The Fair Sex and their Diet.


A late number of Blackwood's Mag
azine has the following caustic but per-
fectly just remarks upon the evils OF
gluttony, which is becoming loath-
some vice, as well in the United States
as in England:
eve are a dining nation; and, at
dinner, the finest qualities of the heart
and intellect are instinctively exhibited.
We do not like to see a young lady
ignore her food, or turn from the prof
fered wing of chicken, albeit with an
air of the prettiest disgust. That al
ways, to us at least, engenders suspi-
con Of previous banquets, of surrepti-
tious, of forenoon indulgences, in cakes
and hot Jelly, it may be with flavor
of maraschino. We see at once that
there is falsity in our sweet neighbor's
performance, that she is acting part
deliberately studied and conned and
we remember, with a shudder, the story
in the "Arabian Nights" of the lady
who restricted herself to a few grains
of rice at regulated meal-times, in or
der that she might be properly appe-
tised for her hideous supper with the
Ghouls. This is bad enough; but what
shall we say of an undisguised vora-
cious woman? 1t is frightful that such
thing should be; yet, nevertheless,
we lie not when we assert its existence.
Gluttony is not altogether male sin /;
it can be fou d in the female. How
often have we beheld it in the Park
carriages rolling by, containing enor-
nous women, bursting with plethora,
in whose rubi und countenance, the
awful signs of habitual hot luncheons
appeared Are they to be pitied !
Yes but their husbands are more pitia-
bic still. For we cannot conceive any
thing more wretched and deplorable
than the case of a man who, after his
days work in the city or at chambers,
returns home with freshencd appetite,
and seats himself at table with a few
friends, whom. he proposes Hospitality
to entertain, when, opposite him, the
parme of his couch, the once slim and
elegant Laura Matilda, sits in mute
obesity, her perceptions dulled by sati-
ETY., and a sullen scorn upon her heavy
lip--when Brown, and Jones, and Smith
the dearest friends of his soul-vain-
ly assail her with Thread-needle jokes,
and the pungencies of the Exchange
when even Bosh, the wit of the club
who has been known to extort a grin
from a red-tapist, attempts his fascina
ton in vain"

How TO Teach TIE ALPHABETICAL
a recent school meeting IN Boston, Prof.
Emerson mot Ralph Waldo Brama)
had something to say of that which he
had seen of teachings in Europe dur
ing his travels:
He spoke of what he saw in Dres-
den. He spoke of teaching the alpha
bet-of its usually being regarded as a
drudgery, which he called q sad mis-
take. He cited an example of forty
boys, seven years old, coming to learn
their alphabet. 1t was taught by man
competent for a college President. He
commenced by drawing a fish upon the
black board, and inquiring of the boys,
"What is that?" One answer was "a
fish )" another, at is the picture of a
fish," and another, "lt is the drawing OF
fish" "Right," said the teacher to
the last. They were then required to
make a nice sentence about the fish,
This being done, he then placed before
them the letters that make the word
They were then required to put the
letters together SO as to spell the word
This was done; also the making Of the
word. This was done also the making
of the letters on their states, forming
the word. They were next required tc
draw the picture of the fish. This was
the method of teaching the alphabet, by
no novice, but by the best learned Ger
man scholar. This method of thorough
ness was everywhere practced in teach
ing-a little ut time, and constant
repetition. "The effect of this method,
said he, "was surprising" How unlike
is this method to that pursued in om
primary schools. The teachers use nc
books in teaching. Consequently theil
minds were wholly on the matter o
teaching-watching the effect of theil
teaching upon the children. When theil
interest tired, their attention was direct
ed to a new subject, and thus the hap
piest results are produced.
