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-

heart; she reigns as. the woman of the
lowest class in the '.United States would
not wish to reign.
" 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.

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. ;

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

across the country. In Michigan there
are reports of drouth and frost. In Wis
consin, cold, wet. weather, drouth and

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,

a very" Inviting character. The land?

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

form an association for tha satilrmcnt cf

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. Agriculturut.

in the world. It contains the vast cum

nineteen Japaneseries in length, which
is equivalent to twenty-two English miles.

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 he who locks at ths
faults of others, and at his own excel
lencies, is injured in two ways; by the
latter he is carried up to arrogance,
through the former to listlesness. 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.
He who consigns to oblivion his own ex
cellencies, and looks at his failings only,
while he is a.curious engineer cf the ex
cellenciesi not the sins, cf others, is prof
