THE LADY's MAN.--The following we'll
timed and sensible article we End in the N.
Orleans Delta, but as it will apply to more
localities than one, we insert ii Cor the ben
eft Of birds of that feather in Lancaster
or all the animal nusauees that afiiet So
ciety, we think the genuine lady's man takes
the lead. His face is eterna!ly wreaihed
with unmeaning smiles, and when be sd-
dresses lady, it is always in such strain
OF absurd nonsense, that we have often been
surprised that any lady, armed with fan.
and addressed. did not brain the animal on
the spot. II the lady's man does, by any
possibility, possess the least degree OF CON-
mon sense, he takes especial pains TO con-
ceal it, for somehow or other he has taken il
into his wise head that empty sentimeptality
and absurd nothngs are the only offerings
fit for the female mind. In order to be true
to what he conceives to be the entertain
ment and amusement OF the ladies, he turns
traitor to manhood, and so becomes epicene
:imself without presenting just claim TO
be classed with the male or female. His
best qualities are those which he possesses
in common with certain kind OF dogs-to
!
sleeves AZ the fool, may not object to the at
tentions OF the servant, and so, out of sheer
commiseration. allow him to carry fan, or
escort them to the opera, when the men Of
I their acquaintance are not accessible. The
lady's man is sufficiently rewarded for at
tending them through a whole evenings en-
terlanment. if they only drop q smile into
! the poor fellows hat at parting. With this
substantial blessing he is encouraged to fu-
lure exertion in this wide field of masculine
ambition.
ia mans duty TO a lady consisted in
/ picking up dropped pocket handkerchiefs
and fans, or twirling her round, to the point
f giddiness and exhaustion, in the waltz
we should, perhaps, envy the accomplish
ment of the mere Iady's man, but believing
as we do, that the delightful and lovablt
dependence Of woman upon the sterner sex
demands the exercise of more manly quail
ties for the effeminate accomplishments OF
the other.
! To treat a woman like doll-only to
present to her mind the gaseous eructa-
lions of false sentiment, or the frothy
nonsense of fashionable frivolity, is sure
" no way to win the esteem and respect
of any woman not the victim Of cOngenia
worthlessness. Women are excellent judg
es of character; and, although we have fre
nnently seen them entertained with the
foliies Of the lady's man---as with the antics
of net dor--we have seldom seen a sens
ibe woman apply them to better use thai
for their mirth and laughter. Few woull
be willing TO trust the guidance of thei
lives to such shallow and unreliable pi
lots. M. fs&
