The fashionable Wife.

The fashionable wife looks on her hus.
bands money as spoil--something which
he wants to guard, and she to sie1c. 1t
is no joint property which it is rs much
her interest rs it is his to save and use
wisely; but an enemy's possession which
1t will be her gain to loot. AS for com
panionship-tOUj0urS peririr pals, and
an evening spent with her husband alone
counts as the ne plus UitrU OF deadly
dulIness. Personal love for him has died
out il even it once existed under the
guise of passion because Of novelty; and
whatever she may be to others, her hus-
band finds her uniformly cold and repel-
liant. Motherhood is her bug bear; chill
dren unwelcome intruders; and there is
no more miserable woman eXtant than
the fashionable wife with baby, that
hinders her from joining in the seasons
vulgar pleasures. Essentially selfish and
shallow, love has as little meaning for her
as the doctrine Of duty or the glory OF
sacrifice; and those who know her stand
aside in kind of wonder at the scheme
OF creation which includes, among its
oltsets, being without uses and without
Vlrtues-a woman with presumably a
soul like any other, absolutely destitute
OF the love which saves the world from
worse than death-Of the reality which
seeks truth and lives in it-of all noble
ness Of aspiration and all righteousness
OF lile-a woman whose good ispIeasurc,
and her one sole religion--Gashion.

Mems Manner Towards Women,

A vigorous writer suggests that the
lamentabe change which has come over
the manner Of gentlemen towards ladies
may be due to the decay Of fine manners
in women Morally, he thinks, women
are rs good as they ever were; but many
| Of them have become excessively tamil-
lar with men. This fact makes it diff
cult for men to preserve towards all
women that lineness of manner which
marks manly respect for true woman
| hood.
1t is not every man who is, like Thack
eruy's Col. Newcome-thOt "brother of
girls" to use an Arabs epithct-whose
respect for woman, rs woman, was so in
| bred that he took off his hat when spoken
! to by an abandoned female.
Other causes for this decay the writer
finds in the independence of certain
women, and in the neglect Of another
class to express their appreciation of lit
tie attentions. Why should u man hand
woman a chair who tells him, 81 can
get it myself" Should he not take her
at her word! Why should he rise when
she rises, when she does not acknowledge
the attentions lie may be tired, or it
may be inConvenient. Why should a
gentleman put himself out for an indie.
pendent or q thankless wOman'
That is the writer's way Of putting it
and the inferences are legitimate, sec
ing that men are not martyrs, who sac
rifcc themselves from love Of sclF-im-
moIationG
Young women in whom these bad
habits have not permanently located
themselves, ought to reflect that few men
are likely to offer attentions to masculine
women, or women who never say, "Thank
you;' nor are they apt to be deferential
to women who are themselves Indifferent
to deCorum. If a lady does not exact
Difference, she will not receive it.
The woman to whom comes the sudden
reflection, "lIe didn't behave towards me
as a gentlemen should towardsa ladyW
should certainly ask herself, "IIas my
conduct towards him been that ofa we'll
bred ladyW

IRISH RoADs.-The public roads Of
Ireland are absolutely perfect. Go where
you will through the rural districts and
the roads are thoroughly turnpiked,
thoroughly drained, and level as board.
The bridges over the rivers and creeks
are all stone. Every road has side
walk for foot passengers elevated about
six inches over the main road, and from
four to six feet wide. The fences on
either side are of solid stone masonry, to
the hight of from four to six feet, upon
the top Of which are grown hedges Of
hawthorn or furze, or grass and wall
flowers. The walls inclosing the roads
are festooned with ivy aad wild flowers,
producing a charming effect. Every
country seat is thus "hedged in" from
the outside world. There is no getting
over the barrier, and access can only be
through the lodge gates, generally a
woman, who admits only favored few.
The constabulary are always on hand to
arrest trespassers. 'Tramps" have a
poor show in Ireland. They must keep
to the roads--or go to jaiI.-COr. Read

grease the pan with butter; cook two
minutes, one minute before turned, one
minute after turned do not season until
after cooked, as the seasoning causes it to

AsPARAGUs.-To cook asparagus with
out making it stringy, cut the shoots
when about three inches high. Soak
them well in salt and water, but take
them out thirty minutes before dinner, tie
them into small bundles, and boil rapidly
twenty-five minutes, until soft. Spread
hot toasted bread with butter, skim out
the asparagus, spread it over the toast,
and serve.

we use with rice in puddings milk, eggs

LONDON, Nov. 2.-It looks less

ing Russian authority takes the same
view, and all parties TO the general

vexed problems. Meantime the fact
remains that Russia has not relin.
