Mans Duty to Woman.

Let him learn to be grateful to woman for this undoubted achievement of her sex and that it is she, far more than he, and she too often in spite of him, who has kept all Chris tendon from lapsing back into barbarism- kept mercy and truth from being utterly over borne by those two greedy monsters, money and war. Let him be grateful for this, that almost every great soul that has led forward or lifted up the race, has been furnished for each noble deed, and inspired with patriotic and holy aspiration, by the untiring tortituuc of some Spartan, or more than Spnrtan---some Christian mother. Moses, the dcl!vcrcr of his people, drawn out of the Nile by the Kings daughter some one has hintcd, is only syul- bol of the way that womans better instincts always outwit the tyran,ical diplomacy of man. Let him cheerfully remember that though the sinewy sex achieves enterprise on public the atres, it is the nerve ;u"l scn>illlity of the eth CT that arm and nfame the soul in secret A man discovered America, but woman equipped the voyage So everywhere man executes the performance but woman trains the man. Every eittctual person leaving his mark upon the world, is but another Columbus fer whose furnishing some Isabela in tile form of his mother, lays down her jcweiry, Ter van ities and her comfort
 Above all, let not man practice upon woman the perpetual and shameless falschood of pre- tenoing admiration, and acting contempt. Let them not assent to her very high opinion, as if she were not strong enough to maintain it against opposition, nor yet manufacture opin- ion for her, aud force it on her lip by dictation Let them not cruelty her emotions, HOT ridcule her frailty; nor crush her individuality, nor , insult her independence, nor play off mean jcsts upon her honor in conviviol companies, nor bandy unclear doubts of her. as wretchcd substitute for wit nor whisper vulgar suspi- cions of her purity which, as compared with their o&n, is like the immaculate witness of angels. Let them remember that, for the ghastly spectacle of her blasted chastity they are answerable. Let them multiply her social advantages, enhance her dignity, minister to her intelligence, and by much gentleness, strive if they can, to become the equals of her heart-Rer. r. D. H~atingtcm.

LOVE AND MANAGEMENr-Th following is the singular history of Mr. Labouchere, late a member of the British Cabinet In 1922 he was clerk in the banking house of MT. Hope, in Amsterdam, and was sent by his patron to Lord Barring, the celebrated banker of Lou- don, to negotiate loan. He displayed in this flair so much ability that he attracted the attention of the English banker An ! said he one day to Lord Barring, you have charming daughter, will you not accord me her hand ? Young man, no pleasantly 1 like you much, but how conld Miss Barring be- come the wife of a common clerk Y Butt said Lahonchere, if were associated with Mir. Hope r 'Ah that is very different, and would most materially lessen the inequa- ity between yoa' Mir l.. returned to Amster- dam, and said to his patron, Mir. Hope, 1 must be your partner 7 My friend do you think of that |? You are without fortune. and - But if I were member of Lord Earrings family ? Indeed l. Why, then would I give you partnership on the spot y
 On the strength of these two promises MT. l.. returned to England, and about two menths afterwards, married Miss Barring, because he had the promise of Mir. Hope to make him partner as soon as he was married to her and became associated with Mr. Hope because he married Miss Barring.

Iyp1A-TNs Cruelty of Sapersfition .--One of the relations of the Rajah of Keouthul, hill state in India, had @ child who was scri. onsly ill. This illness was attributed to tho sorccries of an old woman upwards of sevetv years of age. It was, with the Rajahs fs consent and cognZa nce determined to try he by the water ordeal The woman was accord ingIy bound hand and foot, and thrown into tank Strange to say she floated This was regarded as undonbted confirmation of her w,tchcraft. She was therefore dragged from the tank to ncighboring hut, burnt all over the body with red-hot irons, and left for dead. She recovered, managed to crawl to Smlay, and laid her case before Lord William Hay. The superintendent found the womans state ment true, and mulctcd the Rajah of $5O0O, 5000 of which were given to the woman for compensation. Measures were taken that the Raiah should not extort the fine from his sub i,cts, aud it was intimated that unless he gov erned better, his state would be resumed by the Company.

Whole No. 1885

In the reign of James I, men and women wore looking glasses in public the men, as breaches or ornaments in their hats, and the women. at their girdles, on their bosoms, or sometimes (ike the ladies of our day) in the centre of their fans, which were then made of feathers inserted into silver or ivory tubes.
 At feasts every guest brought his own kn fe, and whetstone was placed behind the door, upon which he sharpened his knife before he entered.
 In l664 a Dutchman named William Boon- en- brought the first coach into England and it is said the sight of it put both horses and men into amazement. Some said 1t was a crab shell brought from China and some imagln- ed it to be one of the Pagan temples in which the cannibals adored the Devil.
 In 1884, two rich widows desired to marry the Earl ef Huntington for the sake of the title. One of them offered to lay down G20,. 900 on the day of her marriage. The other offered 45 000 year during his life, and 46,- 900 in cash, he to go with her to fte church and marry her: immediately after the ceremo- ny, they were to take leave at the church door and never to see each other again.
 In Clarendon's paper is the following:
 At Henleys on Thames, woman speaking against taxation imposed by Parliament, was ordered by the committee to have her tongue fastened by nail to the copy on tree by the way side on a market day, which was ac- cordingly done, and a paper in great letters, setting forth the heinouSness of her crime.

A HOLY Spor.-It is common to speak of the house of public worship as holy place but it has no exclusive sanctity. The hoest spot on earth is that where the soul breathes its purest vows aud forms or executes it's mo- blest purposes aud on this ground, were to seek the holest spot in our city, I should not go to your splendid sanctuaries, but to closets of private prayer. Perhaps the Holy of Holies,' among you is some dark narrow room, from which most of us would shrink as unfit for human habitation but God dwens there. He hears there music more grateful than the swell of your organs he sees there beauty snch as nature in her robes of Spring does not unfold for there he meets, and sees and hears the humbl,st, most thankful, most trustful worshipper : sees the sorest trials se- rene'y borne, the deepest injuries forgiven i; sees the tolls and sacrifices cheerfully sustain ed, and death approach through lonely ill., ness, with triumphant faith. The consecra- tion which such virtues shed over the obseur- est spot is not, aud cannot be communicated by any of those outward rites by which our splendid structures are dedicated to God.

Southey OH Duelling.

Lord Byron, it is well known, was mnch galed by some severe stricture made by Sou they on hs character and writings, and an nouuced bis intention of demanding the sat isfaction due to gentleman" For some req son the challenge was never sent, but, in anti cipation of 1t, the Laureate prepared the fol- lowing reply, which was found among his pa- pers
 "Sir-I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt of your letter, and do myself the pleasure of replying to it without delay.
 "In affairs of this kind the parties ought to meet on equal terms. But to establish equality between you and me, there are three things which ought to be done and then a fourth also becomes necessary before l can meet you on the field.
 |. First, you must marry and have fonr cbl- dren. Please to be particular in having them girls.
 "Second, you must provo that the greater part of the provision you make for them de- peDds upon your life, ard you must be under bonds of four thousand pounds not to be hang ed, nor to commit suicide, and not to be killed in duel which are the conditions upon which I have effected an insurance on my own life for the benefit of my wife and daughters.
 "Third, must tell three distinct falsehoods concerning you upon the hustngs, or in some other no less public assembly and I shall neither be able to do this nor to meet you af- forwards il the manner you propose, unless you can perform the fourth thiug which is:
 You must convert me from the Christian religion.
 "Tl all this be accomplished, our dispute must be carried on without the use Of any more iron chan is necessary for the bIacklng our ink or nnendiDg our pens or any more lead than enters into the composition of the Edinburgh Rsv;sw!

GAIT AN INDICATION OF CHARACTER.-Obser wing persons move slow-thcir heads move alternately from side to side, while they occa- sionally stop and turn round. Careful persons lift their feet high, and place them down fiat and firm Sometimes they stoop down, pick mp some little obstruction, and place it quietly by the Way Calculating persons generally walk with their hands in their pockets, and their heads slightly inclined. Modest persons generally softly for fear of being observed. Tmid persons often step off from the sidewalk on meeting another, and always go round persons "toc out,' and have long swing to ceaneousy Careless persons are forever stubbing their toes. Lazy persons sclape about loosely with their heels, aud are first on one side of the walk and then on the other Very stroLg minded persons have their toes d. recty in front of them, and have kind ol stamp movement. Unstable persons walk fast and slow by turns. Venturous persons try all roads, frequently climb the fences instead Of going through the gate, and never let down bar. One-idea persons and very selfish ones to-D.' Cross persons are apt to bit thelr knees together. Good-natured persons snap their thumb and finger every few steps. Fun loving persons have kind of jig meyemen t.. Absent-minded persons often take the wrong road. and sometimes fnd themselves up to their knees in mud d-puddle, although the side walks are excellent. Dgnifed men move slow and erect. Fast persons cat across the cor ner, kick every dog they meet, knock down the little children, run against tine ladies, and hit every twelfth mans ribs with their elbows. Very neat men occasionally stop to wipe the dust from their boets-their hands hang by their sides. Very polite persons are some times seen lowing in their course to black ser want girls and black stumps.

AN ELEGANT ExrRAcT:-Oh who in the course of his life has not felt some joy without a S. .curity and without morrow when life seems concentrated in one short hour which we woad wish to make eternal, and which we feel slipping away minute by minute, while we listen to the pendulum, which counts the sec onds, or look at the hand that seems to gal lop over the dial, or watch carriage wheel of which each turn abridges distance, or hear ken to the splashing of prow, that distances the waves, and brings us nearer 10 the shore where we must descend from the heaven of our dreams, on the bleak and barren strand of harsh reality ?-Lamartine.

 Enormous sights of trouble TT would be the poorest sort of fun, Not able scarce to carry one,

TIE GAkkorE.-Few people knew the mean ing of this phrase, now in every mouth. 1t IS simply the Spanish word for a stick, which was applied to twist the cord in the old-fash' ioned days of executions: It has acquired technical precision of meaning; applicable to assaults and robberies, when the victim is stupefed either by the forced inhalation ei ether, OF by mechanical pressure on the respi' rstory organs.

SPEECH AND S1LENcE-Tbe ear and tho eye are the minds receivers, but the tongue is only busy in expending the treasure received. If. therefore, the revenues of the mind be uttered as fast, or faster than they are receieved, it must needs be bare and can never lay up for purchase. But if the receivers take in still; withour utterance, the mind may soon gro" a burden to itself, and unproftable to others: 1 will not lay mp too much and utter nothlrgi lest be covetous nor spend much and store up little lest be prodigal and poor.

L1FE-G1v1NG TEXTS Suppose that each were to mark in golden letters the text which has been to him the gate of heaven the text through whose open lattice reconciled God has looked forth on him, or through whose tel escopc he first has glimpsed the cross. The Ethiopian chamberlain would mark the fifty third chapter of Isaiah, for it was when read ing about the Lamb led to the slaughter, that his eyes were directed to the Lamb of God who takcth away the sin of the world, and he went his way rejoicing. The English martyr Bnney, would indicate the faithful saying, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin- ners, of whom I am tue chief , for it Was in sight of these words that the burden fell from his back which fasts and penances had only rendered more weiyhty. There was strcil- eli deer" who had long been panting for the Eater-brooks, but he had yet found no comfort ;; When one day, taking up Testament, it open ed at the words, "Whom God has set forth a propitiation through faith in his blood, to de- clare his righteousness for the sins that arc past :" and instantly realized the sufflcicncy of the atonement, and embraced the Gospel ; and, doubtless, the bard of Omcy would signaize, by the most brill ant memorial, the spot where the Sun of Righteousness first shone into his soul. "Now unto the King eternal, immortal and invisible the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever : amen" These were 1 the words which instantly converted into v- ing temple the calm and stately mind of Jona- than Edwards and we may be sure that like Jacob who at Luz would always see the light of the ladder lingering-every time he turned to the passage, even in his most curso- ry perusal, the devout theologian would re- 1 ccive surviving trace of that manifestation, which into his vacant, wistful soul brought |" the only wise God" and in glorifying that God gave him an object worthy the vastest powers and the longest existence
