REASON FOR ACCEPTING THE FIRST OFFER-Every
young lady is taught consider marriage the great
and ultimate end of her life. 1t is that to which she
looks forward for happiness and in which she hopes
rival or excel her associates and he first to be
married in family, or court, is matter of no small
consideration. These circumstances plead eoquently
IN favor OF the first lover who makes the dear proposal
The female heart is naturally kind and generous it
feels its weakness, and its inability TO encounter
singly the and troubles ct life and short that
it lean upon another in order enjoy the delights
congena to its natural feelings and the emanaon
Of those tender affections in the exercise of which, the
enjoymcnts of the female rsind chiefly consist 1t is
thus that the hearts of many young women become by
degrees, irrevocaby fixed on those whom they
formerly regard with the utmost Indifference if
not with contempt merely from latent principle of
generosity existing in the original frame of their
principle which is absolutely necessary towards the
proper balancing of our respective rights and pleasures
well as the regulation of the conduct of either to
the other.-James Hogg.
FEMALE observation-disclosures, either from afec-
aon or by nsllnct when not epeaking Of or to their
husbands, employ the most delicate and lady like
expressions. The French women, for instance call
their favorite chour "my cabbage" while the
English sometimes (beng probably Of Cowsip's opiR-
ion lament the same'') den0minate the happy man
"my duck" To employ the word "dog" in such a
case would be deemed too carnvorous besides, in the
higher ranks Of life, all ladies' reference eating and
drinking is voted coarse; but "pretty fellow" a
"dear creature" METRE ren or, as we should say,
"goes for nothing" In the same spirit the ladies
sometimes substitute these epithets for the word
dog In Its evil sense -creature and feer, but alb
soutely or without adjunct, being any thing but a
mark of goodwill. The phrases "good fellow"
pheasant fellow" occur, il is true, and again, in
ale discourse but they fall short ofha fulness and
perft ction of intention which is conveyed by "joy
dog" "comcal dog &C.; whereas, in a female
mouth Charming fellow is altogether transcenden-
tai, and implies the real delight of man, regular
ladyker. Curious and instructive is the study Of
language-opening, it does the only path to philo
sophcal knowledge of the workings Of mind and the
essential differences Of things.-Neao Monthly Maya
