Editor's note: The Authoress begs to add an illustrative passage from one of her most favourite, though anitquated, writers, Owen Felltham. This quaint, but exquisitely moral and deeply philosophical, author, says:- "In prosperity, who will not profess to love a man? In adversity, how few will show that they do indeed! When we are happy, in the springtide of abundance, and the rising flood of plenty, the world will be our servant: then, all men flock about us, with bare heads and bended bodies, and protesting tongues. But when these pleasing waters fall to ebbing; when wealth but shifts to another hand: then, men look upon us at a distance, and stiffen themselves as if they were in armour, lest (if they should come nigh us) they should get a wound in the cloze." - Felltham's "Resolves, Divine, Moral, and Political."
