Men and women.

The conditions of life are more fatal
to men than to women. Although the
proportion Of boys born in any civilized
community is l04 to los to every 100
girls, greater number of girls reach
maturity. In fact, in nearly all coun-
tries there is a suplus of women. In
England there are l03 women to 100
men, and in America the excess of wo-
men is fully per cent, while in the
United States, such as Massachusetts,,
the emigration of young men has made
far greater disparity in the numbers
of the sexes. From the surplus of wo.
men there would naturally follow the
enforced celibacy Of the more unattrac-
tive Of the sex.
There are, however, other causes which
also tend to produce the same result.
Prominent among these is the lack OF
chastity among men. According, to Mr..
Greg, whose Literary and Social Judg-
ments," has recently attracted much at
tention, this latter cause is more power
full than all others in producing the &C.
libacy of so large a number OF English
women. His remarks on the subject can
he applied with equal truth to the condi-
ton of things in this country. and we,
therefore. quote them, leaving the moral
TO he drawn by our readers. Mr.. Greg
remarks: IF every man among the mid
ale and high ranks were compelled to
lead a lie Of stainless abstinence till he
married. and unless he married, we may
ha nerfeetly sure that every woman in
those ranks would have so. many offers,
spcb earnest and sure nationally eligible
ones that no one would remain single,
except those to whom nature dictated
celibacy as vocation, or those whose
cold hearts, independent tempers, or IN
dulgent selfshness, made them select 1t
as a preferable and more luxurious ca
reer. Unhappily, as matters are man
aged now, thousands Of men find 1t per
fectly feasible TO combine all the free
dom, luxury and self.indulgence OF a
bachelors career with the pleasures OF
female society and the enjoyment they
seek for there. As long as this Is. so
long, we fear, vast proportion OF the
best women in educated classes-women
especially who have no dowry beyond
their goodness and their beauty-will be
doomed to remain Involuntary single.
How this sore evil is TO be remedled we
cannot undertake to say. When female
emigration has done its work, and drain
ed away the excess and the special OBJ
viousness Of the redundance; when wo-
men have thus become far fewer IN pro-
proportion, men will have to bid higher
for the possession Of them, and will md
it necessary to make them wives instead
Of mistresses. Again, when worthless
appearances, and weary gayeties and

women's eyes, in comparison with more
solid and more enduring pleasures, they
will be content with smallar worldly
means in the men who ask their hands,
and as they become less costly articles
of furniture, they will find more numer-

themselves are far from guiltless in this
matter; and though this truth has been
somewhat rudely told them lately, it is a
