CONCLUDED. . ff is tory is the great " Mistress of Wisdom/'-and of coarse, therefore, it merits considerable attention front" a?' literary characters. But this is ?more properly tho field in which the r?der sex should "search-for hidden treasures of classic lore ; since " the man passes from drama to 'drama, riot one of which resembles another, from experience to experience, from battle to battle. " History goe3 "forth, ever far-reaching, and continually crying to him, "forward." ' **The Woman, on the contrary, follows the noble and serene epic that 'nature .chants iii her harmonious cy oles, repeating herself with a touch ing" grace of constancy and fidelity!" Poetry is the language of nature, and therefore it should constitute one o? 'Woman's chief studies. The chaste and gracef?l passages to be met with in Moore, Young, Pope, Gray, Scott, .cannot fail to pro duce effects pleasant and salutary in the extreme. Byron might be trustet? in her hands, but great care should be- taken, to warn the innocent maiden against- the evil of trusting herself too carelessly iii the perusal 'of sotrie of the poems of this great and gifted genius of'the muses. For it is bat too true that many of the delicious draughts that may be drunk from1 this rich fountain of poetical beauty are sweetened .' iviih, poinono/is /to?icy." Milton is the most subline of ali poets ; and his poems are entertaining as *ell as highly- edifying, Especial ly dc**- his Paradise Lost" merit, ?l?sest perusal ; tor the ideas therein contaya^d are almost superhuman in their beauty and sublimity^ .and th* language, in which those wonderful-' sentiments of "the divinely.icfcpired author are couched, is remarkable for rta- peculiar -eloquence and classic grace. TaU?irtg is an exquisite art, andi claims a large share ol' Woman's favor. In- the language of a promi .. thc arM V De jueuui^ mt.u .'wi i . .,j those of literature, and even en: piy their place. -WhaJ, Rabelais and Shakespeare could not express ol' some idea, some nice feature, some aspect of their age, is told by Da Vince, by Coreggio, by Michael An gelo, of-Gougon.'' . . Botany i*, perhaps to a greater de-, gree than any other, the study most devoted to nature. This is especially Woman's proper field of action. Flow ers th ?n?elv?s are beautiful, and in studying their construction or forma tion, the true mother or wife is but doing a duty-a duty pleasant and productive of much good. For it is without doubt an obligation resting an the mistress of a household to do ill in her power to render liome the, " dearest spot on Earth" to those for whom, she lives. Yes, mothers and wives, study the beautiful, the chaste, and refined ^so . that you may be enabled to have'your homes become beautiful gardens of peace and quiet ness, and that they may be place*, of comfort and cheerfulness, to which the wearied, and tempest-tossed poli tician, or man of .business, may fly, and.be safe from the bustling lile of the outside world,-secure in your love end affectionate regard. " Music is the crown, the perfect flower of arts ;" and yet it is But a modern art, comparatively. Yes, " music is the true glory, the very spirit of +he modern . world." It iti "the art of fusing hearts, the art of mutual penetration and "an intimacy so ef?se, -that by it, into the heart of your beloved, ypur wife, "the mother o"f your children, you shall penetrate still deepe-. What Duuiesnil and Alexandre-havft'saifi of graivd Sym phonies, of the ?ousic of Friendship, of chamber music, I admire too much t(# repeat." Indeed,.muaio Uss many, peculiar charms. It is itself a charm.' It is the Queen of the frne arts. In its power it is omnipotent It is the most fascinating of all the varied ac complishments which Woman can.-ac quire. It'seems to beber peculiar pro-? vineevtooyaml almost criminal wonld she be, who, having been endowed with a r?nsioal talent, were to alllow Uris ?ich gift of Heaven to pass by unheeded, unappreciated, and uncul tivated. rJfb^rxpr4??rv^Whoa^ heart is not touched?y tlie melodious har mony of mrreic is deprived of nindi of'the sweetest joy that this world* of beauties affords. The great Shake speare, who was the most accurate andskiHfoJ portrayer of human nature that the world Lae ever produced, se*rnrt?Bto -bate been itoMy-'-aware ?of. the ti ue value of this unequalled art; and his idea is couched in the folio wf ing graphic language ; " He who.hath not music in his soul, and is not moved by the sweet coucord of -sound, |-is fit for treasons, stratagems -and spoils." above-mentioned are the subjects of study and practice ta whick. Woman should chiefly devote her talents. Were she to-.think some what less o? the flimsy decorations with which she so profusely adorns her ?xqirisite person, she would' have muck more leisure for mental* and moral out ture ; and, tiren it.- could with mtrch less reason be remarked : . ? "Rose of the garde?, how unlike .thy , doom, Destined for others, not thyself, to bloom Culled- e're thy beauty lives through half its day... ? ? I A inomont cherished, andtnen vast away tBose of the garden! such' is Wotnan't 1 * lot,- ' Worehpu'd, while.blooming-when ?he fades, forgot." Yes, Woman should ripen and not fade into maturity I ? ?TowauVs the Qoddcs* 0/lfQv'c.' By nature she'is sp censtithped as to be more capable of entertaining an affectionate reg<rrd for those who have cl&iras upon*buT affec't^pn, than is her rough, rude companion--man Miehelet says tihat, " the object of love, Woman, is a being who stands qnKe atone, and is much more unlike man than would at fijet appear ; even more than (littering from, opposed to him, but pleasingly opposed, in a playful 'and harmonie contes^ wh?cn ?obstitutes the great charm of this world." W-e will not venture to inquire with scrutiny into the. nature of love itself ; for the freedom of expression which it would" be necessary to use, in endeavoring to define it, would, perhaps be highly objectionable. However, it must be said that'-there are different kinds of loVe. By "some unworthy, writers, this- emotionm or passion has beeu grievously slandered* Yet, there can be wo doubt hut that there is such a thing as trae lav?, pure aud undefiled. Indeed'it Ts the main spring of life. It is- evea by frome highly eulogized, and exalted into, au immortal and a heavenly existence I A.deep thinker has written thus': "?A 8weetconcert, sauctifyingettr-tb, had commenced between ns. Of our double heart th?' celestial harmonist had just mnuc a musical instrument;, he* was playing rhe* prelude, if fhe att i M" 1>-I<J cnnTined if deaths whjeh seerr ; to . .. .:.!. c.'*fS.>i?r?.;? -:.:...!'. aw* ' . v*vrit> ,...?. why it may be credited ; yet, aft? all, many powerful arguments might *be brought forward to proved contra ry doctrine. But it js one of tJiose hidden mysteries, " beyond the power of finite mind lo scan ;" and as the arguments in favor of the pleasing theory are plausible, it is well to leave the unravelled mystery in the impenetrable darkness by which it is surrounded. Whatever love may be in.the future world, or whatever effect it may have upon kindred spirits after they have met in the vast etejnity, is more-than man, with all rhe accumulated wis dom of thousands of years, is capable of determining. 43till there is one thing jquite incontrovertible, and it "is that in this world it is the sublimest of passions. It is a " wellspring of pleasure, a true messenger of peace and Jiappinass." It- is tho great foundation upon which the association, teamed thc family, rests ; society rests upon the family ; and upon theproper arrange ment, minagement, and purity of socie ty, the wonderful fabric of Govern ment d?pends. Then, it must be that love is a motive power. Yes, it is the grand ground-work of all things good'and great ! It is -that which prompts a man to struggle courageously for the liberty of his country^ for tTie projec tion of'thbSe WhVr Wre lieafew 'and dearest to him! It is the .golden link which binds earth to the throne of high Heaven! It is the cord which connects old age with the bright days and happiness nf-youth ; and it is true that "Some portion of paradise stu Lis on earth,. . And Tfiden revives in the first kjss of love." " When ugo chilly the blood, when our l?lBaSum.-ace, p*?*--*} M t For y earn fleet away with tho wings.nf the dove- i j The doaveet .remembrance vi ll* still oe the last, Our sweetest* memorial the first kiSSj of lo cr.." And even when the pleasures of life are^astj ^\4;^rp}^y-\a drawing near; when the fatal houri has at lejigth approached, and the fierce angel of death warns na to bk! the last sad farewell to those who are sq cW?ff-tWn l?*'thVTiute', toat?iilM when the presence pf loved ones is stf much desired ; and the poor mortal is wont to breathe his last resting oh' some, friendly bosom. . m Yes,, love is the great talisman for all earthly woes. It protects the Ht'" j ile babe, whilst sleeping in the-cradle ; ; I it buoys the br?Ve heart of man, and j ! urges him renewed efforts in ' fgii. terrific battle ' qf life.

"Why," says he,"is the jmdoio generally pret tier than- the young giri? Some one has said because*foi;e.?bas passed over her. But he should\-also have said because love stjll -abides -with her, we see in her its beautifying traces. ?n cultivating such ft flower time has dot been wasted.

When the seton Southern States had with drawn, th?'Border States, which were most deeply concerned in the North ern attacks oh slavery, still clung to the Union; Virginia, despit? the pi ratical invasion of her territory and the midnight robbery and murder passionately sanctioned by her New England sister?, still refused tri se cede; rfnd only when the treacherous attempt nf the Federal Government to reinforce the fort ir had promised to evacuate, ami surprise Charleston with an armed fleet, precipitated the reluctant sections into war, and when Mr. Lincoln forced upon her the choice'net ween lighting for Southern freedom and State rights, or Northern ascendency and Federal despotism, dicTslie throw in her lot with, the Conledi-rates! Slavery then was" not .her determining motive. Slavery made no appearance in the private letters of the men who, one after an other, went with their States. It is a remarkable fact, that while scores of leading Northern men denounced the war, not a single Southerner of high.character,, education and influ ence deserted the cause of the South. They universally held tJiat their al legiance was due to their native Sta tes; and?n- th ?t ground alone they threw up career, fortune, fame, and placed ? themselves at the disposal ot those who claimed their fealty. It is ab surd to call such men rebels; they were loyalists to all that they had been taught co obey, to all th?'prin ciples recognized, up to that? moment, by three Americans in four. To Gen eral Lee the Federal service 'offered everything that ambition could de siie. He was its foremost man; he was the favorite of General Scott ; he might have had the chief command ss' the price of treason to Virginia. His feelings were divided; his inter ests were on the Federal side ; ?but as his"letters now published show, ho was convinced thai his dufy was to Virginia, .tod he decided accordingly: Wim him went "Stonewall Jackson, the two Johnstons, and every South ern soldier in high* or low command. The cause so espoused, njid by such men, cannot have been what English KautSrs and Radical's call it. Good or bad ni esse.nce, it-was v) strong in apparent justice that not one man of character und weight u'h?se . allegi ance it pretended JQ .claim declir.*! to support-it. Its failure had nothing to do v;;t,h its alleged demerits. The South waa crushed by weight, not broken by weakness.
