An overbearing Temper.

Nothing shows greater abjectness of spirit
than an ovcrbearing temper appearing in per-
sons behaviour to interiors. To insult or abuse
those who dare not answer again, is as sure a
mark Of cowardice as it would be toattack with
a sword woman or a child. And where
ever you see person given TO insult his infe-
riors, you may assure yourself he will creep to
his superiors; for the same bascness of mind
will lead him to act the part Of bully to those
who cannot resist, and OF q coward to those
who can. But though servants and other de-
pendants may not have it in their power to re
tort inthe same taste, the injurious usage they
receive from their supporters, they are sure tc
be ev6Rwith them by the contempt they them
selves have for them, and the character they
spread abroad Of them through the world
Upon the whole, the proper behaviour 70 inle
riors is, to treat them with generosity and hu
mainly; but by no means with familiarity OF
one hand or insoence on the other

WOMEN CAN KEEP SECRETS.

The gallant Judge Story was compelled by
his duty as a Judge, to do painfully ungallant
act in the circuit court of Rhode Island, recent
lily. young lady Of interesting appearance
and respectable character, refused to be sworn
as witness before grand jury, in the matter
of breaking the seal of a letter. The letter was
written by young gentleman, whose address
es she had declined, and the seal breaking was
by another young man more favored She re-
fused to testify against him. Marshal Anthony,
one of the most polite men in the world, had
to bring her before Judge Story, who kindly
urged upon her to take the oath. She refused
pre(erring to go to Jail rather than injure the
man she loved, and the Judge committed her to
prison. Soon after she was liberated and
returned to her friends, the learned Judge not
being match for "Woman'S w.t." sharpened
by love.
History has immortalized the Roman matron
who went about to be put TO the torture &c

Bit her own tongue off, and spit it in the face oil
her judges. This has often been cited as the
greatest precedent of the constancy OF woman
kind in keeping secret. 1t is, however, rath
err confession against that virtue IN the sex
for it shows consciousness that the only way
to keep the secret was to get rid of the tongue

and preserved her secret and her tongue too
