The one is destined and fitted ‘for the’ more ac-
tive and perilous scenes; the other for theduties

the other to lean on the arm of her ‘protector:
the one to exhibit the sterner virtues ; the other
the milder: the one possessing more of active
. courage; and the other more of fortitude, of
resignation, and ‘unweariable patience, and more
of the benevolent affections.
‘ This is nature’s distinctive line, which,'on the
part of female character can ‘never be overleaped
without producing disgust and ridicule. Hence
it is, that of all affectation, none is more displeas-
ing, than a woman's affecting the spirit and man-
ners of the other; sex. VV-e have a sort of admi-
ration of the heroic intrepidity of the Spartan la-
dies ; of their contempt of danger; of the stoic-
al apathy or rather exultation with which they re-
ceived the news of their sons and -husbands dy-
ing bravely in battle. We admire them as prod-
igies but neitherlove nor esteem them as women.
—-—-And why is i't that the athcistical ,/2zz'r is re-
garded with such singular horror ? Why is the
foul oath, theheaven daring blasphemy, doubly
horrible in the ear of decency, when proceeding
from the lips of woman ? It is because we con-
trast thc outrage with the attributes of timidity,
gentleness, delicacy, and sensibility, ‘belonging
more peculiarly to the sex.
One of the" most deplorable wants in woman,
is thawant of heart ,- the want of genuine sensi-
bility, of the radical affection of sympathy. and
benevolence. It is a want for which neither beau-
0--

Against Slander there is no defence ;‘Hell can-‘

—It is the heart searching dagger of the dark as-

Friezzds-hi/z.—No blessing of life is any way
comparable to the enjoyment of a discreet an'd
virtuous friend: it cases and unloads the mind,
clears and improves the understanding, engen-
ders thought and knowledge, animates virtue and
good resolutions, soothes and allays the passions
and finds employment for most of the vacant
hours of life.
W . Pem2_, on 1Warrt'agc.—Do thou be wise
Prefer a person before money--virtue before
b,eauty—-and the mind before the ‘body.--Then
thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second
self--one that bears an equal share with thee in
all thy toils and troubles.
Self Enjoyment.--VVhoever takes an attentive
survey of mankind, cannot fail to be struck with
this observation——that in general, all are roving
about in pursuit of enjoyment, and seldom think
of seeking it within themselves. '
A good life does not silence calumny, but it
certainly disarms it.

EVENING REFLECTIONS;

flection. Happy is he who rightly improves this
season of meditation. W'here1’n he has done a-
miss, he resolves on amendment. Has be per-
yet unshaken confidence, to‘ the Author of all
good, for his‘ guidance and protection ?' If so,
then is his felicity indeed enviable. The posses-
sion of power, the wealth of kingdoms, would
not be an equivalent for the happiness a christian
‘enjoys. He has nopainful forebodings of the fu-
ture ;’for he has an assurance, -if he continues in
the path of rectitude, that He, without whose
Il0fij(_ié,q;__,not even a sparrow falls to the ground, will
be ‘hisiéhepherd and his pastor. iHe presses his
pillow, ‘breathing a prayer of gratitude, and his_
slumbers are sweet and tranquil.
