DIR EATERS. -Secessionists-opc trait
ors-may be, to.a certain extent, respectable ;
but Northern dirt eaters, who pretend to
desire peace and Union which their South
ern friends spurn with loathing, are a race
of beings too contemplate to be worth de-
spising, too base and cringing to get angry
with. Had the Southern leaders ever shown
the least disposition to compromi and re-
main in the Union, there might be some
aplogv fer the course their Northern allies
have pursued; but, as it is, there is none
whatever And now, to see secessionists
and 9 Union Democrats uniting in oppo-
ition to the Government, stamps them all as
traitors to their country. To oppose the
policy of an Administration in time. of peace
is allowable and proper, if confined to argu-
ment; to oppose it when engaged in war
for the existence of the Government is
treason, gild it by what name you may.

A VALUABLE DIsCovERY.-A Scotch phys

ton, which he asserts has never failed in mis-
practice to prevent the Disagreement conse-

FEMIyoLoGY. "A queer gatherer of sta
tistics has made the discovery that the stout
er lady is. the more she rolls her eyes up
while waltzing. The smaller a lady is, SO
much the more does she affect sunflower ro-
settes, enormous founees, and extra sized or
naments. Diminutive ladies invariably ad-
mire giant-like gentlemen-and rice rersq.
Sensible, amiable, and conscientious young
ladies of gentle disposition, are invariably
fond of reading newspapers. Thissort make
the best wives Ladies who are greatly ad-
mired by their own sex are very seldom view

ladies speak of & ladies Beauties" and
.'gentleman's beauties If you walk up
the street with a boquet IN your hand, nine
women out Of ten will look attentiyely at it,
while not one man cut of twenty will notice
its existence. 1t is o curious fact that those
women who have made the most aequaintan-
ces during long course of years have by far
the best memory for faces and persons. Al
though women are supposed to be the TAXA
