which lime id often wasted in our

A witness was under examination,
and it became very important to know
what another had said to him upon the
subject matter in dispute. The ques
tion was there propounded, • what did
Mary say to you ?* Thereupon the op
posite counsel rose Very much excited,
and stated his objections in a speech an
hour long, t ■> which the olher replied in
one of almost the same length. Then
the Judges consulted together, and in a
very learned and pompous manner, one
of them slated tlfcUreason for consider-
ingil a very -proper question, which
must be answered. The greatest ex
citement was manifested by the audi
ence, anti a solemn silence was observ

witness quietly replied—

BT MRS. Im H. SIGOURNEY.
The increasing privileges which an
illumination has conferred upon our sex,
exceedingly heighten their responsibili
ties. Formerly, to be “ faithful over a
yho.lhings” was all that their limited
sphere required: now they are both
qualified and expected lobe made “ ru
lers over many things.” The treasures
of their own minds are revealed to them,
and they are summoned forth as labor
ers in the wide field of benevolence.—
The temple of science is no longer in
accessible to the foot of tyom^p. ^rora
its pavilion, whence waJcMislem- j©aJ-
ousy she was for ages excluded,‘a voice
addresses her, “Enter in and live”—
Of treasures which had been from an
cient times accumulating, yet strictly
sealed from her eye, she is invited to
partake. It remains to be proved in
what manner this invitation will be re
ceived—-this admission vulued. Will
she loiter at the threshold of this mag
nificent temple? Will she amuse her
self in its courts by gathering its deep
flowers that spring up where there is
deepness of earth ? Will she just t..
ter the gate, and proclaim with the shrill
ness of vanity, her own initiation ? her
own proficiency in the mysteries of
knowledge? Or will she press to the
innermost shrine, among those true
hearted and meek-soulded worshippers,
whose candle goelh not out by night.”
Youngfemalcs, these interrogations are
emphatically for you. With you it is
the time of culture, the day of hope.—
Suffer not the allutcments, the tempta
tions of indolence, to prevent your di
lation on the altar of wisdom. Come
while the dews of the morn.ng are fresh,
about you. The meridian sun may ab
sorb your vigor, or find you toiling in
different and/nore sterile fields. May
you not be’ constrained to adopt the
lamentation, “ my own vineyard have
I not kept.” A time will come, should
your days be prolonged, when life may
seem like a twice told tale, when the
present and the future disrobed of nov
elty, the mind will turn ’for enjoyment
to the past. Lay then, a. deep founda
tion, and collect a store of imperishable
fruits for this season of retrospection.
Convinced that “knowledge ispower,”
seek It ndJen if may be <bbtjriw6n,TMid so
use it that all within the sphere of your
influence, may be prompted by your
example to the attainment of moral ex
cellence, to the pursuit of “ glory, im
mortality and eternal life.”
Damascus.
That clover correspondent of the
New York Courier If Enquirer, “Sig

“ Damascus has a population of about
25,000,o(’which about 12,000 are Syrian
Christians, 3,000 Jews, aud the remain

with shelved niches for vases of water,

My dear friend,” answered the pro
fessor, “ we must never amuse our
selves at the expense of the poor. But
you are rich, and you may give your
self a much greater pleasure by means
of this poor man. Put a dollar in each
shoe and then we will hide ourselves.”
The student did so, and then placed
himself with the professor behind the
bushes hard by, through which they
could easily watch the laborer, and see
Whatever wonder orjoy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his work,
and came across the field to the path,
where he had left his coat and shoes.—-
While he put on the coat, he slipped one
foot into one of his shoes; but feeling
something hard, he stooped down and
found the dollar. Astonishment and
wonder were seen upon his connte-
nance ; he gazed upon the dollar, turn
ed it around and looked again and again;
then he looked around on all sides, but
could see no one. Now he put the
money in his pocket and proceeded
to put on the other shoe; but how great
was bis astonishment when he found
the olher dollar! His feelings over
came him ; he fell upon his knees, look
ed up to heaven, and uttered aloud a
fervent thanksgiving, in which he spoke
of his wife, sick and helpless, and his
children without bread, whom this
timely bounty from some unknown hand
would save from perishing.
The young man stood there deeply
affected, and tears filled his eyes.
“Now,” said the professor, “are you
not much better pleased than if you had
played your intended trick ?”
“ O, dearest sir, answered the youth

Louis Batthyany, the ex Hungarian
Minister President, was to die on the
gallows, as it had been proved by the
evidence of seventeen witnesses that he
had principally by means of bribery,been
instrumental in compassing the murder
of the Minister of War, Count Latour.
To-day being the anniversary of the
murder, was appointed for Count Bat-
thyany’s execution. The gallows whs
erected on the so-called * Holzplatz,’
behind the Neugehaude. The sentences
ot Count Batthyany, Count Stephen
Caroly, and the guerrilla chief Fekete
were ready’, when a new order arrived
to oinit the first sentence, as Batthyany’s
execution had been put off. According
to some, the Count attempted to stab
himself with a dagger; others say that
he tore open his throat with a nail. It
is not positively known whether he is
mortally wounded, but it is an indispu
table fact that be is still alive.”
Count Stephen Caroly has been sen
tenced to two years arrest in a fortress,
