THE LADf's MAH.--Q al the animal nui.
sauce which afiict society 1--WE think the gen.
uine lady's man takes the lead. His face is
etesnally wreathed with u6meaning smiles,
and when he addresses lady, it is always in
such strain of absurd nonsense, that we
have often been surprised that any lady, arm.
ed with fan, and so addressed, did not brain
the animal on the spot. If the lady's man
does, by any possibility, possess the least de-
gree of common sense, he takes especial pains
to conceal it, for somehow or other he has
taken it into his wise head that empty senti-
mentality and absurd nothings are the only
offering fit for the female mind. In order to
be true to what be conceives to be the enter
tainment and AMUSEMENT the ladies', he turns
traitor to manhood, and SO becomes epicene
himself without presenting just claim to be
classed with the male or female sex. His best
qualities are those which he possesses in COM
mon with certain kind of dogs-to fetch and
carry. Ladies, who laugh in their sleeves at
the fool, may not object to the attentions of
the servant, and so out of sheer commiseration
allow him 10 carry fan, or escort-them to the
opera, when the man of their acquaintance are
no. accessible. The ladies' man is sufficient
ly rewarded for attending them through a
whole evenings entertainment, if they will
only drop smile into the poor fellows hat at
parting. With this substantial blessing he is
encouraged to future exertion in this wide
field of masculine ambition.
II a mans duty to lady consisted in pick
ing up dropped pocket-handkerchiefs and fans
or twifhng her round, to the point of giddiness
and exhaustion, in the waltz, We shout per-
haps, envy the accomplishments of the mere
ladies' man; but, believing. as we do, that the
delightful and loveable dependanceof woman
upon the sterner sex demands the exercise Of
more manly qualities for the effeminate &C,
complishments of the other.
To treat woman like doll--only to pre-
sent to her mind the gaseous eructations Of
false sentiment, or the frothy nonsense OF
fashionable frivolity, is surely no way to win
the esteem and respect of any woman not the
victim of. congcDial worthlessness. Wo-
men are excellent judges Of character; and
although We have frequently seen them en-
tertained with the folIies Of the ladies' man
as with the antics of pet dog--~e have sell
dom seen sensible woman apply them t.
any better use than for their mirth and laugh
ter. Few would be willing to trust the gui.
dance Of their lives to such shallow and un-
reliable pilot.-N O. Della.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American says that about
three years ago young man presented him.
self to Mr.. Corwin for a clerkship. Thrice
was he refused. and still he made fourth eff
fort. His perseverance and spirit of deter
mination awakened a friendly interest in his
welfare, and the Secretary advised him, in the
strongest possible terms, to abandon his pur-
pose and GO to the West, if he could do no
better outside the Department. "My young
friend" said he, ego to the Northwest, buy
$50 acres government land-or if you have
not the money to purchase squat on it; get
you an axe and a mattock; put up log cabin
for you habitation; and raise little corn and
potatoes; keep your conscience clear, and
live like freeman; your own master, with no
one to give you orders, and without depen-
dence upon any body. Do that, and you will
become honored, respected. influential, and
rich. Bat accept a clerkship here, and you
sink at once all independence; your energies
become relaxed, and you untitled in a
few years for any other and more independent
position. may give you a place to-day, and
can kick you out again tomorrow; and
there's another man over there at the White
House who can kick out, and the people
by-and-by can kick him out; and so we go.
But if you own an acre of land, it is your
Kingdom; and your cabin is your castle-you
are sovereign, and you will feel it in every
throbbng OF your pulse, and every day of your
life will assure me of your thanks for having
thus advised you"

A Euiogy


A humorous friend Of ours from the South
(whose "favors we respectfully solicit,) men
toned the other day funeral sermon which
he heard in North Carolina not long since,
that set even our associate Owl a-winking.-
Parson s., rather eccentric character
was called upon to "preach the funeral' of a
hard case named Ram, which he did in the
following Style "My beloved brethren and
sistern if our departed brother would a-wan-
ted somebody to tell lies about him, and. make
him out a better man than he was, he
would Mt a-chosen me to preach his funeral.
No, my brethren, he warted to be held up
as burnin' and shinin' lig ht to warn You
from the error of your ways. He kept hor-
ses and he run'd EN-; he kept chickens, and
he fou't EN-; he kept women, and there sits
his widow who can prove it. THE widow
sat directly in front of the pulpit, and here
gave an affirmatory nod. Our dear departed
brother had many warnins' brethren. The
first warnin' was when he broke his leg, but
hestill went on in the error of his ways
The second warnin' was when his son Pete
hung himself in Jail; and the last and great
est warnin' OF all was when he died himself.
The preacher then enlarged on these topics
until he had sunk Ram SO low that his hear
ers began to doubt whether he would ever
get himup again, and, as is usual in -fnner
ais" land him safely in Abrahsm's bosom.
Thiswas the object Of the second part of
the sermon, started off thus: My brethren,
there'll be great mericals, great mericals, in
heaven. And the first merical will be, that
many of you expect to find there you won't
see there. The people that 60 round with
long faces, maxim long prayers, won't be
there; and the second meracle will be that
many you don't expect to find there, as some
peh ps won't expect to find our dear depar-
ted Ram, you'll find there; and the last and
greatest meracle will be to find yourselves
there" "There is not one single word of ex.
aggeration," said the narrator, Gin it." Il

nTA term Of Court is now being held at
Mount Vernon, Posey co., at which circum-
stance occurred, hitherto unknown in the
history of that county. The Grand Jury
were charged by Judge Hovey, and retired to
their room, but returned in about an hour
and reported no business. This looks well
for "old Posey."

How SENATORS ARE ELECTED IN New JER-
sEv.-The following extract from New Jer-
sey paper shows how things are done
there, since the State has been thrown into
the embrace of Democracy by the great
railway monopoly, which has rested, like an
incubus, on the prosperity of the State for so
many years:
We are ofopinion that very few members
of the Legislature from any quarter were
bought outright with the funds OF the Essec
millionaire. 1t was the lobby borers who
were Wright's hirelings, and they were de-
pended upon to worry and dragoon the men,
bers into his support. These mercenaries
were brought there from every county in
the State; they numbered i'm the aggregate
over one hundred strong, and were employed
at cost of somewhere between $40, 600 and
$50, 900. One lobby operator. who halls
from this county, and who is regarded as
unequalled in that corrupt vocation, is alone
reputed to have marched into Bi)J to the
tune of $4,000. This corps OF purchased
borers were the instrume nts of Mr.. Wrigat's
success; they ssheeced the Golden ASS"
leaving the members Of the Legislature t.
do the voting, and sneak to dinner with
empty pockets. Doubtless, there were
some few Of the latter who made the
thing pay. 1t would be strange il none o.
D them held out the platter while the golden
shower was descending.

in America, and occasionally collected for me-
dicinal purposes.but never used as candles to
take the place Of spertnaceti or tallow. lfthe
subject was properly taken up, the writer had
little doubt but vegetable wax would grow in-
to manufacture Of national importance. The
berry is from three to eight fee, high. 1t yields
a supply OF 25 per cent. of wax. The wax
is obtained by boiling the berries in water I'M

Mr.. EpIroR: Doctor Graham, in a commu-
nication published in the Enquirer of the nth
inst, says am in favor of "the Central gauge,
for the break at or near Covington would be E.
quvaent to an increase of so miles in dis.
lance"
Then DR.. G. is for throwing all the tonnage OF
the Covington & Ohio road on the Cent? al
road. How like you this, ye water-llne men,
that the Canal shall not even have a chance
for the rich productions of the West. How
ike we this,ye citizens of Richmond for what
ever is put on the Canal must come to your CT
ty; but the tonnage on the Central road may
be diverted to Alexandra and BALTIMORE
The assertion that break at Covngton is e.
quivalent to the transportation Of so miles
