Why don't you tako the papers T They're the life of our delight; Except about election time, And then I read for spite. Subscribe! you cannot lose s cent, Why should you be afraid T For cash thus paid is money lent At interest four-fold paid. Go, then, and take the papers, And pay to-day, nor pay delay, And tny word for it is inferred, You'll live until you're gray. An old neighbor of mine, While dying with a cough, Desired to hear the latest news Whlle)e was going off. , I took the paper, nd I read Of some new pills In force J no bought a bx and is he dead ? No hearty as a horse. I know two mqn, as much aliko As e'er you saw two stumps And no phrenologist could find A difference in their bumps. One takee the paper, and Lis lifo Is happier titan a King'i, Uis children can rcl md write, And talk of men and things. The other took no paper, and While strolling through tho wood, A treo fell down and broke hU crown, And killed Win" very good.". Had he been reading of .the news, A t home, like neighbor Jim , T'll ht a cent that aocident ' Would not have happened ttim. (3 Why don't you take the papers? Nor from tho printers sneak, Because you borrow from his boy A paper every weeki For lie who lake.1 tho papers And pays his bill when due; Can live in peace with God and man, And with the printer too; THE CHILDREN. Iloaven bless the children! Beautiful aud fair, Needing all (i mother's love, All a father's eare. Restless little pilgrims On the road of lifo, Eager for the journey hence, Earnest for the strife. Glad to push their vessel From the parent shore Once on life's broad billowy sea 'Twill return' no morj Ever asking questions That confound the wise; Peering into mysteries With their truthful eyes. Setting us examples Ever, day by day, Teaching us the way of lifo In their simple way. Ileaven bless the children! As they once were blessed, When the gentle Lord of Love Little ones earcs'cd. Lead them safely over Life's tempestuous sea; Keep them from tho evil hour, Teach them to ba mr.a! Free from all excesses; Free from moral stain From the glutton's heavy bonds, From the drunkard's chain! Frco from tin's allurements, Be they what they may Walking the narrow path Towards the gates of day. From Hearth and nomo. My Notions of Woman's Rights. BY HORACE GHEE LEY. I. I hold that God created our race, male aud f'eniulo, with clear-seeing intent that ii should thereby bo rendered more efficient, nobler, happier, than it otherw ise could be, and that this divermty relates uot to a single luuetiou merely, but ex tends to our entire physical, intellectual, and emotional nature. II. I hold that this distinction is so inute, vital, ewicutial, that the first man and the first woman, having realized that "it is not good that man should be alone," and having blended their efforts and their fortuues for mutual well-being according' ly, at once recognized the intrinsic fitucss of each for distinct exertions for the com mon good ; and that the man wont forth to collect tho bounties of Nature or con strain them into such fofms as would be conducive to their subsistence, while the woman took charge of the bower, cabin or cave, which formed their abidingplaco and proceeded to make the mutual couch of leaves, or boughs, or grass, to render tho inleror of their lodge as comely and cosy as she might, to fashion garments from the bark, or fibres, or skins which tho nian from time to time .brought in and to preserve and prepare the food like' wiso procurad by him, so as to render it useful, palatable and nutritious to both to tho extent of her knowledge and abhty III. 1 believe that, when the time had arrived, for establishing a government or State, other than that oldest and simplest patriarchal rule which doubtlccs sufficed for a psason, tho men assembled for the purpose, whether generally or by delegates leaving tho women at home, attending to their proper business, and this because ot a mutual mid general intuition that such was tho Diviuo Order, dictated by the highest good of the entire human family. IV. I hold that the appointed sphere of man is broader, not higher, than that of woman that tho household is her king dom, within which bor influence should be paramount, and her decisions have the forco of law. Of course, a true wile will consult her husband ow all matters of im portanco, and will evinco great deference to his wishes, tastes, feelings, aversions just as a true husband will evince like uci- ercace to those of his wife; but Nature has assigned to each a distinct, definite sphro, aud the happiness of both, tho due development and well-being of their chil dren, tho comfort and cujoymcnt of their guests, dietato that each- should recognize tho other's precedence within tho proper radius of his or he dominion. V. I affirm the right of woman to do whatever she can do well, oven though her ability be exceptional, and not com mon to her sex ; and I honor tho wife or daughter who, having a crippled or bed' ridden husband or father cast upon her for support, tills with her own hands tho furm or garden wucuoo sno aonvea u and her subsistence. But even in that case, 1 would h;vc her work by herself, "r With companions of her own sex, so far I its poffiible. The promiscuous employment of men and wom"n in shop or Peld has hitherto led to gross irregularities and cor ruptions, and I do not believe the time near at hand when such commingling may confidently bo expected not to result in such lamontablo coiiHetmcnccs. VI. As to '.asiuntf one of the few pursuits wherein men and women may be properly associated I deem it best that, above tho age of fifteen, girls should be instructed by women, boys by men, and girls should acquiro a knowledge of and skill in any trade or handicraft whereby they may earn an honest, useful livelihood and I consider tvpe-settinr one to which they are especially adapted j but if, having acquired this or any other, they are to solicit Work from printcry to print cry, and take their places in the compos- ing-rooin indiscriminately with men, I am suro tho moral evils of such commingling will greatly outweigh auy pecuniary ad vantages that may bo fairly expected lrom it. VII. As to Government : I heartily wish tho women of our country, and of each Stato, would choose their wisest and best to assemble as delegates, consider the needs and .wrongs of their sex, and mo morializo Congress and their respective Legislatures for tho removal of those wrongs 1 am confident that such delegates, fairly chosen by the general voice of their sex, would niuke no demand that 1 would not heartily second. I bolicvo valuable sug' gestions might be expected from such a congregation of tho gentler and purer sex But from a Congress or Legislature elect ed by men and women voting together, and mado up in good part of such womeu as would naturally nspiro to and enjoy scats therein and being closeted on commit tees with such men as they would find therein, I pray to be delivered-. VIII. Of my seven children, but two survive, both giri7ior whom 1 would make lifo as fair rtnd hopeful as may be I presume them quite as capable as most o'.her girls to do their part iu whatever befits their sex and their station. I would havo their lives active, useful, beneficent, aud respected. If 1 thought it well for them to be voters, jury-women, election eered, anu candidates lor oiuce, 1 have uo conceivablo motive for seeking to inter poso a barrier to thoir following such a career. JJut i do not, cannot Deiieve that such is tho sphere for which (hey were de signed by an All-wise l'atitcr. I believe that their chances of usefulness and of happiness would be seriously diminished by precipitating them on such a course I greatly prefer that they should be wo. men, such us MiltouportraycdiuEvc,and Shakespeare m Imogen. IX, l''or it were blindness not to see that tho essential character of the house hold miist bo very different from what it ever has been when Smith spends his eve' nings at tho Uniou League, and Mrs, Smith enjoys hers at the Manhattan Club (or their respectito counterparts in any city or village ;) he doing his best to elect tho Republican, she rendering like hearty support to tho Democratio or whatever may bo tho rival ticket. Their homo' if tho naino be still retained "will be another X arrow' from that . which long ago won the beloved appellation. Smith and Mrs. Smith will meet at breakfast in uo mood for reciprocal endearments,- and ittla fitted to show forth to their children how "birds in their lfttle nests agreo ; they will be more inclined to canvass with acerbity their rival platforms and candl dates aud if Smith thmdd happen to find in tho morning paper some cheering rc turns from Pennsylvania, Ohio, or some other State previously regarded as doubt ful, ho will bo apt to announco them in such terms as to elicit a reminder that he is a ''brute," while, if the news should happen to favor Mrs. Smith's ticket, lam not at all suro that her use of it would not be equally provoking and as sharply resented. In short, I shall expect untag. ouism in politics to bo at least as fruitful a source of separations as incompatibility of temper now is. X. As to employment for woman hold that there is an immensity of work to be done that specially pcrtaius to the sphere of woman, which goes undone or is done very badly and expensively bo cause most women reject it. This coun try is in present; pressing need of one hun dred thousand sciontiCio, skilful thorough' ly qualified cooki; but very few Amer; can-born young women are seeking to adapt themselves to this urgent national ncod.' We aro poorly fed, as a people our meats hall-oookod or burned to a crisp our bread is often stur or soggy, and quite generally tasteless, indigestible and innu- itious, because its makers are grossly norant and bent on remaining so ; the butter, on most of our tables, is a poor sort of grease ; and as to soups, we do not know what they arc, while for those who do know liow lo mitkc llietii, they are tho cheapest, most palatable, most nutii tious form of mingled animal and vegeta ble food. If tho "Girl of tho Period" could only bo induced to leave tho piano unafflictcd, and devote the next year or two mainly to Soycr and the kitchen-range I feel very sure that her happiness, as well as that of mankiud, would thereby be sijmally promoted. I am confident that she would thus secure good wages, a proper independence (or rather intcr-de-pendeuce, which is the nearest approach to the former attainable in civilized socie ty,) general respect, and qualify herself to bo "a help-meet" for tho industrious, fru gal, energetic farmer or mechanic who, in due time, will probubly ask her to become his wife. 1 hope few will regard me as lacking sympathy with tho many needy and ill placed or unplaced women of our day, who aro anxiously inquiring and looking for something to do." It is because I would havo this class smaller in the next than it is in tho present generation, that I speak so plainly as I do. We aro a fearfully miseducated people, and the case is worse with our girls than with our boys. With- a the sphere of my observation, not one in ten is really trained or training to earn her own livelihood in any capacity ; tho greater number seem vaguely to expect that they will marry for a position and rear ehildrcn'for an occupation. ' Hence, I welcome tho agitation for Woman's Rights and Female Suffrage, as disturbing a stagnation which involved the pain without the peace of death." Tho issue will not bo such as tho agita tors contemplate, for Nature is too strong for a will even so stubborn as Anna Dick inson's, a persistency so dogged as Susan Anthony's ; but tho fountains of the great deep will be profoundly stirred, and the result cannot fail to be wholesome. Wo man is insisting that her share of tho world's work bo allotted and secured to her, and tho demand, however unwisely urged or mistakenly dirocted, is suostan tiallyjust. What she, far more than man, needs to realize, is, that no useful work is deyrad- ing, though much may be rejected as un suited to her sex or her strenr'th. There is work enough that she may laudably do tho need is that she be qualified for and rendered willim; to undertake it. So long as our more expensively cduca ted girls shall fancy teaching, tho only es tablibhcd pursuit that they can follow with' out dirigrace, many of them must live mi crably, and bo driven by want to shame but let them awake to a realizing sense of the true dignity of labor, the essential no bleness whereby human lifo is made liaji pier and sweeter, and the world will wel come them to a tair allotment ot its ser vice, with the proper, rcsompcuso thereof, and-woman bo everywhere freshly hailed and with added reason, as "the last best gift" of God to man. Hints To Writers. 1. . Be brief. This is the ago of tele. graph aud stonography. ' 2. Bo pointed. Don't write all around a subject without hitting it 3. State facts, but don't stop to mor alize. It's drowsy business. Let . the reader do his own dreaming. 4. Etohcw prefaces. . Plunge at once into tho subject liko a swimmer iuto cold water. 5. If vou have wntton a sentenoo which you think particularly lino, draw pen across it. A pet child is tho worst iu tho family. C. Condense Make sure that you really have an idea, and then record it in the shortest possible terms. We want thoughts in their quintessence. 7. When the artiolo is eomp lute strik mil nino.tenths of the adioctives, Tho English is a strong language, but it won bear too much rcduoing. 8. Avoid all high-flown language. The plainest Anglo-tiaxon words aro the best . J). Make your sentences short. Eve. ry period is a milcstono at which tho rca der may Imlt ad rest. 10. Write legibly. Don't let your eanuscript look like tho track of a spider half drowned in ink, tho race thatTs gained by a "walk over" is not a raco at all, and the lifo that hulh no struggle hath no real success. A Preacher's Stratagem. It is said that, at one time, when Lo: renzo Dow preached under a large spruce pine, in South Carolina, he announced an other appointment for preaching in the same place on that day twelve months. The year passed, and as Lorenzo was entering the neighborhood the evening pre ceding his appointment, ho overtook a colored boy who was blowing a leng tin horn, and could send out a blast with rise, and swell, and cadonce, which waked the echoes of tho distant hills. Calling asido the blower, Dow said to him : "what is vour name ?" ' My name ! Gabriel, sir !" replied the brother in ebony. " Well, Gabriel, havo you ever been to Church Hill?" Yes, massa, I'sc been dar many a time." 1 vo you rcmemocr a big spruce pine tree on that hill 7" ' Yes, massa, I knows dut pine." 1 Did you know that Lorenzo Dow had an appointment to preach under that tree to-morrow 7" 0, yes, massa, everybody knows dat I s'posc." " Well, Gabriel, I am Lorenzo Dow, and if you'll tako your horn and go tt morrow morning, and climb up into that pine tree, and hide among the branches before the people begin to gather, and wait thero till I call your name, and then blow such a blast with your horn as I heard you blow a minute ago, I'll give yW a dollar, Will you dj it, Gabriel 7" " Yes, massa, I takes dat dollar." uabnel, like jacclicus, was hid away in tho tree-top in iino time. An Immense concoursiof alljSizcs nud colors, assembled at tho appointed hour and Dow preached on tho judgment of the fast day. By h power of description ho wrought the mul titude up to tho opening scenes of the res urrection, of the grand assize, at the call of tho trumpet peals which were to wake too nations, men, saia he, 1 sup pose, my friends, that we should hear at this moment the sound of Gabriel's trum pet," Sure enough, at that moment the trump of Gabriel sounded. Tho women shriek ed and fainted ; the men sprang up and looked aghast ; some ran ; others fell and called for mercy; and all felt for a time that the judgment was set and the books were opened. Dow stood and watched the driving storm till tho fi ight abated, and some one discovered the colored angel who had caused tho alarm quietly perched on 'a limb of tho old spruce, and wanted to get him down aud whip him, and then resum ed his theme, saying: I forbid sll persons touching that boy up there. If a colored boy wi!h a tin horn can frighten you almost out of your wits, what will ye do, when yo shall hear tho trumpet of the archaugel? How will ye bo able to stand in the great day of the wrath of God 7" Ho made a very effective application. - - Modern Farming. Farming is a profession, not to say scl enco. it any one doubts this statement let him leave his city home for no one bred . in the couutry will doubt it and undcrtako to cultivate even a garden of half au aero for tho summer- He will then find that knowledge is as essential to tho right use of trio spado as of tho pen aud that there is as great a difference be. twecn tho scientific farming of Flanders, where literally not a weed is to bo seen anJ that of many of our farmers, the wealth of whose soil is about equally di vided between fruits and weeds, as be. tween tho trade of a modern city and the barter of a back-woods settlement. It is true that agriculturo has bsen last to re. ceive the impetus of modern science,' is true that many-agriculturists ore will ing te go on in the ways of their fathers. because experiments are costly. But it is also true that they aro unablo to compete with thoso who understand the use of new instruments, methods aud fertilizers. Ag riculture is also becoming in this country a popular recreation. Many a gentleman is content to spend on his country scat money wliich he makes in tho counting. room. Tho practical farmer is thus abl to get the beucfit of experiments without ravinu for them." It will not I ef o bo long before something of a library will I bo a part of tho furniture of every well-orderod farm. Ilarper't Monlldy Magazine -a.A Protestant Church has been estab- lishbd atSautingo, Chili, under the name the "First Spanish Protestant Church Chili." It was opened on tho 20th' ult with appropriate services.- he N. Y. Tribune o,n Bcv. Peter Tarttfrlght; A G00P AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. Apart from all sectarian, and even ro- igious considerations, tho recent honors . paid to the Rev, Dr. Cartwright, at Lin coln, III., by his brethren in the fhibiSlfy,' avc an interest for all to whom the spec tacle of a life devoted to duty is beautiful. Cartwright, who is now eightyfird years of ago, has been for sixty-five of thoso years in the ministry a facl i!i thiff day of shifting aims end vacillnting e'xer? tion in itself sufficiently remarkable. The no old man, after half a century of toilsome travel, of self-sacrifice, of genuine postolic devotion, stood before his breth ren to'receive tho meed of their admira tion and gratitude. Such a career, sucn man, must have recalled to those who listened to him tho beginning of the Meth' odist Church, when its founder) M hiS" little band of devoted adherents, with his saiut-like minstrel brother by his side, went out to no holiday task, and, weeping over tho lukewarm condition of tho Church ttj' Inch ho still adhered, sought among pa(i pers and outcasts in the highways and by ways of England for tho witnesses of a aithful ministry. Dr. Cartwright is a living representative of the genuine, prinV itlve discipline of Wesley of the men who thought no journey too long, no dan ger too imminent no suffering too acute, if nly they might carry glad tidings to the sinful and tho degraded, fie is one of the last as he is one of the grea test of the trav-' eling preachers of the old Bchool. He is' one whom John Wesley would have taken to a bosom which rarely glowed with emo tional affection, and who would have mov' cd the ascetic nature of that extraordina-" ry man to words of approval, perhapsevon of unaccustomed praise. The speech in1 which Dr; Cartwright responded to the congratulations of Iris brethren was re markable for a rare simplicity, an engage ing candor, and a rude strength altogether refreshing in these dajs'of shallow pulpit rhetoric. Thero was, indeed,' Ihd abscned? of sectarian technicalities and of camD-" meeting phrases, for which" tho refined cader might havo no relish ; for Dr. Cart. wright adheres (as he has a right to do)' to tho dialect of his youth, and may not have kept pace with his associates in the march of refinement. Iht nothing could be more beautiful or touching in the whola ange of domestio poetry than the alius-'' ion of the octogenary to his aged wife. " He had not been speaking five minutes be fore his thoughts went back to her. She had been his "worthy companion kho who had never hindered him from travel" ing and preaching, had never scolded him for leaving her destitute and lonesome," but had always urged hira to do what her thought to be Iris duty,J' ' I have," said he, "I expect tX ol'dest Methodist preach er's wife in tho world." And then no imply with pardonable but just compla-- cency, the patriarch fpJre of his fifty grand-children and of his twenf gfHk" grand-children. He had been notonly a preacher of tho gospel but tho founder of a tribe. Nor could anything bo mere en tertaining than tho reminiscences in waicrl1 upon this occasion, Dr. Cartwrihl in- dulged. All autobiography is interesting, and the stupidest man could hardly write in good faith tho story of his lifo so stu-' pidly as to fail utterly of readers.
