A DEFENCE OF PRETTY WoMEN.-After
all is the world so very absurd in its love of
pretty woman? Is woman so very ridiculous
in her chase after beauty? pretty woman is
doing q woman's work in the world, but not
making speeches, not making puddings but
making life SUMMER and more beautiful. Man
has foresworn the pursuit of beauty altogether.
Does he seek it for himself, he is guessed to
be frivolous, he is guessed to be poetic, there
are whispers that his morals are no better than
they should be. In society, resolute to be ugly,
there is no post for all Adonis, but that OF
model or guardsman. But woman does for
mankind what man has ceased to DO. her
aim from childhood is to be beautiful. Even
as schoolgirl she notes the progress OF her
charms, the deepening color OF her hair, the
growing symmetry of her arm, the rlpening
contour of her cheek. We watch, with silent
interest, the mysterious reverles OF the maiden;
she is dreaming of coming beauty, and pant
ing for the glories of eighteen. lnsensloly she
becomes an artist, her room is studio, her
class an academy. The joy of her toilet is the
ioy of Raphael over his canvas, of Michael
Angelo over his marble. She is creating bcau
ty in the silence and the loneliness of her
chamber; she grows like any art-creation, the
result of patience, Of hope, of thousand del
icate touchings and rctouchings. Woman is
never perfect; never complete: A restless
night undoes the beauty of the day; sunshine
bl1rs the evanesccnt coloring of her check,
frost nips the tender outlines of her face into
sudden harshncss. Care ploughs its lines
across her brow; motherhood destroys the elias
tic lightness of her form; the bloom of her
check the quick flash of her eye fade and van
ish as the years go by. But woman is still true
to her ideal. She won't know when she is
beaten, and she manages to steal fresh victories
even in her defeat. She invents new concep-
tons of womanly grace; she rallies ut forty,
and fronts us with the beauty of womanhood;
she makes a last stand at sixty, with the beauty
of are. She falls like Caesar, wrapping her
mantle round her-"burcd in woolen! 'twould
n saint provokep Death listens pitifully TO
the longings of a lifetime, and the wrinkled
face smiles with something Of the prcttincss Of
oighteen.-Satuday Reuirw.

Which Manhood...A Word to Young Men.

One of the greatest blunders of the world,
and against which we write to warn the young
men Of our day, is the thought of manhood,
other than that which is developed from with
in. We have evidence of this terrible mistake
every day; for every day do we see young men
rejoicing in what seems to them to be man
hood, but which in reality is no manhood at
all. But they accept it as such, and conse-
quently fail to pay attention to the only true
manhood possible-that which IS developed
from the soul AS sad result the vast ma
jority of them have no real manhood at all
they are manless men. Let US speak OF these
pseudo manhoods, false and damaging to
most alarming extent.
There is first the MANHOOD OF CLOTHES.
This is the most common type of manhood.
1t is seen almost everywhere, especially at
church and parties There the vast majority
of our young gentlemen show what splendid
Young men they are by their broadcloth, their
shining boots, and still more shining hats. To
their eyes it is just magnificent! They want
no other. It takes the eyes of the girls, and
that's all they care for. How they estimate
this manhood may be seen, when it is told that
they would not trade it for the best manhood
that Wilberforce, or Lincoln, or Howard could
produced To them it is par excellence, and
though some ambitious rogue stole it away,
they would work five long months, at ten dol
lars month, and get another. Hurrah Tor
the Manhood of the Dress.
But we speak secondly of the MANHOOD OF
THE CIGAR This type of manhood Is OF the
same grade of the first in that it may be
bought. Indeed, it is but continuation OF the
first-named, which would be incomplete with
out it, for howsoever grand the first is, yet
must it need have some "foreign ornament"
In disposing, then, of his salary, our young
men always manage to keep enough on hand
to get his perfumed cinnamon" Havanas
are not popular with him. They, indeed, cost
but FIVE cents; yet in the disposition of his
funds. he often finds himself short. With
him, what to do is the question. He must
have his cigar. With him it is sine qua non.
Precisely like other men, he would not appear
in the street without his (cigar) manhood. The
worst having come to worst, he remembers an
old stump, long laid aside, but most opportune.
1t is fired, and with the lungs OF Grant, he
puffs his manhood away. But he can buy an
other.
Our third manhood is the CANE. Conscious
of weakness and of his want Of dignity and
respect, he borrows a camel With this in
hand-broadcloth, cigar and all, he saunters,
glorying in the completion of his manhood;
nor did Beau Brummell ever cut such dash.
Now, young men, we have asked you, which
Manhood? And we repeat it. You must
make choice By the very instinct of your
soul, you will be compelled to decide. Which
manhood do you desire, the one from within,
or the other from without; the one consisting
of imperishable qualities, or the other of per-
ishable rags. Choose ye this day Christian
Recorder.
