The Two SExEs.-The following true
ond interesting paragraphs are extracted
from an article by Mrs. Sigourney whose
mind was the dwelling of life and beauty
Man mi ght be initiated into the varie-
ties and mysteries of needle-work taught
to have patience with the feebleness and
waywardness of infancy, and to steal with
noisless step about the chamber of the
sick gnd women might be instructed to
contend for the palm of science-to pour
forth eloquence in Senate, or to '' wade
through fields of slaughter to throne"
Yet revoltings of the soul would attend
this violence Of nature, this abuse of phys
ical and intellectual energy, while the
beauty of social order would de defaced
and the fountain of earthly facility be
broken.
We arrive, therefore, at the conclusion,
the sexes are intended for diHor1nt spheres,
and constructed in conformity to their re-
spective destination by Him who bids the
oak brave the fury of the tempest, and the
Alpine flower lean its cheek on the bosom
of eternal snow. But disparity does not
necessarily imply inferiority. The high
places of the earth with their pomp and
y g!oEy are indeed saeeasibIe i qalB If }p pbAW tbA
err yet those who pass with faithful and
unapplauded zeal through the humble
round of duty, are not unnoticed by the
Great Taskmaster's eye" and their en-
dowment, through accounted poverty
among men, may prove durable riches in
the kingdom Of Heaven.

A singular funeral cortege was observed
passing up College stree, in Nashville, last
Thursday. In all the long train Of car
riages, not man was to be seen, save the
drivers. This was explained by the fact
that the remains of one Of the demi-momde
were in the hearse. Her fallen sisters,
however, turned out in full force, and
sermon appropriate to the occasion was
preached by the pastor of one Of the Nash
vile churches, in accordance with the earn
estly expressed wishes.of the deceased.

THE BACHELORS DREAM.
By TON. HOOD.

My pipe is lit, my grog is mixed,
My curtains drawn and all is snug:
Old Puss is on her elbow chair,
And Tray is sitting on the rug
Last night had a curious dream.
Miss Susan Bates was Mistress Mogg-
What dye think of that my cati
What dye thing of that my dog!
She look'd so fair, she sang so WI. -
could but woo and she was won;
Myself in blue, the bride in white,
The ring was placed, the deed was done!
Away we went in chaise-and-fonr,
AS fast as grinning boys could fog
What dye think Of that my cati
What dye think of that my dogi
What loving tete-d-tetes to comei
What tete-d-tetes must still defer!
When Susan came to live with me,
Her mother came to live with her.
with sister Belle she couldn't part,
But all my ties had leave to jog
What dye think of that, my catl
What dye think of that my dog3
The mother brought pretty Poll
monkey,-too, what work he madei
The sister introduced beau
Ny Susan brought favorite maid.
She had tabby Of her own-
A snappish mongrel christened Cog
What dye think of that, my dog!
The monkey bit-the parrot screamed,
All day the sister strummed and sung:
The petted maid was such scold!
My Susan learned tn use her tongue:
Her mother had such wretched health,
She sat and croaked like any frog
What dye think Of that, my cat!
What dye think of that, my dogi
No longer Deary, Duck, and Love,
soon came down to simple "Mi"
The very servants crossed my wish,
Ny Susan letme 'lown to them.
The poker hardly seemed my own.
l might az well have been "A log
What dye think of that, my catl
What dye think of that, my dogi
My clothes they were the queerest shape!
Such coats and hats she never met!
My ways they were the oldest ways!
My friends were such vulgar set!
Psor Tompkinson was snubbed and huffed.
She could not bear that Mister Blogg-
hat dye think of that, my catl
What dye think of that, my dog!
At times we had spar, and then
Mamma must minele in the song
The sister took a sisters part
The maid declared her master wrong
The parrot learned to call me Fool"
My wife was like London fog
What dye think of that, my catl
What dye think Of that, my dogi
My Susan's taste was superfine,
As proved by bills that had no end;
never had decent coat
lnever had a coin to spend!
She forced me to resign my club,
Lay down my pipe, retrench my grog-
What dye think of that, my catP
What dye think Of that, my dog!
Each Sunday night we gave rout
To fops and flirts,-a pretty list;
And when tried to steal away
l found my study full of whistI
Then, first to come, and last to go,
There always was Captain Hogg-
What dye think of that, my catl
What dye think Of that, my dog!
Now was not that an awful dream
For one who single is and snug
With Pussy in the eldow chair,
And Tray reposing on the rug!-
If must totter down the hill,
'Tis safest done without a clog
What dye think OF that my cat!
What dye think OF that, my dogi

The NICoLsoN PAvEMENT-G Ia Journal.
There is good deal of inquiry as to
whether Old Boulder and Old Nicolson take
their tods regularly. 1t is claimed they
should be properly tarred on both ends to
prevent too rapid evaporation during the
hot weather. Song by the Journal local
"Give me the Chap with the tarry trows-
ers."
The people demand that the blocks in the
wooden pavement now being laid on High
street should be securely fastened down by
having a carpet tack driven firmly on each
corner. Leather headed tacks PREFERRED
(No allusion to the Journal.)
The Journal man has waited several
weeks for information. No danger of his
dying of "information on the BRAIN" we
suppose. All the information he got, was
a decided rebuff. Wonder what he done
with it? The tail of mouse is sticking out
between the blocks. The Journal man sees
it, and he sits all day on board pile with
pair of intellectual tongs in his hand,
waiting to make grab at it. VIII some
one show him where the fraud is. Let him
not burst in ignorance and rage.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The Railroad Con-
vention, which has been in session in this
city, has adjourned for one week without
nerfecting any tariff for through traffic to
the west.
An excursion train consisting of four
passenger cars, leaves on Monday, via. the
New Jersey Central railroad, for Chicago,
with 300 guests.
1t is stated that the Roberts Fenians are
making great preparations at the head
quarters, and little doubt is entertained
that an immediate campaign somewhere is
intended.
The Herald's special from San Francisco
says: Engineers of the Central Pacific
railroad have reported in favor of locating
the line north instead of south of Salt Lake
1t is eighty nine miles shorter and will cost
one-third less and passes through far better
country. The summit tunnel is nearly
through and will probably be open by
August 10Th.
