PoLITENEss IN MEN AND WoMEN.--A Cincinnati
e1ltor says that men are more polite than women,
AID proceeds to prove il in this wise:
Not long since we had occasion to ride short
distance in one Of our city omnibuses. It was at
ter dark, and the omnibus started off nearly filed
with men. Soon it stopped, and woman opened
tie door; instantly there was move among the
men they crowded together and seat was fur
nished the lady. After proceeding square or two
further, another lady wished to get in an addition
al squeeze was made, and she was accommodated
with seat. A similar application was again soon
made, and gentleman instantly gave up his seat
and got on top. Another soon followed, and ano-
ther gentleman did likewise Repeated instances
like this occurred, and the gentlemen, by crowding
together holding market-baskets and children, &C
commodated every lady applicant, till we counted
inside-men women and cbildren--nearly twenty
persons. Then the number began 10 diminish ;
men and children got out and the omnibus was
decenty filed with women, there being but two
men inside, and they at the further end complete.
ly blocked in by market baskets. And now woman
opened the door; not a lady stirred.
Can have seatsn modestly asked the ap.
plicant
"I should like to see where you'd sill, said one
lady.
Don't you see this bus is full ?" said another
You can stand" sneeringy said a third.
u can walk, replied the spunky applicant, and,
slamming the door, of she walked
Now, had the Omnibus been as full Of men as IL
was OF women, that lady would have been furnished
seat without murmur. But it is not only In
the omnibus that men show their superior polite
ness over women. In a rainy day, If we meet two
men abreast on crossing, one instantly steps be-
hind the other, and gives you a passway But If
you meet two ladies, ten chances to one but You
viii have to step 10 the mud. In crowded church,
men will squeeze together to accommodate another
man; but ladies will not move an inch to accom-
modate one of their own sex
We state these as general cases. There are ex.
ceptions, of course but We merely wish to draw
attention to the general fact that, while a mans
rudeness 10 woman is rare AZ to attract notice
when Il occurs, the rudeness of woman toward .
man, or towards another woman, Is so common as
TO be considered matter Of course. If, among
other womsn's rights" which some ladies are
now striving TO obtsin, they will eDgraft the right
to be always courteous and polite to each other,
we men viii take care Of ourselves, and them too,
God bless 'cm With all their faults, welove them
still. n
