Men End Women.

w nat is IL mat makes all LHoSe
men who associate habitually with
women superior to others who do
no. What makes that woman who
is cushioned and at ease in the So
ciety of men supe i,r to her sex in
general? Sur ly lecause they are
in the habit of free, graceful, contin-
ued conversation with the other sex.
Women i'll this way lose their trivol-
ity, their faculties awaken, their del
icacics and peculiarities uniol all
their beauty and captivation in the
spirit of intellectual rivalry. And
the men lose their pedantic. rude,
leclamatory aud su. len manner
The coin of the understanding
and the heart changes continually.
The aspnritics are rubbed off, their
better materials polished and bright
cned, and their richness, like the
gold, is wrought into the finer work
man>hip Ivy the fingers of women
than it ever could be by those of men.
The iron and steel of their characters
are hidden, like the character and
arnor of giant, by studs and knots
of good and precious stones. when
they are not wanted for actual war
/ fare.
