Excerpt from Speculation, Vol. 2 of 2: A Novel Man's love is of man's life a thing apart. 'tis woman's whole existence. To him it is the plaything of joy and youth; hut hers is a deeper, a more enduring love; it is the so lace of days of sorrow, of age, and of bonelessness like the parasite which clings around the tottering column, it lends a beauty even to min, and delays the utter devastation which it helps so gracefully to hide. Sever the ivy at the root, and its branches will still cling, and germ, and flourish; meet type, even in this, of the love of woman-rob her ofhome, of country, of all which once made the charm of her existence, and while one bond yet links her to the object of her young affection, she will live on faith fully and fondly to the last.
