend, whose gallantry is pro-
verbal. gathered up his. shawl, portmanteau
and himself, arose, motioned the ladies for
ward, assisted them into the seat, and took
standing position not far distant: Not so
much as a smile or bow recognised, the
kindness was evidently considered a
mark of respect due to female dignity
privilege which any gentleman might be
proud to acknowledge. /. -.
ssCoolly done," remarked an individual
in iuxtaposition to our friend. .ir.a;
s'Decidedly," was the laughing reply,
"but I'll give them a lesson by and by, and
one they'll be likely to remember" .
"Why, thee won't say anything: slrelyP
"Indeed, will-the opportunity is too
good to be lost;" and somewhat annoyed,
it must be confessed, though less by the
loss Of his seat than by the rudeness Of its
ungracious occupants, he walked away to-
hewindow and occupied his vision with
the things without Another station-an:
other stop-the ladies rose to depart. They
had nearly reached the door when clear,
manly voice called out, "Ladies." There
was general hush, while every eye was
turned upon che serene countenance of our
traveller. Ladies, you have occupied my
seat during the ride from l., and | can.
not allow you to leave without expressing
my sense of the obligation, also the hope
that when next you enter. a crowded car
and gentleman vacates his seat for your
accommodation, you will at least have the
politeness to thank him." ,.-s-y
A shout ofsapplause rewarded the speak
er, and the ladies, lowering their confused
faces, retreated hastily, to digest, as best
they might, this sudden but merited rebuke.
Did every lady, especially every yoang
lady, know there is always in eyeryAcar,
omnibus, steamboat or other public convey
ance, Notwithstanding the ordinary external
aspect of its occupants, selfappointed
jury watching her actions and ready to pass
sentence thereon, she would look well to
her manners" and, in cultivating those in
dispensable outward semblances of good
will, she would >uneonsciously foster the
germs of an active and wide,speading be-
neyolence. Unobtrusive words of kindness
cost nothing beyond the effort of speaking,
and many q weary pilgrimage has been
frightened thereby. A simple "Thank
you," coined in the heart and rung upon the
lips with the genuine sound of the " true
metal" is more efficient weapon than the
sword of the conqueror.

Two LAWS FOR THE LADIES.

l. Before you bow to lady in the street,
permit her to decide whether you may DO
so or not, by at least look of recognition.
2. When your companion bows to lady
YOU should do the same. When gentle
man bows to lady in your company, al
ways bow to him in return.
Nothing is so i'll understood in America,
as those conventional laws of society, so
we'll understood and practiced in Europe.
Ladies complain that gentlemen pass them
by in the streets unnoticed, when, an tact;
the fault arises from their own breach Of po-
liteness. 1t is their duty to do the amiable
first for it is privilege which ladies enjoy
of choosing their own associates or acqua1n'
tances. No gentleman likes to risk the being
cut in the streets BY. lady through pre-.
mature salute Too many ladies, it would
seem, "don't know their trade" OF politeness:
Meeting ladies in the streets, whom one has
casually met in company, they seldom bow,
unless he bows first and when gentleman
never departs from the rule fgood-breeding,
except occasionally by way of experiment,
his acquaintances do not multiply, but ne
stands probably charged with rudeness. The
rule is plain. A lady must be civil to a
gentleman in whose company she is casually
brought; but gentleman is not upon TINS
to presume upon acquaintanceship the first
time he afterwards meets her int street.
If it be her will, she gives some token OF
recognition, when the gentleman may bow
otherwise he must pass on and consider him.
self stranger: No lady need hesitate to
bow to gentleman, for he will promptly
and politely answer, even if he has forgot.
ten his fair ssluter. None but brute can
do otherwise. Should he pass on rudely,
his character is declared, and there is cheap
riddance. Poiteness, or good-breeding, is
like law" the reason of things" '' -

And keep it, this is all I ask.
Honor thee! yes, if thou wilt live
A life Of truth and purity;
When have tccn thy worthiness,

Obey! when I have fully learned
Each want and wish to understand,
I'll learn the wisdom to obey,
If thou hast wisdom to command.

A HARD CAsE.-Poor people have ahard
time in this little world Of ours. Even in
matters of religion, there is vast difference
between Lazarus and Dives, as the following
anecdote, sent us by a friend, will illustrate ;
Old Billy c. had attended great
revival, and in common with many others,
he was converted, and baptized. Not many
weeks afterwards, one of his neighbors met
him reeling home from the court ground,
with considerable brick in his hat.
"Hello, uncle Billy" said the friend,
{" l thought you had joined the church"
$50 did, answered uncle Billy making
desperate effort to stand still, $50 did,
deems, and would bin right down good
Baptist if they hadn't treated me so ever
lasting mean at the water. Didn't you nev-
er hear about it Jeems?"
"Never did,"
"Then I'll tell you all about it: You see
when we cum to the baptizin' place, thar
was me and old jerks, the rich old 'Squir,
war to be dipped at the same time. Well,
the minister tuck the 'Squir in fust but
didn't mind that much as thought 'twould
be jest as good when | come; so he led him
in and after dippin' him under he raisedhim
up mitey keerfhl and wiped all the water of
his face and led him out. Then come my
turn, and instead of lifting me out like he
did the 'Squir he give me one slosh, and
left me crawlin' about on the bottom like a
d-n-d mud kurklei :"

~ Chesterfield was at rout in France
where Voltaire was one ofthe guests. Ches-
terfeld seemed gazing about the brilliant
circle of ladies. Voltaire accosted him -
: "My lord, | know you are Judge: which
are the more beautiful, the English or the
French ladies?''
:" Upon my word" replied Chesterfield,
with his usual presence Of mind, 81 am no
judge of paintings"
Some time afterward Voltaire, being in
London, happened to be at "a nobleman's
party with Chesterfield. A lady in the CON-
pany, prodigiously rouged, directed her
whole discourse to Voltaire, and engrossed
his whole conversation. Chesterfield came
up, tapped him on the shoulder, and sale, =
"Sir, take care that you are not captiva-

scorn to be taken by an English craft under
