BE A WOMAN.

on I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on duty,
Urging him to be Man
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with Loves words quito as ready,
Points she cut the other duty
"Stuve, my dear, 20 be lady"
what's lsdyf Is Il something
Made Of hoops, aud silks, and airs,
Used TO decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs
Is il one who wastes on novels
Every feeling that Is hNmanf
If it's this to be LADY,,
'Tis not this. TO be Woman.
Mother, then unto her daughter,
Speak Of something higher far
Than to be mere Fashions lady
"Woman" is the brightest star.
If We, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a Man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
TO arise and be Woman.
Yes, a Women brightest model
0flhat high aud periet beauty,
Where the mind and soul and BODY
Blend to work our life's great duty.
Be Woman uought is higher
On the pilded list OF Fame;
On the catalogue Of Virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
BE womah--nn TO Duty,
Raise the world from sll that's low,
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant brow
Lend thy influence to each ellnrt
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not FASHIONS gilded lady,
Be a brave, whOle-soulec, rue Woman

New York says:
If he was a Pope-no, King-he thought
he should make better King than Pope
mo young man should be journeyman

nothing that anchors a man Ike ground. A
young man that has got a plot in the city
or an acre in the country, with good adj
wiser in it, gives mortgage to the State
that he will be thrifty, honest, sober, in-'
dustrious. Such a man the devil soon abans
