q--You remember the old story of
the tender-hearted man, who placed a
frozen viper in. bosom, and was stung
by it when it became thawed.? If we
take a cold-blooded creature into our bo
som, better that it should sting us and
we should die than that its chill should
slowly steal into our hearts; warm it we
never can ! I have seen faces of women
that were fair to look upon, yet one could
see that the icicles were forming round
these women's hearts. I knew what
freezing image lay 'on the white breasts
beneath the laces!'
"A very simple intellectual mechanism
answers the necessities of friendship,, and.
even of the most intimate . relations of
life. If a watch tells us the hOur'and
the minute, we can be content to carry
it about - with us for a life-time, though it
;.as no second-hand, and is not a repeat
er, nor a musical watch,—tbough it is not
-ainelled nor jeweled,—in short, though
it has little beyond the wheels required
for a trustworthy instrument ; added to a
.pfttl face and a pair of useful hands.---
The More wheels there are in a watch or
a brain, the more trouble they are to take
care of.. The ntovements of ex altati4t
which belong to genius
,are . ' egotistic by
their very nature. A calm, clear mind,
not subject to the spasms and crises that
are so.often met with in creative or in
tensely perceptive natures, is the best ba
sis for 'love or friendship.— . —Observe, I
am talking about minds. I won't say,
the: mart; intellect, the less capacity fur
for that would do wrong.to the
understanding and ,rease.n;—but,, on the
other hand, that the brain often runs
away with the heart's best blood, which
gives the world a few pages of wisdom or
sentiment or poetry, instead of making
one other heart happy, l l . I have no ques
tion.

intellectual tastes or, pursuits, that is a
small. matter. Intellectual companions

After ail, if we think of iL, most-of the
world's loves and friendships have been
between people that could not real nor
spell.
‘ l But to raAliate the heat of tha atree
aons into a clod, which absorbs all that
is poured into it, but never warms beneath
the sunshine of smiles or the pressure of

Ofy young friend,—l replied,—the

power of music. TIM nerves that make

tells roe) in the most seiisitive region of
the marrow, just where it is widening to

has its seat in the region of sense rather
than of thought. Yet it produces a eon
tinuous and, as it were, -logical sequence i
of , emotional Wand intellectual changes ;

a man can reap s his paroxysm of feeling
is passing. , When he can react, his
thought . has slackened its hold.—You
talk about. reading ,Shakspeare, using him
as an expression ror the highest intellect,
and you wonder that. any,temmon potion
should be so presumptuous as to suppose
his thought can rise above the text which
lies before him. - But, think a moment.
A child's reading of Shakspeare is one
thing, and Coleridge's or Schlegel's read
ing of him is another. The saturation:
point of each mind differs from that of
every ether. But I think it is as true for
the small mind which can only , take up a
little'as for the great one which fakes up
much, that the 'suggested trains of
thought and feeling.ought always to . rise
above—not the author but the reader's
mental version of the author, whoever be
may be. - . '
'I think most readers of Shakspeare
sometimes , find themselves thrown into
I exalted mental conditions like those pro
; duced by Music. Then they may drop
the book. to pass at once into the region
l of thought without wofds. We may hap
pen to be very dull folks, you and I, and
probably de, unless there is some partic
ular reason to suppose the contrary. But
we get , glimpses now and then of a sphere
of spiritual , possibilities, where we, dull
as we now are, may sail in vast circles
round the largest compass of earthly in-,
telligences.
"--s---I confess there arc times when I,
feel like the friend I mentioned to , you
some time ago,—l hate the very sight of
a book. Sometimes it becomes almost a
physical necessity eolith out what is in'
the mind, before puttink anything else
into it. It is very bad. to have thoughts
and feeling* which were meant to come
out in talk, strike in, as they say of
some complaints that ought' to show out
wardly.
"I always believed in life rather than
in books. I suppose every day of earth,
with its hundred thousand' deaths and
something, More of births,—With itsloves
and hates, triumphs - and defeats; its
pangs and Misses, has more of humanity
in it than all 'the books that were ever
written, put together. I believe the flow
ers-growing at this moment send up more
fragrance to heaven than was ever exhal
ed from all .the essences evor, distilled."

To the Editore of Oa Reening Poet!
Allow me to enclose you an extract
from a' private Jotter written by a lady, iti
regard to that much-vexed question, "Wo
man's rightS and wrot's. It speaks for
itself, I think, and needs no introduction
or apology: '
" As for ,‘ woman's rights,'. I have a
strong belief in them, and' insist upon
theca, as yeu know, but - I never expect
to insist upon' those which will almost
certainly supersede such as she possesses
now. I don't believe, for instance, that
when women go the polls to vote, men
will run around to get a carriage for them,
if it chances to be raining or if she differs
from them in polities ; and I prefer the
right tesuch attentions, to the privilege
of voting. I have every right for which
I have any desire; thank Heaven I I have
the right to be taken care of, and guard
ed, and comforted, - and protected from
privation, and of sharing my husband's
interests, with, which. I have no rights
tlint conflict; What a lively One we
should have if we disagreed in politics; or
party, ur principles; and how charming. a ,
woman would look nursing a baby and
reading or' writing politieal artieles. 1
think it :mild be quite awful to have a
woman kept from going to vote by such a
cause an detained Curtis from delivering
his lecture in Philadelphia, when Beech
er supplied his place and gave the reason
so-frankly. Yes, I believe, in the legal
changes to protoot unhappily-married
women and all that, but votalig ! If my
husband ever aciviioates my voting ' shall
be sate he wants to-kill me off. As if I
didn't have enough to, de and think about
without posthri myself up in the affairs
of the nation; for whose manaaement men
were specially' created ! If mit, I wonder
what is the use of them."' CUBUM.
