All human beings must suffer pain and sorrow
but on woman do the evils incident to human eX's-
,ence fall with peculiar force. Her heart Is sens-
tive and her spirits easily elated or depressed
the decacy of her nervous system subjects her to
api,a'ions to which man, favoured by greater phys
ico s,rcurth and more frmness Of nerve Is exempt.
Subject to caprice, she needs the balance of intei-
lcctual discipline and above all, does she require
the aid Of religious principles 10 enable her to over
come the weakness 10 which her mind, owing TO a
peculiar physical organization, is subject.-id.

. IN old and curious La,r. TIC following is cop
led FROM the Albany Transcript, and will be inter
resting to counting bcauX OF the present day
law IN Massachusetts, adopted IN the year
1917. was such that if yonng man attempted to
address young woman without the consent Of her
parents or in case Of their absence, he should pay
the fine Of { for the first offence, Gl0 for The
second. and be imprisoned for the third. Thus IN
I6io one Ma,hcN Stanley was tried for engaging
the affections Of the daughter of John Tarh"N.
without the consent of her parents, and fined tl5
tees p 81. The same wear, three married women
were fued 5s forscoding. We apprehend such
fines would be or no avail al toe present time
FIVE shll,ings would not stop the iongne OF some
women, or ELS the gsllan'ry Young men.
