The reused and frightened conscience of
Minerva had fought desperate battle with
its threefod cnemy-wealth, philosophy,
ambition. But might had overcome right,
and the guardian of virtue and religion
was crushed into silence, and yet more
deadly sleep. Surrounded by hatterers
knelt to by the opposite sex; hailed with
enthusiastic applause whenever she spoke,
and wherever she appeared caressed and
loaded with benefits by her adopted moth.
or who did not conceal her alteration OF
her idol; living in splendor and luxury
knowing no care or trial-what was there
to allure, or warm her to holier or AT
humble course.
Conscience, often crushed, was now pow
erless-dead. The cause she had espouset
rose in her estimation to the highest excel
lence and import ance; and she blushe

for the weakness she had BETRAYED in the
absence Of her best friend. The teaching
of that friend now rcigned triumphant over
her fettered mind. Her bosom glowed
with the most ardent enthusiasm, in that
exalted philosophy which had enabled her
to overcome the voice of nature, and crush
the scorpion stings of conscience. All was
now peace, peace, where there should be
no peace.
Mrs. Woobyman was now in the zenith
Of her own glory. The most distinguished
oratorIn the association of Woman's Rights,
and modern philosophy. Her daughter
bid fair to equal her in all her endowments,
in all her perfections Of natural powers
Ssrs~as inGeesl her idol. She had made.her
hel goddess and she now worshipped her
with all her soul. She was to astound the
world by her eloquence, her surprising
brilIiancy in her phiIosophic attainments.
She was to place Woman Oh the pinnacle
Of fame side by side with the greatest,
w!sest, and most excellent of mankind-
No pains were spared, no sacrifices shruuk
from, which could accomplish this object.
Night after night, and day after day was
this splendid disciple instructed and cxer-
cised in the brilliant part she was destined
to act in life; and amply did her patron
ess deem herself rewarded.
Mrs. Woodbyman had been disgusted
within arriagc in early life she thought it
an unnecessary and slayish confinement
For her own part she had no desire, to
enter into it again. She abhorred it
Her whole soul was devoted to the cman-
cipation Of Woman from the thraldom OF
socicty-of man. Her young and bcauti-
tiful disciple she had devoted to the same
glorious cause with herself 1t did not en-
ter into the most distant imagination of
Mrs. WooLbyman, that Minerva, the beau
tiful champion Of her wronged sex, would
ever condescend to accept any man, as a
partner in a life of such splendid achieve
mcnts.
Nature, all wise nature, dictated no such
indissoluble bonds. Slaves of superstition,
might submit to the absurd bondage, not
so the Independent, intelligent Rcstorcrs
OF Womau's Rights.

a New Years Call on the President

a correspondent of the Boston Advert
ser thus describes his New Years visit to
Mr.. Buchanan =
while L was out on the avenue vester-
day engaged in the routine of preciipitate
calls essential to the anniversary, some evil
late prompted one of the party to propose
that we should pay our respects at tba
w hlte House, where Mr.. Buchanan vas
advertised in the daily prints as beinr on
exhibition from II till two o'clock nrecisn-
ly." ~ ti0oiS'-
Iaklns our place in the ranks of the
unshaken, We were ushered though tbe
large antechamber along Gordon Of a.
least fifty policemen in uniform, to room
where we passed in similar review dozen
deputy marshals of the district. In the
next chamber stood the President in ac-
1--WE gymnastlc exercise, flanked by two
stout IRISH constables to preserve order in
case OF jam or fight. At short dis
tance beyond was stationed Miss Lane. at
tended BY Marshal Selden, whose duty
seemed to be to repeat incessantly. "Pay
your respects to this lady," '.Pay your re-
spects to this lady," which duty had been
SO faithfully performed that he found a
difficulty in articulation, such as is often
experienced by nursery maids in rehears-
ing the exploits Of Peter Piper. Having
enjoyed my shake, and had my pocket
picked simultaneously, (crime from which
excullpate the President both his hands
being busy at the time,) we were showed
along another Gordon of police into the
East Room, out of which We were ushered
INTO ball, and then expelled from the
building through window, over a plat
form Of boards, lined with policemen on
eaen slde. All this was accomplished to
the tune of the Star-Spangled Banner,
played by feeble band in an invisible
chamber.

Ae Surprise is often expressed at the
PfodlgIous success of Northern periodicals.
while southern publications of equal or sn,
Perlor merit are suffered to languisb and
ole: We think this difference NAV be ex-
Plalned on some other ground than, that
the people of the South do not read or aro
incapable of approaching literary excel
renee. One secret of the large circulation
which Northern periodicals obtain. Is thor
g1treme ext f0erality to the country press
1ney never refuse an exchange with anv
paper however insignificant its character
or however limited in its sphere of infu,
eace. The exchange lists of Harper's
1H0nttfy or Godey's LADIES' Book, are no
doubt larger than the subscription list of
any monthly published in the South Bv
TINS means, they have cheap and profit
ape al means Of advertising, which brings
Ghem 5ilea a large patronage with comparatively
little effort. Many of our Southern ionr-
nallsts n adopt course the very reverse Of
TINS. They seem 10 think that every conv
which they exchange for newspaner i
so much thrown away. Neglectina this
means OF making themselves known TO the
people, their expectation of a liberal SUP
port Is unreasonable. The Southern Lit
e1ory y Messenger, RusseEs Magazine and
DeBo0's Regiea0 are said to be excellent
works OF which the South should feel
proud We never see them, and, iudginp
oy the number Of notices of them which
we ind, their exchange favors are few, in
deed We would be glad to see these pc
aa5 as well as others that are trying
10 Dulld up Southern literature, succeed,
ana receive that support which is now Civ
en- to Northern publications. But this
tney can never do until they learn to vie
with them in their liberality to the daily
and weekly press.
