LUCRATIVE PURSUITS FOR WOMEN

A new correspondent sends US an article
on The Employment oil Woman and Lu-
crative Pursuits" from which we extract
the following illustrative paragraph:

assumed the support Of the whole family.
Though his sisters are very anxious to work
that they may relieve him, and pleasantly
employ their time-he forbids their doing
so, and they remain poor and dispirited."
Our correspondent urges another illus
tration where brother. who was the stay Of
family Of sisters and an aged father, would
not consent thai his sisters should work, and
who soon died and left them helpless and
penniless. Twas certainly false pride in
these devoted brothers that led them to re-
fuse to allow their sisters TO w0rk--a pride
that unfortunately we see exhibited in in
Vulnerable families, rich and poor, who allow
the daughters to grow up idle aud efeminate !;
but we are not sure that instances Of such
false education and false pride establish the
necessity Of material change in what are
usually reeognizedas female pursuits. Our
correspondent is rather inexplicit as to the
class Of pursuits which she would have thrown
open TO women. IL she will elaborate her

The Kew Ballad Of Lord Lowell.

Lord Lowell he sat in the ST. Charles Hotel,
In St. Charles Hotel sat he,
As fine a case OF rebel swell
Asever you wish to see-see-see,
AS ever you wish to see.
Lord Lowell the town had vowed to def nd,
waving his sword on high,
lie swore that his last ounce ofpowder he'd spend
And in the last ditch h'd die
He swore by black, and he swore by 'luS,
lie swore by the Stars and Bars,
That never he'd fly from YANKEE crew
While he was of Mars.
He had fifty thousand gallant men,
Fifty thousand men had he,
Who had all sworn with him lhat ihe'd never
Surrender to aAy tdnation Yankee.
He had forts that no Yankee alive could take,
He mad s-clsd boats score,
And batteries all around the Lake,
And along the river shore.
.-ir Farragut came with mighty feet,
with mighty fleet came he,
Ana Lord Lowell .ns;anter began to retreat
Before the first boat he could see.
His fifty thousand gallant men
Dwindled down to thou sands six
They heard distant cannon, and then
Commenced cutt,ng their stick.
" ., larry, Lord Ioyell!'' SIR Farragut cried,
. 0, tarry, Lord Lowell - said he;
e. | rather THINK aot, - Lord Lowell replied,
= For Pm great hurry"
. / like the drinks at 81 Charles Hotel,
But never could bear strong Porter,
Especially when It's served IN the shell,
Or mixed in an iron mortar
. reckon you're righ,,' Sir Farragut sail,
. reckon you're right' said he
For if my Porter should fly to your head,
A terrible smash there'd be-
oh wonder 1t to them run,
A wonderful hing to see,
And the Yankees sailed up without shooting gun
And captured their great citie.
Lord Lowell kept running all day and night,
Lord Lowell a-running kept he,
For he sworc he couldn't abide the sight
OF the gun Of = live Yankee.
When Lord Loveli's life brought to clos.
Bya sharp shooting Yankee gunner,
From his head there sproutrd red, red nose,
From his feet-a Scarlet Runner.

A COOP ONE.-The Manchester Journal, after
noticing the proceedings OF the Council of Cen
sors, relates the following capital anecdote
The meeting of this body has brought up an
anecdote, which, though somewhat stale, will,
We think, bear repetition. Many years before
tho Governors Council had been superseded by
the Senate, a very rare and worthy Sootchman
from Caledonia County. was appointed chaplain
Of the Governor Council. The Council Of
Censors were at the same time in session at
Montpelier, fact which appears to have es-
capped the notice of the worthy dominic. at least
he made no sllusion to them in his daily prayers.
After few days it was suggested TO him by
some one that it might not be Inappropriate to
allude in his benedictions to the Council OF
Censors, hint which he was not slow to i'm
prove, nor. as it would appear, was he 10th to
make full amends for his past neglect In his
next henedction, after the usual supplca ton in
behalf of the Governors Council, he alluded to
the Council of Censors in this wise - And
oh Lord, we beseech Thee to especially remcm-
Der and especially to bless that hitherto unknown
body, the Council OF Censors which, as we are
recently informed. is now in session in thi:
place.

The Horrors ON the Battle Field.

A CORRESPONDENT writes under date of Jucc
7th as follows:
Our camp ground is pretty near the center
OF the battlefield of Fair Oaks, if that can be
called a field which is more than half pine
woods and swamps-thc latter, from heavy
rains, waist deep in mud and water, with plenty
OF dead rebels floating still unburied there. We
have been busy lnterrlng those we could get at,
and those that lay near our camp but the far
Their we penetrate through the underbrush and
vines, the more we find and hundreds Of them
will not he buried tins season We have found
many still standing, having settled down below
their WASTES in mud, and who must have been
hit In that position.
Amid all these horrors we have seen some
sights that brought smile to the faces of our
men A little to the front Of our camp we
found, lying close beside each other, Union
soldier and rebel, both dead But our man
must have died first, for the rebel had his hand
n his ghbor pocket, and he was shot through
the head before he had time to complete his
robbery or even to withdraw his hand
The writer also relates the case of dead
rebel who had been making remarkably free

Ire SEASON AND THE CRoPs.--After a long
drought we have recently had two or three light
rains, which have revived the pastures and now
ng lands, brought up much seed before laying
unyproated in the dry earth and, in short, put
ting new face on the earth. But these rains
have come, unfortunately, too late to repair all
the mischief of the drought. The corn came up
badly and, at the best, looks unpromising. That;
and the grain crop must necessarily be very
light this year while OF hay there cannot be
much more than half crop. However it may
