WOMEN

Women are better than men. What sac
rifce are they not capable of making; how
uns-lGsh are they in their affections. How
abiding is their love. They enchant US by
their beauty; and charm us by their con-
veIsation. They add grace and softer col
oring to life, and assist US to bear with its
.asperities. In our youth they are our in
.structorS; in sorrow, our comforters; in sick
ness, the sweet beguilers of our misery
Whatever is roughi in us they refine. What
ever of ruggedness there is in our natures
they polish or remove. They are the only
divinities on earth. Alas! that so many Of
them ere fallen divinities. Bat who is il
that makes them so? Who is it that takes
advantage of their weakness when that
weakness should be the best claim to pro-
lection? Let him answer who abuses them.
Among the various beautiful natures, that
of maternal love should be noticed with
peculiar admiration. I have heard of wo-
man-haters, and am told that such a class
of beings do exist. But surely they who
hold the sex lightly, and who are accustom-
ed to speak of them in terms of reproach,
can never have been spectators of the
watchful tenderness, the anxious solicitude,
displayed in thousand touching incidents,
of a mother for child. They can never
have witnessed her self-sacrifcing devo-
ton to her offspring, her patient and even
cheerful performance of the many laborious
Offices of educational training, or their

FOR MARCH.

Blackwood's Magazine for March con.
tains a sketch of the regicides who took
refuge in New England from the persecu-
ton Of the Second Charles. The writer is
'plenetic enough upon this country, but has
gathered some interesting particulars. He
asserts that there was a third regicide, John
Dixwell, who accompanied. Coffee and
WIalley, and narrates the following ANU
sing incident:
\ story is told of one of the regicides,
while living at Cambridge, which deserves
reservation, as it not only illustrates the
open manner in which they went to and fro,
ut also shows how well exercised were the
soldiers # Cromwell in military accomplish

Boston, challenging ANY man in the colo
mics to Play at swords with lin; and this
|bravado he repeated for several days, from
stage Of Thespian simplicity, erected in

One day, as the mountebank was pro-
claiming his defiance, to the terror and adj
l'niration of a crowd of bystanders, a coun-
lry-bred fellow, as it seemed, made his ap-
pcarance in the assembly, accepting the
challenge, and pressing to the encounter
with TO other weaponry than a cheese, lone
up in a napkin, for a shield, and a broom

at him desperately enough.
The thrust was very coolly received in
the soft and savory shield of The country

and whiskers of the swordsman with its
odolous contents. \ second and more fn-
