My text this morning ii.contained inithese word.: How solvelesi is woman? . How tender is a woman I How loving is a woman! . How obild-like is woman 9 My hearers—sure enough' bow solveless is woman!' She is an unguessable riddle—a most intricate enigma; ailoiver by analyzing, no one.can tell to a certainty whether it be poisolious or inoxous—not always." She is comparatively an unexplur.d alphabet of hieroglyphics—a magnetic mystery. Nobody knows what her bean contains. Sometimes it seems staffed with her love, tenderness and sympathy, and at others'filled with nothing but grit and gravel. It won't answer to skabe her; you cause_the acids and alkalies in her heart to come iu contact; 'and then sdch an effervescence takes place as' might lower the ambition of pearlash and cider. 'Like the mouth of Aptil she lean sunshine and. flowers. Many a teardrop evaporates in the warm light of her smile, ere it has a chaner to 'fall ; and many a bright-smile is rndaenly quenched by a sparkle 'of some pa=sing . cloud of sorrow about the size of a blanket. ....t69 62 Griefs bubble up - from" her bosom to burst into an atmosphere of joy, like autumnal flowers spring from the warm bed of her heart, to be cut down by tb's sudden frost of grief. - A queer compound - is woman I She is made of modesty, boldness, beauty; silks, satin4,‘jeal -ousy„ love, hatred, horsehair, whale-bone, piety, paint, gaiety. gurnalastic, bear's grease. sympathy, tears, smiles, affections and kind ness. She talks with bar tongue, speaks with her eyes, is eloquent in her actions, and yet I cannot understand it. - My friends—how - tender as a chicken, and as . tough as an old gobbler: She must lie screened from the hot summer's sun—shelter ed from storms and protected from the bleats of winter—and yet, if she makes up tier mind to-do it she can out sweat a northeaster, and be a match for the devil. But inwardly, she is- as tender as the mercies of heaven; hey heart is ss much softer than.human's as bee's wax is softer than,a brickbat. Her many sympathies are as as delicate as the down on rowels-and her love appears as •fresh and unfaded amid the sorrows -of adversity .as the evergreen wreath that encircles the brow of old winter. Her tenderness is too tough to be destrowed by what chance, time or ler. tune may bring; as tough,as,tripe arid twice as common. • My dear Mends—how tender is woman! No matter whether born in a cellar she can sometimes - be as Jofty as a garret. . When she once gets her tack up, 0, cats and broom sticks ! look for vourselves. She is as high as Olympus, and savage as a sausage machine. - In high wrath she is as erazy as a bedbug, as strong as a- tiger and as terrible as a tornado. She can blaze away as though hell, heavelf , ,und earth•were com-. ing to elose quarters; but in a few momenta it-, is ,all .over—nobody jzilled. Thew she comes down from the mountains whence she has thrown big atoneS upon 'the people below; softens. down to a jelly, end becomes as quiescent as . rt 'goose pond after a tem pest. -The breeches won't fit,--sbe must re sume the petticoat and be a woman after all. 6.1,327 69 My bearere---bow loVing i 3 woman ! Aye, she 14 amazingly 'sickly in her attachments. She' will: cling to the•chOsen object of her heart like a possum , io a gum tree, and you can't separate her without snapping strings that °nett tan mend', and leaving a portion of her soul upon the upper leather of her af fection. She will sometime see something to love, where others can discover nothiagto ad mire; and when her fondness is once . fastened on a feller'it sticks like glue-in a buSby bead of hair. . , My bearers—how child like is woman! A plaything hirself, 40 is fond of every play.' thing in the world's great toy, shop. .Her lintYie is the realm v ac fancy—her existence is very ideal reality—ber very miseries are min gled with a pleasing romance-r—her preseut'is Always bright, and bei future still brighter. Would that I were a woman, to be pleased with every, puppy that pops its head above the weeds of a wicked world, : and have no thorns to molest me while gathering the wild flowers of imagination. Child-like woman is very happy. Tickled with the straw of flatte ry, delighted with the very rainbow tinted bubble that floats upon the wave of time—as antic as a young coon is' by moonlight, and as a crieket, sbe dances in the 'sunlight of joy, and Eeetna to use every endeavor to coax us males, moody mortals, into brighter and happier 'Paths. So mote it be. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMEin AND PlLLS.— Extra. ordinary cure of Erylipeloe.—Mrs. Emma ROwecroft, aged 42, of St. Pauls, Minnesota Territory, suffered severely' , from , periodical attacks of erysipelas in the, face, to-which she appeared to have a constitutional predispo sition. In July last she had a return of the complaint, with unusually violent and daoT gerous symptoms, and udder the' advice of a friend from New York, .obtained a lot of Holloway's Ointment, and, applied it accord ing to, the directions.. The result amazed as well as delighted the uniortanae sufferer and' her. family. The inflaninsatory symptoms subsided, the redness faded; in *course of a few days to a yellowish hue,.and the cuticle, or scarfakio: on -the parts' affected, Came 'off in the form of a whitish scurf. A second box completed the cure, leaving neither scar nor blemish on the face. I.The .Pills are as effica nitwit .in subduing . internal - disease,as the' Ointment- is In remoiring all e;tenta disor r dere: . , It is exceedingly had husbandry tq harrow:up the feeliega of-your wife, to rake up old quar rel., to hoe grudge, and to so* discord.
