WOMAN AT THE SICK BED.

If ever woman appears TO advantage il is at the
bedside of the sick and the dying. 1t is there
that the tender feelings of her soul shine most
conspicuous. 1t there her patience and her love
is put to the constant trial. it is there she forgets
herself, and places all the energies of her body
and mind upon the sick one. With her kind and
soothing voice, she lulls in quietude the disturb
cd and distracted mind, with her gentle hand
she prepares the food and medicine-and with
fear and hope administers it.
She watches with the utmost precision, every
variation of the diseaSe,-and, as life and death
struggle in the cOntest-moral with immoral--So
joy and sorrow hang with equal poise amid her
affections.
But more especially do the virtues of the pious
female stand out in bold relief on this OCCASION.
Looking forward, as she docs, for life that is to
come, she is ministering angel in fuller sense.
1t is hers to speak of the mansions prepared for
those who beleve-to comfort and console the
heart,-to pour in the wine and the oil of saliva.

THE LATE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.

The New Orleans Times of the 25th ultmo
contains copious extracts from late Mexican pa
porS, from which it appears that the revolution in
Mexico has not only been completely successful,
but consummated with singular degree of una
nimity. The same paper mentions the receipt OF
letter from the city of Mexico, dated on the 9th
which makes no allusion to the imprisonment of
Gen. Paredes. For this reason, and because it
believes that Paredes left the capital on the 3lst
