The Two Phases Of woman.

Nothing can 5e more touching than
TO behold soft and tender woman who
had been all weakness and dependence,
and alive TO every trivial roughness while
treading the prosperous paths Of life,
suddenly rising in mental force to be
the comforter and supporter Of her hus-
band under misfortune, and abiding,
with unshrinking firmness, the bitterest
adversely. As the vine, which has long
twined its graceful foliage about the
oak, and been lifted by it into sunshine,
will, when the hardy plant is rifted by
the thunderbolt. cling around it with lite
caressing tendrils and bind up its shat
tered boughs, so is it beautifully ordered
by Providence that woman, who is the
mere dependent and ornament Of man
in his happier hours, should be his stay
and solace when smitten with sudden
calamity-winding herself into the rug
ged recesses Of his nature; tenderly
supporting the dropping head, and bind
ing up the broken heart.
