WIDOWS.

Some people have prejudice against
widows, bnt for our part we never could
tell for what. Girls will do very well in
their places. but one widow is worth
half dozen of them any day. Girls are
So shy, 30 timid, so reserved, so bashful. |
Very lew o! them know how TO make love,
and when they do understand il, it is awk
wardly done. But widows understand
the whole process. They know when to
advance and when to retreat. When to
lay seigs to heart, and when to attack it
by stotm. More cases have succumbed to.
the dazzling bright eye Of q widow, clad
in weeds, than were ever taken by the
dreamy, meancholy orbs of motherhood.
Believe us, there is more real danger in
the da k and waving tresses of bereaved
one twenty-five, than lurk in the golden
locks of girldom. See there goes one of
them now. Scarcely twelve-month has
soitened down her excessive grief. But
women cant reep always. They are
made Of something besides tears; and she
has already found out that her charms
are not entirely fIlel. she has not
entirely faded. She has not thrown aside
her sable weeds yet, but the heavy and SOM
bre bombazine has given place to light
and graceful fabric, which shows beneath
its folds the white petticoat, and sets of
more beautifully her symmetrical form,
\ AID falls more elegantly from her polished
shoulders. Notice her little foot as she

, ground. and how alroily she manages to
exhibit the well proportioned ankle. All,
that is the woman for you! But look a

What Host Merits Compassion.

The persons in America who seems to
me to merit compassion most, are not the
poor, for OF these there are not many, en-
c.pt in few large cities: those who are
to be piticd are the rich. Obtaining wealth
by course of Successful inlustr, il would
appear as if there wee NJ other means OF
spending it than in rea.ing splendid man
sions. and furnishing item in style of
Oriental luxury, and there after living in
gorgeous magniicence like the prince mer-
chants of Genoa in the past times of Ital-
ian glory. So far as the actua. founders
of fortunes are concerned, there is, per-
haps, little to discommen1 in all this; but
it was disageeeably pressed on my notice,
that the sons of these millionaire, born to
do nothing but to live upon their fathers
earnings, were much t, lie pitied. In New
York, they were seen lounging about idly
in the pailors and bar-rooms OF the hotels
worn out with dissipation, ani the mighty
victims of gambling houses, OF wAicl
there are number in Broadway on seal
of matchless splendor. Among the vice
they have lately thought lit to introduce
is the practice, now obsolete in England
of encouraging professional pugi!iam, TIL
exercise Of which occasionally leads t.
to serious affrays.

siderable part Of the fortunes realized i

no honor, and is not bought except as

would have nothing to look for in the ri
