Bashful Men.

We never saw bashful man who
was not the soul of honor. Though
such may blush and stammer, and
shrng their shoulders awkwartlly, un-
able to throw forth with ease the
thoughts they would express, yet com
mend them to us for friends. There
are fine touches in their character
which time will mellow and bring out
perceptions delicate as the faintest tint
is to the unfolding rose; and their
thoughts are none the less refined and
beautiful that they do not flow with
the impetuosity ofthe streamlet. We
are astonished that such men are not
apprcciated-that ladies with really
good hearts and cultivated intellects
will reward the gallant Sir Mustachio
Brainless with smiles and attention
because he can fold shawl gracefully
and handy compliments with Persian
clegancy, while they would not conde
scendto look upon the worthier man
who feels for them reverence so
great that his every glance is worship.
The man who is bashful in the pres
ence OF ladies is their defender when
the loose tongue ofthe slanderer would
defame them; it is not he who boasts OF
conquests or dares to talk of feelings
that exist in the imagination alone;
his cheek will flush with resentment.
his eyes will flash with anger to hear
the name Of woman coupled with
coarse oath; yet he would die to defend
them is least honorel by the female
sex. Whoever heard Of a bashful
lihertine? The anomaly is never seen.
Ease and elligance are his requisites;
upon his lips sits flattery, ready to pay
court to blue eyes and black; he is
never nonplussed; he never bushes.
For glance he is in rapture; for
word he would professedly lay down
his life. Yet it is he who fills dens
with wrecks Of female purity: it is he
who profanes the holy name mother;
desolates the shrine where domestic
happiness is thfonged; ruins the hearts
that trust in him; pollutes the very
breath he breathes; and all under the
mask ofa polished gentleman. La
dies, word in your ear. Have you
lovers, and would you possess wor--
thy husband? Choose him whose
delicacy Of deportment, whose sense
ofyouls, leads him to stand alooi,
while others stand around you. IL he

with poverty than with many another

Old Maids.

d b. II. .ft I.I.|
A sensible writer expresses his,
opinion Of old maids in the, following
manner: am inclined to think that
many of the satirical aspersions cast
upon old maids, tell more to their
credit than is generally imagined.
Is young woman romarkably meat
in her person, she will certainly be an q
old maid. Is she perfectly reserved
towards the other sex. she has all the, 4
squeamishness of an old maid. IL
she frugal in her expenses and exact
in her domestic concerns, she is cut
out for an old maid. II she kindly
humane to the animals about her,
nothing can save her from the appel1
lation Of an old iraidsnsl sln short, H.
have 4 always found that .neatness, \
modcsty economy and humanity. are ,
the failing characteristics Of
that terrible creature-the old maid.
II is no doubt a terrible thing to be an
old nisid, but so long as men drink
rum, chew tobacco. smoke cigars anil
act like beast and 70 is. it is not tho
worst thing that can happen to a de-
cent woman. Indeed. we should nat
have to hunt very far to find plenty Of /,
women who are, not oil maids, but
who would give all their boots and
shoes ii they were; and who in bitter
ness aud sorrow lament the day when
they suffered the yoke to be placed
upon their nccks, which is srievous
and hard to borne.

IN THE WRONG CLOTHES

consequences. did not get back the
same drawers l sent down. when our

come down to my knees. They were
pretty enough, but they made me
