uELpLnssNEss OF WOMAN.

There is a beauty in helplessnes OF
woman The clinging trust which
searches forextraneous support grace
full aud touching; but to herself is not
without its dangers, its Inconvenience,
and its suferings. Her first effort at
comparative freedom is bitter enough,
for the delicate mind shrinks from eve
ry unaccustomed contact: and the
warm and gushing heart closes itself,
like the blossom of the sentitive plant,
at every approach.
Man may at once determine his pos
ition and assert his place; woman has
hers to seek, and, alas! fear me, that
however he may appear to turn d calm
brow and a quiet lip sothe crowd throgh
which she makes her way, that brow
throbs, and that lip quiyers to the dust
until, like wounded bird, she car
once more wind her way to the Tranquil
home, where the dropping head will b.
fondly raised, and the tluttering hear
laid to rest.
The dependence Of woman in tn
common affairs Of life is, nevertheless
rather the effect of custom than nece'
sity; we have many and brilliant proc
that, where need is, she can be sutiic
ent to herself, and play her part in tn
great drama of existence with credi
if not with comfort. They yearninE
of her solitary spirit, the out gushing
her shrinking sensibility, the craving
other alienated heart, INDUCED only
the quiet holiness of her solitude. tn
world sees not guesses not the confic
and in the ignorance of Others lies he
strength. The secret of her weakne
is hidden in the depths of her own b
som; and she moves on amid the hes
and the hurry of existence with Sc;
set upon her nature, to be broken onl
by fond and loving hands, or dissolve
in the tears of recovered home atfe
ton.
