it i ! i - - ? 1 i -5! A PLEA FOR THE "SOFTIES." j 1 here is a class of persons, whom, everybody must souietimes meet, known aul stigmatized as Sollies. This class admits of sub-diviion, aud as only one division is herein uuderstood, it is well to di.-eiiuiiuate. For instance, T this" plea makes no preteuce of iucludin-j that peculiar, tut uot unfamiliar,section koowu in common parlance as spoooies. Nor docs it cover the flippant coxcomb, who, in ad a up by tailor, hair dresser, and jewe ler, aud wrapped in the iuvulocrable man tie of his own self couceit. pours out his fatuous sweetness especially upon ladies The Softy who really deserves com niiserutimi is the man or woman who, in the estimation of our shrewdly wise genera lion, commits the most unconceivable yet utterly puerile folly, of supposing people good until they prove theaiselves or are proved the reverse. This much derided individual usually pets himself for though the class comprises both sexes we use one for convenience into various difficulties belorc his eyes arc opened, il indeed they ever opened. lie helps a young friend out of a tight place, not fimply from pity and kind feeliug, but because he sympathizes with an irregular life, and does not kuow how 5ou he may need a like favor. He considers all wo men, not manifestly vile, straight forward nn 1 pure like h's mother, until he has been jilted by some heartless flirt, and ad ded to her list of triumphs ; or, worse yet, inveigled iuto the toils of some PotipharV wife, and in either case made a subject of derisive mirth, because he was so soft. Ho thiuks that men whose names stand in good, pet haps high, repute ou some hurch roll, are of course upright, and parctiue the religion they profess ; uutil he discovers his mistake, at his own cost If his own principles of integrity are on lv the effect of greenness, he soon passes this stasis and learns to look back sneer ingly on his former self. If, however, lils oobilify is genuine, if his integrity is an integral 'art of his character, he prob ably becomes more wary and reticent, never less honorable a sadder but wiser . tnan. lie will, of necessity, learn to guird his purse, or it would be torn from him by friends who would laugh in his face as they before it away. lut if of a confiding disposition, his unfortunate and often too senitive heart will semetimes stumble out of his breast and perch itself on his coat-sleeves, aud the daws wiU peek at it. Unless he be fortunate cn ough to fall in with some woman of suf ficient sense to appreciate him, aud with a responsive integrity, which shall not disappoint him, the sex is likely to remain in his mind, a lifelong puzzle. One thing however, is certain, the ring of the true metal may be known in this he never dvviudles into a snivelling sentimentalist, nor turns sour and morose, lie knows some human beings with faults and in firmities, of course, but good and true neverthless ; aud his heart dwells upon aud refreshes itself among them, as a traveller over sandy deserts braces him elf amid the scorching sands with thought tf mountain stream? and -visions of wav ing Ceids and forests. A great deal o! what is SDeered at as softness grows out a true and truth loving nature; and it is a sad comment on our nineteenth century morality, not to say Christanity, that it bhould be sneered at. It is not every man that is endowed with the wisdom of the serpent, and the hannlessness of the dove ; said wisdom usually comes through intimate acquaint ance with the wily, oily serpeut. Lovely wymao, too, is much addicted to persecut ing the Softy, or slighting him for some adroit, uublundering man of the world ; he has a strong penchant for the wisdom of the serpeut ; forgetting that it is seldom allied to the cleanliness of the dove Sometimes, indeed not unfrequently these Softies turu out men of mark, making their way fairly and honorably to high places aud esteem ; then my Lady Dis daioful, now a neglected, downtrodden wife or an enameled, paiuted, and padded ppinister, says to herself with a groan. "What a fool I was." Yes, and what fools parents are ! In fact what fools we all are, when we set sharpness, which generally means successful cunning, on a pedestal, and sneer at unsuspecting inno ceoce. Verily it becomes us to animad vert cn the Spartan practice. What if those ancient heatheus did punish the thief, not for stealing but for being found out. Shall we always apotheosize sue cess because it it success, no matter how obtained, and sneer at worth and kind ness and honor because awkward and un fortunate? If so, Dot , only Christianity tut human nature is a failure. Mrs OHvc Stewart in Golden Age. Quick Relief for Burns.
