VIII u Lady Ever be President.

We hope SO, if she is pretty. What
fun to be under petticoat government
without any immediate danger of u
broomstcli or scolding. Every good
looking chap would have chance for
office then. How glorious to be closet
ed alone with the fair executive Of the
nation, on business OF private and
confidential nature! The old custom
of kissing the hand might be revived /;
and from the hands to the lips isn' t
such u great distance, you know. The
Prcsideutess must be either a widow
or maiden lady 40 as TO give an um-
bitious fellow n chance. Her bust in
marble, aud her portrait on canvas,
would look well, displayed al over the
country, instead of some low-browed,
common. looking rooster, with studied
beard aud The air of 90 onery cuss.
Tho fair head of the nation would Of
course set all the fashions. Her ad-
minist-ation would insuguratc an era
Of love aud elegance, to the utter con-
fusion of dusty politics. Tho election
eeriug will be rich when two rival lady
candidates are up for the highest Office
in the gift Of tho people. Fancy one
Of them a plump, comely female, and
the other a lean, laok specimen of wo-
manhood. We should have torch
light professions. with banners bear
ing such notices as Full Bosoms
Forever, "Down with the Paint and
Powder" +" Hurrah for full Carriers
" No whithered Shanks.' Pretty
Ankles are tho Nations Bulwarks.'
No Cotton Breastworks for our
Uountrys Defences.' "To Arms, "
Brave. when they are fair. Dimpled,'
and SO on. At the polls, huge, placard'
would be everywhers seen. with such
inspiring legends as "Vote for ful
Corsets aud Lovely Women" "Givs

These will be high old days 10 the
history Of our republic, and may w
