THE CANADA WAR-THE ScHooNEn ANN
&c.--Ever since our army swore terribly in
Flanders" it has been the prerogative Of mill
tary heroes to swear, strut swagger, wear
whiskers, and cut swell with the ladies, great
ly to their own renown. and sadly to the dis
comfture Of the more quiet and less obtrusive
of the tougher sex. Monsieur Brophy, one Of
the late refugees from the prison OF Kingston,
and one Of the prisoners taken at 1.-THE bloodless
but odorifsrous battle at the capture Of the
schooner Ann" by the niggers near Maiden,
last winter, seems destined to reap a whole
crop Of laurcls in his cOnquests in the aowery
fields Of love, however sparssby his exploits
in the field Of battle may have adorned his brow.
We saw him lately atMonroe, in his illiment,
be-white-hatted, be-caned, ringed and trinket-
cd in style, and the way he tipped his blarney
to the admifing ears of the fair ones would
have done honor to a regular frequenter Of
Donybrook fair, lin all of his glory" In
short, he was the observed ofall observers, the
poIo-star Of a brilliant cynosure, the center Of
a Sparkling circlet, and the reigning toast Of
the day. Long live Monsieur Brophy.

Whatever may be the-customs and laws Of
a country, the women of it decide the morals.
Free or subjugated, they reign, because they
hold possession ofour passion. But this nau-
ence is more or less salutary according to the
degree Of esteem which is granted to them.
Whether they are our idols or companions,
courtezans, slaves or beasts of burthen, the re-
action is complete, and they make us such as
they are themselves. It seems as if nature
connected our intelligence with their dignity,
ms we connect our happiness with their virtue.
This, therefore, is a law of eternal Justice
cannot degrade women withouthimself falling
into degradation; he cannot raise them without
becoming better. Let Us cast our eyes over
the globe and observe those two great divi-
SONS of the human race, the East and the West.
One half Of the ancient world remains without
progress, without thought, and under the load
of barbarous civilization; women, they are
slaves. The other half advances towards free
dom and light; the women there are loved and
honorcd.
