In concluding This hastily written report
of the mass-meeting last night it is proper
TO state that q more attentive, and respectful
audience was never assembled 10 this city.
Those who were present seemed to desire to
hear everything that was said. What was
stirring and eloquent received abundant 'ap.
ptause and was fully appreciated, and what
wasn't didn't. OF this last there was but
little, It Is gratifying to. note. ~

Children of active imaginations have
hours of torture at night, by calling up
visions and shapes of terror suggested
by their reading. 1t is useless to scold
at them, and cruel to laugh at them, for
it is a part of their nature which they
cannot change. Sara Coleridge, the
daughter of the poet and philosopher,
passed through untold agony from this
cause. The ghost of Hamlet seemed
to haunt her chamber. Millions picture
of Death at Hell-gate rose before her
in the darkness. The horse with eyes
of fame, in Southey's ballad Of the
" Old Woman of Berkeley" was worse
than either. She said, pitifully, o.,
the agonies l have endured between
nine and twelve at night, before mamma
Joined me in bed, in presence of that
hideous assemblage of horrorsP Her
Uncle Southey laughed heartily at her
tale of suffering. Her mother scolded
her for getting out Of bed and going
down into the parlor when she could
bear the fear no longer But her father
understood the case and directed that
lamp should be left burning, and from
that time all her suffering ceased. All
parents ought to guard their children
from such terrOrs.

The Alteration OF woman.

That adoration which a young man
gives to a woman whom he feels to be
better than himself, is hardly distin-
guishable from religious feeling.
What deep and worthy love is not so?
whether of woman or child, or art or
music. Our earesses, our tender words,
our still rapture under the influence of
autumn sunsets, or pillared vistas, or
calm, N ajestic statues, or Beethoven
symphonies, all bring with them the con-
sciousnes IS that they are mere waves and
ripples in an unfathonable ocean of
love ard beauty; our emotion in its
keenest moment passes from expression
into silence; ;.our love at its highest Hood
rushes beyond it's object, and loses itself
in the sense of divine mystery. Is it any
weakness, pray, to be wrought on by
exquisite music2 to feel its wondrous
harmonies searching the subtlest wind
ings of your soul the delicate iibres OF llie
where no memory can penetrate, and
binding together your whole being, past
and PRESENT. in one unspeakable vibration,
melting you in one moment with all the
tenderness, all the love that has been
scattered through the toilsome years,
concentrating in one emotion OF heroic
courage or resignation all the hard
learned lessons of sell-renounclng sym
pathy, blending your present joys with
past sorrow, and your present sorrow
with all your past joy2 If not, then
neither is it weakness to be so wrought
upon by the exquisite curves on wo-
man cheek and neck and arms, by the
liquid depths of her beseeching eyes or
the sweet childish pout of her lips. For
the beauty of lovely woman is like
music; what can one say more2 Beauty
has an expression beyond and far above
woman soul, that it clothes, as the words
of genius have a wider meaning than the
thoughts prompting them; it is more than
woman's love that moves as IN wo-
mans eyes-it seems to be a far-off
mighty love that has come near to US,
and made speech for itself there; the
dimpled arms move US by something
more than their prettiness-by their
close kinship with all we have known OF
tenderness and peace. The expression
in beauty (it is needless to say that there
are gentlemen with whiskers dyed and
undyed who see none of it whatever),
and for this reason the noblest nature is
often the most blinded to the character
of the womans soul, that the beauty
clothes Hence, | fear, the tragedy OF
human life is likely to continue for q
long time to come, in spite of mental
philosophers, who are ready with the
best receipts for avoiding all mistakes OF
the kind. George Eliot.
