On barren heath and wold Lonjr, in this sinful country, I've wandered, poor and lone To every illness subject, To every weakness prone. Now, standing on the headlands, I greet the coming dawn Mine eyes drink in the glory Of the approaching morn.

I see my dear-lorec! Saviour, Clad in the purest white. And sky and huatb and headland Are bathed in golden light. The songs of raptured And her sweet voice 1 hear The mnrirur of the Eternal Sea Floats downward to my car. This earth is fading from me, No more the wild wind sigh more the days, all dreary, Go drifting sadly by. But, watching my Lords coiuing, With loviiiji, trusting failh I fold my hands so weary, And calmly wait for dealli.

Woman Suffrage. BY A WOMAN. Much has been sid and written by the women of our country, our public wo men, as I suppose they will not object to being called, on the subject of Woman Suffrage. We may take it for granted that it has called out the best woman talent to be found among those who advocated it.

That their best writers and speakers have said their best things in their best manner, not to speak of an immeasurable amount of lobbying at Washington, and talk in private circles, and directed their best efforts to accomplish what they deem to desirable an end. Few, however, I believe, have attempt ed to speak for that large class of the women ot our country, who do not see that good could be affected, either to their sex or to their country at large; by tue success ot eueli a uieatmiv, aud who, while they are 'not indifferent to anythiLg that concerns the public weal, would still be unwilling to see the right of suffrage extended to woman. Mr. Sumner, I think spoke truly as well as kindly, when, at the close of a long and interesting discussion of the subject in the Senate last winter, he said, that "when the women of the country wish to vote they will do so, but at present it is not the general wish of the sex to be admitted to the polls." This indifference on the part of the sex is frequently complained ot by women speakers on the subject, and felt to be one ef the greatest obstacles to its success, while much of their strength is spent in endeavors to awaken them to a sense ot the great wrongs which burden them, beseeching them to gird themselves to the battle which to wrest irom their great enemy, man, the rights of which he has so long and so unjustly deprived them. That there is a great backwardness the part of the women of our country to come up to the help of their strong-minded sisters in this matter is sufficiently evident, but that this backwardness arises from stolid indifference to the true interests of the ser.

from their being too deeply buried in "their airy nothings," or from their minds having been reduced by this bondage to such a "stubborn frame" that they cannot even see the actual wretchedness of their condition, may be questioned. 1 here are many who think seriously on this subject, to whom it is not yet given to see that the welfare of the sex or the safety of the country demands the opening ot a public or political career to woman. While they believe that the nature of their mission in this world is not less dignified or important than that of man, they do not believe that it calls them to the rolls, the Kostrum or tue Jiaus ol Congress. They cheerfull and, on behalf of their husbands, brothers, and sons, proudly admit the verdict of wise and thoughtful men, that in attempting to measure in tellectual no less than physical strength with the sterner sex, they would speedily be put "hors du combat," and decline to enter an arena on which they could expect only humiliating defeat. Conscious ot the deterence paid to trie truly wise aud good of their sex, and of the noiseless but powerful influence they may exert, it true to themselves ana their position iu society, they are satisfied with being "tne power Dcnma me inrone, ana not willing to risk losing the substance, bv srasping at a shadow.

While they lai.l to see that admission to the polls would work out any great advantage to woman, they believe that ereat and seri ous evils would grow out of it, for her but" these have been so ably set forth by many writers on the subject, especially by Dr. Todd in his recent letters in the Uovareaattonalist, tnat i neea oniy rwer to them here. Bevond and above this, they believe that oositive evils to the country, would result from wojnan suffrage, aud they love their country too well to have its safety jeopardized by what seems to them a doubtful experiment. We all know with what pertinacity and success the women of the South ad vocated the Febellion.at its inception, aud with what an all pervading power and influence, they helped to-tarry it on to the end. Will a beroisBi wliki would have been splendid hadajusi tSuse ennobled and sanctified it, they sent forth, even driving out, their husbands, lovers, and sons to the deadly strife, while the spirit, if not the letter of their injunction was, Return either bearing your shields or borne upon Now the experience of later residents' in the south will confirm me in the assertion that the women of that section are more bitter in their hatred of the north, and the general government at present than during the war or at its close.

But if the women of the north are ad mitted to the polls, so must be those of the south and most willingly would they if they could, take the power to do by the ballot, what thoy failed to do by the touguej voting away all our blood-bought progress of the last six years, and votiLg back a slaveholding confederacy. I think we have in this single example an illustration of the strength aud weakness of woman, and that it offers at least a suggestion, which it may not be amigs to heed when weighing the important question of Woman Suffrage. Nor need we look alone to the south for women who being easily influenced by prejudice and passion, would be unsafe voters. Women everywhere, being more emo tional than men, from the very texture of their minds, and the nature oc the pursuits to which they instinctively incline would be less competent to form those cool, deliberate judgments of men and things, which the safety of a state demands in those who decide its interests by the ballot. Why then cannot woman 1e content to aim at progress and perfection in those lines of duty or art which lie within her sphere, rather than attempt to take from the hands of man the avocations which properly belong to him Surely to be good is better for a woman than to be great, and eve a successful career iu politics, if it were possible to a few women, would not make thom more womanly or more loveable.

It could not make them more suitable companions for men, or fit them better for the sacred duties of wife and mother. Man must always go before woman in the wide fields of politics, of literature and forensic debate. It is his natural prerogative to do so. But it is no less her privilege and God- given right to go before him in the refinement, the moralities, the virtues of life, and thus be the guardian of the best part of his mauhcod.1 Far- from our country and our time be the day, when women snail descend irom thi3 high prerogative to mingle in "the strife- of tongues" and have their names bandied about by the careless multitude as candidates for offices which belong more, ap- propnately to men. The Grave of John Brown.

A correspondent of a New York pa per thus' describes the grave ot John Brown, which is situated in front of the house he used to occupy iu the town Of North Elba, New York, among the Adirondack mountains "The lot in which John Brown is buri ed lies east of the house, and corners to ward it, and separated from it by a space of onlv two or three rods. The fence on each side is three rods in length, five boards high rough and unpainted. In the middle ot the lot there is a rock of granite occupying a space upon the ground nearly square, and almost per pendicular upon all sides. I he north side is ten fcet high the opposite four, and the circumference five rods. Across the top, from the west to the east (standing on the south side,) you will read JOHN BROWN, 1859.

Each letter and figure is one foot high and nearly one wide, and cut one inch into the rock. Mr. Alexis Hinckley, the present owner and occupant of the house a gentlemanly and well-informed young man said to me "This work was done by a stone-cutter, J. A. Daniels.

He was sent here for that purpose by Wendell Phillips and Francis Lee. It took him three "days and a half to accomplish it." John Brown is buried with his fee to this rock, with his head to the west in a line with the two opposite corners of the lot and the house. The headstone is, of course, granite, three feet and two inches thick. It was procured and lettered a long time ago in Connecticut, for the grave of Captain John Brown; but, as it did not suit his children, it was never erected there, but remained till his son, who lies, there, brought it to Wesport, aud there left it. When Mrs.

Brown was with her husband in Virginia prison, as I understand, he expressed a wish to be buried near his house in North. Elba, and have this stone placed at his head. Although other inscriptions are upon it, still, only one body lies here. Here and thus as I have desoribed lies the body of one who, by a single daring deed, shook the world as with the suddenness of a thnnderbolt. Aud here my thoughts naturally ran upon the great events that this one deed hastened, modified or produced.

I have never been a follower of John Brown, but, standing by his grave and looking off and around, I can truly say how wonderful 1 In this high region is the rock that I have described. To appearance, for several miles each way from this rock, the earth is comparatively level, though undulating and beautifully diversified by lakes, streams and groves. All around beyond this distance the earth rises into hundreds of mountains and hills; rearing their summits into the heavens and foruiing an entire circle. Among them you find Mount Marcy the highest in the State also, Mount Mclntyre, Mount McMartin, Whiteface, and others, ranking in the first class. It does appear as thongh God had prepared this spot for some specific object.

Was this rock placed here purposely, as a monument for the one who alone and silently lies at its base Was this mountain chain designedly reared to wall this spot aronnd Ana-lastly "Pilgrim to" wh3t is called, "th' shrine of John1 Brown, tbte martyr," a you enter this circle through, dark and deep mountain' passes, does ypnr consi-ence whisper "This is sacred' ground Nearly every day people from a' distance visit this place- 1859.

"Troo," sed the blessed old peace uv innocence, "troo, troo, but then, to balance that, Johnson ain't much uv a President, yoo know." And to the honary degrees was conferred and notice thereof wuz sent him im-mejitly. From this the question uv the next nominee uv the party for President oum up. Bascum, who ttint a far-seeiu man, asserted that it wood be necessry to nominate Grant.

The Deekin thot it wood be safe, but McPelton thought different. He didn't bleeve in the first place that it become a peace party, or at least a party wicb ef it dipped its hands iu gore at all it did mostly in Northen gore, to take up a Northern General wicb. hed done his best toward sendin many thousands of Southerners to their long homes, and besides the General woodn't want itl 'n. fiascom wanted to know the conference at Long Branch nieant Ef Gen.

They got the Lion out, but ez soon ez he cast his eyes onto the crowd ho uttered a roar which struck terror into their soles and lashed the ground with his tail, aud cast up dust with bis claws in such a manner fearful to behold.

"He'll never stand, it said Wood, "ohless he's and Thurlow wrapped Raymond like a wet dish-rag over his eyes, and that done, hiui and Raymond paired his nails and blunted, his teeth, so that if the bandage should wriggle off and he shood see where he wuz he eoodent hurt anybody, and shaved his mane, till he looked like a very innocent Lion indeed, so that his appearance woodent startle them not used to his fiercenis, and in that condisheii they led him very quietly down to the crowd and give the word to mount.

They piled on from the tip nv his ears to the end uv his tail, and them wich eoodent git on for lack uv room hung to the feet uy them wich hed got on, until it wuz nothin less than a pyramid of democrats."

M. (Wich is Postmaster.) Wanted! An Asylum for Monarches. The London Morning Herald has no tually fallen to making fun of royal personages who have had losses. In an article upon the late King Otho.ot Greece it remarks "It would be ridiculous, indeed, to. affirm tLat the odds are greatly in favor of a long Danish dynasty at Athens.

It attempts to console King George with the reflection that he will be in very good company, and probably will find himself quite as comfortable out of his "White-washed palace" as Athens at in it. "Many a St. Germains is required for the disposesscd soverigns of Europe, His Mnjesty, formerly of Naples, is in retirement; His Majesty, formerly of Hanover, has been discrowned; the Dukes crDuchesse3 reghant of Parma and Modena are in private life and we know what a royal bevy of illustrious descent and of unchallenged virtue finds a home, and almost a loyalty of welcome among ourselves.

Breakage of Lamp Chimneys. The cause of lamp chimneys being so brittle and breaking so easy, is owing to the material they are made from. (There is shoddy in glass as well as in cloth.) Cheapness being the order of the day a great many manufacturers make chimneys from silicate of lime insteml of silicate of lead.

The Glass made from tho silicate of lime has about the following proportions Sand 100 soda, 45 lime, 20 to 25 niter 7 to 10. Lime behrg a non-conductor of heat the chimney will not bear the expansion caused by the heat, and if by gradual heating tiro chimney does not break on tho lamp, a few times heating makes it so brittle that it breaks with the least effort of -cleaning it, no mattor how much care is used. Tho silicate of lead has about the following proportions, Band, 100; lead 40, to 50; soda 20 to 25; niter, 10 to 15. Lead being very ductile and a good conductor of heat, a chimney made from this formula will almost melt before it wilf crack with the heat. Tho uninitiated may tell the difference of th chimneys made by these different qualities of glass by ringing them, the vibration from the leadgtass chimney has a sweet bell-IiKe sound, while the lime glass has a short harsh sound.

The difference of the cost to manufacture is only in material, about 15 cents per dozen. Another point is ia annealing chinmeys as a general role are not under a powerful microscope the difference can be seen in the glass, the particles in tho annealed' lie close and compact, while the unaneal-ed seem to diverge.
