WOMAN. Extract from - The Hie jlui," a new publication which has re cently appeared in New York

l Women have been called angels, in love tales and sonnets till we have almost learned to think of angels a little better than women Vet a man who knows a woman thoroughly, and loves her truly : and there are women who may be both so known and loved ; will find after a few years, that he has grown into a fondness for the intellectual and refined pleasure, without a?i effort and almost unawares. Tie has been led on to virtue through his pleasures. The delight of the eye. and the gentle play on that passion which is the mt inward and romantic in our nature, and which keeps much of its character amidst the concerns of life, have held him in a kind of speritualiz cd exist nee. lie shares his very being with one who, a creature of i this world, and with some of the world's frailties is Yet a spirit stilt, and bright, With something of an angel's light. 44 With all the sincerity (if a companionship of feeling, cares Soi rows, and enjoyments her pre sencc is as the presence of a purer being, and there is that in her nature which seems to bring him nearer to a better world She is. as it wee. linked to angels, and lie feels, in his exalted moments. held by the same. tie. i " A woman, amidst the ordinary affairs of life, has a greater in iluence than a man on those near
