" His Character is that of a WO-
man.

Fanny Fearn of the Olive Branch, thus
shakes Mr.. Starhr by the ears, for remar-
king lightly of women. She says:
Look here, Mr. Norris, I want some
body to hold me! I've just been reading
an extract from Blackwood, by, German
Professor by the name of Stair, in which,
after commenting most severely upon the
character of Louis Napoleon, he compress
es the pith of the matter into this nutshell.
"But no reliance can be placed on him.
In word his character is that of wo-
man " What do you mean by that you
old German curmudgeon? Amt women
the quitest, patientest, loyingest animimals
in existence, when they get all they want?
Did you ever see woman snarly when
her purse was properly supplied and she
had gowns enough in her wardrobe p
Their tempers are angelic if they're only
managed right. If you will brush cats
back the wrong way you must expect to
get scratched. Women always know what
they want, and that's more than half the
men do, and they want it when they ask
for it, too, without any hem's has or ifs
or butts. Amt they full fun, and smiles
and capers before they're married? and
what do they look like afterwards, with
their long faces, swollen eyey, and calico
morning gowns? crawling around the house
like dyspepeptic caterpillars. When
they've been worshipped like divinity
for six months, or more, you expect them
to hop right off their pedestal after matri-
mony, and crouch down at your feet like
whipped spaniel, who dare not even
growl to himself when his ears get cufed
Il" Character that of woman" hump =
As to Louis Napoleon he isn't a man to
my taste nor you either? Did you ever
see man that had half the fortitude of
woman? Ask the doctors about that, if
you catch one that tells the truth. If a
man gets a scratch on his little finger, the
whole house is put in requisition for stick
ing plaster, opodeldoc, Russia salve, and
mercy knows what. Then there amt
savager man in existence than man when
he's hungry. Go ask a favor of him some
time just before dinner, but don't wait for
an answer: and if the razor don't work
right when he is shaving in the morning
catch up the children and clear the coast
And as to pin money, although all man
can earn would not pay wife's wages,
yet if you hav'nt any afectionate pa, or
big hearted brother, or an accommodating
Observation-Disclosures help you.
Did you ever know a man whose wife
was sent to State Prison who ever made
her call at that interesting institution ?
And did you ever know woman even if
she'd had dozen sticks spoiled over her
head, who didn't bribe jailors and stone
walls till she had got at him, some how or
other, to tell him how she loved him all
the better, the wickeder he grew and the
more people hated him; and how, if he
had abused her, she dare say it were more
her fault than his'n. And what did Kos
suth's wife do for him, you stupid old fool?
and what did the American women of the
Revolution do for their husbands? and
what will their female descendants do for
you, you beer drinking, phlegmatic, tobac-.
co dried old German if you dare show
you phiz-mahogony this side of big pond?
