A Ladys opinion Of a delicate subject
The poet Campbell, says that he once
heard lady Of distinguished beauty and
rank defend Sir Thomas Lawrence from
the charge of havinp been culpable in pay
ing attentions to ladies without intending
to follow them up by an offer of his hand.
A gentleman remarked that be thought
Sir Thomas was highly blameablo. NO.
replied the lady who was said to have been
the object of the great painters attention,
mo, not exactly-not so much to blame,'
said the lady musingly. "WhatN exclaim-
ed the gentleman, 'you astonish me; not to
blame for such conduct? mo, not so
much,' was still the lady's musing res
ponse Can you really madam said the
gentleman, again, "delend such behaviour
as desertion-?" why, sir Interrupt
ted the lady, 'to confess the truth, am
firmly of opinion, that the majority OF wo-
men would rather be courted and plted,
than not courted at all"

FoNTANEs asked Chateaubriand if he
could assign reason why the women OF
the Jewish race were so much hand 5omer
than the men? To which Chateaubrand
gave the following truly poetlcaI and chris

escaped the curse which aIightei upon

Jewess was TO be seen among the crowd OF

The noble courage displayed in SCOTS
Rebecca, in his novel of Ivanhoe, when she
stood upon the tower, from which she de-
cIared she would precipiate herself if fol-
lowed by the villain who desired to rob
ner Of her honor, has been more than
shaded by the sacrifice of young girl,
near Hartford, Conn.
The facts are given us by gentleman,
and are as follows The son Of "A respect
able paper maker, one day, finding the
girl alluded to, at the dinner hour, in the
upper room of the paper mill, entered, and
locking the door, seized the girl, and at

pose, when the girl sprung from his grasp,
and approached the end of the scutte
which opened into two chambers beneath,

miscreant was about advancing to secure
the heroine again, when she exclaimed

girl dashed herself forward, ralIing through
the two stories and breaking her ribs IN a
most horrible manner. Such devotion
should be immortalized Such an instance
of self sacrifice should be hailed with the
highest. 1t is perhaps needless TO add
that the young man dearly paid Cor his
attempt, to the amount Of $4,000 World

What wife should be is beautifully de-
lineated by a French writer, from whom
is translated the following highly coioreo
portrait, which we hope may hnd many
living originals in this country; 4 is her
happiness to be ignorant Of all the worl word
calls pleasure; her glory is to live IN tht
duties Of wife and mother; and she con
centrates her days TO the practice o. soc'a,
virtues. Occupied in the government % .,
her family, she reigns over her HUSBAND
by compaisance; over her children by
mildness; and her domestics by goodness
