It is pleasing fact that women are
awakening to just sense of the cruelty
with which their fallen sisters have beon
precluded from recovery, by the rigor OF
their prescription, and the depths OF go.
cial infamy to which they have been
consigned It is indeed necessary that
virtue and innocence should not be ex-
posed to contagion, but the worst dopra-
vity OF women Of the town comes from
their irreolaimable state, from their con-
sciousness that the edict of the world
has been pronounced against them, with
out appeal or pardon, and irrespective of
all differences as to circumstances or
condition. When this incxorable GEN.
tenoe shall have been relaxed, half the
work OF reform is accomplished; for we
do not believe women 80 fallen as to be
wholly destitute Of better instincts, and
leave to throw of their burdens is some
thing in moral progress.

And glittering insects gleam

I'm nine years old to-day,
Almost grown up You see;
And know enough to tell
That nine is three times three
And what are three times seven?
If YOU can't tell can;
1t means six feet and freedom,
And every inch a man.
I think know my tables
Very perfect. for boy;
But learning them. be certain,
Was not a special Joy.
However, that's all over,
And I'm just three times three;
Nearly as tall As mother
Almost grown up you see.
This morning father said
That years don't make the man
That nothing but the heart and mind
Makes one, or ever can.
But give me three times seven,
And l will risk the rest;
Though mother SAYS that of ones life
The boyhood is the best.
I'm nine years old to day
Almost grown up you see:
And, whatever may be lacking,
There's no baby about me.
i mean to study hard,
And learn everything I can;
So that when IN three times seven
I'll be every inch a'msn.
