When christian civilization . appeared upon earth, and when it raised :wdraan as we shall see afterwards, approbrium and .servitude have not ceased for her iat the same time and everywhere ; they have ceased only where civilization has pre vailed ; every wnere else, sho has re mained under the lot which we might call her natural lot. You have proof of it in Turkey. The Mussulman, from the siith century, did not, and does hot as yet, care, about restoring to woman her dirrnitv. " He has raised the four walls of captivity and of contempt; he has heaped up the objects of his cowardly covetous- ness, not all perhaps marked at the same degree of servitude and infamy; but what matters the shade of esteem iu op probrium, and the degree of favor in op- e ci r' a . . r- . .

" There is a vast number of wprks which tell us of the servitude and objectedness of woman in Turkey, in China, and in the Indies. Tsee . influence of women, bv Madam de Mongellai; institutions of the people in the Indias,. by M. .Dubois; voyage to Tomboucloa, by'Caille,' etc.. etc.) We read in a relation, written in 1838, the following: 'The Chinese laws do not allow any dower to young5 women. Parents may sell them as they do caftle, (legislation condemns these horrors, but the government tolerates them); they can deprive them of life, but they cannot en dow them. Boys only inherit. Were the family composed of girls only, all the property reverts, in full right, to ' the nearest relative on the paternal'side,' un less the father has adopted a male child. A barbarous prejudice causes them to consider the fair sex as a degenerate species, inferior to man. It is especially in the higher class of society that this state cf servitude and humiliation is obvi- ous.'' . The same thing exists among the Negroes who inhabit Central : Africa; and among the Arabians of the Delta, the formula of marriage is this : The father of the young woman saystd her future husband :- " will give you a slave to keep house for you."--JlichaUdys . Ccrrespori dance from the East. . - , j According to the Talmud, one party of the Rabbins allowed' divorces when a woman had onry been so unfortunate as to suffer her husband's-soup to be burnt. What a burning shame ! We should re late all the ' history of the ancient and modern pagons, to tell all the humilia tions of woman; whom civilization has not made free. (See the work of Npn garede, Vol. 1. ' In a certain portion of our own coun try ,:in one of our own Territories, does not the same infamy, disgrace and humilia tion exist? But Tdo not dare to write, and you would feel disgusted-and horri fied, were I to lay before your eyes, the moral terpritude, the alarming and hid eous portraiture of the "spiritual wife m.m - - 1 . 1 1 " ' system" or joe amtm ana nis wortny successor Brigham Young, ia the Terri tory of Utah. . I will not speak, therefore, of the secret mysteries of Morraonism.its unhallowed rites, its degrading humilia tion of -female dignity and propriety, which disgrases humanity and dishonors our country. ; . Even in our very midst;; what do we hear sometimes? The dull clamor of divorce, the -human beast which" hpwJs after brutal liberty',.' and. asks to be freed from a duty insupportable to his desires. We have heard that shameful clamor;. it even triumphs sometimes in our own country, as the statistics of. the courts, will strongly testify. Then a woman, and a christian woman, is driven away from the family which she has" founded with her blood ; she ceases to be mother in ceas ing to be wife; they take away from her by divorce, as if they divided cattle, a portion : of. the children whom she has carried in her womb, whom -she; has fed with her tears and with" her love,. 'But the she-wolf, in the midst of forests, when her cubs are taken away from her, feels the injury. that is done ; to. her ; and we, in a christian country, we wrest the child from its mother; we fear not to do her an injury which the tigress would not for give in the den of her wilds ! . How can we explain such a, strange overthrow of ihe: laws of nature and. of affection? I .understand slavery. .The slave is a foreigner ; the chances of war or of birth have . determined' the., fate of his condition; he is nothing to "the sour, eniers of his.m.aster and to his heart. : But the companion whom man has chosen, who. has' had ' the: promises of his youth, j who is hi3 equal by blood, who has lived ! at his hearth, to whom he has opened his soul, who has given him days portrayed in his memory, and sons grown up under his eyes, why should he dishonor. her? -What , has she done? What does man gain by it? Ah! what he gains by it, I will tell you; for finally, we must know the cause after having seen the phenom enon, we mast, penetrate into the inmost heart of man and explore it. . ; Three egotisms have concurred, .in man's heart, to the degradation of woman. The first is the egotism of jealousy. We love, it is true, but we are of so little val ue to be loved, years flow away so fast, they so swiftly carry away the charms of our youthrthat a moment comes, when.we doubt of ourselves and of our aptitude to deserve affection. . We are not .deceived. Nevertheless, we. wish' to retain what would not voluntarily cpme.tou3; we. as pire to a passion whose-day is far; gone by ; rather than obey nature, we wish to do violence to it, and revise by servitude what is ravished .from us by, liberty.- pression ! The Sultana reigns as much as one can upon a divided and dissipated! This is the secret, reason , which has doomed man everywhere to more or less isolation.. Another egotism, that of satiety, has worked against her in another sense. We grow tired. One day we.wake upas from a dream; we. are surprised that we love no longer, what, on the day previous; we adored ; we ask ourselves . the cause of the change. Nothing has" changed but the heart ; but it has thangedj and it is a change from which it never recover' y What is to be done then? How.is.it possible to live in the torment of seeing with indierence what before was beheld with delight?.-; The indissolubility of marriage is the rnswer of our inconstan cy to this question. Jealousy -made wo man a captive, satiety or lassitude drives her away. , ! There remains a third party for a third egotism, which is that of simultaneity. Our selfishness is so subtle, that we must sometimes, to take our ease, join hahit to novelty. This end is attained by the multiplicity of marriage, and passion thus forms a court, where souvenir is as much alive as Caprice ; where all Elates of af fairs are mixed, and where every day brings io an inexhaustible inconstancy a wedding and a repudiation. . .Such is man, and this threefold egotism is reduced to one only which is want of true love. .' Love, purely human, is a transient ebulition, produced by causes which have but a short duration ; it springs up in the morning and fades in the evening. It is'not the act of a man who rules himself, who is sure of his will, snd conveys the energy of his duty even into the inmost enjoyment of the heart True love is a, virtue ; it supposes a con- stant ana strong soul, wnicn, . wunout De ing insensible to fugitive gifts, penetrates even to the immutable region of the beau tiful, and discovers in its ruins a blossom which touches and detains it. But only among true civilization will you meet this creating taste this virtue. to be continued. i From the American Agriculturist. , Crops la 1862. Breadth, Condition, and Prospects ,of the Growing Crops in Twenty-four Staffs and Territorees. Gathered from 1,557 Reporters. . . - In the Agriculturist for July will be found, in compact tabular form,, the re ports on the growing crops for June 10th. W r are free to say that no ' system of gathering statistics in this country, (even that attempted, recently by the Patent Agricultural Office,) has given so satisfac tory and truthful an exhibit of the state" of the crops, even over a very limited dis trict, as. is presented in- these reports for the whole country,; whsre war is not ac tually going oh. - .Drouths have continued in some sections since the reports came in, which were then severe, and in parts of Illinois ihe newspapers teportfn; a few . " ,1 cases,' great damage to the wheat by the midge and chinch bug. : " 1 - - ' ' ' ' " " . ' pR0sr-CTs.: ". Winter Whedt promised, on June 10th, well in all the great wheat region of the West, and below an average. only in New England and Kentucky. We have reports of injuries to the crops by rust, and insects, or by bolh, from a few counties in Ohio, Indiana, Ilhnoi3, and Iowa, but in few cases only are they very serious. - Spring Wheat has been affected ;quite unfavorably by the cold rains,' irosts and drouths.' . " : ; . : ' Indian Corn.- Oar great staple, cpon which also depend. the beef and pork pro duct, is, we regret to say, a little "under the weather", yet, still June settles the fate of the crop, and that was ohly one third passed when. our reports were made oat, and the season besides was nearly ten days backward.- . ,. : 'Rye, followingin the wake of careless wheat farming, is chiefly reported upsn in the older States, and hardly comes up to average promise. have suffered equally from cold aud drouth where they prevailed. .y. The grass crop seerns to hare sustained itself well no where below average in promise eicept in "Michigan, New England and New York. Potatoes premise decidedly better. than common, except perhaps in the far West. . Fruit The appla crop has suffered considerably, but .not enough to reduce the crop to average, or near it; and the peach crop still promises exceedingly well The general averaga is abont 3 per cent lower than last month. The aver age prospects of farm crops (exclusive of fruit) is a little above average, about 3 per cent above other years. . Soiyhum.-Yfe have quite full reports from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, arid a few from Pennsylvania, Minnesota," Mich igan and Wisconsin. In only a single case is a decrease of surface reported iu another, and equal surface in all taken together (70- repdrts, ) an .increase amounting in:' tha mean tu nearly three times the breadth cultivated for the past five years. This must indicate a large increase over last year. In the case of this crop it would be better could we com pare this yearns crop with that of last year instead of the five years past. The prospects of the crops in Ohio acd Indi ana.' are better than average ; in Illinois a little below, and in Iowa, just about av erage. The crop now promises to make itself felt in the market decidedly more than last year. ; Fax. The . reports from ; the: flax growing counties of Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois and Pennsylvania, uniformly repre sant a! much greater breadth sown than usual and the crop above, the average. condition, and the same is true of scat tered reports from other sections. They all foot up two and a half times as much sown, and two-tenths, better prospects than usual. teas ana lieant. rinese crops . are reported chiefly from the extreme North ern line of States and counties ; about two thirds more than common have been planted, and the crop.dobs cot promise well on the whole. . " m The Weather for the month from May 10th to June 10th, has been exceedingly diverse in different parts of the country ; even different parts of the same State exhibit in numerous cases the' results of excessive rains, and for the season, of un usual local drouths, while in every State larger or smaller sections have enjoyed the happy medium which is the farmer's nignest joy in tnis respect, in. new England, and the ' State of Maryland, (Eastern) Virginia and Delaware, while there has been some drouth,, sufficient to reduce the hay and Spring grain crop materially ' in sections of New England, the weather has been on the whole, bet ter than an average season. Ia New York and Pennsylvania, it ha3 been less favorable, a severe drouth being reported in many of the Northern, Western and Middle counties of New York, and in Western Pennsylvania, and at. the same time very cool weather has prevailed in some of these same regions accompanied by killing forests, while Central and par ticularly Eastern Pennsylvania, and Eas tern New York,' to a less degree have suffered from powerful- rain?, causing freshets, etc. ! The season is backward every where, though where dry weather has prevailed, Spring work has been well done. . In Ohio damage to crops from wet weather, floods and frosts is reported, though the. dryness in some of the North ern counties has amounted almost, to drouth. ;In Indiana, through the middle counties there has been some trouble from drouth; in the southern from wet j while a similar state of things has pre vailed in Illinois. The streaks (so to speak) of wet and dry weather have ta ken in a measure an oblique N. E. course J across the country. In Michigan there are reports of drouth and frost. In Wis consin, cold, wet. weather, drouth and frost are all reported. Iowa reports speak of a backward season, cold and weL The severest changes and hardest storms occurred between the 20ih ol May and the " 1st of June, since which time the weather has been more generally d;y, especially in. New England. In Maine, for instance, there has scarcely been a soaking rain since planting time, and the hay crop promises to be. very light. . TIic Homestead Law. . . The measure for procuring homesteads for the landless which has been before the country for so. many years, has at length become a law. 'It will be good policy for the - Government, we hare no doubt, for the lands given, away will be worth -far more to the country,- peopled with an industrious population, than ly ing waste as they now do. They will soon yield up their treasures of grain or of cotton and tobacco to be exported, and to buy goods that will pay a duty lo the Government Peopled thty will' furnish soldiery for the army, and . taxes to pay their expsnses, should the Country need them.. Before this law was passed, lands were so cheap that every man cf real en ergy and industry could obtain a home stead if he tried, provided, he could raise the means to get on to tha 'land. This will be the chief difficulty now..- Hun dreds and thousands of families to whom the land would be a priceless bocn will never be able to reach it. They have little forecast, are poor and in debt, and pretty much discouraged. They can not find 'constant employment, and do not know how to employ ?hemselres" 'profita bly. If associations could be formed for settling these. lands in part by such fami lies, it would meet the difficulty. It would h?Ip them without damaging. tha success of the new settlement, it would Oats almost everywhere . have , been I secure to them . at once homesteads and seriously 'affected by the unfavorable full .employment, whieh .they .so much weather cf all kinds planted late, they need. Many questions are asked concerning this new law by those who desire tr avail themselves of its a!vanti?i. A careful reading of the law,, will a.isw-r many of tnem. ' ihe lanis are to b-a found ia Michigan, Wisconsin. Iawi, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and on the Pacific, inlare exter.t, and soma still ia Ohi, Indiana and Illi nois, though they are probably not cf a a very" Inviting character. The land? lyng along railroads are cf doulb price, and on account cf the proximity t; mar ket, are perhaps cheaper at that rat?. Only eighty" acres cf thesa caa bi iakta by one individual. The old pre-emption laws are still in farce, and a man may Iccato his land holding by thesa laws until tha first cf January, when he can held by tho new law. There are land cfncei in tha vicin ity cf all these public lanJs, where ih applicant can make known his wants and secure his homestead. It will ba isea that the matter either involves ths ex pense of a personal visit, cr that of a del egate, which ia a scrioui obstacle to Lhi poor. The best thing that caa to dcr.9, probably, in all cases by thesa who wiih to avail themselves of thii law, will ba to form an association for tha satilrmcnt cf a township, say a hundred families cr more, and send out an agent to exarr.ma and locals thf lands in a bciy. Th3 advantages of planting a who's christian community ia the wilderness at enco, over privets emigration, ara too appar ent to need mention here. A word of counsel: A farm for ten dollars is not particularly cheap. It is the raw material of a home. Hci:sas, bams, fences, roads, bridges, churches, school houses, and other public buildings, are to be provided after tha eclony is located, and these things bring heavy taxes upon every individual for a dozen years or more. A man getting a living at the East should think twice before ha goes into the wilderness. It ia young men just married, or about tote, men w,ith large families and scanty means cf living, and professional men with small fields of labor, that can take this step wi:h the best prospects. Am.

Let us not be over-curiou3 abcut tha ailings of others, but take account of our own; let U3 bear in mind the excellen cies cf other men, while we reckon up four own faults, for then we shall be well pleased to God.

For when he perceives that such an ens hath sinned, very easily he will sin himself ; when he perceives he hath in aught ex celled, very easily he beccmeth arrogant.
