Ladies' Far0rites.-There is too much
truth in the following remarks of Add
son:
Il have found that the men who are
reaHy the most fond of ladies-who cher
ish for them the highest respect--are sell
dom the most popular with the sex. Men
of great assurance whose tongues are
lighter hung-who made words supply
the place of ideas and place compliment
in place of sentiment-are their favorites.
A due respect for woman leads to respect
ful action towards them; and respect is
taken by them for neglect or want of love.
