FRIDAY, MAY u.

o. In ard to our article, a few days
ago, on Woman, where We asked the ques-
zion who ever heard Of LADY in the times
Of which the Bible treats, some one has
referred us to the first verse Of the second
Epistle Of John, which reads as follows
The elder unto the elec. lady and her chill
dren, whom | love in the truth; and not
! only, but also all they that have known
the truth" sc. We were aware of The ey-
preston in this verse, and also its repetition
in the fifth verse, when we wrote the arli-
Gle now in question. Whether a woman or
a particular church was here referred to
by the Apostle, is a matter of grea, doubt
Adam Clarke thus speaks of the expression
in his Commentaries -" AS Kuria, Kyria,
may be the feminine of Kurios, Kyios, lord,
therefore it may signify lady; and so seve-
raj, both anciens and moderns, have under
stood it. Bul others have considered il tie
proper name of woman, Kyrid, and that
this is very ancient opinion, Is evident
from the Peshito Syriac, the Oldest version
we have, which uses il as a proper name
Kaureed, as dc es also tn" Arabic koorea. y
DR.. Clarke concludes thus am salts
fed tha, no metaphor is here intende (; that
the epistle was sent to some cmlnen, Chris
tan matron, not far from Ephrsus; who
was probably dedeoness of the church who,
j, is likely had church at her house; ; or
at whose house the apostles, and travelling
evangel lists, frequeh,ly preached and were
entertained"
1t is by no means certain then, in the first
place, that the APOSTLE addressed this Epis,
,lo 10 a fema'e hut, il he did, i, is most
probable that the Greek word K,rid, which
has been translated hddy, was her proper
name. Al all events, be these matters as
they may, W. are very certain tha, the
Apostle John never SO far disgraced his
mission, and brought III cause Of his mas
ter so low, us to address an Epis,'e to scch
a lady as may he found in a fashionable
ballroom, or in fashionable society any
where, at the present day. Had he been
guilty Of such business, We s!,0u'd have hut
little faith in anything which he said or did.
John was too good man 10 labor under
any such pitiabe iLfirmi,y.

The LADIES Man. There are certain
animals, disguised as men, to be found in
every community, known by the name Of
4" ladies' men," The creatures are not
aware Of the degradation Of their position,
but seem on the contrary to be rather proud
OF il. A ladies' man, as the name would
imply, is not possessed Of a particle Of that
chivalrous ealantry which springs from
true respect from the other sex. He has
no lofty moral sentiment towards woman as
such. He views her only as the doll TO
please, and her the dolly 10 please her
lie frilters away his existence in atten-
tons which would lie graceful in poodle,
but which would be disgraceful in puppy
claiming higher and better breed. His
aspiring ambition is satisfied with picking
up dropt h ndkerchiefs, OF mlslaid fans,
and the desires of his sinted soul are all
accomplished when he is made a conven-
lent escort 10 church, the theatre, or ball
room. His personal appearance is gener-
ally elIeminatc, and but for the tailor might
lation to his gel der Even if he were ca
pable, the ladies man never talks serious
ly with woman. See him when or where
you will he wears tina same eternal simper
on is face. He appears TO think that
woman can appreciate nothing but the
poor coinage of brain, innocent of ever
having been oppressed with an idea. The
fool but little dreams that in the estimation
of every sensible woman whom he has en-
deavorhd to entertain with his senseess
twaddle and unmanIy foolery, he is the
most insignificant of men that he has no
more hold upon her heart than the las,
monkey which danced to the organ before
her window. A woman, who is worth
sous, for a wife, who understands the obi
cations of her life, aud is determined to
discharge them, would 20 more think of
joining hands with such thing, than she
would live on the scent Of rose. or mend
her husbands stocking " The lay Of the
last Minstrel"
How a ladies' man ever finds woman
to marry is one of those profound mysteries
which peGplexes Us exceedingly. We can
net Imagine the sort of woman VINO would
with eyes and ears open, venture down the
stream of time with such a miserably wea
and shallow barque. Homeopathic soup is
rich compared to the intellectual food the
man.

THE WASHINGTON NATIONAL MoNu-
nENT.-The Board Of Managers of the
Monument, some time since, resolved to in
vite The school children throughout the
United States to make special contributions,
10 assist in its erection. 1t is estimated that
there are some three millions of pupils of
all ages, in this country, and the contrlbu-
ton of small sum by each would alone,
soon complete the magnificent structure
In pursuance of this plan, the Board ap
pointed Mr. Geo. |. Walcott, as agent, TO
superintend The collections in The New Eng
land States. The following system has
been adopted in relation to the contribution
of certain sums.
A large and elegantly bound book is pro-
yided, in which the nane and residence of
each child who contributes ten cents is re-
corded. This book, when Fl led with names,
will be deposited in the Monument, where
i, will be carefully preserved, and be open
to the inspection Of visitors.
Each contributor of fifty cents will have
his name recorded in this book, and will
also, on the payment of his contribution,
receive fine steel engraving Of the design
Of the Monument.
The contributions are to be entirely VOL
un,ary, however. and as it is desired that
every child should give something to rear
this great National structure, contributors
of the smallest amount will be received.
Mr.. Walco,,, the agent, is now in this
town, and expects to bring this subject be-
fore the various schools. We trust he will
receive the ready cooperation of teachers,
parents, &c, and hope the contributions
from our Newport boys and girls will not
be found less, in proportion, than those from
the children of any other city in New Eng
land.

LIZ There is good deal Of complaining,
and with just cause, we think, about town,
in regard to the comparatively light sentence
which Judge Staples passed upon Brown,
the thief, who was convicted in the Court
Of Common Pleas, thi. week. The fellow
is a notorious thief, and his robberies were
Of bold and high-handed character he
obtained quite number Of valuable articles,
none Of which were recovered, and there
was not pslliaIing circumstance in his
case in addition TO all this, the fellow
manifested anything but penitence, his
general manner in Court was most insolent,
and IN the midst Of one Of the trials he had
the cool impudencc to tell one Of the wit
nesses on the stand, very respectable and
worthy man. that he was a liar; after his
sentence was pronounced, he placed his cap
on his lead, while standing in Court. and
in every possible manner gave evidence of
hardened villainy. When such scoun-
drel is detected, and his guilt is 30 clearly
proved, il is the imperative duty Of Courts
to punish them in such manner as shall
protect communities, and teach these plum
dering ra seals that they cannot commit their
depredations with impnnity. Five years,
the exten, Of the law, would have been none
too much for this fellow he is highly de-
lighted TO think that he has escaped with
only two years in the States Prison.
Since the above was in type, Judge Sta
pies stated, yesterday afternoon, in passing
sentence upon Edmands, that had he krown
as much in regard to Brown before passing
sentence as he has slhce learned, he should
have given him a severcr sentence. We
sincerely wish he nigh, have possessed the
