Love-.

With man, love is never a
passion of such intensity and
sin cerity as with woman. She
is a a creature Of sensibility, ex:
listing only in the out-pourings
and sympathies of her emo
tions--eyery earthly blessing,
nay, every heavenly hope will
be sacrificed for her affections.
She will leave the sunny home
of her childhood-the protect.
ing roof of her kindred for
get the counsels of her sire,
the admonishing voice of that
mother, on whose bosom her
head has been pillowed-do
all that woman can do consist
emily with honor-forsake all
that she, has clung to IN her
girlish simplicity for years, and
throw herself into the arms Of
the man she idolizes. lie that
would fOrsake a woman after
these testimonies of affection,
is tco gross a villain TO be called
a man. The wrath of heaven
will pursue him-the brando OF
Cain is upon his brow, and the
curse of Judas will .rankle ut
his heart. Unrequitted love
with man is to him never a.
cause of perpetual misery.
Other dreams will flowin upon
his imaginatioE-the abstract
ions Of business, the meteor of
ambition, or tn" pursuits of
wealth, will win him away
from his early infatuation. 1T
is not thus, with woman, AL,
though the scene may change,
and years, long withering and
lingering years, steal away the,
rose from the cheek of beauty,
the ruins of a breaking heart
can not be amalgamated-the
memories of that idol vision
can not be obliterated p from
the soul-she pines, nerves her
self away with pride and pines
away again, until her gentle
spirit bids adieu to the treach!
cries of earth, and fits away
into the bosom of her God. d.

This IL one of the great enterprises Of the
day. The historical matter is really valuable;
the sketches OF individuals and incidents are
admirably drawn, not only by the pen OF the
historian, but by the pencil Of the artist, and
both combined will make when bound, one OF
the marked histories Of the war. There are
official documects on every page, at the
bottom, which add much to the value OF the
work. 1t will he found on the centre tables
