Woman and EOVc.

Woman and kOEC.
THE following paragraphs are extract
ed from Michclet's late work, a. Amour"
or Love, and are worth reading by those
who value the pleasures of domestic life.
TIE HAPPY MAN.
He who is strong, aud does a mans
work he who is going to his daily toll,
leaves at home a beloved creature who
loves and thinks of him alone, is by that
very fact inspired with chcerfulness, and
is happy ali the day. \ blessed thing
is to have by your hearth-stoue a trust
worthy and loving woman, to whom YOU
can open your heart, with whom you can
suffer. She will prevent you from either
dreaming or forgetting.
WHO RULES.
I give you this charming vision of a
young girl for a guardian and for Men
tor, for prcceptor and governor. When
she is seventeen or eighteen years old,
the relations between you Will change.
As a wife, she will come into your house,
and think it very pleasant for Won to be
come master in your turn. You will
thank God, whose inventive kindness has
made woman for you-woman, the divine
contradiction,
TIE BASIS OF SOCIETY.
1t has often been said that it is the
helpIessness Of the child, which, prolong-
ing the cares of education, has created
the family. True, the child does not re
tain the mother, but the man is kept at
the freside by the mother hcrself-by
his tenderness for his wife, and the hap
piness heezperiences in protecting her. -.
She has fascinated him-innocently be-
witchlng him forever. He remains en-
chantcd and this is society.
WoMAN's WORK.
Woman's work must always partake Of
love, for she is fit for nothing else. What
is her natural aim, ler mission? First to
love; second to love but one; third to
tore aI2eoy$.
