DANGEROUS GIRLs.-It may seem q
difficult task to decide. er caihe.ira, that
this or that type of young lady is the
most dangerous to the peace Of mind Of
men, there are so many beautiful and
charming girls, endowed with gifts
which strike the senses, the imagina.
ton, and occasionally the heart. There
are New York girls, brilliant, stylish,
with a passion for beautiful costumes
and grand parties there are Philadel-
phia girls, bea utiIul, graceful, winning,
with sweet voices aud seductive by q
certain rare womanly attractiveness ;
there are Boston girls, whose mission is
less toward fashion and beauty aud the
more plastic qualities of femininity
than toward culture and high civili-
zAtion and there are Southern girls
with charming faces, perfect shapes.
and small feet, and with aspirations
only in the direction of love and firta.

The old families inheriting patrimo-
NAL plantations and mansions seldom
leave this country of their birth, COL
lectively forming population more
strictly English than any elsewhere in
the country. In their dialect can be
recognized something OF the negro
twang, gained, as in other Southern
States, through early nursing aud con-
slant association of the children with
their "darky mammies," or nurses.

in the time of the peculiar institu-

What Weddings Offer.

Weddings offer women an eligible
opportunity of getting up o family quar-
rel. All the ladies Of their connection
are in 6utter of excitement, and are
far from being mistresses of themselves.
In the inevitable confusion Of large
inequalities, some distant aunt or near
cousin is certain. like the cross fairy
who was not invited to the christening,
to take offense. The aimless excite
ment and flutter now find something to
work upon, and settle down into good,
steady animosities. Marriage and
death, and DIVISION" says the poet,
rather cynically, "make barren our
lives" Marriages generally beget di-
vision, or rather, in the general excite
ment, some slow old gradge is brought
to head and bursts. When the happy
pair return after the honeymoon they
are lucky if they do not find that they
have to take side in the feud, and
range themselves under the banner of
Aunt Jane or of Aunt Matilda. All
this is the result of the curious mex
plicable passion with which people who
do not care pin for man or woman
throw themselves into their matrimo-
NAL affairs. Ones birth does not dis
turb society one may lie christened
and confirmed, and the world is calm.
Our great achievements, il we ever per.
form any, interest everyone more than
our kinsfolk. We may even commit
crimes, and find that scanty notice is
taken of the offense, relations combining
themselves to saying that" they always
looked for as much" We die, and our
intimates are unmovel. Why, then,
can we not marry? Why do people
seem to become a new and strange sort
of beings, of interest to all men, as
soon as they are engaged to be married
There must be some mysterious reason
for these things, and philosophers may
seek it in the remote history OF the
race. There, however, they probably
will not find it, as weddings in the re.
mote history of the race were an un.
regarded episode, in which the lady was
hit on the head and dragged quietly
ont of the camp. Nor will the philos-
opher be more happy if he looks
within his own bosom, and listens for
the whispers of consciousness. His
consciousness has nothing to say on the
subject. II he be married philoso-
pher, he knows that he always forgets
all about it when he is told that any OF
his friends are about to enter the state
of matrimony. He knows that he looks
on that as entirely their own affair, and
neither history nor experience Can in.
form why his fellow creatures put them
selves into such hutter. Mankind has
always been so constituted that many
things which are natural remain mex
plicable to the philosopher. We do
not think that even Mr.. HerUert Spen.
Ger has tried to solve the problem con.
nected with the popular interest in
weddings Saturday Revie,c.
