D ear F riends : —It would great pleasure to accept your invitation to attend the Convention, but as circum stances foibid my being present with you, allow me, in addressing you by letter, to*touch on ihose points of this great question which have, of late, much occupied my thoughts. It is o ten said to us, tauntingly, 11 Well, you have held Conventions, you have speechified and resolved, protested and appealed, and now, what next ? why do you nut do something ?” 1 have as often heard the reply, 44 We do not know what to do,” Having for some years rehearsed to the unjust judge our grievances, our le gal and political disabilities and social wrongs, let us glance at what tve may do —at the various rights of which we may, even now, quietly take possession. True, our right to vole we cannot exer cise until our State Constitutions are re modelled ; but we can petition our leg islators at every session, and plead our cause befote them. W e can make a manifestation by going to the polls, at each returning election, bearing banners with inscriptions thereon of great senti ments handed down to us by our revolu tionary fathers; such as 14 no taxation without representation,” 46 no govern ment can be formed without the consent of the governed,’* &c. We can refuse to pay all taxes, and like the English dissenters, suffer our goods to be seized and sold, if need be. Such manifesta tions would appeal to a class of minds that now take no note of our Conven tions or their proceedings ; who never dream, even, that woman thinks herself defrauded of a single right. The trades and professions are all open t > us ; let us quietly enter and make ourselves, if not rich and famous, at least independ ent and respectable. Many of them are quite proper to women, and some pecu liarly so. As merchants, postmasters and silversmiths, teachers, preachers and physicians, woman has already proved herself fully competent. Who so well fitted to fill the pulpits of our day as women ? All admit her superior to man in the affections, high moral sen timents, and religious enthusiasm ; and so long as our popular theology and rea son are at loggerheads, we have no need of acute metaphysicians or skillful logi cians in our pulpits. We want those who can make the most effective appeals to our Imaginations, our hopes and fears. Again, as physicians. How desirable are educated women in this profession ! Give tier knowledge commesurate with her natural qualifications, and there is no position woman could assume that distinguished individual first to make an innovation on this ancient time-sar.ction- ed custom, was no less a personage than a court prostitute, the Dutchess of Vil- liers, a favorite mistress of Louis XIV., of France.” This is a formidable evil, and productive of much immorality, misery, and crime. But now that some colleges are open to women, and ihe 11 Female Medical College of Pennsyl vania ” has been established for our sex exclusively, 1 hope this custom may be abolished as speedily as possible, for no excuse can be found for its continuance in the want of knowledge and skill in our own sex. It seems to me, the e x istence of this custom argues a much greater want of delicacy and refine ment in women, than would the practice of the profession by her, in all its vari ous branches. But the great work before us is the education of those just coming on the stage of action. Begin with the girls of to-day , and in twenty years we can rev olutionize this nation. The child hood of women must be free and un- tiammeled. The girl must be allowed to romp and play, climb, skate and swim ; her clothing must be more like that of a boy—strong, loose-fitting gar ments, thick boots, &c., that she may be out at all times, and enter freely into all kinds of sports. Teach her to go alone, by night and day, if need be, on the lonely highway, or through the busy streets <>t the crowded metropolis. The manner in which all courage and self- reliance is educated out of the girl—hei path portrayed with dangers and diffi culties that never exist, is melancholy indeed. Better, far, suffer occasional in sults, or die outright, than live the life of a coward , or never move without a protector. The best protector that any woman can have, one that will serve her at all times and in all places, is courage; this she must get by her own expert ence ; and experience comes by expo sure. Let the girl be thoroughly devel oped in body and soul—not modeled, like a piece of clay, after some artificial specimen of humanity, with a body like some plat? in Godey’s book of fashion and a mind after the type of Father Gregory’s pattern daughters, loaded down with .he traditions, proprieties, and sentimentalities of generations of silly mothers and grandmothers—but left free to be, to grow, to feel, to think, to act. Developement is one thing, and that system of cramping, restraining, torturing, perverting, and mistifying, called education, is quite another. We have had women enough befooled under the one system ; pray let us try the oth er. The girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be 44 a hand, not a mouth,” a worker and not a drone, in the great hive of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession. Women have relied hereto fore too entirely for support on the nee- A Pattern for Girls. ANTIOPE—THE CHOICE OF TELEMACHUS. A First Rate Speech, At the celebration at Dunkirk, on the occasion of the opening of the Erie Rail road, after the President and other big *4 Pale faces” had made speeches, Dr. Wilson, a Cayuga Chief of considerable notoriety, addressed the multitude. We believe it was pretty generally admitted to be the best speech of the day. We make an extract from it as reported for the Jamestown Journal: F ellow -C itizens :—I am a Cayugan, and regular descentant from the pure stock of native Americans, (Cheers.)— der, her discretion in the management I Gentlemen have boasted here to-night of her father’d house since the death of about Democracy : but Democracy was I. n x ii r r u But Antipoe—that which I feel for her has nothing like it ; it is not a pas sionate love, it is approbation, it is es teem, it is the approbation lhat I shall he happy if I can pass my life with her. If ever the gods return me to my father, and permit me to chose a wife, Antiope will be my choice.

My ancestors were Democrats long before the arts of civilization drove them from their hunting grounds and the quiet possession of their forest homes (Cheers.)

(Cries of u good, that’s light.”) The pale face has completrd a mighty work. He has over come the most imposing natural barriers; he has pierced the valleys of the Dela ware, Susquehannah, Chemuig, and Allegany, and leveled the hills which were roamed by my ancestors centuries ago. (Cheers.) Now their descend ants marvel at the doings of the mighty pale face. at the fire, smoke and speec of your iron horse, and run to us for protection.— | (Cheers.) But 1 trust the spirit of my age ‘‘Finally, when one sees her in a com. pany of women, holding in her hand a needle of gold, one might believe her Minerva, who had taken upon earth the form of mortal, and was teaching the fine arts to men. She animates others to labor, and sweetens their labor and weariness by the charm of her voice, singing all the marvellous histories of the O n gods, and she surpasses the most exquis ite paintings by the richness of her em broidery.” “ Happy, is the man whom sweet Hy men shall unite with her. He will fear only to lose her, and to survive her.” Menton replied—44 This lime, O Tele- rr.achus, your love is j u s t ; you love her with reasoable love, and the gods destine her for you.

(Cheers ) If the New York I ribune is to be believed, M auri age —M anaging M others .— If an unreasonable opposition to a daugh ter’s choice be not to prevail, I think that on the other hand, the parents, if their views of marriage be pure from worldliness are, justified in using a good deal of management—not more than they very often do use, but more than they are wont to avow or society is wont to countenance,—-with a view to putting their daughters in the way of such mar riages as they can approve. It is the way of the world to give such manage ment an ill name,— probably because it is most used by those who abuse it to worldly purposes ; and I have heard a mother' pique herself on never having taken a step to gel her daughter mar ried,—which appeared to me to have been a dereliction of one of the most es sential duties of a parent. If the moth er be wholly passive, either the daugh ters must take steps and use management for themselves (which is not desirable,) for the happiness and the most important interests of their lives, moral and spiritu al, must be the sport of chance, and take a course purely fortuitous ; and in many situations where unsought opportunities of choice do not abound, the results may be not improbably such a love and mar riage as a mother and every one else contemplates with astonishment. So .- e such astonishment I recollect to have expressed on an occasion of the kind to an illustrious poet and philosopher, whose reply J have always borne in mind when other such cases coma under my observation ” We have no reason to be surprised, unless we know what may have been the young ladies opportunities.

E ichleberoer , Pruning Stone-Fruit Trees, It has been but a few years since the cultivators of fruit have heenjn the htfbit of pruning peach trees at the extremi ties of the branches, instead of cutting off'limbs at the trunk. This system of shortening in, as it is called, is gaining ground, and is a great improvement. The reasons fur this mode of priming are ev-. ident on examination. Most kinds of stone-fruit grow rapidly, and beaf th*6 greatfer part of their fruit on new wood, which is, of course, near the ends of the limbs. In this way a tree spreads over much land, and has naked branches near the trunk ; and pruning ut the trunk causes the gum to ooze out, which some times endangers the health of the tree. On the contrary, by pruning at the ends of the brunches, the tiee is con fined to a small space, the wounds have no unfavorable effect, nr only affect the twigs, and not the trunk, and much new wood is produced for the production of fruit.—VV.

They were all Imr ed or rotted, an<f fell from the tree before they were ripe. Two or three other plum trees, of a dif ferent kind, which have borne less, shar ed the sarfte fate. Last year, a young tree which stood near an ash-leach, and which had never borne before, produced a solitary plum lhat was sound.

Care of Trees. People have now done setting fruit' trees fur this Spring and the next thing is to take care of them. People set out acres of trees and expect them to lake care of themselves. They buy by the' hundred at the loxvest prices, and think they have made good bargains. No mat ter, a tree is a tree, and a good for noth ing <%..<» will R’A \\*e act* destined for an orchard, as a tree lhat will bear good fruit.

But nut ainan in twenty is found who lakes the right care of his trees after setting. Farmers have so many m itiers to engage their alleulioti' through the Summer, lhat they neglect their trees and all the rules concerning them, that were learned in the Winter season. Trees will not grow well iff •green sward, though it may be ever so rich. The masses uf roots that are foumF in sward lurid are a harrier to the exten sion of the tree’s roofs in every direction. People are aware of this, and they dig about the trees How far ? Not a sixth part so far as a good set of roots1 would like to extend the first Summer. Trees recently set, need more rcoidture' ban others. But the grass draws up he moisture so rapidly, and sends it uffy that there is none left for the extremities of the tree roots. Cultivation, frequent stirring of the1 ground, is very useful where no lilte- i» applied to the surface. Stirring the sur face about garden plants and field plants, always tend io keep soil moist. Still* there is a better, and a cheaper mode ot keeping the soil in good order. This is mulching. Let old hay, or straw, or leaves be placed around the tr unk six in dies thick, and let it he confined tbeV/v by stones or bits of wood. This checks evapera'ion, supports tlw tree without a stake, and saves the labor of ploughing and hoeing through the Summer. This course will , insure a' eufficeint quantity of moisture' fbr tfitf new eel roots, provided the right kind off soil was made use of around then)'. This soil should consist of good gSrderf loam mixed well with old peat mud. In case the field is not already rich enough* for trees, it will be well to place strawy .manure on the surface around the trunks. Vfhis will support the trees, while it eiV- friches the soil that i'rf to sustain them. The reason why more wet is wanted* about a tree lhat is transplanted than before that time, is that all the root* which ran deepest and procured mois ture in the subsoil, are generally cut off or mutilated, and the tree fs'apt to suffer fur the want of its usual supply. Some men supply this want by watering tfu> ground ; but a better way is, to retain, the moisture that is in theso:l by proper applications and mixtures. Nnthfn'V holds moist longer than peat mud in the soil—and nothing belter on the surface to retain moisture ami check evaporation than some kind of litter, such os broken tftfaw, poor hay or leaves.— ploughman* for sale on acommodating terms.

Condorcet was one of the proscribed revolutionists, and he lived at the house of Madame Venet. An act was passed by the Convention, prescribing death as a punishment uf any one who should harbor any man charged with political offenses. On the passage of this act, Condorcet addressed Madame Venet as follows : “ Madame, I am sensible of your many kindnesses to m e ; and the more 1 esteem your goodness, the more 1 am under the obligation of an honest man not to abuse it. Tile Convention has proscribed all who shall harbor a politi cal offender, and should 1 be found in your house, you will meet the late that is denounced against me.

Mr. P. A.

He states that there are, on microscopic examination three pre vailing forms ol the transverse section of filament, viz :—the cylindrical, the oval, and eccentrically elliptical. There are also three directions in which it pier ces the epidermis, and is prolonged toils apex. The straight and lank,the flowing or curled, and the crisped or firizzled, differ respectively as to the angle which the filament makes with the skin on leaving it. While the cylindrical and oval pile has an oblique angle o f inclina tion, the eccentrically elliptical pierces the edidermis at right angles, and lies in the dermis perpendicular. The hair of the white man is oval ; that of the Choctaw and some other American Indians, is cyl indrical ; that of the negro is eccentrical ly elliptical or flat. The hair of the white man, has, besides its cortex and intenneiate firbdes.a central canal, which contains the coloring matter when pres ent. The wool of the negro has no central canal, and the coloring matter is diffused when present, either through out i ho cortex, or the intermediate fibres. Hair, according ter these observations, is more complex in its structure than wool. In hair the enveloping scales ore compartively few, with smooth smooth surfaces, rounded at their points, and closely . embracing the shaft.
