AmsrERpAM, july 3,
Change oi mir, the common remedy,
has no eiiset and flight, the refuge of all
who fear, gives me no manner of security
Of ease fair devil haunts me " hereycr |
| ~, though not ST. malicious as the black
oncs, yet more tofncnling.
How much more tormrpting rs the
beauicous devil than the ugly one Th. irst
| nm always thinking of, the other comes
seldom IN my thoughts III" tcrrors of The
devil very often diminish upon cDnsidera
ton but the expressions OF the fair one
become more ntol.rablc every time she
comes into my mud.
/" Th. chief attribute of the devil is tor
menting. Who could look rpou you aud
give ynn thai tide ? Who can feel what
do, and give YOU any othcr
But, most certainly, | have more 10
lay To The charge vt III. fair one, that can
he ohl.cied Ia Satan or Be,izchuh. We
may believe they only have u MUD to tor
menl because they are tormrntcd If thry
sndeavonr I'd procure ns misrry, II is be-
cause they are IN pain they must be our
companions IN suffering but my white
devil partakes none ofmy turments.
In Mud, give me heaven, for II IL

suppose, by your fair devil, you
mean nothing less than ~ angel II SO,
my lord, | beg leave 10 give some reasons
why think woman ~ neither like an
angel nor devil, and why successful aud
unhappy love do not, in the least, resemble
heaven aud hell. II is true youmny quote
ten thousand = allani letters aud prcccdrnts
for lr use of these love terms, which havs
Il mighty captivating sound In the ears Of
n woman, and have been with equal pro
pflely applied TO all women IN all
ges.

prelends 10 he nothing else bat a spij a.
II, Then, II womnn was no more than an
angel, what could lover get by the pur.

The black devil is a apirit too, but Que.
that has l0si lis beauty aud retained his
pride. Tell woman this, and try how
she likes the smile.
The pleasure of an angel is offering
praise , the pleasure ol - woman is rcceiy

- Successful love is very unlike lrnvcn,
because ypn may have success Que hour,
and LOSE 1t the next. Heaven is uuchan

there are women so that, Il Il man br So
unhappy AS to lose one heaven, he need
not throw himself headIong into hcII

But perhaps you will ask me, fla womnu
be neither like an angcl or dc,ll, what IL
she like answer, that the only hing
that ID like a woman is---dHOther mo

" How often has your lordshp prrsuad-
ed foreign ladies that nothing but them
could make YOU forsake yonr dear com
Try But AT present find il is more 10

only woman that cohd prevail with you to
