Woman.

The author of the following beautiful
tribute to the female character, (and it is
as truthful as beautifully deserves all
praise. Such articles are calculated not
only to exalt humanity, but to imbue the
mind with due appreciation of thee
alted attributes of woman. Read the ar
ticle carefully, and become more tender
and thoughtful of the wants of the weak
er sex":
Great, indeed, is the task assigned to
woman! Who can elevate it's dignity |?
Not to make laws; not to lead armies ;
not to govern empires; but to form those
by whom laws are made, armies led, and
empires governed; to guard against the
slightest bodily infrmity, the frail yet
spotless creature whose. moral, no less
than physical being, must be derived from
her; to inspire those principles, to incul-
cate those virtues, to animate those SEN
timents which generations yet unciviliz-
ed will learn to bless; to soften frmness
into mercy, and chasten honour into re-
fnement; to exact generosity into vir-
tue; by a soothing care to allay the an
guish of the body,sand the far worse an
guish of the mind; by her tenderness to
disarm passion; by her purity to triumph
over sense; to cheer the scholar under
his toll; to console the statesman for the
ingratitude of a mistaken people; to be
compensation for friends who are per6di-
ous-for happiness that has passed away.
Such is her vocation.
The couch of the tortured ed--sufferer, the
prison of the deserted friend, the cross OF
the rejected Saviour, these are theaters
on which her greatest triumphs have been
achieved. Such is her destiny: to visit
the forsaken, to tend the neglected when
monarchs abandon, when counsellors be-
tray, justice prosccutcs, when brethren
and disciples flee, to remain mistaken
and unchanged, and to exibit in this low
er world type of that love, Epure, con-
stant and ineffable, which in another we
are taught to believe the test of virtue.

strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy of the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that 'the Plantation

Union of these States is no longer policy founded

THE LovLIEsT Spor.-Man loves the
green, sunny spot OF earth. A tradition
seems to lurll in the memory even of the
dweller amidst bricks and mortar which
inclines his soul with an underlined long
ing toward Nature arrayed in her una
dorned simplicity. There is charm
about the idea of the greenwood shade
and couch of velvet grass, which fas-
cinates the man in his childhood, and
grows with HIM, as years increase, into
absolute fondness; as if the capacity for
the original nomade existence he enjoy
ed was destined by the nnalterable laws
of his constitution, never to be eradica-
ted. Hence, the flowers we sec tended
with so much care in the squalid districts
of our large cities, and the arid patches,
with plants. pining in the shade, cultiva-
ted with an assiduity which apologies
for many grave error. But of all the
places which Providence, by the instru-
mentality of an advanced degree of civil
ization, has created for the comfort of
man, it is home.

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE IN AMERICA

The FIRST LOCOMOTIVE IN AMERICA
According to the American Railroad
Guide, the first locomotives in the Uni
ted States were imported from England
in the fall of 1929 or the spring of 1880.
The first Stephenson locomotive ever i'm
ported was the Robert Fulton" in 1881
for the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad.
The first locomotive built in this country
was constructed at the West Point Foun-
dry, in 1880, for the South Carolina Rail
road. The second was built for the same
place. The third was built by the same
establishment, in the spring of 1871, and
was the first locomotive ever run in the
State of New York. David Mathews,
who first run this engine, is still living in
Philadelphia, and is one of our Oldest in
ventors and locomotive engineers.

Eoigting the Confederacy Flag.

H01SJlnS tAG VVnACsSA "Sy 1sSS'
On the 4th day of March, 1861, the
flag of the Confederated States of Ameri-
ca was hoisted on the flagstaff over the
Provisional Capitol, at Montgomery. A
large concourse of people was assembled,
and it was received with shouts and
cheers. Miss L. G. T. Tyler, one of the
Old Dominion, and a granddaughter OF
the venerable ex-President of the United
States, was selected to elevate the flag to
the summit of the flagstaff, on the Capt.
tol. The Montgomery Advertiser relates
the following incident in connection with
this matter:
When the time arrived for raising the
banner, Miss Tyler steadily, and with
heart throbbing with patriotic emotion,
elevated the flag to the summit Of the
staff, cannon thundered forth salute, the
vast assemblage rent the air with shouts
of welcome, and the people of the South
had for the first time view of the South
ern flag. Ere there was time to take
one hasty glance at the national ensign,
the eyes of all were upturned to gaze at
what would perhaps at any time have at
tracted unusual attention, but on this oc-
casion really seemed a Providential omen
Scarcely had the first report from the sa-
lutte died away, when large and beauti-
fully defined circle of blue vapor rose slow
ly over the assemblage of Southern spir-
its there assembled to vow allegiance to
the Southern banner, rested for many
seconds on level with the flag OF the
Confederate States, then gradually as
cended until lost to the gaze of the as
sembled multitude. 1t was most beau
tiful and ouspicious omen, and those who
look with an eye Of faith to the glorious
future of our Confederacy, could not but
believe that the same God that vouchated
to the Christian Emperor the cross in the
heavens as u promise of victory, had this
day given to young nation, striving for
liberty, divine augury of hope and du-
rability.

A father came home from his business
at early evening, and took his little girl
upon his knee. After few dovelike ca
resses, she crept to his bosom, and fell
asleep. He carried her himself to her
chamber, and said, "Nelie would not
like to go to bed and not say her prayers. !"
Half opening her large blue eyes, she
dreamily articulated:
'"Now 1 lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord
then adding, in sweet murmur "He
knows the rest," she sank on her pillow,
in His watchful care who "giveth His be-
loved sleep"

The Flight Of Tine
The more welive, more brieilappear
Our succeeding stagss-
A day to childhood seems ,1ear,
And years like passipsagss.
The gladstone current of ou. youth,
Ere passion yet disorders.
Steals lingering like rive: smooth,
Along its grassy borders.
But as the care-worn cheeks grow worn,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your quicker?
Why joys have lost their bloom add breath,
And life, itself, is vapid
Why, as we reach the falls of death,
Feel we its tide more rapid?
It may be strange-yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding;
When one by one onr friends havd gone,
And left our bosom bleeding?
Heaven gives our years ol fading strength,
Indemnifying heetness;
And those of youth, o seeming length,
Proportioned to their sweetness.

1t won't do to twist mans nose, or
tell him he lies, unless you are perfectly

you have no brains) cracking your skull.
1t won't do, when riding in stage
coach, to talk of another man, whom you
have not seen, as being an "all-hred
scoundrel," until you are absolutely sure
he is not sitting before you.
1t won't do to crack jokes on old maids
in the presence of unmarried ladies, who
have passed the age of forty.
1t won't do for q man to bump his
head against stone post, unless he con-
scicntiously believes his head is the hard
est.
1t won't do for chap to imagine a
Girl is Indifferent to him because she stu
diously avoids him in company.
1t won't do for a fcller to imagine that
every young lady who smiles upon him is

1t won't do, when in hurry, to eat
soup with two-pronged fork, or to catch
flies with q fish net.

him civilly and politely on all occasion.

move, and live-pass off the stage of life,
and are heard of no more. Why? They
do not particle Of good in the world,
and none were blessed by them, none
could point to them as the instrument OF
their redemption; not word they spoke
could be recalled, and so they perish ;
their light went out in darkness, and
they were not remembered more than the
