WOman's Strength.

The strength of women lies in their
heart. 1t shows itself in their strong
love and instructive perception of riphf
and wrong. intellectual courage is
rarely one of their virtues. AS q rule
they are inclined to be restless and ex,
cltable, allowing their judgments and
actions to be swayed by quick emotions
OF all kinds, but, above all, it is in their
hopefulness and their endurance that
they find their chief power. Who is
the last person to give up hope in the
case of a member Of the family who has
apparently gone altogether to the bad :?
What mother or sister with deep and
ardent love for such will ever cease to
cherish hope or endure suffering on their
account? The patience of women is pro
verbal, and their whole lives are bound
up in their affection. Few people will
deny that love in one form or another
makes up the beauty of life to woman,
1t enters into all she does. Any work
outside her immediate circle is undrtaken
most often from pure desire to help some
one else to know something of the
mysterious happiness of love. Unlike
men, women chiefly look for personal
intercourse with those for whom they are
working. If their interest lies among
the poor, they are desirous of sympathetic
personal acquaintance with them; and
very little good work of q LASTING kind
has been done by women without their
own influence of love being brought to
bear on the individual case.

An AnecdOte of. Gladstone.

The man is more interesting than any
of the parts he has been called to play:
but We como to understand the man bet
ter by seeing how he shapes and molds
these parts. AS an orator, his conspicuous
merits, beside his striking countenance,
dlgnitied action, and q voice full, rich,
and admirably modulated, are fertility
and readiness. He seems to have always
at command an ineXhaustible store of
ideas, reasons, illustrations whatever be
the subject which he is required to deal
with. OF all great English speakers,
probably no one, not even William Pitt,
has been SO independent of preparation.
Even Fox, swift and rushing as he was,
was great only in reply, when his feelings
were heated by the atmosphere of battle,
whereas Mr.. Gladstone is just as ami
mated and forcible in an opening, or in O
purely ornamental and uncontentious
.arangue, as in themidst of parliamentary
strife. OF the many anecdotes that are
current illustrating his wonderful power
of rising to an occasion, one may be given
which has the merit of being true. On
che afternoon when he was to make an
important motion in the House of Com
mons, friend, happening to call on him
between two and three o'clock, found
htht J'10O o1utlliS1 1to"u " lIdho SOulS uOUSS
OF the coming speech. He laid aside his
pen and talked for while, then jotted
down few heads on paper, went down
to the House before four o'clock, found
himself drawn into preliminary contro-
versy of a very trying nature, in which
he had to repel SO many questions and
attacks that it was past six before he rose
to make the great speech. He then dis
covered that, as he had left his eye
glasses ut home, his notes were practi-
cally useless, put them quietly back into
his coat pocket, and delivered with no aid
to his memory, and upon that one hours
a powerful argument inter-
spersed with passages of wonderful pas
sion and pathos, which lasted for three
hours, and will always rank amongst his
finest efforts. .-,Scri6ner'S Magazine.
