Mr Editor:—l i ave somewhere read,
that Satan, to secure more certainly his
j dominion, places in every habitable -pot,
a number of little emissaries to watch his
cause, undo the work- of Christ, trails
plant virtue, and give loose reins to vice,
“here the voice of prayer is heard, here
these little ministers for ewl, cluster, and
with determination, industry and ready
tact, even whisper temptations, well suited
to each saint and mourner, to draw them
back to sin Thus, as virtue prevails, the
work requires g eater effort., and their
number increases as the call demands ;■
but if vice lias the ascendency, t-atan’s
cause is so well established that but few
remain to protect and envourag it. Now
Mr. Editor, how many of these little imps

iin ( uthberl 1 How many do you think
arc needed here ? I)o you not suppose
: Satan with all his cunning, is too wise to
leave force where none is needed, while
h s cause is thriving and so well establish
ed in our midst ? Depend upon it, he
has taken them from us lately, and they
are swarming iike busy bees out at Shiloh
Rohnbeth and those other churches where
the’ souls of Christians are prospering and
sinners arc awakened. Perhaps he lias
left one. I think I can see that lonely
one .now perched upon the Court-House
root, a shrivelled miniature of his Satanic
majesty, nodding to every passer by,—
for why should he keep awake, when there
is nothing for him to do, when sin stalks
baldly, without fear, beneath ? From
morn till i. ght he sleeps, and if by chance
some noise should break his rest, his fien
di-h laugh te'ls his delight es some aban
doned drunkard staggers to his Home end
imprecations echo and rc-echo through
our streets, Wednesday and Thursday
nights he tries to rouse himself as the
chureh-uoing bill calls up a feeble baud
to worship Qod ; but lie knows how few
are gathered there, and in mocking delight
he laughs a chuckling satisfied ha! ha!
and again he gives himself to slumber.--
Did you ask if lie trembled on our Sab -
balk] Alas! no. He hears the sound
ol praise and prayer with lit tie or no
alarm. He hears the gay laugh, the fri
volous conversation—he sees the display,
the ostentation and pride that often fill
our sanctuaries He sees, too, the crowd
that lounge in our streets, to while away
the tedious hours of the holy Sabbath ;
knows that though decencj has closed the
front doors of his engines of destruction,
the lack doors are open to welcome nil
who can shake a penny from their col
lapsed purses

WriitHi f>r the Reporter
Unveil the past in imagination, and
lo> k back throu.h the brilliant vista of a
few centuries, and see how our predeces
sors advanced without the influence of
that magical machinery, which Education
has placed in our own favored hands.—
Iho situation of this now bright and
beautiful world, must have been gloomy
amid its rude and uncivilized, illiterate
condition. Scarcely a spark of intellect,
which now shines so brilliantly in the
countenances of tire inhabitants of this
fair laud,, could he seen to illumine their
faces. The most ignorant were the fe
ma es, who now render .the world happier
ami more refined—her de position being
so loving and gentle, so pure, guileless
and untainted with faults so common to
mortality, that she wins the love of al!
may kind by her amlabilty. and her virtue
What wretchedness must prevail within
the bosom of every thinking human being,
where the pure fountain of Knowledge
has never yet opened its sparkling and
glittering gems into the hearts oi the fair,
sex.
As this vast Univer e has advanced in
•Science, woman has become more and
mere educated it is Imped she will con
tinue to render the world happier and
happier', by the brilliant; career she is now
pursuing, until time is no more. It is
true, the lot of woman has been deemed
humble a.ml insignificant by the hemtless
and thoughtless satirist; but whether sire
possesses the intellectual power of the
“ lords of creation” or not, who does not
know her silent . rid resistless influence ?
From home, man may rule, but at home,
woman rides. In domestic life, woman’s
authority is supreme ; and is it not here
that some of the most valuable lessons
are taught, which will lead to everlasting
happiness? If the warning voice of an
affectionate mother be heard and cherish
ed, though her lovely form may be laid in
the silent tomb, yet her words are remem
bered usif spoken yesterday, and will ov
er be the beacon-light to lend you onward
and upward, to the glorious standard of
all that is high, noble and great. It
will make you boldly shake off the cold
chains that binds your soul to earth,
“ )nd up artd d* pari,
To.lif#* Ariel to ft nr y,
With an Cndiituiayed Jipftrt.’*
When, in after years, you have become
one of those of whom “ Fame speaks
loud with her clarion voice in regal halls,”
and each shaft of your lofty and sublime
intellect is followed by the long, enthusi
astic peals ot popular acclaim, sweet
memoiies of that dear mother will come
over the wearied soul like angel’s whis
pers, calm its raging passions, and make
it purer and better, and prepare it to fin’d
a blissful home in the Heaven of the
Righteous.
Knowledge is indeed a tie between
man and woman ; ignorance a barrier aud
torment, ’therefore, if you wish to pro
duce happiness around, educate women,
and you will refine the world. Yes, make
it an Elysium, such as were the shining
fields ot the Ashfodel. Man may woo
the bright and burning star of Fame,
may bind around his brow the undying
wreath of immortality—his wild and way
ward heart may bow to none, not even to
iis Maker, yet if woman be educated, she
| will truly be his guardian angel,and will,
j by kind words, lead him to place hia
brightest and most radiant hopes on ano
ther world, where the storm-clouds of
s now never come, aud the peans of glo
ry forever dwell. ELOISE.

1 rue Beauty.
Much has been said aud written upon
the beauty of the fair. The elegant
form, the rosy cheek, the arched brow,
the flashing eye, aud the glossy ringlets
of the maiden, have .been described by the
poet, and delineated by the pencil of the
artist. They have formed topics of con
versation in the private . circle, and fur
nished a theme for the l OsM’um ; aud from
the fact that Hiece attributes of the fe
male have been so frequently spoken of by
otlier poisons of every rank in society, un
opinion has obtained to a very great ex
tent, that they constitute the real beauty
of the fair. A handsome person, decked
in a drapery of the most beautiful and
delicate texture, setting off tho figure to
the best advantage, and vicing with the
master piece of the world’s great artist,
is thought by many to be the perfection
of female beauty. There are thousands,
too, with hoary hairs and time-honored
brows, who yield to the opinion. But do
these traits constitute the true beauty of
t he female ?
It must be admitted that there is some
thing in the syfmnetrieaf form, the polish
ed brow, the dimpled cheek, and the s! in
ing tresses of the young girl, that please
tiie eye and enchant the heart. But how
soon do they perish. They fade like hues
from the flower, when nipped by autum
nal blasts. Con we adm.t that the female
possesses nc higher charm, no more dura
ble beauty than lira ?
I lie true beauty o‘s tho female is Mind,
i lie God of Nature has endowed Woman
with an immortal mind, susceptible of tie
highest culture, whose tires are destined
to burn with hndimmed lu-.tre tinoujh in
terminable ages. To the Mind—not to
the exterior grucefe of the person-*-we are
to 100,, for thp real charm of female cha
racter. Ihe true beauty of YVoman, is
tire beauty of intellect, with a cultivation,
of the finer feedings of the heart, these
united, constitute the character of one
calculated to make all happy who may
chance to fall within her sphere The
sphere of Woman is home ; there she
sways her sceptre, nd if she governs by
kindness and affection, has the power to
accomplish whatever she may desire, —
YVe are sympathetic creatures, and when
force or threats would have no power to
move—but rather tend to aggravate
kind looks and gentle smiles can melt
the heart < f stone, and cause it to be su
bordinate to the one that offers them
Yes, the- electric soul is quickly charged
with the same kind and gentle spirit—the
same heavenly (ire burns npoti the altar
of eafch heart, forming a unison of feeling
and concert of action. Hence, the fe
male who lias an amiable disposition, and
well cultivated intellect, possesses a divine
charm.
When a man connects his fate in the
most tender of earth’s alliances, with the ,
chosen maiden of his heart, a few fleeting
months will pass happily. Beauty of per
son will make up for other defineiences ;
but when blasted, or become familiar, her
so. icty v/i 1 lose much of its interests, and
if he be intellectual, he will secretly re
proach himself for his folly, in not look
ing at the beauty of the ntiitd, instead of
the beauty of person—ho will reproach
himself for the hasty and indiscreet step
by which lie has indissolubly connected
his destiny with one who has nothing
whatever to recommend her but outward
charms. j
Beauty of person, like magnificent’
scenery, loses its interest. The pleasure
with which we gaze at first sight, is soon i
BY HD & WHITE, rib!i*her*t
followed by indifference ; aud if there be
no beauty of mind on which the contem
plation can rest, it is well if it is not fol
lowed by a feeling of disgust. But where
a homely looking maiden has improved
her intellect ami her heart, tlioligli she
may have no peculiar grace of person, she
will never fail to be an object of intetest
to him who has chosen her for his partner
in life. Os course I mean if tiie man bo
worthy of her, and capable of appreciat
ing her worth. In sickness dr in health,
in adversity or in prosperity, in the crowd
or in thq privacy of domestic life, as a
w ife or a mother, she will always carry
with her an attractive charm.
If this bo so, with what, untiring ussid
uity should the female cultivate her mind
YVith what eagerness should she press
ulong tiie path of Science, and treasure
up its imperishable stores. YVith what
industry should she strive to improve her
moral nature. Flow perseveringly should
she cultivate the virtues that shall secure
to their possessor a fadeless beunty.

Advertise, Advertise.
Nothing increases the business of A
town more than advertising People look
to the’ advertising columns of papers to
see the importance of places where pub
lished, and if they find then’ columns des
tduto of advertisements, they very natu
rally wime to the iconclbsion that the
country is also destitute of business, and
not of much importance Then, Plivsi
eians Lawyers Merchants, Hotel Keep
ers, Mechanics; etc., should advertise, not
for the especial benefit of those engaged
in publishing a newspaper, bnt for the
benefit of all Advertise, that the im
portance of our town may go abroad, in
a proper light, and not present the ap
pearance of being deprived of all kinds of
business. It will cause numbers to visit
it who < tlmrwise would not; and greatly
increase it-: importance and business Co
lossal fortunes have been acquired by ad
vertising ; and tell us not, as some have
whom we have approa hed ou the sub
ject, that “it won’t pay —it is money ex
pended for nothing.” If advertising does
not pay, would like to know why it is
that so many thousands are expended
yearly in this way It dees pay—pays
well —and no business can thrive without
it. the merchant can never kow tho
advantages of advertising until he tries
it—tries it thoroughly— West Point Bea

Cax do their own Kissing —Not a
thousand miles from this village lives a
very exacting landholder. He makes his
tenants “ come to time” on the very day
the rent comes due, and will only relax
liis stern decrees when a handsome wo
man is. in question. Not long sinco he
called for his rent of a very worthy me
chanic, who by the way, rejoices in the
possession of a very pretty little wife.—
The husband was not at home when Shy
lock called, and he Was enchanted with the
pretty little wife of the tenant. Shecoiild
not liquidate the amount due ; but the
landlord becoming really enamored, told
her he would give her-a receipt in full for
just one kiss. “Sir,” said she, boiling with
indignation ; “myself and husband are
very poor; but 1 tell you, sir, we're not
so poor but that we can do our own kiss
ing !” Ain’t that a glorious consolation
for poor folks ? The hardened creditor
rfiay take all their property, but can’t de
prive them of the privilege of kissing.—
Elmira Gazelle.
A i.ast look.— There is a feeling that
resembles death in the last glance we are
ever to bestow on a loved object. The
girl you have treasured in your secret
heart, as she passes by on her wedding
day, it may be happy and blissful, lifts up
her laughing eyes the symlml of her own
l'glit heart—and ‘eaves, jn that lo k
darkness and desolation forever. Ihe boy
your father-spirit has clung to like the
light of your existence waves hi* hand
from the quarter deck, as the gigantic
■ship bends over the breeze ; as tears have
dimmed his eyes, for, mark—he moves
his fingeie over them— and this is a Jgst
look.
‘Go to thunder !’* is now rendered,
thus : “Take your departure to the abode
