NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY. MORNING, MARCH 28, 1856. Female ‘Literature.—datie Kyre, A'sketch of a lecture delivered before the Lowell Institute, Boston, by G. W. Curtis, author of the Potiphar Papers : We must have read to little purpose, if we had not seen that a woman in modern society who has a strong character, fine and fastidious taste, a nature that demands scope, and a heart capable of makitig the love of woman become poetry and the substance of history—feels the want of a career. Most women married, and sought it there. Other women took to literature, and ealled upon the World to “stand and deliver” sympathy, as reduced gentlemen in old time took to the road, and demanded our money. Many pined in apathy ; and yet this great sadness, this tragedy of the female heart did not get into literature till lately, and that was the greatest won der of all. “Did we suppose it was only benevolence sent Florence Nightingale to the Crimea ? She was chafing with unoceupied powers, till this opportunity was presented to her yearning heart. Mr. Curtis paid an eloquent tribute to her humanity, mentioning also in phrase of highest compliment Margaret Fuller. He was fully aware of the Mrs. Grundy view of this. He knew that anxious lady wished to know if we would wish our sisters and mothers to do those things. No, Mrs, Grundy would like our sisters to wear their bonnets low in the neck, and a large hoop in the skirt ; to say “who are those people ?”—she would like them to speak French and Italian, and know nothing of life—@Would think it wrong to be absent from church because it was respectable to attend—to make sensible, not romantic marriages—to live ina house more splendid than our neighbors ; be very cross to the servants, and sing sweetly at charity concerts behind the curtains. (Laughter and applause.) That, we thought, would be lady-like and feminine, That was our ideal of character for our sisters; and as for poor Florence Nightingale, Evangeline, and Qssoli, they were only ladies for knights like Sir Philip Sidney and the Chevalier Bayard to love, and bards like Shakspeare and Milton to sing. The religious democracy which claims that a woman shall be honored as woman, even as as man is as man, found its development in the most searching novel ever written, the “Jane Eyre” of Charlotte Bronte, or Currer Bell. Is a woman the most beautiful creation, and is genius the most dazzling power in the ‘world ; and when they are united, could we fail to bow and do homage? Had we not a tear for this woman, as well as a etown for this author? Should that sad, short, solitary life end so soon, and the promise and hope of great performance end suddenly forever ; and we fling no flower upon the grave? Who had read Jane Eyre, who had not ? and should that eye be closed, and we not feel the darkness ? Nearly forty years ago an Irish clergyman married a girl against the will of her relations and took a curacy ina solitary mountainous district in Yorkshire. The Rey. Patrick Bronte led a solitary life, and was agreat student: His wife died early, and left him six children. Two of them died, but two sisters and a brother remained. The daughters went to a school for the daughters of poor clergymen, a kind of Dothe-girls hall, and there suffered as Smike did under Squeets. They longed for food which the physicians who test: ed it threw away as unfit to eat; and the youngest child was dwarfed by severe privation. From school they returned home. The Reverend Patrick Bronte still kept in his study, and did not even eat with the family, (indeed, the food was hardly worth coming down stairs for.) At the age of nineteen, Charlotte says she would have been content with a penny a week ; but on one occasion, when she asked her father for a small sum, he looked at her with great astonishment, and asked what woman wanted with money. (Laughter.) Charlotte and her sisters becarhe governesses. The three afterwards lived together. “You cannot have a heroine interesting, if she is not beautiful,” said two of the pale, pining sisters. “I will make a small pale woman an interesting heroine,” said the smallest, youngest sister of all. So they agreed they would each writea story; and they read and talked them over with each other. Charlotte was near-sighted, and wrote in a small square paper book, which she held near toher eyes. The fire of feeling consumed her, and, hurried on by the interest of the story, she fell into a fever. The Rev. Patrick Bronte knew nothing of the literary revolution that was going on in his front entry! He worshipped books, and had a moderate respect for women. He did not know that his daughter was writing one of the most remarkable books of the age. The three books were published. They were all in the same strain, and dealt with English country life. When these novels were announced, the fact was beginning to be surmised that English rural life was not all lawns, and picturesque mansions; all these books, more clearly than any English stories ever written, clearly revealed the deep shade to the otherwise lovely picture of English country life, and showed that the family of Squire Western had immensely multiplied and extended itself. Mr. Curtis then gave a sketch of Charlotte Bronte, whom he described as a little shy country girl, so shy that she cried on seeing strangers; brown hair, reddish complexion, wide me uth—broad, square, overhanging forehead, hands like bird claws, &c.; but with the sweetest light in her eyes and a radiant heroism beaming all over the face, which shone over the corpse of her lost youth, shone in her memory as Heaven shines over agrave. This woman came and shook the world by the heart, and said “this is Jane Eyre, no goddess, but a governess ; she owes none of sympathy to the red ofher cheeks or the yellow of her gold, but everything to the loyalty and integrity of her character.”— For it was not only the vividness of char. acterization, nor the novelty of her plot— it was not, and never was, mere literary excellence which gave this reputation; but . it was the profound humanity, it was the! quiet scorn of the accessories to success ini . fiction—its bold faith in human nature; its . perfect freedom from dandyism, and its’ tone of religious earnestness without cant or meanness, which instantly gave Jane . Eyre that hold of the heart which it will not let go. Jane Eyre was like a powerful ally coming up to the battle in behalf of humanity. She hailed Thackeray as her leader, and rode into the field showing his colors. Mr. Curtis then adverted facetiously to the dreadful amount of’ trashy twaddle which had lately flooded the world from female pens. e said it had Jately been his duty to look over the whole ground of eshtemporanecous English fiction, and he was amazed atthe proportion which women’s books bear to men’s, The petis of the ladies flew as nimbly as their needles. Nobody wrote reviews of all these nov-! els, because nothing was to be said of them. We fancied their authors were! tired of crotchet, and so took to this cruel . work, The moral of all these works was suspicious, because it was not a pure mor-. al—the tendency of our story telling, es-. pecially in the hearts of females, was the! temporal beatification of virtue. Now the moral of life was not of this kind. The Industrious Apprentice by no means ends } always as Lord Mayor, and many an Idle! Apprentice dies in a comfortable French . bed. Thackeray was the most ponderous Protestant against this nursery and primer . view of human life. Jane Eyre was the most striking heroine in English fiction since Scott’s Jeannie Deans. e great value of Jane Eyre was the splendor of its vindication of woman 4s woman. It was pure character! that triumphed in the story. Its strong book of woman’s life. It wasintense with subdued passion; and there was such an identification of the individual with the landscape that it became absolutely dramatic. Jane Eyre was the greatest novel ever written by a woman. —oor A. A. Conen.—A San Francisco correspondent of the New York Tribune, hav. ing spoken in praise of the honesty and. business habits of A.

A California Wedding. About a week since « fast yoting imati, whom we shall ¢all Horace, became ac? quainted in this city with a young; beautiful, spirited, fascinating and devil-maycare widow, whom we shall style Arabella. Horace was particularly pleased with hiry and she appeared to be especially pleasea with him; and he became very attentive to her. After their acquaintance had lasted several daysshe told him that her betrothed (whom we shall style as Sylvester) had scolded her for flirting with him (Horate.) He expressed his regret, and said he tvould not stand in the way any more: She, however, insisted that he should, for she had given Sylvester notice to quit; at the same time she said she had made up her mind to go to St. Patrick’s Ball, and she wished to know whether he would not take her there. He went: she went; they trent. : Horace had been for some tite intending to go to Nicaragua on the steamer of the 20th March, and in his attention to Arabella did not intend any thing more than a little harmless flirtation. On the 18th, however, in the course of some conversation she spoke again of her rejected lover, and said she had discarded him only on account of his (Horace’s) sake.—. Horace was too gallant to listen unmovod to such language, and so he said at onco, “Madam, rather than that you should lose any thing by that, just consider yourselfengaged to me.” She replied, ‘all right.” “On the 19th he tentto see het again He said that he was poor, and he intended to start for Niearagua in two days. She, not at all taken aback, said she had money —she would sell her furniture, and she would go wita him. He said he had not enough money to pay her passage. She replied, that as soon as the bank should open, the next morning, he Would hare money. After he left he went to consult a friend, whom we shall call Frank. Frank went in the evening to sce Arabella, said he was Horace’s friend, and if she intended the betrothal to pass for a joke, it was time it should end. She protested that she was most serious. He said that in such case the marriage must take place that evening. She replied—‘You go get Horace, put on white vests and kids, invite & few friends, andI will send for a priest, and have everything ready by the time you come back.” Frank put off, hunted up Horace, ané they hunted up their friends; and finally about midnight, having beet detained tilt that time in getting their party together, they went to the bride’s house. As they drew near they heard the sounds of music, and saw dancers flying past the windows. They were little astonished, but marched up. Frink walked in, and an acquaintance asked why he had not come to the wedding. Frank replied he had come to “Yes,” says the other, “but you're too late; they were married about an hour ago.” ‘Who? “Sylvester and Arabel4a.” Frank inquired the particulars, and then went out and told Horace, who was “They have had their fun, now we'll have ours.”?” He walked into the dancing-room, threw himself into a theatrical attitude, and exclaimed, “‘G—dd—n you, clear out! I’m going to take this house! I’m a filibuster!” And thereupon, with his big cane, at one sweep he eleared a large waiter of a host of decanters and glasses. The women shrieked, the music stopped, and the party scattered towards all sides as the large chandalier and other glass-ware followed the decanters. Sylvester made at the filibuster, but was felled by a blow of the latter’s eane. Sylvester’s friends started to attack Horace but they too were knocked down. Sylvester rose upon his knecs and drew a pistol. Frank kicked at the pistol but missed it, and the next moment the pistol ball cut off about one-sixteenth of an inch from the tip end of Frank’s nose, and also passed through Horace’s cravat, and within half an inch of his jugular yein. Several blows of his cane made Sylvester peaceable; and then he “pite)ed into” a large mirror, and made mince iticians who swarm about the Capitol, be. mcat of it, and after having gratified his has maintained his dignity, consistency and . destructiveness by a grand smash of chairs hy oo hye: —_ as we = opt ae . end.tablen, me spared: In going Fags! as he lent himself to any scheme of spec-. he was artcsted, but was permitted to ulation.

As they reached the staircase, the “victimized” was met descending to the strect, and as his eye fell upon the giggling group, he exclaimed, “For Heaven’s sake don’t say a devellish word —the “Fashion” is just below, and I tender you a ‘general’ invitation to ‘imbibe.’ They accepted.” — Union.

NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY. MORNING, MARCH 28, 1856. Female ‘Literature.—datie Kyre, A'sketch of a lecture delivered before the Lowell Institute, Boston, by G. W. Curtis, author of the Potiphar Papers : We must have read to little purpose, if we had not seen that a woman in modern society who has a strong character, fine and fastidious taste, a nature that demands scope, and a heart capable of makitig the love of woman become poetry and the substance of history—feels the want of a career. Most women married, and sought it there. Other women took to literature, and ealled upon the World to “stand and deliver” sympathy, as reduced gentlemen in old time took to the road, and demanded our money. Many pined in apathy ; and yet this great sadness, this tragedy of the female heart did not get into literature till lately, and that was the greatest won der of all. “Did we suppose it was only benevolence sent Florence Nightingale to the Crimea ? She was chafing with unoceupied powers, till this opportunity was presented to her yearning heart. Mr. Curtis paid an eloquent tribute to her humanity, mentioning also in phrase of highest compliment Margaret Fuller. He was fully aware of the Mrs. Grundy view of this. He knew that anxious lady wished to know if we would wish our sisters and mothers to do those things. No, Mrs, Grundy would like our sisters to wear their bonnets low in the neck, and a large hoop in the skirt ; to say “who are those people ?”—she would like them to speak French and Italian, and know nothing of life—@Would think it wrong to be absent from church because it was respectable to attend—to make sensible, not romantic marriages—to live ina house more splendid than our neighbors ; be very cross to the servants, and sing sweetly at charity concerts behind the curtains. (Laughter and applause.) That, we thought, would be lady-like and feminine, That was our ideal of character for our sisters; and as for poor Florence Nightingale, Evangeline, and Qssoli, they were only ladies for knights like Sir Philip Sidney and the Chevalier Bayard to love, and bards like Shakspeare and Milton to sing. The religious democracy which claims that a woman shall be honored as woman, even as as man is as man, found its development in the most searching novel ever written, the “Jane Eyre” of Charlotte Bronte, or Currer Bell. Is a woman the most beautiful creation, and is genius the most dazzling power in the ‘world ; and when they are united, could we fail to bow and do homage? Had we not a tear for this woman, as well as a etown for this author? Should that sad, short, solitary life end so soon, and the promise and hope of great performance end suddenly forever ; and we fling no flower upon the grave? Who had read Jane Eyre, who had not ? and should that eye be closed, and we not feel the darkness ? Nearly forty years ago an Irish clergyman married a girl against the will of her relations and took a curacy ina solitary mountainous district in Yorkshire. The Rey. Patrick Bronte led a solitary life, and was agreat student: His wife died early, and left him six children. Two of them died, but two sisters and a brother remained. The daughters went to a school for the daughters of poor clergymen, a kind of Dothe-girls hall, and there suffered as Smike did under Squeets. They longed for food which the physicians who test: ed it threw away as unfit to eat; and the youngest child was dwarfed by severe privation. From school they returned home. The Reverend Patrick Bronte still kept in his study, and did not even eat with the family, (indeed, the food was hardly worth coming down stairs for.) At the age of nineteen, Charlotte says she would have been content with a penny a week ; but on one occasion, when she asked her father for a small sum, he looked at her with great astonishment, and asked what woman wanted with money. (Laughter.) Charlotte and her sisters becarhe governesses. The three afterwards lived together. “You cannot have a heroine interesting, if she is not beautiful,” said two of the pale, pining sisters. “I will make a small pale woman an interesting heroine,” said the smallest, youngest sister of all. So they agreed they would each writea story; and they read and talked them over with each other. Charlotte was near-sighted, and wrote in a small square paper book, which she held near toher eyes. The fire of feeling consumed her, and, hurried on by the interest of the story, she fell into a fever. The Rev. Patrick Bronte knew nothing of the literary revolution that was going on in his front entry! He worshipped books, and had a moderate respect for women. He did not know that his daughter was writing one of the most remarkable books of the age. The three books were published. They were all in the same strain, and dealt with English country life. When these novels were announced, the fact was beginning to be surmised that English rural life was not all lawns, and picturesque mansions; all these books, more clearly than any English stories ever written, clearly revealed the deep shade to the otherwise lovely picture of English country life, and showed that the family of Squire Western had immensely multiplied and extended itself. Mr. Curtis then gave a sketch of Charlotte Bronte, whom he described as a little shy country girl, so shy that she cried on seeing strangers; brown hair, reddish complexion, wide me uth—broad, square, overhanging forehead, hands like bird claws, &c.; but with the sweetest light in her eyes and a radiant heroism beaming all over the face, which shone over the corpse of her lost youth, shone in her memory as Heaven shines over agrave. This woman came and shook the world by the heart, and said “this is Jane Eyre, no goddess, but a governess ; she owes none of sympathy to the red ofher cheeks or the yellow of her gold, but everything to the loyalty and integrity of her character.”— For it was not only the vividness of char. acterization, nor the novelty of her plot— it was not, and never was, mere literary excellence which gave this reputation; but . it was the profound humanity, it was the! quiet scorn of the accessories to success ini . fiction—its bold faith in human nature; its . perfect freedom from dandyism, and its’ tone of religious earnestness without cant or meanness, which instantly gave Jane . Eyre that hold of the heart which it will not let go. Jane Eyre was like a powerful ally coming up to the battle in behalf of humanity. She hailed Thackeray as her leader, and rode into the field showing his colors. Mr. Curtis then adverted facetiously to the dreadful amount of’ trashy twaddle which had lately flooded the world from female pens. e said it had Jately been his duty to look over the whole ground of eshtemporanecous English fiction, and he was amazed atthe proportion which women’s books bear to men’s, The petis of the ladies flew as nimbly as their needles. Nobody wrote reviews of all these nov-! els, because nothing was to be said of them. We fancied their authors were! tired of crotchet, and so took to this cruel . work, The moral of all these works was suspicious, because it was not a pure mor-. al—the tendency of our story telling, es-. pecially in the hearts of females, was the! temporal beatification of virtue. Now the moral of life was not of this kind. The Industrious Apprentice by no means ends } always as Lord Mayor, and many an Idle! Apprentice dies in a comfortable French . bed. Thackeray was the most ponderous Protestant against this nursery and primer . view of human life. Jane Eyre was the most striking heroine in English fiction since Scott’s Jeannie Deans. e great value of Jane Eyre was the splendor of its vindication of woman 4s woman. It was pure character! that triumphed in the story. Its strong book of woman’s life. It wasintense with subdued passion; and there was such an identification of the individual with the landscape that it became absolutely dramatic. Jane Eyre was the greatest novel ever written by a woman. —oor A. A. Conen.—A San Francisco correspondent of the New York Tribune, hav. ing spoken in praise of the honesty and. business habits of A.

A California Wedding. About a week since « fast yoting imati, whom we shall ¢all Horace, became ac? quainted in this city with a young; beautiful, spirited, fascinating and devil-maycare widow, whom we shall style Arabella. Horace was particularly pleased with hiry and she appeared to be especially pleasea with him; and he became very attentive to her. After their acquaintance had lasted several daysshe told him that her betrothed (whom we shall style as Sylvester) had scolded her for flirting with him (Horate.) He expressed his regret, and said he tvould not stand in the way any more: She, however, insisted that he should, for she had given Sylvester notice to quit; at the same time she said she had made up her mind to go to St. Patrick’s Ball, and she wished to know whether he would not take her there. He went: she went; they trent. : Horace had been for some tite intending to go to Nicaragua on the steamer of the 20th March, and in his attention to Arabella did not intend any thing more than a little harmless flirtation. On the 18th, however, in the course of some conversation she spoke again of her rejected lover, and said she had discarded him only on account of his (Horace’s) sake.—. Horace was too gallant to listen unmovod to such language, and so he said at onco, “Madam, rather than that you should lose any thing by that, just consider yourselfengaged to me.” She replied, ‘all right.” “On the 19th he tentto see het again He said that he was poor, and he intended to start for Niearagua in two days. She, not at all taken aback, said she had money —she would sell her furniture, and she would go wita him. He said he had not enough money to pay her passage. She replied, that as soon as the bank should open, the next morning, he Would hare money. After he left he went to consult a friend, whom we shall call Frank. Frank went in the evening to sce Arabella, said he was Horace’s friend, and if she intended the betrothal to pass for a joke, it was time it should end. She protested that she was most serious. He said that in such case the marriage must take place that evening. She replied—‘You go get Horace, put on white vests and kids, invite & few friends, andI will send for a priest, and have everything ready by the time you come back.” Frank put off, hunted up Horace, ané they hunted up their friends; and finally about midnight, having beet detained tilt that time in getting their party together, they went to the bride’s house. As they drew near they heard the sounds of music, and saw dancers flying past the windows. They were little astonished, but marched up. Frink walked in, and an acquaintance asked why he had not come to the wedding. Frank replied he had come to “Yes,” says the other, “but you're too late; they were married about an hour ago.” ‘Who? “Sylvester and Arabel4a.” Frank inquired the particulars, and then went out and told Horace, who was “They have had their fun, now we'll have ours.”?” He walked into the dancing-room, threw himself into a theatrical attitude, and exclaimed, “‘G—dd—n you, clear out! I’m going to take this house! I’m a filibuster!” And thereupon, with his big cane, at one sweep he eleared a large waiter of a host of decanters and glasses. The women shrieked, the music stopped, and the party scattered towards all sides as the large chandalier and other glass-ware followed the decanters. Sylvester made at the filibuster, but was felled by a blow of the latter’s eane. Sylvester’s friends started to attack Horace but they too were knocked down. Sylvester rose upon his knecs and drew a pistol. Frank kicked at the pistol but missed it, and the next moment the pistol ball cut off about one-sixteenth of an inch from the tip end of Frank’s nose, and also passed through Horace’s cravat, and within half an inch of his jugular yein. Several blows of his cane made Sylvester peaceable; and then he “pite)ed into” a large mirror, and made mince iticians who swarm about the Capitol, be. mcat of it, and after having gratified his has maintained his dignity, consistency and . destructiveness by a grand smash of chairs hy oo hye: —_ as we = opt ae . end.tablen, me spared: In going Fags! as he lent himself to any scheme of spec-. he was artcsted, but was permitted to ulation.

This was stunning, and our hero waited to hear no more, but rushed to the Telegraph office, his tormenters meanwhile strolling leisurely in the same direction. As they reached the staircase, the “victimized” was met descending to the strect, and as his eye fell upon the giggling group, he exclaimed, “For Heaven’s sake don’t say a devellish word —the “Fashion” is just below, and I tender you a ‘general’ invitation to ‘imbibe.’ They accepted.” — Union.
