Death 1 the deliverer, who reaedtf. man 1 Death! the re warder, who the meued crown.." It is well occasionally to review the doings of mis great leveller or the bnman race, were it only to mark his impartiality If ever he teas partial, it has been in recent times to public functionaries of I the United States, the frequency-of death in high places of late is remarkable. To say nothing of the long list of official men, whose dust is now with the long line of low monuments in the Con. gressional bufiul ground, within 4he past twif or three years, the fatal wind of the great disehchanter has touched many of the sons of ambition and of fame, and turned them to lifeleaclay. If this article should meet ihe eye of any of this class, let it not be passed too lightly over, since they are in the shambles and will soon have to go the same way. A little while'sioce, Rogers sat at the head of the Navy Board and was enrolled at the head of the Navy List. His name has been transferred to the roll of Death, and. the hardy sailor has cast his last anchor in the grave. He sleeps among the brave, the fair, the eloquent and the wise as they m hwy were. In the same neighoornooa lies i ingey, wno for many years served under the government of his country. After sailing many years over the sea of life, sometimes in sunshine, sometimes in the tempest, he too made fast near his comrade. Not far was he carried from his command at ihe Navy Yard to his lowly bed in the earthr " Earth to earth dust to dust." Next follwed Stevens, strtjek down from the name -station by the uncon auerable foe, the conqueror of al, who 'nover strikes his flag to the boldest and thb bravest. At night Stevens was in the midst of apparent health. In the morning, the spirit had departed ! It wag a time'of sudden death amone public men. He was joined unto the congregation of the dead. It was not long beiore Patterson lottowea ua mat was brave and troublesome to the foe- of New Orleans; reioicinff in the common victory over the armed myrmidons of England, could not maintain the conflict with the old enemy, equally expert and dreadful on the land and on the sea. He struck his nnlors and was conveved to the silent companion. ship of the Commodores and Generals, whom the Spoiler has delivered over to the guardianship of the grave. . V Mow aieep me Drave, woo w w 'i, By all their country', wuhe. blest ! Rut if the ower of arms does not avail with this foe, still less does he yield to the force of argu. monta nr thn plnnnence of BDDeals. If the warrior must lav his laurels at his feet, the statesman and civilian cannot be expected to do less. On the 4lh of July, 1842, Samuel L. Southard, acung as v ice President of the United States, and Francis S.

Shall not this nation seawall this the hand of Providence ? . .. I. N. D. Female JLnbor, Miss Beecher, in the excellent treaties on." Do. mestia Economy," sayi much in favor of domestic education. . The following extract may be read with profit : - " The last method suggested for lessoning the evils peculiar to American women, is a decided ef fort to oppose the aristocratic feeling that labor is degrading ; and to bring about the impression that it is refined and lady.like to engage in domestic pursuits. .' In past ages, 'and In aristocratic Coun tries, leisure and indolence and frivolous pursuits have been deemed lady.like, and the refined coun tenanced such an opinion. But whenever ladies of refinement, as a general custom, patronize domes tic pursuits7then these employments will be deem edj. lady.like. It may be urged, however, that it is impossible for a woman who cookSfc washes or sweeps, to appear in the dress, or acquire the ha bits and manners of a lady ; that the drudgory of the kitchen is dirty work, and that no one can ap pear delicate and refined while engaged in it. Now all this depends on. circumstanced. If a worrian has a house, destitute of neat and convenient facili ties; if she has no habits of order andsystem; if she is remiss and careless in person and dress; then all this may be true. But if a woman will make some sac. !fices of cosily ornaments in her parlor, in order to make her kitchen noat and taste ful; if sho will sacrifice expensive dishes In order to secure such conveniences for labor as protect from exposures; if she will take pains to have the dresses in which she works made of suitable mate rials and in good taste; If she will rise early,' and systemise and oversee the works of herfumily,so ns to have it done thoroughly, neatly, and in the early part of the day f she will find no necessity for any such apprehension. ' - It is because such work has generally been dune by vulgar people, and in a vulgar manner, that we have such associations, and when ladies manage such things as ladies should, then such associations will be removed. There are pursuits deemed very refined and genteel which involve quite as much exposure as kitchen employments. For example, to draw a lame landscape in colored crayons, Urould be deemed very lady-like, but the writer can testify, from sad experience, that no cooKing, washing, sweeping, or any other domestic duly, ever left' such deplorable traces on hands, facesj and dress, as this same lady.like pursuit. Such things depend entirely on custom and associations ; and every American woman, who values the insti tutions of her country and wishes to lend her influ Anna In ovtAtulina and nemetuatina such blessings, may feel that she is doing thiatowhenever.bv her example and influence she destroys the aristocrats association which would render domestic labor do- grading." ......
