your happiness with them and bearing Dart
OF their misfortune, should ii present the Cd.
portunlty, rejoicing with those who are harry,
and weeping with those who weep. Here is
your sweetest charm-a characteristic of true
lady. BE not backward in visiting the abodes
OF distress AUD misfortune. If you have moth
ing else TO bestow, encourage with your pre-
sence and sympathy, a CLEAN of SUM-
shine wherever your footsteps lead you,-let
smiles and peasantness be the accompaniments
OF yo'r ministrations. Then will your advent
be hailed as precursor of peace and pleasant
ness. This constitutes the sum total of the
wltchcraft of Woman. AS an English poet
has justly remarked:
when well-formed feature beauty's offspring
speak,
And heath's sweet roses tinge the youthful
| cheek
When the bright eye its dangerous power dis
plays,
Though modesty restrains its softest rays.-
| When words polite and sentiments refined
Are vouchers for the beauty of the mind.
Or maid or widow, be she poor or rich,
MY heart In terror whispers, there's WITCH"
But. obtaining our intellectual education is
not the most important object of our lives,-
tbs only preparation subservient TO an en-
trance upon another and widely different state
of being,-'ts but brief prelude to state of
existence that Is never to terminate. The
manner in which we deport ourselves in this
brief period of mortal existence is TO deter
mine our character throughout the endless
ages of eternity; for, after crossing the boun-
dares OF time and entering the portals
OF this endless period of existence, as cycle
upon cycle of duration shall have told their
wonted circuit, we are no nearer to the termi-
nus than at the commencement. The fidelity
IN which we educate ourselves whilst this nti
Vilege Is granted to US for this purpose, will
assign 10 each OF us the position we are TO
occupy after the scenes and things of time and
sense shall have faded from our mortal vision.
whether 1t is TO be scene of uninterrupted
felicity, or OF perpetual punishment from all
happiness, without hope or happiness. Then,
go on to discharge your duty-freely, fully,
no6ly. Let no sordid or unkind act stain the
faIr escutcheOn of your character, but live to
De an honor to your day and generation.-dit.
luse around you an atmosphere of love and
frIendship.-thus striving to fulfil the DESTINY
allotted to you by the Author of your creation
that when you have fulfilled the full and allot.
ted number OF your days, like sheaf to the
garner of your Lord and Master, full grown
and fully ripe, sweetly sinking into the sleep
that knows no waking, it may be said of Won
that your work has been done and well done.
and that there is laid up for you crown of
glory which the Lord, the righteous Judge. |
shBll give you in that day.
-" In the worlds broad field OF battle,
In the bivouac of life,
BE not like dumb, driven cattle,
Be hero in the strife" &c.
