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.

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

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.

My theme, young ladies, is " Woman's

subjection and scrvico?don't ?>e alarm

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.

descent from a position of res.1 glory to
one of positive unlovelinessand degrada

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

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

?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

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:

| 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

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

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-|

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. She is big mocking bird
singing morning and evening to cheer
his heart. See them in the twilight?
happy parent! darling daughter! She
sits by his side, and smooths tenderly
his thin gray hair. 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.

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.,

They are the proprietors of Hall's Veg

from it, the hair, in a perfect etato of
health, is constantly falling out, and
new hairs grow from the same tubes;

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. Persons may
2at aud drink as usual, and they may be
taken at any time.

Sir?"Wo have been engaged for some
time in selling your preparations, and it
affords us pleasure to say that in every
instance they have given perfect satis
faction. We can more particularly
speak of your Sarsaparilla and Queen's
Delight, Liver Pills and Pain Alleviator,
[is being all they are represented to be,
having used them in our own families
with marked success; and would advise
every family to keep a supply on hand,
as they may be the means of saving
many dollars in doctor's bills, and alle

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.
Pill, Tape, and other.Worms, lurking in
tnc system 01 BO many tuousanas, arc eneciuany nc
atroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiol
ogist: There isscarcely an individual upon the face of the
earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms.
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.
No system of Mcdicinc, no vermifuges, no anthelmin
tics, will free the system from worms like these Bit
ters. ^
Mechanical DUcnies. Persons engaged in
Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters,

rie*, throughout our entire country during the Summer
and Autumn, and remarkably so during season* of
unusual heat and dryness, arc invariably accompanied
by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. 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?.

eases, Walkbk's Vinegar Dittsrs have shown their
great curative powers in the most obstinate and iulract

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.

? A/ enabled to offer, with a perfect
^ certainty that is wilL eradicate

ance, founded on proof, that no ham can arise
from its use In any quantity.
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. Thoso cured by it are 1eft as
healthy oaif they bad never had the disease.
Feeer and Ague is not alone tho consequence

order* arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headachc,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth

Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis,
and derangement of the Stomach, all of much,
when originating in this cause, put on the in
termittent typo, or become periodical. 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.
