fVc-1 the A. Y. .Vew World. 1VIDO U'S, OH, I RVXDJM THOUGHTS on HUMAN Si
Why should I make a man my liul? Ifntts
If there is one class of beings placed in a more enviable position than another it I iLa. of w idows! "But are you serious?" uMy dear. wy are you so liter a'? there i?
n (thing so deadening to ait imaginative temperament a to be asked in the midst i.fyour hif best flights, if you are in earnest. Earnest! ye, jmtlk-ieutly in earnest. 1 am not upon ua:, and let this fact be firmly esiablishod in your mill. I; and take notice, if I ain to be so uicotiriejusiy interrupted i: every step of my progres, I sh ill s ty birder thing th in I have evr said before. I conceive that I h ive a right to uiter my semim-tiu freely, and I intend to exercise it, f.ir I am a sort of female L-Jj.in, o.ving allegiance to n.t one. a id not sunk to the earth by the ever present consciousness that one impudent word or act may compromise the peace and reputation of another.
Ye, 1 avow it, bolJly and unlieaitaiiu,$ty,iliJi
I am a spinster by compulsion; and viewing
myself a an injured, a highly injured person. I am not to be censured if 1 "cry havuc and
let slip th? dogs of war!" Theretraja time when my bosom was susceptible of the ''soft impeachment," and tenderness, an J pity, w ould not have permitted
eve i the sh d w of a frown; but years and
disappointments have d me their work for n j son of Adam has ever come, and with a sort of hang-dog look, besought me "to crown his
passion." What I might have been, under such circumstances, it is useless to s,ccu..ue. what I am is but toj evid 'ir. Let the guilt rest where it oelongs. Stung, therefore, by a sense of ill desert, and careless if by implication I seem to bear hard upon one pat: of the human family, I again distinctly affirm, thai of widows! Not that I would speak of the process by w hich they become so, as either pleasant or desirable; or that I would recommend any sieps by which such a result could be obtained. No! on the contrary, I would discourage any such attempts, for there is danger attending it danger that it may not succeed, anl inri lite d.i;ier if it does. It would, there
fore, be far better to be born a widow; hui since that cannot be, 1 wish to view them in
the abstract, and in a war to give a litif; ol-
fence as the nature of the subject wi.i admit In speaking of this favored class. I would
observe, that I allude not to poor, miserable,
forlorn ones, sinking under the weight of a
"numerous small family," and the responsi-
bililies of a boarding houe; but to young, gay
relics, with handsome persons and handsome
fortunes. hy just think of id ihev have es
raped from the reproach of celibacy, and are frea from the evils which even the most ardent admirer of matrimony must admit is atu ndant
tipoi it.
Ah! you may siy what you please of the
trustfulness and loviiigness uhv u'. nature;
it is this same reproach of epin-ierslup that j leads more w omen to assume the chains ul wedlock. than all other circumstances besides. Oiher things doubtless concur. Gullibility. ' thy nam is worn in!" Living in our father's house, and sharing with others an affection, strong but always tranquil, our whole soul is in arms when a stranger, united to us by no ties of kin Ired or of obligation, breathes into our ear words of fire, and causes us to feel thai the devotion of our lives would be a poor return to repTy the obligation! Oh! these re women's triumphs! Look at man when hp
has attained the summit of earthly greatness! Can his situation compare in sublimity with that of the woman he loves; when he lavs ail his honors at her feet, and tells her they are worthless and less than worthless, unless she will share them! Out in dwelling on my sex's triumphs I forgot my individual wrongs, and with additional ferocity I return to the Nero
like feeling, that would that all the lords o reation could be resolved into one great ha. id, if so I might refuse it. Bat my subject is widows let me give you the history of one. It was the misfortune of Alice Derville to lose her parents at an early age, and with an infant brother to be consigned to the rare of amiternal uncle, who, though lie was of a peaceful and endurin; spirit himself, had a wife with a nose as sharp as a needle and a temper conformable thereto. But ere we place them in their future home, it may not be amiss to give some hints respecting their new relations. Mr. Benson's lot was a common one. He had narrow means, but it had been compensated by other blessings in the shape of boys. He had borne up without flinching till he could enumerate seren olive branches round his table;
but when the astounding fact was forwarded to
him that f iro more links were added to the
family chain, he yielded for a brief moment to an acerbity offeeiingand intemperance of expression equally unwonted and afflictive. In rain did his friends hint to him "of accidents
by flood an 1 field" in 'vain did his spiritual
advisers speak of him as the successful rival of
the ancient patriarchs he w as not to be mov
ed by uncertain or by abstract considerations. Nor were there wanting sources of disquiet from without. A childless individual lad given utterance to the sentiment, that, "as but a given number could be annually added to the human famil' , If certain selfish ones monopolized two, others must go without theni" a piece of logic which malevolence was nottlow to bring to his ears; and though anxious to re
pair his error, he had ma lea solemn tender of
the unconscious innocents upon the spot, it was indignantly rejected, and it needed but this last drop to fill his cup to overflowing.
It was while staggering (as it were) under
this backtoad of mortality, that this fresh con
sijmment of youthful relatives reiched him, and though trie cry ''pour on, I will endure." burst from his meek lips, vet burdened as he
was, it might well be feared that he would be
fairly prostrated. Gentle hope and patient endurance eould do much; still, as is conclusively urged in the fervent language of poetry, 'A man Is a man, snd a can is a can. And no man can do more than he can;' hot as he looked on the face of the orphans, rirhirtTof hit etJJemn enjf1pment fo prisV

gant home, w heie affectum, n., I not, was the
presiding geniu of ihe place, and where theie
was ever a kind hand lo souilic her infant sor
rows, but there was one bright uoi in her
lite. In iookiug up.m Iter brother Charles, and in sympathizing with his sanguine aspirations
for happier dais, she forgot herself, and thus years rolled away and brought her to the confines of womanhood. Determined no longer to eat the bitter bread of dependence (more indigestible, sa 1'ijsiologisls, than even thai bane of invaiiOs, hoi bread itself.) Alice determined lo gam a subsistence by her own exertions, a:.d a school w as with difficulty ottiiud.

sufferers by it, shows conclusively that the public min i has a irue appreciation of that kind of thral lorn. Not was Alice's experience dil
lereultroiii that of others. Hie loathed the tedioiM routine, the drawling lone, the little
dirty hands (ah! would they ever be Pi to be
offered or solu-ited in marriage'.) the dull in

Others might like i., and mioht cope with it.
but she could not; and disgusted and disheailened with her lot, she sank under it.
It was while recovering from this tediou-
illness that an incident occurred of deep and gvMteral interest in the vdlaue nf N. A child

The first appearance of Mr. I.'mtol in public
was u. it lustily imposing. He was short and thick st t, and his count nam e was eninely concealed by the voluminous folds of a red woolen comforter. His outer gai meut reached nearly to the ground and left nothing visible but a pair of large worsted sucks, which, a-
diey ambled slowly and gingerly along. gav plausibility to the report to which we have alluded. He had a p. ld headed cane in his hand and ih.. nub he carried u in somewhat a dtga lifestyle in level places, yet the conclusion forced itself irresistably up n themmd. that it was employed as much f.r service as for slmvv. Never had .Mrs. Simmons been such a belle! and vlat lliu i ps i f visin i! 1 1 d vi i d rot she and her brother be sociable! run in (hr
run, what irn ) without ceremony." Itut .Mrs. Simmons had her own plans, ai.d the first bright morning saw her, with her brother, moving slow y over lo see the Uensoiis. Nor had Mrs. R. ever appeared so amiable. Her usual vinegar aspect was now softened down ton lime pleasant lemonade, an agreeable acid just throw n in lo temper the cloying swee'ness; and "dear Alice" was called, and one glance did its work, for. from that hour, the socks walked regularly in the same direction, and always slopped in for a rest at the

partner saw all how it was. as round as . ring. Nor was it long before she gave him an opportunity to speak his mind, and the result showed the correctness of her conclusions. In language characteristic and without ciicundocuti.ui, he intimated his admiration of her noire, and his wish to instal her as future mistress of his family. But Mrs. Benson was too good a diplomatist to yield at the onset. She fell her power; and though she made ihe most searching inquiries, he answeied without flinching and up to the mark. To avoid fractions, and for the sake nfiotind numbers, he called himself fifty, hut w hen he hastily added the saving clause, that he had tw ice as many thousands as he had years, the only regret
was that he had not reached his grand climacteric. She enlarged upon the beauty of Alice, and the numbers and importance of her admirers; and so worked upon his fears, that in the generosity of his heart, he offered to settle upon her half his fortune. This was the point to which she had been constantly aiming; and bidding him on his departure be of good courage, sought the presence of her neice. If the offer of Mr. Lintot was made without
any great outlay of sentiment, it lost none ol
its directness in passing through the lips of his
agent; and hard must have been the heart that could have w itnessed without emotion the cold
shudder and compressed lips of Alice, as she
listened to bet relative. Indifferent to Ihe
pain she caused so she but gained her point
she urged her arreptance of the proposal in the most unqualified terms; and ns she saw the
agitation of her victim, hesitated not to inli
male that if she wilfully threw away ease and
independence, she should consider hersHf nb tolved from further care of her, and that hence'
forth Charles, despite of his delicate health,
must earn his bread as an artisan.
Alice had listened with a tearless eye and a bursting heart; but when she thought of this

But gracefully and firmly she declined ihem all. Not that she had any objection to man in the abstract on the contrary, she thought hint a most respectful and useful part of the human family, and wished him well; but she was sufficient ofher?elf,er herself (so to speak) and would fain be left in quiet. And she was happy happy in the unrestrained freedom of her own will, and in the unfettered power of doing good. Endowed with a fortune she could scarcely call her own and what woman of true deli-ary could feel olherw ise and unencumbered with the ordinary cares or her sex, it was her delight and privilege to seek rut the victims of poverty snd misfortune, and administer to their necessities.
