The average American is loo apt to accept what is printed in his fa vorite jnurt'al as. law and goept!, not because lie lacks iudgtnfiif, but from the habit of indolence. Never having liv'jd anions the savages, I am oblige! to confine my observa tior;s to the civi-hzed portion of mankind, and, from having cousins, brothers and friends, feel fully cs pabk- t'f dealing with the subject, and pr(-parcd to "firm "that, s; fir from bating the opposite sex, she is never -I Repeat it nt;ver eatisviv .-.-ut t (;;Unta the e i.n icnce -f any man, young o. oln', and a wotniiit is at the hot- torn oi it- bhc is" the aim and end of his existence.

VThat "ohe paid" and what fche did" is the burden of club con versation, and the only subject that never pails oa their taste. The most popular gentleman in one of our great c'ubs is the one who talks "wcaan" exclusively. When ha enters, drooping spirits revive, en nui takes its flight, a circle is formed, expectation is on tip-toe -for what ? Athletic sports ? Half of them could not lift an oar. For the latest election tidings ? They are too indifferent to vote or do their duty. Kews of the winnings of last nigb. or the races ? No, my lrienas ; no is 6impiy relating a "good tiding" of one of the queens of the stage, to be followed by a recital of one of his own bonne's adventures. Women, as a rule, do not make love. Indeed, I have met many women who have never loved at all, but never a man ! He may not like the soci?ty of his wife or sister, but that does cot; prove he will not sue for the privilege of ting the shoe-strings of a pretty woman. Constancy is. not one of his virtues, I admit, but he loves the sex. When a noted lawyer retired from his profession 1 asked him what he intended to do with himself? He replied ; "Spend the rest of my life among the women of Paris and Vienna." Was his an exceptional resolve ? A distinguished diplomat had been driven io the verge of bui cide at tbe thought of never more being cblo to enjoy female society. Households are being broken up daily by the infatuation of middle aged nrcn for a pretty feminine face, pft'emen are the cause of two thirds of the duels fought. In all ages woman has been the incentive of the noblett actions, the grandest poems, ag well as the most devilish plots fiendish tortures ever perpe trated by man. Tho old Russian Czar was so convinced of the at traction of the sexes that he heavi ly fined, and in some instances, im prisoned, etveh of hia courtier as failed to bring their wives and daughters with themsto his levees. Solomon the Wise surrounded hims self with 800 feminine. Have we no SolcmoiS . among us? -King David, the greatest of poets, de fied God for a woman ; and I sup- pose I need hardly remind you that Adam lost Paradise and has given us a world of trouble for tho sake of "Woman." 11 any one doubts a boy's attrac tion to ward a girl, just let him re side in a town where boarding schools of opposite sexes are estab lished ; the amount cf letters sars reptiticusly conveyed into that fe male seminary would astonish a postman. The punishment ia ru ral school's of placing boy among the giria consists in lowering him in their estimation, and not, as my learned contemporary implies, of a hatred. o tne sex. l nave Known. Doys to steal icieir ueau biaier -a treasures to present to their little sweethearts. I do not write ex ceptions, but examples ol' what is passing daily, hourly, in our midst. I have been careful not to "exagger ate, as any man who will Bpeak truthfully will acknowledge. Man does like woman, collectively or in dividually, and for a woman's ap probation will peril life and soul. Unhappy marriages do not arise from antagonism of the sexes. Bind two men as firmly together, and let society frown at the slightest inde pendent move in either, and the f&te of the Kilkenny cats will be the resuilt, as surely as enforced duty is. irksome, i The first sun-shade was an eclipse. A Sad But Semantic Marriage. London World. TtiK rnarrtige of Garibaldi, which H6 jus? b.-tu annulled in the Court of .ppeal?, took p:ace U'ider ro inntic circumstance;-!, which ere more widely known in their gener- a! burden than in their detail. Ev erybody in Europe is aware how, on tho morrow of this wedding with .itioraltiiundi, i took lu de pai lure - fjr . CJatrera, and nevtr uih eiiseuttd to ee hia wife. J iw iho uaforttiaato iffair wad brotigbt dbouf only a few friends re member. It was at the opening of the campaign of 1859. Garibaldi was scouting the;country between Varese and Cotco and was about to give his troops the order to advance when a handsome young lady on horse lack entered the camp and requested the favor of an audience. She wis the Eldest daughter of the Marchese Raimondi by a sister of the celebrated cantatrice Signor Roucopi, and sshr brought to Gari baldi, on, whit seemed to be un doubted authority, the news of a concentration of Austrian troops, under Gen. Urban, on the Cona route. Gariba'di profited by the advice, went through the Borgho Vico Pass, audeweptthe Austrians pint the ke. The young Iris on ; horseback, however, had made such an impres sion n bis heart that directly after the peace of Villafrauca be proceed ed to the Castello Pino,' tho seat of theRamondi family, where he was bailed as the liberator of Italy by h s fair jfriend among all others seeing which, on the same evening, he asked her hand from her father. 2c may be doubted if even a prin cess would not have considered such a proposal from the hero just then highly flattering. When it is ad ded that the young lady was an il legitimate childand the marchese an enthusiastic patriot, it will be readily understood with what pride aad joy the latter at onc$ gave his consent. Indeed he never seamed to imagine that his daughter might see the proffered match with other fee'iugs than himself, e hastened to announce it to the world, and fixed ar. early day for th marriage. Meaowhile'tho girl was silent and abashed, as if overwhelmed with a sense of tha honor that befell her, aDd as the day of the ceremony ap proached she seemed to be unwell and took to her bed. Numerous friends had been summoned. The illustrious bridegroom's best man had como cn purpose from the end of -Ztaly, and the whole country was in expectation cf the event. As the young lady, although she complained of general weakness, had evidently no serious ailment, the marchese insisted that on the appointed day she should be oarried to chapel in - an arm chair. She fainted on being brought to tho altar but the wedding took place none the less, and thu3 she became the general's wife. It was on the fol lowing morning that Garibaldi left the castle, on the unhappy girl's confession that she was enciente. She has since lived in Switzerland itt close retirement. A Liberal Eailroad Agent- When Frank E. Snow, the ec centric general passenger agent of the Canada Southern road, had his headquarters in Detroit, he was suspected of having the. biggest and most sympathetic heart of any man in tae railroad business. There was a limit, however, even to his sympathy. One day last spring a forlorn looking man called at his office and asked for a pass for him self andvrife to St. Thomas. Cana da. His story of destitution and lost tickets was enough to melt a heart of stone, and he got the pass. This was early in the: morning. About noon he returned to the of fic?, his face longer than; ever, and eaid : 'When I was here before J forgot : to say that we had a dog. He's an awful good dog, and we hate to leave him behind. Is it asking too much for you to pass him, too ?" Mr. Snow wroto a few lines to the baggage master, and the man went away expressing his gratitude. In an hour he was back again, and when a$ked if there was anything more that could be done, he ex claimed i "The ole v.oman and me have struck a payin' job down hero in a boardin'-house, and we think we won 't go on. There's another family down at the depot who are going out to-night, and if you'll al ter this jsass from two persons and a dog to five folks and an Injun pony I kin sell it to 'em for $3 and be just that much ahead ? ; It pain ed Mr. Sncw's big hearts to do it, but he reached out for the pass and tossed it into a drawer and advised Ube woe-begone man to - get into Canada by the highway when be left!

M "Belles" call a1 great many people to church: ; The Colonel's Ezperia3nt. ' j There, are some folks who think it awful wicked for a husband and wife to sit don together of ,an evening nd play cards, 'while bthi- eo uu v tee wutrre me uara conjeg in. ; ' .

Loafers can't, perhaps, but we could play for ta thousand years and! never have a word yes, we could.'? t The others shook their heads in ja dubious way, and the- nettled Colo nel walked straight to a stationer's and bought the nicest pack he could find. That evening, when bi3 wile was ready to sit down to her fancy work, he produced tho .cards ana said : ! j "May, I was told to-day that yoju and I couldn't play cards without disputing and tietting into a row. Darling, draw up here." 'Hao rna f ttq wi 1 1 tiAr Via va word of dispute not one," she re-. plied, as sha put away her w0rk. The Colonel shuffled away and dealt and turned up a heart. : "order it up," she observed, is she looked over her cards. ! "I was going to take it up. any how," growled the Colonel, aa fys chin fell, all his other cards' being black. . : "Play to that," she saidJ as she put down the joker. j "Whoever heard of anybody leading out in trumps," he exclaim ed; ''why don't you lead out with an ace ?" ' i - "Oh,. I can play this hand." "You can eh ? Well, III make it the sickest play you ever saw ! Z?a ! took all the tricks, eh ? WeH I thought I'd encourage you a little.

The bluff didn't work. She took it up, and he led an ace of hearts. "Nojhearts, eh!" he shouted, as she trumped it ; refusing suit is a regular loafer's trick. ; I'll keep an eye ou you. Yes, take it and that and j that and all of 'em ! It's mighty queer where you ' got Jail those trumps.
