Mrs. Drunni Benson was fat, fair. and

puriGra,ion of mankind. Mrs. Benson took

At first she WAS iuconsoIaL'e; and she
used to say, with solemn emphasis, which
carried conviction to the hearts Of her hear

daughter Florence would have prevented
her from terminating her exis,ence by the
intervention Of poison.

There upon he cultivated her acquaintance
with increased assiduiiy, and after Il while
asked the fatal question.
Florence answered in the affirmative, and

COURAGE - WUMH%.--Thrre is branch
al genera! education w!rirh is not though,
ut all necessary for women rs regards
which. n'I"c'i, it IS well if they are not
brought up t" cu!:ivat. the opposite. Wo-
men are not :amgt to be courageous. In
deed, to some persons, courage may seem
aS unnecessary for women AS Latin and
Greek. Yet there are few things that would
tcn'l to make women happier in themselves,
and more acceptable to those with whom
they live, than courage There arc many
women Of the present ,lav--sensible wo-
men in other things whose panic terrors
are frequent source of discomfort to them
selves ani those areun.l them. Now, it is
great mistake to imagine that hardness
must 90 with courage and that the bloom
ofg"n'encss and sympathy must all be rub
bed of 10y that igor Of mind Which gives
presence Of mind, enables a person to he
useful in peril, and makes the desire TO AS
sist overcome that sickincSs Of sensibility
which can only contemplate distress and
difficulty. So far from courage being un-
feminine, there is peculiar grace and Dig
nifty in those beings who have little active
power of attack or defence, passing through
danger with a moral courage which is equal
10 that Of the strongest. We see this in
great things. We perfectly appreciate the
sweet and noble dignity Of an Ann Bolrvn.
