I look back-with delightHai-yoorremirks
ssid be "are quite true; let me tall yon a
hule tncident which' bears uporr uie point:
Last summer. 1 had a girl who wa eiceed
ingly behind in all her studies. She ws
at lh loot of Hie division, and seemed lo
care but little for her book. It so bap
pened, that a a relaxation, I let them at
limes during school hours unite in singing,
I noticed thal-tbi girl had - remarkable
clear, street voice; and I said to her, "Jane.
ou have a food voice, and you may lead
in thejinging-". .She brightened Bp,' and
Irom that time her mind seemed to be very
active; Her lessons were attended lo, and
she son gained a hih rank. : On dsy a

school compan on. "Well Jan," said I,
"yon are gelling along very well, how hap

know why it iM he , replied.. "I know
what she told m th other day,' aid her
companion. '
"And what wa thaitw t ask4. ' 1
' "Why she said, sh was encouraged.
Yes, here we have it she wa encour
aged. She felt the wss not ' dull in every
thing, had learned self-rsspoct, and thus
slie wa, eniouraged- . '
Some twelve er thirteen years ago, there
was in Fmnklin school an crdiniily dull
boy. On day I be teacher wiebiog to look
out a word, took np the lad' dictionary,
and on opening it, found the blank leave
rorercd with drawing. He called the boy
to him.
Did yon tlnw theae!" aaid the teacher,
"Yea lir, said ilie bor. with a downcast
ion:.
- '
I do not think It is well lor boys to
draw in their books," said the teacher,
"nml I would mb these out if I were, you:
but the? are we I done: did vou srer take

No sir," said the boy, his eyes spark,
line.
'Well. 1 think von Lava a talent for this
tning when you are at leisure, at home,
ana Dnnr it to me. In the meantime aee
how well you can recite your lessons."
The next morn.hg the boy' brought -t

of old masters, sent hum productions frmn

now one of the most pi omising artists of

gained the medal, he aent lh teacher a
beautiful picture as a token of respect; and
while h was sn engraver, the teacher re

THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN. ,
; There Is an evident diaposilioa throoghbut
the Union In abolish those abaurd and un
just restriction which Ibe common law
imposes upon the equitable rights of married
women in their property. To quote a
m hater spirit of legislation, "it It not right
to make the man a tyrant, and to reduce to
passive state of slavery the sex which, by
it feebleness and it tenderness, most need
the protection of the lew. The interest
of womn have been toe often sacrificed.
The rotes of Marriage are a code of violence!
the man rereives the lion'e ahar.' For
year the attention of the most enlightened
American legislator . has been directed to
this subject Jut lh age wa too Jcr behind
the movement proposed, to anabl I hem to
accomplish much. Light is, bowevsr,
giaduaily penetrating the darkest recesses
of the publie mind, and, during the course
ef this winter, several ' of th Legislainres
of the Union have passed laws to protect
the rights of women, .. .. . .. ,i.,. t
In Ohio, the subject has been warmly
discussed, and th Legislature have had
under consideration a bill enlarging the
powers of married women. t
In Kentucky, the privilege of married
women bars been f really increased. Sieve
property is to be placed in the ssme cat
egorr with real, ami ia trot to be liable to
the debts of the husbsnd. during coverture.
"Nor." to use th words of lh law, "shnll
the life ratals of the husband, hi wife liv.
ing, be levied on, executed, or told for hi
debt or liabilities."
Alt otig h w have not th data before us,
w believe 'that ihe law in Alabama, also,
baa been materially amended, in this res
pect. "
The tiins cannot anrely, b far distant,
when the hw of the whole Union will res
pect wonisn equsur wiui man. It is a
hi married, the right ef disposing of her
own property; and, holding these vietta,
we are glad to see that a bill has been re-

males to hold and convey foal estate

er I disparaging aspect, in point of numer
ical strength; it shows, loo, that the number
of guns afloat, as compared with our com
merce, is much less than that of anv other
of the great commercial countries of the

Britain ha kept pace with the increase of
her commerce, oura has been exactly the

rapidity unexampled, but our nave has
lagged in a manner which It ie .difficult to
account for., , ?.
