For the Republican,
EDUCATION OF OUR WOMEN.

The moral condition of people depends
in a higher degree upon the state of cultiva-
ton among females than is commonly
imagined. This principle has been far too
much lost sight Of in the education of
women, and they have been trained, as it
were, for one exclusive purpose-to be got
rid of in marriage, and not as partners with
man in a common lot. When the attrac-
ton of pretty young face, and the novelty
Ofyouthful manners have worn of, there is
little left of sympathy with the pursuits of
the husband, or acquaintance with those
departments OF knowledge ON which his
habits and occupations naturally lead him
to converse. KS
The dry utterance of scientific terms.
without knowledge of the uses and apph-
cations of the science, or the details of his
tory without the knowledge of its spirit. is
to all valueless, and the deficiency is to be
supplied by extensive and various reading.
But this is precisely the point where the
education of woman fails; they are seldom
taught to read, to analyze and digest the
matter read, whether it be novel, history or
biography. If, instead of abandoning all,
or nearly all, mental occupation at the
period of leaving school, a course of study
calculated to develop and keep in exercise
the reflective faculties were commenced
and perseveringly continued for the next
four or five years, the wife
would have some share of the
attractions of the intelligent conversation
alist, and without trcspassing on the field of
the dry, dull, political or scientific dis
course of the professional person, might
supply in actual life some portion of the
imaginative and amusing, by which its real
cares are driven away. The Importance Of
female education should be greater, when
we take into consideration the great share
and influence mother has i'll forming the
infant mind. A child associates more con-
stantly with its mother therefore acquire
by sort of involuntary imitation her Ian
ruage, habits, manners and failings. As
3 mother, we behold woman in her hottest
character: as the nurse of innocence. as a
cherisher of the first principles of mind, as
the guardian of an immortal being. who
will write upon the records of eternity how
faithfully she has fulfilled her trust. She
must teach and instruct it, for it's pure inno
cent ewes are fixed upon her to learn their
meaning, and its infant accents are inquiring
out the first principles of good and evil, and
many men are indebted solely to their
mothers for their superior education and
the development of their brilliant talents.
There is no doubt that
.If the mind with clear conceptions glow,
The willing words in just expressions now"
and warmth of feeling in woman has amply
COMPENSATED for any inferiority, il such
there were, in their talents and education
TO those of the opposite sex. We ought to
set much weight on these superior instances
Of mental capacity, and eiIdeavor not to de-
generate in point OF intellect and education.

The New York Sun saws:

Some of the German residents in this
country are said to be dissatisfied with
Baron Gerolt, minister at Washington of
the North German Confederation. Thev
think the Baron is too old for SO important
an office at the present time. 1t is true this
distinguished diplomatist is no longer a
young man; but it would be difficult to find
ayOung man possessed of greater energy
or who would be able to make himself more
acceptable to the government and people of
this country. Among all the members of
the diplomatic corps at Washington, there
is none whose influence is exerted with so
little ostentation and with SO great effect as
that of Baron Gerolt.

Zen as a child the very same

That no more can be thy happy boy.
The artless boy, to whom thy smile

And bid me close again my weary eye
To think Of thee and those sweet days gone by.
That pleasant home Of fruits and flowers,
Where, by the HudsOns verdant side,

And he We loved at eve'ntide

Alas, the change! the rafting car

THE ONE SWEET THING THAT Is
LOST TO ME.
BY HOWARD GLYNDON

BY HOWARD GLTNDOS.
The dew is off the fulI-blown rose,
And the wind will fiOut 1t before he goes;
And the down is brushed from the yellow
peach;
And the purpIest grapes are out of reach !
And 1 am as sad as sad can be
For the one sweet thing that is lost to me.
Dear, my friend it is none of these;
For after the wind will come the bees;
And the peach that ripens toward the south
Is just as sweet for an eager mouth =
But am as sad as sad can be,
For q sWeeter thing IS no more tOc me.
Why will you make me say it twice?
Leave my life to its own device
Ah! you say that my hand is cold;
l say that my heart is numb and old:
1 say am sad as sad can be,
That love, sweet love, is no more for me.
But II would love you, if I could:
1 would nestle to you in tender mood,
am so weary of being alone,
needs must make this piteOus moan;
My soul is furnished so utterly
For the one sweet thing that is not for me.
You should have come in the Long Ago
Before my heart went under the snow:
You should have come while the violet
Ere the sweet bIush-roses were all entombed,
Before was sad as could be,
While love, sweet love, was the world to me.
Now, for the good I should receive
1 have so little left to give,
1 am ashamed that your love should lie
Low at the feet of such as l =
Let me be sad as sad can be
That this sweet thing is not for me.
Kiss me but once, upon the brow
Promise to be my friend from now:
Pity me that 1 cannot love
Pity me all the world above
Leave me as sad as sad can be
For the one sweet thing that is lost TO me.

MS Soothing Syrup.

, We find the following in the CdtJOr-
peia Medical Gazette, from a eorrespon-
dent:
q Some weeksisinc / was called to an
infant of six mouths old, who was in
dying conditi6 .Eently from the
effects OF IA II - poison. It had
taken no tmedit4s.~. except this syrup,
of which, it had taken, within ten
hours, two doses of about one teaspoons
full each. had the syrup from which
these doses, We're given, analyZed by o
skillfE& chemist. There were ten
drachI4s of soothing syrup in the vial,
and it yielded of mOrphia and other
opiumgalkaloids, 14-I00 grains, very
,neaEsF one grain to the ounce of syrup.
s2.gIhis result astOnished me. The
printed directions for. administering the
medicine are as follows: for a child un-
der sone month old, six to ten drops;
three months old, half teaspOOnful
three to four times day until free from
pain. In dysentery repeat the above
dose every two hours, until the charac-
ter of the discharge is changed for the
phine equal to ten drops of Iaudanum,
two hours, and double the quantity to
a child of six months old.
"I have always discOuntenanced the
use of this preparation, as 1 did not
know its composition, and supposed it
was some anodyne; but I had no idea
of its deadly strength. 1t is familiar
fact that children are very susceptible
to the influence of opium, and four
drops of Il ISo3apIIm have been known
to kill an of nine months.

Religious Oxen.

a gentleman travelling in Texas met
on the road wagon drawn by four
oxen, driven by a countryman, who,
in addition to the skilItul flourish and
crack of his whip, was vOciferously en-
couraging his horned horses after this
fashion: ''Haw Presbyterian ~ "Gee, ,
'Baptistu ~ Whoa, Episcopalian !
{ Get up, NIethodist!' ~ The traveller
stopped the driver, remarking that he
had strange NAMES for his oxen, and
that he would like to know why he
thus called them. Said the driver, "
call this OK Presbyterian, because he is
true blue ;butif the yoke gets little too
tight he kicks and tries to draw clear
of the traces. / call this Baptist, be-
cause he is always after water, and
seems as though he'd never drink
enough; then again he won't eat with
the others. l call this OK EpiscOpalian

holding up his head and appearing dig

Manufacturing in Memphis.
From Lanier's Real Estate Bulletin.

From Lanier's Real Estate Bulletin.l
Much has been written and said il
regard to manufacturing in the South
and particularly in our city of Mem
phis. Whilst we all admit the advan,
tages of manufacturing in our midst
yet there are obstacles in the way
which are caused by ourselves and
which we can remove. Our failure tC
buy articles manufactured at home,
when they are equally as good and
equally as cheap, is one of the great
difficulties in the way of successful
manufacturing here. 1t is unfortun-
agricultural implements, furniture and
everything else that we can and may
manufacture here, will be bought from
other cities, even when they are as
cheap here as there, with the cost OF
transportation added. Our people
seem to have a passion for buying
things brought from abroad, even
though they get no better bargains.
We appeal to all our Memphis manu-
facturers to know if they will not furn-
ish as good an article as can be brought
from Cincinnati or st. Louis, and can
their articles not be sold at as cheap
rates as those from Cincinnati or St.
Louis , We would be glad if some of
our manufacturers would furnish us
with detailed information on this sub
ject. How can we expect to make this
a manufacturing city if we prefer arti~
cles manufactured in other places and
purchase them in preference to those
made in our own city. Another diff
Guilty in the way of successful manu-
featuring here is, that we do not train
our young men to this busaless so as to
make them adopts. We seem anxious
to have our young.1leFen Engaged in the
nOn-producing pursuits which, though
useful, are nevertheless of less value
than the pursuits of agriculture and
manufactures. How many-YOung men
are engaged i'll the professions and in
mercantile pursuits that would have
been much more useful and more sue
cessful as skilled manufacturers. The
remarks of Mr.. II. Hale before the
Planters, Manufacturers and Mechan-
ics' Association of Mississippi, are so
pertinent that we will on some future
occasion publish them.
We must train our young men and
boys to be skilled in manufacturing or
we will never succeed in becoming a
manufacturing people. Another ditfiS
Guilty is the want of suitable dwellings
for labOTers in factories-cheap, neat
and comfortable residences; and land
owners, we fear, in too many instances,
ask too high a price for their real estate,
and thereby drive population away
from, instead of inviting it to our city.
If, as they say, the taxes are so high
let them sell off some of this high
taxed property at reasonable rates, and
thereby decrease their taxes, at the
same time they are promoting the
prosperity of the city. Nothing so
city as exhorbitant prices of real estate,
and the owners of property very often
defeat the object they have in view,
that is, the increase of their own indi-
vidua1 wealth. There are other causes
against our manufacturing
interests which we, will notice in fu-,
ture." -.

Vast Armies of the Insects Devastatc
NeYada.


A Virginia City paper. says :" The
State has been invaded by cricketS
Vast armies of them have entered the
eastern portion of the State. a week
ago the advanced guard of the devasta-
ting horde poured down upon ElkO,
and as they swept past with their 81
/ lent tramp, the people stood appalled,
at their numbers. The ElkO Lldcpel-
dent does not trace their course east
ward, but they evidently come from
Utah, the home of the cricket, grass
hopper and polygamOus Mormon, and
are endeaVOring to cut or eat their way
through to the green valleys of the
Truckee.-They are destructive on veg
! citation, and thor advance should be
stopped by some means. AS the mala-
riOus marshes of the Ganges seem to
| be the home of the cholera, SO does
( Utah appear to be the birthplace of the
| cricket and grasshOpper plaques of the
| Great Basin.
For the past eight or ten years, If not
| longer, that Territory has been sorely
afflicted with grasshoppers, and it has
sometimes seemed that the Saints
would be compelled TO yield their fields
and pastures to these innumerable and
rem0rseless destroyers. The cricket
pest, however, has been less severe,
and from the habits of this insect, we
do not apprehend that the present in
vasiOn will prove very destructive.
/ They sometimes appear in prOdigiOus
numbers, but they travel slowly, and
their advance is easily stopped. In
1880, for distance of twenty or twen-
ty-five miles, in Utah, the whole face
Of the country was so densely covered
with crickets--large, fat, clumsey,
WingleSS fellOWs-that the wheels of
the emigrant's wagon became amOst
clOgged with the crushed carcasses of
these insects. AS their course could
easily be traced, it was manifest that
they had not Travelled far, and winter
probably overlook them before they
swept over a very wide scope of the
country. They advance steadily how
ever, and multiply a hundred and fifty
fold each year.-Hence Crickets, now
that they have entered the State, may
be expected for some years to come
