THE sOROsIs-A wOMAN,s YIEM.

The bOROSAS-A hOMANh VIEW.
Certain literary ladies of New York,
who attempted to get up blue-stocking
club, seem 10 have come to grief in their
undertaking. The female mind has no
turn for clubs. Your club is an offspring
Of John Bull, and fourishes only in the
logs Of London. John Bull goes through
dense fog, in . state Of mental repose, and
there realizes a sense of enjoyment that
comes of a good digestion, quiet brain,
and Emphatic temperament. Our
American works hard to accomplish this
repOse, and the harder he works the less he
has. The female American tried it on, and
found their only entertainment to be vio-
lent quarreling, and the result is the club
has been broken up. "A Woman" in the
Philadelphia Press gives her views Of this
club business for her sisters as follows
So the great Sorosis Is dead So it
ought 70 be. Who for one moment be
heved that an organization founded on
such principles could ever become popular
enough among females 10 survive any
length Of time2
Its requirements were even more out
rageous and unfeminine than those of "Wo-
mans Rights" associations, and what an
uphill road that band ofsisters have always
had 10 travel Women, like men, have
their faults, and it is not TO be wondered at,
when men find such supreme delight in
clubs and club houses as 10 forsake the So
ciety Of their wives and the comforts of
evenings at home for the pleasures there
afforded, that woman should, both from
curiosity and revenge, become desirous Of
establishing as near as possible similar or
CARNATIONS, where they may while away
the lonely hours.
But there is an innate principle In the
hearts Of all women not wholly perverted,
that renders il impossible for them 60 long
ConlinBe to uphold any organization that
has not for its basis some great good. Wo-
men, az a sex, are not selfish, and the COM
fort protection and womanly care Of the
loved or unfortunate, are the motives
which appeal strongest TO their hearts.
The institutions throughout oar land for
the care and education Of hosneless and
orphaned little ones, for INDECENT and aged
females, Tor fallen women, and many more
Of like character, sustained almost exclu-
siyely by the efforts of females, are ex-
amples Of the great strength Of womsn's
power turned in the right direction, and
monuments TO their memory that will en-
dure while time shall last, and not, like
the Sorosis be oyeFthrown by the fret rude
blast.
Peace, then. 20 the ashes of Sorosis.
May we never hear of It's like again among
the women Of America while there are so
many toiling, suffering and helpless ones
among our sex who daily claim our efforts
in their behalfl and may women ever re-
member that IA their weakness hes their
strength.

MRs. RHoDA BERG, a widow seventy-six
years lOf age, died in Chelsea, Massachu-
sets, few days since, from the effects Of a
slight scratch made upon her hand by a
tame rabbit. At first nothing was thought

broken and no blood was drawn. A short
time anerward the arm began to swell, with
ercruliating pain, and continued 70 DO 50

-APRoPos to the above, is the fol-
owing on 1.-THE Laugh of a Woman. +"
A woman has no natural gift more
bewitching than a sweet laugh. 1t is
like the sound of flutes on the water. II
leaps from her in clear sparkling rill;
fnd the heart that hears it feels as if
bathed in the cool, celebrating spring.
Have you ever pursued an unseen flu
gitive through the trees. led on by fairy
laugh, now lost now found2 We have;
and we are pursuing that wandering
voice to this dav. Sometimes it comes
to us in the midst of care or sorrow, or
irksome business, and then weturn away
the evil spirit Of mine. How much we
owe to that sweet laugh 1t turns prose
to poetry; it filings flowers to the sun
shine over the darkness of the wood in
which we are travelling; it touches with
light even our sleep, which is no moro
than the image of death, but it consumes
with dreams that are the shadows Of i'm
mortality.

We close this chip gather ing for
the week, with the following from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, on "Growing
Old"
There is nothing more touching and
beautiful than age. The bent form. the
feeble, tottering step, the dimed eye and
the child like confidence of the aged
speak to every heart. not dead to every
human emotion, with wond erful power
and paihos. We do not envy the feel
ings of that per son who can say slight
ing word to or of the aged of any con-
dition of life. and whose strong baud is
not held out at every rough corner and
every narrow crossing. Not many days
since we saw bright and beautiful little
girl. having almost the form and sem
biapce of an angel, rudely jostle poor,
decriped old dame on the sidewalks and
tell her in tones of petulance to keep out
of her way. That girls bright eyes
will yet be dim and lusterless, and her
fair round shoulders bent with the weight
of years and the burdens of life; and if
her life's sunset is cold and obscured
with clouds, it will be because she her.
self, in the bloom of youth, poisoned the
chalice with a suicidal hand. OF all to
be low ed and cherished. and kindly cared
for, the aged are first deserving. for they
have borne their share of the burdens, and
their patient old eyes are only waiting to
see the gates lifted up. when they will be
closed in an ecstacy of love. We grow
old, but only that we may rshsbilitate
ourselves W 18th the garments of an end
less youth.

Take back thy flowers. deceitful Spring,
And strew no buds for me.
Bring me instead the fair young head
They said would come with thee.
Those curls of gold low in the mould
Have lain meath cold, cold snow
Yet tempest's hail and winters wall
Could harm them not, know.
They said he'd come with gladstone Spring
/ thought they told me true;
Yet birds awning now sweetly sing,
And daisies drip with dew
I'm sure heard his hooking bird
Call a: the window-sill /;
listened long for answering song;
Why il he silent still
And cen the roses on his bush
Are blushing white and red
By his birth-night they'll open quite,
He cannot yet be dead.
Take back thy flowers, deceitful Spring,
I'll have no bud from thee;
But give me now the fair young brow
They said would come with thee.
