WOMAN AMI A

These two topics are properly put in
connection at the head of our paragraph,
since, as the logicians say, the "latter
flows naturally from the former. AS
pathos and June are nearly opposite sides
of the same thing, so women cry as easily
as they laugh, and we are inclined to
think, enjoy the latter diversion quite as
much as the former. The "luxury of
VICE." as some s~entimentalist has called
it, is to them a satisfaction even more
intense han that of making a lover jeal-
GUS or a rival furious. Sometimes, in
deed, crying becomes an evil, a "cry-
ing evil, of course like any other
amusement when it is INDUCED to ex-
cess. Tears, no doubt, may be run in
to the ground, which is certainly
" carrying the thing too far. Yet ex-
cept for real, heartfelt grief, handsome
eyes, whether black or blue, are not of
ten spoiled by weeping. AS water al
ways finds its level, the lachrymal foun-
tain usually regulates itself, ga wise
providence of nature" as the moralists
say. When a man cries, he is either in
deep affection or-drunk. But, for
tunately, woman can weep without grief
or ebriety- Let 'em weep. To cloud a
woman's eyes would be as unkind as it
sounds profane. Let her cry, if she
likes; she will feel the better for it, and
look none the worse. Take away her
rights, - if you will, but don't deprive
her of this most beautiful and valuable
"water-privilegel"-Boston Post.

ANEeDoTE OF GEN. TAYLOR.

Ifthere is one thing that the late Pres
ident Taylor valued less than any other,
1t was dress. This indifference to the
fine arts of the tailor, az might have been
expected, led to a great many amusing
sblunders on the part ofhis subordinates.
On the day after the battle of Monterey
the General was in company with two
other officers, In undress, talking over
matters in the dining room of a cafe.
The General was dressed in a white jack
ct, strawhat and nankeen combinations.
The party had been in close converse but
afew minutes, when a young Lieutenant,
fresh from Iowa, made his appearance.
IT was his first day IN the camp, having
arrived that morning by the Wey of an
lnp-train, from the Rio Grande. he was,
of course, unacquainted with anybody.
After looking about for asfew minutes,
shetook his seat at q marble-topped table.
and commenced ordering up. $50
:" I say, shorty, pass the bill of fare. :"
This was addTesseh L. the General.
'Humors the Joke General, whispered
one ofthe officers, he evidently takes you
for the waiter
- Well seeI' saidthe General. ,tWhat
do you want ?, he .enquired.
- tAmutton chop andcup of coffee-and
suddenly, too, responded the Iowa officer.
James, get the gentleman what he de-
-sires,' said the General to one of the real
walters.

nantly responded the subaltern, that
won't do. If 1 wanted James to get my
dinner, 1 would have given my orders to
James. I want you, old fellow he con-
tinued, rather f~acetiously, to ATTEND to
the matter. 1t would do me good to see
man of your build fly around. Hal hal
But / am engaged, sir, and cannot
possibly attend to you. James must wait
upon you, or you must wait upon your

tered half-audibly, two big lubbers to

james attended to the order. The
Lieutenant partook of his mutton chop

adjusted his cap, and sauntered forth to
take a look at things. The first person
he me on reaching the Plaza, was 'shor-

LOVE OF FLOWERS.

E LHH "a #E MA-LE b.. @a
Ia all countries women love flowers;
in all countries they form nosegays of
them; but it is only in the bosom of
plenty that they conceive the idea of
embellishing their dwellings with them.
The cultivation of flowers among the
~peasantry indicates a revolution in all
their feelings. 1t lisa delicate pleasure
which makes its way through coarse or
gans; it Is creature whose eyes are
opened; it is the sense of the beautiful,
a faculty of the soul which is awakened I;
c%olors, forms, odors, are preceived for
the first time, and these charming OBJ
jects have at length spectators. Those
who have travelled in the country can
testify that a rose tree under the win
dow, a honeysuckle around the door of
cottage, is a good omen to a weary
traveller. The hand that c~ultivates
flowers is not closed against the suppl
cation of the poor, nor against the wants
wants of the stranger. Flowera may be
called the alphabet of angels, wherewith
they write on hills and plains mysterious
truths.-CanGd0 Agricultural.

SUNDAY IN PARIS.

MI. JAMES Brooks, of the New York
Express, gives the following sketch of
Sunday in Paris: - yzsss
Strange Paris / 1t is Sabbath,-and
the workmen on a new building just op-
posite my hotel on the Boulevards, are
at work as hard IS everi They walked
me up at 6 A. NJ, counting brick, 4" un,"
" deux" {" %trois," etc. land they kept on
counting and brick laying all day. The
Sabbath of Paris differs as yet only from
a week day, in the more brilliant exhibit
ton of equipages, and the greater devo-
tion to pleasure. / reasoned a little on
the subject with a French lady who de-
Tended the custom with so much volubil-
ity that her French, if not her logic, con-
founded me. She defended it all, how
ever, with the greatest zeal and energy.
Some of the newspapers in Paris, just
now, are arguing, purely as a question of
political economy, that men cannot work
as well seven days in the week as in six
that the laws of nature require the
Sabbath rest and relaxation, and that,
therefore, Sabbath work Sabbath shop
keeping, etc., ought not to be. The gov
eminent, I think, is favoring this refor-
nation, and so are the clergy, who are
publicly urging a better observance of
the Sabbth. The appeals have closed
some few shops on the Sabbath, and the
number is said to be increasing. Indeed,
the shop-keepers themselves; in order to
have the Sabbath as a holiday, are COM
bining and one is agreeing to shut up if
another will. If, however, this combi-
nation succeeds, the only result for the
nonce will be a greater thronging in the
Bots of Boulogne, the Elysian Fields,
the theatres, the cafes, and such like
places.
