RELATIVE WEIoHTs.-The average weight
of boys at birth ranges little over six pounds
and half, while girls fall little below the
figure. For the first twelve years the two
sexes increase in weight about the same ratio,
after which time the boy takes the decided
lead--the result being that young men Of
twenty average about one hundred and forty
three pounds, while the average for young wc-
men at the same age is twenty three pounds
less Men reach their heaviest bulk at the age
of thirty-fiye, their average weight at that
time being about one hundred and fifty two
pounds. The maximum Of weight is attained
by women at fifty years, and is about one hun
dred and twenty-eight pounds. The weight
Of the average man and woman at full growth
is about twenty times that at birth.

BRIBERY

One hundred and fifty years ago, Addison,
the great English poet and author, then Sec
rotary of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in
reply to Understanding Office seeker thus
wrote
s'And now sir, believe me, when assure
you never did, nor ever will on any pretence
whatsoever, take more than the stated and
customary fees Of office.
81 might keep the contrary practice con
cealed from the world, were capable of it,
but could not from myself, and hope
shall always fear the reproaches of my owl
heart more than those of all mankind"
A grand exemplifcation of practical integ
rity that, and how morally rich the world
would have grown, had the official honesty Of
Addison since been the governing rule in
stead of the exception
Bride giving and bride taking or in palmer
words political corruption, has proved the
blighting curse ofmodcrn times, and nowhere
more so than in our own land of boosted free
dom and intelligence
It is to-day foul blotcl upon the American
name.
The man who either offers to accept money,
orthe equivalent of money as a political con-
sideration, other :" than the stated and Gus
tomary fees of Office" sleeps himself in in
fanny.
The man who accepts political bride be-
comes the most degraded of slaves, and he
who gives one is a traitor to every principle
of free representative government.
The charge truthfully applies everywhere,
at the polls and in legislative halls, from the
highest official position down to the lowest
The people as a mass are honest, and it lies
within their power to remove the frightful
evil of bribery and corruption, by branding as
Infamous and banishing forever from public
confidence every man, no matter who he is.

or Republican, against whom the stigma just

MISCELLANY.


Stories are, as general thing, substantially
historical variations, The names Of places
may be changed, and the names Of the char
acters may be changed, but the facts are often
gathered from recollection or reading more
than from the imagination
And, indeed, what imagination can conjure
up facts so strange as those that are actually
occurring around usP
Here, the other day, the papers announced
the suicide of a young physician, only twenty
two years old, we think. Suicides are always
strange, and always horrible; strange, be-
cause it would seem as if people die soon
enough, anyhow, without killing themselves !;
and horrible, because it shocks us to see q
fellow-beng tear himself away from his
friends prematurely, and take the dread leap
in the dark unbidden. But this suicide was
particularly strange, because the young man
had so much to live for-lovipg parents and
attached associates. His business, it was
coniectured, might have troubled him. But
it was answered that his pecuniary means
were sufficient. What, then could it be?
After while it leaked out that he had been
in love, and unhappy in that love. He had
been engaged, it was stated, and the engage
ment had been broken off. Disappointed
love Oh fruitful source Of human woe
But the still more remarkable circumstance
was, that this was not the first suicide that
had been committed for the same young lady.
Another man--an esteemed and estimable
citizen-was the previous victim. He went
to Philadelphia, some time last year, and
killed himself there. We remember very
well reading the detailed accounts Of it in the
daily papers at the time.
Two men dead, by their own hands, for one
woman Does that not seem strange, in this
enlightened day? But human hearts are
human hearts still and while, as in days of
old, they still may be strengthened and
purified by love, SO, too, may they still be
nladdened and broken by it.

TnE Mrv VINO AnB ArrRAcrIvD.

The clcaveland Leader, in recent article,
answcrssthe question, !" What kind Of a man
is attractive to woman (" in this sensible
style. The answer can b given IN 4 few
words God hae SO made the sexes that wo-
men, like ciildresh cling to men lean upon
them for projection, care and lore look upfo
them as though they were superior In mind
and body. They mako them the suns Of their
system. and they and their children rcvolye
around them. Men are gods, If they but knew
it, and women burning incense at their
shrimes. Women, therefore, who have good
minds and pure hearts want men to lean upon.
Think OF their reverencing q drunkard, a liar,
a fool, ora libertine. IL man would have a
woman to do him homage he must be manly
in every sense; a true gentleman, not after
the Chesterfield school, but polite because his
heart is full of kindness to all ;one who treats
her with respect, even Difference, because she
is woman who never condescends to say
silly things to her, who brings her up to his
level, if his mind is above hers who is never
over anxious to please, but always anxious to
do right who has no time to be frivolous
with her; always dignitled in speech and act
who never spends too much upon her I; never
yields to temptation, even if she puts it in his
way; who is ambitions to make his marx in
the world whether she encourages him or not I;
who is never familiar to the extent of being
an adopted brother or cous sin who is not
over careful about dress always pleasant and
considerate, but always keeping his place of
the man, the head, and never losing it. Such
department, with noble principles, good
mind energy and industry, will win any wo-
man in the land who is worth the winning.

WHITING"

Learn to wait, life's hardest lesson,
COINED perchance, through binding tears,
While the heart-throbs sadly echo, l
TO the tread OF passing years.
Learn 20 wait--hopes slow fruition
Faint not, though the way seems long;
There Is joy in each condition,
Hearts through suffering, may grow strong.
Constant sunshine howe'er welcome,
Meier could ripcn fruit or flowers;
Giant oaks owe half their greatness
To the scathing tempcsts power.
Thus soul untouched by sorrow,
Aims not to higher state;
Joys seek but brighter morrow,
Only sad hearts learn to wait.
Human strength and human greatness,
Spring not from LIES sunny side;
Heroes must be more than driitwood
Floating on a waveess tide.

A STORY OF SHILoH.--An amusing story
is related of a Louisiana regiment during the
late civil war; Among the Confederate re-
serve at the battle Of Shiloh was regiment
from New Orleans composed, rank and file, of
the wealthiest young men Of the city-there
was scarcely private in the ranks who did
not represent . property ofhundreds of thou
sands.
During the hottest part Of the battle, one
of the fercest Of the war, General Beaure-
gard found his force seriously annoyed by a
battery that he was unable to silence. Again
and again had he directed his assault against
it, only to see his troops reel back mangled
from the murderous mouths of the we'll hand
led guns. At last, though with painful re-
luctance, he turned to the Crescent regiment.
and glanced for a moment over eager faces,
nearly all Of whom were personally known to
him. Then In VOICE low, uuc ursrmctiy
heard to the ftlrthcst end Of the line, he said
simply: "Boys, take me that battery" The
flower of New Orleans fashion and wealth
faced round. looked for moment at the belch-
ing guns, shook their heads and gravely re-
Piled : s'Not much, General. Wen buy you
better battery than that in New Orleans"
