4 CHAPTER ABOUT WOMEN

Rather a queer title, is'tit? But
then yon see, we have a qaecr sub
ject to write about, whether vou
consider them morally, physically
patholo4ically, or any other way
you choose to get at it. There is nc
subject in the world that admits o1
variety OF treatment, and ofsuch a
hundred different men with the
question laid before them, probab.
ly no two Of them would look at it
in the same light One would treat
woman as a moral institution, look
ing rather from a religious point OF
view Another would only look at
her physically, paying particular
attention to her different points OF
beauty. And thus they would reason,
each after his own heart.
~ But they are strange creatures
very strange indeed
For instance, there is the beauti-
fui woman-and, by the way, every
one thinks it is she, but some of
them must be mistaken. But, never
theless and Notwithstanding, there
are many really beautiful woman,
and unlike fruits aud flowers, they
are confined to no particular place:
neither do they belongsto any par
tisular station in life:s We find
them in the city and country in the
lordly hall and in the logcabin, at
the piano or the wash-tub. We
may find them gathering grapes in
Italy, playing in France, chasing
foxes in England, painting lirs III
Circassa, grinding corn in Africa,
cigarteos in Cuba, or flirt-
ing in the United States. And
every where she is the same, whe-j
ther she be thumming the piano in
in the place, killing bed bugs in
the hovel or picking geese, in a
constable Everywhere she re-
ceives the4same homage, and is apt
to be the sane.capricious creature,
unless endowed with an extra por-
zion of good hard sense.
And when a woman knows that
she is beautiful, she will take any1
quantity Of pains to let everybody |
else know it. Look at the present
style of bonnets-nothing more
han a bunch Of ribbons, flowers,
and laces, perchtd upon the back
If her head. These are worn to
show the sbair, and in order that
shadow may rest upon their faces.
And those short dresses and crino-
inc what are tt ey for but to show
l pair Of pretty feet for if wo-
nan has pretty feet and ankles,

/ TIE GIRLS SURpR1sED.-At
a village called sThe Centre, in the
Northern part Of Vermont, the
boys and girls had glorious dane,
and gay time generally. A youth
not having the fear Of a bottle be-
!. fore his eyes, managed to get de-
cidedly inthe fog upon this unwont-
ed occasion, and slyly withdrew
under the bed Of the ladies' dress
ing. room to recruit. No sooner had
be closed his eyes, than a pair of
blooming dansels came in from
the hail, and began adjusting their
disordered ringlets. The girls had
tongues, which ran in this wise:
w hat nice dance we're having!
Haye you heard anybody say any
thing about me, Jane?' La! yes,
Sally! =. Jim Brown says he never
saw you 'ook so hadsome as you do
to MI ght. Have you heard any

ed up a little more, and were start
ing off glibly for fresh gossip, when

sHa. you. heard anybody: say7any-

PEKsoNAL.-Senat6r Seward has
gone to Egypt: It is a bold step
at least, 50. it is considered in Paris
for ali American to makessuch
an expedition so early in.the season.
Except theinsalubrity Of the season,
he has. chosen the. best time to SEQ
many o:the countrieshe has visited,
Rome, Spain and Egypt,
for he escapes the throng of Ame-
leans and English and the sharks
they bring about them, that infest
the highways late in the season.
and thus his view Of the people and
their institutions is less obstructed.
1t is doubtful whether he will be
able to go down the Nile, and there
is some danger that he may be de-
tanned longer in Quarantine than
will be agreeab|e.~
An Indian once brought up a
lion, and finding him weak and
harmless, never attempted to con-
troll him. Every day the lion gain
81 in strength, and became more
until, at last, when
excited by rage, he fell upon the
Indian ard tore him to pieces. Our
evil habits and passions very much
resemble that lion.

and which required, rs . preparAtion to be remoseo'
| changes still more essential, seemed An iilusory ope"
ton, and the project was abandoned-
In this way the demolition Of Franktin's house was
inevitable. That it must disappear nom the sPos
which il occupied was clear. The street must %
widened. II the living Franklin, grown up to the
height Of his worldwide renoun, had stood upon tne
spot, hs must have stepped aside or been run Gown
BY the Charlestown Omnibus; and poor Richaru,Sas
thrifty as poor,-was not the man who WOULD nave
allowed q sentimental feeling about a ruinous oid
house to prevent the widening of a great thorough
fare. As little would he have countenanced the de-
ceptive operation of transferring the building we nave
described to another spot, and that after announcer
renovation, under the pretence OF removing. ior the
sake of preserving, n precious relic Of antiquity.
Everything removable and coeval with benjamin
will be preserved. The gilt globe which hung for .
century and a half at the corner U the house, ana
was supposed to symbolic q round cake OF soap,
bearing visibly, where gliding has disappeared, the
name of Josiah Franklin and the date OF 1888, has
been preserved by Gen'l E. L. Stone, the late proprie-
tor of the house, and will doubtless find its way to
some appropriate public institution. The handle and
piston of the old pump, the door. the window, and
the hearth-stone above referred to, are safe, with all
that is valuable of the ancient frame. Little has
