Tribute to women.

--The celebrated traveler, Layard, paid the following handsome tribute to women:

"I have observed that women in all countries are civil, obliging, tender and humane. I never addressed myself to them decently and friendly without getting a friendly answer. With men it has often been otherwise. In wandering over the barrens of hospitable Denmark, and through honest Sweden and frozen Lapland, rude and churlish Finland, unprincipled Russia, and the widespread regions of the wandering Tartar; if hungry, dry, wet, cold or sick, the women have been friendly; and to add to this virtue, (so worthy the appellation of benevolence,) those actions have been performed in so free and kind a manner, that if I was dry, I drank the sweetest draught; and if hungry, ate the coarsest morsel with double relish."
