JU saan walkt ?root, beari og upon his ?rontleta the. eignet of duly, himself, ia the noblest and meet comma ndi og, ad woman ia th? moat beautiful and attraot ire of being the terrestrial upireme. Ip all the ifirriog seines of fife, woman is th fi most nervously sensitive; when Joy. in vites, the first to smile ; when sorrow coules, tb? first to weep; and th? trite but true sating, that ?be was- last ak tho oross-?nd first at the sepulchre, is bot au exemplification of har charac? ter. Woman is the first to befriend, and the lasttofbrBake,euibellishing the path way of life bj her presence and irradi?t ing the darkness of the world, she ts the only real support and true consola? tion ot the rougher aex in the perplex? ing earea and onerous responsibilities' of existence. She is the soul of delicate sensibility, the embodiment of cultiv?t" ed grace, the essence of adivine char? ity ; grace in all her movements, Heaven in her eye, and all her geaturos dignity and love. Uer mission is a sublime and peculiar one. She is not expected nor was it the object of ber creation lo govern empires as Semiramiu, or to com maud armies, like Joan of Arc, but her mission ia accomplished in the peaceful and quiet walka of private and domestic life, where, veiled from the disturbing elements of National strife, and pro? tected from the ruder drudgery of la borioua Hie, by her sterner companion, she disseminates those enuobling virtue of kindness, forbearanoe, and Christian charity, that everywhere adorn and beautify society. lier's is the work of moulding the plastic materials of youth und iufanoy into proportions of form and beauty. The canvass has occasionally glowed with the touches of her penoil and brush, and tho "marble been made to speak" with her chisel and genius, yet her mis* siou is not to work upon wood or marble, but upon the mind. She seizes it in thc first dawnings of intelligence and reason and infuses into it its first knowledge of things, and its first impressions of beau? ty. She gives by ber teachings and her assiduous attention and kindness tho impress of future character, intel? lectually, and morally. She dovolopcs and fashions the individual man, and thus controls, regulates and governs the. world, by a power behind tho throne greater than the throne itself. She is the partner ot man, dividing his Borrows aud heightening his joys, dinging to him as the forest vine entwines the sturdy oak, in prosperity, and drooping over him tenderly as the weeping wil? low in his afflictions, spreading flowers, and dispersing gloom all along tho jour? ney of mortal life, aud smoothing ut lust the pillow of death. She is the di vine Peri, the guarinn angel of this world, that shields from thc harm and hardness of life, and finally opens tho gates of paradise, bearing in her sacred palms the consecrated tear of penitence. NEW VEGETABLE FIBRES. Among the recently-discovered vege? table fibres, useful in the manufacture of cloth of various kinds, may be men - liooed those of the China grass and the Ramie, both of them species belonging to the nettle family and to thc genna Boehmeria. Tho China gi ass, when prepared, is of a brilliant snow-white oolor, and of a remarkable fineness of fibre. Like thc fibres of cotton, those of the China grass are single cells, some of which attain a length of eight inches, those of flax being at most only four. The Ramie is of still greater value in the arts, and is now extensively cultiva? ted in the warmer portions of the Uni? ted States, principally from seeds distri? buted by the Agricultural Department. This plant has been grown from time immemorial by the native of the Indian Archipelago, and from the peculiarly waterproof nature of its fibres is used largely in the manufacture of nets. The plant is perennial and easily propagated by settings, yielding throe or four har? vests annually. The crop is about a thousand pounds fibre per aero, of which about half is textile material, furnish? ing a silky, lustrous thread ; longer than that of cotton. This is spun, mixed with either wool or eotton, and can indeed be worked by itself, in which case it has the appearance of Lyons silk. - There is, perhaps, no fruit more useful and more wholesome than the apple. Every housekeeper should lay ia a good supply of apples, as it is thc most economical investment in thc whole range of oulinarirs. A raw, mellow apple is digested in an hour und a half. - A more healthy desert cannot bo placed on tho table than baked apples If eaten at breakfast, with coarse bread and butter, they havo a good effect on tho general system. TnE Pennsylvania State Teachers' Association will hold its annual con? vention at Lancaster. Tho session will extend from the Oih to the 12th proxi? mo. These State reunions are always occasions of social enjoyment and pro? fession*!-profit. It is desirable that as targe a proportion ot our educators should be present as possible, to add to qho valuo of the deliberations, to con jributc suggestions to bo applied in prao tioo, and to bo in turn toned up in zeal bo become better instructors than ever tofore. - The pr?sent Pope of Roms ha? entered upon the twenty fifth year of his pontificate. During thc long series of 269 popes, no one has oocupiel the papal chair twentyfivo years. The nearest approoch was that of Pius VI , who reigned twenty four years six months and fourteen days. - Addison says: "Though wo seem grieved at the shortness of life iu general, wc arc wishing every period of it at an end. The minor longs to be ot age, and thon to bo a man of business ; then to take up an estate ; to attain to honors,and then finally to retiro." TUB ?*AX*a ?a?
