The True Woman.


Who sh&ll line for US the picture of
true, good woman--the pride and the para
gon Of her own sex, and the ambition Of the
other; of the woman young, beautiful, health
ful-well-informed, but not pedantic !; who,
can talk well, listen well, sing we'll, play wel,r
walk we'll, and dress we'll who is neither Hirt,
nor pride who knows neither too much nor
too little; whose lips are innocent Of slang,
and whose heart is pure from evil thought
who is polished in manners, and afectionatea
in disposition beloved of the old. the: dar-
ling Of the young shy, modest, retiring and
commanding all the worlds homage, without
demanding the homage Of anybody as1
/ It must not be considered that the YOUTH
fulness of such q woman is absolutely neces-I
sary to her lovliness, Youth is a, great bless /,
ing and great charm /; but, age is also. a
blessing-do we not wish to grow old and
a great adjournment if it be combined with
goodness The beauty Of the mind grows
with the revolving years, and makes a wo,
man of seventy with mind and manners and
innate gentleneas more beautiful than sweet
seventeen can be- if the mind and the man

Though all the women are not such. as
every man at the poetical period of life, has
pictured in his imagination, there are thous-
ahds in every country who resemble the
ideal, if not in accomplishments and educa-
tion-for these are not within the reach of
every ons--yet by outward grace of person,
and inward purity of SOUL All the flowers
that bloom in the fair garden of humanity
are not Of equal delioaoy and briliancy; for
nature, that has room for the magnolia the
lily, has room also for the violet, the bluebell,
and the daisy, and loves her humblest child
rem as we'll as her proudest. Is aW .I4y
Nothing in the world-at least to the male
eye-equals in pleasantness the face and
form of bashful and virtuous woman, look
ing up to man for support and guidance,
and giving him her true affection in return.
Nothing, on the other hand, is more disagree-
able than the bold virago, womanly in form.
but not ia spirit, who would storm the cita-
del of your politeness to extort your homage
vsret ornis, and who, by every movement Of
her features and glance Of her eyes, evan if
she do not utter asyllable, betrays that she
is pulled up with concett and selfshness, and
is too ignorant to distinguish between ehurl
and a gentleman, or to accept the place that
properly belongs to her in the social system.
