WHAT is WOMAN !,

What is Woman Mans sweet angel;
Gentle, tender, calm, and kind
Ever loving, ever faithful
Is her soft and soothing mind,
a beautious flower, born to blossom,
Giving gladness to the eye;
Hall creature of the sky
Half creature of the sky,
WHAT is Woman? Ask her sorrow,
Know how deeply she can feel;
But when hope her heart would borrow,
Marx what JOY she can reveal,
O'er her cheek each pure emotion
Other soul is seen to fly,
Az fair clouds with chaste devotion
Fleet DER Luna's face on high
Fleet DER Luna's face on high.
What is Woman; All fOlbearing,
Patient, prudent, seeming gay,
Though sad inward thoughts are wearing
All unspOken, life away,
Thus she is a flowers sweet blossom,
Giving gladness TO the eye;
Half designed for man Is fond bosom,
Half a creature Of the sky
Half 3 creature of the sky!

AN ABseUATULAroR. A Mr.. King, in New
York, migrated to parts unknown on Saturday
last with $751; 900 in cash, which he had drawn
from Bank and borrowed of his neighbors. He
has not been heard from since. In the house
in which he was partner, he was for many
years clerk, and had the fullest confidence of
the other members of the firm. The house is
abundantly able to go on, even should the mo-
ney not be recovered.

BIsHoP CHASE. There is matter to touch
the feelings in more ways than one, says the
New York Commercial, in the opening pas
sages Of the venerable senior Bishops address
to the convention of his diocese:
"Brethren! Since we last met in conven-
ton | have become a cripple; and my useful
ness as an itinerant Bishop is, in a measure, lost
or destroyed. 1t is with great bodily pain |
have been able to reach this place.
"In consequence of this, my crippled condi-
ton, if the diocese should please to afford him
support, ! should advise the appointment of an
assistant Bishop. But | cannot think of any
one being elected to the same dependant state
which it has pleased God | should occupy a
mong you. This diocese will have made pro-
vision for the support Of future Bishop before
canonical consent to elect one, while the in
cumbent lives, will be given.
81 would be carried in litter, at my own
expense, to perform Episcopal functions, SOON
er than see my coadjutor and successor suffer
ing before mine eyes the deprivatons which
have fallen to my lot. Nevertheless, | am
thankful for what has been afforded me. From
whatever quarter this has come, the gift has al
ways appeared to be conveyed to me by heav-
emily hand"

A FIRST RATE NOTICE. The Louisville
Journal gives the editor ofthe Cincinnati En-
quirer the following fattering recommends
tom
"He has the richest vein of Stiffness, without
alloy in his composition, possessed by any aspi-
rant to editorial honors, that we know Of His
bat-lke blindness to any difference between
good sense and exquisite nonsense, his delicious
sea-lke greenness, and his wonderful pancake
like fairness has often won our intensest admi-
ration. He is genius, in his way, of prodi-
gious force. There is no one that we know of,
who stands better chance than he does of con-
summating those pyrotechnlc and equestrian
experiments, of which philosophers have dream
ed so fondly, of Fighting the waves of the beau
tiful Ohio, and Of riding through crab-apple
orchard on streak of lig htning."

the stationary stone, and then the movable
