On last Friday night three men
went to the residence of @. j. Witt,

manded his money or his life. A
scuffle ensued, when several shots were
fired, one passing through the dress of
Mrs. Witt. The robbers were scared
off without their booty. 1t is not

AS arule the men who are fayorites
With their oWn sex are the tTuest and
best in their relations to women. The
men who like sometimes to Ego away
with the fellows and have a rouslng
time on the water, the mountain or the
field, are the men. we mean! Women
seed never to fear to trust their happI-
ness to those whom men, good aud true,
esteem as good fellows. But if a man
is avoided by men, shun him. He is
the man who, when he marries, wriDgs
his w,te's heart, If she has one, and
spoils her temper, if she is Naturally an
angel. Manly men are the best lovers,
the best husbands, the best companions
for women, just as womanly women are
the best sweethearts and wives. What
do we think of women who shun their
sex, however charming men may find
them? 1t is seldom, il ever, that your
mems fAvorite ill-uses his wife. Per-
haps it may be explained In this way,
Friendship of sublimer sort is what
love becomes afser year or SO of mar
riage, and he who is friendly to the very
depths of hls soul enters into the state
happily, and is ready for the happiness
that follows. Eut man who is capable
OF nothing but a heeting affection,
which ever pursues a new object, and
careJ for no woman when she is won,
hates the domestic ties and becomes de-
testable in consequence. 1t is the man
who would die for bis friend, and for
whom his friend would die, who makes
mirsculously happy wife of the wom-
an to whom be scarcely knew how to
make love when he eourted.
