The Women Of Men NOTelists and Men
of Momen NnKelisfS.

VI W pn4tu AuhtlietSs
The novels which treat of women
but are written by men may be rough
ly divided into three kinds: Those of
the old fashioned class, which recog-
nize in each woman a ministering an
gel lin lower life this sentiment is ex-
pressed by toasting: 1.-THE ladies, God
bless 'em !'l; those which depict wo-
men as irresistible but charming
tyTants, against whom it is homeless
TO contend, and TO whose apron strings
il is the best thing that can befall a
man that he should be securely tied :
the third sort show women as some-
times wicked and sometimes foolish
those who are wicked influence
men, those who are only foolish do
the same; so that diverse causes in
this Instance produce the same results,
aud IN any case We are doomed. But
II we turn to lady nOvelists, we find
them mercilessly Y exposing the silli-
ness, Httleness, aud Observation-Disclosures
Of their sex, while men are deified
either for their gigantic proportions,
their immense strength of will, their
supposed immunity, from fear. or
their horribly fascinating wickedness
and unscrupulOus slicentiousness. And
yet women are not all silly and empty
headed; we are not as a rule gigantic
in stature; our will, if the truth be
known, often vaciilates sadly, and is
at last made up by a series of minute
considerations quite out of proportion
with the magnitude Of the questions
sometimes involved and thOuo-h
some OF Us are wicked and some of US
are licentious, we are, alas few of US
in the least degree fascinating. Yet,
endowed tin print with these excel
lent qualities, women, whether virtu-
Gus, wicked, or only weak, are our de-
voted admirers and unresisting slaves,
not to say victims.-[PRll Mall Ca

WAR IMPRESSIONS

Were received all along the journey.
Germany is really a military nation,
and even in the line Of peace many
evidences of this might be SEEN
Most Of the large towns have fOrtifi-
cations of earth thrown up, and are
surrounded by stone walls.
At Mayence there is a large citadel
and many soldiers. Outside, also, il
has earthworks thrown up at favor
able points for the defence Of the
town. In some of the very small and
poor villages there are signs Cf a war

crumbling stone walls. They are still
what they were in the days when
Sallust wrote Of them, crude but
warlike.n But at this time there is
no limit to the military operations.
Every town of size had soldiers in it.
They were either stationed as regular
troops, or new recruits about to move
to the front. We passed train after
train on their way to the seat Of war.
At that point Of the Rhine nearest
Metz there was a great many French
prisoners to be seen. They were part
of the great army so lately surrender
ed, and were being conveyed to the
interior. They were conveyed in open
cars, and were well dressed, with the
exception of a few missing hats; most
of them sober and CarewOrn. There
were no manifestations OF abuse offer

When the train stopped. the baby was

OUR "PECR OF DIRT. 1T is a COM
mon saying, that We all must eat q
"peck Of dirt" but in this day oi
adulteratiOns we can consider our
selves lucky If we get off with that
amount. Southmayd. who takes a
delight in exposing the adulteration
of candy. tells some tough stories of
the extent which terra alba, kaOlin,
or white clay, Is used in the manu-
facture Of cheap candy. The clay is
very fine in grain, free from silex,
and Of a pure white color. It is said
to be valuable in the manufacture of
various grades Of earthen ware; but
as the tons and tons of il which come
North do not seem to go to porcelain
manufacturers il has been discovered
that it has become the standard sub
stance for the adulteTatiOn of soda,
cIeam tartar, calOmel, white lead, and
particularly the fancy candies with
which We are accustomed to peril our
lives. All this is very interesting. II
the American people have got the
bank of clay to eat before they can
have pure groceries or confectionery,
it viii be well to keep informed, from
time, to time, as to what progress is be-
ing made. Now that the thing is
spoken of, many persons will remem-
Der, no doubt, that in eating pulver-
lied sugar, bon-bOns, and especially
white candies, there Is frequently left
in the mouth something clammy and
insoluble, with a taste similar to the
slate pencils we used to nibble in our
schOol-days. That must be the "kao-
linz we hear of.

THE CHRONICLE.


A storm-tossed ship went down.
In the fierce and angry main.
And with all its precious freight OF souls
II can ne'r come back again
The lips We have kissed. the waves have
In the calm embrace OF the oceans breast
Der the marble brow that was once so fair
The sea-monster riots at pleasure there.
And the glossy curls OF the shining hair,
Are matted, and dark meath ocean foam,
And the sparkling eye hath its lustre lost,
an death's darkness gone out the light OF
our home.
And the waves Ofthe ocean. their requiem
chant,
And its tossing biIlows outspread,
Above their briny resting place,
A palace OF the dead.
Aye, down in the depths OF the deep,
Where the sea monster revels at will,
And the mermaid disports in the coral
graves,
Their pulseless hearts lie stTu.
And the waves their shrouds have wrought
OF diamond. ruby and pearl,
Inlaid with the gems Of the ages past
A kingly burial.
While the hast'nlng years 20 on,
As the rivers to the sea,
Yet that ship with its freight OF human
souls,
Can Heuer come back 10 me.

and determined to go Immediately to
