Woman.

What Is she? what is her influence
She is the guardian of man; she it is thai
forms the mind; she it is that instills in the
bosom Of the child the first principles Of
truth and honor--of love and respect fol
God and man. By her teachings does the
child know tight from wrong, good from
evil. What a responsibility is hers? lie,
the instruction be for good; let the child S
first impressions be all of that nature that
would cause him or her to look to God for
aid, for strength, for resolution 10 do right.
Let those early impressions be SO fiAed and
the mind strengthened and fortified by the
example and instruction ofthe mother, that
the evil influences of the world may fall
rs the blunted arrow or broken spear from
the impenctrable armor that girds the war
rior on the field ofbatlle. What have we
more fair to look upon? They are the fair
est Of Gods creatures--a true mau n true
woman--and this is womau's work. She
is appointed of all Gods creatures a. the
one most capable of performing this good
and glorious work. See the young man
who has strayed from the path of virtue
and rectitude, who is fast hasteRing to de-
struction? How is he rescued from the
yawning gulf that has opened to receive
him? by seproach and scorn, by contnme-
ly and contempt? No! Would he brook
reproofl from those of his own sex? No!
1t would CRATE harshly upon his ear. How
then is this to be accomplished? will
tell you: let the words of warming be whis-
psred by the loved one--mt Their or sister,
or perhaps one that is dearer, and what is
the result. His heart is touched: he can
not reply harshly to that loved one. He
stops: he thinks: he sees the folly and wick
edness of his past life--he is saved To
woman alone is this power given. Let pure
and true woman then know that in her are
the destinies Of the rising generation YES
ted. Let her then realize her position
Lot her WELD her influence for the good of
her brother. Let us, Lords Of creation,
be guided by her, for where is the pure
and true woman that would counsel to evil.
Then let mothers think of this. Let the
early training of your children be govern
ed by the knowle 1ge you possess Of good
and evil. Of right and wrong. Teach them
in their youth that the way Of the trans
gressor is hard. Let your daughters be
taught in their youth the power they pos
scss. the influence they may WELD over
their brother man. Let your sons be taught
to look upon woman as their equal, the il
superior, 10 respect and love them "a pure
and true, and what happy change what
crime, what vice, and oh, how much SITTER
ing will be saved Oh, woman! yours is
a mighty, a glorious work; but We are we'll
chosen. Then fail not in your duty to
God, your brother, your duty to yourself.
Be gentle, be kind, but be firm Remem-
Der that soft answer turneth away wrath
and softens the heart, that grievous words

we shall not be surprised There is no
doubt but that innumerable letters are pub
iished from men who have never seen the
mines. The following from the lafayette
Daily Courier, February list, is worthy Of
consideration.
James W. Goodwin, formerly Of Ham
iton O, and more recently of Kansas,
dropped in upon us this morning. He has
just returned from Pixies Peak, and gives
rather discouraging account of the new
FL Dorado. He remarked that he had seen
the Elephant to his satisfaction, and test
ing the mines under the most favorable
circumstances, no is content to return to
the States and go to work at day wages
He spent two months in the mining region
worked Ike slave, suffered the great
est privation, and realized less than an av-
erage Of sixtyfive cents \ day. as the fruit
Of his toll This is rather discouraging
statement. but it may be received as fully
reliable. Those of our young men who
are contemplating the trip, had better
stop to consider it."

From letter in another column, 1t will be
seen that serious difficulty threatens parts Of the
counties Of IL kins and Linn. 1t aEisss, 80 far
as NC are able to Judge, from the desire Of tue
u, i, officials to uatelecs out Of the poor hard
working settlers. Doubtless these gentlemen
have bled pretty freely in trying to make Kan
sas Democratic State; but We submit it is
hardly right to tax the settlers to reimburse
them for their wasted expenditures. There
was no necessity Of their engaeing in the bust.
The oppression Of these poor settlers upon
the so-caflcd Miami lands, affer being assured
time aud again by The government officials that
they should be protected and their settlements
respected, equals any thing Of the kind tho bitter
experience Of Kansas has yet witnessed. We
beg Of these gentlemen to pause in their course.
