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. Fi igliti-iiiu; A Lover. BY CAROLINE F. PRESTON. ‘■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 ing li-r best. Her hair was logoly arranged, her collar was awry, anl there was a very perceptible stain of ink upon lior finger. “Mr. Jenkins I presume,” she -aid. lie young .t* 1t! man l owed, id 1> >k and curiosly a- Ins onto tiioer “ Aud I pre mine lam addressing Miss P.rker. Oai hotuine lowed 'nor hoad i 1 the ass mi live. “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 - f>r all tho warid,” wia th -n >t very e jnipli ment try rcfl-’cii in of Matilda. ‘‘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 boen writing alllli' morning, and oouldu’t remove all traces of the itik. “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 Freedom *- ” Mr. Jenkins started uneasily. “1 suppose you are in the h;tbit of scoing that piper,” sai 1 M tlilda. “No,” said he t-t iHy. “Ah! you don’t kuow what you lnso. Ooinpi s.:d and edi fed entirely by ftimalcn. But. perhaps 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 voice in trump t tones against tho despotic rule of ntan over our down tr< and len sex Enlightened as we a;o disposed to consider the present generation, is it not :i disgrace and a burning shann tint man shou’d 111 )- nopolizi ad the otfieorsof Inner and proffiq aud leave to his eq 1 d—lull 1 not say his superior in point of intellect—on!) a few uni siribleand labor'oss post.

VVhy should we not see a female in the chair of S.a'e, and— “ That is ail I had written, Mr. Jenkins, when y m earn said M iti! 11 b e iking off the reading ‘Am will easily understand the idea that I was about to develops • nnd I have no and mbt you will agree with 1110 ” “I) 1 you real y tleuk, Miss Parker, that 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 : My 1> ir Sir —ln order to prevent nip underAaiuling, I ought to sny that I don’t think it will ho well to adhoro titho fool ish comp let wlfieh we entered into sotno J-ico, in regard t> my marriage with your nice.
