• WHAT A WOXAI lEEDI3.
I.
In the changmg—silence of a wo-
Man's life-so friumOtt with joy 'and
suffering a man can never know---the
loveand kindness ot a - true-hearted
husband smooths every ripple of care
from her heart and ins it with a last
ing happiness. • •
• Woman is great in her strength
and weakness. Strong to suffer 'in
mind and body, when supported by.
the arms .of love, bid. old so w
when unloved and unappreciated.
In her weakness looking to man as
her protector, if she fails to inspire
him with a deep sense of his obhgal
tion to guard her tenderly, lovingly,
then is the-life of a Wife a failure.
A young man who strives by in
dustry, economy and good habits to
become a reliable' -respected man
among nien, finds the door- to some
worthy, noble maiden heart open for
his ag.mittance, and he can make a
fair a.ioice in taking a wife. But if
he has not cultivated the finer quell : -
ties of his nature, even a true and
worthy man will unwittingly wound
the delicate, sensitiVe nature of his
wife, and a longing, hungering void
in her heart will not be filled. Men
who-do not Study themselves and the
nature of woman, may never hope to
approach her most , sacred inner sold
without desecrating and trampling
upon . • precious, beautiful flowers,
which, when understood, 'yield the)
richest - perfume to life.
Love at first sight is not the kind
of devotion which may be relied up
on
to brave the stems of a lifetime ;
but' when the heart counsels with I
judgment and ieason at; to the adapt
ability of natures I and dispositions,
and all most heartily approve the
choice, then may a man or woman
believe in a lifelong happiness. Wo
man must hare greater risks in the
matrimonial compact than men, litit
both need to ponder I.he step well be
fore taking it. A young man who
has no settled'imrposes or principles,
no habits of industry, economy or
ambition to be somebody in the
world, need not expect to become a
happy husband. Mif ho marries a
woman of whom ho is worthy, she is
'not fitted to make a good wife. kid
'if by chance a silly, lovesick idea en
ters the head of a really good girl
who marries hini against the jnilg
melt of loving parents, his own un
steady life, will plant the weeds of
discontent and unhappiness where
flowers might have - blossomed.
Suck a man cannot know what real
happiness is. If a woman descends
in marriage sooner or later she mug
be dragged down to the level of her
husband, no matter how high her
Ambitions, how noble her purposei,
hole fitted to shine among the cul
tured and refined. - "
To find the right ono I " -
Ah, that were - n difficult task in
deed. •
Only 'the' uncertain Future can'
prove the choice a wise one, or that
hearth have been deceived, sacrificed
upon unworthy altars, or thro xn up
on the world for sympathy and kind
ness.
Love curdles at suchunfoldinents!
And the world gives to disappointed
hungry-hearted women the , sympa
thy of the destroyer—the protection
that N ' Volves give to lambs.
Oh! it is a fearful thing:to "lovu--- 7
opening heaven's gate or hell's.
Friendship were far safer.:-,
Even in choosing a life companion
a deep, earnest friendship based on
harmonious natures and tastes,• is a.

•
Then love will follovi; Not the im
petuous, sweeping, tempeet-tossing
love, ce7paision which sfigids'itifury,
and in the calm whieh:succeeds, rea

lost—but a deep, heavo-blessed .nn
ion of lives, of purpoies, of interests,
which make two - hearts at one and
every day one of sunshine. ,
Appreciation, sympathy in her no

to walk'side by side in. closest com

The Kostratign of disease, ble health;

Cognizance of the state of-the- body;
yet persons thus suited, commonly
attest that there aro few things in
life less painful than the close. "If
I had - strength enough to hold a pen,"
said William Hunter, "I would write
how . ,etisy arid delii;litful it is to die."
"If this bodying," said the niece of
Newtbn of 01r.ey, "its is a pleasant
thing to die 7'; " the very expression,"
midi her uncle, "which anot her friend
of mine made use of on her death- - bed
a foijears ago." The same Words
have' to often been uttered under sim
ilar circumstances, that we could fill
pages withinstances which are, only
varied by the name of the speaker.
"If this be dying," said Lady Glen
orchy,
,"it is the easiest thing ilcallarri
nable." "I thOught that dying had
been more diffieult," said Louis XIV.
"I did not suppose it was sb sweet
to die," said Francis Suarez, the Span- .
ish Theologian. An agreeable sur
prise 'was the prevailing sentiment
with them all; , they- expected the
stream to terminate in the dash of
the torrent, and they 'found it was
losing itself in the' gentlest current.
The whole of our faculties seem some
times conentrated on'the placid en

his glory. Capt. Thomas expressed
a fear that ho was disturbed by the
tossing of the ship;' "Go, Thomas,"
he replied, "I am naw in a state in
which nothing in this world chn dis
turb me more. I am dying, and I
am sure it must be consolatory to
you and all who lolie me, to see how
conifortably I am earning to my end."

has stilled her monitory voice, and
still memory remains to recapitulate
her virtues and pod deeds, affection,
like a flower beaten to the ground by
