Woman IZic'Eiiuai oi'ilan. ' ' The relation between man and womon is tho most beautiful expression of the great law of nature. . : In one place you may see her, the poor drudge of tho wash-tub or the needle, workling to support a drunken husband; in another place we see her in some parlor listen ing to the confectionary, of small talk famished by. some dandy. Society around us is but little more that a modification of these two pictures. What we want is some way. of deliverance for women from, being a mere slave and something more subslantal than those accomplishments which make her a mere gewgaw. The true idea of civ ilization will never be unfolded till woman has been placed upon an equality of man. In the cabin of tho Mayflower in tho war of the Revolution, when the wives loaded the 'muskets, thero were such men because there were sucn women. The grandest transaction of history is unfolded, when she stands nearest to man as an equal; and when Christianity fchall have reached, its highest point her heart will bo near his .hand. Let wo man stand up'Mi tho ground of their human nature, then there will bo mutual honor and mutual help; then they, will bo .-so discordant musie in 4,he march from tho 'paradise which they left together to that paradise which they hope to attain Rev.

rK h e IJ c::i o era tic. Pa r t y o si - . tsoia. . f Caleb Cushing, in bii3 splendii Fourth of July oration at Tammany 3, drew the following admirable portraits of the Democratic party and of tho opposition. First, of tho Democracy; I can see, on the ono hand, a political association which holds in its keeping the traditional public policy of tlio country which, at both ends cf ;he country. Xorth and Kouth, courageously and conscientiously assumes the burden of nationally, in dciianco of local jealousies and prejudi

ces, which alone professes a corisMiuiional political crcrd, and folio w3 a coustit'itionalj theory of action which calmly but reso-1 lately maintains our international rights in all emergencies, and which. i;rva3ation-1 ally conservative, because it is LV.Tkucratic on principle, and 'thus conciliates together; the right.W" &e States and tho ' righu of i the univarl people. Hero is tho counter picture: I see on the olher hand a political nsFochtion which is not indeed, an association, but a loose conglomerate only of the fragments broken oil from other associations, which hns no definite platform of doctrines, and.lloats at random on tho tid3 of public policy, in tho hope of picking up some chance helmsman, it knows not where, who may bring it into port; which lives only by hateful vituperation of the South; which is the refuge and recentaclo of the crotchetyisms of the day. jCT"If a man dii shall bo live-again?". Once a year have dasieg answered tlra question, and "springs little infant" given its testimony; and every 'day has the morning testiGed, and yet tho world is murmuring still, I fa man die, shall he live again?" The reason is obviou3 nine-tenths of the civilized world assent' to that truth yet believe not a word of it. Nor will they stoop to investigate, but, bya singular perversion, persecute those who do. The whole of Christendom, form there falsa institutior.s, make open perfession of practical Atheism, How very few can give a substantial reason for tho faith that is in them. The unmarried journeyman, who receives his 80 and 81Ü per week, and spends it all as fast as be earns it, will go to his grave as poor as Lazarus, grumbling capital eats up labor, when in fact i: j 13 iaboi" c:lt drinks) itsolf. l ou j ma7 shower uld upon working xnon who i TPsna a tll,ra ot l!liir earnings in barrooms, theatres, and olher places of dis sipation, and they will bo poor and needy after, all. lie who is ever to have anything ahead wiil generally Bare something the first year after he b twenty-one, whether his wages bo $10 per week, or only $5. Very soon 1:3 will be a capitalist, in his humble way; thru is, his savings from tho fruits of his past Ubor will b earn mir him something while be sleeps. Tho vulgar clamor against capital is generally raised by those who take good care never to have any. -t m 1 7$ "IIa hasn't an enemy in tho world." IIÄ;u'tl "Well, I am sorry for him, for he has mighty little character who ha3 no enemies. He is nobodv, who does not pluck un enough to getan enemy.

A SäOtac in the Country. The truth is, people' are: beginning to discover that. a good farm paid for, or not encumbered to such an extent as to dampen the energies of the owner, continues to be, as of old, tho best investment of the age. . It 13 the main-stay, tho . uniailing support of tho beloved ones of our hearts, whose sust6hanc'e and welfare should never be allowed to depend exclusively upon tho fluctuations and uncertainties of trade. There is a charm surrounding the homestead homely though it may be that penetrates every crevice of the heart, and binds us to its precious an 1 f miliar precincts with bo strong an inlluence.
