The you!h aspiring to manhood, am-1 bitious to w in a name, toiling unwearily | up the hill of science, stretching all the ! powers of the mind to reach tho highest; peak, thinks not of a brighther goal; j hut when arrived and the castles be- j gin to totter and he beholds all is vani- j tv, he feels I would net live always. j The man who has run ihe race and } arrived to mature years, while select- ! ing u partner for life, believing he lias j nt last found the center of all perfection, j the afigi’ l of light, whose countenance j is to dispel eveiy cloud and keep up a continual brightness around the domes- j lie circle, while musing on the joys | that await, him in his own quiet home, j he remembers not thero is a world j more brighter; but when lie finds he oh lias surrendered his hopes of j hnppineess to an artificial creature to j ,nkeep those eyes bright and those cheeks I are dimpled', a continual round of com. j pany must be kept up, tlmae dear treas- j ares on whom the respectability of his | name depend in after years, forsaken and left to tho mercy of hirelings and | servants ; in the bitterness ofdisappoint ment lie mentally exclaims, 1 would hot | live always. The young lady, who ha been reared in the bosom of parental indul gence; while listening to vows of love, lasting as life, from the men whom above all others, her heart delights to honor, truly convinced it is self alone that is prized by him, not ail the treas ures of Peru could affect his love; while thus believing she has not time to think on a happier world ; but When site dis covers, after becoming bis for life, that the atmosphere is growing cold and she, like a tender plant, transplanted by a’ rude hand into a strange soil, begins to; droop, and discovers after all, it was only the few dimes her old father had j worn out his better days to lay up for, her that was wanting, (for love, howev- 1 er blind, must see when the mask L thrown off by the deceiver,) and hopes, j bright hopes, are forever blasted by the breath that should have warmed those hopes into reality—when all the hideous i principles of the hypocrite rushes in up on her like a glad lark that has sudden ly been overwhelmed with winds and ’jcives, she looks out on one wide waste of billows, dark and drear, without one star of hope to point to art earthly ireav- j . on. O! *tis then, from the inner heart j is heard, I would not live always. The happy husband and father, who has realized all the bright dreams of youth, while surrounded by the quiet joys of a well regulated family, where | ail i.-, peace and love, may forget there •s p. better place; but when the des if’oyer coines and the treasured object - r e!l this happiness- i- thru frum Ins bos- om by the relentless hand of death, and lie beholds himself stripped and bare of the tender vines that clustered round him, his soul speaks out in language | like this, l would not live always The happy wife and mother, while | enjoying all tho blessings that spring | ! up around the family circle, where the | | father is the sun that diffuses light and j 1 cladners all around, and she, like the! ; moon, reflecting a calm, sweet right in ; his absence, while the clouds appear. i not, and the brightness is not dimmed, I and bright dreams of future joy croud j in upon the mind, all at rest and peace, I for that father like a gipnniic forest. ’ tree, affords ample shelter fro-.. <-v* rv blast that may assail—while thus pro tected an 1 nourished, sho remembers 1 not there is a brighter homo; bullet | that sort set behind tire sea oi death.— O! whrit a dark world this ic ! how in penetrable the gloom that falls on eve ry obj -ct ; the tree uprooted, torn from j ! its soil, tho tender vines left without; j support, monk an 1 frail, clinging to!

CHARLOTTE, j i Seclusion, June 9th, Ido'J. dB-xujggy vrumnw.m MTBXEUMUBBTKBBEB&BI 1 A Parson in Petticoats. Rev. Miss Antoinette L. Brown, ai ! graduate from the Theological School i at Oberlin, Ohio, was received at the j Melodeon, yesterday afternoon, by a j crowded congregation, assembled to j listen lo a discourse from heron St. j Paul’s doctrine that women should keen silence in the churches. The Reverend but youthful maiden ! was conducted’ to the pulpit by Rev. | Theodore Parker; he, however, did not! | sit beside iier, but lock a seat with the j I congregation,- leaving the young divine to con met the services Iter self, alone. The dear preacher is apparently twenty one years old. She is slender and grirteel in form and pretty in fea ture, with a fine expressive face. Site ! wore glossy black hair, neatly arrayed, ! a close tilting, high necked dress that | became tier vastly and altogether site | made a favorable impression upon lire I j audience by her modest deportment j and her pretty face, as well as by her! chaste language and logical discourse, j If she were to remain m the city and | would accept of some loud call, there j | would be a powerful revival among our 1 j young men, & hundreds wouldcome uu | I der the influence of the preached word, j | who now pass the hours of the Sabbath | ! in idle and vain pursuit. After a voluntary on the organ, tliej I preacher arose very quietly, and grace- j i fully folded lier hands in prayer. From | this performance it was very easy to ! j discover a theological education, she ‘ j prayer had tho good old Purrtanca! j I twangr about it. it was a perfect dan uerrytypo of a prayer we have heard i : scores of times in our Sunday School i J days, by a good old pious North End i ; Baptist deacon, who would always then, ! arid does now commence his invoca ! tion by thanking God he had estabiisii { ed a church on the earth. After the prayer, the young clergy woman read the XJ V chap, Ist C iriu j thiuns (thero was no choir) in a p- cu [liarly soft, mellifluous voice, ilt v j I reading was very correct, clear and \ j distinct, the then announced her text! j from the 31th and Sotft verses of :h< • chapter she had read : “Le t your women keep silence in ; : the churches, for it is not permitted | unto them to speak, but they ait? com-j ; rnanded to be under obedience, us &jso| 1 saitli the Lord.” | “And if they will learn anything, let j ; them ask their husbands at home; so lit is a shame for women to speak in j I the church.” Her bold stand in thus taking the j : great theological bugbear of Sr. Paul! i by the horns, was admirably sustained I j throughout Iter whole discourse. Site: ! took the position that St. Paul h ■ 1 ba-l, I commentator's, and that his language j |and meaning had been very much dis- ! ; ‘.Dried by divines, who, from prejudice I and education, had prejudged theques- j i tion, and commented on the text to ! bring it to meet th -ir views. Had she | been born a man, she said, she might j j possibly havo thought as they do; but; j (hank God, she was born on the other j ! side of the question. To illustrate this ! sentiment she told a feeling and hripres-! j sive fable of a bear who passing down j Broadway one day, saw a picture of a i hunter drawing out bis knife reekingi with the blood of his shaggy victim. ’ All, ha! thought the bear, if ! was an artist 1 could give quite a deiferent ; view of this subject. The Preacher contended that St. Paul! I never forbade women to speak in the ; churches in the sense that commenta tors contend for. She was forbidden to speak or talk unless site does teach. ! This was illustrated by tbe context Had St. Paul so forbidden, lie would have gone contrary to God’s own word, who lias said, “I will pour out my spirit upon you and your son” ami daughters sliall propheev PENFiELD, GA. JUNE 26, ISt>2. The enchanting divine was particu- j lariv seven? upon Professor Stct^r'.; and Dr, Sutrutul Hp.nscn Cot, who had 1 said that tho reason of Paul’s prohibr- 1 tion was found in the fact of the univer sal gullibility and rilii-iec® of women. ; I Dr. .Cox's ideas of womanhood, she: ! thought, might be drawn from his reo- j I ollections of his mother, i The Reverend chamber paid a ham)- j • some compliment to the gallantry ot St-1 i Paul.

The discourse was ably writ ten, handsomely delivered and well received. Mrs. Folsom was pr'ssnl, ofcotirso. After the lecture, she regretted that she had n t an opportunity to speak from the text. Site would have illus ■ trated it differently. A wag who ! heard her lamentation, suggested that j she should commence a lecture right j off, on the principles of the new letter ijust discovered. “What is that?” j asked Abby. “Why. let’er rip, to be jsure.” Abby was no such a woman, 1 and declining the invitation, she pursued j her way, w hile the congregation disper. j sed to their several homes. Boston ■ Herald. Atlanta, June sth, 1952, ( Union, No. 1. ) I To ths Daughters of Tkmpf.ranck. My Sisters ;—As some of the sisters |of tins Union thought that it would be ! advantageous to have a sister to address i them at each regular meeting with a ! word of encouragement, caution cr ad ; vice, so as to mane these meetings more j profitable and interesting; and as it falls lo my let this evening to perform this duty under the regulation tlrus established to encourage us in a great and good work, l now proceed willingly io the discharge of the pleas ing task. 1 cannot flatter myself that I will ma terialiy benefit any one present, but 1 can prove to you alt that l am willing jto do all 1 can for our cause—in the | Union as well as out of it. If I cannot j come up to tbe work as many others i with the whole armor cf warfare upon j me, 1 cun at le-vt come with sling ana j pebble as did David in the battle with ! Goliah of Gath. lam proud this evo i ning that 1 bear the name of a Daugh ! ter of Temperance, and am honored by ; my sisters to cast a stone at the hydra ■ headed monster who is laying waste our | country by destroying our people. Yea, ! ;am happy that my lot is cast wliero 1 ! oan meet in a union room in a strange ,!lin'd, far distant from my mother and , sister, and yet find mothers and sisters | to whose listening ears are ever open to the cries of the needy.lean pourout my iown sorrows, or the sorrows of others, | and surely find sympathy and aid. 0, • it is manna to tho soul to know we have at hand those who wiil not only help us in our sorrows, but will cheerfully aid us when we are struggling to remove the sorrows of others ! This is cur hap py state in tins union—we sympathise -.virh, and aid each oilier in times of af. fliction ; and we are here to strengthen j each other’s hands in tho great work ot j arresting the onward an 1 destructive j strides of king a'oo-.01. My happiness |is increased too by remembeiiog that j your watchful eyes are ever over mo ; for good, and if from my weakness, 1 I act amiss, you are ever ready to bting j me back to tho path of duty and peace. |To you too, i .have learned to look for itsolacein every hour of sadness artd ‘gloom; and on your affection [ feel 1 1 may confidently rely for the indi- pcri. | sable services arjd consolation.!, ! shall I need ill the last sad hour and trial of ; life- Union in a good work, produces 1 union in he b l and life—and hence our ’ joys as Daughter# of Temperance. But in audition to tho happiness re. ; suiting from this sisterly love and avrn- j paihy, wo must, my sisters, derive i I much happiness and pleasure front toe I i tact that we are humble instruments or ; God, in reclaiming from vice our fe|. j low-creatures, and especially those! among them that are near and dear to jour hearts. And who among us’ j have not had friends and relations j addicted to the ruin of intemperance |to the use of ulcoh.lic liquors? Who j among us have entirely escaped suffer, ing and anguish from the ruin, or threatened ruin of friends under inopoi sonous influence of intoxicating drinks? !, for one, have suifered deeply—lan ! guage would fail to describe the sor row and anxiety excited by looking up-! ! ott an affectionate brother reeling homo j under the influence of this deadly bev. erage. Ah, hew often have 1 seen iriy distressed mother lay usido her work j and fly to her room to pray in solemn, and almost dispuiring earnestness for this erring sou. I havo looked upon lie? aged face bathed in tears, and have I feif theft a mother’s prayers must pre-! vail, aniHhunks to God this feeling has i been realized. The Sons of Temper aiM-e wore sent v> t-- tin- instrntnunt itTrougli whom her prayers were to bo j answered. Her sinful son was res- ’ cited, ani I have had the pleasure of j seeing him marching in front of tem. ! ncranoo procession, bearing a. the I banner enscribcd with Lovr, Purity ! and Fidelity. Our mother was t:-.*-re, I and when she beheld its richfoifln ; lay ing in the zephyrs over the head cf her beloved and now temperate son, tears i main flowed, but they were tears of jjoy, and of gratitude to God for his | | merciful interposition. There were iothers there under like circumstance, j who could and did joyfully sympathise ■ with her in ail these feelings. They it was good and kind, in the Lord to i raise up Sons of Temperance to omen, i cipnto- their sons from tho slavery and; degradation of intemperance. Beloved sisters, it is our duty, as! } w.-U an our privilege, to help these good men in this mighty work, and although wo are of the weaker sr-x, we may have a part in this work of love. I would then urge to diligence and prudence in 1 our undertaking-and especial 1 y to ! much prayer that the good Lord may | bless and prosper this praise-worthy i co-operation. Let us learn diligence even from our enemies—thoso who make and sell these poisonous liquors, spare no pains in trying to lead away and entreat the young and weak let us, in like manner, spare no pains in trying to defeat them in every quarter, —let us watch every post, and like David go out with staff and gliog, trusting in tbe strength of the Lord, and let our watch word be victory or death. The world must bo redeemed from intemperance, or tho world is ruined and lost! Again my beloved sisters, would 1 entreat you to use often and constantly tho all-prevailing weapon of prayer— earnest and special prayer for God’s blessiitgo upon our heavenly cause, and that we, like Jonathan and David, may havo our hearts knit together in love. These objects obtained and there will be unity of feeling, unity in effort, and unity in prayer. Ah, what power has the wicked one over such a tri-unity as this? None, whatever. We must succeed. May God grant it! Sisters I conclude with the exhorta tion that we so conduct ourselves as to satisfy tho world that our aim is good the good of each other, end of ail man kind for time and eternity. Let our perseverance too show that we have not volunteered for a six mouth’s tour of duty, but for the whole war, for life, ii I necessary—and that wo make a mighty | and continuous effort until tiro monster j fails under onr blows, and we are ! crowned with the wreath of victory.
