The entrance to a Woman's life

--There is a touching beauty in the radiant took of a girl just crossing the limits of youth and commencing her journey through the checkered space of womanhood. It is all dew-sparks and morning-glory to her radiant, buoyant spirit, as she presses forward exulting in blissful anticipations. But the withering beat of the conflict of life creeps on; the dew-drop exhale; the garlands of hope, shattered and dead, strew the path; and too often, are noontide, the brow and sweet smile are exchanged for the weary took of one longing for the evening rest, that twilight, the night.
