Courage in Woman

Let there be chastity i'll men, and cour-
age III women, said one OF the early fathers
OF the Church, not meaning to say that the
virtues Of the two sexes should be exchane-
ed, but Iolclbly suggesting that neither OF
these virtues is tie peculiar characteristic of
either sex, aud that both are as necessary in
the one as i'll the other. We are reminded
of this wise maxim in the following stray
%all, which is going the rounds Of the press
uncrcdItcd, but which, though its origin be
unknown, Is well desc wing to be read and
pondered:
There is a branch OF general education
which Is not thought at all n Cessary for Wo-
mel, as cgards which, indeed, 1t is well if
they are brought up to cultivate the opposite
" omen are not taught to be courageous.
Indeed, to some persons, courage may seem
as unnecessary tor women as Latin or Greek.
yet there are few things that would tend 10
make women hap ier in themselves, and
more acceptable to those with whom they
live, than courage. There are women of the
present day sensible women in other thiuos
whose panic terrors are frequent source
OF discomfort to themselves and those around
them. Now, 1t is great mistake to imagine
that hardness must 20 with comagc; and
that the bloom OF gentltness and sympathy
must be rubbed off by that vigor of mind
which gives presence of mind, enables per-
son to he useful in peril, and makes the de-
sire to assist overcome that sick illness Of SEN
sibility which can only contemplate distress
and difficulty. So far from courage being
unfemnine, there is peculiar grace and
dignity in those beings who have little active
power Of attack or defence passing through
danger with moral courage which is equal
to that of the strongest. We see this in
great things. We perfectly appreciate the
sweet s1 and noble dignity of Anne Bolcyn,
Mary, Queen Of Scots, or Marie Antionette.
There Is no beauty in fear 1t is mean,
ugly, dlshevelCd creature. No statue can be
made of it that woman would wish to see
herself like"

Over the River.

Over the river they brckou to me-
Loved ones who'vc crossed the further side
The geam Of their snowy robes Isee
But heir voices are lost by the dashng tide.
There's one with ringets of sunny gold
And eyes the reflection Of Heavens own bue
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the ptle mist hid him from mortal view.
We saw not the angels that met him there,
The CAT" Of the city we could not see;
over The river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welcome me.
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another, the household PET;
He brown curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling 'innic lsee her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fsarIessly entered the phantom bark;
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be
over The river, the mystic river,
My childhood's idol is waiting for ne.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman, cold and pale
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And 10! they have passed from our yernlrg hearts {:
They cross the stream anG alc gone for aye;
We may not sundcr the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail viii US DER lifc's stormy sea,
Yet somewhere, know on the unseen shore,
They watch and beckon, and wait for me
And sit and think when the sunsets gold

What Parents Ale.

To provide homes food and vearingappar
Fl for children is not the whole duty Of pa.
rents
What the pilot is to the ship the parent is to
TIC child. The one conducts the frail bark
far out to sea, beyond the reach Of special
dangers, and then surrendors his charge into
otner hands. The other guilds deathless
spirit thro Ugh the periIs and quick8onds Of
childhood and youth aud then leaves it to
the mercy of Il treacherous world, to drift
upon the tide Of circumstances, or to follow
the beat OF tn il inclinations, given to it by
parental training and discipline. Though
the parent cannot insure successful issue,
yet he is in a great egree responsible for the
future career and fate Of his child; for it is
expressly commanded, q Train up u child in
the way he should Co. and when he is old he
will not depart fron it." If, then, the words
Of the wise man are true, and if the children
do depart from the way they should go Or
rather, are never taught TO walk in it, aud 60
do*n to destruction, and to eternal death
whose fault is it, if it is not the parents?

WHAT WILL They SAY ?-Mankind are
governed, more than many are willing to con-
less, by the silOOt self queries, "What will
people think and what will people say g.
Think of it, reader, if these be not among
your own perpetual inward questionngs. Is
it not every day, perchauce, that you halt in
some purpose or pursuit and suffer the i'm
agingcd verdict of the outside world-of your
friends acquaintance, the community? There
are thousands who fancy themselves indie.
pendent, but who are daily and hourly serv.
TORS of those tyraut queries: What will
people think-what will they say ?" Never
mind what they'll think or say, as long as
you outrage no duty Or decency; but only do
what your own judgment dictates as best
as right and proper for yourself This is the
kind of independence that will sooner or lat
er command respect.-Nason.
