1.-THE extent to which the Curtain Lee
lures, of Mrs. Caudle have been reprinted
in America, from the London Punch, is
truly astonishing. Probably no series Of
papers was ever honored with so wide q
circulation. Although not insensible to
the happy and effective style Of those writ
ten by Mr.. Blanchard, we are constrained
TO regard them, as they are now continued,
in the light of the grossest libels upon the
sex that ever met our eye. They are
torrent Of vilificaton.
A LADY, at our earnest solicitation,
has taken her pen in defence OF her sex.
But how shall she gain a hearing? Is IL
likely that married Editors who have
chuckled SO delightedly over Blanchard's
sketches Of feminine infrmities, can readi-
ygive admission toSscenes that may per.
haps awaken some painful "reminiscences?
Let our appeal then lie to the Bachelors
of the Press, to see that justice be done to
Woman. -
MR.. CAUDLE'S MORNING LECTURES.
Mr.. Caudle's marital suapity is disturbed
By a disappointment encountered at his
Toilet.
Mrs. Caudle, | hope it will be con-
venient for me to get one of my new shirts
this morning2 Not finished! ] am sure
it has been three weeks since brought
home the linen; but some ladies have such
want Of system that there is no calcuat-
ing when thing may be done by them.
Sick? Yes, know it, and there is Doc
tors fee, which would have paid for the
making Of the whole set. II is wonderful
how soon wife learns to waste her hus-
bands money. A rule with my mother,
the best manager in the world-was
never to send for a Physician only in the
most urgent cases. You did not wish his
attendance; Mrs. Fry would send for him?
Another weak point with the sex.-going
by the advice Of every silly gossip. Poor
Fry has time Of it! saw him The 9TH
er day with his collar string hanging out
Il suppose his careful wife has not had
time to attend to his linen. Mrs. Fry was
making shirts here for Mr.. Fry? All!
there's the secret: gadding about; sending
Tor Physicians; taking care Of her neigh
boris business, and her husband sneaking
about the streets with his strings broken or
united. Afraid you win be blamed for
