Flirting.

Some women are able 10 hirt with inn
punity 10 an extent which would simply
destroy any one else. They Airt with
the most delicious frankness, yet for all
practical purposes keep their repute in
tact. They have the art Of making the
best of two worlds, the secret Of which
is all their own, yet which causes the
weak TO stumble and the rash 10 fall.
They ride on two horses at once, with a
skill as consumate rs their daring; but
the feeble sisters who follow after them
slip down between, and come TO grief and
public disaster rs their reward. IL is
vain to analyze the terms on which this
kind of privilege is founded. Say that
one pretty person takes the tone Of uni
versal relationship-that she has an H.
limitable fund Of sisterliness always at
command for a host of "dear boys" Of
her own age, or, when a little older and
drawing nearer to the borders of mature
sirenhood, that she is kind Of scumen-
ical aunt 10 a large congregation Of we'll
looking nephews--she may steer safely
through the shadows Of this dangerous
coast, and land at last on the terra frma
of a respected old age; but let another
try it, and she goes TO the bottom like a
stone. And yet the first has pushed her
privileges as far as they will go, while
the second has only played with hers; but
the one comes triumphantly into port
with all colors flying, and the other makes
shipwreck and is lost. And why the one
escapes and the other goes down il a mys-
terry given to no one 10 fathom. But 50
it is; and every student of society j.
aware Of this strange electricity Of privil-
eye with certain pretty friends, and
must have more than once wondered at
Mrs. Grundy's leniency 10 the fragrant
sinner on the right side Of the square,
coupled with her severity 10 the lesser
naughtiness on the left. The flirting form
Of privilege is the most partial in its limi-
tations Of all; and things which one fair
patentee may do with IMMUNITY, retain
ing her garlands, will cause another 10 be
chastised with scorpions; and no one
knows why or how the difference is made.

From the Baltimore Gazette. May

FROM the Baltimore Gazette, May II.
A man named Shuman, residing in
South Baltimore, has of late entertained
an idea that his wife does not love him
with that ardor which should character.
lie wife for her husband, and in order
to test her affection for him, he on We'd
nesday penned note TO her i'm which he
stated that he had insured his life for
81, 900, and that she could collect the
insurance when he ceased to live, which
event would transpire ere she read the
note, as he intended TO drown himself in
the Spring Gardens at Ferry Bar bridge
The letter was handed 10 a small boy
with the request that he deliver il into
the hands of Mrs. Shuman, but the boy
mistaken the directions given him left the
note at the house Of a friend of Mrs. :.
The friend read the note, and naturally
supposing that suicide was premeditated
by Shuman, she called Policeman Blunt
ing and impaired to him her suspicious.
The policeman Immediately started for
Ferry Bar, and when near that structure
discovered Shuman walking leisurely
toward the water. The officer called TO
Shuman TO halt for a moment, but in
stead of complying with the request, he
ran upon the bridge, where he calmly
awaited the coming of the officer, who,
without entering into n conversation
conducted Shuman TO the station,
house, and on the way there the
supposed would-be suicide and his per-
server were followed by large crowd Of
adults and children who had heard of the
contents of the letter, and which had
been promulgated by the lady who re-
ceived it. Shuman, after being taken TO
the station-house, explained that he had
no intention Of drowning himself, but
that he had sent the note to his wife for
the purpose Of ascertaining how she would
be affected by the news. Captain De
lany therefore ordered his release. After
quitting the station-house Shuman return
ed to his home expecting to find his wife
in Mysteries, but was disappointed. On
the contrary, she was as composed as a
person could be, and appeared surprised
that her husband had not drowned him
self as he promised he would do.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1t is said by good medical authority
that there is not the remotest corner or
little inlet Of the minute blood vessels Of
the human body that does not feel some
wavelet from the CONFUSION Occasioned
by good hearty laugh, and also that
the central man" or life principle is
shaken TO its innermost depths, sending
new tides Of life and strength 10 the sur
face, and thus materially tending 10 in
sure good health to the persons who in
dulged therein. The blood moves more
rapidly-probably caused by some chem
ical or electric modification occasioned
by the convulsion-and conveys a differ
ent impression to all the organs of the
body as it visits them on that particular
mystic journey, when the man is laugh
ing, from what it does at other times.
For this reason every good hearty
laugh in which persons indulge tends TO
lengthen his life, conveying, "a il does,
new stimulus to the vital forces. We
doubt not the time will come when ply
sicians, conceding more importance then
they do to the influence Of the mind
upon the vital forces of the body. will
prescribe to the torpid and melancholy
patient certain number of hearty peals
of laughter, to be undergone at stated
periods, and believe that they will, in 50
doing, find the best and most effective
method of producing the required effect
upon the patient. Our advice to all is,
indulge in good hearty, soulful laughter,
when the opportunity offers, and II you
do not derive material benefit therefrom,
charge us with uttering false principles
