Woman has. by her influence, Lhe power to make or uiar domestic life We have often urged these truths on our rehders, but general propositions are dht so impressive as living illAtmtioni, and a work recently published in London • throws new ligltf on the hidden causes or The drcsdW degradation , exhibited by women in a penal prison, which seam to have their root in the utter want of good home training. A writer in an Fnglish journal remarks justly on this subject : ' The book is a suggestive one. Here are the extremes of vicea to which we only see remote tendencies in ourselves, our friends, our acquaintances and the outer world ; but enough to wakv painful sympathies, to see horrible likenesses, to make us own common nature. We begin .to realize, j more than in Ahoughtless security men care to do, ail we owe to the bene6cent chains of decorous habit, to immunity from extreme temptation, to training in the humanities of life " The authoress gives an appalling picture of thu wick- ' educes of these wretched women ; but the key is furnished in -bar graphic de- | scription of their neglected childhood •ad evil homes : "In the prison the teaching that should have begun with the women in their childhood is commsnced, and exercises, in a few instances, a salutary influence; but Ignorance, deep besotted ignorance, displays itself with almost every fresh woman on whom the key tarns in her cell. It is the great reason for keeping our prisons full, our judges always bo»y ; three fourths of onr prisoners, before their conviction, were unable to read a word, had no knowledge of a Blblsorirhet was In it, had never heard of a Saviour, and only remerabered -God's name us always coupled with a curse. Some women have been trained to be thieves, and worse thau thieves, by thair/octhera, taking their lemons in crime with a regularity and a periistuaoe that, turned to better things, would have made then loved and honored all their Uvea. They have been taught all that is aril, and the evil tree has flourished and born# fro it ; it ia the hardest task to train ao warped and dit torted a creation to the right and fitting way. P*Rlis be to those hardworking, utffiveehing priaeu chaplains who strive u their utmost, and urn Bot always uu- *- Vwrtlt life to frit re. »} • rWN Ms (TVS.

| On the other hanu, wherever there has j i been some good seed dropped into the | • tender heart of the Tittle girl, however 1 | imperfect and sparingly it may have i r i been imparted, its beneficial tendencies ' ] were apparent. To this the Reviewer I * ' alludes as a greater matter for eocoar- j • agement "that good teaching is seldom • I absolutely thrown away. The mind ' which, however unwillingly, or with 1 ' however little seeming profit, has received some religious troths iu childg, hood, is in a different condition from, g ' one whose earliest impressions were all ! . : evil. As fur as appearances go, a ten- j j der mother, a careful home, school, and i church may be forgotten, their good in1 1 flueuces disregarded, their memory t trampled upon ; yet eve*y seed that is | . i sown is not wholly and utterly cradicet- , ed." The prison Matron remarks that i , ' something of toothing Sunday influence | 9 > la to bo found even in a prison, sonic | ( little respect for the. Sabbath by the i 1 1 most obstinate prisoners : "It has struck me more than ouce that ' , j the best women — the good cqpduct wo- i . j men of ail classes — are often grave and _ I thoughtful (on Sunday.) Now enfd then] t ! a mutton suddenly entering a «*||, may : Sod a prisoner in tesrs ; and it At always ' . a prisoner who has had somo Riemblnuce > of a ho ne in early days, or iouie wellj meaning father or mm her." j * , Then tho capabilities off these sindarkened minds for the reception of 8 God's glorious truths, tit shown' in t many minute yet slrikii^; particulars, which the writer gives Jb, and rerunrknt ble trait* nrfi disclosed of 'the innate love of beauty and/ornament iu the , female mind. One buffering common to s all thsse women j* the absence of any . • thing to please' the taste. They evi- j , dently hunger/tor some gratification to ! . the eye, will- tear out the pictures from i , the -librery books to atick them on the ! ( walls of their cells, though only for an ' . hour or two, and shatch at the few k homely flowers in the airing ground, i which become such objects of envy and i contention that the theft is soon discov- , ered and punished. 8ays the authoress : t I have a remembrance «f looking r dhroogb the • inspection' of a cell some I I years ago, and perceiving a prisoner, j with her elbows on the table, staring at , a common daisy, which she had plucked from the ceotral patch of grass during , her rounds — one of those rode, repolt sire, yet not wholly bad prisoners, from , whom no display of sentiment wee arili- , cfpated. Yet the wistful look of tbst s woman at her stolen prize was a gleam . of as true scutimcui as ever breathed in t a poet's Hoc*. A painter might have . made much of ber position, and a phi- ' I loaopher might have moralized concern- ' iug it ; for the Wonfan wept at last, L dropping her bead- down on the table , between ber clasped hands, and shed her . bitter tears silently and noiselessly." These painful pictures are relieved to | us by the knowledge that aa yet we have I no socb places in our country filled with r multitudes of miserable women, as this i book describes the inmates of English i prisons. As yet tha crushing povfirty . jt fieropean civilization ia not felt in . To keep this immunity we , ant:: cultivate the virtues of home. We j - women must be in earnest to aid tha j . instruction of the poor. There should | , not be a little girl permitted to run the I . streets in rags and beggary. An insti* tntion is needed in every large city, , where socb neglected girla may be sent . and well oared for; but much now might be done by private benevolence. . We lately saw it recorded that the wife , of a Brooklyn lawyer has for tome time , past, opened her house every Saturday, , to receive tha little daughters of the poor; that about forty gather around . ber ; to these she gives a dinner, and then instrufcts them in sewtag ; and in 1 , other ways, by conversation, reading, j . and ringing, is aot oaly making their j lot oappicr, but preparing them by her j . wipe and tender care, to bteoiac useful j

i and good women. Such private charli i ties are among Use noblest deeds of hn- j ' ' manity. " UOl* AT HOTELS. . Hotels are certainly great blessings to 1 the traveling pnlllic. Alter a tiresome ' ' j ] and dusty journey, it is decidedly pleas- ' ! ant to find luxurious rest and good llv- - ( j ing in a fine hotel, even though yon j ( rhave to pay extravagantly for them. To endeavor to make a permanent home in , | a hotel, however, strikes os as being t | | anythiqg bnt consistent with those Ideas ■ j of retired privacy and , inner sanctity,'1 I : which we all associate with the name of ; ' home. Privacy in a hotel isionly notni- t i naJ ; the establishment is in one sense a j ( public thoroughfare, and the mere inter- j , [ vention of the wall of your room is not , , stifficienf'to mark the proper, homelike , ' | distinction of your domestic privacy < 1 : from your public amenability to ubscr- . ' ' 1 vation. Entire privacy is uunttuinable 1 ' at any hotel ; and for ^his reason, no ' l hotel is snitabki to be the permanent d r c home of a lady. If she remains a close ^ i prisoner In her own room, the servants , ■ wii( notice it. nnd from this gossip ilie ! , ' ^ rtitnriTT.li WlL"'* the talk or tbe par- r j ][ort ; if she goes~ok^frequeully, all the t 1 loungers of the esiabfrBWiC^nt will take . 1 ' I it upon themselves to menuYMliga ex- ' pianationi of her errands ; and if frolv^ sheer restleseuesa she roams about the p halls, tbe is liable to the rude stareM and 1 , pel haps salutations of the more anda- , cions passer a. 'We are not prepaid to , say that hotel* tare less appropriate homes for ladiea than ordiunry boarding j« | houses, but our advice to the fair s«x is, 1 J ihat they carefully avoid both.

Men of more auur- ' ance, whose tongues are llghtiy hong, ® who make words supply the place of g Ideas, and place compliment in the f room of sentiment, are tbe favoriteo.
