| WoMAN.--It is awoman's 's nature to yearn
and droop for love--to shrink in agony
from lonely path--to long for some sym
pathising bosom to which she can trust her
sorrows. She looks to man, lor natural
protector No true hearted woman but
lias this feeling born with her, implanted
there by Cod. liimselfbut it is doomed, too
often, to find on earth no such loving rest.
Tile warm affections of h6r heart are too
often crushed by terneglect ar cod.in.
| difference; too often is slie betrayed where
most she trusted, aud therefore is her lot so
| sad. Desparing and broken hearted, she
turns from earth TO heaven Bat when she
can ut once realize that she is the subject
of love as immeasurably superior in con,
| ISOLATION and thought, ard chaugeless sym
pathy to that of man, as the heaven is a.
bovo the earth; when she can once feel
that she has friend, who will never leave
her nor forsakc herr whose plying ear
she may pour forth her trials and grief eli,
their petty or great, which She would not,
even if she might, conhdc TO man, secure
not only of pity, but healing--w she is
conscious she is never lonely--never left to
her own weakness, but in her very need
! will have strength infused--then is she
blessed that she is no more lonely, no more
sad, And the word Of God will give us his
thrice. blessed consultations not in his gra-
cious promises alone, though they them
selves would be sufficient, but in his deal,
ings with His creatures.
