THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING WOMAN
A woman says what she chooses without
being knocked down for it. She can take
a snooze after dinner, while her husband
goes to work. She can go into the street
without being asked to stand treat" at
every saloon. She can stay at home in
time of war, and get married again if her
husband gets killed. She can wear cor
sets, if too thick, and-other fixins, if too
thin. She can get divorced from her hus-
band, whenever she sees one she likes bet
ter. She can get her husband in debt all
over, until he warns the public not to
trust her OH his account. But all those
advantages are balanced by the great fact
that she cannot sing bass, go sparkling. or
climb tree, with any degree of propriety.

SLANG PnRAsEs.-Many are called slang
phrases that are really not so--for instance
he is a brick" or lyon are brick" &C.,
which originated thus: When an embas-
sador from Enirus went to Agesialaus, King
of Sparta he said to him "where on earth
are the walls of Sparta Other towns Oi
Greece have walls but where are yours ?"
The next morning Agesialus and his army
drawn up before the ambassador and with
exultng cheer said to his friend from Epi-
rus, "Look these are the walls of Sparta,
Sir and every particular man you see is
a brick" Thus il is shown that this slang,
so called, wherein one is called brick, is
really classical.

The TYPICAL NEGRo.-An Englishman, by
the name of w. Wnwood Reade has been for
several years past exploring central Africa -
HIS picture of the real African or typical ne
gro, is one that will not be altogether relish
ed by the miscegenationists of this country
He says "The typical negro, unrest rained
by natural laws, spends his days in sloth, his
nights in debauchery. He smokes haschis
till he stupefies his senses or falls into con-
vusions /; he drinks palm wine TIL he brings
on lothesome disease he abuses children !;
stabs the poor brute ofa women whose hands
keep him from starvation; and makes trade
of his own offspring. He swallows up his
youth in premature vice he fingers through
a manhood of disease aud his tardy death is
fastened by those who no longer care to find
him food. Such are the "men and brothers.
for whom their friends claim, not protection
but equality" ...

KEEP IT BEFORE THk SEoPLR,

The following resolutions passed the Cni-
ted States House Of Representatives, Rebea.
sry llth, 1861, by nearly unanimous vote:
Resolved, That neither the Federal CIV:
ernment nor the people or governments of
the non.slavehoIding States have q purpose
Constitutional right to legislate upon orin,er.
iere with slavery in any of the States Of the
Union.
Resotred, that those persons in the North
who do not subscribe to the foregoing propo.
sitions are too Insignificant in numbers and
influence to excite the serious attention or
alarm of any portion Of the peopis Of the Re-.
public, and that the increase of their mum.
bers and influence does not keep pace with
the increase Of the aggregate Population d of
the Union.
Congress, by vote nearly unauimous
passed the following resolution, on the extra
session of 1861. which expresses the voics
ofthe nation, and this is the true standard
of loyalty:
THAT the present deplorable civil war haa
been forced upon the country by the disun.
ionsts of the Southern States, now in arms
against the constitutional Government
and in arms around the capitol that in this
national emergency, Congress, banishing oil

defend and maintain the supremacy of The
Constltuton,a and to preserve the Union, with
the dignity, equality. and rights of the sever.

these objects are accomplished the war ought
