Women in French Eyes.

When Time spares beauty he COM
pletes it.
Women do not read; they listen with
the eye.
Friendship between women is only a
suspension of hostilities.
A woman need not always recall her
age, but she should never forget it.
A woman listens to a play with her
mind, and judges it with her senses.
1t takes as much wit not to displease
a woman as it takes to please her.
Heaven gave women tongues to ask
questions with, and eyes to give an
swers with.
We are always anxious to know why
we are loved; they only care to know
how much we love them.
In church, women think that they re-
ceive because they observe, and that they
are meditating when they are only hold
ing their tongues.
1t is often more meritOrious act for
woman to allow something good to
be said of another woman than it would
be for her to say it herself.
The highest mark of esteem woman
ship, and the most signal proof of her
indifference is to offer him hers.
Women attain perfection in but two
departments of Observation-Disclosures and
memoirs. They only write well when
they imagine they are talking.
Those women are to be pitied who
pass their lives between the world and
the theater; poor souls who have only
fiction as a relief from falsehood.
She is to be pitied who thinks to find
friend other than her husband if she
be wife, than her children if she be a
mother, than God if she be neither.
The jealousies of friendship are in this
more exhausting than those of love-
there are only phantoms to fight, and
the price of peace is merely ehimera.
Women who would hesitate about
crying before husband or lover have
no scruples about shedding tears before
an audience. 1t is with their emotions
as with their shoulders-they are only
displayed in public.
Some conjugal fidelities can be ex
planned on the hypothesis that woman
is satisfied to be nothing in her hus
bands heart so that she is every thing
in his life.
A woman who takes a woman to hel
friend introduces her into her life a:
they do the bearer of a flag of truce in
to the enemy's camp-unarmed ani
blindfolded.
Man goes to the dogmas; woman il
satisfied with the sacraments. Her in
stinct apprehends what his reason i
slow to admit; that God allows himsel
/ to be approached more readily than t,
/ be understood-La Fie Pdristenne.

out of his wits; and the only thing he
thought of was how to shift the respon-
sibility on to somebody else's shoulders
as fast as possible. So he said (and it
was very lucky he did, as it turned out)
that Latour, being in government
employ, must be tried by military law;
and he packed them all off to the COM
mandant, who, as I've told you, was no
other than Colonel de Malet.
1t was no easy matter for the Col
onel to get at the facts of the case, for
all the rascals kept shrieking at once,
one louder than another; but at last, bit
by bit, he managed to get pretty clear
idea of what had happened; and then
he said, very solemnly, "A French Off
Ger does his duty, let it be what it will.
You have come here for justice, and
justice you shall have
"There was great roar of triumph
from the crowd, and poor Eugene look
ed as blank as a thief in the Sale de la
Police.
"tBefore I pass sentence, however,
pursued De Malet, Il wish to ask this
young man. (pointing to the son of the
dead Arab, who was the ringleader of
all the mischief) whether he will accept
of any compromise.
"'No, mop yelled the young brigand
-s life for life!'
$3.50 be it, said the Colonel, grave
ly, 'and you, by Mussulman law, are
your fathers destined avenger. There
fore, let the engineer be taken back to
the very spot where his victim was
standing, and do you 60 up to the top
of the parapet and jump doaon upon
him!'

young villain himself, he stood stock.

The Party OF the Futurn

Fiat is dead. License or anti-license
in the cry offactlons has ceased TO be q
power. Even the educational question
is dormant for the present. Dog or no
dog is the issue of the hour, and parties
are caucusing preparatory to the new de-
parture. Too late the members of the
council see their blunder and cringe
and bluster alternately as they meet their
constituents. 1t is true that in order to
divert attention from the main issue, the
cow was tackled as a sort of caudle ap-
pendage to way the dog, but the sub
terfuge was to fiimzy to deceive even the
most credulous, and this cdict of our
star chamber stands revealed in all its
naked enormity. Have freemen no
| rights, that private property is to be tax
ed out of existence in this sanguinary
manner? The streets of this city shall
run with blood, before we will submit
to this high-handed outrage. Let the
| cayotes of the council resign the sacred
trusts, they have sd shamefully misused.
The dog is in the manager and refuses to
he Modified by COW cOmpanionship.
Let the p2ople arise in their might and
AS one man, retire to private life the OPP
pressors of the widow and the fatherless.
Where is Henry Bergh! Where is the
great Tribune of this people, why is he
silent, when the very air is vocal with
lamentation and woe? Let him speak
and let the council tremble, array them
selves in sackclOth. Their doom is
near. AN OUTRAGED COMMUNITY.

A man by the name of Ball, a coal
dealer at Arvonia, came to Reading on
business one day last week, and put his
poney, woody Mustang, in the livery
stable, and went around town collecting
money for coal. 1t was dark when he
came to get his nag. He saddled and
bridled him, took him out of the stable,
and mounted, put the spurs to him, but
he would not stir peg. He tried the
whip, but with no effect. At last he dis
mounted, felt the horse about the face,
caressed him and talked gently to
him, when, to his horror, he discovered
that his horse had horns! The fact
struck HIM that he must have a steer or

Last Friday night there was a dance
