MISCELLANEOUS 



The Love nf Woman There is Bomelliing in- 

 finitely touching' in the love of woman. Uncon- 

 scious of defect in the object of its devotion, it 

 knows no limit to its duration or intensity, and be- 

 comes identified with tlie very existence of the f»ir 

 being witli uliom it has taken up its abode. Alike 

 forgetful of self under all circumstances, it is not 

 seduced by the ostentatious displays of wealth and 

 magnificence, nor is its fervor abated amidst the 

 disheartening scenes of penury and degradation. 

 Well may woman say with the poet — 



"The heart thnt once truly loves Iiover forgola, 



iitit as truly loves on (o the close, 

 As the sun-fltiwir Uirns on iis God when \\» sets, 



The siinie loiik that il turned when iie roie." 



For her affection knows no change. It ascends the 

 scaffold and travnrses the battle field, unconscious 

 of disgrace or danger ; no coldness can chill its 

 ardor, and no iinworthincss can diminish its force, 

 whilst regardless of the smiles of prosperity or the 

 frowns of adversity, it identifies itself witli the des- 

 tinies of its object in the cold embrace of death it- 

 self. What a contrast does woman's love present 

 when compared with the calculating attachments 

 of man, and how nobly does it cast back upon him 

 the slanderous imputations of fickleness and sel- 

 fishness. — Setecled. 



Curiovs Civilily The Foreign Quarterly, in a 



review of Kohl's spirited and exceedingly interest- 1 

 iiig sketches of the capitol of Russia, Fays that cu- 

 rious scenes take place in tlie streets of St. Peters- 

 burg on a cold day. 



When I he nose freezes, the sufferer is wholly 

 unconscious of a fact, which to all who sec him is 

 made .ipparent by the chalky whiteness of that im- 

 portant appendage to the human face divine. Na- 

 ture for such occ.nsions has always provided, in 

 profuse abundance., the most cfTicacious remedy. 

 All that is necessary is, to rub the patient's nose 

 well with snow, and llie circulation usually reiurns 

 in a few minutes. If this is not done in time, the 

 noce is lost. It has therefore come to bo consid- 

 ered an act of common civility, in the streets of St. 

 Petersburg, for every body to look to the noses of 

 his neighbors, trusting that his neighbors will keep 

 an eye upon his in return, if you meet a man nnd 

 see that his nose is turning white, courtesy re 



A Pointed Hit 'i'he Lowell OfTering tells the 



following anecdote of Faflier Moody, who was pas- 

 tor of the church in York, Me., in the year 1700: 



"Col. Ingraham. a wealthy parishioner, had re- 

 tained his large slock of corn in lime of great scar- 

 city, in hopes of raising the price. Father Moody 

 heard of it, and resolved upon a public attack upon 

 his transgressor. So he arose in the pulpit one 

 Sabbath, and named as his text Proverbs xi., 1) : 

 "He that wiihholdeth corn, the people shall curse 

 him ; liul blessings shall be upon the head of him 

 that selleth it." Col. Ingraham could but know to 

 whom reference was made, but he held up his head, 

 and faced his pastor with a look of stolid uncon- 

 sciousness. Father .Moody went on with some 

 very applicable remarks, but Gol. Ingraham still 

 pretended not to understand the allusion. Father 

 Moody grew very warm, and became still more di- 

 rect in his remarks upon matters ond things. But 

 Col. Ingraham held up his head as high, perhaps 

 a little higher than ever, and would not put on the 

 coat prepared for him. Father Moody at length 

 lost all patience. " Col. Ingraham !" said he, "you 

 know that I mean you. Why do n't you hang down 

 your head ?" 



Were the same bcildness and plainness in rebuk- 

 ing sin now in vogue, which characterized the 

 pulpit in days of yore, how many men who enter 

 church with their lieads high, would leave it with 

 them lowered '.
