FEMALE What is it that
makes those men who associate habit
ually with women superior to others 7
What makes that woman who is accus-
toned and at ease in the society of men
superior to her sex in general. Solely
because they are in the habit of free.
graceful, continued conversation with
the other sex. Women in this way lose
their frivolity, their faculties awaken;
their delicacies and peculiarities un-
fold all their beauty in the spirit of in
tellectual rivalry. And the men lose
their pedantic, rude, declamatory or
sullen manner. The coin of the under
standing and the heart is changed con-
tinually. The asperities are rubbed
OF, their better materials polished or
frightened, and their richness like fine
gold, is wrought into finer workman
ship by the fingers of women than it
ever could be by those of men. The

hidden, like the character and armor
Of giant, by studs and knots of good

THE PARTING HOUR.

The following exquisite poem, says tn,
Portland Evening Commercial, was writ
| ten by the late Edward Pollock, the gifted
Californian poet, on the 9th of January
1857, and has never been published. i
was given by the poet to a friend who was
about to depart Oh steamer for Oregon
Pollock saving: 'Take this; you may, per
haps, read and appreciate the sentiment
long after l have ceased to be among the
living
There's something in tho "parting hour
VIII chill the warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be
Adventurous, dangerous, far,
To the wild deep OF bleak frontier,
To solitude, or war
Still something cheers the heart that dares
In all of human kind,
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to the bridegroom's home
With doubtings and with tears,
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas the mother who remains,
What comfort can she find,
But this-the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind.
Have you friend-a comrade dear!
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
AT length will have an end!
And when you part-as part You will
0 take it not unkind,
If he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behind!
God wills it so-and SO it is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay.
And when, at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind?

Honor Your Business.


! We commend this paragraphs from,
the London Economist to all who have
a "vocation:"
| 1t is good sign when a man is
proud of his work or calling. Yet
nothing is more common than to hear
men finding fault continually will,
their particular business, and decming
themselves unfortunate because fas-
tened to it by the necessity of gaining
livelihood. In this spirit men fret
and laboriously destroy all their COM
forts in the work or they change their
business. and go miserable, shifting
from one thing to another, until tho
grave OF the poor house gives them a
fast grip. But while occasionally q
man fails in life because he is not in
the place fitted for his peculiar talent,
it happens ten times oftener that fail
ure results from neglect and even con-
tempt of an honest business. A man
should put his heart into everything
he does. There is not profession
that has not its peculiar cares and yex-
ations. No one will escape annoyance
by changing business. No mechani-
cal business is altogether agreeable
Commerce, in its encless varieties, is
affected like all other human pursuits,
with trials, unwelcome duties, and spir-
it stirring necessities. 1t is the very
wantonness of folly for a man to search
out the frets and burdens of his call
ing, and give his mind every day to
the consideration of them. They be-
long to human life. They are inevita-
BILE. Brooding over them only gives
them strength. On the other hand, a
man has power given to shed beauty
and pleasure upon the bomeliest toll.
if he is wise. Let man adopt his
business and identify it with pleasant
association; for God has given us i'm
aginations not alone to make some po-
cts, but to enable all men to beautify
honiely Things. Heart varnish will
cover up innumerable evils and defects.
Look at the good thing. Accept your
lot as a man does a piece of rugged
ground, and begin to get out the rocks
and roots, to deepen and mellow the
soil, to enrich and plant it. There is
something in the mostforbidding avo-
cation around which man may Irvine
pleasant fancies, out of which lie may
develop an honest pride.

THE JUDGES DAUGHTER.
BY REBECCA JONES.

So sad is my story, and so true, that
it seems branded into my memory in
letters of fire. 1t is no story conjured
up by the imagination, nor yet one that
needs any CLOSING over by a fertile
pen. All it's incidents are real-none
exaggerated.
Not many years ago a naughty old
man, a judge Of incorruptible morals,
died, leaving behind him two children.
After his death it was found that he
had not been so wealthy as many had
imagined, yet rich enough to leave to
each daughter moderate competence.
To the eldest sister descended the
homestead and sufficient income to
keep up some of their former style; to
the younger twenty thousand dollars,
invested in an old and trusty bank.
From infancy Estelle, the eldest, had
been acquainted with poor but proud
spirited boy. She had watched his in
effectual struggles for an education
such as he desired, admiring his UNI
conquerable ambition, and as he near
ed manhood he became her most ar
dent lover.
But the old judge demurred. No
daughter of his should encourage the
attentions of penniless youth-their
intimacy must cease.
Obedient as child, she listened to
her fathers commands, and obeyed
them implicitly.
He surrounded her with gay compa-
ny; he did everything that wealth or
taste could suggest to win her mind
away from her boy lover. But though
she uttered no complaints, he knew
that she did not forget.
At last he died. He did not bind her
with any promises. Perhaps in death
his eyes discovered that it needs more
than mere wealth to bring happiness.
Afterher bereavement Rupert Kings
land came to her again.
"Estelle, my love-" he said passion
ately, III could not keep away from
you longer. 1t may seem wrong to
you for me to come to you, now that
he is gone, when know how much
opposed he was to me; but, darling,
you are in trouble, and must comfort
YOU"
She did not chide him. She believed
her father must have relented, or else
he would have spoken and forbidden
her to receive him after his DEATH
She wept and sobbed on his bosom
like a child.
RUPERT" she returned, elf You had
forsaken me now, should indeed be
desolate."
"And to leave you ever will kill me!n
he calculated, impetuously. Course
my fortune, that must be forever de-
barred from your'
She started.
'Don't speak SO fiercely, Rupert"
she pleaded. ''No one stands between
us n0w.o
eyes, poverty stands between us, as
it even did," he replied. .'Never will
| take advantage of his decease to step
where he forbade me. fl
could ever obtain my wish of becom-
ing a great and famous physician, Es-
telle, then would I be proud to come
to YOU"
"Where would you so to become
doctor ?0 she quericd.
II would study in England, Franco
and Germany" was his eager response.

CARD FROM JAMES ARMSTRONG.

The undersigned would hereby respectful
ly beg leave 10 return his sincere thanks TO
the Democratic and Conservative voters OF
New Castle County, for their Partially In
selecting him as their candidate for the Sher-
ifialty from among so many other gentlemen
whose names were presented to them on
Saturday last, any one OF whom would have
done honor alike TO the office and to the
great party to which they have so long and
so faithfully adhered.
Il would afford him great pleasure TO visit
his friends in every Hundred in the County,
and to tender each, personally, his thanks Tor
the honor conferred upon him; but as circum-
stances, which are best known to those who
are most intimately acquainted with him,
render this impracticable, he adopts this as
the only available mode OF expressing his
gratitude to his ellow.cltizens for their past
support, and of soliciting a continuation OF
the same at the ensuing election, pledglng
himself that, should he be so fortunate as to
be elected to the said Office, be will discharge
its duties with honesty, fidelity, and to the
best of bis humble ability. -
