STORMY WoMEN.-What Is more dis
agreeable thap'a stormy womanF A
friend of ours, who lives in Pearl street,
SAYS that be has been OIL the unfathomed
deep when the heavens, pregnant with
the direst vengeance, were delivered of
their children of wrath-when mighty
Jove rode his laundering chariot over the
mountains of the sea, and the red light
nings gared at his courser's feet-when
the demons of the tempest beloved in
the blast, and the the angel of destruction
spread its dark pinions over the mariners
bark; but all these unutterable horrors
didn't begin with his wife when out of
temper. When she saw the mercury of
her husbands anger begin to rise, she d
throw fat into the fire, and in two minutes
be further up the ladder of wrath than
he could ever climb without taking off
his boots; and the way he would catch
hot dumplings on the head was not slow.
Some women love TO scold. and enjoy
themselves best when i'll violent passion,
and they are as unlovely as Holsters, and
as distasteful as stale mushrooms. We'd
rather encounter a wild cat in the forest
than petticoated demon in anger.

A Kiss FOR BLow-George, in a
moment of passion. struck his sister in the
face, but the sister, instead of flying into
a fit of anger, threw her arms around his
neck and kissed him, saying. Oh, brother,
how could you do so!''
The poor boy was wholly unprepared
for such kind return for his blow. He
could not stand before the generous affec-
ton of his sister His feelings were
touched, and he burst out crying.
His gentle sister took the corner Of
her apron and wiped away the tears and
sought to comfort him by saying. with
endearipg sweetness and generous affec-
ton, Don't cry, George, you did not hurt
me much" But ne only wept the more
No wonder, it was enough to make any
body weep.
But why did George weep? Poor little
fellow. Would he have wept if his
sister had struck him as he had struck
her? Not he. But, by kissing him as
she did, she made him feel more acutely
than if she had beaten him black and
blue.
Here was kiss for blow, love for
anger, and this is what is meant by over
coming evil with good.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script, points out many advantages, CON-
forts and luxuries the ladies will enjoy
when they adopt the Blooner costume of
short dresses and troWsers. Among
others. is the fact that they can perch
their feet about on high-back chairs, rail
ings, mantle-pieces and window sills
without hindrance-in short. they can
sprawl their pedal extremites about pro-
nlicionsly, miscellaneously, masculinely
and generally. There is evidently a
good time coming for the ladies.
