The Livingstone Expedition.

DR.. Livingstone and his party were then

DR.. Livingstone speaks in glowing terms
of the county which he traversed, and
he has applied to the Church Missionary
Society in London TO exert themselves for
occupying /: as most inviting missionary
field. The whole region about Lake Ny.
assa was found 10 be cotton growing
country. 1t is cultivated and manufac.
iured by the natives generally, and is OF
excellent quality. Mr.. Baines, the artist
OF the expedition, has been compelled.
from failing health, 10 come down in the

A MIGHTY RIvER.-The Amazon, the
largest river in the world, has an area Of
drainage nearly three times as large as
that o all The rivers Of Europe that empty
themselves into the Atlantic, hatis en-
lirely covered with dense primeval for
est, through which the only paths arc
those made by the river and its innumer-
able tributaries. This forest is literally
impenetrable. Humboldt remarks that
Two mission stations nigh: be only few
miles apart, and We. the residents would
require day and half to visit each
other, along the windings OF small streams.
Even the wild animals get involved in inn
penetrable masses OF wood, that they
(even the jaguar) live for a long time in
the trees, terror 10 the monkeys whose
domain they have invaded. The trees
often measure from eight to twelve feet in
diameter, and the intervals are occupied
by shrublike plants, which here, in these
tropical regions, become arborescent.-
The origin of the Amazon is unknown;
it IS nOvigable for two thousand miles
from the ocean; it is nearly one hundred
miles wide Al the mouth, and in some
places six hundred feet deep; and its tor

influence Of Females on Society.

From an accurate account OF the con-
diion Of WOMEN in any country, it would
not be difcu,t 10 infer the who'e state OF
society. So great is the influence they
exercise on the character Of men, that the
latter will be elevated or degraded, ac-
cordins TO the situation Of the weaker sex.
Where women are slaves, as in Turkey,
the men will be the same where they
sre treated as moral beings-where their
minds are cultivated, and they are con-
sidered equals, the state Of society mus!
be high, and the character OF the men en-
erge,ic and noble. There is SO much
quickness Of comprehension,so much sus-
cep,bilily Of pure and generous emotion,
SO much ardor OF affection in women, that
they constantly stimulate men 10 exerlion,
and have, at the same time, most
powerful agency in soothing the angry
feelings, and in mitigating the harsh and
narrow propenslies which are generated
in the strife OF passions.
The advantages Of giving a superior
education to women are not confined 10
them selves, bu; have salu.ary influence
on our sex. The fear that increased in
struction will render them incompetent or
neglectful in domestic life, is absurd in
theory, and completely destroyed by facts.
Women, as well as men, when once es'
lablished in life, know that there is an end
OF trifing; its soliciludes and duties multi
ply upon them equally fast; the former
are apt 10 feel them much more keenlv,
and too frequently abandon all previous
requirements 20 devote themselves wholly
10 these. But if the one sex have cuIIiva-
ted and refined minds, the other mus;
meet them from shame, if not from sym
palhy. liza man finds that his wife is net
a mere nurse or housekeeper; that she
can. when the occupations Of the day are
over, enliven a winters evening that
she can converse on the usual topics oil
literature. and enjoy the pleasures OF su'
perior conversation, or the reading OF a
valuable book, he must have a perverted
taste, indeed, fit does not make home

THE innocent Irritation of married women
is one of the denominations of modern socie-
ty. Even a desire for promiscuous admi
ration is wrong in n wife. Tho love of oEe
and his approval, should be all that she
ought to desire. Lot her bo over so beau
tiiul, it is disgusting and appalling Sigh, to
see her decorating that beauty for public
gnze; to SEQ her seeking tho attentions of
senSeloss fops around, aud rejoicing in tho
admiration of other eyes than those of her
husband. Her beauty should be for him
aIone, and not for the gaze of fools that
hutter around her. There Is always among
the sedato and wise a sensation of disgust,
when married lady attempts to ensnare or
enrrap young men BY prOfuse display OF
her charms, or an unlicensed outlay of her
smiles. Such charms and such smiles are
