Don't go to the theatre, lecture or ball. But stay in your room to-night: Deny yourself to the friends that call, And a good, long letter write Write to the sad olu folks at home. Who sit when the day is done, With folded hands and downcast eyes, And think of the absent one. Don't selfishly scribble "Excuse my haste. I've scarcely time to write," Lest their brooding thoughts go wander ing back To many a by-gone night, When they lost their needed sleep and rest, And every breath was a prayer That God would leave their delicate babe To their tender lov e and care. Don't let them feel that you've no more need Of their love and counsel wise; i For the heart is strangely sensitive When age has dimmed the eyes : It might be well to let them believe You never forgot them quite That you deem it a pleasure when far away Long letters home to write. Don't think that the young and giddy friends, Who make your pastime gay, Have half the anxious thoughts for you That the old lolks have to-day. The duty of writing do not put off; Let sleep or pleasure wiit, Lest the letter for which they looked and longed Be a day or an hour too late. For the sad old folks at home. With locks fast turning white, Are longing to hear of the absent one Write them a letter to-night. WHAT HAS NORTH CAROLINA DONE FOR THE EDUCATION OK FEMALES (Read in N. C. Baptist State Convention ) The Woman's Cause is Han's." j The prediction of the Princess "And Solomon may come to Sheba. i yet," has not yet been verified; nor is it o man s interest or to woman s that it should be. "Could we make her as the man, ! Sweet love were slain ; his dearest bond is this, Not like to like, but like in difference." He has his appropriate sphere, she iiers ; his the outer, hers the inner, both concentric : his the major axis of an ellipse, hers the minor the less the difference, the less its eccen tricity : his and hers the co-ordinate as mptotesofan hyperbola,npproach- ing yet never reaching equal curves of mutual sympathy : variable func tions reaching the constant only at an infinite distance: two electric fluids possessed of properties essen tially different, yet in thei norrral -.tate harmoniously blended in con cordant though not permanent equi- I brium : two unequal halves ; his the greater, hers the less in mind : lirs the greater, his the less in heart; two component gases of our social atmosphere, of properties though di verse yet mutually tending by their correlation to effect the greatest good. "Man for the field, and woman for the hearth ; Man for the sword, and for the needle she : Man with the head, and wsman with the heart ; Man o command, and woraan to obey, All else confusion." To prevent this confusion should be the aim of" the Educator. What has North Carolina done in this direction ? She has established and fostered a University for males none for females. The only provision the State has made for the education of females, is r the irferior and imperfect system of Free-Schools, shared equally by both sexes. It remains, then, to consider what lias been done by private and by de nominational effort. The N. C. Directory reco ds the i.ame and location of 45 Institutions or the education of females eight Colleges, eight Institutes, seven Seminaries, seven Academies and dfteen Schools. This list do s not contain some of receut origin and many not extinct. These forty-five schools aggregate, perhaps, 3000 pupils annually. Adding those in attendance on the other schools of high; and of low -irader not reported, public and private, mixed or exclusively female, we may estimate the whole at 5000 i r i ' -nnifi iHli.i i m i jr. . r i ' Common SCOTLAND a very small proportion of the girls of school-age in the State. There has recently been a demand for "the other or encouraging side of the story." I am not prepared to give it. The well is deep, and I have not wherewith to draw. REMARK- : It has been said, how truly I know not. that North Carolina ranks first, among at least the Southern States, in the devotion of her people to the education of females: and this should be true. of a State whose soil is con secrated by the romantic birth and tragic death of Virginia Dare, the first child born of English parents on American soil. It has also been computed that while four million dollars have been invested in the South for tiie educa tion of males, only eighty-seven thousand have been expended in the education of females, and yet there are more girls than boys. If this unequal expenditure, 50 to 1 nearly, for the education of the sexes be true, North Carolina might claim superiority over her sister States, at small cost, as it would re quire no sivift hare to gain the vic tory in this race of the tortoises. It may, perhaps, be said, that we spend much more at home on our girls than on our boys, to fit them for consummating what they are fre- quently taught, and not slow to be- l eve. is the chief end and object of their existence marriage. Marriage u ! I" its proper time aim puice, but do not let us teach or encourage the young to anticipate a pradent period or wise preparation. If young men are satisfied with gaudy butterflies for their better- halves, let us constitute ourselves their guardians, and convince taem that a cubic inch of solid gold is worth more than a square yard of gold-leaf.. Our own interests and theirs require it. Woman's influence, whether for good or evil, is potent. History, sacred and urofane. bears testimony to the fact, that families, communi ties, natio i?, have prospered or de clined, in proportion as woraan has been cared for or neglected.

No one questions the veteran Prince Bismarck's genius as a great statesman, or his eminence as a com manding figure in the political drama of the age. He has probably made a deeper impress upon the history of this century even than the first Na poleon. His mastery over events in Europe during the p:if t twelve years has been well-nigh supreme. It was Bismarck who planned the series of brief, brilliant and victori ous wars which brought about Ger- C a man unity, the revival of the German Empiie, and the ascendancy of Prus sia over the other German States, lie thus carried the popularity and power of the royal house of Prussia to a height of which Frederic the Great never dared to dream. Since that great event Bismarck'? influence not only in German, but throughout Europe, has quite overshadowed that a of every other states! lan. How has he used tiie power thus centered in his hands ? In one sense, he has used it to the political well being of the German people. He has worked sturdily to set the new em pire upon a firm basis. He has made a nation so strong and solid that it can defv the hostility of anv or of all Qf its rivals. But on the other hand, it must be con fessed that Bismark has failed to Use his enormous influence for the best interests of the people whom he under the emperor, has so vigorously ruled uismarcK is an aristocrat ana a thoiough partisan of the divine right of kings. His temperameut is de&- potlc haughty and overheating. He believes in strengthening the power of the crown ; not in enlarging the liberties of the people. Through all this period, during which his will has been law in Ger- many, he not only has not enlarged the rights of the German masses, but he has persistently opposed every ef- fort to that en(i" He has borne him- self not as the minister of a consti tutional king, and as the servant of a nation, but as the adviser of an abso- lute monarch. Prussia, the Kingdom which Bis marck has 'ei over the rest of Ger many, has what is called a"constiiu tion." This constitution is supposed to give the people a controlling voice fo ' i in the affairs of the nation. But Bis raarck has again and again shown his contempt for it. If the people sent a Parliament to Berlin which op posed the chancellor's projects, he run sed it to be dissolved, and went on with i,is 8Ci,emes on his own re Lpousibilitv i,llt iesnite this, the popular power i - - - seems to have been growing, and has become formidable even to the haugh ty Bismarck himself. Parliament after Parliament has dared to resist and reject his proposals ; each body being more liberal thin the one which preceded it T'1US thwarted by a torce wmcn ne long despised and ignored, Bismarck said to have now adopted a course of high-handed defiance, of the popu I lar will I 1UIU1C11I . -V I'll v.' i - a body called the "State Council." Its members were named by the king ; and a very large power was intrusted to it. No measure could be introduc ed by any one in Parliament, unless that measure ha 1 alraly been ap pioved by the State Council. The representatives of the people, in a word, had no right to propose bills these appoilltees of tfM king. It winch nut not gain me assent. ji is now reported that Bismarck pui poses already few and narrow liberties; and Bismarck may find that he has gone too far in his dtfian'te of the popular demand for a greater degree of self-government. -Yoatk's Cum-puuion. WEALTH DYNAMITE. The discovery of this and perhaps J even stronger explosives has intro duced a new element of danger into society, and calls for new safeguards. It is true that the a sassiu might in all itges slay. his ietim at more or less risk of his own dfe, and since the discovery of gun-jowder his pow er of dest joying not only life, but buildings. has been greatly increaseu ; nevertheless, mankind got along, in times of peace, with comparatively little molestation from the secret use of such destructive powers. It was in wars that their terrible ravages oc curred. The discovery of dynamite and other similar explosives nas greatly increased the power of de. struction of the sec re foe. and in like measure decreased the danger of Ids defection. It therefore becomes necessary to enact new laws to pro tect life and prop2rty from them. Such a law Britain has been forced to enact in hot haste on aecouut of the imminent danger in which her -public buildings, and in fact whole cities, were placed by the dynamite plots ol irishmen in America and Britain. Tiie manufacture and sale of these powerful explosive., except by licens ed establish ents, is prohibited by the law under severe penalties. The possession of them, unless it can be sho vn that they arc to be used for lawful tin poses, is made a crime sub ject to twenty years' imprisonment, as is the sending of them by mail or by carriers or vessels, except for law ful purposes; and ample authority is given to inspect all suspicious boxes, trunks, t tc, before allowing them to be taken on board ship or permitting them to b" landed. Tue most effect ive clauses of the new law are those which condemn all who in any way conspire in or knowingly aid any plot to blow up buildings, or to as sassinate persons, and this is to take effect on British subjects who con spire abtoad the same if they had .tone so in Britain. This will prevent any British Fe-nia us from taking part in the dynamite plots of their Amer ican brclhercn, and as a consequence Mr. Paiueli, as soou as the law was enacted, announced that he could not attend the- gi t at Irish-American Con VOllI W kit 111 Vb.lsidtliihiai.n the 25lh April. As there ure always plenty of Irish ton.-piiators ready to save themselves and obtain a reward by informing on the others, B.itish sun- jevts who ton-pue in any way abroad to wtige a dy nt.mite war will be in the same danger as if they had done so on British soil, while foreigners going ta Britain for such a i urpose will, of course, be liable to the penal ties of this lw lot whatevei they may do in Britain. ii is likely that most of the govern ments of Europe and colonies wil ad-jpt similar law s with regard to ex plosives, if they have not done so al- a ready ; and that in his way the dan r r from dxnaiuite will be reduced to o rtt . .Ml 1.. ... . .

FULTON'S FIRST TRIP TO ALBANY. The fellow ing is the Mibstance of a staten.ent made to me id out IS3U by the late Captain Wil-on, then of New Noik :.n old sea-captain of wealth, intelligence, and lobity. He said that he w:is wt 11 acquainted with Fulton, and felt great interest in his enterprise. He st od upon the dock when the lines were cast off, and the boat started upon her trial trip. Threre was a great crowd prespnt ; some prophesit d she would blow up; otheis that she would 1 ;ak down : and many that si c would m ver reach Albany. She starttd off against wind and tide, at the rate of al.out three miles an hour, to the great astonish ment of all. Aft i Fuh n's let urn he told Captain Wil on Ui3 following story, in substance: 'I he boat was advertised to leave Albany at 9 o'clock a. m. A shon time before that he ur a well dressed, gentlemanly -lockii.g .man, with a valise in his lumd, c;ane on board, and asked for the captain. Being directed to him, ti e s: ranger said : "You are bound lor New York 'i" He replied -Yes." What will you charge for a pas sage ?" Fulton thought a moment, and said, Ten dollars." Tiie man pai l i and sat down. Fulton found him a verv intelligent and agreeable companion ; and dur ing the ev nicg said to him, "This t n dollars is the first n.omy that I ever received fiom my labor and out lay upon this I oat. and nothing would please ma more than to sit down w itb you. win n we get to New York, and spi nd ii in I aving a good time ; but I can't afford it, my family actually need it."

George Eliot was not a beautiful woman, but she had beautiful hands, one of which was a little widor and plumper than the other. In conver sation with her friends, she would cx dain this peculiarity. It had a pleat ing and honoranle significance. When she was fifteen years ot age, she began (to use her own affecting words) '-to be acquainted with the unspeakable grief of a last parting in the death of her mother." Soon ifter, her elder sister married and re n.oved to a new home, and then her brother Isaac (the Tom of . he Mill on the-Floss") did the same. Being thus L-ft alone with her father, who tarried on a farm and lived in a ruth r large house, she became his house keeper and general assistant. This was her own choice, as her father was in liberal circumstances, and offered ,o hire a competent woin m. He was lotingly fond of his daughter, whom he used to call his ' little wench," using an ancient English word wiiich was still em ploy i-d in remote country places as a term of endearment. The future authoress the first ge 'lius f her age, was no.v initiated into practical life, and labored for oine ye ,rs chiefly whh those beauti ful hands of hers. She was dairy mistress, housekeeper, seamstress, ga den.T's assistant, and occasionally even bore In r part i:i the harvest field without ever quite laying aside her books, and in winter studying hard. She woul I point, in later years, to herbioal right hand, and mention with some pride t hat its breadth bore lestiuiouv to the great number of cheeses and p its of butter she had male and assisied to make in her earlier life. She spent five years in this way before her father gave up hi. farm and oihVe to his son. How much she deiived l'r ru her practical experience no reader of her works lueds to be told. Besides strengthening her mind and givihg her an essential part of education, it supplied her with the raw material of many of th-1 most vivid and lil'e-lika seen, s. Youth' ss Co iipuniuw. Status or Tin; iViiite ani Col ti.i:i Backs ixtiieUmti P states. Fred. Douglas expressed the belief the other day that the negroes, with i i two hundred and fifty years, will "rule the South," and that amalga mation vi ill procved so rapidly that fw blooded nogio. s will be found, in two centuries, i . the South. Prof. Gilliam and the pretentious "Judge" Tourgee are of the same opinion. Canon Itawlinsou. oi Uxtor.!, a lew years ago, advised white Americans to compose t'le negro problem by 1 reedy marrying colored women. Prof. Gardiner, of Albany, says that, "one 1 undied years from to-day, there will be lour blacks to one while" in the Carolinas, Gtorgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louiidtira. His conclusions are that the whites must migrate from the Souti or amalgamate with the blacks, or "forever remain an inferior ele ment and submit to negro suprema cy and uiie." Notwithstanding these views -of Professors Gilliam and Gardiner, "Judge" Tourgee. and Fred. D uglas, we. ure of the opin ion that t. is country will never wit ness negro supremacy in the South. Should Gardiner's view of the negro increase be realized, that race would largely migrate W est and Southwest. It will be found tat in the future, when the twenty -seven Mexican States become part of the American Union. American negroes will settle there in large numbers. Gardiner assumes that there will never be any white immigration South. In this he is greatlv mistaken. The move ment has already begun. The census shows a rapid growth of the negro jopulation in the Northern States, which now contain nearly 700,000 negroes. 'rhe next census viil show a h rge increase on these t'gui s, as it will ed.ow a larye increase of whites in the seven Southern S'tes.
