Social And Personal A WOMAN'S LOVE. Man knows not love such ns a wo man feels. In him it is a vast devouring flame— Resistless fed—in Its own strength consumed. In woman's heart it enters step by step. Concealed, disowned, until Its gentle ray Breathes forth a light, illumining her world. Man loves not for repose: he woos the flower To wear it as the victor’s trophled crown: Whilst woman, when she glories in her love. More like the dove. In noiseless con stancy Watches the nest of her affection till Tis shed upon the tomb of him she loves. —Selected. SEWING ROOMS To BE OPENED.
