NJ Civilization is not so much the tri-
umph of religion over the human heart as
women. From the very moment men be-
gan to live in regulated society-as soon
a as goodness and persuasion replaces the vi
olence of barbarism-a new wish makes its
appearance r in 'society-a wish to under
stand and appreciate woman. Uncouth
manners are abandoned for standing col
lars and poetry, while passion for flutes
and moonlight evenings supercedes cowhide
shirts and sheepskin combinations. As
smithers very Justly observes, who can
look dimity in the face without, exclaiming

A PHYSIOLOGICAL FAcr.-A surgeon in
the U. S. Army, recently desired to know
the most common cause of enlistments.-
By permission Of the Captain of the COM
pany, containing fifty five, in pledge
never to disclose the name of any officer or
private, except in a physical or metaphys-
ical fact, the true history was obtained of
every man. On investigation, it appeared
that nine tenths enlisted on account OF
some female difficulty; thirteen Of them had
changed their names. and forty-three we're
either drunk, or partially SO, at the time Of
their enlistment. > Most Of these were men
Of fine talents and learning, and abouto one
third had once been men in elevated sta.
tions in life. Four had been lawye
three doctors, and two ministers. The ex.
perimenter believes, if it were not for his
pledge of secrecy, that this would be as
interesting a history, and would exhibit the
frailty of human nature as fully as any ex'
perimerts ever made on the subject Of the
Passions.-Pitts. Post r

nauseous taste of this strange fruit. We
