For musing on myself at most, I gave up hope and deemed me lost; When suddenly I hoard the cry "Eloi, lama.'sabaehthanil"' UT Startled. I turned minc eyes to see, When lo! on shrouded Cal vary,'" , .

He cried ana turned td Hoav'n' his eye, "Eloi, lama, aabaohtkani!" I heard-then gathered in its might, A whirlwind o'er my soul that night; But hope returned, and then at last, The whirlwind in its might had past, And o'er me roso a heav'nly calm, For I bad found the healing balm; And now I liv?, by Christ's death cry- | "Eloi, lama, sabaohthanil" CONCERNING WIDOivS. There are widows and widows, sarcasti cally remarks the Saturday Beriete. There | are those who are bereaved, and those who are released; those who lose their sapport, j and those whose, chains are broken; those j wno are sunk in desolation, nnd those who wake np into freedom. Of the first we will net speak. Theirs'is .a sorrow too sacred to be publioly handled, oven with sympathy; bnt the second demands no snoh respectful reticence. The widow who is no sooner re? leased from one husband than she plots for another, and the widow who leaps into liber? ty over the grave of a gaoler, not a lover, are fair game enough. They have always been favorite subjects for authors to exorcise their wits on;, and while men are what they are-laughing animals, apt to see the humor lying in incongruity, and with a spice of the devil to sharpen that same laughter into satire-they will remain favorite subjects, tragic as the state is when . widowhood is deeper than mere outward condition. There are manx varieties of the widow, and all are not beautiful. For ono, there is the widow who','is .bent on re-marrying, whether men like it or not-that thing of prey who goes about the world seeking whom she maj. devour; that awful creature who bears down on her victims with a vigor in her assaults that puts to flight the popu? lar fancy about the weaker sex and the dis? tribution of power. No hawk, poised over a brood of hedge birds; no shark, cruising steadily towards a shoal of small fry; no pi? ratical craft, sailing under a free flag and accountable to no law save success, was ever more formidable to the weaker things pur? sued, than is the hawk widow bent on re? marrying. She knows so much; there is not a manoeuvre by which a victory oan bo stolen that she has not mastered, and she is not afraid of even the most desperate mea? sures. When she has once struck, he would be a clever man and a bold one who could escape her. Generally left but meagrely provided for in worldly goods-else her game would not. bo so difficult-she makes up for her poverty here by her wealth of bold resources, and by tho courage with which she takes her own fortunes in hand, and, with her own, those of ?her more eligi? ble masculine associates. Sho is a woman ; of purpose, and lives for an end; and that j end is re-marriage. If fate has dealt hardly ! by her-though, may bo, compassionately by her successive spouses-and has landed her in the widowed state twice or thrice, she is nowise daunted, and as little abashed. She merely refits after a certain time of an? chorage, and goes out into the open again for a repetition of her chance. She has no notion of a perpetuity of weeds, and, though she may have cleared her half century, with a margin besides, thinks the suggestive i orange-blossoms of the bride infinitely f more desirable than the fruitless heliotrope of the widow. If one husband is taken, she remembers tho old proverb, and reflects on the many, quite as good, who nre poten? tially left subject to her ohoico. And some? how she manages. It has been said that any woman can marry any man if she de? termines to do se? and follows on the line of her determination with tenacity and common sense. The hawk widow exempli? fies the truth of this saying. She determines upon marriage, and she usually succeeds; the question being one of victim only, not of sacrifice. One has to fall to her share; there is no help for.it; and the whole con? test is, which Bhall it be? which is strong? est to break her bonds? which craftiest to slip out of them? which most resolute, not to bear them from the beginning? This the straggling covey must settle among themselves the best way they can. When the hawk pounces down upon its quar? ry, it is sauve qui peid! But all cannot be saved. One has to be caught, nnd the choice is determined partly by chance, and partly by relative strength. When the widow of experience and resolve bears down upon her prey, the result is equal? ly certain. Floundering avails nothing; struggling and splashing are justas futile; one among the crowd has to come to the slaughter, and to assist at his own immola? tion. The best thing he can do is to make a handsome surrender, and to let the world of men and brothers believe ho rather likes his position than not. But there.are pleasanter typos of tho re? marrying widow than this. There is the widow of the Wildman kind, who has out? lived her grief and is not disciplined to a repetition of the matrimonial experiment, if asked thereto .by ,an. experimenter after her own heart. But in a. pretty, tender, womanly way; if not quite so timidly as a girl, vet as a becomingly in her degree, and with that peculiar fascination which nothing but the combination of exp?rience and mo? desty can give. The widow of the Wadman kind is no creature of prey, neither shark nor hawk; at tho worst she is but a cooing dove; making just the sweetest little noise in tho world, the tenderest little call, to in? dicate her whereabouts, and to show that she is lonely and feels it. She sits close, waiting to be found, and does not ramp and dash about liku tho hawk sisterhood ; neither do?? she pretend that she is unwilling to bo found, still less deny that a soft warm nest, well lined and snugly sheltered, is better than ^'.lonely branch, stretching out com? fortless and bare into tho bleak wide world. She, too, is almost sore to get what sho watits, with the advantage of being volun? tarily chosen andhotunwilliugly submitted to. This is tho kind of woman who is always mildly but thoroughly- happy.in her married life; unless indeea*her husband should bo a brute, which Heaven forefend. She lives in peaco and bland contentment while tbe fates permit, and when he dies she buries him decently ami laments him deco? rously; but she thinks it folly to spend her life ia wocpiug by the sido of his cold grave, when her tears cnn do no good to either of them. Rather she thinks it a proof of her love for him, aud the evidence of how trne i was ber happiness, that she should elect to j give him a successor. Her blessed expe- j rieuce in th? past has made her trustful in the future; and because she has fouud oue I mini faithful she thinks that all are Abdiels. As a rule, this type of woman does find men i plcasnut, and by her own nature insures j domestic happiness. She is always tenderly, I and never passionately, in love, even with tho husband shu lins loved the best; she gives in to no excesses to the right or the left; her temperament is of that serene moon-light kind which docs not fatigue others nor wear out its possessor; without ambition, or the power to ding herself into any absorbing occupation, she lives only to please and be plea,- 1 at home; and if she is nota wife, wearing "uer light fetters loving? ly, and proud that ie is fettered, she is nothing. As some women are born mothers and others aro born nuns, so is the Wndman woman a born wife, and shines in no other character or capacity. But in this she ex? cels; and knowing this, she sticks to her role, how frequently soever the interlocutor may be changed. There are widows, however, who have no thought or desire for remaining anything but widows-wLo have gained the worth of tho world in their condition. "Jeune, riche, ct xeuve-quel bonheur.'" says the French wife, eyeing inon mart askance. Can the most exacting woman ask for more? And truly such a one is in the most enviable po? sition possibly to a woman, supposing al? ways that she has not lost in her husband thc man she loved. If sho has lost only the mau who sat by right at the same hearth with herself-perhaps the mau who quarrel? ed with her across the ashes-sho has lost her burden, and has gained her release. The cross of matrimony lies heavy on many a woman who never takes the world into 1 her confidence, and who bears in absolute j silence what she hns not the power to cast j from her. Perhaps her husband has been \ a man of note, a man of learning, of ele? vated station, a political or philanthropic power. She alono knew tho fretfulness, the petty tyranny, thc miserable smallness at home of the man of large repute, whom his j generation conspired to honor, and whose j public life was a mark for the future to dato by. "When he died, tho press wrote his eu? logy and his elegy; but his widow, when sho put on her weeds, sang softly in her own heart a ptean to tho great Kiug of i Freedom, and whispered to herself Lauda mus, with a sigh ol' unutterable relict. To ! such a woman widowhood lins no senti- j mental regrets. She has come into posses- ; sion of the goods for which, perhaps, she sold herself; she is young enough yet to en? joy, to project a future; she hus the freo choice of a maid, and the free action of a matron, as no other woman has. She maj' be courted, and she need not bo chaperoned nor yet forced to accept. Experience has I mellowed and enriched her; for though the ! asperities of her former condition were j sharp while they lasted, they had not time ? permanently to roughen or embitter her. ' Tuen the senso of relief gladdens, while the I sense of propriety subdues her; and the deli- ? cate mixture of outside melancholy, tem? pered with internal warmth, is wonderfully enticiug. Few men know how to resist that gentle sadness which does not preclude ? the sweetest sympathy with pleasure in winch she may not join-with happiness whioh is, alas! denied ber. It gives an air ! of such profound unselfishness; it asks so I mutely, so bewitchingly, for consolation, j ! Even ti hard man is moved at the sight of a j pretty widow in the funeral black of her j first grief, sitting apart with a patient smile, j anil eyes cast meekly down, as one not of the world though in it. Her loss is too re- j cent to admit of auy thought of reparation; ? und yet what man does not think of that | time of reparation? and if she is more than I ; usually charming in person, and well dow? ered in purse, what man does not think of < himself as the best repairer she could take? i 1 Then, as time goes on, and she glides grace- | ' fully into the era of mitigated grief, how beautiful is her whole manner, how tasteful her attire! The most exquisite colors of the rampant kind look garish beside her dainty tints, and the untempered mirth of happy girls is coarse beside her faint subdued ad mission of moral sunshine. G roys as ton der as a dove's breast; regal purples which have a glow behind their gloom; stately silks of sombre black, softly veiled by clouds of gauzy white -nil speak of passing time, and the gradual blooming of the spring after the sadness of the winter; all symbolize tho flowers which are growing ever on the sod that covers tho dear depart? ed; all hint at tho melting of tho funeral gloom into a possible bridal. Sb? begins, too, to take pleasure in the old familiar things of life. She steals into a quiet back seat at the opera; she just walks through a quadrille; she sees nb harm in a fete or flower show, if properly companioned. Winter does not last forever, and a life? long mourning is a wearisome prospect, so she goos through her degrees in accurate order, and comes out at tho end radiant. For when the faint shadows cast by the era of mitigated grief fade away, she is the widow par excellence-the blooming widow, ' young, rieb, gay and free; with the world on her side, her fortune iu her hand, and tho hall at her foot. She ie the freest wo? man alive; freer even than any old maid to be found. Freedom, indeed, comes to the old maid when too late to enjoy it; at least in certain directions: for while she is yoong, she is necessarily in bondage, and when pa? rents and guardians leave her at liberty, tho world and Mrs. Grundy take up the reins, and hold them pretty tight. But the widow is os thoroughly emancipated from the con? ventional bonds which confine the free action of a maid as she is from those which fetter the wife; and only she herself knows what she lins lost and gained. She bore her yoke well while it pressed on her. It galled her, but she did not wince; only when it was removed did she become fully conscious how great had been the burden, from her seuso of infinite relief. Tho world never knew that she had passed under tho harrow; probably it wonders nt her cheerfulness, with the dear departed scarce two years dead ; and som o say how sweetly resigned she is, and others how unfeeling. She is neither, she is simply free after having lived in bond? age, and she is glad in consequence. But she is dangerous. lu fact, she is tho most dan? gerous of all women to men's peace of mind. She does not want to marry again does not mean to marry again for many years to come, if ever; granted; but that does not say that she is indifferent to ad? miration or careless of men's society. And being without serious intentions herself, she does not reflect that she may possibly mislead and deceive others who have no such cause as she has for bewaring of the pleasant folly. In the exercise of her pre? rogative as a free woman, able to cultivate the dearest friendships with men, and fear? lessly using her power, she entangles many a poor fellow's heart which she never wished to engage more than platonically, and crushes hopes which she had not the slight? est intention to raise. Why cannot men bo her friends? she asks, with a pretty, plead? ing look-a tender kind of despair at the wrong-headedness of the stronger sex. But, tender as she is, she does not easily yield even when she loves. The freedom she has gone through so much to gain, she does not rashly throw away; and if ever the day comes when she gives it up into tho keeping of another-and for all her protesta? tions it comes sometimes-the man to whom she succumbs may congratulate himself on a victory moro flattering to his vanity, and moro completo in its surrender of advan? tages, than he could have gained over any other woman. Belie or heiress, of higher rank or of greater fame than himself, no unmarried woman conk! have made such a sacrifice in her marriage ns did this widow of means and good looks, when she laid her freedom, her joyous present, and a poten? tial future, iu his hand. He will be lucky if ho manages so well that he is never re? proached for that sacrifice-if his wife never looks back regretfully to the time vvhen sho was a widow, and if thero are no longing glances forward to tho possibilities ahead, mingled with sighs at tho difficulty of retracing a step when fairly made. On the whole, ii a woman can live without love, or with nothing stronger than a tender sentimental friendship, widowhood is the most blissful stat" she. can attain. But if she is of a loving nature, and fond of home, finding her own happiness in the happiness of others, and indiff?rent to freedom thinking, indeed, feminine freedom only auother word for desolation-she will bc miserable until she has doubled her expe? rience, and carried on the old into tho new.
