THE AMERICAN ART UNION.

The amateurs and cultivators ofthe arts will
he ,ratified to learn that the association above
alluded TO is in most flourishing condition. 1t
is daily growing in numerical strength and the
public favor. Its annual meeting was recently
held at the Tabernacle, in New York. Nj
merous valuable premiums were awarded to
competitors. The utility of an institution like
tbe Art Union in a country like ours, where
the fine arts are in their infancy, and have
been deprived of the liberal patronage of OIL
dor and richer nations, cannot be too highly
appreciated, in advancing artistic perfection.
1t appears, we think from the report of the
President of the society, that the number of the
subscribers have increased from 1850, in 1916,
TO- 9G6o in ls47, all of whom were competi-
ting for 40 splendid pictures, which had been
purchased and were awarded by lot. Also
tbere were distributed so Golden Medals in
comemmoration of Washington Alliston, and
$50 Bronze Medals, to engravers Why
shonld not this society have the honor of a
Secretary in Middlebury.

One WHO PATs.

LEAP YEAR, IN lS4s-The ensuing year will
give those lovely tyrants the ladies' the privilege
of making love. The gentlemen must remain in
a state of calm quiescence for at least three hun.
bred and sixty-siN days, during which time they
will not be permitted to refuse any lady who shall
make love TO them. To prove this to be the ease
and that it is notion of ours, we will quote
an extract from an old volume. published in the
year 1906, and entitled "Courtship, Love and Mat.
rmonie"
ALBEIT, it is nowe parte of the CommonLawe
in regard TO the social relations of life that as Of
ten every besextle year doth return, the ladies
have the sole privilege during the time it contin-
ucth, of making love unto the men, Which they
may doe either by wordes or lookes, as unto them
it seemeth proper; and moreover, no man will be
entitled to the beueft Of clergy who dothe refuse
to accept the offers of ladye, or who dothe in
any wise treat her proposal with slight or contu-
melv."
Long ago as the above was printed, it seems TO
have been "parte Of the commone lave" that
ladies should have the sole privilege of making
love every fourth year, and what was then binding
as common law is equally binding now, since il
has never been superseded by any statute.

the 18th inst, was exceedingly cold in that re-
