LECTURE IT HON. HORACE MANN. The Tubernacio was densely fillcil Inst night to hear tlio"Peoplo's Lecture' on the above aubjoct, by Hon. Horace Mann. Wo have room only to notico ftomoof the chief points of his remark After a brief view of tho condition of wo man, he said ho was not ono who would flatter her, he would summon her at onca to the highest duties and rcsponsi bilities. Ho aaid that in this day, a new theory of equality of tho sexes or woman's rights had spread abroad. The leader of this sect in Europo is Helen M aria Weber, of Hamburgh, who drcseos and behaves like a man, and claims an equality with the iierner sex. But the design and the very works of God have forbidden this comminclini;. To efface oi modify the great distinguishing fea ture which separate iho sexes would be to defy the Maker himself. The human soul and tho human fooling, was crcat ed male and female, as much so as their bodies were. The Hon. gentleman went on to speak with considerable sarcasm of tho various similarities and dissimi Inrities which exist between the sexes. As a general law, man is superior in strength and reason; but woman is su perior in beauty, faith, love, and purity. This parallel was pursued with many eloquent and quaint illu-trations. As a specimen of woman's moral power, he cited the labors of tho philanthropic Miss Dix, who has won more Legisla tures than ever Napoleon did kingdoms. The lecturer next drew a vivid picture of the affections of woman as a mother, marking tho most notablo instances on record. Woman has less of animal pas sion, and more of religious devotion and faith than man. The capacities of wo man for virtue unsurpassed or for vice unimaginable were the same. Do not all these facta, aaid he, prove that there is no equality between tho sexes? Knives and forks and hooka and eyes might as well quarrol about equality as man and woman. Equality in numbers is the point where the sexes are nearest alike, and almost the only point. But what have been the rank and influence of wo man for 0,000 years? She might have conquered more nations for virtue than man has for aggrandizement; but man haa immensely degraded her; she has been little more than the mother of the race, and such a race that it may be doubted if its increase will bo a benefit to the world. If all things are to go on os they have done, it muy.be questioned f hydropathy be not the only euro for the maladies of such a planot. If wo man had played the part for which she was designed, the earth would have been relieved from most of its bestialities and Satanisms. For 4,000 year's, the Jew ish women did nothing but give birth to a race of unmerciful, stiff-necked men. The speaker noted the extreme rarity of worthy and notable women in tho his tory of the Jewish people. So bad in deed were they, that the wife of the one righteous man of Sodom, could only be preserved by being turned into salt. Where are the Grecian women of re nown? Why was there hut one Asp- asia 'for oratory, but one Sappho for song and these of n moral character that we hesitate to mention. In Rome there was no ono worthily notable wo men for each hundred years of it his tory. He proceeded to dep.ct the de graded condition of womaa during the Dark Ages. It was a wondor that the last spark of virtue was not crushed out f the female race during that long night of oppression, when she: was indeed the serf of serfs; But this dreadful age pass ed away; Protestantism and Civil Li berty rose in strength, and man and. wo man begat) to assume better' and more ppropriate stations ne . reierred at onsiderable length to the long continu ed oppressioni which woman hag endur ed, a in soma degree an excuse for any rebellion jor any absurd assertion of wo man' rights. J( Mr.. M, then proceeded.to speaK'Oi tfOnauipn. 9 . women wno labot for livelihood Jn ci.tiesi at home and; abroad. .anr of the,. degradiAa; pur- euitB pf .omon,in pur ; Ottt-door work! pi Euopofl-.Th9 MjvertacoV IRONTON of woman' properly, and even her earnings, was alluded to; and then the inequalitie and Inadequacies of wages paid te female the starvation price which result in the moral and physical destruction of woman. The inadequate provision for female education was next dUcusstd, and the speaker expressed the opinion that any given amount of care bestowed uponafema'e mind would pro duce a richer harvest that In the Instance of a male pupil. We havo no Tree a cademies for woman, and when wo come to colleges, we may as well conclude that woman is no portion of Croatian. Mr. M. instancml Mrs. Somervillo in Astronomy, and Mrs. Putnam in Mo dern History, as showing tho capacities oi tne tcmolo mind. Mrs. M. was glad to except Ubcrlin Institute from the Col leges which have never opened thei doors to woman. At all other doors, tho Gog and Magog of monopoly, in the forms of custom and prejudice, stand at tho threshold and forbid her to enter. Tho lecturer argued in the most formida hlo manner tho necessity for placing uman m tne most advantageous posi tion for education, a a matter of the utmost importance to the world. Her position at the cradlo is one moro no- bio end more fruitful of important conse quences than any that man can ever at tain. How important, then, that she should have the most enlarged and prac tical knowledge, the most varied and minute acquirements, tho most pure and elevated moral character, to guide to the right path the helpless beings who are to be the future "lords of crca.ion." Ho said that he had endeavored to es tablish the fact, that God had created tho two sexes on tho principle of the di vision of labor; there is no woman' sphere or. man's sphore, but each had a hemisphere and it took both to com plete the circlo. Ho had also shown that woman had never bean treated ns site should hnvo boon; that sho ought to have had an education equal to tho best that man had guaranteed to himself. A mortuls are created male and female, so labors and pursuits partake of a charac ter quite similar. He would point out some of the callings in which womnn was particularly fitted to excel. First, n tho arts of design. Is it not riilicu ous that man should originate the dc signs which decorate a woman's dress, or boudoir, or parterre? Let woman have the whole control of ornamcntnl design, and we shall soon sco a vast improve ment in arts. He said that copying, (penmanship,) proof-reading, and such sorts of labor wcio peculiarly adapted to females. But one calling, ho was sor ry to say, women wero rather disposed to abandon that is, the art of house keeping. It should be the greatest pride of woman to bo a scientific and practi cal cook. In tho great variety of com binations in tho cuisine, she has a per fect laboratory, and one worthy of a chemist's improvement. Mr. M. dilat ed upon tho importance of the larder, and its effect upon the health and hap piness of a family. And then he pro ceeded to examine, in an amusing man ner, the superintendence of the ward robe. But her highest duty is the edu cation of children this is a calling more important, more noblo than any to which man can ever aspire. Hero wo man has the very existence of morality, of religion, of society in her hands. Up on this, his favorite topic, Mr. Mann dwelt at considerable length, and with most convincing argument and illustra tion. Let woman, then, bo educated to the highest point, not only for her own sake, but for the sake of the world, of humanity. But there are pursuits for which woman is not fitted; as war, which in. every case must be wrong on one side, and in nine cases out of ten is wrong on both. The speaker indulged in a vigor ous comparison of the different views of crime in peace and in war, how white and black were one or the other as cir cumstances dictate. It may be said that if women were legislators, war would die out. He thought not; the opportunity to gratify a passion would firo that very spirit into action. Of law, he thought it not suited to woman. She lacked the hard, dry,' calculating, passionless spir it which was primarily.' necessary she lacked the unflinching nerve demanded in a Judge tho endurance required of a Jury. Ho saw but 'one reason why she should not preach the Gospel, and that was, the looks vastly better in liv ing the Goopel than in preaching it to the 'public. But to come to medicine, be deemed this branch of labor in an especial degree adapted to woman. In he tick chamber woman was always: at home; in many branches of medical prac tice it is barbarism; to have s.ny other than a woman. !; In botany, in pharma cyV in -nursing, l woman U unequalad. Yet , senseless custom forbids bier to Drfectiei tra physician But pojitlet, I OHIO, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY politic that any porson couU ever wish to see woman embarked upyn this Stygian lake is, incomprehensible, Mr. M. procecdod to draw a lifo-like picture of political and legislative bear-gardens, closing with a humorous view of the prospective quarrels which would aniue among husbands and wivca of varying politics. But tho nature of employments, as well as their nature, express their pro priety for either icx. Woman thoald pursue the moro qiiet and retired pro feasions and trades man, those of noisy struggle and violen'. exertion. He pro ceeded to review tho sanitary condition and physiological education of woman n which was most unfortunately far from wit at it should be. He depicted the de generating influences of lixury, riches, high liltt'i upon tho human race, and at tributed tiVe support of every vigorous community tO tho hardy offspring of tho poor, the hard- working Arnkimsof their ago. These wort the men who roso sud denly into power, a nd adzed from the enervated offspring of' luxury the scep ter of tho world. Ho pro ceeded to point out tho causes of physical regeneration. If there wero, for three or fo.uf genera tions only, a strict obedience tO nataral laws, then indeed would tho cirth be glorified by a new and noble race. So degencrnto were what wo call worn"" now, that a man would have to marry nt lenxt a doznn bofore incurring thu charge of bigamy. A truer education of women would reform our libraries. Now philosophy and scienco have no charms, becauso they arc quite unintelligible to the novel renders of the day. All the evils which he had thus far alluded to arc traceable to the want of a proper education. The thoory he had advanc ed assigned to woman the empire of home, tho arts of design, the practice of medicine, tho noblo arena of education. Ho proceadod to disposo of the great pro digies the Admirnble Crichtons of the female sex. For such he would say there is a realm of glory, where each of them may be crowned it was tho sphere of practical benevolence. This was a field wide enough, deep enough to satisfy the most aspiring smbition'. Universal puri ty and virtue is the sphcro which yields the most ample and appropriate reward for womnn. This sphere was wide enough and noblo enough for God himself; is it not good enough for his last and best work? The happiness of the human race through purity and virtue is a result that should not only satisfy but attract the persistent enor: oi woman. v ork 12 worship; Divinity is revealed through duly done. Man has done injustice to himself; woman comes on the stago 0, 000 years later, to profit by tho lessons of his practice and heal the- wounds of his misdeeds. Not tho Venus of beauty but of bonevolenco stands forever in the celestial galleries to be adornel by an gels. Wide as the field now open to woman is, it begins at home. Make homo what it should be, and then ex tend the work to other homes. Why should cities be great centers of suffer ing? Profusion wastes itself within hear ing of the cry of famine; men and chil dren freeze in sight of mountains of fuel, and wardrobes sacred to moths and de cay. Does woman pant for glory? Point hero here. There is more true gjpry in conquering one street to virtuo than n all the Thermopylae and Waterloos imaginable. The genius of woman can invent a thousand things to- make the world happy. Beauty, peace, lore are the angols that shall crown the work. Mr. M. made a rapid survey of the great field where woman was expected to en ter and cultivate the Cold of moral im provement in all the dark ways of wretchedness and crime, of ignoranco and despair. Let woman take the prize of victory in this field, and sho will be a queen greater than ever at upon., the throne of the Tudors or. the', Planiagan ets. Greater than Victoria, the queen, are the daughter of benevolence, who havo gone forth to redeem a world. They teach the religion of health, love, mercy, beauty, refinement, intelligence, temperance, virtue, salvation; the angels call them sisters: they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, Jn that day when I make up my jewels. , ; The lecturer was listened to with un usual attention; and was greeted with very general applause. Among the audi ence we noticed a Bloomer in full rig, looking as calm as if the lionorable gen tleman had not poured his vials of wrath upon nef devoted head in his first dis course. "U-, , , ..- MEMORY As the; unremitting, and, apparently accelerated rapidly of revolving years remind us of our proximity to' the close of life's weary pilgrimage, how busy are the myterious t faculties of memory! Prospective bliss, resting pn the seduc tive promises of hope, is so of:en atran- flat by tho . teV of weary, occuioaed 1, 1853. by disappointment, that wo loose confi dence in her flattering assurance, end refusing to follow her along tho bidden paths dark recesses of the future, in pur suit of prospective hnppincss, we revert to the pact, and accompany memory In her magical retrospective excursion!

It may bo worthy of remark that near ly every reflecting person, how diversi fied soever tho scenes through which ho may havo passed, cherishes, indoclining lifo, a parumount regard for some partic ular spot, on which memory delights to dwell and lo which she fondly clings goldon hours endoarod by kindred tics and joys in early life, which, though changed by time, she faithfully portrays in all their primuiivo freshness snd beau ty; ond though servered by death, sho would gladly recall. aOD'S ACRE.

In a civil and political sense, w'l f cannot discover that tho Church re- gords Christianity in any other light than that of a curb, a bit, a restraint, a means by which tho peoplo may be kept in order and in submission to their master. Tho clergy, under this point of view, are a sort of constabulary force at the service of tho police, and meet ing-houses a substitute for police offices, houses of correction, and penitcntiarios. Far be it from us to deny the great worth of Christianity in this respect Wo acknowledge tho virtues of the Church, as an agent of the police; but we hope we may be allowed to believe that Christianity requires the Church to possess other and far higher virtues. It should not merely keep the people in subjection to on order of things which is, but fire them with the spirit ond tho energy to creato a social order, to which it shall need no con stabulary force, lay or clerical, to make tho millions submissive. But if the Church, Loth here and in Europe, does not desert the cavse of Absolutism) and make common cause with the people its doom is sealed. Its union with tho causa of Liberty is the only thing which can save it. The party of the peoplo, the democracy throughout the civilized world, is every day increasing in numbers and in pow er. It is already too strong to be de feated. Popes may issuo their bulls against it; bishops may denounco it; priests may slander its apostles, and ap peal to the superstition of the multitude; kings and nobilities may collect their forces and bribe or dragoon; but in vain; it is too late. Democracy has be come a power, and sweeps on resistless as one of the great agents of Nature. Absolute monarch must be swept a- way before it. They will fail in their mad attempt to arrest tho progress of the people, and to roll back the t'ulo of civilization. They will be prostrated in the dust, and rise no more for ever. Whoever or whatever leagues with them must take their fate. If the Altar be supported on tho Throne, and tho Church joined to tho Palace, both must fall to gether. Would the Church could soe this in time to avert the sad catastrophe! It is a melancholy thing to reflect on the ruin of that majestic temple which has stood so long, over which so many ages have passed, on which so many storms have beaten, and in which so many human hearts have found shelter, solace and heaven. ' It is melancholy to reflect on tho condition of the people deprived of all forms of worship, and with no ' altar on which to offer the liaart' incense to God the Father. Yet assured.Iy characters, altarless, with no form or a.Hadow of worship will the peo pie be, lT the Church continues its league whit " absoiuusm. ? The .people have sworn ' deep in their hearts,, that they will ho .free.' They panne free-1 loin ns a Divinity, and freedom they will have-Mvith tho Church if it may be, without tho Church if it must be. God grant that they who profess to bo his especial servant may be cured of their madueit in season to lave the Altar! The people almost universally iden tify Christianity with the Church. They canot rejoct the Church without seem ing to themselves to be rejecting Christi anity, and thoroforo not without regard ing thcmscl'-cs as infidels, Will tho clergy consent to drive the people into infidelity? Can they not discern tho signs of the times? Will they porsist in main taining social doctrine more abhor ront to tho awakening instincts of the people than atheism itself? A people, recording itself as infidel, is in the worst plight possiblo to pursue the work of social regeneration. It is then deprived of tho hnlloweJ and hallowing influence ami guidanco of tho religious sentiment; ond it can hardly fail to be come disorderly in tho pursuit of order, and to find license inslca 1 of liberty, ond onnrchy instead of a popular gov ernment. For its own sake, then, and for the sake of liberty also, tho Church should break its league with the despots and join with the peoplo, and give them its purifying and ennobling influ ence. The Church must do this or die. Al ready it is losing its hold on the hearts of the people. Every whero is there complaint of men's want of interest in religion; everywhere is there noel of most extraordinary efforts, and various and powerful machinery, to bring peo plo into the Church, and few are brought in, save women ant children. Tho pulpit has ceased to be n power, it no longer charms or kindles. It finds no echo in the universal heart- Ser mons aro thought to be dull and vapid, and when they coll forth applause, it is tho preacher that wins it, not tho cause he pleads. Are we at any loss to ac count for this? The old doctrines, the I old maxims,' tho old exhortations, the (did topics of discussion, which th i Jcrgy judge it their duty to reproduce, a ro not those which now most interest tl 10 people. The dominant sentiment a f the people is not what it was. Once t was thought that tho earth was smit , an with a curse from God, and happi 1 tcss was no more to be looked for on it a nl rem it. Then all thoughts turned to another world, and the chief enquiry wa t, how to socure it. 10 save me .

Jesus was under tv political and social aspect, the prophtt , of the deimtratf. He cam to the' poor and afflicted, to the wronged and the outraged, to the maiset, the down' trodden millions', and he spoke to therm as a brother, in' the tones of an infinite . love and iavfinito compassion, while to , thundered the rebuke of Heaven againtl ; their oppressors, "te serpents, ye gert . eration of vipers," snys he totbe people's masters, "how can ye escape tlirdsruna tion of hell?" His word was wiift. pow er. Aye, was it, because he spoke to the common soul, because he- spoils , out for outraged Humanity, and be- 1 cause h did not fear to speak to tie great, the renownod, the rich, the hoast ingly religious, in terms of terriblo plain ntis and sevsrity. Before his piercing glance earth-born distinctions vanish, . and kings and princes, scribes and Pharisees, chief priests and elders, sink down below the meanest fisherman, or the vilest slave, and become less worthy X) enter the kingdom of hea vtn than pub licans and harlots. Theii robes and widened phylacteries, their loud pro tensions, their wealth, rank, refinement, influence, do not deceive him. He seea th hollow heart within them, the whi ted sepulchures they are, full of dead men's bones and all manner of unclaau nets, vessels merely washed on the out-, side, nlijilthy within, and he denoun ces them in terms too terrible to be re pcated. Heru was the secret of his power. The great, tho honored, the re-' spectnble, tho aristocracy, social or re ligious, beheld in him a fearful denoun cer of their epprsssions, a ruthless un veiler of their hidden deformity; while the poor, the "common people," saw in him an advocate, a protector ay, an avenger. Jesus declared that the spirit of jho Lord was upon him, becaass he was an nointed to preach the Gospel to tho poor; and he gave, when asked by tho disciples of John, the fact, that tha Gos pel was preached to the poor, as one of the principal proofs of his Messiahahip. He chose his disciples from the lowest ranks of his countrymen; and they wero the common people who heard him glad ly. Was he not a prophet from God to the masses? Was he prophet to them merely because h prepared tho way for their salvation hereafter? Say it not. The earth he came to bless; on the earth he came to establish 0 king dom; and it wat said of him that ho should not fail nor be discouraged till he had set judgment justice in the earth and the isles waited for his law. He was to bring forth victory unto truth.
