Duty Of American Mothers. !.

Our highest standards of fem ale culture
convey the same idea, and tend to the same
end. In an essay on the duties of Ameri-
can mothers our own Webster says -
"Mothers are affeciicnate and effective
teachers of the human race. The mother
begins the process OF training with the in
fanl in her arms. 1t is she who directs its
first mental and spiritual puIsatious. She
conducts il along the impressible yeats Of
childhood and YOUTH and hopes to deliver
it 10 the rough contest and tumultuous
scenes OF life armed by these good princi-
mental care and love. II we draw within
the circle of our own contemplation the
mothers of civilized nation, what do we
see 4? We behold so many arlifcers, work
ing not OF frai and perishable matter, but
on the immortal mind, moulding and fash
ioniug beings who are TO exist forever. We
applaud the arrest whose skill and genius
present the mimic man upon the canvass
we admire and celebrate the sculptor who
works out that same image in enduring
marble but how Insignificant are these
achievements, though the highest and fair
est in all the departments of art in compar-
ison with the great vocation of mothers
They work not upon the canvas that shall
fail, or the marble that shall crumble into
dust, but upon mind. uFon spirit, which is
to last forever, and which is to bare through
out its duration the impress of a mothers
plastic hand"

The Wiie's Nightcap.

MR.--who does not live more thar a
mile from the post office in New Orleans,
met some northern friends with southern
principles one evening, and in extending
TO them the hospiisli,ies OF the city, visited
so many ofthe princely saloons and marble
nails, imbibing spiritual consolation as they
journied, that when he left them al their
hotel at the midnight bour, he felt decided
Iy that he had brick in his hat. Now,
he has wife, an amiabIe, accomplished,
and beautiful lady, who loves him devoted
Iy andfinds but one fault with him. That
is. his too frequent visits 10 the palaces
where these bricks are obtained.
After leaving his friends, Mr.--Paus.
ed moment, took his bearings, and bav-
ing shaped course, on the principle that
continual angles meet, made sail for home.
In due course of time be arrived there, and
was not very much astonished, but rather
frightened, TO find his worthy lady sitting
up for him. She always does.
