of love and romance--that female patriotism
and courage have shone the most resplen-
| dent in tie recent warfare.
| During the Spanish war of Independence
in the Peninsula, at the sicges of Saragos5a.
| Corona, Valencia and Tortosa, the female
inhabitants of those cities enrolled them
selves into companies, headed and command
ed by ladies of rank for the purpose of at
tending the wounded and aiding and ami
mating their countrymen in their efforts
against the enemy. In the performance of
those duties, the delicate and fragile fair
ones of Saragossa were seen inccssantiy and
fearlessly exposing themselves to imminent
danger from the tremendous fire OF shot and
she'll. Some took q more active part, and
| fought side by side with their husbands,
! brothers and fathers. The name of one of
those heroines acquired imperishable re-
rown.
Augustine Saragossa, handsome young
woman of humble birth, coming on the
! third day Of the siege with provisions to
the battery that had suffered most terribly
! from the enemys fire, found every man be-
| longing TO it killed. For a moment every
/ one hesitated to rescue the guns. Angus
tine, undaunted, sprung over the dead and
! dying, and snatching match from the hand
! of dead artilleryman, fred off twenty
FOUNDER; and then jumping upon the gun,
made solemn VOW never quit it alive du-
ring the siege. Her courage struck shame
! INTO the hearts of the men who had shrunk
| from taking the place of the slain her gen
crous enthusiasm animated with fresh
courage all who behed it. The battery
was instantly manned, and the fire being
renewed with increased vigor, the French
were repused at all points with great
| loss.
| Neither was this an isolated deed of he
roism Of that brave girl, who is canonizcd
in the annals of history by the appellation
of The maid of Saragossa.' Visiting bat
terry in which her husband held the com.
mand, and observing the artillerymen so
discouraged by his fall that the battery was
on the point Of falling into the hands of the
enemy, she addressed the troops in anima-
ted tones, and by her inspiring eloquence SO
| rallied them that they not only repulsed the
enemy, but in successful sortic beat them
I from the walls. In the course of the gori-
Gus struggle by her country for national
/ honor and independence, she was rewarded
as a testimony of her country's appreciation
of her patriotic devotion, with field officers
commission.
The countess Burita at Saragossa, and
Dons Lucia Johanna de Fitzeraldt, Dona
Maria Mariengela Nivern, and Dona Maria
Cent?, of the divisions of st. Narcis, st. Do
thy, and st. Ulalia at Corona have occurred
an enduring celebrity in the execution of
their commands, and the display Of their
heroic patriotism in their efforts to fiustrate
the designs Of the foe Of their country, to
spoil it Of its honor and nationality. Also
during that glorious struggle for indcpen-
dence women were frequently seen in the
ranks Of the guerrilla bands, lighting among
the foremost.

y REMEDY ron SMALL Pox-TAe German
Ryormed .Ness.agcr. published at Chambers
burg, has received "a private letter from a
friend in CHINA, in which it is stated Il great
discovery is reported to have been recently
made hy Surgeon OF the English army in
China, in the Of an cifcctual cure for the ter.
riblc and loathsomc disease Of small pox.-
The mode of treatment is as follows. When
the preceding fever is at It's height and Just
before the eruption appears, the chest is
rubbed with croton oil and tartaric ointment
This causes the whole of the eruption to ap-
pear on that part Of the body, to the relief
Of all the rest. It also secures full and
complete eruption, and thus prevents tho
disease from attacking the internal organs.
This is said 10 be now the established mode
of treatment in the English Army in China
by general orders and is REGARDED as perfect
success. AS this disease now prevails in
different parts Of our country, it would be
wei. for our physicians to put this remedy
to practical test. and If found as successful
here, as it is said to be in the English Army
in China, it will certainly prove a great
blessing to the community in general.

Influence ofSensib7e Woman,

It is wondrous advantage to man in
every pursuit or avocation to secure an adj
yser in q sensible woman. In women there
is at once a subtle delicacy of TACT and q
plain soundness of Judgment which are
rarely combined to an equal degree i'll man.
A woman ii she really be yOur friend, will
have sensitive regard for your character,
honor, and reputation. She will seldom
counsel You to do shabby thing, for wo-
man friend always desires to be proud of
you. At the same time her constitutional
timidity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She. therefore, seldom coun-
sells you to do an imprudent thing. BY fe-
male friendships, mean pur friendship
those in which there is no admiXturc of the
passion of love, except in the married state.
\ mans best friend is a wife of good heart,
whom he loves and who loves him-if he
have that he need not seek elsewhere. But
supposing the man to be without such G
helpmate, female friendship he must still
have or his intellect will have many an un-
needed gap even in the strongest fence
Better and safer, of course, such friendships
where disparities of years or circumstances
put the idea of love out of the question:
Middle life has rarely this advantage; youth
and old age have. We may have female
friendships with those much older than our
selves. Molecre's old house-kecper was a
great help to his genius and Montaignc 5
philosophy takes both a gentler and lolter
character Of wisdom from the date in which
he finds, in Marie de Courtney, an adopted
daughter certainly beloved by me-" says
the Horace Of essayists, with more than
patenal love, and involved in my solitude
and retirement, as one of the best parts of
being" Female friendship, indeed, is to a
man 'grOesidium et DEUS decuS"-buwark,
swetener, ornament of his existence. To his
mental culture it is invaluable; without It
all his knowledge of books will never give
him knowledge OF the world.-Brlur.-

NAIN-WATER CIsTERNs.-As the season

cisterns Gbore gr0uRd. 1t can he Gone in
this way: Make heavy trestle work 10 sup

say sufficient to contain two thousand gal

lead in the best manncr-the top or roof
covered with tin, leaving an opening or
hatchway in top to admit man to change
it once a year. The outside Of the trestle

and painted. The cistcrn can &c made in
any shape desired II well constructed it

which has not thus far cost us dollar for

of the house can be supplied with water by

CHOICE POETRY.
The OLD Nraa and the ChiIdren.

Spring was busy in the woodlands,
Climbing up from pcnk to peak,
AS an old man sat and broodcd,
With a flush upon his cheek.
Many years pressed hard upon him,
And his living friends were few,
And from out the sombrc future,
Troubles drifted into view.
There is something moves one strangely
In old ruins grey with years;
Yet there's something far more touching
In an old face wet with tears.
And he sat there, sadly signing
O'er his feeblencss and wrongs,
Though the birds outside his window
Talked Of summer in their songs.
But. behold. n change comes o'or him
Where are all his sorrows now!
Could they leave his heart rs. quickly
AS the gloom clouds left bis ifow'!
Up to the green slope of his garden,
the dial, he saw run
Three young girls, with bright eyes shining,
Like their brown heads, in the sun!
There was Fanny, famed for wisdom
And fair Alice famed for pride;
And one that could say, "Unclc,"
And said little else beside.
And that vision startled memories,
That soon hid all scenes OF Strliei
Sending floods of hallowed sunshine
Through the ragged rents Of life.
Then they took him from his study,
Through long lanes nnd tangled bowers,
Out into the shaded valleys,
Richly tinted o'cr with flowers.
And he blessed their merry voices,
Singing round him rs he went,
For the sight Of their wild Siadncss
Filled his own heart with content.
Ard that night, there came about him
Fnr-off meadows pictured fair,
And old wopds in which he wandered,
Ere he knew the name of care:
And he said These angel faces
Take The whitcncss from ones hair! w
