LOVING AND LIKING.-That women were "born
to love- is as certain that Gen. Jackson was
'born to command, or that everybody was '.born
to die Their very dialect shows the strength of
this proclvity. They use the word to indicate any
sort of affection, passion, penchant, appetite, or
fancy They Glove" their lovers and their
husbands, fine dresses and fine dinners, sweetmeats
and "sweet RIBBON with apparently the same
sort and same measure of affection. TO ''like'' is
too tame an expression for lady's choice. She
cloves" everything THAT she doesn't happen to
hate) and can find no other word in the dictiona-
ny that is equal to her need. That this everlasting
and indiscriminate use of the highest and hottest
word in the language is improper and even inde-
cent, there can be no ground Tor debate go,

day at the table-a lady who merely meant to say
that she liked the vegetable in question. 1.-The
