SocIETY.-The pleasure of society depends
more upon women than men. Gentlemen
expect to be entertained, cnldren are out OF
the question, and therefore it rests upon wo-
men wat society shall be. The pleasure OF
an evenings entertainment is graduated BY
the capacity of the hostess to interest her VS.
itors ia eacl other and make them forget that
their own identity is to be lost in the efforts
to make every one at ease. This is the great
sectet of true enjoyment. Some ladies will
enter a drawinS-room or social circle, where
every persons nelghbor appears like an, ice
berg, and the whole atmosphere is chilly and
constrained, and, by their genial nature ant
well-timad playlulness, throw sunshine anc
warmth all over the room, till all comminelt
ia that easy and yet lignifed cordially thai
characterizes true gentiiity. -

Manly courage, fortitule, and selfdenial,
will triumph over the greatest ills. The storm
will soon blow over and the sun of prosperity
again blaze in the heavens with cheerful effui-
gence; and then those who have held out
with indomitable firmness, will be prepared to
reap the advantages of the new order OF
thiags. A stout heart will keep the body Wig
orous, the heath good, and chase away the
blues; while despondency will wreck not only
fortune, but mind and body also. All that
the luckie,t of us get in tnis world is on keep
