Woman,s sfaud.

There is scarcely in the whole scope of
our enjoyment-it is bold, bold assertion,
but oh, how true Ia sensation, more de-
lightful than that arising from the warm
touch of woman's hand. Its very 3elicacy
and weakness, as it glides into more
strong and manly grasp, is fit emblem OF
the Just confidence the heart is so desirous
to bestow upon its destined protector. And
whilst the nerves thrill over the soft fingers
and the electricity Of passion is firing every
vein-whilst spirit richer aud more rein
ed than thought itself. futters in the bosom
how the heart seems striving to expand
itself into that unutterable ecstacy of being,
soseldom felt impossible to be described.
Reader, invoke, we pray thee, the aid Of
memory, and lot her recall, in moonlight
frh,lness, the scenes of thy courtship-thy
April mornings of hope and fear-of love,
joy and passion. Let those visions of bliss
again arise in shadowy review, like the
springing afresh of a rainbow fountain
thou wilt own that whether amidst the
Injuries of art, screened by friendly shade
from the too strict scrutiny of the brilliant
chandelier, or in the solitude of natures 3
untimed magni6cence-if thou couldst but
win the confidence of her thou lovsr, so
seemingly unconscious it had escaped her
maidenly keeping, she would trust her tim.
id hand in thine, thy thoughts were flooded
with delight-thy very bosom glowed With
generous rapture. Obi how you then
swere to thy heart of hearts Ia more holy,
more pure, than that of the altar to pro-
.tect, to comfort her--to minister to hel
joys, to be her guide, her all in all II
thou didst not, thou vast no lover.
lPerchance with the soft reminiscence Of
stolen glances (the first effect of unpledged
love, timid speeches and ardent vows, come,
the withering thought of faith broken
looks estranged, and vows forgotten-th'
cold oountenanoe the naughty answer, thu
disdainful smile. Alas memory is too faith
full witness; and when called to bear tes
Syne,h dare even there be Cross.cxamined

After all, nothing does succeed like sue
cess" Here we find the London Athe-
u@um, which could never be sufficiently
contemptuous towards our armies, now
credited with the following notice of Sher-
mans men, and in its zeal, as one must con.
fess, little over. shooting the mark, if any
thing:
except the squadrons which charged at
Worcester and Naseby, no army was ever
set in the field like that of Sherman. Many
Of the rank and file were gentlemen; poets,
writer's, advocates, preachers, bankers,
landlords; such men as would mix in Lon.
don society and be members of Pail Mall
clubs. Many of the cavalry rode their own
mares; many of the infantry had bought
their own arms They were persons of estate,
accustomed to good houses and rich living
They had friends in high places, and lnxu-
rious homes awaiting their return. Some
Of the best regiments of Massachusetts, and
the Western States we're in the camp. And
they were strong in number as in spirits;
10, 600 fighting men of the best blood in
America counted after all the n,neffectives
had been left behind What were they GO
ing to do? Ooe thing was clear; they were
going to defy all military rules, and at the
risk Of their live. to enlarge the art Of war.

roof and the two sides nearest she confgra-

plug near the coulting-house, we're ready
to put the water on. A member forced the
door open, and the dog, already subjected
to he; t of several hundred degrees, sprang
into the open air. Having regained his
liberty, he exhibited his gratitude by lick
| ing the hands of his -rescuer, aud, fondly
running around him. eyinced various signs
of joy. The dog was an entire stranger to
the fireman, and under other circumstances
would have made an attack upon him. The
animal seemed desirous to stay by him, and
net permit any person to approach him.
| A rope was finally placed around the neck

the terrible exciting scenes incident to the
great fire. .....-. -.........
