Tho Weaker Sex.

Sir Richard Burton objects to the
phrase weaker sex, " observing that
it is only weaker because it is made
so. THE fcminidrp, like the females
of the equdn, show little corporal
inferiority to the males, and the best
proof is that among tribes living in
the so called state of nature women
are generally the only laburers. 1t
appears to me that in England there
Is a revival of the feminine indus
tries, and when it is asked, What
shall we do with our old maids?' I
would reply that many might be en-
listed. The lady volunteers would
find much to encourage them in
what Sir Richard says upon this sub
ject. In Dahomey the woman is
officially superior, but under other
considerations she still suffers from
male arrogance. The king has re
peatCdly said to me that woman is
still n woman. And when the anna
IONS boast that they are not women,
but men, they stand self convicted
of the fact that, however near to
equality the sexes are, there is al

At n salon in Paris some years
ago the Sieur d'Aimerie was one of q
group TO whom he was imparting an
account of his pedigree, which he
claimed was derived from the pha.
raohs Of Egypt. Just then the late
Baron de Rothschild approached the
group, and one of its members called
out: Baron, come and let me make
you acquainted with the Sieur d'Ai-
merle. He comes from pharaonic
stock, and you ought to know each
other" Yes" said the baron, bow

A Grateful Ely.

Once whilc n man was eating his
breakfast on a summer morning he
saw n fly stuck fast in the butter.
His first idea was to let it die by the
point of his knife, but being in the
main n kind hearted man better
thoughts came to him, and he decid-
ed to save its life. SO this kind, good
man tCndcrly removed the fly, gen
tly scraped the butter off it's little
legs, carefully wiped it's wings with
his table napkin, and softly stroking
its little back set it at liberty.
That night the fly woke him.
There was burglar! He was Just
putting the last of the family silver
into his basket preparatory to carry
ing it away, but when he saw the
owner he dropped his plumber and
fled through the open window. The
fly, which had followed the man
down stairs, buzzed triumphantly
over the basket and then settled
confidingly upon his hand. And
looking Mt it closely the man, by a
certain shiny look that fingered yet
about its body, knew that it was the
same fly that he had rescued from
the butter. He had spared its life,
and in gratitude it had saved his sill
yer, Thus we SEQ that kind actions
rarely go unrcwarded.-LOn Tit

DIR. Holmes Riddle.

The Boston correspondent of The
Critic writes: Looking over some
old time amateur papers, ran across
one containing verse by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, which l will quote.
The paper was The Excelsior, pub
lishcd in Boston in 1858. This is the
most interesting news l gathered
from the little sheet: The finest of
wits, Oliver Wendell Holmes, sent
two poetical letters to the post
office" of an Episcopal fair at Pitts
field. In one of them the first stanZa
was:
" Fair lady, whatsoever thou art,
Turn this poor leaf with tendercst care,
And hush, on, hush, thy beating heart
The one thou lowest will be there.
" On turning the poor leaf there
was found a 81 bill, with some
verses, beginning:
" Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
II this is not n truthful letter.
This IL the one % thou lovcth WELL
And naught (0) can make thee love IL bot
