assistance against the efforts of lleshait to

Clever Women.

There is an unaccountable antipathy to
clever women. Almost all men profess
to be afraid Of blue stockings-that is, OF
women who have cultivated their minds
and hold up as maxim, that there is no
safety in matrimony, or even in the ordi-
nary intercourse OF society, except with
females of plain understandings. The
general idea seems to be that dull ordi-
narv woman. or even fool, is more easi,
ly managed than woman of spirit and
sense, and that the requirements of the
husband ought never to De obviously in
ferior to those OF the wife. If these
PROPOSITIONS were true, there would be
some show of reason for avoiding clever
women. But am afraid they rest on no
good grounds. Hardly any kind of fool
can be so easily managed as person of
even first rate intellect; while the most Of
the species are much moro pntractable.
A dull fool is sure to be obstinate; obsti-
nate in error as we'll as in propriety; so
that the husband is every day provoked
to find that she will fully withhold him
from acting rightly in the most trifiing
and perhaps also the most important
things. Then the volatile fool is full of
whim and caprice, and utterly deffes ev-
cry attempt that may be made by her
husband to guide her Alright. In one case
his life embittered for days, perhaps, by
the sulkiness of his partner; in the other,
he is chagrined by the fatal consequences
of her levity. Are these results so much
to be desired, that man should marry
beneath the rank Of his own understand,
ing, IN order to secure them rather ap-
prehend that cowardice in this case, as in
most others, is only the readiest way to
danger. AS for the rest Of the argument,
I would be far from saying that to marry
woman much superior to ono's self in
intellect, is direct way to happiness. l
must insist, however, that there is more
safety for man of we'll regulated feel
ings, in the partnership of a superior
than of an inferior woman. In the for
mer case, I verify believe, his own under
standing is likely to be more highly esti-
mated than in the other. In the first
place, he is allowed the credit of having
had the sense at least to choose "a good
wife. In the second, he has counsel and
example always ss hand, for the improve
ment of his appearances before society.
The very superiority, however,, of his
wife insures that she will be above show
ing off to the disadvantage of her hus
band; she will rather seek to conceal hia
faults, and supply his Deficiencies, for her
own credit. Now, what sense fool has
she must always show it, even though
sure to excite, ridicule from its being SO
little.

THE. YOUNG: WIDOW.

She is cunning-sometimes witty,
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
hot too young, and not too old;
Half-inviting, half-repellant,
Now advancing, and now shy;
There is mischief in her laughter,
There is danger in her eye,
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in every art;
She has taken her diploma
Asthe mistress Of the heart!
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Oh, maid is sometimes charming,
But widow all the while
Are you sad? Oh, then, how serious
Will her pretty face become!
You are angry, she is wretched,
Sadden'd, friendless, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out!
She can lure and catch and play yous
AS an angler does trout.
All, cold fossils" nearly fifty,
Who are plotting, deep and wise;
Ee "Adonises" of twenty,
With the love-light in your eyes
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the taLl,
But I know little widow
Who can win and fool you all.

Singular Will.

Yesterday we heard of and read part
of the most singular will on record. The
maker OF the will is represented 10 be a
shrewd, successful business man, who has
accumulated quite large fortune. He
exhibits no other signs of insanity than
may be derived from the extreme 'eccen-
tricity of his wilE although it is probable
courts will, in due course, be called upon
to determine the question whether the
testator was of sound disposing mind.
The will disinherits all the natural heirs
of the maker of it, and devises the entire
property in trust for the establishment OF
an Infrmary for Cats. A most elaborate
ARCHITECTURAL plan for the necessary build
ing liz attached to and made part of the
will. 1t provides areas for that sweet
amatory converse SO dear TO the feline
heart, and rat holes of the most ravishing
nature, to be kept we'll stocked. Tho
most ingenious contriyances are provided
for securing to the rat chance for escape,
so that the cat may not lose the pleasure
of the chase by finding their prey come
too easily. High walls are to be built,
with gently shopping roofs, for the moon,
light promenade and other noctufap
amusements of the cats. The trustees
are directed to select the grounds for this
Infrmary in the most populous part OF
some American city, and the devlsees are
to be protected by competent force OF
nurses from the ravages of men and dogs.
No pereon of the male sex is ever to be
admitted within the walls, and no female
who has children or is under thirty years
old. There are hundreds of minute di'
rections which we have no time 10 note.
One would suppose that in the foregoing
provisions the testator had exhausted all
eccentricities of one man, however unique
his nature; but the last provision of the
will seems move estrageously bizarre than
any that 60 before. Says the devisor: 81
have all my life been taught to believe that
everything in and about man was inten-
ded to be useful; and that it was mans
duty, as lord of animals, to protect all the
lesser species, even as God protects and
watches over him. For these two
combined reasons-frst, that my body
even after death nay continue to- be made
useful and secondly, that it may be made
instrumental as far as possible in furnish
ling substitute for the protection OF the
bodies OF my dear friends, the cats-l do
hereby devise and bequcath the intestines
of MY body to be made up into fiddle
strings, the proceeds to be devoted to the
purchase of an ACCORDION, which shall be
played in the auditorium of the Cat In
Urinary by one of the regular nurses to
be selected for that purpose exclusively
the playing to be kept up forever and
ever without cessation day and night, in
order that the cats may have the privilege
of always hearing ard enjoying that in
struinent which is the nearest approach
to their natural voice"
If any journal can give us information
of more singular will than this; we
should like to hear ft.-Oh&o State Jour-
nal.
