washinGton's Answer.

The Father of His Country was a
shrcwd observer of men. and he under
stood feminine character pretty well,
too. as witness the following letter
written about a young lady who was
contemplating a second marriage. 1t
was evidently in response to some ap-
peal for his advice that Washington
wrote: "For my own part l never did.
nor do 1 believe l ever shall, give ad-
| vice to a roman who is setting out on
a matrimonial voyage. First. because
/ never could advise n to marry
| without her own consent, and. second
ly. because l know it is to no purpose
TO advise her to resfain when she has
obtained it. A woman very rarely asks
an opinion or requires advice on such
an occasion till her resolution is
formed. and then it is with the hope
and expectation of obtaining a sane
tion. not that she means to be gov
erned by your disapprobation. that she
applies. In a word. the plain English
of the application may be summed up
in these words: 4 wish you to think
as I DO; but if. unhappily. you differ
from me in opinion. my heart, I must
confess. is fixed and 1 have gone too
far to retract. '"-Trov Times.
