what Makes . Woman.

Not costly dress nor quoenly airl
Not ieweled hand, complexion fart
Not graceful form nor lofty ttead)
Not paint, nor curls, nor splendid hoad,
Not pesrly teeth nor sparkling eyesj
Not voice that nightengale outvies;
Not breath as sweet as eglantinej
Not gaudy gems nor fabrics flno;
Not all the stores Of fashions mart,
Not che blandishments Of art,
Not one nor oil of these combined,
Gan make ono woman truo, refined.
'Tis not the caskot that we prize,
But that which in the oasket lies,
These outward charms that please tho sight
Are naught unless tho heart be right.
She, to fulfil her destined end,
Must with her beauty goodness blend;
Must make il her inoessant caro-
To deok herself with jewels rare;
Of priceless gems must be possessed,
In robes of richest beauty dressed;
Yct these must olotbe the inward mind,
In purity the most refined.
Sho who doth all these goods combine
Can mans rough natures woll refine;
Hath oil she needs 10 this frail life
TO fit for mother, sister, wifo.
Oontontment dwells within her mind,
Aud peace doth there lodgmeut find.
He who possesses suoh friend
Should cherish woll till death doth end.
Woman, in fne, the mate should be,
To sail with man o'er life's rough sea,
And when the stormy cruise is o'er,
Attend him to fair Cannan's shore.
