nouncement in q morning paper that the pro-
gramme for the exchange of prisoners was set
tied yesterday and that Gen. Butler is to have
the sole mansgementof tho matter, and that
he already has "a checCmate for JEFF. Davis" is

this be not done, what will we have gained

head again, and our efforts will have been

The peculiar charm and real worth OF wom-
an does not consist in extraordinary talents.
superior accomplishments, nor even IN that
which above all other female embellishments
is most sought after-personal beauty. Her
stately form may be cast in the mould of per-
fection her gentle eyes may seem to win
their soft coloring from the azure heavens !;
her full lips may be of rosy die; her sable
tresses may linger seemingly on neck of
pearls, or sparkle in the sunbeam like threads
of waving gold, but what is beauty with
out virtue. 1t is indeed rose without fra
GRANGE, an apparition without substance.


Beauty and money, without true merit,
may win admirers for her, but such admira-
tion will be as transient as the blaze of a me-
teor. 1t may, perchance, get for her eligible
connections, but these will not answer the
wishes of her heart; they will not render her
happy.


Virtue is the original and the originator,
the grand archetype of happiness, the very
nucleus ofeyerything that is lovely in woman.
With it she needs no outward pomp; her
very countenance is full of majesty. In her
there is something commanding, so subduing
that even Williams respect her, and dare not
approach her temple, except in the character
of votaries.


Here, then, is the true source from which
flows the peculiar charm of women. Show
me yirtuous woman, and you will point me
to generous, affectionate, and sympathiz-
ing heart. Virtuous females are the guar
dian angels of society; they smooth the an
evan paths of life and soften the bed of afilic-
ton. In adversely, with angelic regard, they
sympathize with us; in prosperity, with &C.
static JOY, they rejoice with US.


Could we but see such being by the bed
side of departing friend, in the solemn yet
delightful attitude of PRAYER, with her gentle
eyes bathed in tears, modestly raised to her
Father in Heaven, the oil of eloquence upon
her tongue, the houey of persuasion upon her
lips she is the angel of love and comfort


The outlines of the scene can be but faint
sketched, for nought but an angels pencil,
dipped in the infinite conception of heaven,
can aid the glowing tint, and complete the
lovliness of the picture. A virtuous female
iss an Invaluable treasure. to her parents, a
diadem to her husband, and a blessing divine
to her offspring.
