truth flashed in upon our souls, in the

continuous. neccssitated, uninstructive av-

all? Have we felt in fortunate hours the
charm Of the Beautiful, that invests, as
with a mantle, the visible creation, or
have we found ourselves lifted above the
earth by sudden apprehension of subIlml-

such feelings, which seemed to US as if

FEMALE DEPoRTME&T.--The retiring
dilIidence, the genlIeness and modesty Of
manners which characterize this sox, are
its most potent spells. The very weak
ness Of woman becomes her tower Of
strength and, in seeming to be governed,
lies her power Of governing. In argument.
;heir strength lies in their delicacy and
mildness Of manner; and even their anger
IS most efficiently and becomngly mani
tested, by a reserved dignity of manner
and n sort of negative unkindness, con-
sisting Of dminuiion Of their natural and
habitual amenity.
We entrcal our young readers to bear
in mind that in intercourse with society il
is their duty to bear and lorbear. A oung
lady should ever, whatever pains il may
cost her, keep her temper, and conceal, If
not subLue her antipathies. !! j, true
that some persons have really annoying
pccularities, bot j, is not difficult to avoid
coming in contact with such persons and
even when etiquette compcls collision,
good manners, Of which good sense and
good feelings are the soul, demand that
we should suppress our own feelings,
rather ,han pain those Of other persons.
