Tlie old oak tree is building forth,
The leaves hejjin to start,
Hut since it leaves put out last year
My eye hive shed full many a tear,
And grief has bowed my heurU
I often at my window sat,
When lust tho spring was here,
To gaze upon the noble tree
But then a furnt I loved to see
Was almost always near.
I!ut now I sit me down and weep
Though the same seat I hiive,
Another spot attrueta my eye :
There is between the tree and I
A l.ttle new-mado grave.
Hut yet I have one treasure left
To fill my heart with jy,
And why should tears so often coins

' For the Argue.
Wemaa'a Rtghta,
Ma. KutToa : It seems to me that thuse who
have written to you In favor of this question, hare
teen rather chary of touching upon its merits. I
hall not attempt to review what has been written,
' Jul shall touch upon some points, and then lead
oat upon important grounds which hare not been
fairly opened. As for those who are disposed to
ridicule the positions taken by the firm adherents
f the frae prineiplre of " Woman's Rights," 'tis
plain they are either very prejudiced, or, consider
ing the question stale, or from some other puerile
excuse, have looked upon it superficially.
v. To those who argue it to bo a pari of woman's
- fights for men to " nurse babies," I would suggest
Ihe propriety of obtaining hutbunds who love ba
bies. And to all ladies who wish certain particu
lar (to them) duties performed connected with
their individual ideas and affairs, I would suggest
the propriety of obtaining husbands who think as
.they do. Concerning all thuse little private affairs
connected with family contentions, which add to
the misery and detract from the rights of both man
and woman questions whether a man should do
this little particular thing or that, or whether under
certain oircunntances such and such specific duties
Xelong to wonun, I would suggest that the remedy
must bo individual reform (which would be mu
tual cultivation) or divorce. No law (man-made),
110 public opinion, can reach the conflicting el
ements, iu any particular case, in the organizations
f nun and womau, as exhibited in different ideas,
tastes, and aspirations.
. The question on general principle of the diffcr
' nt "spheres'' of man and woman has been ably
written and spoken upon by hundreds, and almost
111 agree that their general ''spheres" are widely
different J but, iu case of a married couple, how
tor the woman, under given circumstances, may
etep into ihe sphere of man, or how far the man
nay overstep the bounds or the woman's sphere,
are questions which the good sense and agrcrnble
Teis of the twain should decide. It is plain (lint
Wom.in's sphere is in strict necerduuee with her
organization, and men's with li s j so that the
tpheres necessarily overlap. It is not governed by
the number of mental faculties or corporeal organs,
but diir.ronce iu quality. Woman promiscuously
is uot unadapted to many pursuits to which man
lay be adapted, and so also man is not unadopted
many pursuits to which woman may be adapted .
,ud because both are adapted lo ccriuiu pursuits,
cue is not encroaching upon the other having the
ime privileges is certainly not debarring cither
jrom those privileges. Day, as it were, laps Uion
B'ght, and night upon day ; day nevertheless is
,day, and uight is night. All positive and negative
-principles, to sumo extent, necessarily operute in
' the same sphere, or to some extent aie homogene
ous iu their elements and action, yet the general
action and sphere are widely different.
. If it were possible for refined woman, by h.'ing
-tnught and lead in the same track in which limn
fjeuerally is, to be cultivated to his general coarse
ness and masculinity, it needs no argument to show
that such a stuto of things would bo very Innienta
"ble. Woman is not man's counterpart only, con
'idorcd sexually, but she is the moral and refilling
glance that keeps him in his appropriate place.
It is a well-established fact that woman is greatly
more moral and religious than mau. Her in-door
employment an 1 the geuerul sphere Conceded to
her, tend to keep her moral and refilled. Man's
tout-door employment and the geueral sphere con
ceded to him, tend toward making him immoral
nd unrefined. Man naturally cultivates the self.
lh propensities by having to overcome so many
'physical obstacles, and of course cultivates the
"coarse temperaments by having to perform coarse
kbor. With woman, tire rersa. Why, then,
.'ay some, were they not made and allowed to re
. aaain in the same degree of refinement allowed
aatural proclivities, to keep up the balance f The
( answer is plain. All nature must be in harmony.
' If there was natural average balance of refine,
'.went, there would boa vast deal of hard, filthy,
Mcouth, yet necessary, labor, which would not be
. performed for want of appropriate constitutions to
. perform it; and it certainly would be a contradic.
, Hon to tho fair proportions of both consistency and
common sense to argue for retrograJation, or culti
''ration down hill, in order to the advancement of
the world which retrogression would surely trana
' pin if persons of refined temperament should un
dertake to perform labor suited to coarseness of
. temperament. In fact, the very nature of a change
cf occupation and situation would preclude the
. possibility of keeping np the original balance.
Were it not for tho refining influence of woman,
? man's over-balance of coarseness and selfishness,
( in time, would become mora aud still more over
balanced till it would lead him over the brink of
deaperatiou. If it were not for the positive influ
ence of man upon woman, her over-balance of
refinement would soon rendor her totally inado
, qaate to cope with the ordinary duties of life, and
fit her only for the fairy abodes of the " spirit land."
I think I can now fairly launch out upon what
- I conceive to be the intrinsic merits of " Woman's
Rights." I shall not by any means argue that
1 woman should crowd man from his sphere, or any
part of it, to obtain ber rights but shall argne for
woman the right, natural and moral, to the entire
circumference of her sphere : the privilege of
which, and the extent of which, are ia oxaot pro
, portion to her constitution and incliaau'ooa. And
exactly bare ie the pivot apoa which the whole
l qaastioa revolve. Becans woman ' natural re

her present condition, these are cerlainlv no rea
sons why the conocdrd sphere should not be en
largedno reasons why the should not auume
appropriate positions, aud be allowed to comply
with those conditions which accord with her na
tive aspirations in order to exert a still gnater
enlightening and moralizing influence. The world
if yet certainly immoral enough to need all the
moral Influence which can possibly bear upon i'
from any source. But man, with alt his super
abundance of selfishness, will, if he will butinves
tigate into the full merits of the case, sympath'to
witn his innocent, helpless sis-.er in the many un
happy conditions in which she is placed, and not
look to her advancement altogether for the purpose
of advnnolng himself.
Why should there be a disparity of wagca be
tween male and female) Why should public
opinion discountenance a woman's doing anything
not unsuited to her constitution ! Why should she
not be merchant, clerk, physician, lecturer, artist,
or hold any office or position ihe duties of which
she might have the inclination and capacity to per-
form? She ia allowed to teach school ! and fur
ittle more than half tho wages limn gets for the
same labor ! There is nothinir a female can do lu
her present condition which can give scope to her
aspirations without she is an authoresa of extraor
dinary caliber. She is compelled to teach school
at half wages, to sew, &c, without the hope of
attaining to more than an ordinary living, and
many limes in distressing doubts as to oidinary
comfort for ihe future.
It is well known that hundreds marry to obtain
homes, without the hope of having true affection
for their husbands. St Custom does uot allow wo
man to make advances of affection lo man, but the
tide all rolls the other way. Man inakea the first
advances lo woman, and what can she do but ac
cept the best, in her judgment, that offrrsj She
cannot live alone (which many, doubtless, would
inlinltcly prefer doing, and await the chances of
finding a suitable mate), for the disparity of w.iges,
the small chance of raising herself te any dUtinc
tion, the dark veil which hang over the very un
certain future, the sheer exhaustion of dreary
doubt, compel her into the surging sea of matri
mony. 8he is compolled to siu aga'nst her holier
instincts. Taienta aro fully aware of the unhappy
conditions in which St. Custom places unmarried ;
they know there is but little chance for them to be
more than passably respectable : hence they gen.
rally couiitenunee marrying in curly age gener
lly allow their girls to marry the " fimt opportu
nity. I or force of custom, woman, in many in
stances, ia compelled lo knowingly niake false
marriages hut iu a vast majority of ouses girls
marry before they are capable of judging of a truo
counterpart. Io wonder I here arc family conten
tion and misery ! If a wonun refuses to marry
because her judgment tells her she would not be
suited, sho is soon stigmatized aa being an '' old
maid,'' aud this appellation ia so unpopular that
omen instinctively shrink from it, and many times
marry to get rid of that alone. It is quite an easy
ing to marry, but quite another thing to be hup-
ily m.irricd.
There ia another right of woman, and a very
important one, too, which I shall mention, at the
risk of shocking the nerves of Old Conservatism
the right of being educated co extensive with and
in the presence of her brother man. The in du
nce of the sexes upon each other while nt school,
too well known to ho particularly commented
upon in this place ; but the refining influence is not
all. Woman, as well as man, should have the
most favorable opportunities to study human na
ture, nnd to gain all knowledge requisite to cope
with tho intrigues of Ihe world. Woman shuuld
be educated in every dtpartmcnt, so ns to have tho
facts from which to reason and deduce principles
that may not only serve lo elevate licrtslf, but to
giie hor the capacity to teach and elevate others.
Where is the man that would wish to be wedded to
a woman that would not be his equal ? If woman
is man's equal in natural capacity, why not be in
educational? Man and woman should go hand iu
hand up the mount of progress. Woman has de
tic.ent educational advantages; her position is cir
cumscribed by custom, so that she cannot support
herelf nright in single life ; she is cither influenced
to marry at an early age, beibre her judgment ia
sufficiently matured, or withstand the sensation of
being termed au "old maid"; and in either case
she is uot allowed half Ihe chance to study into
human character thut she should have. And a
woman is obliged to submit herself in everthing to
her husband. If they happen to be uuudapied,
what direful misery! And if woman should re
solve not to let custom crush her, she finds she can
do nothing, but contend with her tongue law is
against her. Slander seldom touches man, but
woman is the victim. How easy it is for a man to
get a divorce from a woman who haa been badly
slandered, and how ho thrives in after life! Wo
man, though, in the greater part of coses, has had
insult added to injury, and durst not complain out
side ihe family circle ; but if circumstances should
be favorable to a divorce, iu nearly all cases she is
almost crushed to "dumb defpair'' by the weight
of public opinion, or forced to lake the chsnccs of
another false marriage. These ciroumstantial
marriages are the bane of the world, peopling it
with children "conceived iu s'n aud brought forth
in iniquity" children who are reared in irrever
ence and wordy, wars, and aeut out upon the

fictions of the New Orgs a.
The paper which hus succeeded to the
rights and estate, without tho title, of the
Washington Union is rapidly establishing
a character of recklessness and unreliability,
uncqunlud even by its predecessor, under
.any dispensation.
Lately it took occasion
to utter these remarkable untruths:
" It fills the heart of a Democrat with
pride, to contrast tho position of his own
party with that of the Opposition. Whilst
- 1 the lutter is composed of a heterogeneous
mass of irroeonci able elements, avowinor
the most antagonistic doctrines, fighting
under every variety of banners, and only
agreeing among themselves in one common
sentiment of hostility to the Democracy,
our own party stands before the country
the only representative of a common faith,
and the only reliable defenders of a common
constitution. It matters not where you
meet a true Democrut whether in Massa-
1 CDUSCttS Or YirgUlIU you will find him the
advocate of tho same cardinul doctrincB of
constitutional right and justice. He carriet
with him the tame plalfurm of principles.
Ilis note-book for Maine answers ns well
for Florida and Minnesota as for his own
State. It requires no change of programme
for each locality iu which his battle is to be
fought."
Tho States, another Democratic journal
published at tho Capital, thus disposes of
these- statements of iiuclianau s veracious
mouthpiece:
" Nobody would rejoice more than our
selves if this were a correct representation
of the state and prospects of the Democrat
ic party. But is it true that the Democrat'
ic platform is identical in every Stato of the
Uuion? Do Democrnts everywhere main
tain the snme principles? llu-rc is no need
to answer this inquiry. The fact is nulpa-
ble and undeniable that tho organ's picture
is a pure piece of fnncy. Every intelligent
person knows that the Democracy m differ
ent States and sections are unhappily divid
ed in remect of the most material issrns.
" Nor is that all. The unity of the Dem
ocratic organization, likewise, is seriously
if not irreparably impaired by personal
jealousies and the rivalries of faction. It is
so iu Pennsylvania; it is so in Louisiana; it
is so in other States.
" Why, then, this affectation of confidence
in the harmony aud brilliant fortunes ol the
party, when everybody perceives its troub
Icb and embarrassments?"
Dancer of Educating Irish Democrats
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican re
lates the following good political joke:
"In a manufacturing village near Hart
ford, Conn., a zealous Democratic school
master devoted his evenings, for some time
before the late election, to the instruction of
a company of Irishmen, in order to fit them
to become Democratic voters. After getr
ting them educated to the requirements of
the statute, winch requires them to be able
to read tho Constitution, he took them to
Hartford to get them naturalized, and re
lied with great confidence on their voting
' the right ticket.' Lien election day
came, however, the schoolmaster was puz
zled and mortified to sec nearly all his hope
ful pupils vote the Republican ticket. 'The
cusses,' he said, ' had turned against him
after ho had spent more than a hundred
dollars on them.' The incident shows the
perils of education to tho Democratic
party."
Politicians should never Meddle with
Scripture. It is something of which they
know but very little, at best, and it is un
safe for them, therefore to touch it. Ex gr.:

Wise, of Virginia, says: "The Reubens

The Governor has reference, doubtless,
to the story of Joseph being sold into Egypt,
but, unfortunately, he has got it all wrong.
" Reuben," it so happens, was the only one
of the brethren who did not want to sell
him. Tho Governor should join a Bible

ties as a monarch weighed heavily on me
it is at this moment. Wur is the scourge
of mankind. I see with sorrow thut the

war is for my realm, which greatly requires
the continuance of peace; but the heart of
the monarch must be silent at the command
of honor aud duty. On the frontier is un

Our struggle is a just one, and wo begin

however, that we shall not stand alone iu
it. The soil on which we have to buttle
was made fruitful by the blood lost by our

of Germany have generally begun their

Russia. Berlin, April 27. Four corps

my have been put under marching orders
for the Austrian and Prussian frontiers.
The difference in the protestations of the
great Powers against the Austrian ult'nntiun
was more strongly marked than has been
stated. The English note expressed sur
prise and disapproval; the Prussian note
merely disclaimed all responsibility for any
consequences that might follow; tho Rus
sian Prince Gortschacoff's stigmatized
the conduct of Austria as more than offen
sive. Hungary. A Paris correspondent says:
" It is said that proclamations have beeu
or are about to be circulated in Hungary,
calling upon the pcoplo to throw off the
domination or Austria. Perhaps Hungary
will bo offered as a bait to Russia. It is
certain, however, that the Cabinet of Vienna
professes to feel no sort of alarm about
Hungary, and disbelieves tho possibility of
a rising."
Austria. The authorities of Trieste,

The London Times, speaking of the
Austrian campaign In bnrdiuia, says: "The
military operation exhibits no other result
than that, after seven days on Sardinian
soil, tho iuvaders have not advanced more
than thirty-iivo miles from the frontier

of tho movements and sudden initiative,

vails among the Austrian!.
Every day furnishes new collateral proofs
of the fact of a secret agreement, menacing
to England, having been concludedjK'twecn

says no one ought to feel surprised if we wake

PnoMPNEss or Fiikxch Taoors. The
London Times says:
" Frenchmen may not be mtprrior to
Germans, they are certainly not equal to
Englikhmcn in strength, endurance, nnd
thoso qtiulities which courngo being sup
posed equal are likely to decide the fata
of battles. But in the great military qual
ity of promptness they are without an equal.
Tho manner in which the French troops
have been dispatched to the Alps since
Good Friday is a model for the study of our
officers. Tho very act of entering a rail
way carriage and disposing of his knapsack
and nuihket has been taught the soldier as
port or his drill, We may be assured that
nothing that energy, science, and skill can
accomplish for the speedy concentration of
rrciicli armies at Xurm und Genoa will be
negleeted.
Ifthcro be one thing which especially
shows the military genius of tho French, it
is their transport of troops by sea. In the
Russian war, while wo had our Uimaluyas
and Jnsons, they had only their owu little
trading vessels, most of them engaged in
tho Channel ' cabotage.' Yet in every little
brig, which probubly hat) till within a few
months before- traded between St. Malo and
Sborehuni with eggs, the French managed
to pack some 150 men, and send them two
thousand miles to Subastnpol."
Moiik " Ui.timatk Objects." A gossip
ing letter from Paris, speaking about tho
Austrian Emperor's mother, says:
"The Archduchess is a woman of the
most powerful intellect, and still holds her
rule over her son as firmly as In the days of
his minority. Her penetration Is prover
bial; and she still consults with Mettcrnich
upon all subjects connected with the inter'
estsof the Austrian Crown. Ever since tho
marriage of l'riuco Napoleon the suspicions
of the lady hnre been urotiscd; aud at
length, by dint of ortifice ond money, of
fuith in themselves ond tho want ot it in
others, the experienced pair havo succeeded
in obtaining the lull copy or the letters or
rniico Napoleon aud the Emperor of tho
French to the King of Sardinia, by which
it becomes cleur that the war in Italy is but
a secondary object that the vllimate end
is the bestowal nf Lombard; on Amy Vtc
tor, Rome on Prince Na; oleon, A'aples on
Prince Murat, and the over time of Aus
tria, which leaves tho road open to Russia;
und then hurruli for tho long-cherished
idea of the attack on England! the deed
that is to render his name immortal as that
of Cu-'sar, and efface that of tho great Na
poleon, by performing that which even ho
never dured to do, and avenging him."
tQT Letters from abroad report that tho
agitation which hus been going oh lu Eu
rope for the past three mouths has produced
at least ono good result. During that po-
iod tho pcoplo have enjoyed moro liberty
of discussion and have probably learned
more than during the proceeding ten years.
Through journuls and pamphlets appeals
havo been made and heard,
taT M. de Toequovillc, whose death Waa
announced two weeks ugo, was not then
dead, no was only very sick, aud so far
recovered afterward ns to give hope of a
permanent, or at least a partial recovery,
Ho soon got worse again, however, and
died on tho 10th of April.
A Tobacco Item. Tho Emperor of the
French is a great smoker, and bis subjects
emulate his exumplc, having consumed
523,636,000 cigars during 1857." Tlx to
bacco trade Is a government monopoly, and
is estimated to yield a rcvenuo the present
year of $36,000,000. Algeria is rapidly
advancing in tobacco culture, having in
creased the product from 277,000 pound
in 1848, to moro thau 7,000,000 pounds iu
1857. Austria and Russia, like France,
muko the truffle in this article a govern
ment monopoly, tho former deriving a rev
enue of $14,000,000 from it. Russia, it
is reported, Intends to abolish hor monopoly.
A Queer Occurrence. A queer inci
dent is reluted by the Chester (S. C.) Jour
nal as having occurred in that place during
the Odd Fellows' celebration. It bcciuh
there was a calf, somo two months old, con
fined in a lot close to the Methodist Church,
and when Capt. Lucas's brass bund com
menced to play ono of those soul-stirring
airs which always arousss to the highest
pitch the feelings and passions of the hu
man soul, the calf became intensely excited,
and began to dance and leap about, and to
continued to do as long as the music was
kept up, and finally it became, as it were,
frenzied by excitement, and after making
one or two tremendous bounds it fell and
died instantly, without a struggle.
tsr The Rev. Win. Butt, a Methodist
minister, who preached freedom in Kansaa
through all the troubles, and was persecut
ed by the Border Ruffians for his free State
sentiments, has been transferred to the Ar
kansas Conference, and appoiutcd Presid
ing Elder of the Texas district.
