to give herself to others, are some of the
reasons, among Others, why the society OF
cultivated, agreeable woman OF certain
age is sought by those men to whom women
are more than mere mistresses or toys. Be
sides, she is u good conversationalist. She
has no pretentions to any special or deep
learning-for, if pedantic, she is spoilt as a
siren at any age-but she knows little
about most things; at all events she knows
enough to make her q pleasant companion,
aud able to keep up the ball when thrown.
And men like To talk to intelligent women.
They do not like to be taught or corrected
by them, but they like that quick, sympa.
thetic intellect which follows them readily,
and that amount of knowledge which makes
q comfortable cushion for their own. And
a mature siren who knows what she is about,
would never do more than this even if she
could.
That mature sirens can be passionately
loved, even when very mature, history gives
US more than one example; and the first
name that naturally occurs in ones mind as
| the type of this is that of the two famous
Nnon de rEnclos. And Ninon, if a triAe
! mythical, was yet fact and an example,
| But not going quite to Ninon's age, we of
ten see women of forty, and upwards, who
are personally charming, and whom men
! love with as much warmth and tenderness
as if they were in the heyday OF liie--wo
men who count their admirers 10y dozens
and who end by making superb marriage
and having quite an Indian summer or 70
nance and happiness. The young laugh a.
this idea Of the Indian summer Tor Drldt
of forty five; but it is true; for neither ro
nance nor happiness, neither love nor men
tai youth, is u matter OF years; ana after al
we are only as o.d as we lee, ana celtalni!
no older than we look. All women do no
harden by time, nor wlther, nor yet corrupt
Some merely ripen and mellow and get en-
riched by the passage of the years, retaining
the most delicate womanllness-W Amos
said girishness-into quite old age, ant
blushing under their gray hairs while the.
shrink from anything coarse or vulgar o.
impure as sensitiyely as when they wer'
girls.
/ Another point with the mature woman il
that she is not jealous or exacting. Sht
knows the world, and takes what comes
with the philosophy that springs from
Knowledge. If she is of an enjoying nature
and she cannot be n siren else-she accept
such good as floats to the top without look
ing too deep into the cup and specuiatins
on the time when she shall have drained
to the dregs Men feel with her. If the.
entered on tender friendship with her
they know that there will be no scene, NJ
tears, no upbraidings, when an inexorabl
fate comes in to end their little drama, will
the inevitable wife as scene shilter. Indeed
she seems to have a private elixir of her own
which is not quite drained dry when sh
dies beloved and regretted, at three scor
years and ten; leaving behind her two
three old friends who were once her arden
lovers, and who still cherish her memory u
that of the finest aud most fascinating wo
man they ever knew-something which til
present generation is utterly incapable o
repeating.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Soldiers, Orphans.

The annual report of Colonel George F
Mcfarland, Superintendent of the Soldiers
and Sailors Orphan Schools Of this State,
contains some most interesting statements
relative to the care of these adopted chill
dren of the Commonwealth, and the cost,
progress and prospects of the system by
which they are supported. 1t states that
during the period embraced in the report
the orphans have enjoyed a remarkable de-
gree of health, and physical and mental de-
velopment. The total number in the forty
two school institutions Oen of which are
located in the city of Philadeiphia) in which
they are distributed. is 1880; 1872 of these
being girls, and 205S boys.
From comparison of the tables exhibi-
ting the statistics of the system during the
four years it has been in operation, it will
be discovered that the number of applca
tions rceived is diminishing rapidly each
year. Thus in very few years, this system,
having accomplished its noble work, will
cease TO exist.
Appended to the main report of Colonel
Mcfarland is one by Rev G. Coruforth, In
spector and Examiner OF the schools, and
another by Mrs. L. L. Hutter, Female In
spector and Examiner, both reports being
very interesting, and containing many i'm
portant suggestions relative to the care OF
the orphans. Mrs. Hutter states that dur.
ing the past year~he visited all the schools
and homes at least twice, some of them
three and four times. All of them during
the course of the year have undergone mark
ed Improvements buildings have been en-
larged and improved, to add to the comfort
of the children, and educational facilities
have been multiplied Mrs. Hutter's report
I is very full in. relation to the physical, edu
cational and moral condition of the girls
Respecting the religious education of thu
children, it is stated that they regularly at
tend Divine service, either in the schoo
building itself, or at some place of public
worship. Both boys and girls are brough
! up to habits of industry and mental exer
else, but not at the expense of the body
/ they ale allowed sufficient time for rest anC
recreation. AS result of the care whicl
is taken of them, under the auspices of tn
State, by the Superintendent and his tw
Assistants and Inspectors, the children ar
| approaching manhood and womanhoo
well prepared to encounter life's trials an
duties, and can reasonably be expected t
rank, in time, among the most useful an,
industrious members of the community.

Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1869-02-27

An American citizen, who was in the
Theatre of Villanueva, on the 22d ult., and
witnessed the riot ard massacre in the streets
of Havana that evening, says that the origin
of the outburst was the shooting of young
woman. He says "a very beautiful girl,
the daughter of Aldama, one of the wealth
lest and most noble of all Cubsns, wore
upon her left breast the American flag, with
the inscription, Long live the Republic of
Cuba upon it. When that stirring song
was being sung the whole audience rose and
cbeered this young woman, and as she arose
to acknowledge the salute-all eyes were now
bent upon her-a low, mean, cowardly Span
lard sho. her with revolver, killing her in
stantly. Two American gentlemen occupied
thebox adjoining Senorita Aldama, whose
names do not know, but one of whom,
seeing the pistol pointed at the young lady s
breast. drew his revolver, and second after
the Spania rd had fred, blew the top off the
head of the cowardly assassin. Instantly
the whole theatre was the scene of the great
est confusion, and the Spanish troops rushed
in and began firing upon the masses of the
huddled together, unarmed, innocent men
and women"
