often are we compelled to assume the semblance
of coldcess and indifference when the heart iDly
bleeds; and the decent composure, put on with
our visiting garments TO appear IN public, and,
like them. worn for few hours, are with them
laid aside; and all the GREATNESS, the heart con-
suming cares, that women alone eau know, return
to make US teel that though we may disguise our
sufferings from others, and deck our counte
nance with smiles. we cannot deceive ourselves,
and are but more miserable from the constraint
we submit to. 4 woman can only understand
woman's heart-we cannot dare not, complain

open The wounds that excite II; and even the
most legitimate feelings are too sacred IN female
estimation to be expOsed-and while we nurse
the grief s' that lies too deep for tears" aud
consumes alike health and peace, a man may
with impunity express all, nay, more than he
feels, -court and meet sympathy, while bis

pleasures. the latter ton often such as ouyhttO
