/ The following scintiilations on
man from the pens of some of ouI
ablest literary women will be read
with interest:

He is straight minded and tender.
hearted, with immense energy and
great good spirits. He smokes
pipes, goes out shooting, plays bill
lizards and cricket, is charming with
all the grumbling old men and wo
men. He enjoys life and all its
good things with a grateful temper,
and makes most people happy about
him. He belongs to the school of
athletic christianity Anna lisa
bella Thackeray.
With vacillating man l never
had any patience. If Esau chose
to be foolish and sell his birthright,
| like him to do it with a dash and
spirit, and a will of his own; not
to stand shilly -shallying between
the two; hankering after the one,
yet wondering whether the other is
not the better. All the flavor is
gone out of his mess, and like the
dog of Esopian fame, he loses both
meats in that fathomless river,
where idle regrets lie buried, never
to be forgotten.- Ouida.
Here is a man who possesses IN
perfection that sure criterion of
abilities, a great power over the
minds of his acquaintance; and in
a high degree that rare talent, the
art OF Cancellation, without the aid
of fattery. He is master of one
great advantage in conversation,
that of not only knowing Wbat to
say, but exactly a0Aen to say it; in
knowing when to press a point, and
when to forbear. He has the air,
manners, sentiments of a gentle
man, without any sacrifice of his
sincerity Hannah Moore.
Do l think men are strange be

regard the position of women in an
other light than they used to do;

aid instead of ridiculing or check

Intellectual man l have not felt that
was accounted a superhuity.-
Charlotte Bronte.
When a man becomes only an

1t is hardly an argument against

In general way, some men are ;,
