Female Education. —What ia the true ob
ject of female education 1 The best answer
to this question is, a statement of future du
ties; for it must never be forgotten, that if
education be not a training for futureduties,
it is nothing. The ordinary lot of woman is
to marry. Has anything in these educations
prepared her to make a wise choice in mar
riagcl To be a mother! Have the duties
of maternity—the nature of moral influence
•—been pointed out to her ?• Has she ever
been enlightened as to the consequent un
speakable importance of personal character
as to soul of influence? In a word, have
any pieans, director indirect, prepared her
for tier duties? No! but she is a linguist,
a pianist, graceful, admired. What is that
to the purpose ? The jjrand evil of such an
education is the mistaking means for end; a
common error, and the source of half the
moral confusion existing in the world. It is
the substitution of a part for the whole. The
time when young women enter upon life is
the one point to which all points of educa
tion tend, and at which they all terminate;
and to prepare them for that point is the ob
ject of their training. Is it not cruel lo lay
up for them a store of future wretchedness,
by an education which has no period in view
but one; a very short one, and the most un
important and irresponsible of the whole of
life? • * * Exagerated precautions in the
education of one sex have been met by
equally fatal negligence in the education of
the other; and wh.le to girls have been de
nied the very thoughts of love—even in its
noblest and purest foi m—the most effemi
nate and corrupt productions of the heathen
writers have been unhesitatingly laid open
to boys; so that the two sexes on whose re
spective notions of this passion depends the
ennobling or the degrading of their race ;
meet on these terms. The men know noth
ing of love but what they have imbibed from
an impure and polluted source; the women
nothing but what they have clandestinely
gathered from sources almost equally cor
rupt. The deterioration of any feeling must
follow from such injudicious training, more
especially a feeling so susceptible as love of
assuming such different aspects. Let no so
ber minded person bo startled at the deduc
tion hence drawn, that it is foolish to banish
all thought of love from the minds of the
young; since it is certain that girls willthink,
though they may not read or speak of love
and that no early care can preserve them
from being exposed, at a later period, to its
temptation, might it not be as well to use
berethe directing, not the repressing power.
Since woman will love, might it not be as
well to teach them to love wisely? Where
is the wisdom of letting a combatant go un
armed into the field, in order to spare him
the prospect of a combat! Are not women
made to love and tojbe loved; and does not
their future destiny too often depend upon
this passion ? And yet the conventual pred
jucies which banishes its name, subsist still!
The chief object of the education of females
is not so much to fit them to adorn society,
as to vivify and enlighten a home. What a
paradise even this world might become, if
one half the amount of effort expended in
vain attempts to excite the admiration of
strangers, were reserved to vary the amuse
ments and adorn the sacred precincts of
home! Here is ar. inexhaustible field of
effort, and an inexhaustible field of happi
ness; and here women are the undoubted
agents, and they complain of having no
scope for exertion ! The happiness with
out which wealth, honors—nay, intellectual
pleasure, are but gilded toys, it is theirs to
produce and foster; and they have no mis
sion ! The only bliss of Paradise that has
survived the fall is placed in their keeping,
and they have no importance; alas! for the
mental vision of those who see not the things
that belong unto their own peace and the
peace of othera!— Woman's Mission.
Happiness Diffusable by well directed Fe
male Conversation. —The chamber of sick
ness is not the only situation in which the
power of conversing easily and appropri
ately, is of inestimable value. There aie
other cases of trial, of suffering, and of
anxious solicitude, in which the mind would
prey upon itself, ever, to the injury of the
bodily frame, if not diverted from its object,
and beguiled by pleasant conversation. In
seasons of protracted endurance, whensome
anticipated basis of immeasurable good or
evil comes not at the expected moment, and
every fresh disappointment only adds to the
feverish restlessness, which no human con
stitution isstrong enough to sustain unharm
ed ; what amusement could be devised for
such a time, at all comparable to interesting
and judicious conversation, gently touching
Xn the exciting theme, and then leading
by some of those innumerable channels,
which woman’s ingenuity is so quick to dis
cover, and so apt to make use of, for purpo
ses of generosity and kindness ?
, There are fireside scenes, too, of fre
quent and familiar occurrence, in which this
feminine faculty may be rendered more ser
viceable than all other accomplishments—
scenes that derive no sadness from acute or
lively suffering, but are yet characterized by
an inexpressible kind of melancholy, arising
&OW the moodiness of man, or the perverse
* ness of woman, or, perhaps from a combi
nation of domestic disagreeables, attaching
to every member of the family, and form
. ing, over the better feelings, a sort of in
crustation, that must be dissolved or broken
through, before any thing like cheerfulness
can shine forth.
There is perhaps, more real sadness ari
sing from causes like these, than from the
more definite misfortunes with which we are
visited; and not saduess only, but a kind of
resentment bordering on secret malignity, as
if each member of the family had poisoned
the ha| ppiness of the others, and looks are
directed askance, books are opened, an<j
their leaves are methodically folded over;
and yet the long dull evening will not wear
away. ‘
How like a ministering angel then is the
woman, who looks off from her work, di
rects her conversation to that member of the
family who appears most accessible, and
having gained his attention, gives the sub
ject suoh a turn, as to draw the attention of
another, and perhaps a third, until all, at
last, without being aware of it, join in con
versing on the same topic, and the close of
the evening finds them mutually agreeable
to each other. On such occasions, it is by
no means an insignificant attainment to be
able to awaken a laugh; for if two or three
can be brought to laugh together, the in
crustation is effectually broken, and they
will be good friends without farther effort.

Christianity by raising woman to a com
munity of rights and interests with man, has
not taken from her the original attributes of
her sweet nature —it has taken the lowly
shrub from the sunless gorge of the moun
tain cliffs, where it was pining away in soli
tude and gloom. It has engrafted in the
lordly oak, where it first received its being
—and there it has regained itk glory and
pride receiving and giving its shelter, its
shades and its fruit, in common with the
source that nourishes and sustains it.—Maf

Do young ladies, who wear white bon
nets and veils, know they are certain to
freckle in consequence? White is cooler in
the sun and warmer in the shade than black
owing to the principles of radiation, but
while the white bonnet, veil, dress, or hat
diminish the heat of the sun by reflection, it
generally increaseth its light, and it is the
light that plays the mischief with a fair skin
and pretty face.
Young ladies, beware. If you have beau
ty, we scarcely need say, do not despise it.
It is more potent than enchantment, and it
is an overmatch for philosophy. It elicits
instinctive admiration, and triumphs with
out an effort.
We have the highest authority for the
opinion, that perfect loveliness is only to be
found where the features, even when the
most beautiful, derive their peculiar charm
from the sweetness and gentleness of dispo
sition which the countenance expresses.
Origin of the. word Lady . —ln an old
work, of the date of 1762, is the following
account of the term Lady:
“As I have studied more what appertains
to the ladies than gentlemen, I will satisfy
you how it came to pass that women of for
tune were called ladies, even before their
husbands had any title, to convey that mark
of distinction to them. You must know,
that heretofore it was the fashion for a lady
of affluence, once a week, or oftener, to
distribute a certain quantity of bread to her
poor neighbois, with her own hands, and
she was called by them the Leffday, i. e.
the bread giver. These two words were in
time corrupted, and the meaning is now as
little known as the practice which gave rise
to it.”
A beautiful woman who has the qualities
of an accomplished man, is of all conversa
tions in the world, the most delicious. In
her is to be found all the merit of both sex
es.

HOW CAN TOMATOES BE PRE
SERVED?
Mr. Snow — Among the many valuable
directions you have provided for your read
ers, I do not observe any as to the best mode
of putting up and preserving Tomatoes for
winter’s use. This is a vegetable that, for
both health and taste, lias recently become
quite a favorable disli here. So far as I
know, very little care has been taken in this
section to preserve them. Indeed, so little
attention has bfeen given lo their preserva
tion, that many think they can have them
no longer than during the season of their
growth. They are easily raised, produce
abundantly, and, after a little use, all de
clare them to be a rich treat. Their presence
on the table at any, or even with all meals
of the day, is quite acceptable.
A notice from you at this time, as to the
best mode for putting them up for winter,
would be of service to at least one of your
• readers. Yours, &c., P. B. T.
ANSWER BY THE EDITOR.
The Tomato has long been known and
used for culinary purposes in many portions
of Europe, in France, Italy, Germany, Hol
land, and within a few yeare Las become a
general favorite in this country.
Dr. Bennett, a medical professer in one
of our colleges, considers it on invaluable
article of diet. He ascribes to it high med
icinal properties, and declares,
“ Ist. That it (the tomato) is one of the
most powerful deobstrueuts of the Materia
Medico, and that in all of those affections or
the livpr and other organs where calomel is
indicated, it is probably the most effective
and least harmful remedial agent known in
the profession.
“2d. That a chemical extract will be ob
tained from it, which will altogether super
sede the use of calomel in the cure of dis
ease.
“3d. That he has successfully treated
serious diarrhqea with this article alone.
“4tli. That when used as an article of
diet, it is almost a sovereign remedy for dys
pepsia or indigestion.
“sth. That persons removing from the
east or north to the south or west, should by
all means make use of it as an aliment, as
it would in that event save them from the
danger attendant upon those violent billious
attacks to which almost all unacclimated
peisons are liable.
“6tb. Thatthe citizcnsin ordinary should
make use of it either raw, cooked, or in the
form of a catsup, with their daily food, as it
is the most healthy article in the Materia
Abncnturia.”
Professor Rafinesquc, of France, says:
“ It is every where deemed a healthy vege
table, and an invaluable article of food.”
Professor Dickens writes : “ I think it
more wholesome than any other acid sauce.”
Professor Dungleson says: “It may be
looked upon as one of the most wholesome
and valuable esculents that belong to the
vegetable kingdom.”

It is considered efficient in curing indiges
tion and diseases of the liver and lungs. A
writer in the Farmer’s Register says, it has
been tried by several persons, to bis knowl
edge, with decided success. They were
afflicted with chronic cough, the primary
cause of which in one case was supposed to
be diseased liver—in another, diseased lungs.
It mitigates, &sometiineseffectually checks,
afitof coughing. It was used in a dry state,
with a little sugar mixed with it, torenderit
more agreeable to the taste. The writer
expresses a conviction, that if freely used
in August and September, it would prove a
complete antidote to billious fevers.
Various are the methods which have been
instituted for preparing this article for diet,
which adds to the variety of taste and ren
ders it in some, one of its forms, agreeable
to every individual. We give the various
recipes that have come under our observa
tion:
Daily use of the Tomato. —Cut up with salt,
vinegar and pepper, as you do cucumbers,
and eat away as fast as you can.
How to Stew Tomatoes. —Take your to
mato from the vine, ripe ; slice up, put in
Ihe pot over the fire without water; stew
them slow, and when done put in a small
lump of butter, and eat as you do apple
sauce. If you chose, a little crumb oFbread
or pulverized crackers may be added. What
you have left, put away in ajar for winter.
Tamato Omelet.. —When stewed, beat up
a half dozen new laid eggs, the yolk and
white separate; wheneach are well beaten,
mix them with the tomato—put them in a
pan and beat them up; you have a fine ome
let.
To keep them the year round. —Take them
full ripe, and scald in hot water, to facili
tate the operation of taking off the skin;
when skinned, boil well in a little sugar or
salt, but no water, and then spread in cakes
about an inch thick, in the sun. They will
dry enough in three or four days to pack
away in bags, which should hang in a dry
room.
lime to Pickle Tomatoes. —Pick them
when they are ripe. Put them in layers in
a jar, with garlicks, mustard seed, horse
radish, spices, See. as you like, filling up the
jar; occasionally putting a little salt, pro
portionally to the quantity laid down, and
which is intended to preserve the tomato.
When the jar is full, pour on the tomatoes
cold cider vinegar (it must he pure) till all is
covered, and then cork up tight and set
away for winter.
To malic Tomato Preserves. —Take them
while quite small and green—put them in
cold clarified syrup, with an orange cut in
slices to every two pounds of tomatoes. —
Simmer them over a slow fire for two or
three hours. There should ba equal weights
of sugar add tomatoes. If very superior
preserves are wanted, and two fresh lemons
so as to get none of the white part; squeeze
out the juice, mix the parings, juice and
cold water sufficient to cover the tomatoes,
and put in a few peach loaves and powdered
ginger tied up in bags. Boil the whole gent
ly for three fourths of an hour, take up the
tomatoes, strain the liquor, and put with it
a pound and a half of white sugar for each
pound of tomatoes. Put in the tomatoes
and boil them gently till the syrup appears
to have entered them. In the course of a
week, turn the syrup from them, heat it
scalding hot, and turn it on to tire tomatoes.
Prepared in this way, they resemble West
India sweetmeats.
Save your own seed. —lt will be recollec
ted that we have from time to time, called
the attention of our readers to this matter,
but with what effect we have not yet learned,
and we hope our friends will bear with us,
while we make a few more remarks, as we
have always thought it a very important
item in the welfare and prosperity of our
people, lo save as much as possible, and to
use ns much economy as would be conveni
ent for the interest and happiness of all con
cerned. Permit us then to make a few en
quiries, as to whether every one is not more
orloss interested in saving all the Seed they
possibly can, and therebysave large amounts
of money that are yearly sent out of our
State, for Garden and Field Seeds. Can
not the Farmers and Gardeners in Tennes
see save their own Seed ? Cannot they use
a little more industry and hard work, in
stead of sending abroad for what they can
raise themselves? Would it not look bet
ter? Would not the seed raised here do as
well as those from a distance? Suppose
friend C. had to purchase all of his Seed, he
is a large farmer, where would be the profits?’
Gen. H. and friend TANARUS., all excellentfarmers,
what do they say to it; why, sir, if we were
to buy our Seed every year, we would he
broken up—we would have nothing to cat,
drink or to wear, at the end of the year!
and here are thousands upon thousands of
dollars sent from among us, just for Seed,
when we can save them almost as well as
any people. All that is wanting is perse
verance and hard manual labor, and if we
had been doing this for the last ten years,
we would have to-day a greater amount of
means in the country than we have, by at
least a million! Oh! where is our extrava
gance to end? We do most sincerely trust,
thatthe farming community will arouse from
the lethargy in whiclithey have been soloug
bound, and instead of importing Seed, let
them export, then we would, in a few years,
hear of the glorious results—we would soon
have peace and plenty abounding in the
land, and not only in this article, but a great
many other things that we could mention,
that would savO us immense sums. Why
are these things so? Are we to use no ex
ertion or industry in these matters? Are
we to stand all “the day idle,” and look on
as with the eye of a careless observer ? No
—no—let us be up and doing. Let usstand
forth in all our strength—laboring for and
with each other; then we would soon feel
the effects of good times —we would cease
our complainings, and plenty flowing in our
pa h like a river. We would, in conclusion,
again say to our friends, save your own
Garden and Field Seeds, that we may open
a rich, heavy market the coming Fall—that
we may induce our neighbors to purchase at
home, rather than abroad. Will some of
our correspondents say a word or two on
this important subject?— Tennessee Agricul
turist.

A SCIENTIFIC LOVE LETTER,
Picked up in the Street—A True Copy.
Bangor county, Indiana State, Saturday
Morning, 9 o’clock, A. M., At home in
Bed.
My dear sweet Henry—How I want to
see your pretty grey eyes. Oh 1 how horror
stricken am lat your long abscence. The
Lord knows I want to see you, and feel
your little heart beat like a tilt hammer
right close up agin mine. Oh! sweet Henry,
now do come out and let’s get married, for
if you love me I wont fight you a bit. John
has moved to his new place, and Sal does
live so snug—but she fights him a little some
times. Peggy Sykes is got a baby, and
daddy says I must get married, for I have
let it run too long already.
God bless you, if you are not blessed
enough by being so sweet. Oh, that I could
see you once more, to kiss the single tinge
from the rose on your cheeks. O, what a
lilly you are, and a rose bud to the morning
of its virgin blooms, hut of heaven born love
beaming with the kinder blendings of the
rainbow—the sign of peace.
Oh, you sunflower, you pink, you holly
hock, you tulip, you cabbage. O, you sweet
owl. Come and comfort your distressed,
and sorrow-smitten, dying, dead Caroline.
Oh, come and see me once more, and let
your presence revive your drooping Caro
line like the morning fogs revives the dead
grass in the pasture field. Oh, my dear
Henry, how I do love your big grey-eyes.
When shall these weeping eyes—these
eyes red with weeping—these eyes of mine,
again feast themselves on your lovely, round
red head ? Oh, you sweet creature, you
essence of sugar candy. You have been
gone this two months and to me, poor me,
it does seem like a hundred years. One
more day, sweet Henry will kill, yes kill
your fond and affectionate Caroline, for I
wonder that my love for you haint kilt me
long ago. Your dear presence would tome,
be more than a cool spring to the thirsty
traveller of the desert, more than the green
grass to the hungry ox, more than the peb
bled pool to the little deks; yes, more than
a lump of sugar to a spoilt child. Why,
then, will you not come, yes, run fly, swift
as lightening, to kiss the tear from the dim
pled cheeks of your true love.
O, bleak and wild is the house, the gar
den, the field, and the world without thee
—yes tliee, my dumpling, my jewsharp, my
eel, my rooster, my sugar lump. God bless
thee! may thy days be many, and long, and
sweet, and fullof joy. Oh, haste and come
and kiss your patridge, your goose, your
turkledove, bless your sweet soul,
CAROLINE.
P. S. I drempt last night we was mar
ried. Oh, sweet Henry come and make
my dream come to pass for once, and 1 will
always love you for it.
The Parson’s Bools. —The Rev. Mr. F.
of Connecticut, was a whole souled and
obliging man. He would deny his neigh
bors nothing in the way of accommodation,
which in conscience they could ask. But as
a sort of offset, it was hinted that lie claim
ed a return in the good graces of certain of
the wives, daughters, sisters, and so forth,
of his much obliged neighbors. Whether
common report belied the parson or not, the
result was tliesamo, and many a high joke
both sly and open, was passed off at his ex
pense.
A young man, a neighbor of his, wish
ing to appear in boots on a certain occasion,
and having none of his own, went to ask
the loan of the parson’s. “Yes Joel,” said the
good natured man, “you can have the boots,
but you must remember to return them.”
“Sartingly,” returned Joel, ‘.‘l’ll fetch
! ’em home right away, as soon as ever Pm
done with ’em, and that ’ll be to-morrow
evening, if nothin’ happens.”
The parson looked out for liis boots on the
morrow, but they did not come. It wasthe
same on the next day, and the day after,
and so on for three weeks. In all that time
Joel did not show his face, and the bootless
parson began to lose all patience: when one
day meeting the delinquent with a bool in
each hand he exclaimed ;
“ Well, young man, you are a pretty fel
low, are you not?”
“Why, so the gals say,” replied Joel,
showing his teeth.
“You forgot to bring home my boots as
you promised.”
“0 no, I did’nt forget Mr. F ; I
sot out the very next day evening, to fetch
’em home. But just as I got agin the road
that leads to Deacon Thompson’s—you know
the deacon has got some plaguy handsome
darters—well, jest as I got agiti the road,
your hoots would’nt move an inch furder,
and I was obliged to stop and talk along
with the gals awhile, till by’m by it got to
be so late thinks 1, I wont carry the boots
home to-night.”
“ Well, what hindered you from bringing
them home the next evening?”
“ Why, the next evening I sot out with
’em again, and with a good deal of whippin
and spurrin, Igotein past the road that leads
to the deacon’s and now thinks I, I’ll get
along well enough. Well, and so it turned
out, until I came to the lane that turns off
to Col. Woodcock’s; and there, as true as
I’m alive, the boots stopped again, and they
would’nt budge a step till I’d goneand talk
ed with Ruth Woodstock awhile. So it got
to bo late in the evening.”
“But that don’t account for the whole
three weeks.”
“No; but I’ll tell you how it wa9. The
very next evening I determined the boots
should go home whether or no. So I sot
out to fetch ’em away round cross lots, so as
not to pass the deacons’ road, nor the cur
nal’s lane. The two greatest difficulties
was got over and now, thinks I, I’ll take the
boots: as I came opposite the widow Smith’s
they would stop again. And, sO it was, eve
ning, after evening, until this morning, I
tho’t I’d set out in the day time, and see
what I could do then.”
The Parson, vexed as he was, could not
help smiling at Joel’s account of the perver
sity of his boots, and congratulated him on
his success in getting them thus far ou
their way home.
“Why, to be sure,” said Joel, “I have
been rather lucky in getting by, as it were
all the most dangerous places, but I had to
work pretty hard for it, though it was day
time, for the boots kept a tarnal twichinand
yerkin; as I came past the deacon’s and the
curnal’s and the widow’s. But I took the
bits in my teeth, sot my face straight afore
me, and here I am. And now parson F ,
if you will just take the charge of the boots
yourself, I’ll be much obliged to you.”
“O certainly; Joel, and glad to get them
so.”
Joel handed over the hoots, and said, as
lie turned about to go back, “I’m very much
obliged to you for the use on ’em, Mr. F
toashavin; hut the truth on’t is they’re got
a tarnation nack of going to see the gals 1”
