Collectanea.
WOMAN . — " From the piety , gentleness , and forbearance of women , spring most of the Christian virtues that adorn society ; and from the tenderness and compassion stamped on their hearts , arise the greatest number of those benevolent deeds that form the chief blessings of life . From these divine virtues spring the tender nurse in sickness ; the " ministering angel" in affliction ; the friend of the suffering poor ; the protrectress of the helpless orphan . Oh ! let the human heart
expand with gratitude to the Supreme Giver of all good , that such balms to earthly sorrows are given , in the endearing ties of wife , mother , sister , and daughter ; and let each of these important relatives receive and use the gift of a tender and compassionate heart , as a precious deposit for the benefit of her fellow-creatures . Her feelings were given her as incentives to her various duties , and they must no more be wasted on useless objects than her fortune , her time , or her talents .
THE TRUE STIMULUS . — " Narrow circumstances are the most powerful stimulants to mental expansion ; and the earl y frowns of fortune the best security for her final smiles . " " IT is no part of wisdom to neglect doing anything because the best thing cannot be accomplished . " EVERY one is a very good lesson to himself , provided he be capable
of looking narrowly into himself . —Pliny . THE wise and active conquer difficulties by daring to attempt them ; sloth and foll y shiver and shrink at sight of toil and hazard , and make the impossibility they fear . —Rowe . LOVE AND INSTRUCTION . —Children need love more than instruction , and use and example alone can give it them . —Richter .

NEW MASONIC MAGISTRATE . —The Town Council and leading inhabitants of Kidderminster have unanimously memorialized the Lord Chancellor , recommending Bro . Dr . Roden , the present Mayor , to be added to the Commission of the Peace for that borough . We are pleased to learn that his lordship immediatel y complied with the prayer of the memorial , doing Bro .

Bro . Roden has for some years been an indefatigable supporter of the Craft in Worcestershire ; and , up to the present month , held the office of Deputy Grand Master of that province .
