>Vomtui—Her JVision.
Our groat Creator gave to man physical
strength, and imparted to his charac'er a
sternness that needed a softening influeneo;
which he lias found in liis help meet \vj
man; with whose nairte is associated gen
tleness and affection. Her mission on
earth is one of love, and h >\v heavy the
responsibility attached to it, Women of
our country, have we weigh'd it as we
shouM ? Let us individually profound the
quea'ion to our own hearts—are we fulfill
ing our mission ? Let 11s look around us
how many children of want, misfortune and
sorrows have looked to us for the assist
ance, comfort and sympathy, that would
have gladonod their hearts, and turned
their flattering feet to paths 1 f truth and
u efutnesj. But alas! f>rus, how have
wo met those appeals? OfDm have we
been prompted by tfiti impulses of ot;r
hearts to take tho erring bv the hand, and
encourage their feeble efforts to retrace
their steps; yet we have neglected this im
perative duty, and why ? Shall wo give
the reason ? We blush to own it—it is a
fear of what the world may say, and we
pervert cur mission by hunting them down
Ah ! where is onr vaunted independence?
We turn from tho suffering, and distressed,
with cold tones anl colder looks ; our
purses may havo given pecuniary aid, but
there Was something in pur power to give,
far dearer to then! than geld ; sontething
that w-ould but have enriched U3 by impar
ting it to them.
Our cotin try too, fee! tho effect of our
derelictions. Our influence over man is
great, let ui exert it to undermine the evil
in liis nature, and increase and strengthen
the good. Ah !wh t a groat level- of mor.
a! and social reform it is in our power to
become.
Our mission is love, lot us feel it, and
love it—undeviiiting'y adhere to the rights,
regardless of what the world thinks or says
—looking to eternity for our reward.

‘■You have hoard me Misak of Siephon
Jenkins, Matilda.”
‘■Yes une'e.”
“Well—another cup of toa, if you please
—he is coming up tomorrow oa a week’s
visit.”
“You dint, moan to soy so uncle? 1 ’ cx
elriraed Matilda.
“And why dont I, M'ss Matilda?” There
is nolhing to fuuinun such a link of con
sternation to year face ”
‘ln cause if it skould’tnt happen to be
ogreabie.”
“Os e urse ho is agreab'e, at any rale
it is desirable for you to find him so, kiiuo
lie ii yi ur prospective husband.”
“My prop c'i c husband! What can
you mean, mule ?” inquired Ma'ilda open
ing her eyes in amazi in nt.
•‘I thought you undcrstobl it—your es
tate-! j -.in, and it is eminently proper there
fore that you should unite them by nnr
ringo.”
“Avery good reason, certainly,” said
.Matilda, with a curl on her lip, it makes
little difference I suppose then wbe'beruUr
dispositions arc computable < r not.”
“Oh, they will 1 asily adjust themselves
after tuarri-igi, and tho two will rnaka stub
a handsome nstat .”
t Sup; os | [couldn’t fancy h : m wdl/’otigh
to accept his uncle ?” asked All
tdda demurely.
“If you should dream of such a thing as
rofusa', I should disinherit you Y*ou are
awirol suppose that all your property
eotnes from me, and that at any time I caa
recall it ”
“That woul 1 lv> a pity certainly, said
Matilda in a lively strain, “for 1 sli mil
have to take in wishing, or something of
that kin Ito support wysell, and I have
such an apprtito.”
Mr. Parker ptuded in spite of himself,
and evident'y looked upon his neice as one
who would readily submit to his wishes.
‘ One question more uncle, suppose he
a' ould not fancy your humble ntise, and
conclude so pay his addresses elsewhere?”
“I would never speak to tho puppy
again.”
“And you would’nt disinherit me then
uhcle ?”
“Os course not you gipsy, it would not
be your fault.”
“It would be moHifying to have him re
pot me —h there anything that he particu
larly dislikes in a woman, do you know?”
“I once beard him say that he could’eat
bear a li'crarv woman,*’ Baid her uncle af
ter some hdk-ction. “All sorts of strong
minded women arc his aversion. Hut then
you know Mattie that you aro not strung
minded.”
“'Phan?: you ancle very moeh. That is
as much as to siy tha' T am weak-minded.”
“No such thing you gipsy But there
i. one thing m are l want to tell you, and that
is that lam called away to New York by
business, tfhicb wdl de‘ain me tho whole
length of his stay. So you will have to en
tertain him by yourself Mind and pliy
your cards welL and I shall exject to find
the marriage day fixed when 1 return ”
“Ob dear, what sbnll I ever do with that
horri 1 man a wbol> we k?”
“I daresay you will be dead in love wiih
him ly the time I come back. Voll winy
remember me 11 bun when he arrives, and
toll him how much I regret not being hero
to welcome him.”
T hat night Matilda kept awak9 a long
time concocting a plan by which the might
offend tho prejudices of the expected visiter,
and throw the burdtn of a refusal upon
hiifc. I’or well she knew that if be once
proposed, her urcle would bo very angry
'jf she rejected him, and very probably
would carry out his tlircat to which he had
given utterance.
It was about twelve o’clock the next day,
that a tall young man of very se-Lus aspects,
ascended Mr. Parker’s front steps and
rang tho bell.
lie was ushered into the drawing roam,
where after w lit,ing abcut a half-hour, he
was joined by Mi-is Matilda.
The young lady 1 was bv ni meant look

her collar was awry, anl there was a very
perceptible stain of ink upon lior finger.

“I Lope your respected ii'clc is well,”
said Stephen Jenkins, in the measured tones
of a man old bey md liis years.
“I would not marry soc'i a stiff old pok -

‘‘My uncle regri tt vory Much not being
able to 111 'ot you, bu* he is oillod to New
York on business. 1 tru.it however that I
shall Ha able to entertain von.”
“That Id 1 not question,” ssid the visitor,
with a low attempt at gallantry.
“I am inclined to think ho will before he
goes,” thought Mitibla
Looking at her fingers, she remarked
complacently as if for the first time (die had
observed the stain of ink. “I hop* you will
excuse the appeiranco of tny fingers, I have

“You were wrili ig lottcrs [suppose said
Stephen ”
“On, rot at all. I was wiring an article
on ‘\Y r o nan’s Rights,’ for tho ‘llugle of

Mr. Jenkins started uneasily.
“1 suppose you are in the h;tbit of scoing

“No,” said he t-t iHy.
“Ah! you don’t kuow what you lnso.

Matildy interrupted herself to ring the
bell.
“Jane,” said she to th 1 servana, “you may
go up stairs and bring A >wn a piauuscript
which you will find on the tabic.”
“ A w’.rat, ma’am ? ’
“A manuscript--a sheet of paper with
writing on it. Poor Jine”sho con imi'd
after lie servant had" gone but, ha would
not be 3o ignorant, i) man had not denied
to u.- women tho adv: ntagrs of education
which he clans for himself.’
By this tini: J .ne had returned with the
m mu'-cript.
“If you like Air Jink :o=, 1 will real you
what I h ive written.”
Mr. Jenkcns looked dismayed, but man
aged to utter a feeble—“Oecrtainly ”
Matilda in an emphatic manner, began to
read as follows.
Mrs Kottod:—Permit mo to raiso my

there should be no tl ;-ti 1 u-ion in p tint of
occiipitiou between men and women?’ Ex
claimed the sod t; Stephen, ornc-struck.
“VVhy shoubl there bo? said Matilda, with
spiiit. “Dc you doub‘ whether w in iu ha<
an iote loot equal to that of man ?
‘ Is th ere a female Sbakespea*e ?” a.-ked
Mr Jenkins.
“A cs,” said M 1 tilde promptly —“Did you
nevr read Mrs, Browning’* 1 0,1ns?”
“Icu i’tsuy that I have,” returned Ste
phen.
“Ah, then ;I shall have tho idoasuro of
making you acquainted with hor.”
She rang Ihe b 11.
“Jane,” said she, gi to my room and
bring down the book you will find on the ta
ble.”
Jane did so.
“We bnve an hour before dimor, it room*,
said Matilda looking atl cr watch—“in what
way can wo better improve it, than to per
suing together this uol lc miuumen' of ge
nius ?
Mr. Jenkins link’d toriifiol ; but before
he had time to raise any objections, Mutil
da coinmenc-d.
She read a'oud fiithfully f.r the hpur re
ferred to—it s«emcd three hotirs to the un
happy Stephen—who had not tho slightest
apprehension of poetry and description.
He was quite do ig'ited when tho dinn-r
bell rang, and so was Matilda ia her secret
heart.
“I am afraid, - ’ said she, “we shall have
to ret;’ from otlr reading till after dinner,
I but by odnnienii ig immediately afterward ,
we may gir a quarter thr ugh by tea time.’
“How many pages are in the poem ?” the
voting man inquired be itatingly.
“Oily a little more more than fur hun
bundred. siq” was th - enoour iging < ej !y.
The dinner proved to be n- t a very so
cial meal Matilda conCined he.-s; If entire
ly to literary subjects, and evaded all at
tempts to change the topic.
“G. od gracious,’ ’hough: fee young man,
“and the young girl I was to m rry, I’d as
, snr-n marry a dictionary, ahhMigh she is
pretty, but she is a string minded woman—
j 1 should lie talked to death *a less than a
month. ’
1 St-’pben Jenkins stopped two days f but
l at the end,of that time, announced that he
! shi uliT not ft-: able to remain 1 ngrr. Dur
ing that time the poor man had heard more
I jootry thau ever lx fire in his life, and had
conceive! a deadly hatred agirnst the whole
tribe of female authors, cspocidly Mrs
Browning.
“Where is Mr. Jenkins ?* inquired Mr.
Parker, on hia return.
“Gotio. uncle,”sail Matilda.
“Gone ! when did heg>?”
“He only stopped a oouplo of days.”
“Why, bo was to havo s oppol a week—
what was tho mat’er with him ?”
“I think uncle bo was disappointed in
uic,” sail Matilda, demurely.
“l)il he leave no mossige for 1110
“Hero is an de, uncle !”
Afr. Parker hastily broke open tho missive
and read as follows :

Stephen Jenkins.
“Whv f fho puppy has had the audacity
to resign his pretentions to your hand,” ox
elaimed the iudiguant uncle.
“Then l cant, lie married 1” enquired Ma
tilda, in comical disappointment.
‘ Yes, you (shall marry tjic first man that
off rs.”
It was very remarkable, that on the very
next, diy, Edward Manly should have asked
Mr Parkers permission to address his nioo

The marriage took place witben a few weeks,
and I don’t think ho bsti cV r repented mar

IRISH lIKOLLIKY.
An amusing story of Dains Herrington.
Iloeorder of Bristol, is related by oun of
the English Press. Having to appear for
:i phiintiftj in n case at Clonrnoll, Lo let in
to the defendant in measured terms. 'Lite
individual inveighed against not present,
only heard of tho invectives. Alter Bar
rington, however, had got hack to Dublin,
the defendant, a Tippet nn-y man named
Foley, lost rio time in paying his compli
ments to tin counsel. Hu rode nil day
aud night, nnd covered wi h sLeut, arrived
lie fore Barrington's rus’tlencc in Huroourt
street Duhl n. Throwig the reins of his
sm iking horse over tho railing, of the area
he announced his arr'vnl by a thundering
knock at tho door. Barringto./s vnh*t an
swered the summons, and, opnin; the
s'.reet door, beheld tho nppir.it on of tho
rough coded Tippornrry ii e-enter, with
u large stick under his arm an l the sleet
sticking to his hush whiskers.
“Is your master tip V” demanded the vis
itor, in a voice that, gave some intimatiofl
of the object of his journey.
‘No,’ answered thu man
•1 hen gve him my compliments, and
say Mr. Foley—lie’ll know the name — wilJ
ho g’ad to sec him
The valet went tip stairs, and told his
mastc, who was in bed, the purport of his
visit.
‘ Then don’t let Air. Pol y in, foti your
life,” said Barrington, ‘ for its not a hare
11 r a brace of ducks that ho lias come to
present 1110 with.”
Tho man was leaving the bcd-io m when
a rough wet coat pushed by him, wh !e a
thick v ice said, ‘Bv your leave,’ and at
the suns time Air Foley entered the bed
room
‘You know my’ business, sir, said lie to
B i ting on; ‘I have made a journey to
to ch you nian-crs, and its not my purpose
tti return uutil 1 havo broken every bo;io in
your body,’ and at tho same time ho cut
a figure of eight with hisshil lah before the
chcvaJ glass.
• You do not mean t(i say you would
murder ms in bed ?’ exclaimed 11,iris, win
bad as much humor as coo! courage
‘No,’ replied the otlie', 'bat get up as
soon as yen can ’
‘Y es replied Dains, ‘that you might fell
trie the rnoirieif. f piit myself out of the
blankets.'
‘No,’ replied tho other, ‘I pledge you
my word not to touch you until you are
out of bod ’
‘A'mi won’t ?’
‘No.’
‘Upon your honor.’
‘Up n my honor.’
‘ibis IS enough,” said Pains, turning
over ami making himself comfortable, and
seem ng as though He mount lo fall asleep
‘I tp«vo the honor of an Irish gen lonian,
and may rest A* r,a(e as though 1 were un
der a eas lc gu rd 1
Thi T-rpperarry sa'amar.der looked
marvellously astonished at tho pretended
sleeper, but soon Dains began to snore.
‘Halloa,’ sad Air. Foley ‘uiut’t you go—
big to get up?’
'No,’ said Dains, ‘I have the word of an
Irish gentleman that he will not strike me
in bed, and I am sore l am not going to
get up and have tny bones broken. I.will
never g t up again In the mean, Afr
Foley, if you should want vour breakfast,
ring the bell; the best in the house is nt
your service. The morning paper will bo

The Tip had fur, iu him as well as feroe
i'y ; he could not resis the cunning of the
counsel, “tret up Mr. Barrington, for ia
bed, or out ■ f bed, t have not the pluck to
hurt so droll a heart.”
The result was, that in les-than hour a‘-
te/wards, Dames and bis iuteuded murderer

AFFECTION.
We seldom moot with such an instance
of affection nnd self-sacrifice as that dis
played lately by a poor Irishman in this
city. lie had been in the employ of a
gentleman who lias a largo number
engaged, and when the first pay day cam-,,
liis employer could only give him a dollar
on his week’s work. The see mil payday
came round in its tirn; the omployer paid
off his hands nnd was congratulating him
self that his money hold out, when looking
urounl, he discovered the Irishman to
whom he had only given a dollar the week
before. The g nl'enian felt deeply morti
fic<] at overlooking him, and his consc
qtiont inability to pay h'm off. Bui 1 he—
“ James, I am sorry, but 1 havo only ona
dollar for you again. VVhy did you not
speak?”
“Sure sir, you was busy, and I could
wa' t your convenience,’ win the reply.
“Dan you possibly get a'oug with a dol
lar ? I will get you some more Alonday
morning.”
“A dollar will do—l’ve bean living on a
dollar a \vook snipe I’ve been in tho coun
try I’m savin’ up for the wfo and chil—
der in ould Iro'and."
“But your shoes are off your feet,” and
your coat is nearly gone—you'll want
some clothing."
“Devil a bit do my feet car’, or back tii
ther, for that—l’ll let, the money save up
in your hands till I git enough to send for
tlie old wortiap. Here's three dollars Fve,
saved, which your honor will plaze to keep
for mo.”
“Wait hero a moment ’ said the gentle
man ns he stepped out. In a few minutes,
however, ho returned with a substantial
pair of boots and a comfortable coat foi
liis honest workman. ’,
Tne tours rolled down, the poor fellow’s
cheeks) as he received the gifts; and as tho
door opened for his egress, he murmur
ed!
‘ God bless your honor—the wife’s
heart will soon bj aisy, and the children’s
too I” —Cincmnatti Nonpareil.
