| TRIBUTE TO WOMAN.
We have seen many beautiful tributes
to lovely woman, but the following is
nt 10 w .
Place her among the flowers, toster as a
tender plant, and she is a thing OF fancy
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by dew
drop, fretted by the touch Of butterfy's
wing, ready to faint at the sound Of Il
beetle, or the rafting oil a Window-pane
at night, and she is oVerpoWered by the
perfume of rosebud. But let real ca.
llamity ,come-r0use her atfe ctions, en-.
klndle the fires OF her heart-and marx
her then! How strong is her heart
l Place her in the heat Of battle-give heI
u child, bird, OF anything to protect
and see her, III relative instance, lift
ing her white arms as snield as hel
own blood crimsons her upturDed fore
head, praying for her lite to protect tht
Ihelpless. Transplant her in the darb
places Of the earth, call forth her ener
gies to actlon, and her breath becomes
, healing, her presence blessing. Sh
sdisputes inch by inch the strides OF
stalking pestilence, when man, tn
strong ana brave, pale and atirighted
shrinks away. Misfortune haunts he
not. She wears away life OF silen
endurance, and goes forward with les
timldity than to Aer bridal. In prosperi
ty she is bud full of Ouors, waiting bu
Tor the winds of adversely to scatte
them abroad-pure gold, valuable bu
untried in the furnace. ln short
woman is miracle, a mystery, the cen
ter from which radiates the charm Of ex
istence.
