} WONES.-The following charming passage is
from Rural Hours" by Miss Cooper. daugh-
ter Of the late J. Fcnnimore Cooper. 1t SO
beautifully expresses the sentiments of all wo-
men Of pure feelings and correct principles,
that it should be widely circulated :-' We
American women certainly owe debt of graf
itude to our countrymen for their kindness and
consideration of US generally. Gallantry may
not always take graceful form in this part of
the world, and mere fattery may be worth as
little here as elsewhere but there is glow of
generous feeling toward women in the hearts of
most American men, which is highly honorable
to them as a nation and as individuals. In no
country is the protection given to woman S
helplessness more full and free-in no country
is the assistance she receives from the stronger
arm so general-and nowhere does her weak
ness meet with more forbearance and consider
alton. Under such circumstances, it must DC
woman's own fault if she be not thoroughly re-
spected also. The position accorded to her is
favorable; it remains for her to fulfil it in
manner worthy her own sex, gratefully, kindly
and simply with truth and modesty of heart
and life ; unwaverins fidelity of feeling and
principle, with patience, cheerfulness and
sweetness of temper-no unfit return to those
who smooth the daily path for her."
| BULwER.-A correspondent of the Tribune
gives the following description Of Bulwer -
II saw Bulwer the other day he is looking all
the worse for wear, but his hair, which has
sandy tint, does not seem to be turning gray.
He might have been something like his por-
traits when he was younger, but he is very lit
tie like them now. There is certain noble
ness Of look which is recognizable. PhrenOlo-
gically speaking, he has not large imagina-
ton. His ideality is much smaller than his
wonder. lie has not the anterior or coronal
development of poet. At the back of his head
he lacks healthy animation, and is deficient in
adhesiveness. The secret of his immense fertl-
ity lies in his very large concentrativeness.
His brain does not indicate remarkable capaci-
ty of insight or depth of mind, but bis persist
ency must be immense. His temperament is
also nervous his love of approbatitn large. A
phrenologist would have no difficulty in delin-
eating the Bulwer of bis novels in the man. He
has large language bis eyes are large and roll
ling. He can have very little of what VIC call
heart-perhaps less than he might have had
but for domestic unhappiness. But how differ
ent he is from Dickens in this respect and how
different are their works. Two reflections
arise from this cursory glance at the character
OF Bulwer. The one is that a man can only
prove himself to be just SO much as he is, des-
p;te all his attempts to prove himself more. If
a man be not truly inspired. he is continually
telling it by his arduous make-believes, as ia
tally as man that babbles in his sleep. What
man is, always bellies what he says be is, if be
says what is untrue. The MOTHERHOOD on the
surface may for time deceive with its specious
glitter, but the true estimate is not formed by
that, but by how much gold the mine beneath
contains"
