IT'omcn Ia Russia.

From paper In the last number of the
Edlnburg Review on the "Modern Russi-
M Drama'-cvidently written by one who
has personal knowledge Of the social life
of the Russlans-wo take tho following
account of tho condition of women In the
middle aud lower classes:
"One of the principal evils arising from
the Orlcntalism Of Russia Is the Inferior
and unworthy position occupied by the
women. No such chivalric feelings ever
prevailed there rs those from which
sprang the reverence paid to their sisters
In Western Europe. For many genera
tions they were treated much as Turkish
women arc treated now, cOOped up In
their own apartments, and allowed to
take but very small part In the Occupa-
tl0ns and amiisements OF their husbands.
All this has long been changed, 1t Is true,
but traces of the old degradation still sur.
vive. Except among the upper classes.
to whom these remarks do not In any way
apply, It Is difficult to find Russian wO-
man who has been educated In the proper
sense of the word, whose intelligence has
been developed, whose moral nature has
been trained Alright, whose eyes have
been opened to the existence of higher
world than that In which she daily moves.
AS q general rule, she Is childlshly igno-
rant, hut II she happens to have been
taught some of the wisdom which manu-
ais aud catecllsms can impart, 1t usually
turns ont that she has learned little except
by rotc. Her education does not teach
her 10 reflect, or to govern herselfi 1t
does not brace the fibrcs OF her mental or
spiritual nature; II does not enable her to
rise above the dead level Of trivial
thoughts and petty interests.
"AmOng the women Of the lower order
this inferiOrlty to those of other nations
may at first escape notice, for In no cOun-
try can any great nobility OF character be
looked for among those of Its inhabitants
who are bowed down by want, and who
have had their senses dulled by the con-
staut pressure of care. But among the
middle classes 1t cannot fail to make Itself
evident, especially In those families which
are placed In easy circumstances, even II
they are not rolling In wealth. There Is
no excuse to be found, unless the tradl-
tiOns of Olden days can supply It, for the
ignorance In which the daughters Of such
families are allowed to grow up, the Idle
ness In which they consume their days at
ter they are married. Those whose tastes
nrc gross, aud who have no aspirations af-
ter better state of things. take kindly to
this ignOblc existence and thrive upon 1t.
But Others who have q more artistic ma
ture, or are Of q more temperament, arc
conscious during the sprlngtide of their
lives ofa want which they know not how
to express. q craving which they strive to
satisfy without moving whence 1t springs
or whittier It leads. 10 such women life
becomes incxprcssibly tedlous-thclr days
arc burden to them.n

says so, tool" He could scarcely prove q
well-sprlng of pleasure In that house.
Vlndlctlveness finds n resting place even
In hearts which should be gentlest.

find fitting elimination for her dlspleas-
ure. There was slight touch of Calv-
nlsln about the concluding threat, I think.
All children, l am sorry to say, arc not
good, aud know very few that are pat
terms of perfection. One sometimes finds
biographies of such In Sunday. school II
brarles, but not having encountered them
living. and meeting them only In blogra-
phical "reminiscences. incline to think
that they all die early.
"Golly!- GOsh!-Graclous!" shouted
little boy one day, something having oc-
CURED to rouse his enthusiasm.
"Why, where did you get such word
as thatT asked his mother.
"Oh. I've heard you say gracious, and
the golly gosh just made up myself"
One little fellow whom I wot of, must
have been born full Of original sin. for he
used the strangest adjectives and exple-
ives as soon as he could lisp. At the
time Of which write he was only three
years old. His mother labored with him
and on him, occasionally-but with no
lastlng benefit, though she brought about
spasms Of repentance and promises Of re-
formation. One day she told him she
could bear him no longer; she couldn't
have little boy about her that used such
language; she would put him away and
get another little boy. In the bitterness
and desOlation of his heart, feeling him
self discarded. another Ishmael, he went
out into the yard and sat down on the
grass to cry 1t out. A little bantam roos-
ter, not appreciating the sadness OF the
surroundings. flew upon the fence and be-
gan long, loud crow.
"Shut up, darn you," blubbered Bobby,
through his tears;"I have trouble enough
OH my mind without YOU" He had Just
resolved and promised to never use that
and cOgnate words again.
But finally 1t seemed that reformation
was indeed affected. FOrtwo whole days
he had said nothing to offend the most
fastidlOus, and great was the rejoicing
thereat, The compression. however,
proved too great. the load Of forbidden
xpletlves-brlckbats Of the vocabulary
lay heavily on his brain and must be
worked of. So one day he burst into the
house In real or simulated state of ex-
citcmcnt. "Oh mothcr!" he shouted,

TIE BOWS NINE TINES TO JENNY LIND.

Jenny Lind gave q concert at Washing.
ton during the session Of Congress; and,
as mark Of her respect and with view
to the selai. sent polite invitations to the
President. Mr.. Fillmore, and the members
of the Cabinet, Mr.. Clay, and many other
distinguished members Of both houses oi
Congress. 1t happened that OIL that day
several members OF the Cabinet and Sen
ate were dining with Mr.. Bodlsco, the Rus.
sian Minister. His good dinner and choice
wines had kept the party so late that the
concert was nearly over when Webster,
Clay, Crittenden and others came In.
Whether from tho hurry In which they
came or from the heat of the room. their
faces were little flushed, and all looked
somewhat furried.
Aftcr the applause with which these
gentlemen were received had snbsided
and silence was once more restored, the
second part of the concert was opened BY
Jenny Lind with "IIail Columbia"
This took place during the height Of tn,
debate and excitement on the slavery
question. and the compromise resolutions
of Mr.. Clay; and this patriotic air. rs I
part of the programme, was considered
peculiarly appropriate at concert wher,
the head of the Government and larg,
number Of both branches Of the lcgisla
tive department were present. At tn,
close of the first verse Webster's patriot

Keeping Corr.

We find the following article uncredlted
In an exchange.
A great deal Of corn Il wofally wasted
amer all the trouble and expense Of plough
Ing. planting and harvesting. This waste
IL absolutely wicked and with trifilng eN-
ira care may be easily rcmedied. In the
first place, In husking, a vigilant look out
ought To be kept that no unripc, unsound
ear or half made 'nubbin" goes In with
the nile that Il to 90 into the crib. The
piy pen Is the better place for all suci,
material. One unsound ear may, and
Often does, damage u bushel OF sound
corn.
Next. wherever you are going to pul
corn to keep, put coal or gas tar about
the premises pretty literally ut first. II
Is an utter abomination to rats and mice
They will not board In corn crib flavor
ell pretty strongly with gas tar. Half
dollars worth will very likely save ter
dollars worth Of corn. Very many peo
pie seem to suppose that corn may bt
kept In any sort OF a crib, as open as Jach
Straw's house-neither wind nor water
tiyht-so that IL l. housed undar tolcra
BILE roof. SO it can-but never long In q
marketable condition. While corn cribs
ought always to afford free ventilation,
they should be constructed rs to shut ol,l
all storms, either rain or snow. Better
grow less corn and keep II sound than
price crops and sell Il spoiled.

REroRr OF COMMITTEE ON BUTTER.

Your committee would say In announc-
Ing their award Of the premiums offered
by the society for dairy products, &C.,
that the entries Of butter this fall were
very numerous and for the most part OF
very excellent quality, making Il a very
difficult matter for them to make q selec-
ton Of the best and more especially OF the
second best qualities; and we can only say
that In making our award of the several
premiums, that whether our judgment has
been wise or otherwise, Il has certainly
been Impartial, and In accordance with our
own taste.
For the best product Of butter for four
months from the 10th Of May to tho 10th
OF Sept, for sample OF not less than 10
lbs exhibited, according to rule Of society
we award the first premium OF ol2, to Mrs.
