I chi believe a man, be hag: 1 / 4 h. to low,
rich or poor, is never satisaed with his
wife, except when she is darning, his socks
or making a pudding. If an} one should
ask me my idea of the male sex, I should
describe - it as a rapaeious puilding:br
with a pair of word-out soaks on the end
-of it; while the female sex would be repf .
--resented as everlastingly busy trying to
fill the bag with ceaseless paddv, and

when the house wag furgished, we
shouldn't have been asked. !shouldn't
care much for gottr, since there's no sup-

at pictures which I don't care a snap
about, if it wasta't a compliMent to our
taste, and nice to:have been there.
You guess it Was you wh6 procured
the ticket's this ;time Inified ! And
how ? You've been- ordering: i : wo or three
pieces to be painted by Some Of our first
artists ? You were introduced to some
of them, and the! were such' good fellows
you couldn't help it., Well,' I expect it's
all. right... For my._ part, admire the
frames more than! I do the paintings; but
other people of otir r-et seem!' Ito have got

runriqollow the lead. ,

SpeakingOf one thing reminds me of
another. I ,wonder where that Signor
Fingerari is that .:ed to give ,the girls
music lessons be ore they wait away to
boarding.s.chool. Am I thinking of tak
ing lessons myself, at this ' 'day ? I
am not, Mr. Rasher; thourrh. why you
.
should consider tee too old to learn, if I
was a' mind to, I don't see; alit only for-,
ty-two, come April. The f#t is, I had
hard work to coax Resine ta stay, after
that time you gave •her waroin7; I had
to raise her wages, and make tOr a present

a natural talent for music. IShe thinks
she'd like teaching music better than
waiting on ladiei, or at least 4 would help
her to pass away her spare tithe, pleasant
ly, if she knew how to . play the piano,
and I've thought some of gratifying he;
for the sake of keeoing her.' I
Now, Rasher, that's just the wav - you

trying to frighten me about your business,
when there wasn't the least necessity, for
it, just for the take of seeing me going
without the comforts of life. I haven't
got them white furs yct, and it's coming
time to get a camel's-hair shawl for the
spring. La, Rasher! I never thought of
your ordering pictures painted. Did you
choose your own subject? Tell me what
yon ordered; for I want to speak of, it,
this evening, to'Flummery and Mrs. Cor
nell. : " Yon saw sodie excellent portraits
of hogs, by Oestel, and ordered two corn
panionlieees, to hang in my boudoir ! "
--q-jdso a sweet little landscape, that re
minded you 4:the old homestead, where
you!was brought up—which You took,
only Yon ordered a group of pigs, in place
of the cattle, in the field." Now, my dear,
if there's money to be wasted on pictures,
preer picking 'em out myself, and shall
insist upon doing so. As for having your
pigs in the house, I . sha'n't do it, no mat
ter how well they're painted. " Connis
nrs pronounce 'em wonderful." Well,
the more they are like bogs, the less I'll
like 'ern. If you'd had 'em so they could
have passed for sheep, I wouldn't have
minded, but as it is, if they hang 'any
where, they'll hang in the smoking-rom.
What? "smoked bacon"—yes, make
smoked baton. ef 'em, for all I care.
. ,
I'm always in my, element, Mr. Mum
inery,when. I'm surrounded by congenial
spirits, a on this oceaSion. You an my
dear friend Fitz Simmons have been ex
tremely kind in inducing all these cele
brated artists, 'and so many talented pee
plc to honor me with their company this
evening. I hope the supper will give'sat:
isfaction and pay them for'. their trouble
in coming; if nothing else does. But, of :
course, I don't expect that people of such'
gifts care for such things as suppers and
liTiors ; I have spared no expense to feast
their minds: as well ai their bodies. You
observe I have added twelve new pictures'
to my colic - mien, which I bought on pur
pose to add brilliancy to this soiree.—
Aren't, they splendid? the coziest 'and
most superb I could find, that would go
in,a privatel house ; and, to whisper the
truth to you,l got them., surprisinglyl
low. Purchased all at one place, and
they made a reduction in consequence of
the size of the order. Those fur
vimag
nificent companion-pieces, t ,
Col's Voy
age of Life,' the real origin. , got for
three hundred dollars, and the frames are
worth. sixtV apiece. Seems to me the,
company is in unusual good spirits-L--don't
you think so, Mr. Flummery? I knew,
you'd 'agree with me. The artists are
snch a pleasant, sociable kind of people;,'
they ain't as particular abodt their dress,
some of 'em, as they might be, but it gives'
'em an air. It makes me quite happy to
see how delighted they are with,the pic-,
tures. Don't you think the girls are look-.
ing well ? 0 dear, you flatter them, Mr.
Flummery.. It's strange you Seem to ad-,
mire Felicia most. She is a good 'girl,
amiable and sensible—but she hasn't.the
genius of C'erintha. Cerintha's real sen

She writes the sweetest compositions, and
secs an exiled prinee in every Italian or
gan--grinder. Am not I afraid she'll run
away with some ragged hero, some daY?
0 no'! not shel she's prudent as well as
practical. She'll. never marry less'n half
a million. If anybody makes a love match,
it'll be Felicia, quiet as she looks. By
the•by, who's that she's so much interest.

Will be a lion some day ? I shall allow
Felicia to cultivate him; then; but I must
warn her against any tender interest.—
He's handsome enough to I turn a young ,

make fun of us. • it would be so nice.
Do you think they are enjoying them
