rouse her affections, onkindle the
fires of her hearth Place her in the
heat OF battle--give her q child, a
bird. or anything to protect-ard
see her, in o relative instance, lift-
ing her white arms as a shield, as
her own blood crimsons her up
turned forehead, praying for her
life to protect the helpless. Trans
plant her in the dark places of the
earth, call forth her energies to
action, and her breath becomes a
healing her presence a blessing.

Europe appeal to the eye; in Amers
lea nearly all appeal to the ear.
The sending Of messages from place
to place is dependent upon mere
trausitory signals, which in many
cases are similar to each other; and
