see no reason, yet, to change our opin-
ion.
HooPs.-What right have we of the
ugly sex to be eternally talking alb out
ladies' dresses What do we know
about it? 1t is all very well for us
to quarrel over the gearing of a mule
team, or the shape of an OK yoke; but
for great, awkward, graceless men to set
up their opinions as a criterion of the
manner in which lady = that breath
ing essence of infinite beauty and grace
= shall array herself, is like hog tell
ing a peacock how to arrange his plu-
mage.
You say you don't like hoops. You
pretend to reason about them; you say
they are unbecoming, and uncomforta-
BILE, and inconvenient, and dangerous :;
and that, if a hooped lady should hap
pen to blow over in a gale Of wind, she
would roll off, like a hosshead Of mo-
lasses running down hill, and that it
would lie dangerous to attempt to stop
her, and that she might roll against
something and smash up. But, you
wicked infdel don't you know that be-
lief in the good taste of lady is re-
ligious sentiment = that it depends on
faiM = not reason? Don't you know
that your taste is finite = that hers is
infinite? Don't you know that you don't
know any thing about it, and that
lady's dress is not a legitimate sphere
for your investigation
But, you say, that when lady is in
hoops, you can't get near her. What
business have you near her Probably
this is the very reason why she wears
them. Perhaps you have been stick
ing that great tobacco and smoke smell
ing muzzle of yours into her face, and
she takes this method of avoiding youb
in future. "The heart knoweth its own
bitterness, and a stranger doth not int
termeddle with his joy;" SO doth a la
dy know her own business, and 6eaf
shouldn't intermeddle with her fixens.
Court OF SEssIoNs.-STANDING Jul
RoRs.-The regular term of the Court
of Sessions convened on Monday last,
to dispose of the criminal business
of the county. A grand jury had been
summonedto to be in attendance, but Judge
Caswell, noticing an unusually large
number of standing Jurors" among them
adjourned the Court until next Monday,
and directed the Sheriff to summon a
grand jury from some other townships
besides Nevada.
The above is stupid and mendacious.
Monday was the first day of the term
there was no Grand Jury in attendance
none had been ordered or summoned
so Judge Caswell could not notice can
unusually large number of standing ju-
rors'-and he did not order the Sheriff
to summon another grand jury'-there
were not above half dozen persons In
Court, and most of those were lawyers,
having cases then. The spite of tho
Democrat against the Sheriff is unwiseI
unless it can vent it otherwise than by
the invention of such gross falsehoods.
ExcITED.-In the touching play of
Loves Trials, the naughty queen
agrees to kneel to the collier's daughter,
if she shall make certain sacrifices foI
her husband The other evening, du1
ring its performance, when Griseldis had
given the last proof of her devotion by
agreeing to die for her lord, and the ge-
MUS of Mrs. Hayne had drawn tears from
half the audience, a nervous hom5re was
unable any longer to restrain his excited
feelings, but cried out in sentorian voice
to the queen, "now knecl, will youI
