Female Society.

1t is better for you to pass an eve-
ming once or twice a week
in lady's drawing-room, even
though the conversation is slow, and
you know the girls song by heart,
than in club, q tavern, or pit of a
theater. All amusements of youth
to which virtuous women are not ad-
mitted, rely on it, are deleterious In
their nature. All men who avoid fe-
male society have dull perceptions
and are stupid, or have gross tastes
and revolt against what is pure.
your club swaggers, who are sucking
the butts of billiard cues all night,
call female society insiped. Poetry
is uninspiring to q Jockey; beauty has
no charms for blind man; music does
not please poor beast who does not
know one tune from another; but as q
pure epicure is hardly tired of water
sauces and brown bread and butter,
1 protest L can sit for a whole night
talking with q well-regulated, kindly
woman, about her girl Fanny or her
boy Frank, and like the evenings en-
tertainment. One of the great bene-
fits that q man may derive from a
woman's society is that he is bound
to be respectful to her. The habit is
Of great good to your moral man, de-
pend upon it. Our education makes
us sthe most eminently selfish men in
the world. .-Ih0cker0y.

A FAMOUS ARMoRER. Andre de FsTr-
ara was the most famous armorsz of
modern times. He first came into note
in the Highlands Of Scotland. Il is said
he was the only person who could forge
armor that would resist thes Sheffield
arrow heads, or make swords that would
vie with the best Weapons of Toleda and
Milan. He is supposed to have learned
his art in! the Italikn city whence he
was called, to have practiced it in Sec
racy among the Highland hills, as his
genuine blades were all msried With .
crown. Bsfore his time no man in Great
Britain could temper q sword in such q
way that the point should touch the
hilt and spring back uninjursd. He is
said to hags worked in G dazs. cellar,
the better to unable him to perceive
the eff, ct OF the heat upon ths metal,
and to watch the nicely Of ths tsrlp er-
ing. as we'll as possibly to ssrrs as a
screen to his secret method O; scrking.
Many of his blades, with new basket
hilts, are to be found in the Scottish
regiments of the..pressnt day.
