THE SWEET LITTLE MAN.

/ DEDICATED TO THE sTAY-AT-HOME RANGERS.
! Now, while soldiers are lighting our battles,
| Each at his post to do all that he can,
! Down among rebels and contraband chattels,
What you DOING my sweet little man?
All the brave boys under canvass are sleeping,
All ofthem pressing to march with the van,
Far from the home where their sweethearts weep
ing,
What you waiting for, sweet little man
You with the terrible warlikc moustaches,
Fit for a colonel or chief ola clan,
You with the waist made for sword belts and sashes,
Where are your shoulder-straps, sweet little man
Bring him the buttonless garment of women!
Cover his face lest it freckle and tan,
Muster the Apron String Guards the Common,
That is the corps for the sweet little man!
Give him for escort a file of young misses,
Each of them armed with deadly rattan;
They shall defepd i him from laughter and hsses,
Aimed by low boys at the sweet little man.
All the fair maidcns about him shall cluster.
Pluck the white feathers from bonnet and fan,
Make him plume like turkey-wing duster-
That is the crest for tie sweet little man!
0, but the Apron String Guards the fellows
Drilling each day since troubles began
s.HandIe your walking stick!' shoulder Umbrel-
lasu'
That is the style for the sweet little man
Have we a nation to save In the first place,
Saving ourselves is the sensible plan-
Surely the spot where there's shooting. s the worst
place
Where can stand, says the sweet little man.
Catch me confding my person with strangers
Think how the cowardly Bull-Runners ran!
In the Brigade of the stay-at-Home Rangers
Marches my corps, says the sweet little man
Such was the stuff of the MaEakoff-takers,
Such were the soldiers that scaled the Redan
Truculent housemaids and blood thirsty Quakers,
Brave no. the wrath OF the sweet little mani
Yield him the sidewalks, ye nursery madens
.Sagce q,d peud ! Bridget and right about, Ann
Fierce as a shark in a school OF manhaGens,
See him advancing, tie sweet little
When the red fails Of the battle field threshers
Beat out the continents wheat from its bran,
While the wind scatters the chaffy seceshcrs,
What Will become of our sweet little man
When the brown soldiers come back from the borders
How viii he look while his features they scan
How will he feel when he gets marching orders,
Signed by his lady love sweet little man!
Fear not for him, though the rebel expelIs him
Life is too precious to sharpen its span
Woman her broomstick shall raise to protect him,
VIII she not fight for the sweet little man?
Vow then, nine cheers for the stayat-Home Ranger !
Blow the great fish horn aud beat the big pan
First in the field that IS fart he from DANCER
Take your white feather plume, sweet little man

TIE PRIVILEGED SEX.
On board the steamers, and in other
modes of communication throughout the
country, the ladies have every sort of priv
ilege. On the railways they exert a Wig
orous right of appropriation over the gen.
tlemen, even should he have taken his
seat at previous station. On many 9th
er occasions, such as at theatres, in the
galleries Of the house, or wherever there
may be anything to be seen or heard the
''lord of creation can ever feel safe in
his seat, however early he may have ta-
ken possession Of it. If any one tap him
on the shoulder and whisper in his ear the
words Of terror, ga lady, he must spring
up at once, and is swept aside like dust by
the crinoline to seek another seat where
he can.
And yet it would be possible to endure
all this, and more, if the ladies united With
their authority, graciousness and pleas
ant show of gratitude, and if they--the
petted and the 6lasees-did not regard all
the SURFACES and indulgen es of the men
with such indifference, and as tribute
necessarily theirs. Generally, however,
they behave as if the men did nothing but
their duty. You may dislocate your spine
in picking up anything a lady has let fall
or, like Raleigh, lay down your coat before
her, so that she may pass dryshod over a
puddle, and rarely will you be rewarded
even by a smile. And all this robs the
weaker sex Of its sweetest charm, the gen
tie and irresistible power by which it else
where enchains and thralls the heart Of
man. Among us the stronger being bows
to woman, and the weak darling, conscious
of her need and support, rewards him with
her gratitude, But, in America, Fridolin
does his duty like a negro slave, and, Of
course, now and then grows weary of the
affair. It IS not unfrequent to hear the
chivalrous Americans, when out of their
wives earshot, indulge in the most awful
declarations Of rebellion

American Young Ladyism.

Mr.. j. G. Kohl, a German traveller,
who has described more than half the civ
ilized world, has recently written what pur-
ports to be an account of the young ladies
of America
ALL AMERICAN WOVEN BEAUTIFUL.
Our traveller begins by remarking that
our domestic institutions produce singu-
lar sameness
'That beauty, however, should become
democratic is a remarkable fact for the OBJ
server The fair sex in America has not
only the samo universal feelings, impulses
and passions, the education and require
ments, which they have obtained from IN
stitutions of a like pattern, but also the
same charms. There is a greater nation
al family resemblance among Ameri-
can women than among those of any Eu-
ropean country. The general affinity in
manners, comfort, and social value has
had such an effect on the type Of beauty,
that they all appear to have issued from
the same mould and school, An Ameri-
can salon filed with ladies resembles hy-
acynth field in the sand gardens of Berlin.
Clumsy, coarse features, striking defor-
mites, original and characteristic ugliRess,
are found neither among men nor women.
! No one could dream there, of asserting
that 1e laid &C est Je JeQH The great ma
jority Of women are moderately pretty, We
ry passable, or pleasingly Pretty, Still
their charms are concentrated more in
their features than in their demcanor, fig
rres, or corporeal shape. A classical bust,
rounded arms, and well developed limbs
are the greatest rarity among them. You
may gaze on a hundred and not discover
one shapely waist. The efemiuate man
ners of these anything but Spartan Amer
lean ladies, thsir horror of bodily move
ment and physical exertion, produce neg
lect and decay of the whole muscular sys-
TEN. Walking in the open air is some
thing quite unusual with them, for in their
country where there are no footpaths OF
promenades, they move about in carriages
and rarely on horseback. The rest of the
long day they spend after the fashion oi
ladies in Eastern hareTs, on softly cush-
ioned sofas, or in their favorite rocking
chairs by the freside. Full beauties, Il
Reubens, are never found among them
and equally rare are those graceful, we'll
rounded, elastic, Junenic forms, which
may still be seen in Italy and other Euro
pean countries The ladies of Kentucky
alone offer an exception to this. but the
rest all resemble tulips in whom only tht
head delights Their faces, too, are pleas
anter through the delicacy of the outline
than through the color or expression
Their complexion is hardly ever rosy, ant
rarely lively and fresh. They are some
what paid, like jealous romance reader
among ourselves. They seem to be hot
house plants, and their entire education
and fashionable formation in the fashiona
ble ladies' academies is on the forcing sys
tenn. These pretty delicate pale faces ar
: met with not only in the capitals, but ia

ments and in the prairies among the Ind

/ THE WORD ''ELEGANr
The American ladies have also received
into their every day English language
many other French expressions which the
English employ rarely, or give a very DIFF
tercnt meaning to. Thus, they have a
remarkable propensity for the term ''ele-
CANT" 1t has grown one of their fayorite
words, which they incessantly repeat, and
whose broad and various application is no
little characteristic Of them English la
dies generally apply this word, borrowed
from the French, to articles of luxury, to
products of the lower branches OF art,
where it is in its place, and means SO much
as pleasing in exterior and form. English
ladies would never think of expressing
their pleasure with things of greater inter-
nal value, which must be gauged by
higher standard, by employing the trivial
expression very elegant. Only American
ladies do this they describe as elegant
tue toilet, and amiable behavior of their
beaux, equally with the garnish furniture
of room all glistening with ormolu and
enamel. For the pretty verses an admi-
rer lays at their feet, they have no higher
praises than that they are very elegant,
indeed. They also call the speech of a
high-standing political orator very elegant.
A flower in garden bed, the fragrant
lily, or the regal rose, is emily called by
them an elegant flower. Even picture
by Rafaelle or Correggio receives in the
outburst Of their enthusiasm, no other at
ribute; if they return from Switzerland.
and are asked what they have seen amid
the Alps, they praise the elegant scenery
of the mountains, This unlucky word,
and the more unlucky predilection for the
elegant which is met with at every step
among American ladies, is 50 deeply rooted
in them, that they have extended the ter
ritory of the word to extraordinary lengths,
both upwards and downwards. For in
stance, going downwards, they will talk Of
an elegant dish they have eaten and GO
ing upwards, what we call good or clas-
steal taste. is generally characterized by
them as an ELEGANT taste.

with his liberal contribution of money TO

one among the first to offer his individual
services in the field, and was among the
brayest of the brave on the bloody hills of

LITERARY LADIES.

The town libraries. museums, obserya-

tions-localities in which among ourselves
only book-worms, antiquarios, and other
originals are seen among the saralls-are
visited by crowds of ladies, who futter
through them, They are the terror of the
librarians and friends Of literature. who
wish to bury themselves in their studies.
To please the ladies all such institutions in
the United States must, like the ladies
themselves, assume Tery elegant garb,
and much money must be laid out for stri-
king curiosities, which are speedily brought
into wretched condition by the numerous
fingers, and by the ladies digging valua-
bic specimens with their parasol ferrules.
Very naturally they bring with them to
these consecrated spots their beaux, and
carry on their firtations there, as if they
were at an evening party. They take the
observatories by storm, and compel the
polite astronomer, who is prevented from
making serious observations, to point out
to them Jupiter's satellites or Saturn
rings. But even in the presence Of The
planets. which should fill them with sa
cred awe, they do not break off fer mo
mcnt the thread of their firtations. Unhap
