daiget of perishing, and for self-preservation
in the most important junctures.; a
generous impatiencerwhich longs to antic
ipate the future, and produces au inces
sant movement and agitation, sometimes
dangerous, but. which are generally the
germs of great benefits and the symptoms
of a strong principle of life ; such are the
great characteristics which distinguish our
civilization; such.are the features which
place it in a rank superior to that of many
other civilizations.
. In our first article we have-shown "what
woman was among the Romans, and what
she is still" among the nations who are not
christians ; history, and still more the lit
erature of Greece and Rome, afford us
sad,-or rather shameful proofs, on this
subject, and all the. nations of the earth
offer us too many evidences of the truth
and exactness of the observation of Bu
chanan, viz That wherever christian
civilization does not prevail, there is a
tendency to the degradation of woman.
But christian civilization has placed her
in the rank which- properly belongs to
her, and which , is most conducive to the
good of the family and of society; it has
raised her from abjection; restored. her
to the rank of . companion of nanas
worthy cf him ; made the existing preju
dices against her vanish forever; made
her equal to man by unity- of origin and
destiny, and in the participation of the
heavenly gifts'; 'it enrolled her in the
universal brotherhood of man ; considered
her no longer as a slave or the vile instru
ment of pleasure ; it has restored to wo
man not only liberty, instruction; and aJl
civil rights; it has, moreover, created for
her three ministries which give her a glo
rious action upon the distinies of mankind.

ence exhibits profound traces of virtue,
we experience within ourselves, although
we may be his equal a feeling which
causes us no pain, but still removes from
the confidence of familiaritythis is re
spect. Respect is the voluntary acknowl
edgment of a dignity which commands us
without need cf any order; it enters like
a necessary condiment, ia all the relations
of men between themselves, and the most
tender affection 'does not exclude its ex
pressionhowever it may become moder
ate with it. Without respect, man touches
on the rudeness cf barbarity j he disown
his royal character.
Now, we are liable to forget, or even
to disown this portion of our heavenly
endowment. The abuses of equality, the
abasement cf vice, the irdelica'cy of mind,
continually push us towards rudeness, as
pride bears us to a silly and foolish stiff
ness. ' Christian civilization needed to
find and to preserve the secret of dignity
moderated by grace, to have a subsisting
interpret of it, an exquisite and inviolable
model, whose presence alone were a lesson,
incessantly reminded us cf the rhysiogr
nomy of the man true, pure, sinceresim
ple, worthy of himself : to the christian
woman this ministry has been intrusted.
Christian civilization has mads cf the
slave a queen ; it has taken her from' a
shameful servitude, or from a licentious
liberty, which was but another servitude,
to give her over public morals a modest
and . sovereign . action a scepter worn
with as' much fruit a glory, which has
marfted modern ;times w;ith an indelible
color of .decency -and of elevation! : -
That young man, word out in' vice,-who
believes in nothing, nor even in pleasure;
who respects nothing, not even himself,
he.come3, he meets the look of the-chris-tian
tfoman, he beholds living the dignity
he has profaned ; he. again finds God in
a soul who has preserved innocence under
the laws of true civilization, and shows it
forth in her -countenance; he feels his
misery and his abjectness before that mir
of purity..., A motion cf the eye-lid or 'of
the lip suffices to'chasiise and annihilate
him, who imaginedlhat he was, sure he
would; not be trembled before .the AJ.
mighty. He recognises a power to which
he owes an account of- his lif er. before
which he is' to disguise at least its shame,
and if he becomes' incapable of .being
touched with that tacit reproach if . he
despise , woman, after having despised
everything else, it is the last trait of his
condemnation; he no -longer belongs, to
the civilized world;. he. is a. barbarian. :
The second ministry which christian
civilization has created for woman, is the
.'ministry of; education. 1 ... .'. ..
To whom shall man, coming into the
world, be intrusted? To whose, care
shall he be confided to inspire him a good
soul ? Which is ' the hand . sufficiently
delicate, sufficiently ingenious, sufficient
ly tender, to impart gentleness to' that J tfcs corntr

-The American 'Agriculturist takes up
the cudgel in defense of, the despised but
seldom-kicked skunk, and . gives a good
notice.' Oar cotemporary says
' All summer long. he roams your apks

grubs; poking with hi3 .nose potato hills
where many worms are at work.' He is
after the grubs, not the tubors. He t3kes

every' prayer, every sigh of his mother
has been a divine will which flowed even
into hi3 soul and baptised it in honor and
sanctity. . The father has nOdirept influ

given . that her soul touched,- for nine
months, the soul of the" child, and im
pressed predispositions to truth, to good

after havingsowed them in the unknown
depths of her maternity.' The child ap
pears; he evades the "first ed'ueatiori in
the womb of his mother; -but he is re
ceived in hands blessed by civilization, he
has no more to dread murder or exposi
tion; he sleeps in peace under the pro
tection of his mother. And from the
moment he opens his eyes, which is the
first look he meets ? The pure and pious
look of a christian; And from the mo
ment a word, secretly conveying itself
through the winding cavities of the ear,
can introduce itself into his soul; who will
lell it to him ? Who will utter to him the
first' word, the first revelation, the first
voice of an intelligence to an intelligence 1
Who? Formerly it was the' Almighty;
now it is he yet, through our mother It
is the christian woman whd has succeeded
God in the sacred ministry of the first
word. When Adam heard it and the
flame of. his spirit was kindled by that
breath under the bright horizon of heav

And for us, when our heart awakes to
affection and our mind to truth, it is under

weight of maternal love that this prodigy

rives, the following statistics, in con
nection with the subject, tvhich will be
of interest to our readers :
; "One ' deg for each family in the
United States would be a vfiry moder
ate computation. This would give us
in round numbers probably 8,000,000
of dogs, each of whicli consumes an
nually food sufficient'; to raise a pig
worth . a? dollar: .The' cost, therefor,
of feeding tho dogs' of the - United
States is $8,000,000, which' amount
may be considered nearly if not quite
a 'dead loss, to the nation.,- : '
"A much more important .question
to consider, however, is howmany
millions of dollars are annually lost by
the sheep, and other domestic animals
killed by dogs. This question cannot
be solved until tho attention of f the
census takers cr assessors shall, be
directed to - the matter. Ohio, has
already made the experiment, and it
was found that tbe loss in that State of
the sheep killed and injured by dogs in
1761 amounted in value to 96,795,95.
The extensive wool growers In some
portions of the country, who-keep
choice breeds, have estimated ' their
indiylduahlosses by dogs at several
thousands of dollars., annually, not
withstanding the Utmost care, to pre
vent themj' The havvoc made by a
single dog who has become addicted to
sheep killing, is astonishing; and
when two or three dogs associate for
their work, as often happens, one or
to yisit3 will be sufHcient sometimes
to destroy a large fleck of sheep.. -.
