WOMAN, PAST AND PRESENT.
DR. LORD, in a lecture lately delivered by him in Boston, on PHILIPPA,
the mother of the BLACK PRINCE, (who was a white woman,) told about
JANE, Countess of MONTFORT, (you all know who _she_ was,) and how She
once defended a fortress and defied a phalanx with eminent success. Of
her the lecturer said,
"Clad in complete armor, she stood foremost in the breach."
She did that, did she, this JANE of old? Tut, sir! that's nothing to our
modern JANES, crowds of whom are now yearning to stand "foremost in the
breeches."

A SOROSIAN IMPROMPTU.
One of the sisters of Sorosis, at the last meeting of the club, was
delivered of the following touching "Impromptu on some beautiful
bouquets of flowers:"
"With hungry eyes we glanced adown
The table nicely spread;
Our appetites were very keen,
And not one word was said,
"Till of a sudden "Ohs!" and "Ahs!"
Gave token of delight,
As, from a magic flower-bed.
