by GLENOOWER.


Among the various themes which have
from the natal hour f literature arrested
the attention and employed the talent of
writer's, none has been found more pro-
life than that of wonhn for while at one
moment her gentle blrast is made a tar
get at which to wing The cruel darts OF
satire the next will awaken in her behalf
the soft flowing strains of poetry, or call
forth in her defence elGuence whose sill
very, soul-stirring note, the very winds
would seem lingering Il catch; for upon
the altar of her virtues have been laid
the richest tributes of tle heart and mind.
And even the arrows which have fallen
harmless at her feet ale found twined
with flowers, watered with the tears OF
her disappointed admire$ Omnipotence
seems to have formed hr of inconsist-
encies, yet to have breahed over all
spirit of divine sweetness, View her one
moment weak, trembling exotic, bow
ing before the faintest brelth of adversi-
ty; see her the next, standing, a heroine,
on life's stage, boldly f,cing its most
whitening blasts watch her when the
warm glowing sunbeams of prosperity
play along her way /; see lhr rise superb
or to her nature when the clouds of power
ty hover around her path. AS before
stated, she has found, "pun as she Is"
those cruel enough to defaue her, plain
ly exomplifying thereby the truth OF the
words of Shakespeare
BE thou chaste as ice or kre as snow
Thou shalt not escape calumE."
Yet it requires no very crltcal examin-
alton into their characters Il prove the
prejudiced nature of her chi defamers'
Take, for instance, the chara)tef OF the
veteran barrister, Selden, and see that 1t
was only when his mind had ifcome pref
udiced, and his heart har1ebd by the
constant exhibition in his pec1iar sphere
OF woman in her most fallen Ind degra-
ded state, that he became the tenemy OF
