COURAGE IN WOMEN.

d There is a branch of general education
which is not thought at all necessary for wo-
men as regards which, indeed, it is well if
they are not brought up to cultivate the oppo-
SITE Women are not taught to be courageous
Indeed, to some persons, courage may seem as
unnecessary for women as Latin and Greek
Yet there are few things that would tend to
make women happier in themselves, and more
acceptable to those with whom they live, than
courage. There are many women of the pres
ent day-sensible women in other things
whose panic terrOrs are frequent source oi
discomfort to themselves and those around
them. Now, it is a great mistake to imagine
hardness must go with courage; and that the
bloom of gentleness and sympathy must all be
ribbed off by tl.at vigor Of mind which gives
presence of mind, enables q person to be use
full in peril, and makes the desire to assist
overcome that sickliness of sensibility which
can only contemplate distress and difficulty
So far from courage being unfeminine there is
peculiar grace nd dignity in those beings
who have little active power of attack or de
fence, passing through danger with a moral
courage which is equal to that of the strong
est. We see this in great things. We per-
fectly appreciate the sweet and noble dignity
of an Ann Boyln Mary Queen of Scots or
a Marie Antoinette. We see that it is grand
for these delieatel:? ?-bred. high-uatured, help
less personages, to meet death with a silence
and confidence ike his own. There IS no beau
ty IN fear. 1t is a mean, ugly, disheveiicd
creature. No statue can be made of it that a
woman wonld wish to see herself like.

THE AUTUMN OF LIFE.

Not many months before the death of the
late Judge Davis, on the occasion Of Il dinner
party at his house, at which Mr.. Justice Sto-
~ and other eminent julists and lawyers were
present, the conversation turned on the com
parative adeanta ages Of the different periods OF
life Judge Davis did not state his opinion
until he was invited to do so ; and then in
that calm and bcnignant manner for which he
was remarkable said
ain the warm season of the year, it is my
delight to be in the country, and every pleas
ant evening while am there, love to sit at
the window and look upon some beautiful
trees which grow near my house. The mur-
mtiring of the wind through the branches, thc
gentle play of the leaves, and the f1ickering OF
light upon them, when the moon is up. fill Inc
with an indescribable pleasure AS the Au
tumn comes on, feel very sad to see the
leaves falling one by one; but when they art
all gone, find that they were only screen be
fore my eyes-for Iexperience new and higher
satisfaction as l gaze through the naked
branches at the glorious stars beyond

spEAKINa WEL1 on orHERs.

If the disposition to speak well of others
were universally prevalent, the world would
become a comparative paradise The oppo-
site disposition is the Pandora box, which,
when opened, fills every neighborhood with
pain and sorrow. How many enmities and
heart-burnings flow from this source! How
much happiness is interrupted and destroyed !!
Envy, jealously, and the malignant spirit of
evil, which find vent by the lips, go forth on
their mission like foul fiends, to blast the rep
utation and peace of Others Every one has
imperfections. and in the conduct of the best
there will be occasional faults which might
seem to Justify animadversion. 1t is good
rule, however, when there is occasion for fault
finding, to do it privately to the erring one
This may prove salutary. 1t is proof of in
terest in the individual which will generally
be taken kindly. if the manner of doing it be
not offensive. The common and unchristiar
rule, on the contrary is to proclaim the fail
ings of others to all but themselves. This is
unchristian, and shows despicable heart.

WHY EVERYBODY Is Cross.

One day little John Wilson come running
into the house where his sister Mary was sew
ing. s'He held something in his hand which he
had found in the back yard.
."Oh, sister Mary" said he, q have found a
pretty thing. 1t is piece of red glass and
when looked through it, everything looked
red, too. The trees, the houses, the green
grass, your face, and everything is red"
Mary replied, Yes, it is very beautiful; and
let me show yon how to learn useful lesson
from it. You remember, the other day, you
thought every person was cross to you. Now,
you were like this piece of glass, which makes
everything red, because 1t is red. You were
cross, so you thought everybody round you was
cross, too. If you were in good humor, and
kind to every one, they will seem kind to you.
