WomAN IN ADVERSITY. —Women should be more
trusted and confided in as wives, mothers, and sisters.
They have quick perception of right and wrong, and
without always knowing why, read the present and
future, read characters and acts, designs and probabilities
where--man sees no letter or sign. What else do we

blow out his brains, and leave wife and children to want,

him to accept poverty, and live to cherish his family
and retrieve his fortune. Woman should be counselled
and confided in. It is the beauty and glory of her nature
that instinctively
grasps at and clings to the truth
and right. Reason, man's
greatest faculty, takes time
to hesitate before it decides ; but woman's instinct never
hesitates in its decision, and is scarcely ever wrong
where it has even chances- with reason. Woman feels

where he despairs, and triumphs where he /41,4
