It is \ve confess, rather a hard lot which is assigned »o woman that she is never allowed to be tho first to tell her love. Sonic! Imvo contended that this is a right of which she ought not to be de prived , and tluit it is both unji St and cruel that she should not en joy the same privilege ns a man to express a preference for any ouc tp whom she happens to tdkc a fancy. Whatever intrinsic fair ness might desire, however, the distinction between the two sexes, 'itt this respect; is well settled by long established sunge, that to nit present' practical purposes, it scams 'idle to cavil at it now. But women ofteu feel what cus-. tom forbids them to express; anj it is possible that they sileutly in dulge tlieir predilections the more freely for the very reason tluit they arc prohibited from giving to them n voice. We think such in dulgence often leads to great un happiness, and sometimes to last ing disappointment and grief. We receive a large number of letters,from youug ladios, In which filiey avow fraukly. that they have permitted themselves to fall in love prich young men, of whose sentemeuts toward them they nfc in doubt.
