BE A WOMAN. Oi't I've heard a gentle mother, As the twilight hours began, Pleading with a son, on duty, L'rgjng him to be a man. liut unto her blue-eyed daughter, Though with love's words rjuitc as ready, Points eke out the other duty, "Strive, my dear, to he a lady." AVhat's a lady ? la ' something Made of hoops, and silks, and airs, Used to decorate the parlor, Like the fancy rugs and chairs ? Is it one that wastes on novels Every feeling that is human ? If 'tis this to he a lady, 'Tis not this to be a woman. Mother, then, unto your daughter .Speak of something higher far, Than to be mere fashion's lady, 'Woman" is the brightest star If ye, in your strong affection, Urge your son to be a true man, Urge your daughter no less strongly, To raise up and be a woman. Yos, a woman brightest model Of thai light and peifect beauty, Where the mind, and soul, and body, Blend to work out life's great duty Be a woman naught is higher On the gilded list of lame, On the catalogue of virtue There's no brighter, holier name. lie a woman on to duty, Haise the world from all that's low, Place high in the social heaven Virtue's fair and radiant bow. Lend thy influence to eaeh effort That shall raise our nature human, lie not fashion's gilded lady, He a brave, true-hearted woman. PERFORMANCE OF DUTY. Translated from the Italian. No man can drive from his mind the idea of duty; he cannot avoid feeling the importance of this idea. Duty is inevitably tied up in our being; our conscience tells us this, as soon as we have hardly attained the use of our reason; and the more reason develops itself, the more do we feel the importance of duty. All, and everything around ami about us, brings it to our minds, because all is governed by a harmonious and eternal law; everything has a destination, that of showing the wisdom and executing the wiil of that being who is the beginning and tue end of all things. Man, consequently, likewise, has a destination, a nature. lie wants to be what he should be, lest he be esteemed neither by others, nor by himself sod be not happy. This nature of man lias to aspire at felicity, to comprehend and to prove, that, in order to attain this, he must be good, to wit: he must be what is required for our real welfare, according to the system of the universe, according to the views of tlod. If, in the heat of passion, we were tempted to call our welfare that which is opposed to the welfare of others or to the existing order of things, we, nevertheless leel our wrong; conscience will cry out: uyou forgot yourselves, your duty," and as soon as passion is abated, we will shudder at our opposition to the weltare of others only for tsclf-intercst. The fulfillment of our duty is so essential to our well-being that even pain and death, which appear to us, the worst that can befall us, change into pleasure for the generous soul when convinced that he by them can be useful to his fellow-nien, or when he knows that it was by the decrees of the Almighty that he had to suffer either of them. To be what we should be, is, therefore, the definition of duty, and at once that of felicity. Religion illustrates, in a sublime way, this truth, by saying that man is made after the image of (tod. Man's duty and felicity are to be that image, not to desire to be anything else; to be good, because God is good, and because he has destined him to raise himself to all virtues and to bccunic one of him. "VANITY in DbE8S. We have sometimes hesi tated whether to call vanity in dress a sin or a sign. We a ill explain our meaning by an anec dote. Some young ladies feeling themselves aggrieved by the severity with which their friends animadverted on their gay plumes, necklaces, flounces, &C., went to their pastor to learn his opin ion. 'Do you think,' said they, 'that there can be any impropriety in our wearing these things?1 MBy no means." was the prompt reply. "When the heart is full of ridiculous notions it is perfect ly proper to hang out a sign." ftcrv We have been lately refreshing our memory on the production off ;ishington Irving. His description of maternal love, is so touching and eloquent, that we cannot refrain from quoting it: '(fit ! there is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother to a son, that transcends all other affection of the heart. It is neither to be chilled by selfishness, nor daunted by danger, nor weakened by worthlessness, nor stifled by ingrati tude. She will sacrifice every comfort to his convenience; she will surrender every pleasure to h is enjoyment; she will glory in his lame, and exult in bis prosperity; and if misfortune overtake him, he will be dearer to her from his misfortunes; and if dir-grace settle on his name she will still love and cherish him in spite of his disgrace; and if all the world beside cast him off, she will be all the world to him." ' GOOD, A man having a large family found it rather hard to keep up the table, and has adopted tin following plan : At evening ju.-t before supper, he calls his children round him and addresses them thus : "Who'll take a cent and do without his supper?' "1! I! I!" exclaim the children to get the prize. The old man pulls out a p.ocket-book full of red cents which he keeps for the occasion, and after giving them one apiece, sends them off to bed. Next morning they look like starved Arabs. The old man calls them around him and with an air of gravity asks "Who'll give a cent to have a nice warm bis cuit for breakfast V It is needless to say the cents were forthcom ing, (ioij plrtll." ia - p Staoofms i Horses. Miles Saunders, Esq , sends to the Pulaski Times the following remedy for the cure of staggers in horses : Bleed the horse copiously in the large veins inside the thighs (and never in the neck). Fill both ears with spirits turpentine, and cord them well; wet the head all round with turpentine, and wet them well back of the shoulders and in the flanks; squirt a small quantity of turpentina up each nostril, and smoke them well with rags or cotton. I have never known the above remedies to fail when attended to in time. Whv is fish peddling, morally considered, an objectionable business : Because one sells what he knows has been "hooked." (I kntility is neither in birth, wealth, manner, nor fashion but in the mind. A high sense ot honor, a determination never to take a mean ad vantage of another, an adherence to truth, deli cacy, politeness towards those with whom we have dealings, are its essential characteristics. $Se& An old settler out West who was elected justice of the peace, couldn't raise enough to pay an officer for swearing him in; so he stood befure a looking-glass and qualified himself. A jockey at New market asked a Yankee if they had any such swift horses in America. 'Swift!' said Johnathan, 'why, I guess we have. I've saw a horse at Baltimore on a sunny day start against his own shadow, and beat it a quarter of a mile at the first heat.' Where's the Showman ? A man passed through the city yesterday, who had yWf-fathers!! Pretty Good. "Mother, why does Pa call you honey '!" "Because, my dear; he loves me." "No r "What is it, then ?" "I know." W1I what is it?" . . , "Why it's because you have so much comb in your head that's why." You had better take for business a man some what absurd, than over formal. FRANKLIN ACADEMY. CONCORD, X. C.
