Il most cstimnble lady, the wife Of the Repre-

"Ono of the most attractive and domestic
women who grace our city this winter IS Mrs,
Belurd wife of James b. Belord member of

thoroughly womanly woman, devoted to her
husband and lcr children. She is fond of
society, bur cannot find time for its ccaSelcss

therefore prcturs TO immediate herself upon the
shrine Of motherhood, aud one who has seen
her bright and winning children would not
wonder at her choice. Mrs Belford, notwith-
standing her manifold cares, finds time for in

Mr.. MacCaulcy's discourse was an elaborate
analysis of DR.. Channings character thought,
