PHRASES ABOUT WOMEN.

From The Pdrtsdn
Wrinkles disigure woman less than ill-naturc.
-Dupuy.
Woman Is an idol that man worships, until he
throws it down.
Women love always; when earth slips from them,
they take refuge in heaven.
The whisper of a beautiful woman can be heard
further than the lOudest call of duty.
There is no torture that woman would not suIfer
to enhance her beauty.-Montaigne.
OF all things that man possesses, women alone
take pleasure in being possessed.-Malherbe
Before promising q woman to love only her, ono
should have them all, or should see only her,
A. Dupuy.
We meet in socety many beautiful and attractive
women whom think would make excellent
wives-fOr our friends.
We censure the INCONSISTENCY OF women when We
are the victims we find it charming when We arc
the objects.-L. Desnoyers.
The highest mark of esteem n woman can give
man is to ask his friendship; and the most signal
proof OF her indifference is TO offer him hers
At twenty, man is less a lover OF woman than OF
women : he is more in love with the sex than with
the individual however charming she may be-
Retf de la Bretonne.
Men are so fearful of wounding woman's vanity
that they rarely remember that she may by some
possibility possess grain Of common sense.-Siss
BraddOn.
Woman among savages is a beast of burden in
spoiled child.--Senac de Meilhan.
Ii is not easy TO be a widow; one must reassame
all the modesty of glrhOOd without being allowed
to feign its Observation-Disclosures de Girardin
Women of the world never use harsh expressions
when condemnlng their rivals. Like the savage,
they hurl elegant arrows 0rnamented with feathers
of purple and azure. but with poisoned points.

and FIench-over doors and in windows, was

Two s0speht- honorable. respectable professional
men-received orders to quit Naples for Capri.
There they remained for many months living the
simplest OF lives. and apparently not even ac-
qnainted with one another though supposed to be
friends and political cOnspIatOrs. At last when
suspicion had almost ceased, one more plan was
tried against them. An old woman came rushing in
to Signor A, imploring him to come at once,
secretly TO his friend SgnOr B., who was dying.
Signor A went, TO find it all a ruse, and himself
seized and imprisoned. The two gentlemen were
afterward publicly whipped In this little quiet
piazza-one so severely that he very soon died.
