Ladies are not accustomed 20 regard men
either as monsters to Sbe run from, or as
gods to be pursued. They neither blush
nor grin at thcm-,they neither veil nor
unveil their faces before them. They uei-
ther encourage ippertinenco, nor repet
cisility, on the part Of men. They effec,u.
ally punish and repress tho ruas stare, Of
impertinent attitude, by refusing to bestow
the most distant notice on such an act.

Other women manifest their resentment
by staring back again, or gessiculating in
return, on tho principle Of eight it out or
die.n
Ladies' attach a deep significance, a holy
meaning, to the word-Loue! This is the
die on which all the rest OF woman's con-
scious aud sentient existence is cast. Other
women handy the hackueyed term about
as they wonld @my bonnet" or 'my
shoes" Ladies fall in love with objects
with natures deemed worthy aud noble;
and the extinction Of tho flame is nearly
tantamount to blowing out the lamp of
life! Other women fall in love once quar-
ter, and discard the old love for every new
face! Ladies cuter,ain high and solemn
regard for the feelings, affections and sensi-
bilities of a generous heart, and would not,
for world, attract its devolons merely for
the love of admiration, or the excitement Of
an intrigue, or a Irritation, and then dismiss
bruised, wounded, and deceived conf.
dence! Other women, sometimes, expert
ence especial delight in having halfa-dozen
lovers-professing regard for each, and de-
ceiving all; true to no one--false TO- all.
If you should ever observe such perverted
nature, drop tear over it. Il is woman's
glorious nature sadly perverted And DO
not too severe in your denunciations, re-
| membering, that she who has deceived al!
| others, will at last suffer The bitterness, Of
being deceived! Having battered without
remorse in hearts, she will, most likely, be.
stow her hesrt-all she has Of heart-on
| one who will cast it away and trample on
it, as an outworn thing not worth the keep
| ing!
No one possessing the high qualities ofa
Lady can ever stoop to play the part Of
coquette or flirt.
Lady-young or OLD, maiden or rnatron-
is term descriptive Of tho most lovely
type OF our humanity. No piece of Gods
Workmanship this side the Paradise of bliss
deserves so much tho devotion Of mans ua-
ture. She sheds light over the sphere of
her duties less holy and blessed only than
the light of Heaven. Her love is a prize
worth less only than the love of God.
Something in the nature Of practical ap.
plication ought, perhaps, to be added to
these meagrc sketches.
Every young woman, blessed with ordi.
nary intellect, may become a-Lady. Her
outward fortunes are not important to this
result. She may be tho mistress of a castle,
or palace; or she may be the humble ten.
ant of cabin Of logs: she may command
wealth and surround herself with the com.
forts, Injuries, and elegancies Of life: or she
may be tho solitary servant, and perform
all her own labor; she may be reduced, in
day, from state of splendid affiuence to
state Of straitened poverty, and yet, in
each and all of these relations, be the per.
feet Lady, blessing everything around her
and blessed by every heart coming within
the sphere of her influence. She who does
not become Lady--she who remains
frivolous, coarse, and vulgar, will fail-mis.
erabIy fail--of accomplishing her high des
tiny in life. II she be mother, she will
probably have coarse and vulgar children.
AS a companion, she will be avoided or
disregarded by her acquaintances. In
short, she will be out Of placo-out of posi-.
tion--one more than enough--au inhiction
and drag on all social aud intellectual
circles.
A Lady is loved and respected by all
welcome to all society-has place assign
cd her among the virtuous and the good
