A CHAPTER ABOUT MEN AND WO-
MEN.
BIZ EMMA NAY.
Women who are charming to men are
enough; it is sure tcst of beauty
Of character that woman is admired and
loved by woman"
do not know the author of the above sen.
tence, nor do care to know. do not be.
lieve it! Did you ever know woman
who seemed charming in the eyes of any
man for ten consecutive years? Men like a
woman At little boys admire tin horse and
and cart-until the bright colors are worn
of, when such are cast aside and some new
divinity comes in for promised everlasting
alteration. It's worth visit to Brigham
Young's dominions to see hon amiable such
least offs can be. But there is rot the
least necessity for reversing deserts or
through Indian territory to fi.d out the i'm
Projections or goodness Of women. A wo-
man loved and admired by some othes femi-
nine is not an impossibility; and it mus,
have been some Grabbed cid bachelor who is
not expected to know either wolnans fiailties,
or her host Of pcrfecsions, who vcntured the
assertion that women are ever anything to
eaoh oth,r only source of disquitude, jeal-
ousy and vexation Of spirit That they'll
smile sweetly and be very gracious, but at
the same time are whetting their incisors to
give sharper than serpents sting the first
good opportunity. Haven't been behind the
curtain these many years, and don't know
the highth and depth of woman's peculari-
ties and follies =? Thank Heaven, that there
are some splendid exceptions to the rule :;
but such are almost invariably the wives of
quack doctors who soak their patients feet
in becf's broth, and give them hemlock
sweats for every ache ard i'll; or of
decayed preachers who from the foundation
of their lives have seemed pufIed I'D cuti.
Gle ofvanity and csotsm, or worse still, law
yers whose brain is only milionth part as
large as the Uranium which enc!oses it.
There is now and then dilapidated Senator
who is addicted to snutf-taking or wine drink
distinguished politician having a
wife, good, handsome and intelligent enough
to carry the hearts of brother Senators BY
storm, did not the honorable gentleman in
question impress it upon the mind cfAa wife
that it was himself and not her whom the
good people of certain locality hosted into
the chair Of state lie is the lord of the
manor, but if more honor is heaped upon him
than he can well carry, the wife is at liberty
to gather up the scattered bits with which
she is expected to cover herself. The Sepa.
tor will not compromise his dignity more
than to offer his other-half his arm to escort
her to the levees, and present with a gracious
air T" Mrs. Peabody" to the very charming
wives Of the President and cabinet makers" /"
Women by some strange freak; or perchance
through the agency of tho emperor Of the
lower empire, have never yet found their true
place-there to-. remain in statue quo. Since
Adams time she has either been lifted up to
the seventh heaven, or cast down to the low
est depths. She has either been perched
On the summit Of some mountain, or has
burrowed in . cavern miles beneath it.
Speaking Of Adam, he after all is the
prime cause Of all the elevations and nom
elevations, of all the sins of commission and
omission since the world began. 1t makes
ne desperate to think of him, standing up
here beforeShis Maker, with all the conceit-
sdness Of first creation" and casting off
rom his own broad shoulders the big burden
% put it upon the weaker form Of the "rib Of
lis rib which3a benchcsnt Creator had
blessed him with. "The woman whom Thou
yavest to be with me, she gave me of the
rec, and did eat" Every time think Of
Adam and of some Of his "Adamses'' I feel
Inclined to disown my ancestry. Better be
! stray waif than belong to the FIRST families
sho claim0 such pedigree! Eve was pecu.
iarly tempted by huge, subtle serpent
which frightened the woman o,t Of goodly
hare Of her wits, and then capped the eli.
max by assuring her that death would not
'e the penalty Of disobedience, but that she
would be wise and knowing If she should
'nce taste Of the forbidden fruit. Adams
wife didn't even ask her husband to partake
doubtless she had IN idea that wisdom !
night be becoming to her-but Eve did give
Adam an apple, and he, more pliable than
ome of his sons, ate the same with gusto,
zeeping up an incessant thinking al Of the |
ime, and wondering how he could best get |
himself out Of the trap. O Adam that you !
hould thus set precedent for all coming
