"Tis with our judgments. as our watches: none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own"
Because it is the lot of our common
humanity to differ as well as to err in our
opinions, we should cheerfully concede to
every man his own. We should not at
tack, much less prosecute any man for
his opinions. But the distinction between
erring men and erroneous opinions
should not be ignored for all that. 1t is
the weakness of many that they regard
every attack on their opinions, even
though it be with the weapons of sound
reason alone, as an attack on themselves.
And hence It is only with extreme diff
Guilty that an argument on any subject of
present and live interest can be carried
on without degenerating into an angry
quarrel. And such is the rule, rather
than the exception, when the subject is
political or religious, and grave issue
hangs on the result of the argument. 1t
is because the result can never mar or
make the man, that advocates can
wrangle and yet part friends, when theo-
logians or politicians turn ferocious and
too often become real enemies. The
more serious the issue the more virulent
the quarrel. But reason teaches in all
these cases that discussion should be
conducted so as to arrive ut some agreed
result. There is never sense in wrangle,
nor harm in an argument. And argu-
ments should be respected though the
devil use them for truth will prevail,
and it is more important to find it than
to find who teaches it He is a very
weak man who can never learn from his
enemy. We have seen two men back to
back arguing in opposite directions
Partisans can never agree, because the
selfish object Of each is not truth, but
triumph, at whatever cost TO truth. Po-
ltical opinions cannot harmonise, be-
cause want of integrity lies at the bottom.
When two honest men get together and
agree on their axioms, and then follow
them, without deviating, TO the result
they bring, we shall see an agreement so
rare as to seem abnormal Bat the opin
ions Of the million misled by villainous
falsehoods and actuated by prejudices,
unknown perchance to themselves, will
be uniformly wrong, and are not seldom
contemplate. The opinion of one man
may be worthy Of respect, but that Of the
many is ordinarily only worthy to be
despised.

Women at the Exposition.

A writer from the Paris Exhibit
ton has few words on the women who
are seen at the great fair. He says:
England sends us several misses, whose
specially consists in letting themselves
be courted by all the world, then finish
ing by marrying some rich and idiotie mo-
bleman. Russia sends princesses, created
and sent into the world for the express
purpose Of marrying artists Spain sends
guitar women, reported mOrose aud IN
worthy Of their reputation. Here the
eye rests upon an Italian, with black
eyes and purple black hair, and eoifed
with this graceful nezzdO, which is one
Of the most rayishing head dresses ever
invented by a coqueite. There is a
Swede, with golden hair and complexion
white as ivory, with indolent step and
dreamy eyes. A little farther, the blonde
German, melancholy, 70 be consistent to
national character. But among all, Il is
the Partisan who is the most feminine 81
all women. She is always invested with
charm peculiarly her own. She has
eyes made to see everything she has
cars made to hear everything; a mouth
made to say everything and in the mean
time, the man the most rude would never
dare TO address her otherwise than re-
specially. The Partisan is the woman
tie most dangerous and the most devoted,
the most ardent aud the most tickle, the
most spfrifuelie, aud the least instructed,
IN the entire world.
