WOMAN.
No woman is free from responsi bility towards her own sex. All are to bear one another's burdens, and to share one another's sorrows. This is the true sisterhood of women-.* However widely apart in station, they re-act upon eaoh other for good or e.vil. Tim, prizes of virtue may be given to the™ humblest as well as the highest. After the late terrible war, the French Go vernment decreed three medals to women who had served the most faith fully in the hospitals. The first was given to a poor sewing girl, the second to an actress, the third to a woman of rank and fashion, whoso name has bqen often mixed np with the scandals of the empire. Who could bufc feel that the spirit of thafc noble English woman, Piorence Nightingale, had been the in spiring example of these women, so widely separated in rank, and yet all united in the work of charity." — Mrs. Henry Field.
