All the veracious chronicles 9 an imaginary past would blaze with shiaHg refutations ; every organ of the outra'fl womanhood of the f;nt would Itecotw voluble with indig and statistical! protest. Not, to go into the dim cloud land of tradition ; ,o speak of that accomplished and ami princess of cosmopolitan story who is constantly giving herself up to save hoc people from the wratii ot ferocious ogre or all-devouring dragy ; nor. to mention Iplii genia or Psyche, whose sacrifice wins new loveliness in Mr. Morris’ charming rela tion, or the young lady who swam the yel low Tiber, regardless of iter clothes, to warn Rome of impending Uorsena ; not to dis turb the dusty repose of a venerable blit now nearly obsolete work in recalling the devotion of Miriam who struck the loud timbre! by Egypt’s dark sea, or the resolu tion of Judii-h who sttiole lloloferncs, as Mr. Aldrich has been at pains to celebrate in-melodious verse, or the craft ol Jael, who, with woman’s hereditary weapon, fought against Si-era more effectively than even the stars in their courses; not to go back to these, one interested may And in more modern if not more authentic histories numberless examples of female patriotism. Indeed there arc heroines to every taste. If one lias a penchant for meek loveliness and pious resignation, there is Lady Jane Grey; or for a heroine of proper pluck and spirit, writing out her patriotism, for the world’s eyes to wonder at, in fair, large characters of warlike deeds, there is ample room to choose, from Boadtcea, “ Standing loftily chariote 1 Mad and maddening all who heard iter with her tierce volubility," down to Mrs. Brigadier General Eliza Lynch, emulating on the banks of the Parana the fame of her ancestresses, who anticipated Mrs. Bloomer by holding Limerick breaches against Ring William’s Dutchmen. For instance, there is the Maid .of Orleans, whom the Earl of Warwick burnt and Southey did bis best to damn, or the Maid of Saragossa, whom Byron paused long enough in his pilgrimage to help to misanthropic fame, or, not inferior, perhaps, to either, our own Maid of Monmouth, whose name no bard has wedded to im mortal verse and only the author of the Romance of Revolution has embalmed iu mortal prose. Then, for a neat compromise between the two extremes, take Madame Roland, letting ont her intrepid spirit, on the wings of an epigram, or Flora Macdon ald (was it not ?1 that did such yeoman ser vice to Prince Gharlie, or still better, to come nearer home, Miss Anna Dickinson, who is quite as aggressive as the most mar tial maul of them all, only with less gentle manly weapons. Nor should we forget the names, ever to be held in honorable and grateful memory, of Miss Florence Night ingale and Miss Dix, and many another gentle spirit beside, who on either side the ocean proved that country may be served as well by tlip bedside as on the battle-held, and that woman’s purest and loftiest mis sion is, after all, to heal, to comfort, and to bless. A great deal of patriotism, too, of another sort was exhibited during our late unhappy difference by ladies on bolh sides. With us In the North its manifestations were chiefly defensive, and confined, for the most part, to mild outbursts of jam and custard-pie and countless offerings of cou feetedwlyspepsia in other forms for the use of oufTtravc but misguided veterans. Balti more and New Orleans, under the benefi cent rule of a certain great general who shall be nameless, showed it in so offensive an aspect as to elicit from that hero a for cible expression of disapprobation in what his enemies called anew and hardly im proved version of Beauty and the Beast.— Undoubtedly, too, the women both South and North, more perhaps in the South than in the North, because of their greater op portunities, made many sacrifices, from what they considered patriotic motives, which weiit deeper than the manufacture ofjellies and the abnegation of bonnet strings, and are not to be passed over un gratefully by the historian of the time. >.ln view of all these proofs to t,hp pop. trary, it. would be the extreme of rashness to deny the existence of femiuine patriot ism. Perhaps the denial would be quite as rash even without the proofs, but that is a contingency we need not pause to consider. To be sure, a hateful cynicism may a (feet to find in most of the examples we have given some other and more selfish motive subtly underlying and suggesting the professed one- A perverted ingenuity may hold that Miss Cloelia, for instance, in swimming the Tiber, was urged not so much by love of country as by love of gossip and eagerness to be the first who should retail so delight fully awful a piece of news. Jeanne d’Arc to this wretched iconoclast would be only a- monomaniac, as ouo of ipT Mo/friipljors supposes, and Agustina Zaragoza disillu sioned into a frenzied girl made mad by grief for her lover.slain. Pity, not patriot ism, he would say—this horrid creat ure— filled the hospitals of Scutari an<| Washing ton with ministering angels, and the ladies, whose beauteous scorn of the Invading mud sill so animates and fires the glowing ut terances of Southern song, would.be to his sacrilegious eyes not by any means the patriots they and their admirers fancied them to be, but only lovely and romantic idiots. Bat it is not necessary to incur the contempt of out fair readers by adhesion to this uncliivalric hypothesis. It is au old truth that Hie rule Is proved by its excep tions, and the exaggerated glory which, eu- 2ri-tt)ecltli) "monstitutiondisi. shrines these isolated instances of female patriotism in history goes to prove that, generally speaking, female patriotism is a myth. And in saying this we do not wish to be understood as holding that this virtue is peculiarly a masculine one. Os patriotism at all there is much less than most people suppose, and if men have more than their share of what does exist, it is but little more than the difference betwixt tweedle dum and tvveedledee. In a small State, witii a community cemented by strong and constant outside pressure, and a land whose extent permits to every one of its inhabit ants a degree of personal acquaintance, love of country becomes something more than a vague abstraction. But, for the most part, one’s country is comprised with in a circle often miles around one’s hearth stone —a circle peopled with all familiar faces and lifelong loves and friendships, where every foot of ground is hallowed l>y its own fain memories of joy and sorrow, and every tree or flower is invested with something like the tenderness of a personal affection. Old Fountain’s map in Love me little, loot me long is not innch more absurd ly disproportionate than the oue we, eacli of us, carry somewhere hid in our mental consciousness. Pi'o aris et focis, for altar and fireside—that is wiiat. we fight so altars we -have known from infancy, the very stone and wood made sacred by the rites we have slurred, the very hearths blackened by the fires that warmed us.— Not for the altars and the fires of any other man, but for our own—a selfish doc trine, but is it any the less on that score natural and human? Buch as it is, this is what we call patriotism ; and a curious ob server might find m a certain development of this principle into t heir doctrine of State rights some explanation of the undoubted advantage of the Southern people in point of earnestness and zeal with which they en tered the late war. Abstractions are diffi cult. to grasp, and to most men the idea of country brings only a misty and indefinite image. But our own material prosperity and our own personal fillecl.icm are things we do understand thoroughly and thor oughly appreciate; for the most, of. 11s pa triotism is a domestic flower that thrives only under the shade ol our own vine and tig-tree. Now all these reasons operate with tenfold strength in woman.— Her love ol home is stronger, her capacity fur generalization indefinitely weaker than man’s, and she has so a still greater degree that tender selfishness which chwal.cs into paramountancc in the world’s economy the things which are nearest to her heart,— Hers is no telescopic vision to look far down the centuries and bring herself face to face with a shining future; within the four walls of home she finds Iter fondest past, her most attractive future, her coun try, her world. The cradle of Liberty is to her of not, one-thousandth part the conse quence of that other cradle where a dearer baby sleeps; and a hundred Declarations of Independence are to her of less moment than a single declaration of love. Not by convictions or by principles is her life guided, but by the more potent influence of all gentle and kindly affections. Her peo ple’s God is her God ; whom they love she loves, and whom I hey hale she hales. This very concentration and narrowness, this irresponsibility, ;•< to speak, often gives to what is called feminine patriotism an in tensity for which we look in vain among ourselves; yet if we could but analyze it, what a medley we should find of music and moonshine, of bounty blue flags and bon nier blue eyes, loss of feather and glint of steel, a shorn curl, a worn favor, all high flown memories of old romance, itil love inspired enthusiasms and tender follies mingling in a rosy mist, wherethrough the features of the poor Goddess of Liberty grows more and more shadowy and ipdis tinet, till, no—yes.it is a itioiislaclie and those are the wry ey<s of dear Augustus! Woman’s patriotism comes back to that, after all; we ate not likely to quarrel with her for it. Within sound of the jangling bells and the booming cannon and the snapping crackers, the roar and turmoil, the ming ling of all abominations of discord that is held meet to honor our national birth, this is strange talk about patriotism, and may be found worthy of a condemnatory howl from Elijah Pogrum or the übiquitous Jef ferson Brick. Yet, may it not be that, we dwell too much on patriotism and too little on philanthropy ; may it not be that we look too closely at. our dwarfed and self bound present, careless of all the glorious and mighty possibilities of an expanded future, which shall surely come to us when “ The war '’niras throb no longer aid the hai tie-flags are furl il In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world ?" Mu. Longfellow in England. —lt must have been very stratifying to the Poet Lau reate of England to learu front the London Telegraph (the most widely circulated jour nal of the British metropolis) that the poem of “Enoch Arden,” which he lias for some time enjoyed the credit of composing, was really written by our owh American bard, Longfellow, now LLD. of Cambridge, England. . If an American newspaper had an nounced that Mr. Greeley, in his address to Mr. Dickens at the Press dinner in New York, had felicitated the illustrious guest upon those admirable works of his. “The Pickwick Papers,” “The Scarlet Letter,” and “ David Copperfield,” how very much amused our British brethren would have been by the performance! And here comes a leading London journal with this amaz ing information: Jn a few well-rounded Latin sentences, the public orator replied the claims of the dis tinguished visitor to the privilege of an hon orary degree. The names of “Hiawatha” and “Enoch Arden” anti “Evangeline” sounded strangely amid the sonorous periods of the Latin oration. If the Telegraph's correspondent really heard the name of “Enoch Arden” on this auspicious occasion, it certainly cannot have sonndecj more “strangely” to him “amid the sonorous periods of the Latin oration,” than it will to all the rest of the wopld “amid” his owu effusion. Literary fame is commonly believed to be the most genuine ami enduring form of that potent delusion, the “bubble reputation.” But if the soldier’s fate, dying for his country ou the field of glory , as Byron cynically fells ns that it is, to have his name “mispelled iu the gazette,” how much pleasanter can it be for living poets to find that those who travel a hundred miles to record their triumphs have the most utterly indefinite notions of them and their works ?— iV.

Our bodies are endowed by nature with a certain negative power, which protects them, to some extent, from unwholesome influences; but this protection is imperfect, and cannot l»e safely relied on in unhealthy regions, or under circumstances of more than ordinary danger. Therefore, it is wisdom ; it is pru deilc**; il is toirtiiion sense lo pi’ovide against con tingencies, by taking an antidote in advance : in oilier words, by fortifying the system with llostetter’s Stomach Bittrrs—the most complete protective against all the epidemic and endemic maladies that lias ever been administered in any eounti y. Asa remedy for Dyspepsia* there is no medicine that will compare with it. Whoever suffers the pangs of indigestion, anywhere on Ihe l e e of the earth where Hosi etter’f. Stomach Bitters can bo procured, does so voluntarily ; for, as surely as truth exists, this invaluable tonic and alterative would re store his disordered stomach t<> a healthy condition. To the nervous il is also especially recommended, and in cases ot confirmed constipation it also allbrds speedy and permanent relief. In all cases of fever and ague the Bitters Is more potent than any Amount of quinine, while the most dan gerous cases ol bilious fever yield to its wonderful pro perties.
