April 10, 51?tf \ . - LITERARY WOMEN. Because tho good Fathor has bestowed upon a woman the gift of "expressing beautiful thoughts in graceful words," is it proof Ho has kept from hor tho power of being and- doing all things else ? It would seem so, from tho oft-repoaled romarks we bear of literary womon, as wives, mothers, and jousckccpers. . Because out of tho depths of her soul thero gu&h words that lovers, husbands, and gives quo to as tho fondest, | docpest expression of their own alloc- J lion, sho ja voted incapiihlo of lining very much. Because of Lho tonderiicbs of her heart, sho can fold in words of music that mothers all over the land 6ing to their little children lor a lullaby, she id deomed unfittud for matornity. Beeauso her hand can wield tho pon, it id thought to bo uselens with tho needle. In fact, bccauso i sho has "cuius enough to write a song, j an essay, or a book, it is sufficient proof with many, that sho cannot ' know enough to keep a room in order, j cook a dinner, or oven glvo directions i to a servant; and f?.-r this reason, "alio ought not to marry." If this wore true, if God, when lie plaocB this ono gift in the hands of women, makes her a dunco in everything elso, then tho ouj'htnot f o bring upon boreelf duties which the has no power to meet. But let us know first if it bo true. One Buys, "My own ob Bervalion has confirmed this judgment. A literary woman onco invited mo to visit her. Tho invitation was accepted, and upon entering her house tho most disagveoublo confusion met my astonished gazo." Tho (|iiestioii was then settled. Jiut my deur friend I bog you to think if you never saw a house in confusion, whoso keeper was not literary '{ 1 doubt not that if this womau had never written a Tine in her life, her house would have looked juBt as badly? \rou said, "It is bccauBo eho is literary/' and not as yoa Bhonld have said, "It is because sho is an ui?i t:.dy woman," just as ptoplo aro ilwa3*s ready to remark, whon a step raomer commas an ouirago in ine training of a Child, "It is because she is a step-mother," and not aa it should bo, '*lt is becauso she is an unkind woman." Facts have shown that an own child will bo treated cruelly when the mother is a bad woman, and genius and untidiness are not necessarily , found together, any more than stejv H mothers and cruelty. q If my pastor should appear in bis dobk on Sunday mOrnings with hair uncombed and face unwashed, ? should never think of attributing hit} singu tar appearance to his profession ; neither should I ufftxHn that all ministers wont to church in the tame condition. Anolhor instance is quoted : "I Qncc ~ culled upon a friend, and found hci * sick, suffering through need of care while her daughter was busily engag ed in writing." Aud so tbo cruel sel i nsuncsB una Heartless neglect ol lint igirl i'orm the standard by which yon |J jadgo all literary women. Wbatevei ahe wrote, God knows that .if had nc Housing in il for any one, because six t lacked tho very goodness which is tlx j[ koy to all puro and noblo thonghtp " Bo assured that tho women who hav< written truest and best bavo beei J. those who have lived traest lives, wh< have been most loyal to every duty en and though the pen at times has liai to wait, liavo found it to be the ver discipline needed to mature and purj fy thought, and have found, too, ii - the cares and duties love has laid up on them, the springs of holiofit inspi ration. It' :t be true that the greater lov w'? for heautv and linrmnnr n. wnmn.n hn j la her soul; tho more disorderly he ice j houBo will be, and tho raoru phabbil l,i*; eho will drees; ttnd tho greater po.we be jsho has to write words that will roos ; all tbe tehd.er feelings of others, tli f more hcartleBB she will bo, it id big ? ! time that pootry wore crushed out c itho hearts of womot), that every on who has felt its divine preeenceshoul stifle tho cry of her soul, "Woo,is rt if L preach not the word God is spoal iog to me," lay down bei^pon and I'm t a life of mockery. Many persons have the idea thi 'whin a woman writes at all, her who time is devoted to it, atid that ever thing else must be neglected. Wh has been only incidental is often ti koo is the measure ol a woman's lil nle<l WOr^ >n * Ball Fanny Forrcrfter, "People ta about my writing as though that we ft the o^ly. thing I ever did.

And Mrs. llemans, through years , of toil and poverty, forgetting nono of her datie?, nogloeting nothing for the comfort of hor littlo boys, herself their teacher, was singing tho sweet songs that havo lifted the burden from | many a sick heart oppiessed liko hor own. Tho composition of tho beautiful song, that has brought to so luuny sweet thoughts of tho dear ones gone, ' Over the liiver," was 110 interruption to a day's labor. 1- is to havo been wrilicn hastily, during an interuiission of woik, at tho Lowell Factory. Many a young girl, prompted by duty and unselfish lovo for father, mother, brother, sister, or friond, toiling in oncrou.s work from day today, and in an occasional sparo hour coining in words tho pure thoughts, aspirations, and yearnings of her hoart, i ! has had cotuo back to her, with prui Res of her genius, the assurance tlmt i a litorary woman cau know nothing ! of the duties which she has so well I performed, that although sho might in j i time be able, hy a half day'd or an j evening's writing, to earn money enough to pay a kitchen girl a month's wages, sho could not possibly have the inclination or tho brains to loll that; kitchch girl what to do, that should | ahe so iar forgot hefoelf as to marry,; her husband would die of starvation, and her children cease to know that i UtiTT litlil o rn."kt 1ia?* T n c 11 /-k ? f tl?n?

It in doubtless truo, that thoro aro literary womeu who neglect duties which they havo voluntarily taken ; upon themselvos, who make bad. wives, bad mothers, and bad housekeepers; who had hotter never have married; but it is equally true, that thoro is juut as great a proportion of those who aro not literary, who come under the same head, and I do protest aguinst every fault in a literary .woman's lifo being laid to the fact that she is a writer, leaving the inference clear that all other women are embodiments of nerfection. haeauaa thnv ar? not writers. A woman to bo an efficient housekeeper is not obliged to wash, scrub, bake, and-do a'l the drudgery witb her own hands, and if sbo has tho powor to furnish the money for which 1 othors will do it, instead of drawing it from tho slender purse of a husband, I and at tho Fftmo timo bless humanity with good and noble thoughts, 1 can not seo why it is not a fortunate thing. 1 And bccauso she has this power, I deny that she cannot have the ability to superintend tho affairs of a household > and wiil not find that tho timo to ox' ercise it?that because she can write > well, she cannot love well, and loving well, she will do tho best thing she * can for thoso whom she loves. * I cannot think that Mib.

"Well you aro a naughty, carelcs*, troublesome little thing, always in some mischief; go up Btairs, | una stay in iuo closet until 1 Bond lor you." And this was a Christian mother's answor to the tearful little culprit who had Btruggled with and conquered the temptation to tell a falsehood to screen her fault. With a disappointed, disheartened look, the sweet child o.beyed; and at that moment was crushed in her little heart the sweet flower of truth, perhaps never again in after years to revive to life.

FARMERS' CLUBS. | A writer cited in the Southtm Plan ter and Farmer, remarks that Farmer* scattered ovor tho couutry, occupy themselves too constantly with physical labor. "Too much muscular exerciso wearics'tho bodies and indisposes tbe mind to exertion. The Farmer hus too long regarded his calling as a physical mission, requ:r>ng littlo or no ctfort of tho mindj. but a constant tension of the muscle. Anything which should induce them to congregate together socially would bo a' great blessing, but still more so, when this meeting is for tbe purpose of comparing notes upon their occupation. nil i-- - 1 * - *v numu Burpnw m uoay oi f ar* mere who has never tried it, to find how much knowledge could be gained apon almost any subject bonnocted with agriculture, from twenty-live average Farmers, who should each contribute the facta be knew relating to it. Perhaps, no one of the twenty-five would be able to give more than a few facts concerning the topio yet when oacb had contributed what he knew, the subjuct might bo thorouughly elucidated and easily understock, When they come togothor uo one fully understands the subject, but when tbe discussi&n is over every ono might carry away a full knowledge of itl . And this leads us to speak of tbo proper method of conducting the Farmers' Clubs. First, there should be as little formality and as few rules as possible, consistent with good order. Soleot a man of prompt decision and J a few words of chairman, and the most ready writer as* secretary. Avoid set speeches and prepared dissertations. You oorae ?together to communicate facts aud not to display rhetoric. It should be a meeting for a free and informal intorchango of ideas in thoconvoraational way. This will bo found much bettor and raoro profitable than debate. Yoa cannot well debate a question without tho disputants becoming interesting for 1 triumph in argument?tor tho success ' of a side?and this is not tho object in discussion. Tho object should bo g?in bnoWedge, to accnmnlnto facts on which to base a right decision | anti not 10 uispiay uoiliiy in argu' ment, to tho triumph iu disputation. 1 Suppose tbc question were the ''boat lime to out wheat?" It is obvious ) that well-attested experiments bearing upon this subjeot would bo neooa? * sary to detorinino it, Every one who 5 could give any fact showing Iho cft'oct 1 of cutting whoat at a peculiar Btago i of growth would nssHt in ducidatinjpj it.
