WoMEN.-D'Israeli, speaking Of the So
ciety of refined and charming women, says:
" It is an acquaintance which, when habi-
tual, exercises a great influence over the
tone Of the mind, even if it does not pro-
duce any more violent effects. It re6nes
taste, quickens the personalities, and
gives, as it were, a grace and dexibility to
your intellect" Some where else the same
writer remarks that, s'men are as much
stimulated to effort by the sympathy Of the
gentle sex, as by the desire Of power and
fame. Women are more disposed to appre-
ciate worth and intellectual superiority than
men, or at least, they are as often captiva-.
ted by the noble manifestations of genius,
as by the destinations of manners and the
charms of persons. :" a.,'
And Sidney Smith says: "Among men
Of sense and liberal politeness, a woman
who has successfully cultivated her mind,
without diminishing the gentleness and pro-
prlety ct her manners, is always sure to
meet with respect and attention bordering
on enthusiasm s .~
Again, another writer observes that, 'Of
all other views man may, in time, grow
tired, but in the countenances Of women
there isa variety which sets safety at de-
fance." .'The devine right of beauty"
says Junius, lis the only divine right a
man can acknowledge, and pretty women
the only tryant he is not authorized to re-
sist." NJ 4s -r 1JA .5 @

Respited on the eve or Execution

The Columbus (Ohio) Statesman says:-
The crowd assembled about the Jail at Col
umbus, on Friday. to be near the hanging
Of Myers, was large, and men, women and
children stood around for three hours in a
drizzling rain, waiting for the execution to
come off. The prisoner was to have been
brought from his cell at 123 O'clock the
rope was adjusted upon the scaffold, and
the arrangements were complete. The
Sheriff was in the act Of bringing the pris-
oner out to prepare him for the drop, when
the respite was received. The announce
ment to outsiders was greeted by no cheers
and no murmers At 2 o'clock, the Secre-
tary read the respite to the prisoner, and
asked if he accepted or rejected it. Myers
could not at once answer such an Important
question, but finally concluded that he wo'd
reject the respite, saying that he had re-
ceived bis sentence and was ready to be
hung He evinced no emotion whatever,
and appeared to regard the respite granted
him with the same indifference as he did
the sentence of the court. The question as
to whether it was lawful and proper to re-
prieve a condemned man against his will,
underwent considerable discussion on the
street yesterday The Chaplain Of the
Penitentiary visited Myers cell several
times, but he maintained his stoical indif-
ference throughout. f.a6aa- :r
