" i .Mv hearers—sure enough, how solve loss is woman ! : Shc is an unguessable riddle, a most intricate enigma, a itower which in analvzing, no one can tell ton certainty whether it poisonous or in oxuous—not' always. She has been with man from tho beginning, and ho hasnt found her outlet..- She is comparatively an unexplored, country—an alphabet of hieroglyphics—a magic mystery. - body knows what her heart contains. Sometimes it seems stuffed with love,, ten derness and sympathy ; and at 'others, filled.with nothing but grit and gravel.< It Won't answer to shako her: vou'cause the ricids and alkalies to come ineontnet, end then 1 such an effervescence takc%place, as might lower the ambition of pearl ash and : Hke tho month of April, she is nil sun shine and showers. . Many a tear-drop evaporates in the warm light of. a smile, oro.it has a chance to fall; and- many a I,right smile is suddenly quenched by a sprinkle of some passing cloud of sorrow. about tho size of a blanket. . i Griefs bubble up from her bosom, to burst in an atmosphere of joy, like nal flowers; spring from the warm bed of hor heart, to be cut down by the sudden frost of grief. A queer compound is wo man ! She is made of modesty, boldness, bcautv, silks and satins, jealousy, lovo, hatred, horse-hair, whalebone, piety, paint, rrayetv, gum-elastic, bear’s grease, | paihy*, tbafs, smiles, nflbctions and kind- V.P53. She talks with her tongue, speaks with is eloqueht iiy her actions, nnd yet l cannot understand it. , My friends how tender is woman! bhe i i ns tender as a chickon, and os tough as sn oid ’ gobbler. : She • must bo screened from the hot summer’s.suh, sheltered from the cold blast of winter ; and yet, if she makes up her mind to do it, she can out sweat tho sun, face a northeaster, and can be a - match for tho devil. But inwardly, she is as tender as the morcios of heaven; her heart is as much softer than a man s us beps-wax is softer than a-brick-but. Her sympathies am as delicate oa do,wn on angel’s wings* and her,love appears’as fresh and unlading amid the sorrows of adversity, as the evergreen wreath that encircled the brow of old winter. Her tenderness is too tough to be destroyed by \vhatever chance, fortune, or time may bring—as tough as tripe, and twice as common. '• ’ ■ ' , . . . . Mv hearers,how loving is woman. Aye, she is amazingly sick in hor attachments. She will cling to tho chosen object ot her heart like a possum to a gum tree,and you can’t separate her without snapping the strings that no art can mend, and leaving] a portion of her soul upon the upper death erof her affections. She will sometimes see some things to: love whore others can discover nothing to admire, and-when her fondness is once fastened on a fellow, it sticks like: glue and molasses m a bushy head oft hair. , ■ : ; • , My hearers, hbiv child-like is woman! , a plaything herself, she is fond of every plaything in- the world’s great toy shop. Her home;is the realm of fancy, her ex istence- is verv ideal reality, her very mis eries are mingled with a pleasing romance —her present is always bright, and hor future still brighter;' : Would that I were a woman, to be pleased with 6vbrv poesy j that popd .its hedd. above the weeds of a wicked'AVorld;.Vq4;%yq.no;thprn3 to ; mo r lest mc.iWhilstgatliering the wild flowers of CHfldJke womtmtsj^ry Jiuppy; Ticktbd' with the straw offlpftery, ’delighted with every raihbow-lmted bubble that floats upon the wave of time—as anUp as a yourtg Coon is by lUeonhght. and n a cricket, shb dances rathe sunlight or joy, and seems to use every endcavorto coux ’ us' tJale, moody morluls into brighter an happier paths.
