Old .Nfnitis.

A Fprightly writer expresses his opinion
OF old maids in the following manper -
% am inclined TO believe that many Of the
satirical aspcrsions cast upon old maids.
tell more to their credit than is generally
imagined. Is woman remarkably neat in
her person, she win certainly die an old
maid, Is she frugal in her expenses, and
exact in her domestic concerns. she is cut
out for an old maid And il she is kind
and humane to the animals about her,
nothing can save her from the appellation
of an old maid. In short, have always
found that neatness, modesty, economy. and
humanity, are the never failing character
istics of an old maid"

When the Hon. Edward Everett was our
Minister 10 the Court Of ST. James. he re-
ceived letter from one Of the interior
counties Of England. telling him that they
had in their Honse Of Correction an Ameri-
can seaman, whom they were desirous o: be-

might be sent TO London, where be might be
sent to the United States adding the sug-
gesiion, that If the British Minister at Wash
ington we're applied to in the same way by
the overseers of the almsbouses and wardens
of the United States he would be kept pret
ty busy! The circumstance was related by
Mr.. Everett, in public address a few years
since. ~ really felt pleased" said he, "at

Woman ns Described by various Au-
thors.

CArAIISr.-Only he who has nothing TO
hope from woman is truly sincere in her
praise.
MADAME EE MArsTExoN.-In everything
women write there will be thousands OF
faults against grammar, but also, TO a GER
talnfy. always charm never TO be found in
the letters OF men.
]. J. RossEAu.-- Men can better philoso-
phise on the human heart, but women can
read it better.
MIcHELET.-It is universal rule, which.
as far as know, has no exception, that great
men always resemble their mothers, who i'm.
press their mental and physical mark upon
their sons.
MADAM FEE.-A Woman frequently resists
the love she feels, but cannot resist the love
che inspires.
MADAME DE SrAEI---Love, in a woman's
fife is history in mans, an episode.
DIDERor.-There exists among women a
secret tie. like that among priests OF the
same faith. They hate each other, yet pro-
tect each others interests.
SrAHI.-No woman, even the most intel
lccsual, believes herself decidedly homely.
DUcDos.-Gr eat and rare heart offerings
are found. almost exclusively among women;
nearly all the happiness and most blessed
moments OF love are Of their creating, and
also In friendship, especially when it follows
love.
OcrAvR FEruLIr--Providence has so
ordained IL that only two women have 4 true
interest in the happiness of a man-his own
mother aud the mother of his children. Be-
sides these two legitimate kinds OF love.
there is nothing between the two creatures
except vain excitement. painful aud idle de-
lusion.
LExEsTE.-Most of their faults women
owe to US. whilst we are indebted TO them
for most OF our better qualities.

Eat Fat N eat.

L! is toe opinion of the abest medical men
in the country, that fat meat 10 essential to
health. DR.. Dixon says the use OF oil would
decrease the victims Of eonsumptious nine
tenths. DIR. Hooker also says that without
fat meat, sooner or later, the body is almost
sure to show the effects Of deficient calorii-
cation. Young persons who will eat plenti-
fully OF fat meat will never die OF consump-
tion. Those who avoid the use of fat meat
seldom live to good old age. but die be-
tween the ages Of % and forty-6ve. Re-
member this and prepare your bodies for a
good old age by eating plenty Of fat meat.

This rock is by no means the common soapstone

an alumnous rock, that alumna takes the place of
magnesia. A specimen which I gave Dr. jackson.

alumina 1t is closely allied to the Aaimatolite or
figure stone of the Chinese. Although not a soap-
stone; it is still adapted eminent degree to be
used for the same purposes as substitute for fire
brick and as lining for stoves. But for these pur-
poses 1t should be cut into proper forms and dried

pearl paper tor rapering rooms; it is also put into

worth about $40 per ton in New York The most
important use of it. however, is the manufacture of
Porcetain. When the agalmatolite is incorporated
with fine white slick, it is capable of fusion and if
the composition is properly prepared, it makes the

The Senator's arguments, when properly sifted,
amount to this and nothing more, that in terrific

The fundamental law. being a proclamation of

at this point (non.obServance) would fix the lmi-
