An Indignant woman.

f e Il
A lady--a young lady we viii warrant
thus expiatiates, in lLe columns Of q Buf-
falo paper, upon very delicate topic:--
"A woman who loves onslaught deserves
the scorn Of tlie man she loves.
Heaven forgive mel but may The man
who penned that never REQ another bonDetl
May no wlihs dimpled arm ever encircle
his cravat ortultons vegitate on his shirts.
May no rosy lips ever press bis mustache.
and the fates grant that bis digky strings
break short of every morning. Nay no
Woman,g heart over loarn to beat faster
except with indignation--at the mention
Of his name, and may bis stockings always
need mending.
We feel greatly inclined 70 say amen to
that prayer. .horriblea as would be the oondi-
ioD sf him in whose behalf the ladis'sier-
vent prayer might be answered. But whom
the indignant lair one adds Z,
Aud when his nerves are all unstrung

muslin or calico.
We must hold back cur assent To the
malediclion, and. dare wager our gold
pen sgainst The largest nugget California
or Austria ever produced, that dear Ruth
herself would be the fret to hasten to the
poor wretches sick chamber and with those
lender mihisetries which reveal the angelic
nature Of woman, ,tenderly soothe and nurse
the afflicted one.
But here is a smart hit:

love where there is no hope OF return7--
That does look like >bal speculation; but
{ she has the Bible on her side: III you love
) them that love you whstreward have you.
for do not even the Publicans so?'
And here. TOO, burst OF true womanly
feeling:

ET TIME.-What blessed order Of ma
turO it is, that the footsteps Of time arc in
audible, aud noiseless and that the seasons
Of life, like those of the year, are SO indis-
tinguishable brought on in gentle pro-
gression, and are SO blended, the one with
the other, that the human being scarcely
knows except from faint and not an un.
pleasant sensation, that he is growing old
So day steals into night through the
crimson curtains Of twilight. So the goI'
den 1 ates of dawn swing around noiseless
as tho portals Of Heaven. Even the heat
of the heart is mufllsd, that we may know
how fast it struggles out. From the bnil-
ding of the oak to the rolling of the world,
there is no olink of machinery. There ia
no noise save of helpless waves, or the
rent air groaning with the lightning's
bolt, or now and then the play Of a vol
cano's valves. or the puny cries of insects
or ofmen. in all this world Of ours. The
past is dumb---the future silent, and the
present makes but slight ripple, like the
trailing of steamer on a quiet sea,
