xuxx EMpLoYmENT FOR WOMEN.

"Miss Emily Faithful, of London, has estab-
lished O press in that city for the employment OF
female compositors. The Queen has signifed
her approval of the plan, adding that all such
useful and practical steps for opening new
branches of industry to educated women, must
meet with her entire approval"
"Oue of the most sensible merchants in Au-
pusta in a conversation with the writer, once
said 81 would so like to have lady clerks, if
society would tolerate it, &C." Need
I say that I fully agree with him? And why
should they not become merchants, watch-ma-
kers, book-binders, and printers ?"
The former of these paragraphs we find float.
ing about in the newspapers the latter is taken
from an article in the Southern Field and Fire
side, by Annie R. Blount, on the "Occupations Of
Women" They are both suggestive Of a senti-
ment which is worming its way to the heart of
our society; and which must be productive OF
much mischief, or Of much good, to succeeding
generations. 1t can affect the present but lit
tle-for time is required to produce radical chan
ges in the habitudes of thinking, feeling and act
ing among men,-but we are under obligation to
speak of it in the light of a positive good or evil
to posterity. Labor-saving machinery-such as
the sewing machine-is saving time for the nany,
but throwing the jew out of employment. If the
consequence be that women who have heretofore
made O livelihood by the needle must "sin or
starve," or seek some new avocation, we say,
by all means do the latter. There is no essential
reason why woman should not enter any of the
above named businesses, when her necessities,
or even her highest worldly welfare requires it.
But the great danger is in bringing her in con-
tact with the everyday influences Of a rude and
world; and in diverting her attention
from, and Earring her fitness for the highest
and hottest OF all earthly missions-to plant and
prune, to cultivate, water and train, the nursery
of the next generation. No one wishes to see
her degraded by the pursuits of wealth and sor-
did ambition. Be a~varice, cunning, duplicity
and smooth. faced deception-too often engender-
ed by worldly pursuits-far from her heart
Let her armour be 'plain and holy innocence"
Nothing but stern necessity should drive her be-
yond the circle of home-the household-for
employment. Then, however, no absurd squeam-
ishness of society should interfere with her in
uer sense of duty.

THE oxYsENATED B1TTERs.

The, qualities Of this medicine have placed it
upon an imperishable foundation. In destroying
disease, and inducing health, it has no parallel.
For the following complaints these Bitters are
a Specific, viz :-Dyspepsia, or indigsstion, Heart
Burn, Aeidity, Costiueness, Loss Of appetite,
Headache, and General Debility.
In many sections of our country this prepare
ton is extensively used by physicians in their
practice. and it seems to have restored many to
health who were apparently beyond the reach Of
the healing art.
YORK, Livingston Co., N. Y, Oct. l, 1859.

SIRs :-Dyspepsia, with its ntmberless asso.
ciates, took up its abode with me, in opposition
to the skill of many of the most celebrated ply
s~icians, until the spirit was willing (f no relief
could be fouud) to surrender and bid adieu to is
earthly tabernacle, when I was induced, by the
urgency of a friend, to try THE ORIGINATED
BITTERS, little dreaming that the Gilead was
in the boundless sea Of patent medicines, as it
was the first draught / was ever induced to quaf.
But thanks be to God, it was a balm. and q most
efficient and grateful one, too. The most ag-
gravating symptoms in my case were immyde-
rate and irregular beating of the heart immadi-
ately after taking food, attended with great
prostration, and very frequently violent attacks:
of palpitation, lasting from twelve to twenty
four hours, leaving the stomach so perfectly
powerless that even q spoonful Of milk or rice
water would seem burdensome. I. commenced
by taking half a teaspoonful-tbe extent was a
full one. I was very persevering until had
taken three bottles since then, at intervals, I
have taken two more.
l began to realize its genial effects immediate
ly; besides, it is extremely grateful and refresh
ing as. a beverage, which is a charm that but
few medicines can boast Of. would, sirs. most
heartily and earnestly beg all who are afflicted
with Dyspepsia in any form to test your Oxygen
ated Bi:ters, as I do esteem them invaluable

Death of Allan Harris.-Col. D. ]. Rice re.
turned on Wednesday last from his visit to the
Choctaw Nation, bringing with him the intel.
lipence of Allan Harris death. 1t was rumored
here some time since that Allan was dead, but
seemingly conflicting statements, and errors in
the dates of letters, induced the belief that it
was all a hoax. Allan, before leaving for the
Choctaw Nation, prepared a memorandum of his
debts and directed them. to be paid out of his
present crop, and, we believe, made a formal
will. Allan, being the oldest of the CataWba
tribe, was considered and revered by them as
Counsellor. He had, by industry and economy,
accumulated the means of a comfortable and
independent livelihood. Although an Indian,
the recollection of his ancestral race and his own
good behaviour, commanded public respect. He
died on the 26th of July, far from home. Alas!

THE ATMOSPHERE OF HOME.

Every home has an atmosphere of its own
pure, healthful, bracing or sultry, malarious
and deathly-an atmosphere which its inmates
must breathe; constituting their hfe-element,
and modifying that life, as to health and happi.
ness. indefinitely, No one can escape the influ'
ence of home entirely. 1t enters into the very
growth and texture of our being, like the food
which we eat from a fathers table. In n we'll
ordered home, the chances are many, that a boy
of vicious disposition by nature, may be trained
up to be a respectable and useful, if not a model
man. But q badly-governed household is often
fatal, even to the best of dispositions. If the
domestic air which the child inhales be poisoned
with pickering and sel6shness if his temper be
unbridled if his moral propensities remain, un-
educated-what can he be prepared for except
crime and misery? Under the lax discipline,
marking the times, Young America is fully
grown at fifteen years of age-throwing off the
parental authority, and asserting his right divine
to govern himself, and do as he may please
Much of our trouble as a nation can be traced
to this as the cause. For the child who habit
ually disrespects the wisdom and authority of
his parents, is preparing to set up a "hlgher
law to himself, when ripened by years, and play
the traitor to his country. To what is this in
subordination owing, if not to parental indul-
ceuce? Train up the child wisely to obey-not
as q slave through fear, but cheerfully through
,ove-apd there are a thousand likelihoods that
he will make O consistent and devoted patriot.
Such is the influence of home.
Here. be it remembered that the conduct Of
the individual members of the household goes
to make up this united home influence. Each
one is a stone set in the domestic temple. OF
course, the parents-bone of one bone-are the
corner stone; the basis Of the superstructure.
They are also the workmen who are to polish
their children ''after the similitude of a palace -
or leave them rough and unhewn, entering into
the temple in misshapen heaps, causing it to
tremble and totter aud crumble quickly in the
dust.
Small faults may bring great %unhappiness to
the home circle. A home where there is no love,
is a world where it is Arrays night-or death.
But a little sel6shness, mistrust, favoritism, in
diligence, envy, strife-a very, very lttle-wil
keep naturally loving families in q constant fer
ment. The truth is, love unannealed Of selfish
ness is q vulgar despot! He wants all; or
failing in this, for spite he will have nothing
Charity must make him strong and self-sacrih
cial or nothing but the constant stufing of hi
vanity can assuage his fretfulness. For tbi'
reason the words of the poet are often too sadly
true -

head Quarters of the Liberal Mexican govern
ment, in consequence Of the refusal Of Juarez to
make restitution of the brig Conception. Juarez
was making active preparations to Withstand the
expected attack and the people of the city were
looking forward to it with great enthusiasm
This enthusiasm was occasioned by the belief
that, in such an event, the Uni ted States would
assist the Juarez government. Indeed Juarez
has already dispatched q courier with letters to
our government, asking public assistance, or at
least the privilege of raising volunteers and pro-
curing arms and munitions of war within our ter
ritory. Our government has yet made no reply
to this request. If the war breaks out, Juarez
will likely make descent upon Cuba, in which
case the formal consent of our government! to his
wishes will be perhaps little worth-fllibusters
will probably supply him with as many "volun-
teers, arms and munitions of war" as he can
use to advantage.
