_THE MOST SENSITIVE ANP MOST ARDENT
- IN DER FRIENDSHIP.
In all the exciting scenes of life, woman is the
most sensitive. If they be joyous, she is the first
to smile; if they be sorrowful, she is the first to
weep. When a company have assembled; when,
all is unbrokeu silence, and the men seem not to
know what. to say, nor how to say it, her anima
ted tongue is the first to relieve the embarrassment,
enliven the scene, and set all other tongues in mo
tion.--Whstever may be the ceremony, she is the
first to y enter into the spirit of the occasion. In
the moment of danger she is the most conscious,
yet th - most self-posessed, while she most skilfully
parriedthe impending blow. In love, she is the
most Jrdent, yet the most modest.
Amid the domestic trials of her houschold, hers
are thei first and the deepest pangs ; yet slie is the
most ktient under them. In the affliiltions of
others her warmer heart is the first to symt athize,
whileer kinder hand is first extended to bless,
to solace, and to save. However evil association
may sainettmes pervert her nature, these traits are
her instinctive primeval virtues; which, while they
elicit the profound respect of Man, claim for her
his sympathy, anal prompt assistance, under all the
trying circumstances of life, whether he happen
to be a i brother, a neighbor, or a stranger.
It is gratify, ing to know that the Americans aro
noted for their civility to the ladies, shrive the peo
ple of all other nations ; yet more .of the kindness
would be in still tatter taste, and more just
as well as more natural.
Woman is the first td befriend us'and the last
to de , ert us. Like Mary, ‘• she is last at the crass
and first at the grave." The greater a man's mis
fortunes. the deeper his disgrace, and the more he
is forsaken by the World, the closer she clings to
him; even more eager 'to share his sorrow:, than
his joys. Tnotrgh his path lead through flowery
plains of pleasure, or the shadowy vale of sorrow,
yet to the very brink of the grave is she found
close by his side, and though barren and dreary
ti then journey of life, she gathers as she goes
the few isolated flowers that grow .• the way,
with which she tries to comfort la* ~ an• though
her heart lie breaking, cheers' i'n with her
smiles.
her
she rise at early do- n nd toil on till
her mil:fight lamp goes out, tmly.fer want of means
to replenish it, slowly to earn what he so quickly
spends for that which rewards her industry—not,
as she had hoped, with the cneg . f . Vs- - Of life, hut .
with its worst miseries, though with a broken
heart, and weeping eyes, and feeble hands, She
earns money to buy bread . which he expeods,'for
that which draws down violence upon her own
head, and though wadi' . the "liquid poison; Ihe
daily abuses her, yet in the forgiving spirit of
her Saviour on the cross she exclairds, "he knows
not what he does !he is not himself!" While
she patiently drinks thh cup of misery he presints
to her is very dregs, and though he robs het of
everything dear to life. she cannot or will not 'be
lieve him her enemy ! If by dissipation, h re
doe her to poverty and abject want—while her
children are crying for bread, she forbears to -par

ishing family. I
If a visitor chances to enter her family in the
midst of her severest trials, she Implores biro. not
to make known the tribulations' of her house. that
it may appear unto to the world as an abode of
happiness. Iluvveier heart rending her troubles,
she patiently beats them, while her noble spirit
forbears to call for the assistance of others.
She not only binds up the wounds of her own
household but wanders forth into the world to
seek out other objects of charity. She forgoes
her own comfort to promote the comfort of others,
arid perils-her own life to rescue others—as did

battle-field in Mexico, as she carried watir be
tween the contending' armies, with whicl she
moistened the poached lips of the wounded and
the dying, not only of the Mexicans, but of the
Americans also. • Thus did the mercy of woman
cope with the cruelty of men, by striving to soothe
the wounds of both parties - , while fresher wounds
were yet being inflicted by both! Woman like.
with the impartial sympathy of true benevolence—
God-like, in the noble and divine spirit of her
, Saviour, she stayed not her hand in her work of
mercy, till she had blessed- both friends and
enemies, andifiered up her life in the cause of
sulTering humanity !
Where woman is, there is home—where she a
• not, there is no home. Hard is the fate . of that
man who bath riot the sweet - counsels Of woman to
ease his varied trials, and soften the asperities of ,
life—nor her cheering smiles. as a mental sunshine,
to chase.-away the. clouds of despondency that rest
upon his soul. And how hard is the death of •
that man who bath not Woman by his side, in the
character of a sister, wife or mother. as a visible
giaardian angel, to smooth his dying pillow—to
wipe the death-damp from brow —to elasp.,his
pale hand—to bedew with her tears his burning
cheek—to kiss,his quivering lips, and to win-per
an affectionate adieu to his sinkine spirit, ic; it re
cedes from the world, into the'rlaik, unfathomable
and unknown abyss of death !
. ..
As the meteor shines brighter With the incre is
inr.T.darkness, so tier benign spirit slacils it.,lir ight
est lustre upon his darkest,heurs.
When man's path in life•is beset with troubles
on every hand ; When his spirit is borne dew.' to
the earth; when none else will heed hi? cries, and .
he :is' about to faird by the way ; when life is a
burden.'irml relief can nowhere be found but in
death--then woman flies:to his rescue, and with
that sweetest balm for a wounded spirit : with her
Words of consolation. she - revives the courage that
is about to Liter, soothes the'lleart that is ready to
break, and; as a blessed convoy, by. ber smile and
song, leads him gently and safely through all . the.
bleak deserts of life. ' . . .
When man looks hack upon the troubled PPM of
life; when he beholds its mountain surges about
to overwhelm him:. and wheir, as he Flirts for-.
ward, he sees the Jordan, of Death lying before
him; when he is about to sink down in despair
and die, woman conies as his deliverer, and-by'
her tears and prayers. opens a way for his escape!
As a lily is-borne down beneath the waters. by
the rapid current, and yet rises again to adorn the
surface of ,the.stream ; as the rose is crushed to
the earth,and yet rises again with an elastic spring
to gladden , with its beauty the eye of lim who had

beneatlfihe waves of the troubled waters of life,
yet her buoyant spirit rises ariain stove them; su
woman, like the rose, is crushed beneath the iron
heel of the tyrant, man, (made a tyrant by the in
toxicating otgught,) yet she rises again in the in
tervals of his orgies, to resume the duties: of her
household, al.if nothing had happened ; to feed
and clothe the man,who . hail nabbed both her and

Erßaron Humbotrll.—A very interesting I-ti
ter appears in, the Literary World, from a corres
pondent Who has recently visited Prussia. and who
enjoyed' an hout's conversation with the distin
guished Baron Humboldt, - of whom lie gives this
interesting personal deocription tt He - is now
nearly eighty, but has the appearance 'of being'
some years younger. In stature, he is /other
under than above middle size, with a frame, pre
bably in youth, well fitted for the hardships of his
travels. His head might serve as a study for a
craniologist; his face is broad, and his eye remark
able for its intellect b and expression. . He was
dressed in a plain . suit of
,black, without ribmide
or 'decorations of any kind, and his,
- apartments
corresponded with the simplicity. of his personal
appearance. He was debilitated from an attack
of illness, but the vicar and elasticity of his. mind
were unimpaired.- He spoke English with much'
fluency, but with an accent, and . his 'manner' of
-peaking and the tone of his conversation, remind
ed me of -Mr. Gallatin. who was an old personal
friend, and to whonahe wished to he remea - bered."
[The writer says that Humboldt takes a deep
interest in the history and condition of Mexico:
and in this conversation he gives the following
very interesting account of some remarks made by
'the Baron. concerning Gen. Taylor as a military
man:]trarma Humboldt said that with one of
his own maps before them, :the King and his
military council, had followCil Gen. Taylor from
his encampment at Corpus Christi. to,,Palo Alto
and Ilesaca de la Palma, through the storming of
Monterey, and the bloody scenes of Buena Vista.
They had fought over all his battles. and with his
positions all marked on the map, were then I'r - inking
for further tidings. They had seen•and rippreci
' ateibllhis difficulties at Buena Vista. In Prussia
wet is a science, and according' to the leading pal
, icy of Europe, to be dlways ready for vier, every
imale in Prussia, the highest nobleman's son nut
coup:ea, is compelled to serve his regular terra in
the army. In the teeth of all settled opinions, and
as it were, upsetting the whOle doctrine of standing
armies, Gen. Tavlol , with a handful o 5 regulars,
and asma body cf voludeers who had never
ber,n in haftle, had stood, up fora whole day
against a murderous fire, and had finally.drfeated
four times his number. Field Marshals and:Gen
era's of Prussia, among them vetetons who had
stodied the art of war on •the. great battle-fields of
Eiirope,,were struck with admiratiot at the.daringf
and skill, displayed at Buena Vi- to ;Arid this
admiratiMi: Baron Humboldt said, tlj.ey ext.7resssd
without reserve, freely. publicly, and everywhere.
Amid - the bitterness and malignity of the English
press, it was grateful to hear from such lips, that
thedeeding military men of a ruilitary,witiim, did
justice to the intrepidity and 'firmness of our vol
unteers, and to the courage. skill, and high military
talents of Gen. Taylor; whjle Baton Humboldt's
comments upon his despatches and orders, and in
fact upon all that related' to him personally in the
'conduct of the war, were such . ' as rid American
could listen to without feeling proud."
Er &met Rerenge to Texans.—The corres
pondent of the New Orleans Delta narrates as
interesting incident, which occurred after the fate
battles bad been (ought and won. It must have
been "sweet revenge." When the troops had ar;
rived at Tacubaya,all the former Texan prisoners
who were present assembled Just below , the Na
tional Palace. On a fine paved road*stood a beauti
ful monument, with the following inscription:
"Erected to the memory of Gen. Santa . Anna, in
in consideration of his having constructed this
road by the labor of th.e prisoners of Texas." 'lt
was not long after the assemblage . of -the crowd,
until down came the monument, and not satis
fied with tearing it down, they brhe the stone
into small pieces, and scatter,A them to the four
winds. '
?Shorl Story, welt P . a.—We like to read - a
story well told, and we must say in behalf of the
following that it cannot well be iniprovedi,
It is stated of 'a inan in Illinois, nametlYilson
Corey, while eating down a large .oak, a flash of
lightning came down the tre°: eoaJe a hole in'the
earth five feet deep, and bused him in it up to his
neck. so fast as to make it impossible fur him to
get out. lie was rescued by his friends nest:

thers had been in the tree which Mr. C. was cut
ting dawn, but gave no. intimation of their pre
senct, which was discovered on by their being
found dead in the upper brAnchi.s w.here they had
been concealed, and mere kilted by tbeliihtuing.

":7 1 ir Young Men.-F•The idea is prevalent in
some. communities, that young men are-fit neither
for generals or statesmen, and - that they Must be .
kept in the back . ground until their physical
strength is impaired by age and their mtellecteal
fadulties become blunted by the weight of years. •
Let us look into the history of the past, and from
the long list of heroes and statesmen, select some
who have distinguished theroselvei, anti we shall
find that they were young men when they per- r
formed those acts which -have won for them en. s""
imperishable meed of fame, and placed their namei '
high on the page of history. •.Alexander, the con
queror of- the then civilized world, viz.: Greece,
