Coop ADvIcE.-Those who wish TO do

to read the following. The reason may be

you can please everybody. Who ever

GENICs.-Iti is interesting to notice how
some minds seem almost to create them
selves springing up under every disadvan-
tage, and working their solitary but ire
s'st'ble way through thousand obstacles.
Nature seems to delight in Disappointing
the assiduties Of art, with which it would
rear dullness to maturity but to glory in
tue v'gor and luxuriancs Of her chance pro-
ductions. She scattcrs the seeds of genius
to the winds, and though some may perish
among the stony places of the world; aud
some may be choked by the thorus and

WOMAN IN FRANCE

Chivalry originated first in the south of
France, with all its complicated code of
sentImenls and customs, and left an ndeli-
BILE trace, not merely on the manners, but
on the whole Imagination of France. It's
the feeling which lay at the root of French
ch'v"lrv that still influences the position Of
women in France. They arc highly es-
te"med in England, they deserve it, rhev
have made their own position. But in
France their society, Independently of their
merit is indispensable. Few men past tbir-
ty years old will 60 habitually to house
except for the mistress Of it.
The French feeling is not gallanty in the
usual acceptance Of the word; it is not the
young and handsome only that arc centres
oe society. The taste for woman's society
and sympathy is universal, and beauties
are exceptions. In England woman's
beauty and her virtues are what every man
thinks of as the charm of his home. He
talks with rapture of the woman who will
nurse him and pour out his tea. In France
you Go not hear much about a woman's
coffee. Est ellie amiable' (amiable does
not mean virtue but an agreemen)-.a...
ellie / dc esprit9' is the second question if
not the first that every man asks. 1t does
not mean anything wonderful, it is-IIas
she the qnick perception that seizes what is
said and returns change for your thoughts?
Soc'"b'llty, the love. of convcrsing is an
absolute necessity. We know men who
would rather live in extreme poverty in
Paris than go away for comfortable in
come, not f'om any love Of its localities, but
they are afraid Of being enuved for want
OF the conversation they finl in every salon.
WHY does man prefer his club to draw.
'nS-room where his lady presides? And
why 90 men in Germany never 60 to one
bn' by special inviHIion with a supper to
make it bearab'e? They are as fond of
tl'r'r homes as The F'ench, but they have
les need Of companonship in their wives.
But whatever is The cause, the effect is Ger
tain; and in consequence Of this prefe, encc
for their society, the n,idd'c.ascd aud the
oil 'udies have 'he some rela;ive value, ac-
cpr1ing 10 their intellectual merit, that men
have. We never heard anv bodv ia France
call man an old woman because he was a
fool of a particular twad,ilng kind. Old
women are are thought quite as capable of
wisdomsas old men, and, in fact. they have
more influence. We do not say ;that wo-
mcn are not more duly appreciated in En-
gland. We have often been Struck with
the patronzing and also kindly manner in
which a gentleman will 60 up to lady,
and endeavor to draw her out. But he
does ii fiom good feeling, and not all for
his own satisfaction, SO that she ought to be
more obliged.

BEAUTIFL ALLUsloN.- remember
once, says Lamartihe, in allusion to his
parents, to have seen the branch Of a will
low which had been torn by the tempest's
hand from the parent trunk, float in the
morning light upon the angry surges of
the overaowing Saone. On it a, female
nightingale still covered her nest, as drifS
ted down the ioaming stream, and tho
male on the wing followed the wreck,
which was bearing away the objects Of
love.

this-in being alive TO what is going on
around one; in living actually; in giving
voice to the thought of humanity; in say :

the cencretion, the result Of the present
world.T In no other way can one affect
the world tban,in responding Tins to its
needs, in embodyingfthus it's ideas. You
