As Austere Women Love.

Austerity In women is sometimes the accompaniment of a rare power of loving. And when it is so their attach ment is strong as death; their fidelity as resisting as the diamond; they are hungry for devotion and athirst. -fan, sacrifice. Their love is a piety, their tenderness a religion, and they triple the energy of love by giving to it the sancity of duty.—Amiel’s Journal.
