The common charge placed upon woman that she is alone to blame for all the evils that are bom with men is, however an unjust one; The great work of forming 'minds, is mainly hers. But if man would stop to reflect upon ; the subject, and be made aware of the import- - . ance of his position and the course he takes in relation to the peopling of the world, he would, -in many instances, be a better husband and act a more generous and manly part than he does A woman may be surrounded with all the ' comforts of Jife, and yet be kept in a stale of miserable apprehensions, from which she has not power to rise, by the indiscreet proceedings of an unwise man. If, by uncon-trolabcircumstances, her lot must be a hard one, it may be rendered much more tolerable by the care and sympathy and tender solicitude of a kind and agreeable husband. When parents learn wisdom and practise it, -there will be no black sheep among their flocks.

The above term, as often applied to one of a human fold, is a very significant, and tous, a very painful one. It implies tw forcib ly the rigid fact, that one bom an "unfortunate," is doomed to'bear ridicule and censure, rather than to receive pity and charitable words and acts not so much from strangers as from broth ers and sisters, and even from the parents themselves whose folly or weakness has, in some deficieucy. It is alway, been the cause so a fact, to be regretted, that these human black sheep are, in so many instances, like sensitive plants in their natures, making their fate a still more pitable one. ' If parents, could only undersfandthat the entire fault of such peculiar dispoiitionsjsuch deformed minds being brought into existence, is always, or nearly so, their own, certainly the number born of unhappy beings would be less, and the world less full of sorrow. If , mothers could be" brought tq realize, how much they have to do with the forming of 'the characters of men oncl women, ere they are given existence in the outer world, surely ho pains taking would be to great for them, in the matter of producing good and noble, rather than inferior offspring ... of-th- e "Nature JuTiolate boWs certain laws, There's no effect produced without a came,"- - Avomaiicannot allowjherself to beekless, disagreeable or in any particular that which she ought not to be, and bring forth a sweet-soulelovely and in all respects perfect offspring.

The financial troubles of the nation are be coming so complicated and embarrassing, that an appeal is being made to the women of the country, to aid in stemming, the flood of indebtedness, and lend a helping hand in rescuing and retrieving its falling fortunes; dimply by purchasing home productions, goods without a foreign mark. It has indeed become a 'mania' in aristocratic circles, to wear foreign goods; polite society in its progressive advancement repudiates whatever is cheap,-- , easy of access, or inclined to simplicity. Tj ba salable, it has become so essential Hut the finer qualities of goods should have a foreign markj that in many instances home pro ductions aro sold under the head of "imported" a word "which possesses a mysterious fascination, and a magic charm' with these votaries of fashion, these favorites ofthe' ''sterner L sex."
