LONELINESS in Women.

Lovlliness in women, though it may
vary in its character and manifestations
in different periods of life, is not the
property ofNyouth only. There is u
great and undeniable charm in the fresh
beauty of eighteen, to which inexperi-
ence and early romance lend perhaps
additional fascination A pretty girl of
that age, who has been untouched by
care, and who knows of the world
through imagination only, is very
delightful object and many men may
wish they might take captive her first
affections.
Between eighteen and twenty-five the
changes of girl, so far as the charms
of her person go, are not likely to be
great +; but in that time, by longer in
tercourse with society and by natural
development, she may grow more com
panionable for men Of maturity, find
her carriage and self-control better and
greater. Those are important years in
a young woman's life, the years during
which, in our climate, majority of the
sex are married.
And yet, from twenty-five to twenty
five or twenty-six a maiden may and
generally does still further advance in
attractiveness and adds to the store of
her charms. She is still young, but
she has 0utlived many of her youthful
fancies, and feels some of the dignity of
womanhood. No better ages than those
in a maiden's life, and never is she
lovelier.
Why stop at twenty-six What
fairer woman are to be found than those
between twenty-six and thirty, and even
older?

Only One victim Wanting.

A young woman at Smyrna, N. Y,
had dream many years ago of eight
men standing before her in q row, with
outstretched hands. She interpreted
this to mean that she would have eight
husbands. Her seventh husband died
lately, and, although she is now "a
years old, she is confident that the
dream will be fulfilled. If such dreams
could be bottled they could be sold for
two dollars per bottle, and the line of
females awaiting their turns to purchase
would make the rush for the four per
cents at the Philadelphia and New
York post offices look decidedly small
in comparison. Young men, however,
would soon form ring to smash ell the
bottled dreams in the eountry.-Norris-
