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 »Am and tlie on w had the luck to escape -a't-jr eoduriug gie it hardship*. Returning to Shi’’ ds Si -i Arnold entered again as a cabin boy the.

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 surrounded by applauding lislener* while she pitches a long yorn about liie dangers of tlte-sea. Our heroine has two brothers older than In rself. One is a boatswain of the Royal Adelaide; the other is a carpen ter on board ti.e lJritania, MMinced at Portsmouth.

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.

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.
