AT the late election the counties of Licking and Musk

The facility with which capital is raised in Ohio

The late example of Augusta in subscribing TO the

How solveless is woman
What limner can trace

How solveless is woman!
What limner can trace
The varied emotions
That CLEAN on her face!
esAnd what art can portray
The feelings that lie
In the heave of her bosom,
The glance Of her eye
How tender is woman!
The watcher at night,
Who leaves not the blossom
On account of the blight.
An angel Of mercy,
She soothes us in pain,
And smiles in her gladness
When health comes again.
How lofty is woman!
Deep, deep is her ire,
When light words enkindle
The spark on the pyre
Majestic she towers,
Man quails from her view,
Till her wrath, like cloud,
Soon dissolves into dew.
How loving is woman.
How fragile she clings
To him she hath chosen,
Whatever he brings;
Though all he can utter
Are words to deceive:
Confiding-she loves him,
Though talse-will believe.
How child-hke is woman
How winning her ways,
She strives for our pleasure
Through long weary days
No ill can alright her,
No shade can annoy;
She seeks but to lead us
To sunshine and Joy.
