tIAE STRONG POINT
ABOUT WOMEN.
.,We folect from the Richmond
RAquirer an article entitled as
MAbovo, which should command an
attentive perusal, because of Its
-oxceoding candor, strength of
th.ought, beauty of exprossion and
Inorat truth. The Eiaqiirer says:
W hother ambition is, upon the
higlst othical grounds, a justifi
Iiblo sentiment, his been affirmed
and. denied. Milton denominatea
1t "ile -last Infirmity of noble
Amind." The.ancients never ques
tioned its legitimacy as a princi.
ple of action. Sponsor speaks of
the "sacred huncger of ambitious
ninds." Shakspear M1aCes Vol.
sey say, "By that sin fbil the an
gels'-and mal<es Brutus charge
jib against Ctemar as a crime that
die was "ambitious." ' Sir W. Da
anant finely says, "Ambitinn is
the mind's immodesty." Otway
sayo, "Ambition is a lust that is
tieror qitenched." Milton's Satan
avows that
"T.o' regi Is worth ambition-though in

went seven devils, and Joanna, the
wife of'Chuza, Herod'a steward, and
Susanna, and many others, which

This article ias 1riting less than
an artful appeal to the passions -
and prejudices of the colored
people. It tells them that they r
are a peaceful and lawfabiding
class, but it reminds fthem that
"there isn otadt'opoteoward'sblood
in the veins of the South Carohna t
negro." Nor does Cain stop hore.
With patient art .he taunts and b
roviles the Georgia gentlemen
w)ho are now our guests. Cain tells
these "rowdies".1 I I that "when- a
ever the Georgians want to test
their mettle, they can find fifty
thousand (negroes) in this State
who will gratify their ambition
for a riot in five minutes." Again, 8
he says that the negroes "are
ready at almost any time to grati- a
fy. those who are anxious for a
fray." It is ti-ue that Cain pats
the white citizens of Cha leston
on the back arid damns them with
faint praise. But in sneering at
our guests, in abusing our friends,
Cain insults every white man who
Appreciates the laws of hospitality'
and dishonors, as well as lie can, ev- t

it inay be thought that these
are idle words of the negro Cain.

vivid recollection of the conduct r

they did so, and thrtet her, her

James seized a bit of board and

they described it afterwards 'the

while they Were all occupying the

POPULAR IRREVERENCE.
One noods.only glunceo through
the periodicidd and papers of cur

sacred themes and subjects with
levity, and often with sheer irreve
ronce, is popular.-Hardly can one
find a sheet of public print in
which will not be wounded he
fo1ina of a true, devout, humble
worshiper of God, who holds oa
cred and abovo all trifling whatever
is involved in lis being and service.
Is not this a matter of more than
more regret? Is it not a disgraco

tion, and pregnant with foresha.
dowings of the ultimate visitation
of the deserved punishment of
offended Deity ?
As a people we boast ofour Chris
tianity. Our progress in refine
ment of lifb, and our releaso from
degrading ignorance and supersti
tion, we justly ascribe to the
possession of the Bible, and the
tavor of the Infinite Creator there
in revealed; yet do we, with a
star:tling deliberation and vicious
malignity, hold up to ridicule the
source of our great good, and
strive to pollute the fountain
whence flow the blessing in which
we revel. What inconsistency,
and how odiousthis irrevereneel
In this, a national fitult, wo are all
verily guilty.-From high and
low we hear the proine jost, the
wanton use of Holy Writ for the
purposes of sport, and sacred
names in associations ofdefiloment.
The printed sheet but panders to
the vicious tastes and sinful rock
lessness abroad in the commui
ties.
Where shall a reform commence ?
Seeing that, as a class, members of
Christian ch urches do not condemn
these practices as they ought, a
dark, forbidding prospect obtrudes
upon our vision. Still, we believe
many need only to have their at
tontion called to the pirevalence of
the evil to induce them to form
alliantie wvith its oppressors. As
the~ great, potential instrument
for good or Ill, the press, should
lend its aid in helping to undo the
mischief which, with a show of ex
cuse, it has helped to accompliish.
We know that those who direct
the journals of the day desire the
public weal, and, as a rule, would
gladly contribute to the estab.
lishment and maintenance of good
morals, purity of life, and reverence
toward God. Do we err, then, in
first of all askcing t,hat they shall
carefully guard their columns from
the intrusions of jests and articles
which have a tendeney to make
common the name and attributes
of Deity, the word and doctrine of
Holy Scripture, and the faith and
practice of the earnest Christian ?
Young minds, espeially, feel the
influence of such things, and often
gain a fatal bias from a randon
thrust,aImed with cutting sarcasm,
at Qbjects which erst they woreo
tanghit to reverence. We lay no
heavier blame upon the press, foi
the- evil mentioned, than attaohes
to all who' olaim to be our gobd
and worthy bitisong. Censore "ta

M E'S CLoTns.-Not long aince a young
nman was taken dangerously ill in New
York at night. le was alone with his
sister an( she was obliged to go after
12 o'clock for a physician. She trembled
at the thought, and her brother resolved
again and ngain to bear the pain until
morning, but at last they felt she must
go. The happy thought suggested it
self to put oi her brother's clothes and
take his loaded pistol. The result was
that she brought back the physician,
and he never knew until he reached the
houso and she told him, that she was a
woman. She said she had such a feeling
of independence and safety as Ohe
