LAMARrINE'S OPISIoN CT " oMES-Thc fol-
lowing from one Of his late works, will give
our readers a pleasant introduction to the
writings of the distinguished Frcnchman:
"Woman With weaker passions than man,
is superior to him by the soul. The Gauls
attribute to her an additional sensc-the di-
vine sense They were right. Nature has
given women two paiEful but heavenly gifts
which distinguish them, and often raise them
above human nature-compassion and en-
thusiasm.
BY compassion they devote themselves; (;
bv enthusiasm they exalt themselves. What
more does heroism require? They have
more heart and more Imagination than men.
Enthusiasm springs from the Imagination,
and self sacrifice from the heart. Women
are, therefore, more natural heroic than
men.
All nations have in their annals some OF
the miracles of patriotism OF which woman
is the instrument in the hands ol uoa'-
When all is desperate in national cause,
we need not despair while there remains
shark of resistance in y woman's heart, whe-
ther she is called Judith, Clelia, Joan OF Arc,
V;,toria Coonna in Italia, or Charlotte OF
Cor,,ay in our own day. God forbid that
compare those | cite! Judith and Charlotte
Corday sacrificed themselves, but their sac
r;tice did not rccoi at crime. Their inspra-
tion was heroic, but their heroisin mistook
it's aim it took the poniard of the assassin
instead of the sword OF the hero. Joan Of
Arc used only the sword of defense; she
was not merely inspired by Leroism- she
was inspired by God"
