MY SECRET. Have T n. secret? Nay, you see mo busy And merry always. St) you think and say: Why with your idle ponderings cloud; and darken This sunny day ? I have no secret for the world to ques tion, Nor even for my dearest ones to chide; My secret I can whisper to the Piaster? To none beside. Like the iron belt beneath the royal mantle, Close to my heart I press it, achingslow. You seo me smile; the smart beneath the laughter You cannot know. In that dear ear which ever listens, hearkens The faintest breath of human woe or pain, My voiceless voice pours an inccssant question, Like dropping rain. "Why is it, Lord? why is it?" Thu3 I murmur. No answer comes; or, on the winds low sip:h, -A iar-on, wmspcnug vuieu sajs; >* ait, my daughter," Or, "By and by." I could not bear my load without this easing; Into this secret deep my all I throw; That He is there, is listening and is loving, Is all I know. ^ O ? ADDRESS Delivered by Rev. W. T. Capers Beforo the Amelian Society of the Due West Female College, at tho Animal Commencement, July llth, 1872. Young Ladies of the A meUa.ii Society? Hv vmip invifjitinn to the Anniversary Address to-day, I con fess to no slight degree of embarrassment. Star-eyed Geniusperforming a service at the bidding of youth and beauty finds the task easy aud delightful. Such a speaker would feel like the brave knight eagerly waiting for the word that gives the op portunity to do a gallant deed in honor of fair woman. Responding to the bu gle's call for her champion, nroud of the plume her white fingers hau fastened to Lis helmet, relying on his own heart and arm and on his good steed's courage and Strength, he would take his place in the lists, radiant and rejoicing. But when the arm trembles as he lifts the lance, and the charger that should spring for ward at the touch of its master's spur tamely arables to the front a pacing pony, not a fiery courser, then it is diffi cult to command the spirit and keep right on, applying the steel and holding with both hands the heavy spear?then one's apprehensions overwhelm his zeal. O, for an imagination fearless and free, to bound along a course of light and joy, bearing a loyal will over the plains of thought in the ennobling service of the hope aud flower of humanity! A College Commencement is the most interesting of all the festivals of modern civilization. Jt is soul-stirring to see ingenuous youths arrayed for the journey of life and standing at its opening gates. And, oh! quick and warm beats the heart to see tho maiden, wearing the wreath twined by the hands of knowl edge, taste and piety, bowing her fail head to receive the counsels of experi ence, the blessings of affection and'the nf rwrr% T-Tnr/i {nfollnofunl UOUCUlUblUUO VI AAV4V iiivvuvvimti tastes, social impulses and Christian graces all find exercise and gratification. How much more befitting the dignity of human nature, the capabilities and aspi rations of immortal beings, an occasion like this, than a mere carnival of gaiety or brilliant assemblago of fashion and folly for purposes of vanity and dissipa tion ! In the salpons of revelry, beguiled, intoxicated with music, wine and danc ing, in the abandonment of sensuous en joyment, they cry: "On with the dance: let joy bo uncon fined; No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet. To cnase the glowing hours with flying feet." Alas! tho morning finds the bloom and freshness, the sparkle and the glad ness, gone?the head aching, the spirit decomposed, the mind paralyzed and the conscience ill at rest. 2'AmT is a better festival, furnishing pure enjoyment and dismissing its guests invigorated and re freshed?a festival to celebrate the diffu sion of intelligence and virtue, the mis sion of woman, the progress of hu manity. Standing at Due West to-day, on the broad platform of a liberal Christian cul ture for all human beings; believing in the fatherhood of God, human brother nooa, Uie reign OI inunue iove, uie uig-1 nity qf spiritual freedom, the cousecra t'oii of toil, the glory of sacrifice, the i beauty of holiness, tlio conservative power of woman in the relations of daughter,'sister, wife, mother and friend, j the ultimate triumph of truth and the complete vindication of Divine wisdom, tusticeand benovolencestanding here, leneath the "pinions of purple and gold," Amelia's "fair angel that floated all free, With a wiug on the laud and a wing on the sea," glance eastward along the track of the centuries, Pause at that lloman amphi theatre. with its vast multitude assem bled for a grand gratification; see the a icient Senators, with their wives and daughters, feasting their ejes upon the spectaclo of the struggling, mangled, dy ing gladiator, and compare heathen with Christian civilization. My theme, young ladies, is " Woman's Mission and Glory." Woman has amis sion, is constituted for it, adapted to it? ? wnrtn15oi?lv hnfftwn T-Tnr {ft UiiOOiUU pwvuiimij J/WM* tion requires humility, for it involves subjection and scrvico?don't ?>e alarm ed!?and demands sacrifice and charity. Hor work, her life, is her own. Man cannot live her deep life of suffering, pa tience aud love. Coleridge woll Bay a: ' There is a sex in oureouls." Man?we uso the term in the sense of humanity man is a duality in unity, two in one. "God said, let us make man in our image, after our own likenes3.' 'So God created man in his own image, iu the image of God created he him p and vet'male and female created he them." The Almighty /<oa?anpd to reveal his character throuch the Tiumanity lie made and separated as male and female, but united as the Adam la hie own image. The masculine and the feminine features together exhibit the likeness of the perfections of the great Creator. The uuion of Adam and Eve was the union of law and love?the marriage of strength and tenderness, of thought and taste, of invention and emo tion. When our Lord assumed our na-J ture, his human soul possessed all the at tributes and graces of the unfallen hu manity, man and woman in Eden. As a human being he had the meekness and the majesty, the yearning compassion and the commanding strength of the lof tiest conceptions of manhood and wo manhood. The lightning and the tear alike flashed or fell from his eye. From his face there beamed on the lowly and the penitent the softest look, from his JJpa there flowed on such the sweetest tones of maternal tenderness; but hy-; poerisy and cruelty oppressing the race, received only the convicting glance and! jitem rebuke of manly indignation. "SVo. man, then, as she came from the hands of the Creator completed the revelation of the moral idea ot God. The Redeemer reveals to fallen beings on earth, and to the angels in heaven, in His human na ture, the perfect image of God, its mas culine and its feminine features. Chris tianity makes woman tho equal, the companion of man, and unites the two in holy marriage, and presents in the human soul of the Saviour the spiritual union of the man and his help-mete. The feminine soul has more love and less logic than the masculine, more mecHness and sweetness, less self-reli ance and aggressiveness. The feminine soul of woman determines her sphere. ~ ? - ? 1 . JrtK /I ono I'f WI^Kki damage to her influence, without a sad descent from a position of res.1 glory to one of positive unlovelinessand degrada tion. >Ier organization, botli physical and spiritual, is more delicate and refin ed than that of man. Beauty, grace, tenderness, paticnce, lovingness, are her characteristics. Intellectually she is man's inferior; spiritually, she is hi:; su perior. Man is the stronger animal, woman the stronger soul. Courage, flow ing with man's blood, dares lean Cassius to plunge with him "into the troubled Tiber on a raw and gusty day," or "seeks the bubble reputation at the cannon's mouth;" fortitude, an attribute of wo man's soul, endures aftlietions and holds on bravely to life and duty. living's much admired figure presents the truth in part. Man is the oak, woman the ivy. fit nrnsnevft.v. thn stnrdv. self-reliant. tempest-defying tree lifts its graceful vine into sunlight, proudly protecting and sustaining its frail, clinging compan ion ; but when Iho bolt has struck the trunk and its branching honors have been torn away, then tho vine becomes the comforter, binding up tho shattered boughs with caressing tendrils. This [figure presents woman's tenderness and devotion beautifully; but Mrs. Brown ing, in the "lihyme of the Dutchess May," has laid bare the heart of woman as only the most gifted of her sex could, revealing in her bosom strength, pride, dauntless courage for the vindication of love, as well as perfect submission, con fidence and repose within love's encircl ing arms. Slie can dare dangers "and welcome death for and with the beloved one. Defying her guardian, the haughty Earl, who would compel her to marry one she loathed, flying from his hated tyranny, she bestows her hand upon her chosen knight: "And the bridegroom led the flight, on his red-roan steed of might; And the bride lay ou his arm, still, as if she felt no harm, Smiling out into tlio night." Their castle is beseiged by the cousin eho could not, would not; wed. He re solves to slay her husband and compel her to be his. The castle [s about to fall into the hands of her beseigers. Her| Knight despairs. He resolves to ride, clad iu full armor, from tho loftiest bat-1 tlement of tho eastern wall, and in that way save his honor and ths lives of his wife and followers. They are goading the gallant "red-roan steed" up the stairs. Inquiring their errand, the lady learns that hope is gone, and that Sir Guy has resolved to ride the wall. She betas her head and weeps. She is exhorted to braid licr hair and clasp her gown, that her beauty may find grace with the victorious Leigh. Then, "She stood up in bitter case, with a pale yet steady face; Tibn n efntnr t/urnfJrr-ftf riffle inh.ic.ll. though quivering, scans to look, Right against the thunder-place She led the horse to the height where her husband stood. "Soft lie neighed to answer her, and then followed up the stair, For the love of her sweet look. On the east tower, high'st of all?there, where never a loot did fall, Out they swept, a, vision steady?noble steed and lovely lady, Calm as if in bower or stall." She has determined that, if her hus band leaps over the wall, she will ^o with him. He wrings her hands in vain. She clings to him. At last, when the horse, rearing on the verge of the battle ment, was about to topple over, "She , OliV- i. WOU V?Jiim^i seated beside him: "yl/jci /icr Acad was on /;i.9 breast, where she smiled as one at reut." There are women, strong in womanly love and womanly pride, who could, like the Dutchess May, smile upon a hus ! band's breast when failing headlong into the abyss of death. Modern reformers, proposing to strike at tho root of human miseries and intro duce the golden age of universal freedom and enjoyment, clamor for universal equality. Ignoring the laws of the uni verse, blind to the demonstrations of the earth beneath and the heavens above, they insist upon the vine's ability to flourish unsupported and light, success fully the storm. They demand that the various departments of Government al! trades, professions and pursuits?be open to all, without regard to sex. In the name of philanthropy, bent upon tho overthrow of despotism and oppres sion, they madly eeek to amend theeon I stitution of the universe, reconstruct cre ation and improve upon the plan of God. because some husbands are brutes, they deny the wisdom and benevolence of the JDiviue appoiutmentof headship for man. Because some marriages r.re infelicitous, they would break the indissoluble bond whenever inclination and convenience ! umbrae;- Hwyinse some women are strong-minded and some men arc ci phers, they ridicule tho central idea of civilization, that the union of differently endowed beings, with different spheres, is necessary to conserve the family, the community, and secure both domestic peace and public order. How wild! The intuitions of every healthy heart cry out against such degradation of wo | man, such an attempt "to uproar the I universal peace and pour the sweet milk of concord into hell." | "Woman is degraded when removed ; from her position of help-mete. It would degrade sweet Venus to force her away from her proper place in the sky, to tako a bolder circuit among thelarger planets " 41 * i... s 01 uic ii'javaus. :\uw, is uui est, loveliest, morning aud evening atar ?star of love and peace, of home ami hope?but, moving in the orbit of Jupi ter, how cold and feeble ^he would ap pear! Bo, away from the hearthstone and the social circle, out of her place, woman's sweetness, her nobleness, her power, are gone. The quiet but mighty influence she exerts as tiie angel of home and queen of society is lost to the world, when she attempts to play the part of man. The spirit of chivalry in man de lights to place tho crown upon her brow and. with profoundest respect and loyal ty, yield her homage, when tho lignt or lovo is in her eye, the roso of modesty blooms in her cheek, and purity's lily trembles in her bosom. The scheme to make woman a politician, a voter, a law yer or a speculator is as wise as it would be to take your delicate geraniums from the conservatory and put them out in the open Held.* The heliotrope, when remov j ed from the green house to the garden, 'flourishes in the open sunlight like a strong-minded woman for a while, but loses its delicacy and fragraucc. With out that delicacy and fragrance, the human flower?"loveliest weight on lightest stem, joy-abounding woman"? would be but a weed. From one of the legendsof tho flowers, I we learn that tho moss rose at first was white, blooming in the forest, but when transplanted to the garden, and receiv-, ing the warm admiration of the sun, the soft flatteries of the zephyr and the praises of all visitors, her cheek flowed [with blushes. She implored Flora to send her back to the woods. Her re mmm/mmm?i*~ i quest could not bo" granted, but the Queen of the Flowers decreed that the blush of modesty should forever remain j her own peculiar charm, and gave a mantle of moss to veil her face. True womanhood is the moss rose, ever wcar i ing the blush of modesty and the mantle I of meekness. Explode the principle of autocracy in ! the family, substitute for it a co-equal partnership, then follows a dissoluble civil contract in place of marriage, two captains over the company, broils in the household, bate and divorce. Such was the social condition in Rome, where we lind Cicero repudiating Terentia because he wanted a new dowry, and old Metel lus telling the Senators "to look upon their wives as an utterly unmanageable I affliction and endure them philosophi w.i-* rxf cany, as necessary iu wu pui)uu.ttuui. ?,? the State." The women or Rome ac I quired the rights and lost the love of linen. Marriage becamo "intolerably disagreeable" and the ruin of the Empire followed. The success of the woman's j rights movement ruined Rome. Would not its success in the nineteenth century ruin America? Roman corruption | evolved woman's rights. Is not Ameri can corruption the source of the same movement in our day? In the days of the Republic's glory, Roman women were content to bo the wives and mothers of men. The noble matron, pointing to I her sons, exclaimed, with true womanly j pride, " These arc vsy jcwch." To train I her children?by vigilance, patience and I all the inimitable maternal arts to devel ! op the germ of nianlines3 in the boy and of purity in thegirl?to furnish her coun try witli defenders and the brides of heroes ?to refresh the weary warrior in the sacred refuge of their abode, instilling by her gentle ministry the softer senti ments into his proud, vindictive soul? these were the rights she desired to pos sess, and, having them,.felt that her re ward and glory were secured. Then | "Jtome survived." In the province of poetry woman is at home: in tho department of philosophy man is king. This ia true, notwith standing the productions of Shakspeare and Milton are cf higher order than! those of Baillie and Browning. The in tuitions, the sensibilities of poets come to I them from their mothers. The superior strength of the masculine imagination carries it to a loftier height of achieve !( tKn i nmi!rn( 5nn nf flip Muse, the feminine fire in his soul, that makes any man a poet. Lord Bacon, though prince of philosophers, "was a poor poet and a mean man. Have a specimen of his muse: "Ye monsters of the mighty deep, Your maker's praises spout ; Up from the sound ye coalings peep, And wag your tails about." The attempt of woman to do the work and win the honors of manhood would lead to as decided a failure as did Bacon's | effort to translate the Psalm?, into verse. J Let not "the silvery-footed antelope" j that gracefully aud guily springs under- i take tho labors of the horse, "whose! neck is clothed with thunder !'* Lctnot the nightingale cease ber singing toirni-j late Die llightand fierceness cf the eagle! Sublime is tho mission of woman, for it is liko that of ber Saviour. In the kingdom of his grace, the most child like is the greatest, the humblest is the highest, the meekest is the mightiest, the servant is tho superior. "Tho Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." To be like Him, to be a co-worker with Jlina in giving a Sa viour to humanity is woman's glory, only to bo attained through a life of hu mility, self-abnegation and love. Have another passage from that wonderful wo man who wrote "The Drama of Exile." Adam pronounces a blessing, at the com mand of Christ, upon Eve, and says : "liaise tho majesties Of thy disconsolate brows, O, well be loved, And front with lovel eyolids the To Come, And all the dark oJ the world. Rise, wo man, rise To thy peculiar and best altitudes Of doing good and of enduring ill, Of comforting for ill and teaching good, And reconciling all that ill and good Uuto the patience of a constant hope,? lliso with thy daughters! If sin came uy nice, And by sin death?the ransom-right ousiiess, The heavenly -light and compensative rest Shall come by means of thee. If woe by thee Kad issue to tho world, thou shalt go forth An angel of the woe thou dids't achicve. ****** Thy lovo Shall chant itself its own beatitudes, After its own life working. A child's kiss Set on thy sighing lips shall make thee glad; A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich ; A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong; Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense Of service which thou rcndercst." Such is thy glorious mission and thy rich reward, O, woman. Man occupies the throne, but thou, when clothed with purity, veiled with modesty, moving se renely in the sphere of home, thou art "the power behind the throne, which is greater than the throne, without which the throne would crumblc. As a true woman acting in her proper sphere is the loveliest being on the the earth, is almost an angel, so one false to her missian is the most unlovable* The languishing syren of thesofa, whoso admiration of her own face, form and finery is so intense and absorbing that sho seomg not to know that she has a soul r.nd a Saviour; whose culture has beon confined to the sensational depart ment of the lightest literature, the arts of luxurious indolence and the accom plishments of the ball-room; whose con versational performances ventilate a few memorized sentences of syllabub senti ment, sprinkled with interjectious and adjectives of the superlative degree: I whose delicate nostril quivers with dis | gust at the mention of domestic duties, laud whose gazelle eyes open wide with | wonder wL'.*n her intellect is addressed? that is not a true woman. ratuer a ueco rateU plaything. iike her own beloved and be-ribboned poodle?a most exacting and expensive live toy, as ununited fur all the real v/omauly work of life as the frames you see in fashionable storec, only useful to display the triumphs of millinery and mantaumalring. She can not help anything. Tell hor of the suf fering poor and she wonders v/hat such creatures live for. Speak of God's love and beauty and she sleeps. Talk of ! firnwfh through s&lf-denial and obedi jeuco and she is frightened. Read the description of a virtuous woman in the Bible, and she confesses tliut for her such a life would bo worse than death. Poor child! She is a beautiful corpse now; and the beauty of the dead, you know, is the forerunner of the decay that must be buried out of sight. Love's own hand hides it in the grave. Dora C'op jperfleld was a winsome creature, the vory child of love and sweetness, but only a child?a pretty pet. She had'nt the heart to drive the lap-dog olT the dinner-table; and, O, how sho cried when Doadv scolded Jip! Is the brilliant lady of fashion a true woman? To dres9 tastefully, becoming ly, elegantly, if you can afford it, is right. There is no virtue, no religiou, in presenting an uncouth appearance. I Some, of fanatical turn of mind, imagine j that piety and taste are oppo'sites, that a lineal bag is a better dress for a spiritual ! woman than a neatly fitting robe, with Ik coming folds and frills. This is absurd. We get true taste from Him who plants j all our flowers, and who "makes the out rt goings of the morning and evening to rc joiee." fc>liall God adorn ft clod with a daisy, and shall His immortal child be forbidden to put a rose in her hair? But the worshipper of Fashion is an idolater. Not content with the outward adorning that expresses a gentle nature, a loving heart, she seeks to dazzle all beholders by strikingly contrived and splendidly arrayed styles. The materials must be fine, costly, and the fashion of the dis play must, by its conformities audits departures from nature?we almost said shockingdepafivrcfi from nature?kindle the admiration of surprise as well as that of a gratified taste. Dress with her is everything. She lives to dress. Dress is the everlasting subject of thought and j topic of conversation, the end of all ef fort, the summitot'all aspiration. This {is to make the soul the servant of the i body?to materialize it. This is to de velop selfishness and enthrone vanity as 1 * 1 ~ ?? ?-?i rni. ^ mistress 01 me umiu. awo rumijj sion of the fashion ist is not a pure desire to fulfill a high mission, to live a noble life, to he blessed in blessing, to be led by the guiding hand of Il eaven back to the Eden of lost perfection and blessedness, but the passion of a perverted nature in love with it3 own physical charms and bending it? energiesfoincrease the num ber of idolaters.~ It irj deplorable to ob serve the demoralization of society as seen in thecxcessive and absurd dressing of the panniered followers of Parisian pea-fowls. The disease is epidemic. To dress fashionably, to cut a figure, to shine, becomes the ardent longingof the poor. Many refuse to attend the service of the sanctuaries where the wealthy worship tbe Lord and mammon. Many wander from a home of honest poverty and a lot of simplicity and toil, to gain glitter and gloss for the body at the fear ful cost of honor and peace. Drink and dress are the great enemies of society I The cno ruins the men and the other the women ! Weak, mistaken is the parental love that flatters, that dcvelopes the vanity of a child by arraying it in costly apparel, teaching it to compress its form into a more attractive slenderness of waist and conform its carriage to the ungraceful gait of the latest bent! of French folly. The true woman dresses tastefully and controls her natural tendency to seek ad miration, that she may be the better pre pared to do her work, the work of a soul of 1)eauty, a joy forever. Since every maiden crystalizes into a woman, trua or false, by the time she bids her teens farewell, and will, without an extraordinary gracious change, either glorify or make miserable her home thenceforward, how important is the thorough training that lits the gentle trirl bvand by to do the work, live the life and wear'tlio crown of true woman hood. The physical, the mental, the spiritual faculties, all should be educat ed. The young girl having left what Dr. Holland calls the chaotic dispensation, and passing through the transitional, [should learn that life has a meaning?a deep meaning?that its meaning is duly in the light of redeeming love. She should wear the cross uot as a mere ornamental fastening for the lace about the neck, but the symbol of loving obedience and unselfish devotion. Indeed, the very first lesson learned in childhood should be self-denial, generosity, the happiness of milking others happy. In that way the little, hungry, human animal is elevated into a loving human soul. The germ of womanliness is in tho infant's breast. Judicious training, practical aud percep tive, with Cod's blessing, develops the germ and gives it the victory over the heart-thorns of a fallen but redeemed na ture. Part of this training is tho work of parents and teachers, part is her own work,and in it all and through it all the grace of God is felt. It begins in the cradle and is carried on at home, at school, in the play-ground, in society and in the church, and it is aflectcd by aii the surroundings and associations, the occurrences and occasions of life. In the passage to young womanhood it is exceedingly unfortunate to hold mistaken views of life. With some about the time the long dress diplaces the short one, and the tendency to cat slate pencils and build castles-in-fhe?air, is apparent, the mind is principally ex li?innv nnil t.hn Brand UIOIWU *WVU? , 0 achievement of life to such is to escape tho horrors of the spinster's fate. This should be regulated. The young girl should by pleasant employment, by wholesome maidenly action, avoid the realm of dream?, and in the ministry of the daughter and the sister seek to pre pare herself to be a true woman, Heaven blcSj her! married or single. Slit* should feel that the lasting beauty of the sex 3s the expression of a womanly soul, not the mere regularity of features, fair ness and smoothness of brow and cheek and symmetry of form, allot' which a wax doll rnaj' display most triumphant ly. The uppermost idea in her mind .should be to prepare to live truly and gloriously. Old maids are, in my opin lion. ladies, shamefully slandered. In | how many homes are they ministering angels, without whose nlieetionato aid the mother of the family would be over whelmed with the burdens of the house hold, and to whom father, mother and children are indebted for daily kind nesses ! In how many communities are they active, sympathetic sisters of char ity! In how many churches are they the most faithful members, combining the spirituality of Mary with Martha's generous care for the temporal comfort of the pastor cud the poor. They are single because they are not luiud<ome, or, because they were not so'ughtby con-| genial spirits, or to discharge a sacred | duty to dependent relatives, or to follow In.-* nf n tftvmnr ennI 1/iIU OwMmj; |MV1^?VUVV ?* V.W..Q ??? >. It is infinitely bettor to bo a plain old maid with that winning charm of Iov ingness which makes her lovely tbait to bo "mated with a clown, Thegrossness of whose nature will have weight to drag them down." In the training of the true woman, a sensible regard for the health and due developement of the body, forbids ail fashionable fetters. Lot the young mai den bound along in innocent play and healthful exercise, that tho young woman may have some physical vigor for tho life before her, that the roses in her cheeks may be natural ilowers that no showers can wash away. I\o woman can act well her part whose training did not include a practical knowledge of domestic allairs, an indi vidual initiation into the mysteries of the various departments of housewifery, i Of course, tho needle nnd tho sewing machine must be familiar acquaintances, and it would bo well to know something of the scientific management of the inevitable chicken. V\Te listened with interest not long ago loan animated dis cussion between two reiiucd ladies on the best treatment of an afJlictc<J fowl. One preferred the surgical, the other the botanical practice. Those ladies J commauded our respect. The fact is, sentiment is light diet for the creation j of blood and bone?the soundest logic cannot make man coml'ortablo without his dinner?and the divloest poetry fails to soothe his troubled breast, or to inspire'him with amiable feelings, when his home is in confusion and the igno rance and incompetency of its mistress mingle in his mind with "thoughts that breathe and words that burn." What! make an educated, accomplish ed woman a drudge? Soil her soft fin gers with the ingredients of pies and puddings? Consume her time in per petual attention to the numberless de tails of household economy? By no means! We only mean to say that that without a knowledge of domestic occu pations, of the systematic management of an establishment, from the first rule of universal cleanliness, to the last of arranging tastefully the llowers in the vases, no lady, however gifiod, is pre pared to preside gracefully or success fully over it, nor to make it the sweetest place in all the world to those who call it home. The influence of a true woman i^ greatly enlarged by sugh culture of the mind as supplies the resources and the skill of a charming conversationalist. And here, young ladies, the value of a collegiate education is very evident. Study, by their exercise strengthens the mental faculties, and furnishes them ! with information to enrich conversation. [ To converse with a pedant proudly pa l rading the essences and ologies, the ob jective and the subjective in swelling sentences of sesquipedalian proportions lis to be placed in the predicament of the simple individual who replied to a pre tentious declaimcr of Johnsonian lati j nisms, that he did not understand Dutch. I Pnrln.nt.i-v wrinklps the smooth bl'OW, and spoils tho expression ol' a sweet mou111, but O what a treat to converse with a lady of flue culture, whoselearn ! ing is managed by feminine taste, and j i.s modestly employed in the interest of I truth and goodness! Let the womanly [heart witb all its pure and precious in j stincts guide the well-trained und fur Ifurnished miud, and in conversation as in letter-writing, woman commands the field, and wins from her brother the [homage of his delighted attention. (Compare thereliuing,strengthening in [iluence pervading a parlor where men and women of good sense, good taste and liberal culture meet, the woman contributing the inspiration and the music of "the feast of reason and the flow of soul," compare the atmosphere of such a circle with that of the draw i.1 wlinpn lionnv niir! linllps Dolt each other with the sugar plum of flirta tion, flatteries as light as foam, and false as the bubble that floats in the air like a round and beautiful world, but van ishes into nothing at the touch. It is like the passage from a room full of fresh, pure air, with a pleasant odor of [roses to a close apartment filled with the sickcning perfume of decaying gardenia blossoms, mixed with carbonic-acid-gas from human lungs. Now the admission that sentiment, pleasantry, the spark ling speech and Uie gay repartee are el ements of refreshing conversation, does not establish the propriety of discarding everything else. To least forever upon sweetmeats would be destructive to hnalth. if it were possible to appetite. Bread, wholesome,"nourishing bread of truth is the food for the mind. Let us have bread lirst and bon bons afterwards. Conversation receives vast damage from the tendency to seek for mental stim ulants. Heading, that excludes every solid treatise, and eagerly pursues sto ries and exciting narratives, vitiates the taste and enfeebles the faculties of the mind. One who examines the pulse of society is struck by its feverish beat. The unduo exercise and developement of one faculty is at the expense of others, and disease results. But young ladies you have been better taught. Wo are delighted to believe that you areprepar cd to go from these peaceful groves to make glad the hearts of those who love you, to brighten the homes God has given you. There id a glorious work For every one of you at home. Carry there your learning and your accom plishments, your gifts and your graces and lay thcin upon the altar ot love and duty. ' Live in deeds, not years,in thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. "So shalt thou make life, death and that vast forever, One grand sweet song. How pure, how angelic is the love of a sister!?and how gentle, and yet how mighty is her influence. Its memory is a precious talisman to hold steady the impetuous man as with an anchor amidst the currents of temptation and the storms of the world. Out upon the waves of adventure, far from the old oak tree that sheltered his childhood, the thought of her is like a purifying presence, dispersing all unworthy aims and inspiring the high resolve to do uoble things. How beautiful is tho daughter's de votion. See that cottage! The vine that so gracefully shades the porch was trained by her lingers* Tlie liowers that grow in the window are hers. Her hands have arranged the furniture. Her bright form graces the board. She is the old man's only child. Her mother is in Heaven.

He holds her dear head on his breasti It is thesweet flower blooming in the cleft of a hoary old rock. A tear of exquisite rapture fills his eye and falls upon her tresses. "Some feelings are to mortals given, With less of earth in them thau heaven, And if there be a human tear, From passions dross refined and clear, A tear so limpid and so meek, It would not stain an angel's check, 'Tis that which jiious father's shed Upon a duteous daughter's head. An Essential of Loveliness.?To be entirely beautiful the hair should be abundant and lustrous. This is abso lutely essential to complete loveliness. The most regular features, the most bril liant complexion and pearliest teeth fail of their due effect if the hair be thin, dry, or harsh. On the contrary the plainest face, if it be but surmounted by luxuriant and silken tresses, is apt to w'fh a c-nno.fi nf IUU uviiuiuvi irivu i? mv?jwv w. actual beauty. That crowning ornament I of her sex is, happily, within the reach I of lovely woman, and being as discrim inating as she is lovely, she long ago discovered that Lyon's Kathairon was the sure means of securing it. No prep aration fir)r the hair ever enjoyed a tithe of its popularity, and no v/onder, since it produces such gratifying results. Ap plied to the waste and barren places of the scalp, it fructifies and enriches them 1 1 - xi- n with a new ana ampie growui. it j? net, of course, pretended that it will do this if the capacity for reproduction is extinct, but so long as it remains that wonderful rehabilitaut will assuredly propagate the germ of the hair into life and activity. It. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, I\. Y., will send his book on chronic diseases free to any address. The question has often been asked by those interested, "Can I have my gray hair restored to its natural color, with out coloring the skin ? and can my thin leeks be thickened up?" We answer, "It cauand would advise you to read a treatise on the hair, which is published by R JP. Fall & Co., Nashua, N. II., who send it free, upon application. They are the proprietors of Hall's Veg etable Sicilian Hair Hc-nov/er.

A Stubborn Fact.?There is scarce ly any disea.se in which purgative medi cines are not more or less required, and much suffering might be prevented were they more generally used. No person can fceljwell while a'costive habit of ' body prevails; besides, it soon generates serious diseases which might have been avoided by a timely use of Cathartic Medicines. For this purpose, Dr. Tutt's Vegetable- Liver Pills are confidently "ecommenilcdf they are mild, safe, prompt and uniform in their action. They contain no mercury.

Juno 10,1872, 20?tf Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink, made of Poor Rum, Whiskey^ Proof Spirits and Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiccd, ana sweetened to please the taste, called "Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restorers," &c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but arc a true Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulant*. They are the Great IJIood Purifier and a I.ife-giving Principle, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying o(T all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy condition, cnriching it, refreshing and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease. No Person can tako these Bitter* accord ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poisou or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. Dyepepgia or Indigestion. Headachc, Pain iu the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dii ziness, Sour Eructations of tlie Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the I.ungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the oQsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no eqnal, and one bottle will prove a better guar antee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood; or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that a marked improvement is soon percep tible. For Inflammatory and Chronic Bhen matlsm and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have T)io?<t?AQ nrA rain/?^ Kil Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derange ment of the Digestive Organs. They are a Cfcntlo Purgative as well as a Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieriuc Congestion or Inflam mation of the Liver aod Visceral Organs, And in Bilious Diseases. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Ery sipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolor?.:,'uns of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and cirried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse tlio Vitiated Blood whenever too find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feeliugs will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Grateful thousands proclaim Vinegar Bit txrs the most wonderful Iuvigorant that ever suMkined the sinking system.

It is not upon the healthy elements of the body (hat worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these liviqg monsters of disease.

There are always more or less obstructions of ths liver, a weakness and irritable state of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There it no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinrgak Bitturs, a# they will speedily remove tho dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy function! of the digestive organ?.

Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of tlie Skin, Sore Eyes, etc., etc. lu these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walkbk's Vinegar Dittsrs have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and iulract able case*. Dr. AVftllcer'a California Ylucgar Cittern act on all those cases in a similar manner. By purifying the Biood they remove the cause, and by resolving away the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits) the alTected parts receive health, and a permanent cure The properties of Dr. Wai.kkr"s Vinegar Bitters are Aperient. Diaphoretic and Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irri tant, Sudorulc, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. The Aperient and mild Laxative nronerfies of Dr. Walker's Vi.xtcar Eittbrs are tiie Dist safe guard in all cm of eruptions and malignant fevers, tli?ir balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protect the humors of the fcxuccs. Their Sedative properties allay pain.in th; nervous system, stomach, and bowels, either from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their Counter-irritant influence extends throughout the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid neys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. Their Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secre tion of bile, aud its discharges through the biliary ducts, and ara superior to all remedial agents, for the cure of Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, etc. Fortify the hotly ngainiit disease by puri fying all its fluids with Vinugar Bitters. TSo eni demic can take hold of a system thus forearmed. Tne liver, the stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, and the nerves are rendered disease-proof by this great invig oranl. Directions.?Take of the Bitters on going to bed at night from a half to ono and one-half wine-glassfull. Eat good nourishing food, such as beef steak, mutton chop, venison, roast beef, and vegetables, and take out-door exercise. They are composed of purely veget able ingredients, and contain no spirit.

That which protects from or prevents this dis order must be of immense service in the com munities where It prevails. Prevention la better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis temper. This " Cube" expels the miasmatio poison of Fever ajtd Ague from the system, and prevents tho development of the disease, if taken on the first approach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this" class of complaints, but also tho cheapest. The large quantity we sup ply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious districts, where Fever ahd Agub prevails, everybody shoild have it, and use it freely, both for cure and pro tection. It is hoped this price will place it wife. In the reach of all?the poor as well as the ricn. A great superiority or this remedy over any other ever discovered for tho speedy and certain, cure of Interrolttenta is, that it contains no Qui nine or mMeral; consequently It produces no-. quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon die constitution.

This "Core" expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an in valuable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing In tho mala rious districts. If taken occasionally or dally while'exposed to tho infection, that will be ex creted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more valuable for protection than cure: and few will ever suffer from Ioter inittents if they avail themselves of the protec tion this rcmctfy affords.

Perhaps no one medi cine 1b bo universally required by every body as a cathartic, nor was ever any bo fore so universally adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as tliis mild bat efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more relia ble and far more ef fectual remedy than any other.
