Female Friendship.

1t is a wondrous advantage to
man in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible
woman. In women there is at once
d subtle delicacy of tact and a plain
soundness of Judgment which are
rarely combined to an equal degree
in a man. y woman, if she be really
your friend, will have a sensitive re
gard for your character, honor, and
repute. She will seldom counsel you
to do a shabby thing, for d woman
friend always desires to be proud of
YOU. At the same time her constitu
tional tinidity makes her more eau
tious than your male friend. She,
therefore, seldom counseIs you to do
an imprudent thing. BY female
friendships Imean pure friendships
those in which there is no admixture
of the passion Of love, except in mar
riage. \ mans best friend is a wife
of good sense and good heart, whom
he loves and who loves him. II lie
have that, lie need not seek else
where. But surprising the man to
be without such help mate, female
friendship he must still have, or his
intellect will be without a garden,
and there will be many an uuheeded
gap even III his strongest fence. Bet
ter and safer, of course, such friend
ships where the disparity of years OF
circumstances puts the idea of Love
out Of the question. Middle life has
rarely this advantage youth and Ole
age have. We may have female
friendships with those much oIde
and those much younger than our
selves. Moliere's old housekeepe

What Every Young Man Should Do

it, and to follow such advice, unless
his own Judgment or conviction,
properly founded, should otherwise

Courtsh'ps Of Great Men.

SIR ISAAC NEwToN.-Of the court
ship of this illustrious philosopher,
| have somewhere read an anecdote
although it is not to be found in sew
eral lives of him I have searched.
1t is well known he was often absent
minded that for example, he would
rise and sit for several hours by his
bedside undressed, and absorbed in
thought, that he would often forget
to dine until reminded by his domes-
ties, that to live It was necessary to
eat.
Once and once only he loved
young wolnan. One evening they
were seated by the fireside together.
He sat silently smoking. She was
too proud of his love to be offended
by his conduct. AT length he took
his pipe from his mouth, and seized
her hand. She expected that he was
about to kiss it. Instead of doing
so, however, be stirred the tobacco
in the head of his pipe with her fore,
finger-a rather odd substitute for a
pin! She was angry with him and
their cOIIrtship ended.
ELDoN.-The father of Lord Eldon,
the Chancellor of England, having
resolved to marry, rang his bell. A
female servant answered it. He
told her to dress herself, in order to
repair to the altar with him. She
thought he was jesting and disobey-
ed. He rang his bell again. A
second servant appeared. To her he
gave the same command. She at
tired herself and was made bride.
OCoNNELL.-Daniel O'Connell did
not court at all. He told his sweet
heart that he loved her; asked if his
love was reciprocated, or if she was
engaged and if she was willing to
make an engagement with him. The
young lady replied as frankly as he
questioned, and they were speedily
united for the better or worse.
ABERNETHY.-OfD DR.. John Aber-
nethy, one of the most eminent sur
geons and medical writer's of the last
century, several anecdotes are re-
corded. He was extremely eccentric,
or rather was extremely manly. He
acted and spoke always as nature
dllu llOl do CuSOOAl
To rich vaietudinarian gentleman,
he once said olive on a sixpence
day and earn )" and to lady
Of the same species who offered him
a fee, he said: +" Madam, keep your
money and buy a skipping rope.n
When he loved he still continued to
despise the forms with which society
ever seeks to cucumber the sayings
and doings of men. He did not
| waste his time in courting, nor did
) he PROSTATE himself as is usually the
case before the relatives of his Eve.
He met her in the streets, revealed
) his affections for her, and offered her
his hand. She accepted it, and he
immediately gave her purse, with
! orders to furnish house.
HALL, OF LEICESTER.-The Rev.
, Robert Hall, when on visit to a
, brother clergyman, went into a
kitchen, where pious servant girl,
whom he loved, was working. He
lighted his pipe, sat down, and asked
: her
"Betty, do you love the Lord
Jesus Christ ,"
II hope do sir" was the reply.
He Immediately added
"Betty, do you love met"
: They were married. Gilttllin's

Do your best, and never mind.

When the feelings are unkind;

Pass them on and never mild.
