Woman, thou art made for peace, love, and duty, for strife or dictation! Thou art the gentle dew of which freshens and cherishes the verdant grass and the flower, and not the roaring furious torrent, to sweep then

Thou art the living warmth and the glorious light fr skies, to vivify and brighten, and not the fire to cons the darkness for despair!

Thou art the celestial paradise of man, and not the to sting and poison his or thy felicity! Love him, or lea quit him, or cleave unto him. Beguile, bewitch, and cha as thou wilt, but fret him not. Banish thyself forev his presence, or bear in silence all that thy fate ordains

This secret power and dominion, which women so wel they can triumphantly hold over man, are essentially with their nature.

They are conscious of its possession, and by instinct pate its strength and success with the confidence of n and experience, even in the tender years of budding in

There is involved in this branch of cu philosophy no obscurity: it is explained b of a few plain facts, entirely within the of ordinary understanding.

The dissimilarity between the sexes is at first view supposed.

Their occupations make no difference, i performed by them in different countries.

wants, passions, and appetites are alike; the difference b them makes them mutually dependent, and increases the sions for their intercourse and intimacy.

The delicate sympathies of the woman towards man his pride and soothe his hours of care; while her weakne timidity find confidence and security in his sterner natur

And thus their apparent inconsistencies are wisely ma consciously to suit their respective deficiencies of charac The concurring tones of the same sex produce jars a cord; whereas there is harmony with the low keys of of the dulcet notes of the other.

Between men there can only be friendship, not love; s between women; but between man and woman there is

site and rapturous love.

These apparent discrepancies have no control over the bilities and preferences.

There is no other tie so strong, so deep, and lasting. Religion may be more devout, but not more ferven love; it may be more pure, but not more sincere; it n more calm and holy, but not more enthusiastic and resol Love pervades alike the hearts of the good and the ba is wholly blind and indifferent to the conduct and chara its object.

There is disinterested purity in love.

Pure men have loved most fondly and devotedly un and licentious women; and the best women have, wit gious fidelity and truth, followed to the prison and the the most cruel and dissolute men,

There is to this infatuation no stint from poverty, crin firmity, or opposition; all these increase its ardor, and f the never-dying flame of true and genuine love. It is a re ing and heavenly principle of our common nature, but made subservient to avarice and lust.

Under the dissimulations of love, base, cowardly, and less villainies have been perpetrated; spotless virgins hav despoiled of honor and every earthly hope; fraudulent riages have been put upon innocent and confiding female lowed by neglect, insult, treachery, and false and scan
