FAT MEN.

From the Lectures Of Rev. Henry
Giles, now going through the press Of
Messrs. Ticknor, Reed s Fields.
There is something cordial in fat
man. Every body likes him, and he
likes every body Your Ishmaelites are,
in truth, a -boned race: a lank
tribe are they--all skeleton and bile.
Food does a fat man good; it clings to
him; he swells bly, out, and fills
generous space in life. He is living,
walking specimen Of gratitude to the
bounty Of the earth, and the fullness
thereof; an incarnate testimony against
the vanity Of care; radiant maniesta-
ton Of the wisdom of good humor. A
fat man, therefore, almost in virtue of
being fat man, is, per Sc, a popular
man; and commonly he deserves his
popularity. In crowded vehicle the
fattest man will ever be the first TO make
room. Indeed. he seems half sorry for
his size. lest i be in the way Of others:
but others would not have him lesss than
he is, for his humanity is usually COM
mensurate with his bulk. A fat man
has abundance of rich juices. The
hinges of his system are well oiled; the
springs Of his being are noiseiess; and
so he goes his way rejoicing, in full con-
,entment and placidity. A fat
man feels his position solid in the world ,
he knows his being is cognizable; he
knows he has a marked place in the Uni
verse, and that he need take 10 extra
ordinary pains to advertise mankind
that he is among them; he knows thar
he is in no danger Of being overlooked.
W. .L:- -~-- - -,~o-,-;- or< .h~--
Your ,n.u man IS uncertain, bho theiv-
fore he is uneasy. He may inish any
hour into nothing; already ne IS al

That he is actually something; that he Is
more than a non-en,ity; that he is

"Woman's Rights"

Your female lecturers, she editors
and lady doctors, or doctoresses, .re
constantly agitating the public mlhu :,
about what they call "woman's rights. :,
At least once a week We see advertised
something new On this momentous SUD
ject. Let US imagine, for a moment
that all woman's rights were granted
that the solecism of equality between
the sexes in all its extent were duly en-
acted, and that the loving, trusting, con-
fding nature of woman was raised INTO
indie pendent emulation and antagonism'
In that case we fear her most attractive
virtues and winning attributes would be
incompatible with the exercise OF her
rights - From being a pet, wouie
she not degenerate into bore IN, n,
stead of the loving dependent, wouic
she not become the rival? We fear, IN
deed, such would be the result. Ao
sorbed in the higher matters Of science
and philosophy. aspiring to the dignity
Of public instructors, preachers, iectur
ers. doctors, and what not, woma'
would be too awful to be loved-to'

enough to propose inatrimony to fe-
male judge-:to make love TO the chair

pop the question" to hendemagogue
OR speak of the tender passion to q

would be burned in effigy, his business
on earth would soon be over, and Hy-
men be compelled TO study law, as an
essential to the consummation of the

pray for preservation.--The mischief

How FAR IS IT 70 HELL.-A writer
in the Evangelist relates the following
impressive anecdote:-"As an illustra-
tion Of the nearness Of hell, will relate
an occurrence which happened in less
than twenty-five miles of this place,
some years since. An ungodly, pro-
fame wretch, who resided in Stanwich
Society, in the town Of Greenwich, CT
went across the State line into New
York to an acquaintance. Some CLANS
were lying there which he proposed to
roast. Just at this time cloud arose
heavily charged with electricity. While
he was engaged roasting the clans, the
rain came down the chimney in such
quantities, as nearly to extinguish the
fire, and Illustrate the wicked mans op-
oes.,- -he lrr'tnted AZ his own disa ono;r.,
will roast the clans If | have to go to
hell after fire." Just at that instant, as
be sat by the fireplace with the tongs
IN his hand, q thunderbolt came down
the chimney, and struck him dead Oh
the spot. He doubtless found TO his
cost, that twas very short distance be-
tween the house and hell. The above
were related to me by a
good deacon, who knew the man. and
saw the procession pass, when the corpse
was nken home.
