MISCE LLANEOUS. \ WOULD THAT THE LOVED WERE VVIT1

US STILL. 11 We call them through the long, long night, but the

ansicer us not again."1 They have gone—the loved ones of earth havi

, gone, We hear no longer their joyous tone; We list in vain for their sprightly tread: Love may not waken the silent dead ;

They know not what yearnings our fond heart:

f! fiU; i Would that the loved ones were with us still!

y | Brightly the glittering sunbeams throw ; A flush of light on the cold pure snow; ! Eike the last sweet smile, on the pale calm brow

\ Of the loved who are sleeping in darkness now! That smile yet lives in our hearts so chill;

C Would that the loved ones were with us still!

n

y There is mirth again round the old hearth stone ii But we miss the glee of an absent one;

There’s a hush of joy for the perished word, s And the laugh that the fountains ot gladnes< e stirr’d,

That laugh like the voice of the silvery rill; Would that the loved ones were with us still!

I We miss too, the glance of those sunlit eyes, > Which in memory’s vision before us rise,

Sweet tones that breathed on the morning air, The hymn of praise arid the voice ot prayer; Our hearts yet vibrate to their deep thrill; Would that the loved ones were with us still!

j In vain! we have loved them, alas! too well; ! They weie unto us a binding spell; How may we place on earth's beautiful dust, Ever again our heart’s deep trust'

Who may the void in our bosoms (ill? Would that the loved ones were with us still!

Read Mrs. Rose’s pathetic description of wo- I (

j men’s wrongs :

I “In government they are net known, but to he i punished for breaking laws in which they have no voice in making. All avenues to enterprize and honor arc closed against f ern. If poor,

1

they must drudge for a mere pittance; if of the n'p'iltl»v tlu-v must dressed dolls of

I fashion—parlor puppets—female things. v\ hen

single, they must be dependent on their parents or brothers, and when married, swallowed up in

their husbands. Nothing ol nobleness, of dignity and of elevation is allowed to exist in the female. All such traits in her are indelicate and unbecom-

ing. A few are allowed to thrum the keys ol a

piano—to smatter a little French or Italian—to do cunning needle work—to study the combined colors of the rainbow; but then how mascu-

line, indelicate, and unwoman like for her to pry into the heavier sciences, into the falsely *.o cal-

led, sciences of politics and religion. She may lean upon a gentlemar’s arm, but to travel alone

would he immodest and vulgar. '\ his state of so-

ciety does not recognize woman’s equality. Her living is in the hands of man. .My sisters, speak out for yourselves. Tyrants never will willing- ly relinquish their grasp. All that the lords of creation will yield will be what they are forged to do by public sentiment.

“Know you not, who would be free, Herself must strike the blow.”

From ibis quotation, it is to be supposed, she

contemplated an appeal to the ultima ratio mun- ! erutn—the last right of women—the right to pro- scribe proscription, “peaceably, it they can; for-

cibly, if they must.” Airs. Rose K or.o of the pioneers of .social reor-

ganisation. Her first step, of course, is to over-

throw all present 1m.u1uwo.115, su wai

begin de. novo, arid establish a second edition of Adam’s paradise here, where sin cannot enter.

I The future can, alone, decide her success or

! failure; not her motives, which, of course, are be- i vond suspicion. i' pity, Willis demolished Mrs. Pobasco in an ar-

! tide: she would have proved an useful auxiliary

j to Mrs. Rose.

j We copy the following description of Mr. 1 Die kin«on’s splendid printing establishment from

I the Mercantile Journal of Boston :—

Great Printing Establishment.—The im-

provements which have been introduced into ma-

i iiy branches of the mechanical arts within a few • years in this country, are vciy numerous, arid

• important, and are well calculated to sustain the l character for ingenuity and enterprise. And per-

haps in no branch of-the mechanic art*, have more improvements been made than in the Art of Printing—an art which is doing more to ex-

pend the blessings of civilization, and elevate the character of the human race, than any art

I extant, or, we had almost said, all the other uiU

combined. A large and well conducted, and well arrang-

ed Job Printing Office, is now a curiosity, well

worthy the attention of tho*e who have a ta*te

for the mechanic art*, and rejoice in the march

of excellence, and the most remark ible curiosity of this nature which \va have ever seen, is the

! Printing Office n! S. X. Dickinson in this city, the principal entrance of which is No. b2 W asli-

inglon street. Mr. Dickinson is well known for his enterprise

as a mechanic, his taste as a printer, and his

j zeal lor improvement. The capita! which lie i has now invested, is very large, his business is

very extensive, and his establishment may be

said to be truly on a grand scale, comprising sev-

eral large apartments in the third story fronting i on Washington street, and the attic rooms above,

and communicating with the large brick biock

iri Wilson’s lane, including all the room for mer-

le rly occupied as the Printing Offices of the Mer- : caniile Journal and the Christian Watchman.

We recently took a lour around this establish-

ment, and were surprised at the number of presses which were in operation, some by human agency, and some by the mvisiDle agency,oi sintm; iui mi.

J). lias a steam engiueoi a remarkably neat appearance, manufactured by Mr, Otis 1 utts, connected

with'his establisment, winch performs its labor

vvitlii-ut noise, and apparently without effort.—

Among these presses are three of the rotary pres- : st.s mhuature editions, for printing cards, &e.; two of Ruggles’s improved job presses, one small

t 1

PN lender Napier press, for printing circulars, hills, : &c.; several Tufls's hand presses, several Ad-

, s a ms’s power presses, and one large Napier press jun which the Boston Daily Atlas is worked.—

; j of these presses are in constant operation throwing utf with great rapidity, business and vh-

t it ing cards, handbills, circulars, pamphlets, and ) j sheets of books of various characters. Mr. Dick-

i iiusori has been at considerable expense in mak-

i ing his arrangements for printing cards for dif-

ferent purposes. lie will print them plain, m

gilt letters, or in variegated colors, and beautiful* I lv embossed, and indeed he will execute all kinds

1 of fancy work in a. style not.surpassed on thh *

I side of the Atlantic. The pies'* by which tin

embossing process is done, is a machine oi gieiii n

simplicity, yet of very great power. Anothei

press of a similar character, aiid of a hdrizonta

r platter, is used for tbe purpose oi printing cop,

per or steel plates, by a direct impression;-and wt

e sawf some beautilul impressions taken oi a fin<

d map of Boston, intended for the Boston Almanac * Then for pressing the sheet**, there is a h.ydrati ! iiC press, which is a great curiosity in ibeil—i 1 will exercise a force of a thousand tons. 1 hi

‘Si Printing Office is all’admirably arranged, tb<

>g i0b type being placed in regular order, accord»v in to the size of letter, and extending with the case

upwards of one hundred feet. The ornamenu

much care and ta«te, and including the latest anJ most approved styles.

Air. Dickinson has also added to his establishment a Type Foundry. In addition to his Amer- ican faces cf type, he has recently imported, at

y a heavy expense, a complete series of Scotch cut

faces, from an old established toundry in Kdiu- J burgh. In size they range from Diamotid up to

Pica, and as a whole, or single, present one of the most elegant specimens of well-cut and high ly-fimsjied letter that we have ever seen. 1 hose

cuttings, or matrices, enable him to iurnish type * of a remarkably neat appearance, and character

decidedly more durable than any heretofore rnan-

I ufactured in this country. The Type which he has thus far made, h*s, we believe, given much

j satisfaction, and he will doubtless receive orders

t ; faster than he can execute them.

Stereotyping is another branch ot bus ness

* connected with his establishment I bis depurt- | merit is superintended by Air. John Haton. who

j was for fifteen years engaged in this business at > the boston Type and Stereotype Foundry, and
