The Supreme Court Of Illinois has late.

Society OF WoMEN.--D'lsRAELL speak
ing Of the society Of women, says: alt
is an acquaintance which, when habitu
al, exercises a great influence over the
tone of the mind, even if it does rot pro
duce any more violent effects. 1t refines
the taste, qujckens the perception, and
gives, as it were. grace and nexibility to
the intellect" Somewhere else the same
writer remarks, that "men are as much
stimulated to mental effort by the sympa.
thy Of the gentle sex. as by the desire OIL
power and fame. Women are more dis.
posed to appreciate worth and intolloctu
81 superiority than men; OF, at least, they
are as often captivatcd by the noble man
ifestatons Of genius, as by tue fascina
tons Of manners and the charms Of per
son." And Sydeny Smith is equally cor
rect when he says that "among men 0
sense and liberal poIiteness, 4 woman wit
has successfully cultivated her mind with
out diminishing the genteness and pro
prieiy Of her manners, is always sure t
meet with a respect and attention border

TASTE IN DRESS.

1t is not so much the richness OF the
material as the way it is made up, and
the manner in which it is worn, that give
the desired elegance. A neat fit, a grace.
full bearing, and proper harmony be
tween the complexion and the colors, have
more to DO with Tightening female altrac.
tons than many are willing to believe.
Says sensible writer: "Manv a wife

an unmarried female first wins the heart
OF her future husband in some simple, un

about, she would pronounce too cheap ex'

accidental suitability to her figure, face,

PARODY ON THE LAST ROSE OF
SUMMER.

It's the last cake Of supper,
Left steaming alone,
All its light brown companions
Are buttered and gone.
No cake of its kindred
No cookie is nigh
To steam on the platter,
Or near its mate lie.
III not leave thee, thou lone ono.
To meet COLD fate,
Since thy mates are all eaten,
Come lie on my plate,
Thus kindly I'll butter
Thy steaming sides DER.
And think on thy sweetness
When thou art no more.
Thus all cakes must follow,
Three times every day.
When breakfast is ready
They vanish away.
When hunger is mighty
And sickness has flown,
No cake can inhabit
The table alone.

There was even more wisdom in the

not horses only that suffer for the want oil
