side in the wel-beng of her country If this
sex contributes so largely as We have affirmed,
to the progress Of civilization and refinement,
then ii can be no little aid they afford, bv
their character and exertions, to the support
Of pure political Institutions
True, the fair band of woman deposits no
vote in the ballot-box. She takes no part in
primary meetings or on days Of elections, with
the mass who place men in Office. But is she
therefore destitute Of political power? No,
she has the sacred right of petition. She may
be heard appealing to the Legislative body
for redress of the wrongs done her or of the
grievances she SufferS. Question, as some
may, the expedency of her ever exercising
this privilege, she has still greater influence, a
far greater one than the exercising of this
right can be given her, over the destinies Of
her country Think Of the mother Of Wash
ington Pcruse the biography Of the wife of
that Sainted patriot Study the character of
the elder Mrs Adams or the wife of Han
cock, and the long list of females, who lived
and toiled in the period Of the Revolution.
Could they do nothing they accomplish
little for this country? How many hearts
were cheered in the Senate Chamber; what
courage was infused on the battlefield by the
mother, companion, sister and daughter, among
the noble race thai then lived
In these latter days, what is to give integri-
ty to the statesman, purity to the patriot, and
true glory to the nation? Ii must be done
in part by woman Let her be educated, and
above all let her educate herself in intelligence,
grace and holiness, and we have no fear of
conflicts abroad, or periis at home. The lit
tie watchman shut in the security of glazed
frame does not more surely save the ship amid
darkness and storm, than does she who, at
the quiet freside, exert the influence which she
may for her country, or son, husband and
brother.

EcoNoMY.- We have but faint notion Of
| economy in this country, and there are few
| persons who seem able TO exercise its spirit in
their mode Of living. As general ;hing, young
people, clerks, and the like, calculate to live
| fully up to the amount of their income. if in
deed they do not ont-run its limits and become
involved 10 debt. So with married men, of
humble means they calculate to spend about
| as much as they get, and often find themselves
involved in debts they cannot liquidatc. Now
there is a simple rule which, if adopted, would
make people quite independent
Ia the first place, let mans income be ever
so small, he should calculate to save a little,
and to lay it by, if only five or ten dollars
year. This will be sure 10 keep him from run
ming in debt, and as soon as he finds that he
has q sum of mnney saved there is natural
incentive to add to that amount, and TINS un-
Willingly, as it were, he begins to accumulate.
This operation once commenced, he will be
surprised TO see how fast bis means improve
and then the slow but sure increase of princi-
pal by the accumulation of interest is a matter
of clear gain. In this relation our own style
Of saving banks, and new five cent saving
banks are accomplishing a work ofgreat good
being practical suggestions to the people that
cannot fail Of their influence.
Never purchase any article of dress or lux
ury until you can pay cash for it this is most
important rule to observe, and the credit sys-
TEN, in fact, has done quite as much to ruin
debtors as creditors. A vast number of little
expenses (but large in the aggregatel would
be saved if one always paid the money for the
same at the time of purchase, in place of hav
ing it charged Pay as you go, is a golden
rule, and it is true economy.
Many poor man could build a house over
his head and own it, with the price of the
cigars and tabacco be has used, to say nothing
Of the worse than useless drinks of beer

which involves unnecessary expense one leads

An Eccentric Doctor and his Patient

OF all the professions, trades or occupations
that engage the minds of men, that of physi-
clans is the most diversified. In locating he
has to find out the constitution of those he is
called upon to visit, for it is frequently the
case that success may be owing more to deep
and thorough knowledge of the constitution
applications. As an illustration of this, we
will relate an anecdote of one of our old ply
scians, who if be finds physic will not cure,
tries other means, as the case may require.
Dr. D had long been the attending
physician of lady considerably past her teens,
and affected with certain disorders incident to
a want of occupation and the care of a fami-
ly. She sends for the doctor in season and
out season he rusheS at q two forty pace and
finds his patient physically perfectly well, but,
sad and lonely, and of course afflicted with the
blues All that he can do is TO administer a
tincture with few drops of peppermint, and
the patient is well for day.
On one occaSion-a cold busterous night
the doctor had just turned nwrapping himself
snugly in his blanket, with the hope of q quiet
sleep, when loud rap aroused him.
"Who is sick" inquired the doctor.
Miss Sallie Strickland, sir she is most
dead expect she'll die before You get there -
/" I'll be along says the doctor eXclaim-
ing to himself, " that Miss Sally LII try to
cure her this time
The doctor plods along through mud and
mire, cold and rain, studying his application.
When he arrives at the dwelling of Miss Sal
ly, he finds her, as usual, in rather depressed
state of mind.
Doctor" she said, feeby, 81 expect to
die every moment | am very low. Can you
do anything for me !"
The doctor feels her pulse nothing the
matter-merely wanted company. The doc
tor becomes communicative:
Miss Sally, l was having terrible dream
when Your servant awoke me-"
What is it r. she eagerly inquired:
"I dreamed l was dead, continued the
doctor, and descended into the lower regions,
whore | met Old Scratch who Invited me to
view his dominions The inmates were en-
gagged in different occupations some playing
cards. others swindling their nei1hborS in
fue all the pursuits they followed during their
life they continued there, When Satan got
through showing me round, he exclaimed TO
the four quarters Of his kingdom that they
all should 20 to bed" for" said he. Sally
Strickland will be here directly. and there'll
be no sleep 10 my regions for a month"
The doctors speedy departure was increas-
ed 10 flight by the sight Of broomStick -four
isbing actively in his rear but the remedy
was efectual.

AFFECTING INCIDENT On one of the many
bridges in Client, stands two large brazen i'm
ages of father and son, who obtained this dis
tnguiShed mark of admiration OF their fellow
citizens by the following incident
Both the father and son were, for some of
fence against the State, condemned to die.
Some favorable circumstances appearing on
the side Of the son, he was granted a remis-
sion of his sentence, under certain provisions
in snort, he was offered a pardon on a most
cruel and barbarous condition-namey that
he would become the executioner of his father.
He at first resolutely refused to preserve his
life by means so fatal and detestabIe This is
not to be wondered at for let rs hope, for
the honor of our nature, that there are very
few sons who would not have spurned with alb
horrence life sustained on a condition so hor-
rid and unnatural The Soa. though inaeXible,
was at length overcome by the tears and en-
treaties of fond father, who represented to
him that, at all events his (the father's) life
was forfeited, and that it would be the greatest
possible consolation for him in bis last moments
to think that in his death lie was an Instrument
of his sons preservation.
The youth consented to adopt the horrible
means of recovering his life and liberty he
lifted the axe-but as it was about to fall bis
arm sunk nervelcSs, and the axe dropped from
his hand Had he had as many lives as hairs
he could have yielded them ALL one after an
other, rather than again conceive, much less
perpetrate such an act Life, liberty, every
thing vanished before the dearer interests of
lilial affection he fell upon his fathers neck
and embracing him, triumphantly exclaimed
" Ny father my father we die together I"
and then called for another eXecutioner TO full
fill the sentence of the law
Hard must their hearts indeed be-bereft
of every sentiment of virtue, every sensation
of humanity-who could could stand insenSibe
spectators of Snch scene. A sudden peal Of
involuntary applause, mixed with groaus and
sighS rent the air. The execution was Sus-
pended and on a simple report Of the trans
action to the authorities, both were pagdoned.
High rewards and honorS were conferred on
the son and finally those two admirable
brazen images were raised to commemorate
transaction so honorable to human nature, and
transmit it to the instruction and emulation of
prosperity. The statue represents the son in
the very act Of letting fall the axe.
