An article appeared recently illustrating
the theory that mans character could be
read from the attitude he assumed when
sitting. This theory does not apply to the
female sex. Woman is combination of
affections, and her poses and attitudes in
dictate nothing more than a mere transitory
condition OF intellect which prompts her
to bid for either the envy of her own or
the admiration of the opposite sex. There
is no physical popularity attending wo-
mans occupancy of chair or fauteuil that
may not be interpreted to mean many
different things, and it must be remem-
bered, too, that there are mysteries in her
toilet, such as the tightnesS of her cOrsage
or the extent of her hustle, that have great
deal to do with the angle at which she
adOrnS a chair or the space she fills on a
larger piece of parlor furniture. For wo-
man the chair is nothing but an accident
that has little or nothing to do with her
attitude. 1t is more in the nature of a
particepS criminis than it is part of the act
itself. She uses it to help out her little
schemes, and in doing so uses it in a va
riety of ways.

WONDERS AND 1TURMURS.

Strange that the wind should be left so free.
To play with flower. or tear a tree;
To range or ramble where'er il will,
And, as it lists, to be fierce or still;
Above and around to breathe of life,
Or TO mingle the earth and sky in strife;
Gently to whisper, with morning light,
Yet 10 growl like fetter'd fiend, ere night:
Or to love, and cherish, and bless to-day
What tomorrow it ruthlessly rends awayl
Strange that the sun should call into birth
All the fairest flowers and fruits Of the earth,
Then bid them perish. and see them die
While they cheer the soul and gladden. the
eye.
At morn its child is the pride of spring.
At night. shrivelld and loathsome thingl
To-day there is hope and life in its breath,
Tomorrow II shrinks TO a useless death.
Strange doth it seem that the sun should joy
To give life, alone, that it may destroy.
Strange that the ocean should come and go.
With its daily and nightly ebb and flow
Should bear on its placid bosom at morn
torn:
Or cherish it all the way il must roam
To leave it wreck within sight of home:
To smile as the mariners tolls are DER,
Then wash the dead to the cottage door:
And gently ripple along the strand
To watch the widow behold him landl
But stranger than all, that man should die
When his plans are formed, and his hopes are
high;
He walks forth lord of the earth to-day,
And the morrow beholds him a part of its
clay;
He is born in sorrow, and Graded in pain,
And from youth TO age-it is labor in vain:
And all that seventy years can show
Is that wealth is trouble. and wisdom woe:
That he travels a path of care and strife
Who drinks of the poson'd cup of lifel
Alasl If we murmur at things Ike these,
That reflection tells us are wise decrees;
That the wind is not ever gentle breath
That the sun is often the bearer of death
That the ocean wave is not always still
And that life is chequerd with good and i'll ;
III we know tits well that such change should
be,
What do we learn from the things we see?
That an erring and SHINING child of dust
Should not wonder nor murnur-bUt hope
and trust!
