BE A WOMAN.


Oft Two heard gentle mother,
AS the twilight hours began,
Pleading with son, on duty,
Urging him to be man.
But unto her blue-oyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready
Points she out the other duty,
"Strivo my dear, to be ladyl"
What's lady? Is it something
Made Of hoops. and silks, and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like tho fancy rugs and chairsg
Is il one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is humanl
If It's this to be a lady,
'Tis not this TO be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than TO be nero fashions lady
"Woman" is the brightest star.
If We, in your strong affection,
Urge your son 10 be q true man,
Urge your daughters no less strongly ,..
To raise up and be woman.
Yes, a woman-brightest model
OF that light and perfect beauty;
There the mind, and soul, and body,
Blend to work out life's great duty
Be woman-naught is higher
On the gilded list Of fame;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
BE n woman--on TO duty,
Raise the world from all that's low.
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bow
Lend thy influence TO each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions gilded lady,
Be q brave, true, wholo-souled woman.

The DYING NEVER WEEP.-It is a
striking fact-the dying never weep.-
The circle of sobbing, agonizcd hearts
around, produces not one tear. Isit that
he is insensible and stiff already in
tho chill of dissolution! That cannot
be; for he asks for his fathers hand, as if
to gain strength in the mortal struggle,
and leans on the breast of mother, broth
er or sister, with still conscious affection ;
and just before expiring at eve, after a
long days converse with the Angel of
Summons, he says to his Oldest brother
tho last and audible good night of
earth" Kiss me, kiss mep' 1t must be
because the dying have reached point
too deep for our earthly crying and weep
ing. They are face TO face with high and
holier beings-with the Father in Heaven,
and his angel throng, led on by the Son
himself; and what are griefs Of a morn
ing, tears of a dying farewell-be it that
they arc shed by the dearest on earth
in that vision bright of immortal life and
everlasting reunion?

enough legitimate business of its own to attend to-
and is uoder no necessity Of neglecting it to look

Chicago, but the work to be done ut both places
will be better done without their interference.
Our fellow-ctsens Of foreign birth will do well to

BUCmANAN,s LETTER.

If anything could add to the peculiar contempt
which the country entertains toward that " old
",public funclionary" who now exercises the au
boriiy Of President of the United States it would
bdthe letter which we publish on another page OF
this paper and which he wrote to the Hon. Robert
j. Walker in July. 1857. Mr. Walker was at
that time Governor of Kansas, and Mr.. Buchanan
writes to urge upon him faithful adherence to the
policy of leaving the people of the Territory freely
to accept or reject the Constitution then about to
be formed by the Convention at Lecompton. Moth
ing that Mr. Walker, or Mr. i ouglas, or any OF
the Republicans ever said . erward upon the
subject was whit more cided or explicit
than the repeated expressi, IS of Mr.. 3D.
chansn in this letter. The point on
(which your success depends" writes the Presi-
dent sis the submission of the Constitution to the
people of Kansas and by the people mean,
" and have no doubt you mean, the actual, bona
4" fde residents, who have been long enough 10 the
Territory to identify themselves with its fate ="
"On the question of submitting the Constitution to
"the actual, bona fde residents of Kansas" he
says in another place, "Iam 'cifing to stand or
"fan 1t is the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska
"bill, the principle of popular sovereignty and the
"pripcipe at the foundation of all popular govern.
"ment. Tile more it is discussed the stronger 1t
nil become" Again Gov. Walker is advised
" to make the great principle of the submission OF
"tbe Constitution to the bona fde residents OF
Kansas conspicuousIy prominent. On this you
twill be irresistible" "ShOuld the Convention OF
Kansas adopt. this principle, all will be settled
" barmoniousy, ard, with the blessing of Provi-
"dence, you will return triumphantly from your
arduous, important, and responsible station"
Was there ever more disgusting instance OF
official Regeneration than is contained in the fact
that the ink of this letter was scarcely dry when It's
author turned Gov. Walker out of office for adher-
ing to the very principle be had thus besought HIM
to carly into practice, and com nenced course OF
violent and pro scrptve hostility against every men,
Der of the Democratic party who would not JOIN In
forcing on the people Of Kansas this very Consttu'
tiop, though it rad never been submitted to them
And how prophetic the declaration Of the Presi-
dent that by that principle be was willing to stand
or fall Abandoning it, he fell indeed; and biz
whole history ever since has been only the record
Of one continuous degradation.
Mark, too, the cantiug SWIVEL the conclusion:
The pressure upon me continues without interces-
" sion. pray the Divine Providence, in which /
" place my trust, may graciously preserve my Lire
80 and my health until the end of my term. But
81 Gods will be done in any event"
We forbear all further comment. We must, Of
cOurse believe that the pous resignation Of the last
phrase is just as sincere and earnest the political
declarations that had preceded it.
