It was said by an-6xcullent divtoe, " T though many discoveries have been made the world of sell•love, &hare is •handsace 'terra tnoogoita left behind. ' It hes pleas men to arrogate to themselves nearly whole of human courage and to reg• women as very timid and cowardly or ares when compared with themselves. N we do not deny that some women 000&ei ally heve little •ffeotatiooe which PITO oolor to this opinion. These are sowed meeting harmless oows or oxen, as thoeg they were ferocious bulb. They jump terror on • chair at sight ot a manse. thaw, however, are errors of education, j as boys aro taught from the cradle Jo d spies girls for their supposed want of bra ery, and grow to manhood without mei their mjatake. Yet Mandeville in b " Searob into the Nature of Society," eve that "Man, as he is • tearful animal, Data ally not rapacious, loves peace and qui* and he would never fight if nobody offends Nm, and he could hsve what he fights f without it." Thu may be true of mac as savage. But civilization gives so muc skill and dissipates so many errors and to rots, that men have learned to be quarte some courageous and self•reliant. It weal be natural to suppose the motben and it ten of brave mea wand/' be brave also. W look for cognate dualities in both ether animals, and are not disappointed Why should mankind be an exception Why should it be imagined that men hay all the oourave and women a monopoly o timidity ? Simply because of men's stupen dew sell-senoeit. The majority heirs bees z-vasiwal though. The Mire excluded women from their own favor its fields tor the display of bravery, and then pride themselves spm their vast r perionty. But, wiAn.verwomee had equal opportunitie., they have proved themselves no despicable compsthors with mem in physical courage, and far •head ot them in moral fearlessness. At a time like the present, when public attention is largely drawn to a comparative view of the qualities of both sexes, it may be profitable to draw attention to the brav- ery of women. We do not desire to under- value the coneptcueus valor of men. On the contrary, we •re proud to reoognize It the full. We only wish to point out that women aro capable of tae same great quality to • profitable degree, and that, therefore, it should be •enoeureg.d in them as well as In mea. If the men refuse, let women ex - bort each other. No • one can doubt that moral courage is superior to physical. Men exceed in the latter, women in the former, and it is not desirable that this should be altered even were it possible. Vet it would' add to the dignity ot both if men were strooger moral- ,apd.,leemenll allg ._._.__ _ .._ ._- A modern historian says, " Moral and estional laoulties may alike be dormant, and they wul oertainly be so if mea are wholly Immersed in the gretifio•tioe of their Moths.
