The freedom of our wedded women should be na broad and full as that of the unweded. Domesticity should regulate itself. Tho cord of lnynlty, binding love can nnt b( s.t retch cd very far without breaking ; and when it breaks, love is reloaded. A man and woman are married to each o'.bor, not to all their acquaintances an! ev?ry cu rious gossip. It is f'uir to presume that they know what they wish* and that they can arrange their affairs without iuteimediation. The liberty thoy nro generally willing to give the one to uie utlior thoy are re strained from giving by tho question of appearances.

Widow hood is often as associate of saokoloth and SBhes. Orphanhood too often moans desolation and woe. Creole Women. The Creole woman is prettier than the Frenob woman. There is a climatic in fluence in America which refines features and gives delieacy to tho complexion. This is especially the case in Louisiana, where finely formed woraon are often found to be the descendants of ignoble looking ancestors. The light olive tint of tho woman seems to have been paint ed over a ground color of blushing lako , aud this pinkish creaminess of the skin saves it from dullness and sallowness. In a word, there is something of that traasparsoy for which painters aro always aeeking. She inherits from her mother over the sea the physical characteristics of round limbs and delicate extremities, with a figure something slighter?another effect of climate, also that sense of art with which the people are born, but can never entirely acquire. From the same source come her coquetry aud her grace of speech aud action, but modified. She docs not wear crude oolors or awry shapes; nor docs she oxpress herself with unseomly gesture or discordant toues Her dress is rather sombre than gay, and her carriage simple and conven tional?for they all waik alike.
