The 10th of June was gala day for the
w. and b. Club This honorable Body,
thirteen in number, met at their room p.
m, each one carrying bouquet of choice
flowers, which were presented to them by
the ladies of the district as token Of res
pect for their stubborn anti matrimonial
dispositions. A long standing invitation
entities us 10 a seat, a back one, as we are
not member, notwithstanding the fact
that wearc enjoying the state of single
bless,dness. After the usual proceedings,
the secretary announced that Scotland's
old Widower would address the Club upon
very important matter. A grave yssd
like silence reighed. The suspense was
indeed painful. Finally an old gray beard
ed gentleman arose, and in asmooth, clear,
full, round, deep, strong and musical voice
said: "Mr Presidentand fellow members
of the Club, AS have been singled out to
say some thing relative to woman | shall
do the best that lean. / am Incompetent
to DO justice to the subject. Womanl
Heaven bless her. Why, Sirs, it is impos-
sible for me to Look lovely woman in the
face, especially when 1t i framed in
Benville and Company's latest styled hat,
or survey her enchanting figure when en-
veloped in clouds of lace or swathed in a
pink silk outfit selected from said firm.
Heaven bless her every time! Why, Sirs,
what would man do without her bloom and
beauty, her trinity gated feet, ete?' Wo-
man, She's trump. Don't you think so?
she Was, well, I'll say To- be brief, created
a little lower than the angels. Just give
her pin money ad h6itum and she will act
out the character, that is, approximate il,
of celestial beings every time. Esteem Of
the ofposite sex has always been con-
ttsGnfg ensSence with mankind. Yes,
God ,maHe-her, fashion shapes her, and
maney ,sDst moral purity, vivacity Of dis
positsp senperior talents, genius, &c, wins
her admiration. Heaven bless her. How
ennobling 10 my impulses, it is to bes.ow
praises upon her. She's q trump. Her
peculiar characteristics inspires my esteem.
May she never owen on the dtstressfal
illusions Of morning dream; may griefs
which, like the weight OF cumbrous
mountain not oppfess her soul; and may
her days pass serene as the vernal morn.
Heaven bless. h-e.rs" lGreat APP

named takes place.
