WOMAN
By a YOUNG MAN:
Female loveliness cannot be clothed in a more pleasing garb than that of knowledge.—A Female thus arrayed is one of the most interesting objects of creation. Every eye rests upon her with pleasure—the learned and wise of the opposite sex delight in her society, and affix to her character respect and veneration—Ignorance and folly, stand reproved in her presence, and vice in his bold career shrinks abashed at her gaze. She moves the joy; the delight, the pride of the domestic circle—she excites the praise—the admiration of the world. A female thus armed, thus equipped, is prepared to encounter every trial which this uncertain state may bring—to rise with proper elation to the pinnacle of fortune, or sink with becoming fortitude, into the abyss of poverty: to attain with a cheerful serenity the heights of bliss, or endure with patient firmness the depths of woe.
