THE WoR ru Or WOM \N.
•Honored bo woman ! she beams on the
s iglit,
Graceful and lair, like a Fn ing of ;ig f;
Scaiters around her, wherever she strays,
.Roses of bliss o'sr our thorn-covered ways;
Jlnsos of Paradise, sent from above,
.To be gathered and twined in a g uland of
love.
.Man, on passion'sstormy oce.-.n,
Tossed by surges mountain high,
(Courts the hurrican’s coinmoiion,
Springs at reason's teebte cry.
Loud 'be tempest roarsaround him,
Louderstdl it roars within ;
Flashing lights of hope confound him,
Stuns him life's incessant din.
Woman invites him, with Irliss in her smile,
To cease from his toil, and be happy
awhile ;
Whispering wooingly—come to my bower;
Go not in search ol the phantom of power;
Honor and wealth are illusory—come!
Happiness dwells in temples of iloiue.
Man, with fury stern and savage,
Persecutes his brother man,
Reckless if he bless or ravage.
Anion—action—sti'l his plan.
Now creating—now destroying—
Ceaseless wishes tear his breast;
Ever seeking—ne'er enjoying—
Still to be—but never b'est.
Woman contented in silent repose., t
Enjoys in its beauty life’s flower as it tdows.
And waters and tends it with innocent heart;
Far richer than mail w ith his treasures ol
art,
And wiser by far in her circle confined,
Than he with his science, ; nd flights of
the mind.
Coldly to himself sufficing,
Man disdains the gentler arts.
Knowing not the bliss aiUirg,
From the interc ! .ange ol lieatts.
Slowly through his bosom stealing.
Flows the genial current on.
Tiff by age’s frost congealing,
It is hardened into stone.
She like the harp that instinctively rings,
As the night breathing zephyr soft sighs
on the strings,
Responds on each impulse with ready
reply.
Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy
• 'ry;
And tear drops and smiles on her counte
nance play.
Like sunshine and showers of a morning
111 May
Through the range of man’s dominion,
Terror is the ruling word,
Anti tlie standard of opinion,
Is the temper of the world.
Strife exults, and pity, blushing,
From the scene despairing (lies,
Where to battle, madly, rushing,
Brother upon brother dies.
‘Woman commands with a milder control,
Kiic rules by enchantment the realm of
the soul;
Asshe glances around in tlie light of her
smile,
The war of the passions is hushed for a
while.
And discord, content from his fury to
cease, ,
P.eposes entranced on the pillows of peace
A FEMALE SAILOR.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the
Robert Small, dated in that ship olftlie Cape
of Good Hope, the 20th October:
“ Avery singular case has been discover
ed on board our ship ; we have detected a
young lady in the person of a sailor, who
came out with us from the Thames in Au
gust last. Her name is Mary Anne Arnold.
She is the daughter of the late Lieut. Ar
nold, R. N. who served in that capacity on
board the Ganges and Prince Regent man
of war. Being a man of dissolute habits he
lost his commission in consequence, after
which >esidiog with Ids wife at Shecrr.ess
where, by continuing his habit? of dissipa
tion, he and his family were reduced to
great distress. Mr. Arnold was admitted a
pensioner in Greenwich Hospital, in which
asylum he died. After her husband’s death,
Mrs. Arnold lived at Shaerness, supporting
herself and her children until 1835; when
after great exertion in the harvest field, she
.died, leaving her children totally unprovid
ed for. The subject of the present state
ment was ten years of age when her mother
,dieJ. Partly by laboring in the fields, and
partly by going un errands for persons, she
.supported herself, and contributed to the
sustenance of her little sister, who was only
.eighteen months old. when her mother died.
Mary Anne next obtained permanent ein
ployineut in a rope factory at Sheerness,
where she earned two and six pence a week.
■Going frequently among the shipping she
found that hoys of her age who went to sea
earned more many, were better fed. and
in every way in a superior condition In
hers. Upon this .Mary Anne determined
to renounce petticoats and to become ,
saiior. Borrowing an old jacket, trousers,
and shirt fron. a boy of her acquaintance,
■to whom she said she was going to have a
laik in them, she took leave of the rope
fields and the owner of the old elothes.
without the ceremony of a farewell, a ,1
suceseded itt getting employment as cabin
buy pi the Williams, and a Sunderland col
lier, then lying at Sheerness. Marv Anne
was kindly treated, and she continued to do
the miscellaneous hard work of a colliers's
cabin boy, below and aloft, lor two years, to
tlie satisfaction of no less than six captans,
who cammiudod the Williams during tint
period.
A seventh captain came, an 1 the man and
boy did !i >t like mich other, so Mary Anne,
fur ever abandoned the eoai-maring and on
•he "2nd of October, 1830, entered cabin
boy a* Shields 01 hoard ihe brig Awi'a.
boon I tor London and (Quebec. She made
several voyages in this vessel. Urrforto
nately the Annie was wrecked off’ Bhikeney
10 the last equinoctial (tales; hut fhee ip

to Shi’’ ds Si -i Arnold entered again as a
cabin boy the. Choice, bo.u id for Loudon
with stores tor Robert fLuall, E is- India
in in, in which ship sic next succeeded in
get line an engaged.e it. She lias well done
her work as a strong and active boy in tiiis
bmp. I have v :eu Miss Arnold amongst
the first aloft to reef the mi«n top-gallant
sail, during a heavy gale in the Bay ot Bis-,
cay. When we crossed the Equator she
underwent the. ceremony of tarring and
shaving in its roughest form. On the 20th
of Sept* mber last, some of the crew ex
pressed swsoicinos t« Captain scntt that the
boy Arnold «as a girl. The Captain upon
tins ordered the surgeon to examine the
vnungsier. The surgeon did so, and de
idared that he was a "ill. Mi-xs Arnold
then g.rve. the foregoing recount ot hvrseh.
The Captain, passengers, and crew, .iff
prated and pitied her. She was at once
prevailed npmcHJ abdicate 1 lit* jacket and
trowsers, and is now a pretty girl, 15 years
o! ace. The lady 'passengers have given
her lois of presents. Her hair is already
getting long and 1 suppose she will soon
begin to think of ringlets. Captain .Scott
behaves in the kindest manner towards her,
and has promised that she shall receive her
pry just ihe same as if slie were to continue
to t!o a young marriner’s duly during tlie
whole passage out and home. Miss Arnold
is, though rather bashful, considering the
sliotl time she has had to learn ladies’ way s,
like other heroes and heroines, capable of
being drawn out. 1 frequently -her

she pitches a long yorn about liie dangers

JIM -BROWN*AND HIS ECHO-
A LKVKK STOUT.
If an etching were to be taken of all the
crises that are picked up by the watchman
on the Levee, at New Orleans, they would
prove as varied il not as interesting -sCaili
lid's gallery »and Indian portraits. The leve
of New Orleans, about the witching tuneol
night, is 10 loafers w hat tiie Bouievardo ol
Paris, Bond street of London, or Broad
way of New Yoik.isto dandies—-it js ilieir
la orite promenade. It is there only the or
iginal chart cteis are to be caught. Von
might as well look for an niligatmi in the
Aroostook, as for a regular loafer in any o
tlier part ol the city.
Jim Brown, a genius wlrodays claim to
tlie highest honors cl ihe loafing brother
hood, was arrested on -Thursday night, iu
what might be called n peculiar situation.
Jim having got as blue us “Kentucky
Ketchup”could make him, and the caberet
being an cveiy day result of his, lie sighed
lor change ; he sought novelty, looked out
for some uc.v sta.e ol ( xislauce, and finally
found it in an old steamboat boiler that lay
on the Levee. into it lie introduced his
perron, oml when inside, thinking it mipreg
liable to any assailing pslrts, he cut up sun
dry and coucave slimes an the way ol sing
ing and talking to himself. As the concav
lium hi his temporary habit: tiott gave an
echo to every thing tie said, tiie watchman
who beared the noise 1 incied there were
two Jim Browns instead of oue Jim Brown
in the boiler, and Jim himself was some
whet puzzled .0 account tor the phenome
non.
“Go ahead, steamboat” shouted Brown.
“Go ahead, steamboat,” responded the
echo.
“Fire up.” said Mr. Brown.anil, “fire up
an-wt red the echo.
Charley was a believer in supernatural and
and natural spirits, and debated tor some
time iti liis mind whether or not he should
examine the boiler, or go to the doggery and
liq nor.
At length he .summoned up pro
oceeded to where the noise came from, aad
asked, “Who’s there/”
Jim and Jim's echo answered, “It’ none
of your businessr”
•Oh. ther's a pare ofye there,” says the
watchman.
••No” says .Tim, and his echo endorced
every word tliai he uttered, “sir ; I’m ol tiie
single cylinder make, two hundred horse
power, with a strong stroke. I’m a regular
burster and no mistake."
“Yau’cr vagtante. Come out of that,”
said the watchman.
• You’d better get out yourself. I'll blow
up. i’|| collapse in two minutes,” retorted
the'loafer, who had steam enough iu him,
at ail events, to wan cut the assertion.
Charley finally got Jim Brown out ol Ins
hiding place, but was at a loss to discover
where Jim Borwn’s friend could have van
ished to. Jim swore as much as would set
a pile n( pine wood on fire that lie didHt see
no gentleman but himsell.”
“Weil, I’m Mowed,” said Charley, “il
there w ain’t no imvisible hindiwidnal there
with you, the gimpathy that seems to exist
bet w een you add that ere boiler isthestrong
est case of eannimul magnetism that 1 ever
did see in ali tnv wast hobsci vation.”
Jim Brown and Charley ware seen mov
ing along towards the watch house in Bar
onse street. What has since become ol
him deponent knoweth not. -—Picayune.
Home, home, sweet home as the loafer
said w hen lie entered tlie guard house.

SOUTHERN.
LADIES, BOOK.
EDITED BV.
BY P. C. PENDLETON <&GEORDE F. PIERCE
To the Ladies oj Georgia and to the South
generally, the following plan is most re
spec tj ally submit led- It is hoped that it
will receive their serious ailaition, andr
meet their approbation, since it is for thei
especial benefit that llte work is projected.
PROSPECTUS.
In submitting the following plan, we
would fust call the attention of the Ladies,
and all those who feel interested (and who
xre tho«e that do not ?) in the welfare and
improvement of tlie female sex, to the pre
sent condition of the Southern Press. Near
ly all tiie publications which issue from
it are engaged iu its political discus
sions, and their column* teem with accusa
tions, denials, abuse, and every other form
of w ordy warfare—carried on in language,
frequently unfit for “ears polite,” and seldom
suited to the delicacy and gentleness which
belong so peculiarly to the Female charac
ter.
Os the few literary papers published. South
of the Potomac, there is mitonk exclusive
ly dedicated to the -LADIES! We have
felt this as a want which ought to be sup
plied ; and we propose to make an effort to
do so, confident that our endeavors will be
crowned with success, if ‘ve can only secure
the hearty co-operation of those lor whose
welfare we are about to labor—The Ladies
of the South. And we expect, further, that
every intelligent mind among the oilier sex,
will view with approbation, and aid in sus
taining, an enterprise designed to improve
the minds of those, without w hose cheering
smiles and soothing companionship, life
would be dreary and tiiis fair world a desert.
We wish also to afford -to the Ladies a
field for t‘e exercise of their own talents,
and for the develajiement of the resources of
their minds. The list of authors- for some
years past, have frequently curded tlte names
ol Females whose glorious success has shed
an additional radiance on the name ol “Wo
mas.” i’lie “lords of creation” have breu
forced to acknowledge that t e Female mind
is, by no means, detficient in capacity and
intellectual endowments, whilst, at the same
time, it is possessed of superior delicacy and
tact. Long was Woman’s mind held in
thraldom, long were her pow ers underrated
and forced lo remain inactive or uuexercised
by the force of conventional arrangements ;
but her chains are broken, and .her liberty
has been proclaimed. The article of Mos
lem faiUi, that “Women have no souls,” tin
longer obtains among us- Let the Ladies
now assert their own privileges, and we of
fer them, in our proposed work, a medium
for the expression of their own views nod
sentiments, on all that appertains, in airy de
gree, to the welfare and improvement ol their
sex.
In offering tiie plan of a SOUTHERN
LADIES, BOOK, we do not intend that it
shall be precisely similar to a work of like
name, at the North. We leave to our Nor
thern cotemporary pictorial representations
of fashion and dress, for the embellishment
of their person ; be it ours to provide a garb
of purity, elegance, refinement and grace, for
the adornment of the mind.
AH that may contribute lo form the heart,
invigorate tlie mind, purify the affections,
and refine the manners, shall be our especi
al care, that our work may be a useful aid
to the young, and fair, and beautiful, in pre
paring themselves lor the discharge iff the
noble and arduous duties yvbicli devolve on
Woman,Jin iici varied ca| acity of Daughter,
Wife & Mother, And we lepealthal iu the
accomplishment ol this high enterprise, we
confidently expei t the aid and support ol^en
lightened and judicious of both sexes. Ar
rangements lor regular aid will be made
with several Ladies, whose productions have
already gained them high ia*”e-in tiie litera
ry vvorld---a«d several gentlemen of distin
guished attainments have already been se
cured as contributors, from whom scientif
ic tracts, with notes, and observations on
tlie arts, may be expected. This depart
ment ol the work will receive marked atten
tion. In short, nothing will be omitted
wlrich may tend to give the publication such
character's will render it worthy the atten
tion of the learned, and those to whom it
is dedicated— 'lhe Ladies of the South and
IFest. it only remains to obtain the requis
ite number of subscribers—-say two thou
sand -and if the Ladies will smile upon,
and aid our efforts, that number will not
long be wanting. Let them urge their Fath
res, Husband, Brothers, and Friends, and
it is soon done.
The work will contain sixty-four roy
al octavo pages, stitched in a neat colored
cover, anil will appear monthly. Tkkms:
Five dollars per annum payable on the deliv
ery of the first number.
it/ 5 * It is highly important to state, that
all tiie tlie subscribers names which may be
obtained, should be forwarded bv the Ist of
December next. Agents will please, bear
tiiis in mind.
