The following aphorisms on love are com
municated to the Galaxy: Women like men
who fiatter them; but love those who despise
them. Every man, by the general law, loves
all women; all women love one
man. Men are by nature pOlygamists
women, monogamists. Magnificent lovers
make wretched husbands, and excellent hus-
bands the worst Of lovers. Women become
attached to men not for what men do for
them, but what they do for men Gratitude
payes the way to their esteem, but selfshness
opens the road to their love- The smallest
tenderness outweighs with a woman the
greatest sacrifice. She win forget the hero
who would die in her behalf, for the mere
gallant who would give her caresses, and
nothing more. When women's hearts are
touched they are all kindred; the merest
dowdy then becomes the sister of the proud
est duchess Women desire to love,
primarily, and men to be loved; hence,
women idealize, and men analyze, the objects
Of their affection. If a woman viii not love
you, make her hate you, and she is half
yours for hate is too unnatural to her to
last, and its first rebound is tenderness, and
al. TIE second passion. Men love women wnom
they do not, and women never love men
whom they do, understand Forever
in the rhetoric of a womans affection, is
sentimental hyperbole meaning a period of
exactly two months

Sugar Crop Of Louisiana. The Thibo-
qeaux Sentinel of December 7th SAYS: at
is generally believed that the sugar crop of
this parish will not be as large this year as
last, Notwithstanding the increase in the
number of acres cultivated is considerable
The quality, however, Is superior to any crop
ever before made here. This great improve
ment is attributable to the almost universal
use of the fumes of sulphur in clarifying
the juice The cotton and corn crops are
very poor. The rice crop would have been
excellent but for the storm Of the 4th of
October. Even as it was we learn that more
rice will oe made than has ever been pro
duced in any previous year. The sweet po-
tatOe crop is excellent.
The storm above mentioned injured the
orange crop considerably, yet we learn that
the product of this delicious fruit will be
very considerable, and large shipments have
been made already They sell here at from
IS to Sl0per thousand, and retail in Houma
at 81 so hundred The banana crop is
the best we ever saw. They retail at SIS to
So hundred 1t is supposed that the cult
walton of this nutricious fruit will receive
such attention as to make it q source Of in
come.

FrightfuJ Butcheries m China-A cor
respondent of the San Francisco Bulletin
says of the late Tapping rebellion in China:
One district is described which yielded
10000 chests of tea per annum before the
war, and is now desert waste. & belt of
land 400 miles long by 200 miles wide is
literally without any inhabitant. A distin-
guished China traveller and savant estimates
the loss Of life by the Tapping war at about
100000; but intelligent Chinese l have
conversed with say that 100000, 600 were
killed or persisted from. starvation. There
was not much to choose on either side.
Whether Imperial or Tapping, the victorious
party put men, women and children to the
sword. The Grand canal used to be chOked
with dead bodies, and have seen the swift
flowing Yangtze crimson with the blood of
all ages. sexes and conditions In life.

''From here we steered direct for the

many kindnesses shown, and promise, il
ever he visits Lansing, to do our utmost to
entertain him and make his stay with us

their integrity from the first bankers Of
each city. Knowing Mr.. s. SO long and

RE~rIcENcE.-The Chicago platform. adopted by
and with the consent and advice of the party leaders,
is generally admitted to be essentially omissive on
the most prominent of the live issues. It lodges ne
gro suffrage lodges the greenback redemption ques-
ton, says nothing Of the national bank system, and
is entirely reticent on many other important points.
There would be less cause to complain Of this If their
candidate was a man of sufficiently outspoken, posi-
tive character to relieve the indefinitness referred to.
But he is not. He is more ambiguous than the plat
form. No one can tell whether or not he favors an
increase or contraction of the currency; whether he
is in favor of q gold or greenback redemption OF the
$50 bonds; whethe he is in favor of the cotton tax
whether he goes for or against negro suffrage
whether he favOrs the continuation of the freedmen's
bureau; whether he approves or disapproves OF the
large standing army TO protect negro suffrage
whether he Is in favor of equal or classified taxation.
On all these points he Is as dumb Is though he had
no power to speak.
But the man and platform are admirably adapted
to each other. The one has not the manliness Ia
come out before the world, while the other was made
by men too hypocritical to convey any definite idea
Of what they intend doing. The platform was made
for the man, and the man will find he has been
measured for q political coffin instead Of o presiden'
tial outfit. His political pall-bearers will be the pi
ratical crew who have been for the past year aggine
him on to the oblivion which awaits him.

LADIES FRIEND AND GoDEY's BooK.-We
are in receipt of Cooley and the Ladies'
Friend, both handsome Magazines, and
beth popular with the ladies of the home
circle ; both eminent in their live, hand
some pictures, fashion plates superb, and
9verrun with choice reading, receipts, &c.,
&c. CANDoR tells us to say that We read
neither Of them, but the crinolined per-
suasion remark in our hearing, show
beautiful" and from this we get our cue.
The July Nos of each are pretty in pic
lures and chgravings, and doubtless valua-
bic in prose and poetry, but beyond the
pictures We know nothing. The. Friend
sends US a 80 line (our columns) editorial
puff to insert, and it calls itself the 'sQueen
OF the Monthlies." The puff space we
should ask 81 for, a~tleast, while the Friend
is sold at $3.50 per club rates. or $3.50
single, with q steel engraving annexed.
We can't do it. Besides We don't believe
it all. Cooley is our "Queen of the
Monthlies," and has been for years. It is
the Oldest, the most pages, costs the most,
employs Q wider range Of talent, and.is,
outside Of envy, the most artistic publica-
ton in America. We are always ready to
say few words for such publications, but
the devotion Of q column Of the TINES to
what some editors call "Ous Literary
Table, is too heavy, particularly when
you can buy the books and Mag.'sdescrib-
cd for . half the cost Of space, time and
eroofreading. We are ready to send for
subscriptions for both, but we uM not
write monthly notices worth three or four
dollars space, when We can buy Maga-
Iines. 81
