SplcE.-This department attracts con-
siderable attention, and from the fairer
portion of our readers more particularly,
thus verifying the provcrb, that a little
nonsense is a delicacy highly relished,
and by none more than those we esteem
the highest. Occasionally objections are
heard, but they are set down as old
fogyish, and the style Of variety still
pursued. This week We hear from q
lady, who says "the man who sprinkles
the spice on the ladies, must be-" but
We can't go further, and tell what she
thinks. Ladies are Certainly accom-
plished in the ant of putting 'this and
that" together, and making the most Of
little things, but in this case the miss. ID.
fully mile short of the mark, and we
will bet spool of Coates No. 36 cotton,
on it. Why, bless US, we love the la
dies, and delight only when in an at
mosphere made fragrant BY their pres
ence, and only 60 where they do most
congregate. Woman! "fairest OF crea.
tion, last and best of all Gods works."
in whose smiles We draw inspiration and
live, and - and - feed! to you We owe
everything, from the first breath to to
- the last button. Believe not, then,
that the spice box is opened with malice
aforethought, or with evil intent Oh
no, >~.-.x~--,- -
"He is parricide to his mothers name,
And with an impious hand murders hert
fame,
That wrongs the praise OF woman; thas
dares write
Libels on saints, or with foul ink requiss
The milk they lent u.s."
1t is only a way We have; true as ths
needle to the pole in all other respects,
in love, admiration and courtesy to tho
ladies, We are all that the most exacting
can desire but We acknowledge the lit
tie failing-a feminine one by the way,
and which we must have acquired
in our long and happy intercourse with
the sex-of saying one thing and mean
ing quite another; these ''sprinkhngs":
are but the birth of spirit of contraris--
ty, which the ladies will understand.
and forgive, in consideration too, when
they reflect that the human heart is per-
verse and very wicked at best, and not
withstanding this, that ours Is one of the,
most tender and affectionate. Our feel
ings overpower US so that it is impossi-
bic to dwell further on a theme so suis
of interest. Then here's a health 20
sweet woman, and a prayer that we bee
permitted, from time to time, to indulge
in little spice at their expense.
We continue to fill the space allosts&
this department with blessing on
THE GIRLS.
God bless the girls.
Whose golden curls
Blend with our evening dreams:
They haunt our lives,
Like spirit wives,
Or Naiads haunt the streams.
They soOthe our pains,
They fill our brains
" ith dreams of summer hours.
God bless the girls,
God bless the curls.
God bless our human flowers.
AS it would be a slight to overlook
the wives, here is blessing for ,henr
also: = W.T. :,
WIvES--TRUE WIVES.
God bless the wives,
They fill our hives
With little bees and honey:
They ease life's shocks,
They mend our socks, =:
But don't they spendths money!
When we are sick,
They heal US quick
That is. if they love us;
If not, we die,
And YET they cry.
And place tombStoneS above uE.
OfroguiSh girls.
With sunny curls,
We may in fancy dream;
But wiveS-true wives
Throughout our lives
Are everything they seem.
The ladies must not believe though,
that all of lite's blessings were destined
for them, and that none should be
showered on the lords of creation"
We therefore give shower from one Of
their own sex, one who appreciates rner-
it as can be seen. for she says -
GOD BLESS THE BOYS. ~.
God bless the boys,
Who thrill our joys,
With loving, tender kisses!
Who squeeze our hands
Or loose our bands,
Ofdowing silken tressesl ..-.,
Then romp and swing
Us, o'er the spring. :,
AdoEn the shady hollow;
IT'S all the same,
They're not to blame. .
Love leads and they but follow.
We conclude the chapter of blessings,
from one of like appreciativs ssnti.
mentS:
GOD BLESS THE MEN.
God bless the men!
We say amen!
Who bny US shawls aud dresses,
Or candied drops,
Or lemon pops,
Stand treat when heat oppressss!
The ducks and desrs,
We'll soothe their fears.
