Short Patent sermon.
BY DOW, JR.

my hearers, II woman be hckle ana /
changeable, the men are more so; or at any !
rate, their changes are more marked and
conspicuous. Woman is changing all the
while-just enough to render her company
agreeable; aud if, with her sweets we are
made to partake Of the acid and bitter, she
is no less sweet on that account. As she
is to-day, SO she will be found tomorrow,
the same mixture Of sugar, spice and lemon
juice, but sometimes differently proportion.
ed. But MANI you don't know how to take
him. To-day he is all sweetness, tomorrow
all bitterness and the next day an insipidity,
nothing but slOth, or greasy dish water.
My dear females-be careful how you
trust those deceitful creatures called men.
Too many of them have their hearts in their
pockets. Avarice eats big holes in their
affection, and their love is but brushwood
blaze of passion that burns brightly upon
the altar of Hymen; but, soon after, ends
in smoke and ashes. When they get down
on their marrow bones before you; clasp
their hands in IapturOus agony; mingle tears
with their smiles; put their paws upon their
hearts; swear that their whole souls are on
ERE for your sakes; that, without you, heaven
itself were hell, and hell itself OF no conse>
lquence; ahd VOW eternal conslaucy-cOnsid-
er well before you trust them: for as my text
intimates, what they like at noon they may
despise befOle morning. You must know
them long while before hand-read them
Gf they be worth reading) as you would a
7 book; and then il you think it worth while
to trust them with your budgets Of hope and
r happiness, let them have 'em.
!, My dearly beloved feminines-men are
deceilful beings. Beware Of those who are
= lavish in love, but parsimonious in promise.
r, They are those who go about tasting but
}. never think of making purchase. Beware
Of them say! They ale gormandizers upon
Is fresh virtue; and when hard up, will feed
,r upon the very offals Of innocence. They
y are fine to look upon, and will answer fo
'r an-hour; but if you depend upon their bland
r. ishments, you lean upon a broken staff
They will SO suck your sweets that you vii
Pr have none left for future husband. The,
Is will pluck every blossom from the bush o
IT, beauty and afterwards turn up their nose
- at the unsightly tree.
