WOMAN'S TKUE MISSION, OR "THE NOBLE LADIES OF EISQLAND." Honored be woman, when, with un shrinking eye, she looks out upon the broad "world before her, and clearl discerning her own peculiar path, walks therein with 'a dutv-doinr spirit and a humble heart. Honored be woman in all the beautifuM phases of mother, wife, daughter and sis ter. - When true to the instinct of her own kind nature she seks out sorrow to mili tate it ; administering to the sick ; bestow ing the preci Juskbalm of sympathy on the 'sorrowing; and relieving pain and misery Svherever it is to be found Thrice honor 'ed is she, when sacredly fulfilling Charity's 'bebesia, she listens also to the more ear nest invocations of Homfe. Happy is wo man if she cannot only thus clearly define her duty, but also faithfully perform it. But ala for thesp days of HTonrnensrti and VVorrfun's rights, when everything has a progressive movement, and woman, de termined not to be outdone, puts on her seven league boots, and takes long strides (o keep up with the glorious march of mas culine mind. There was a time when na ture drew the circle in which woman was to walk, an ! Education taught her how to keep within its bounds. But the march of improvement has trampled out the lines, nd woman wanders where she will, "Tho world is all before her where t choose." Is it a marvel then that she sometimes strays into man's domains, as in the recent case of "the noble ladies of England ;" . who, donning bonnet and shawl, turned remorselessly the key upon tfieir lord, leaving them to sing in fatherly tones soft cradle songs,1 whilst they sent loud wait ings over the broad Atlantic. Gathered together in solemn convocation, they frr. med a pathetic petition, an earnest appeal to their American sisters, who were living in perfect ignorance of the evils which they were so.meltingly called on to redress, Fired with indignant fervor, each fair phi lanthropist seized the goose quill, and to the moving address inscribed her cogno jnen. The effort over, and they sat down to gaze upon a collection of names, the owners of which had never before come together, and, perhaps, would not then, save for the levelling principle, that would intermix black and white indiscriminately, on the great chequer-board of life. Here, then, in the lengthened columns, stand their names ; very much as did those in Hood's 'black job,' where certain "Friends to black and foes to white," -were linked together in charitable union, for the purpose of lightening the condition of their sable brothers; or in other wonls, to make black white. To this laudable object, this great bleaching scheme these praiseworthy individuals made such rich donations as the case required, "Eliaha Brettle, An iron kettle, The Dowager Lady Scannel, A piece of flannel. Rebecca Pope, A bar of soap. The Misses Howels, Half a dozen towels. The Master Rushes, Two scrubbing brashes. Mr. T. Groom, A stable broom And "Mrs. Grubb A tub." l3ut alas ! like too'many schemes of Eng lish philanthropy no good came of it, for we are told that "Somehow in the teeth of all endeavor, According to reports At yearly courts, The b Lacks, plague ou them, were as black as ever." uWhy did not "the noble ladies of Eng land" take warning from this gre'at failure, and suffer themselves to be deterred in their -schemes of like benevolence ? Strange wandering from worn in's sphere ! Where were the 'golden tressed Adelaides,' whose ringlets bathed in the sunshine the fair 'brows, over which they fell ? Alas ! all the -golden tressed Adelaides,' who dwelt in England's free soil, could not win their mammas from sorrowfully contemplating the less luxuriant ringlets of thir sable sis ters. But still, stranger they could not hear that low, wailing cry of children, that wrnt up from their very midst Young, weak children, whose plaintive moan of weary, weary,' is heard high above the "noisy factory wheels. "" The young children, O my brothers, They are weeping bitterly, They are weeping in the playtime of the others, In the country of the free." Yes, while wild as the mountain air, the cable children of southern shores frolic away the day beneath the southern suns ; the free, white children of England's ground, are toiling in the dark prison hou ses of work and misery ; shut out frjm light, from joy, from hope forever more Philanthropic England, show me on Amer ica's soil an evil like unto this. Oh ! turn your ill-directed sympathies in their proper jcnannel ; for hear your , own Elizabeth Browning, who so eloquently pleads the cause of your poor, oppressed children. ''How long, how long, 0 cruel nation, Will yea stand to move tha world on a child's heart, Stifle down with a mailed heel its palpitation, And tread onward to your throne amid the mart , v -i . - Oar blood splashes upwards, O oar tyrants, And your purple- shows, your path, But the little child's sob corseth deeper in the si lence v Than the strong man in his wrath." But what moved the noble ladies of England' to. resolutely cloue their eyes on home suffering and open them fearfully wide on the imaginary evils abroad ? " Be cause they had 'supped full of horrora' ott a. book that contained as many awful dis closures as the nerve-shaking, shudder creating, Mysteriesof Udolpho. They bad feasted on the pages of a book, sent 'forth into the world "by a, woman, who, dip ping her pen in the black ink of falsehood, dnrkened the pages with the stain of wil ful deception. nce admitted into Wieir aristocratic homes. 'Uncle Tom' became :a pearl in the beante(Vus htdies' eyes,' and Liking his hardened palm between their softly jewelled fingers, they gave him a sister's welcome and a sister's love. They inVrfed him into their luxurious boudoirs ; and bid him agaiu and again tell the story of his woes ; and the noble ladies wrung their hands, Ad wept, mourned so loudly that they could not tt&iA the thousand har rowing cries that replied to each other, from-overked, down-trodden humanity without. Thus delicately housed. 'Uncle Thomas' became an oracle ; pitied, ap plauded and qno'ted, h4s f t friends remain ed in bhssfel ignorance that they were cherishing an arch impostor whose asser tions were as ridiculous as they were false and revolting. Can we not fancy the noble ladies of . England' with the pages of ' Uncl Tom' opened wide before them. The dew drops of sorrow course down their aristocratic cheeks, ' Those pale and pearly cheeks,' as they follow ' Eliza,' the bright-eyed one, in her wild flight. Pursued by her remorse less persecutors, she flies to the river ; ;with one wild cry and flying leap, she vaulted sheer over the turbed current by the shore on to the raft of ice beyond. It was a despe rate leap' assuredly so. we should pro nounce it a most alarming leap, and one that no woman in her senses could possibly have taken, except, perhaps, the agile Harriet Beecher Stowe herself, who understands the art of skipping about on dangerous places. Once loJged a floating cake of ice, what did Eliza do? sink? oh no, the wonderful woman was destined for a more glorious fate, even a Liberiaii home. ' With wild cries and desperate energy, she leaped to another and still another cake, stumbling leaping slipping springing upwards a gain.' Poor Eliza, she is indeed made to ' Play fantastic tricks before high heaven,' and we doubt not that ' the angels wept,' when they saw her dance shoeless, stock ingless, on that floating fleor of ice. But how ended the wonderful performance of the bright-eyed one? Oh lovely humani ty, as exhibited in the person of Harriet Bee cher Stowe ; she lands Eliza safely, and be it told to the everlasting honor of ' Mr. Symmes,' he is waiting on the bank like a gallant knight-errant to assist the poor per secuted heroine ; which he accordingly did, and Eliza has the pleasure of hearing herself saluted, as ' a brave gal, a gal of grit, a sensible gal.' What a gallant man truly, exclaim the fair readers as they raise thsir eyes to heaven and thank the powers above and Mr. Symmes, for thus timely aiding the unfortunate. v e can see 'the noble ladies' brushing away their tears as they contemplate the beautiful picture of equality and brotherly love, as it appear3 at the table of Simeon Halliday. 1 he benign Rachel dispensing the fragrant Mocha to Simeon the first and Simeon the second, that infant Hercules, who would strangle the vile snake of slav ery and despotism with his young hands. We actually shrink back from the unchris tian, unqui.kerlike spirit exhibited by that small sized boy, in drab colored suit, when he pronounces with warlike air, "I hate the slave-holders." But the most beauti ful feature in that picture of brotherly love is rJliza, with her ' large dark eyes ;' and George, ' who sat for the first time at the white man's table on terms of perfect, equamy' wnai motnersneart can, un moved, gaze upon the lovely 'little Har ry,' in his 1 high chair,' that chair of aris tocratic height, where Harriet Beecher Stowe has placed him. Truly after this picture we are constrained to admit, that if all men are not born equal, some assur edly are ; and that 'my daughter' falls with a natural grace from the lips of Ra chel HalliJay in addrefsing Eliza, as it did when speaking to her own daughter Mary. But it would be useless to follow the noblelrtdies through all their delights and their sorrows ; neither would it be worth while to dwell upon the scenes of that absurd book, whose pages of moving pathos are to those better informed, pages of wondrous pathos. We have not the in clination to dwell as "the noble ladies" did, on the christian example of Uncle Tom, that most ideal of ideals, whose coun terpart we defy H Beecher Stowe, or any of the like investigators of truth, to find on southern land, Uncle Tom, that national flag, upon whose head was set stars of glory, and whose back displayed the stripes of his country. Neither have we inclina tion to dwell upon the Cassys and Emi lines ; the aunt CKloes and the Geo. Shel bys ; the Evas and the Topsys, that are mingled together in such variegated xon fusion, in the pages of that Radclifliian ro mance. We cannot, as did the noble la dies,' stop to admire that strong-minded woman, that practical Vermonter who, ac cepting as a gift, the wicked Topsy, brings r.er up from the slough of ignorance, a muddy, unprepossessing individual, that, by the most vigorous efforts of the strong minded, and strong-handed Vermonter, is at last brought to the state of a highly in tellectual lady of color; deeply pious and astonishingly zealous: a lady, whose intel lectual efforts are finding free scope on Li be nan soil j where she presides over the blue black ladies of the literary circles of those parts; and where she is now known as'Mrs. Montaghe, queen ol the ' Gens de Lettres.' , ' In pursuing this book, that by its ignis fatuus fires melted, the soft .hearts of the English ladies, we can burjjuote 'Sam's words f Faculties is different indifferent peoples, but the cultivation of mgoes a great way, for we arise from the perusal with the impression that' Harriet Beecher Stowe has cultivated her faculty of the marvellous to truly an alarming exteut. Deaf to the cries of holiest -Truth, who calls to her loudly from fhe depths of her well, the aathoress of Uncle Tomatalks on, a perfect female Hercules, bent upon tearing to pieces that Nemean lion sla very. , . : . . .... . To those whoxead with a knowledge of things as thej are, it appears incredible j that the iuthpreas of this Ethiopian ..fable could have found any one to credit her monstrous absurdities, have been Brahmas and However,"Hhere Vishnus : Freas and Odins ; Osiris and Isia, all of whom found believers. Man's imagination is too often like the Roc of the Arabian Nights that astonishing bird that fly away with an elephant. How true it is, that ': he who knows nothing, doubts of nothing;' and when the most pernicious book that ever disgraced female authorship, found its way into En- i - i i - i , gnsn nomes, English women read, and En lish ignorance believed. Fortunate is it for America, that she has succeeded so much better than the mother country in not only enlightening her daughters regarding her institutions, but in leaching them success fully woman's mission : and the enlight- i r a . eneu women oi America can turn a pity ing eye upon the misdirected sympathies ot their li-nglish sisters. What though there is an American woman who, 'un sexed,' has placed herself at the helm of that piratical ship, from whose mast floats the black flag of anarchy, thanks be to the wisdom-imbued mothers of America, that reprobate woman stan Is almost alone. And thus may she ever stand in the dis graced garments with which her falsehood bus clothed her. And though she maybe a fitting recipient for the caresses of En glish women, the daughters of America feel that she has been carried far bej-ond the gates of their city : far from their sym pathies and. their respect. Let her gloat over the golden heap conjured into being by tLe wand of her falsehood ; let her twine her brow with the tarnished laurels, placed their by fanaticism and ignorance; but in the midst of her triumphs let her re member that forever more she is an Amer ican woman whose name the pure-minded women of her own country hold in pitying contempt. iet tne noble ladies ol England promp ted by her misrepresentations, petition and address ; but at the same tune let them take a lesson from our happy, sable char ges ; who, in cheerful obedience to higher powers, and a faithful discharge of the du ties that Heaven has assigned them, set a bright example to the noble ladies of Eng land, which their American sisters pray they may speedily emulate, and thus prove to the world that they at last under stand the true object of Woman's Mission.

In a Narrative oC Travels on the Ama-1 zon and Rio Negro, just published, Mr. Wallace describes an extraordinary tree, called the milk tree, which was one of tho first wonders he saw near Para. The fruit is eatable, and full of a rich and very juicy pulp ; but "strangest of all is the veg etable milk, which exudes in abundance when the bark ia cut. It is about thts consistency of thick cream, and) but for a very slight peculiar taste, could scarcely be distinguished from the genuine products of the cow. Mr. Leavens ordered a man-to tap some logs that had lain nearly month ih the yard. He cut several notches in the bark with an axe, and in a minute the rich, sap was running out in great quanii ties. It was collected in a basin, diluted with water, strained, and brought up at tea time and at breakfast next morning. The' peculiar flavor of the milk seemed ruthef to improve the quality, of llietra, and gave it as jood a color as rich cream ; in coffee it id ecjuuJly good." The milk is also used for glue, and it is said to be as durable a3 that made use of by carpenters. N. C. BACON, Q nnf,bs- Hog Round, for sale by 0,JI 'U ANDERSON Jt SAVAGE.
