A SM'Vm M'r SFIISIT BS3AISS. BY AVILLIE EDCMS PABOR. Ill tell you of a spirit love I'A'e borne from earliest years; Since 1 conld speak A^^ith lisping Aveak Her name iu smiles and tears. As rolling time, life's floating chime In fuller volume threAV, My love increased and never ceased To charm and bless me too. ' l^ToAvas I stand upon the strand That marks the verging shore, ¦^Vhen youth is lost on manhood's coast This love flame barns the more. This twenty year.? of hopes and fears It never left my soul; A nectar cup it filleth up And from the sparkling boAvl My soul refreshed, n^oves its behest , ,A.nd robes it for the strife; It bolder groAVs as this love throAiv's A halo o'er my life. It guides my feet from paths that meet On sin's destructive plain; It points the Avay where virtue's ray Illumes the placid main. Qh ! may this love for years yet move My spirit's chancel through— To robe hope's shroud and paint life's cloud With tints of holy hue. . And dost thou clai-m the magic name That doth my blessing prove ? Ah ! minstrel rhyme bears " aidenn© " chime That .spetdis a nwtlier's love. And such is mine ; a love divine In kindliness is given. To light my Avay Avith sunny ray And lead me up to heaven. Hauleij, ¥. Y. April 1854. The late snow storms prov^ed very destruc tive to the poor Birds -v^^io had ventured out previously to those storms. Large numbers perished in Worcester, .Springfield and else¬ where; and, at the lime, a gentleman from Columbia county informed us that inan,y of tbe poor creatures perished from cold and starvation in his neighborhood. .^^'Tho admission to the Crystal Palace has been fixed at 26 cents. 0/ Mrs. Caroline M. Severanck, of Cleveland, in behalf of JVoman's Rights, in respect to Properly and the Exercise of the Elective Franchise.—Presented and read to the Senate of Ohio-—March 23, 1854:.—Laid on the table and ordered to be printed. We, your memoriaUsts, respectfully represent to your Honorable Body, that by the common laAv of England, and the common Irav, constitution and statutes of the State of Ohio, which together con¬ stitute the law as at present administered, "Woman is deprived of certain natural rights, Avhich ought to be iti3e])ara,ble from her existence, and is sub¬ jected to certain legal disabilities, Avhich circum¬ scribe her sphere, and diminiah her usefutoess. Deprived of these rights, Avhich were originally usm-ped by the husba'ad; and subjected to these disabilities, which were afterAvards by him enacted into laAvs, to insure his ill-gotten possessions, the perso.i,al liberty, the property, and the children of the wife, are legally, and by consequence, actually controlled by the husband. In the opinion of your memorialist, these usages, A^'hich are many and grievous, ought to be thoroughly and speedily redressed; and these disabilities, Avhich are of a like character, ought to be as thoroughly and speedily removed. Therefore Ave earnestly pray you, in Avhoni is A^ested the poAA-er of restoration, 80 to change the constitution and laAvs of this State, as: 1st. That marriage shall not destroy the legal indiAiduallty of AA-oman. By marriage the husband and Avife are one per¬ son in law, that is, the very being or legal exis¬ tence of the A^foman is suspended during the mar¬ riage, or incorporated or consolidated into that of the husband, and neither party by any conveyance at common law, can give an estate to the other, neither can they contract or coA'enant one Avith the other.. Black. 355, 356. 2d. ''^hat the husband shall not liaA^e poAver to control the personal liberty of his wife. ¦ By this old lavv, the husband might give his wife, correction in the same moderation that a man Avas allowed to correct his apprentices or children; but in the time of Blackstone the Avife might have security of the'peace against her husband, though the courts of \&Yf still permitted the husband to restrain his Avife of her liberty. Black. 366. In the State of Ohio, the laAV and the practice of the conrtB are in every re.spect the same as in Eng¬ land, at the period above mentioned. The hus¬ band may coinpel his A^ife to remain at home ¦when she Avould prefer to go abroad, to go to one church Avhen she Avould prefer, to go to another, to change lier residence Avlienever it suits Ms con¬ venience, and to do numerous other things of a similar character that need not here be enuroera- ted. ¦ 3d. That the husband shall not have power to bind or apprentice his offspring vrithopt the con¬ sent of his wife. By the law of England the mother has no legal power ovei- her child at any age, and is only enti¬ tled to its reverence and respect, while the power of the father, which is almost absolute, extends to majority. Black. 373. This power ia also recognized ia Oliio, the stat¬ utes of which proAide, that any male pei'ion Avith- in the age of tweuty-oce years, or female j-.ersoii within the age of eighteen yeard, may be bound until they arri^'e at those ages rtspcciivcly, ov for a shorter period, to serve as clerk, apprentice, or servant, and that the indenture of service shall -be signed and sealed- by the father. Swan's Stat. 63. 4th. That the wife may sue and be bued iadu- pendent of her husband or other pci'scn. It is a rule of the common law^, that every agxec- ment of any natcsre, entered into hy a married avo- man, without the express or imph'ed consent of her husband, is absolutely void; and this rule pre¬ vails so strongly, that a wom.an may avail herself of her coverture to defeat a contract, though she may have been guilty of fraud. Black. 357. In Ohio, Avhere a married woman is a party, her husband may be joined with her, except when the action covers her separate property, she may sue Avithout her husband, by her next friend. "Where the action is between herself and her husband, she may be'sued alone, but in every such action other than for dlA'^orco or alimony, she shall prosecute , and defend by her next friend. Civil Code 61, 62. 5th. That tbe wife may maintain in her own name and right, an action for injury done her per¬ son, reputation, or property. By the comi :;,on, laAv which prevails in Ohio, the wife could not 'bring or ,m,aintain an action for ail- inju;ry done to her own person, but the husband could bring such action without the consent of his wife, the same as for an injury inflicted on his beast, and apply to hia OAvn use the damage thus obtained, lie could also sustain an action for an injury done his Avife's reputation, but the wife or daughter, being a minor, had not then, and have not now, any redress whatever but through the husband or the father. Female virtue is perfectly exposed to the slanders of malignity and false¬ hood: for any,one may proclaim ia'conA'ersation, that the finest m.aid, or the chastest matron, is the most meretricious and incontinent of Avomen Avith impunity, or free from the anim ad Aversions of the temporal courts, and female honor, which 'is dearer to the sex tha,n their lives, is left to be the sport of the abandoned calumniator. Black. 36'7. 6th,. That all property accumulated during cot- - erture shall be owned by husband and Avife in common. Woman's personal property by marriage, be¬ comes absolutely her husband's, which at his death he ma,y leave entirely away from her, and the hus¬ band is absolutely master of the profit of his wife's lands during coverture,; and if he has had a living- child, and surviA^es the wife, he retains the whole of those lands, if they are estates of inheritance' during his life, but the wife, if she survives, is only entitled to doAA'er out of her husband's estates of inheritance. This is common law. Black. 367. By marriage in Ohio, the husband so far be¬ comes the owner of his AAife's personal property, that if they unite in selling her real esta^te, and re¬ ceive the money, it is his, and if the iiioney is aftervfards, and during the marriage, invested in lands and the title taken to himself, the lands are his, and decreed to his heirs.
