Vi % \ < V \ GOOD ADVICE TO WOMEN. F I R E S ID E M IS C E L L A N Y . xt p w iin e i I ’d rather havs one saUy t u r o f thioa, Dropped Iron the drooping fringe of thy sad Tban bask to light o f all fair eyes that shiae, Or wi* those «tulle« that lovers mostly prise. I ’d rather have oae sad sweet look o f thine. From full-orbed eyes, bent earnestly on me, Thun catch the rare o f all the stars divine, Or win the heart o f eaeh fair form I see. I ’d rather hare one word o f lore from thee, The uui«io o f whose voice I long to bear, Than I ¡i*t*n to heaven’s perfect melody, Where angel voices ring divinely clear. I ’ d rather have one tender sigh o f thine, Breathed through thy modest lips that rarely .“mile. Than hear the sweetest song of lore and joy , From any laughing lips whose arts beguile. IM rather have that noble heart o f thine, W hose lore aud friendship would a ransom be, Than own the wealth of all the worlds that shine, v Or wear the robes and crown of royalty. But thi- tht-r daily, in rain or sunshine, came the solita ry lover, as n bird that seeks it» you»*; iu the deserted nest; a^aiu and a^aio he haunted the spot where he had strayed with the lost; again and again murmured his passionate vows beneath the fast fadiug leaves. A re those vows destined to be ratified or annulled ? W ill the absent forget or the lingerer be consoled ? Had the characters o f that young romanoe been lightly stamped on the fancy, where once obliterated they were erased for ever, or were they graven deep iu those tablets where the writing, even when invisible, exists still and revives, sweet letter by letter, when the light and the warmth borrowed from the one bright presence arc applied to the faithful re­ cord ? There is but one wizard to dis­ close that secret as all others; the old grave digger whose church-yard is the oarth— whose trade is to find burial- places for passions that seemed ¡mmor- tu l; disinterring the ashes o f some long-crumbling memory, to hollow out the dark bed of some new.perished ln>po. He who determines all things, and propheoies none; for his oraoles are uucomprehended till the doom is sealed. He who in the bloom o f the fairest affection detects the heotic that oousumes it, and while the hymn rings at the altar marks with joyless eye the grave o f the bridal vow. W herever is the sepulchre, there is thy temple oh melanoholy Time. T ub I jo v eus P arted .— Ia the world I see unrest, discontent, strife, sin. I see girls, children in years, from whose cheeks the first blush o f ionoeenoe, from whose souls the last vestige o f youth, has gon e: women sold to frivolity; women wasting moat recious g ifts ; women whose ambition as no higher object than to mislead or triumph over m en ; men growing hard, selfish and wicked, the slaves o f their passions, going down to death, with no hand to save, all for the laek o f the true home. Then remember that the home is the first kingdom o f the wo­ man, in which her rights can never be dethroned— that all pure love, all high thoughts, all religion, all government, to live, must have their roots beneath its altar. Then I feel impelled to say to every woman who ha* a home, before all thin gs: First your, home. No matter how high your ambition may transoend its duties, no matter how far your talents or your influence may out­ run their doors, before everything let it he first your home. Be not ita slave ! be its minister. Let it not be enough that it is swept and garnished, that its silver glitters, that its food is delicious. Feed the love io it. Feed the truth in it. Feed thought and aspirations in it. Feed charity and gentleness in it. Then shall oome forth from its true woman, the man, who together shall rule aud bless the land. T o o M u c h M a r r y i n o .— There is altogether too muoh marrying by forms o f law those who, at the most, are only a third or half married in other ways. Aud there is altogether too muoh urg­ ing, and ooaxing, and alluring young people into the most important and sa­ cred o f all human relations, before they are prepared for its responsibilities pr moved to assume its burdens, and by those who ought to know better and act with consideration. W e make too muoh ot marrying and being married, until it ia thought by many people somewhat o f a disgrace for a woman to pass thro’ li£e alone; when, in fact, the life o f many a single woman is poetry, ro­ mance, rapture even, in comparison with that o f many a wife. So there is a vast deal o^ marrying with very little real marriage; a vast deal o f discontent, heart-aoho, misery, infidelity, and un­ marrying at the last. W hat we want is not a more stringent divorce law, but a better understanding o f the divine law whioh forbids the marrying o f J oa n B a u N o s -G A iT .^ T h e mind those not already o n e ; not less unmar­ ov a man is like a peioo ov land that, rying, but less marrying where there is tew be useful, must be manured with no real marriage.
