that 1t would be better to remain here than to
take such family as hers into country

TuE ToMB or A WoMAS.--For myself can pass
by the tomb Of man with somewhat Of indiffer-
ence: but when survey the grave Of a female,
sigh involuntarily escapes me. With the name
Of woman I associate every soft and tender del.
ieate affection. / think of her as the young and
bashful virgin. with eyes sparkling, and cheeks
crimsoned with each -impassioned feeling Of her
heart as the kiud affectionate wife, absorbed in
the exercises of her domestic duties; the chase
and virtuous tnatron, tired Of the folles Of the
world, and preparing for that grave into which
she must soon descend. Oh! there Is something
in contemplating the character OF woman that
raises the soul far above the vulgar level of good
society. She is formed to adorn and humanize
mankind, 10 soothe his cares and strew his path
with flowers. In the hour of distress. she is the
rock OH which he leans for support, and when
fate calls him from, existence her tears bedew his
grave. Can look down upon her tomb with.
out emotion2 Man has always justice done to
his memory-woman never. The pages of his.
tory lies open to the one; but the meek and un-
obtrusive excellencies Of the other. sleep with
her unnoticed In the grave. In her have shined
the genius of the poet, with the yirtae of the
saint; the energy Of the man, with the tender
softness Of the woman. =. ...
