ESSAY ON WOMAN

woman is very nice and complicated ma
chine. Her springs infinitely delicate, and
differ from those Ofa man, pretty nearly the
clock. Look at her body-how delicately formed
Examine her senses-eXqusite and nico! Observe
her understanding subtle and accute But
look into her heart there is the patchwork Com
posed of parts minute of themselves, and so won
derfuly combined, that they must DO seen by
microscopic eye TO be clearly comprehended The
perception of woman is as quick lightning
Her penetration is intuition, had almost said in
stnct. BY glance of her eye she shall draw
just and deep conclusion. Ask her how she form
cd il ? She cannot answer the question as the
perception of woman is surprisingly quick, so her
soul and Imagination is amazingly susceptible
Few Of them have culture enough TO write, but
when they do, how animated their descriptions
But few women wrte they all talk, and every
man may judge Of them in this point from every
circle in which he goes Spirit in conversation
depends entirely on fancy, and women all over the
world talk better than men. Have they charac-
ter to portray, 4 figure 10 describe2 They give
but three traits of one the other, and the cha
racter is known, or the figures placed before your
eyes. Why? From the susceptibilities of their
imagination their fancies receive lively impress
sions from those principal traits, and they paint
those impressions with the viyacity with which
they receive them. Get a woman of fsnry, tI'arn,
in conversation, she will produce hundred charm
ing images, among which there will not be one in
delicate coarse. Warm man on the same sub
jec, he shall possibly find stronger illusions, but
they shall neither be so brilliant nor so chaste.

POETRY.
LOVE AND GRIEF.
BY AUBREY DE WE'RE.

Whenever under bowers of myrtle,
Love, summer tress'd and vernal-eycd,
at noon or eve is seen 10 wander,
A dark-eycd girl is at his side.
No eye beholds the virgin gliding.
Unsandall'd through the thcket gloous,
Yet some have mark'd her shadow moving,
Like twilight Ger the whittier blooms.
golden bow the brother carries,
a silver flute the sister bears,
And ever ut the fatal moment
The notes and arrows fly in pairs.
She rests her flute upon her bosom,
While up to heaven his bow he rcars,
And as her kisses make it tremble,
That flute is mosten'd by her tears
The lovely twain were born together,
And in the same shell-cradlo laid,
And in The bosom of one mother
Together slept, and sleeping, played
With hands into each other woven,
And whispering lips that seem'd to teach
Each other in their rosy motion
What still their favorites learn from each.
Proud of her boy, the mother showed him,
To mortal and immortal eye,
But hid, because she loved her dearer,
The deeper, sweeer, mystery.
Accept them both, or hope for neither
Oh loveliest youth, or maid forlorn
For Grief has come when Love is welcome,
And Love will comfort those who mourn
