THE ©@[!iJ[S)©Ql^ o 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. —Mrs. S. S. Ellis. 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 fit- [ 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. THE F h "IS M 1 R, “ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy’d can never be supplied.” From ihe Western Farmer. 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.” S3 d> Iff EMU IB Ifc SHU S5 (ff IB Ih & AXt 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. THE HIU M©® O^T- Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. 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” AWE [j£T EGMEM T® „ A Card —To the Ladies !
