WOMAN.

THE following is extracted from work,
just out, from the pen of ROBERT CRoss, NJ.
d. There is truth and wisdom in every line
Of it. 1t accords precisely with our notions
of the inestimable value and Importance of
the sex. We do not say this, merely to in
gratiate ourselves with the fair ones; for be
it known, we are married, 'ue are-and rejoice
too at being in aposition, where We can say,
shame upon you, bachelors !"
"Thus woman is, under God, the true
creator of personal character, and, in the ag-
grcgate, of national character also; for the
destiny of nation, so far as instrumentality
goes, is really the charge of each succeeding
female generation. Senators may make the
nations laws statesmen may wield the ma
tional resources universities may perpctuate
its learning; but the women Of a country
illustrate its moral characteristics.
"How greatly, then, does man err, and how
does he estimate woman's posi-
ton in the world, in conceiving that aught is
needed to make it co-equal with his own.
"Man and the schools may finish the struc-
turc, but woman it Is who lays the corner
stone which truly remains ever the head of
the bu... ling"
