Tnanence of Females On sOeietg.

From an accurate account Of the condition
Of women. In any country, it would not be
difficult to infer the whole state OF society
So great is the influence they exercise on the
character of men, that the latter will be ele-
waited or degraded according to the situation
of the weaker sex. Where women are slaves
as in Turkey, the men will be tho same =
where they are treated as mortal beings
where their minds are cultivated, and they
are considered equals-the state OF society
must be high, and the character OF the men
energetic aud noble. There is SO much
quich ness oil comprehension, so much sucepti-
blity of pure and generous emotion, so much
ardor Of affection in women, that they con-
stantly stimulate men to excrtion, and have,
at the same time, a most powerful agency
in soothing the angry feelings and in mitigat-
ing the harsh and narrow propensities which
are generated in the strife Of passions.
The advantages of giving superior edu-
cation to women are not confined to themsel-
yes, but have sautary influence on our sex.
The fear that increased instruction will rem

tic life, is absurd in theory, and completely
destroyed by facts. Women as well as men,
when once established in life, know that there
is an end of triAing; its solicitudes and
duties multiply upon them equally fast +; the
former are apt to feel them much more keen
y and too frequently abandon all previous
requirements to devote themselves wholly to
these. But if the one sex have cultivated
and refined minds, the other must meet them
from shame if not from Sympathy. If man
finds that his wife is not mere nurse or q
housckeeper; that she can, when the occupa-
tons of the day are over, eniveu winters
evening; that she can converse on the usual
topics Of literature, and enjoy the pleasures
of superior conversation, or the reading Of
valuable book, he must have perverted
taste, indeed, if it does not make home still
dearer, and prevent him from resorting to
taverns for recreation. The benefits to her
children need not be mentioned; instruction
and cultivated taste in a mother enhance
their respect and affection for her and their
love of home, and throw charm over tho
whole scene Of domestic lilS-Wm. Tudor.

The SABBArH.-This is the loveliest, bright
est day of the week, to spiritual mind.
These rests refresh the soul in God, that finds
nothing but turmoil in the creature. Should
not this day be welcome to the soul, that sets
it free to mind its own business, which has
other days to attend to the business Of its
servant, the body2 And these are certain
pledge to it of that expected freedom when
it shall enter on an eternal Sabbath, and rest
in Him forever who is the only rest of the
soul.--Leiqbton.

Truth is the most powerful thing in the
world, since even fiction itself must be govern
ed by it, and can only please by its resem-
blance. Tho appearance of reality is neceS-
sary to make any passion agreeably repre-
scented, and to be able to move others, we
must be moved ourselves, or at least seem to
be so, upon some probable grounds.

d" Pe-hap. I Can Help Father.n

T.
" Perhaps | can help father" said little
John, as LIE locks up into his mothers anx-
ious face. He has seen her sad, anxious look.
He has watched his father'coming home from
his daily toll with a care-worn brow, and
east ng troubled glance toward the cradle
where the twin babes are lying. He is sure
that som thing is wrong and looking up with
pleading earlle>tneSs as he stands by his
mothers knee, hc begs to know the truth, for
perhaps he " can help father"
John is too young to give his father much
assistance. The strength and wisdom of a
seven-year old boy will not be able to combat
vigorously with the world. But the mothers
pleased, tender loo as she returns his glance,
shows that, young as he is, his affection, his
sympathy, have already been Of USE
The youngest child may hep his parents.
Harry, Mary, when your father comes home
tired from his daily work, your kiss of love
or sympathy may be as refreshing to his
spirit as the dew to the flowers. You may
not be able to bring days earnings in your
hand and add them to the family store, and
yet your fathers heart will bless you for
your help. You may tighten your mothers
cares-you may spring quickly to do her
bidding; you may hold Willie, the babe, in
your arms, and still his fretful crying while
your mother is preparing the noon day meal /;
you may come gently to your mother as she
is tired with the toll Of the day, and may
whisper in her ear, Mother, 1 love you
Again, like the dew upon the flowers, shall
your word or deed of kindness bring refresh
ment to your mothers heart .-... r.
Honor thy father and thy mother" is
the commandment to which God has annexed
his especial promise. The child who is obe-
dent and reverent in youth, shall have Gods
blessing in his maturer years. The child
who is grief to his parents heart, may yet
live to know childs ingratitude to himself,
and more than all, shall bring down upon
himself the dispcasure of the Lord.
Do what you can to help your earthly
parents. They deserve from you all kind
ness and love. Do all you can to help on
the work of your heavenly Parent. He has
a work to be done in the world. Begin in
your early days to love his service. There is
a place for you. Find it. There is work
for you. Do it-Sund0y School Banner.

The True Riches.

Health, and the simplest fare. If thou hast these,
Accompanied with one single steadfast friend
A conscience which thou dost not fear to bare
To the great Searcher's eye-and that strong hope
Whose eye meier tires, een DER the yawning grave,
Go thou thy way thou art an emperor ..
Bear ing thy crown e'er with thee; go thy way,
And thank thy God, who hath bestowed on thee
The gold which Monsrchs covet, but in vain.

A LESSON FOR THE oUNG.-The broad,
arrowy Rhone with its bright blue waters
so blue that an artist who should paint them
as they are, would be deemed to have drawn
the eoloring from his own imagination-darts
from Lake Leman with the seeming joyous
ness of life, and is presently assailed by the
turbid, boisterous Arve, which comes tearing
down from the glaciers of Mount Blanc. The
beautiful Rhone disdains the proffcred union,
and for few miles the rivers flow on side by
side, the one all purity, the other all pollution,
without mingling. The Arve, however, perse-
veres in malign solicitations, until at length
the noble stream consents to the fatal en-
brace, and gradually exchanges its sparkling
face for the foul hue of its destroyer. So
have i seen an ingenious youth, who has left
the shelter Of rural homes to engage in the
traffic of our great cities, hold himself aloof
for time from the fascina ions of vice, and
then gradually surrender his innocence and
purity to the blandi shments of the world, and
sink at length into premature and dishonor-
able gravel sa9 "a

METHODIST VIRGINIA CHURCH AND
SLAVERY.

At a meeting Of the official and other members
Of Fincastle Circuit, Roanoke District, held at
Black Creek Church, June 30th, 1860, for the pur-
pose Of considering the action of the late General
Conference on the subjec. Of slavery, Rev. Alfred
Buhrman was called to the Chair, and Andrew L.
Pitzer elected Secretary.
A Committee to draft q preamble and resolu-
tons reported the following, which, on motion,
was adopted unanimously -
Whereas, the late General Conference q the M.
Z. Church, at its late session in Buffalo, resolved,
by q very large majority, to insert q new chapter
in the discipline on the subject Of slavery, and
whereas, said chapter declares the buying, selling
and holding Of human beings as %chattelS, to be
%sinful, and admonishes Preachers and People to
use nj. lawful and Christian means for it's extirpa-
ton, and whereas said declaration and admonition
is on inquisition into the motives underlying the
relation between master and slave, subversiVe Of
our interests, aud the enforcement of which, by
our preachers, would make them ~violators of and
amenable to the laws of our State, and whereas
we regard the declaration false in theory, and the
udmonition impossible in practice, and whereas
we believe that we cannot any longer retain our
connection with the Northern Conferences, and
maintain our self-respect and accomplish our work
Gs Christian men in this State ; therefore, be it
Resolved, l. That while the legislative change
of chapter I on slavery has not the form Of posi-
tive statute, it does in our judgment mako slave
holding Unfortunately sinful, and in fact consti'
tutes a new term of membership. Therefore, we
s~olemnly, and in the fear Of God, r~epudiate the
action Of the General Conference, and declare
our fixed and unaltereble purpose, never to sub
nit to this unrighteouS legislation.
2. That we still have the fullest ccnfderce in
the fidelity Of the preachers of the Baltimore Con
ference, to our interest, and believe they pI
stand by us to the last extremity.
3. That as the Virginia portion Of the Baltl
more Conference has made sacrifices of peace and
Influence for the sake Of union with the Baltimore
and Mary land portion Of said Conference, thosC
portions should now stand by US in a united and
un1inching purpose to sever the ties Of ecclesias
teal connection with al, those who approve thu
action Of the last General Conference.
4. That VIC hereby call upon our brethren
preachers and Laymenl Of Maryland, the Distric
of Columbia, East Baltimore. Philadelphia, New
Jersey, Delaware, Western Virginia, and all othe
Conferences, to unite with us in a movement o
opposition to the unconstitutional and arbitrary
action of the last General Conference.

decide whether the Chicago Convention adopted a
resolution which is justly susceptible Of two con.

whelmed,' we think that any one makes a rather
adventurous statement when he says that in the
Republican party, and in it alone, lies the hope Of
American agriculture
But Mr.. Carey afirms that the Republicans, by
their recent votes on the tariff question in Con-
gress,' have authenticated their adhesion to the
protective policy. Whatever may be the truth of
history on this point, it is only just to state thai
the declaration is discrcdited by tho New York
Evening Post. which disposes Of this tariff argu.
mcnt' ia the following significant terms;
There we're o men in the House who mus
have had a suspicion that the bill was q fooisl
and absurd one but they saw that it might b.
used in the next elections with some effect in New

the Senate had a Democratic majority, they chos

ed, in the cant Of tho protectiohists, es hostile t

bill with this motive are in a more discreditabl
situation than those who voted for it in the ab
surd hope that it might pre- We a revenue measure
Yet it is worthy of note that only in Pennsylvauit
and New Jersey could such a bill be used will
any effect on party politics.
We may. therefore, dismiss the tariff resolution
with the simple observation that it is either yer,
obscure or very unfortunate in some of its inter
prefers,
