The Influence OF Women.

The man who has not female friend
somewhere, who believes in him, trusts
him and even loves him, is so far on
the road to ruin that he may be deemed
incorrigible. HIS own self.respect is
not only gone TO return no more forever,
but every tie of humanity is sew
cred, and all hope Of reform forever
blasted. In fact such an instance can
scarcely be imagined; there is moth.
er's heart, a sisters love, wife's af-
lection, a daughters devotion--a lin
gering spark Of woman's love some :
where, which, ever and anon must shine
upon the vision of the most abject, or
the most abandoned wretch that lives
upon the face of Gods fair earth.
Again, in sickness, sorrow or despair,
to whom does the eye of man turn with
such an anxious yearning as to
the face of lovely woman? The rough.
est of her sex will be an angel to his
vision, and her fond hand placed upon
his aching brow will soothe to quiet rest
the raging tempest in his bosom.
But this is not all. Her smile is
potent to revive fainting hope. or to
rouse the Responding heart. Her frown
will chide the wayward, and intimidate
the vile. No better illustration of this
fact can be found than in the late cru
SADIE against liquor selling. Think of
it as you may, they have brought to
bear an influence on the cause of tenn
perance which is to-day felt through the
length and breadth of the coun try. True
it may not be permanent, but it shows
that there is power in woman that
reaches the Utmost recesses of the heart
"a power which no opposition can re-
sist, and which when properly used, can
and will control the destinies of the
universe.
Give women the credit that belongs
to them-give them the free air of heav-
en- to breathe-give them all the rights
that properly belong to them-civil and
political, moral and religious, and the
world will be reformed, man elevated,
and society re-modeled. lis true, may
be, that too much reform at once might
ruin US; hence we counsel prudence, and
would advise Il course of philosophical
training in preparation for the good
which may be in store for the human
race under the benign influence Of the
women of the coming period.

Alaska as New Iceland.

The Icelanders have recently cele'
brated the one.thousandth anniversary
of the settlement Of their remote ances
tors in their lleak northern home, u
region Of dreary wastes, volcanic noun
tains and vast fields of lava. In the IN
terror are extensive regions embracing
thousands of square miles where moth
inc is to be seen but the vestiges OF vol
ranic destruction, Since the first Settle
ment the climate and physical geography
of tho country have undergone q re-
markable change, 80 that the country Is
now scarcely habitable. For a long
period the mean annual temperature mas
been steadily decreasing. Varieties OF
Grain and vegetables formerly raised IL
comparative abundance will no longer
groW there. The ancient forests have
almost entirely disappeared. me raw
ages of famine and pestilence have re-
duced the population to some io,OOo.
These facts have warned the lcelanaers
that the time is at hand when their
native land will cease to be habltable by
man, and they began some years ago TO
lool, abroad in search of some region
70 which they might emigrate. A lew
hundred of them undertook to establish
a settlement in the highlands OF Brazil,
but they found theclimate uncongenlal,
and the colony went to Canada, but
were not satisfied in their new home.
Others tried some OF our western states,
with 10 better result. More recently
some of their lending men have con
ceiyed the idea that of oil the territory
Of the United States Alaska will SUIT
them best. In this belief they have
petrtioned toe president to furnish IA
cilities to a committee of lcelanderS to
visit Ala.ka for the purpose OF ascer'

day Of last week they sailed for Sitka

that Alaska is I'll that it has been rep

effect of which will undoubtedly be It

emigration from the old Iceland to tin

appeared in vast numbers on the beet

successful. The birds rushed at them,
and for several DAYS lived upon no other

awhile it was uncertain which party
would prevail, but latest accounts re-

Coal for Pigs.

There is no doubt in our mind OF the
benefit from feeding c~arbonaceous mat
ter to swine when they are kept in close
pens. The avidity with which hogs eat
rotten wood is we'll known. Charcoal
is but another form, The utility OF
feeding wood has long been recognized.
We some Years since substituted the
ordinary western stone coal with the
best results, where from 200 to 800 hogs
we're kept in close pens, on the refuse
of city hotels. Something of the kind
seems as necessary to them rs salt to
herbiycrous animals. We have known
them to consume o pound in the course
of a day, and again they would not seek
the coal for s0me time. just what the
particular use coal is in the animal
economy, is not SO easy to answer.
