Theodore Parker, in one of his sermons,
uttered the following, touching women:
There are three class of women;
First, domestic drudges, who are wholly
taken up in the material details of their
house keeping and childkeepipg. Their
house keeping is 0 trade and no more; and
after they have done that there is no more
which they can do Ia New England it
is small class getting less every year.
Next, there are domestic dolls, wholly
taken up with the vain show that delights
the eye aud ear. These are ornaments OF
the estate. Similar toys, l suppose, will
one day be more chesply manufactured at
Paris, Nuremburg, at Frankfort on the
Maine, aud other toy shops in Europe,
out Of wax, papier-mache, and sold in
Boston al the haberdsshers by the dozen
These ask nothing beyond their functions
as dolls and hate all attemps to elevate
women kin l.
Bat there are domestic women. who
order house and are not mere drudges,
adorn 1t and are not mere dolls but women.
Some OF these-a great many of them, con,
join the Useful of the drudge and the beau
tlful OF the doll into wcmanhood, and
have great deal left besides They are
wholly taken with functions as house.

clear sunset presage fair weather, bul there
are other tints which speak with clearness

The. Silent Tongue.

The art Of sileuce, If it be not one oil
the fine, is certainly one Of the useful arts.
1t is an art attained by few. How seldom
do We meet with man who speaks only
when he ought 10 speak, and says only
what lie ought to say. That the Bible
enjoins its attainment is most manifest.
1t commands US to make q door and
bar for the mouth. 1t declares that If a
man brdleth not his tongue his religion is
vain. The attainment of this art will
enable US 10 avoid saying foolish things
We often speak without.re1ectiou, and, of
consequence, foolish thought are uttered
Possessed Of the art Of silence, we shall not
speak that which ought not to be spoken.
Again, it will enable US to avoid saying
hurtful things. Since we are placed 10 The
void to do good, aud since the endowment
OF speech is one of our greatest means Of
influence, it is most unseemly for as to
utter that which shall do injury. He
whose business it is TO root out the tares
should not scatter the seed. Ii will enable
us to govern our feelings aud direct our
train of thought. He who gives expression
TO his feelings increases their strength
lie who gives expression 10 anger for
example, increases its power over him
lie who gives utterance to improper
thoughts will Increase their number. 1t
will increase our Influence with our fellow
men. A fool uttereth all his mind, but a
wise man keepth it until afterward -
Gravity and reserve are associated With
wisdom. even an affected gravity is some.
times effective--the true art of silence ever.
We can be useful only as we are influential.

Singing as merrily the brown bees,

Crying, " love me because am wild"

Though he lingereth now, as he passes
And, not as once. are but Transient my tears,
As the dew-beads that hang on the grasses;
Alternate, light and shade checker the weft
Like the dyes offs Highlsnder's plaid,

Luscious, honey-faught blossoms, to see,
While, with glad heart, triumphant say
"Love me, Dennis, because love thee"
Heavier, heavier, Time will bear down,
On the share, that be ruthlessly hods
Parting the tresses, now ripping and brown,
From the forehead In thin dusky folds;
But, when my heaven no longer is blue,
And my earth, no more crimson and gold,
