THE JEALOUSY OF GIRLs.-Girls,
says Every Saturday, are awfully
jealous of each other. We should
call this the girls distinctive fault.
See them when they are introduced,
or when they first meet at n ball or
crouquet party; see how coldly criti-
cal they look at each other, how in
solently their eyes rove over every
portion of their rivals dress; read in
their faces the outspoken scorn as the
result of their scrutiny: "You think
you have done it very well, but you
have made fright of yourself, and /
am much better than you" Watch
their disdain of the more admired
among them, and how excessively
naughty for attracting SO much atten-
ton they think that Ada or Amy
about VIII ON the young men cluster.
How bold she Is! how overdressed
she Is! how affected she Is and oh
how ugly she is! Sometimes, If they
are deep, they will overpraise her en-
Enthusiastically; but the ruse Is gen.
orally too transparent to deceive any
one, and simply counts for what ii
is-a clever felt that doesn't answer.
1t Is quite a study to watch the way
in which girls shake hands together,
or take hands in dances. The limp,
cool, impertinent way in which they
they just touch palms, then let their
arms fall as if paralyzed, tells vol
ume to those able to read the letter
ing.

posture. Everything else pertaining
to the institution is made public, SO
that the objections to Odd Fellow
ship as q secret society are INVALID
As well inveigh against the merchant
the manufacturer, or the family cir
Gle, for having and keeping secrets.
The Odd Fellows are an intelligent
enterprising, progressive class of citi-
zens. They have their literature,
their lecture associations, their in
surance companies, and their elemo-
synary and educational institutions.
Their principal magazine--the Off
cial organ of the Order, is published
In this city by John w. Orr, p. g. NJ,
the well known engraver. 1t is call
ed the American Odd Fellow" and
Is publication that would do credit
TO any society or Institution eXtant.
The American Odd Fellow" is very
extensively circulated, and Is doing
much toward disseminating the prin-
ciples of the Order among the unini-
tiated. Some of the libraries of the
fraternity are large and valuable, q
number of them containing from
10000 to $4,000 volumes each. There
are in various States Odd Fellows
colleges and schools for the gratuit-
GUS tuition of the children of deceas-
ed brethren. The Order i'm Kentucky
is now raising S250,0OO for the laud-
able purpose of founding Widows
and Orphans University in that
State. ~, ..., Is. .r... .. ..
The semi-centennary anniversary
of the introduction of the Order into
America is to be magnificently COM
memorated on the 26th of April next.
The memorable occasion will be OBJ
served in every place where Odd Eel
lowship. Is established, and a grand
national celebration under the aus
pices OF the Grand Lodge of the
United States will take place in Phil
adelphia, i'm which affair it is esti-
mated that from 40, 900 to 50, 900 mem
bers of the Order will participate.
Odd Fellowship comprises citizens
of every rank, sphere, and station in
life. Every honorable profession and
vocation Is largely represented there
in, and the society Is indubitably a
power for good in the world. The
circumscribed limits of a newspaper
article will not admit of an exhaust
i've erpose of the principles, purposes,
operations, and achievements of this
great society; indeed, volumes might
be devoted to this fruitful theme
Suffice it to say here that Odd Fell
lowship Is yet in its relative infancy,
and its destiny is to accomplish Won
ders in the elevation of human char
acter, and in the amelioration of the
condition of the family of man.-
Every well-wisher of his kind will
bid it God-speed in its noble work.

" M for Mamie and BIZ for Ben:
! see them DOW ae I saw them then,
On the bark OF the oak-tree wed.
She sat waist-deep in the clover white,
And the liquid gold Of the June sunlight
Swept over her sweet young head. ..
Ana stood carving the letters twain,
That time and tempest have all In vain
StIiven TO blur and blet;
They live in the oak-tres's dusky grain,
Stamped as their mendry on my brain,
Changing and fading not.
Oil the vows that vowed that day,
Their broken shards inlmy bosom stay,
Wounding it hour byt hour.
Could be false to one so true,
Dared be cruel, my 1--we, TO you,
Mamie, my lily fowarl
Ere the snow had whitdned those letters twain
In the old church porch you hid your pain,
As my bride and pissed by;
Your eyes were brave Bbut your cheek grew
The cheek should hst pillowsd tina. night
Where it never nOwlnsy lie. 49,
Little Mamie, you are;at rest,
The butter-cups growing over your breast
Close by the grave ard gate;
But, ali I live 10 ruefthe day
Gold tempted my steps from love away,
And mine Is the sadder fate.
For I'd give the rest OF my life tonight
To see you sit In the clover white,
The sun on your locks of gold,
And carve once more, as carved them men,
{" N " for Mamie and " B F" for Ben,
On the bark Of the osk.tree old.

one, either theatrical audiences must be taken as
q class by themselves, holding opinions and tastes
different from that Of the ordinary public; or, on
the other hand, we must believe that the majority
Of spectators in theater are the representatives
Of the public and that they half-hearfily deprecate
exhibitions which they in reality enjoy. The lat
ter alternative we. consider to be the true one.
What is the tone whichsociety adopts with regard
to this scantness Of dressf-M Men, BY themselves,
laugh ct It. think II rather odd and humorous: anc
20 70 see it. Women, by themselves, wonder Of
II. curious about it, and go to seeit. Men and wo-
men, talking together. say IL Is very improper,
allow Of, much less relish, such an exhibition.
The same Journal, in an article on the semi
nude, p makes the following observations:
Managers make . profound blunder Who sup
pose that the more the person q s ballet gu,
rule, ballet girls are not beautiful; and but Tor
their artistic dress and groupings, would be re-
msrkably poor show. As poses ptdstiqtes they
would be failures. That the mere denudation o!
10. of coarse women should be attractive may be
q disastrous deduction from the obvious pleasure
which, ct present, theatrical audiences exhibit
over the exhibition Of picturesquey curtaled bur
lesque costumes"
The lord chamberlsin's warning is really appro-
pirate and timely; for II may cause some man.
sgers to avoid this false conclusion. The majority
Of the people who constitute theatrical audiences
like 10 see girls in "boys' parts" especially IN
burlesque they are fond OF looking At good legs
and green satin boots they think more OF the
geures and faces Of the actresses than Of the
authors puns-an excusable preference; and they
rather deprecate, but decidedly enjoy. the appear
ance OF q smart, and pretty, and lively girl, who,
with the concurrence Of the manager, chooses 70
pay Gauymede in the costume OF Gsnymede. II
may be all very wrong certainly but 1t IS not
wholly the fault Of the managers and the actresses
The former, however, would do well toremember
that the public does occasionally wake mp to Q
sense of propriety; and when II does. Is apt 70
seize upon The nearest scspegoam fof me expn-
ton Of its own crimes. The public loves pretty
and semi.nude burlesque actresses-it does not
love ugly and semi-nude ballet girls; and the ex-
cessive appearance Of the latter may pave the
way for the abolition Of the former. IL is low
level upon which to put the question-snd, indeed
we have said nothing whatever as to the origin
and tendency Of this popular taste II is upon
this level that the question as to the clothing oil
of stage performers will ultimately be settled be
tween managers and the public.

Jefrson.-Dear Sir: have TO acknowledge the
receipt of yours Of March 4, and TO express 70
YOU the delight with which I found the Just, dis
Interested and honorable point Of view In which
you saw the proposition 1t covered. The resolu-
ton you SO properly approved had long been
formed in my mind, The public VIII never be
made to believe that the appointment OF re ati7e
4 made on the ground Of merit alone, uniniuenced
by family. views, nor can they ever see with ap-
probation Offices, the disposal Of which they In.
trust TO their presidents for public purposes, d.
vided out as family property. Mr.. Adams de-
graded himself infinitely by his conduct on this
subject, as Washington had done himself the
greatest honor. With two such examples TO pro.
coed BY should be doubly inexcusable to err. II
Is true this places the relations of the president In
q worse situation than II be were stranger; but
the public good. which cannot be effected II its
confidence be lost, requires this sacrifice. Per
haps, too, It il compensated by sharing u the
public esteem. ! could not be satisfied till a.
sured you Of the increased esteem with which this
transaction flls me for you. Accept my affection.
