"A BISHOPS Experience with Women.
From the Pail Mall Gazette
The late bishop of Lincoln sought and OBJ
tanned what has been called the one compensa-
ton of growing old. He stood in special need
of that restful sympathy which women know
how to give, which good women will give when
they feel that it is valued, but which men can
neither give nor take away. Yet he learned by
experience that even this rose is not thornIess.
In particular he found that the art of instruct
Ing and correcting women without affrOnting
them is not easily acquired.
so far from being dissembler or even a self
enacer, he was in reality somewhat over-frank
He was visited by a young lady who wrote well
but who, in his opinion, talked less we'll. He
resolved to admOnish her of this defect: but in
stead oftrying in any of the thousand-and-on
possible ways to hint, while commencing her
writing, that more was now expected of her dis
cOurse-iaudandO prOecipere as Bacon would
have said-he embarrassed her by the blunt 1e-
buke: "4our conversational utterances are fee
ble." " "
The following abridgment of an account
which he gave of his meeting an American
young lady at a foreign table d'hOte reproduces
his characteristic sayings almost, if not quite
verfabim: 'She was only 49, but she knew
everything. She told me the exact amount of
affection which the Princess c. has for her
future husband, and she gave me q full account
of the divorce laws in all the states of America
She appealed to me some times of course I
agreed. At last she asked whether 1 did not
think she could write q book, and told her
that she was the most ignorant girl ever met!
But took care to say SO in such way that she
couldn't mind it,"
