SUMETUINU ABOUT WOMEN,
BEING ADVICE FROM A FATHER TO HIS SON.
Some days since 1 administered to yen a
short but serious hit of tdvtee concerning
whiskey straight and whiskey sour or rather
as to what sort of people they are who drink
these alcoholic compounds. Your trunk is
now packed, your boots pinch your feet no
more, the maternal apron string is severed,
your sister has abstracted the last twenty
greenback from the mardct dole, and yon
are ready, eager, and ripe for the battle of
with all its mvsteiie* of bard up, and mise
ries of down at the heel.
There is one fsct ; and that is, next to an
hereditary fondness for whiskey, you have
another weakness—women. You need not
blush. I always regard the sudden flushing
up of a man's face as prima Jacia evidence
that he has been at something of which
he is ashamed. Now, no man need to be
ashamed of fondness for women. It is nat
ural. It ts human. Woman is divine—es
pecially after dinner, when her temper has
been crushed down—flattened out beneath a
tremendous weight of roast beef, potatoes,
and apple pudding. Before dinner she is
variable, sometimes nervous and always box
ing for something she has not lo*t. Com
mend me. my son, to the woman who dines
heartily, and minds her own business as well
as tbat of her neighbors ; who does not niaks
a tea-vat of herself, and who can drink a
cup of Young Hysoo withont sweetening it
with the shreds of scandal she has picked up
in job lota in the street. A silent tongue in
woman bespeaketh longevity, love and the
meekness of submission.
There are di vers kinds of women, my son.
Women, were they alike, wouldn't be worth
as much as one of the luxuries of this world.
Variety, my dear son. is not only the spice,
but the comfort of life which perhaps ac
counts for the tendency of some married men
to go abroad after those comforts which can
be had at home, equally as pleasurable in
their nature, but which from long familiarity
do uot have the charm of novelty. Man will
as be has ever done since the world began,
continue to run after strange goda—particu
larly if these strange goda wear crinoline,
have dimpled cheeks, rosy lips, roguish eyes,
and are all the more complaisant with an in
crease of worsbioers.
Women take to flattery, my son, as natur |
ally as men do to their morning eye-opener.
It is the sugar of their existence. But woe
to the unlucky wight who does not under
stand the art of administering it. It has to
be given with care. It must be prepared
and put up in doses to suit the patient, like
medicine. Some women will take flattery
and adultation as the glutton swallows cream
tarts, and are nnhappy and miserable if thay
miss their daily dose. Others take it well
disguised. The plain, unadoring article dis
gusts and makes them qualmish. Others
again, pretend to abhor compliment in all Its
forms, and yet are only fishing for a larger
share then of right belongs to them. At the
first nibble they toss their pretty heads and
curl the inviting lip. an\l ate ready for a
wholesale bite. When a woman tells you
ahe detests flattery, my boy, don't believe
her. The heart of woman is like a fort.—
There ia a sally-port somewhere, by which
all its loves, desires, fears, and hates comes
bat, either. singly or in fall battallion.—
Through that sally-port, my boy, you can
enter and capture the entire garrison, haul
down its flag of deflanot, and run up your
good eosigo of victory. But you must first,
like a doctor examining a blooded horse, find
her weak and strong points, study her every
motion, mark her every word, never allow
a glance to escape you. There never yet
lived a woman who could not be conquered.
I any that advisedly. Women was born to
be married. To her, even in her younger
years, the coming man towers in the dim
future like the vieioo of a colossus looming
up through the misty atmosphere of a dream.
Uer deatiuy U man, and without hiui sho
does not fulfil her mission ou this footstool.
There never vet lived one of those rusty
uoudescripts, yclept old mails, who lid not
at some period of her unhappy existence,
have & hankering after a man, and that par
ticular mau did uot conquer her, and save
the world the uifiictioo of an old maid, and
gaiu for himselt a good or a bad wife, as the
case ought be—was his own fault. He per
haps was alter some pet fancy of a school
girl, and she, not admiring him, married
somebody else, and so made him a bachelor.
1 think, were l.au old maid, and had been
4 *crosed in love,'" 1 would,out of sheer spite,
uiarry the Ural man 1 could get hold of. I d
have satisfaction d I had to uurry forty men
to gel it. Old mails are like some politicians
1 kuow of. They ruu their career upon the
one idea sv stein They have but cue idea,
and that is their first love. That failing,
uicy are ever after out at sea, floundered
about, always wrong side up, and go down
to oblivion, loavmg DO vestige behiud in short
clothes or long stocktugs to commemorate
their existence.
1 especially recommend you, my hoy, to
avoid young ladies who, wheu on promenade
addicted to that style of locomotion which
is not to appropriately deoomiuated wrig
gimg. The woman who wriggles when she
walks reminds me of one if those little yel
low, cropeared poodles that dance, and twist,
and squirm about whauever you look at
them. The woman who walks m this fash
un, 14 generally gifted with a small quantity
of braius, is devoid of common sense, full of
vanity and self conceit, fiery in disposition,
tickle, and for all the ordinary purposes of
matrimony, is as useless as a refrigerator is
for a hotel in giber i. ller whole life is
sitnply an elongated wngula of wasted hours,
lost opportunities and disappointed hopes.
On the coutrary, my son, do not choose
the woman who walk* as though she were a
greuidcr in disguise, inarching with solemn
tread toward her That wo
man, were you to marry her, would march
through your whole married existence, tramp
ing under feet your eveiy delight, crushing
your authority ; until at last there, eves,dim
with age, would tearfully behold you cringing
to a petticoat, and trotting along behind your
mistress,with your ears laid meekly back,
and looking ten times more pitiful than a
whipped cur.
These walking woman in youth are proud,
imperious, wilful ; in miJdb age the same,
with the addition of a tow-colored moustache
and neuralgia in the head, and in their old
age so awfully spiteful that eveu that beat
friend of disconsolate ancient womanhood—
the cat—shrink* away from her presence.
Ah, m) sou, if you wish to display your
good taste ID the cultivation of female socie
ty, avoid tall Women of the unbarred, tele
graph pole order of anatomy , avoid the
squeezed up tumbling style as well, aud do
not be taken in by chalk, rouge, cotton and
curls—nor with too white teeth.
Dou't be 'edinto error by a pair ef pret
ty aukk-s and do not let a pair of well turn
ed i-boulder* turn your bead. Remember
that etpccially in the sea of wumaukiod there
are as many fish uucaught as have been hoot
ed.
Woman with light brown hair and blue
eyes, of medium height, plump hands~ah !
my son they are the women for men to love,
cherish, respect and treat as if thuy were an
gels. Snch angels are never enter'.ai red un
awares. No pane man. full of bea! th, passion,
and whose vigor has not been prostrated by a
continuity of Trout alley whiskey can ignore
their prsseuce. If he does, he deserves to be
kicked to death by shrimps.
The brown haired, blue eyed woman is am
iable in disposition, true as steel, and with
him she loves, never jealous. Jealousy, my
boy, with the majority of woman kind, like
variety to man, is the spice of their t x stence.
They revel in il,aud like the locust eaters get
wild, crazy over it, and finally either are
booked (for the K'rkbridge Institute or to go
i ff into the chronic hys tcric. *
A jealous woman is a fool, and w.th such a
woman for a wife, the husband is a greater
fool than she, if he does not give her cogent
reasons hobnobbing with the greeny ed mon
ster.
A red haired woman is apt to be steadfast
in her affections, and to umlerstan 1 the art of
cooking catfish and baking shad to perfec
tion. She has a temper not particularly even
is inclined to break out like an epidemic—
when least expected. Red haded women,
my boy, are very fond of being widows, and
of moving from place to place—at least that
is my experience.—Your mother's hair was
slightly auburn, but durixg the first five
years of our married life it gradually assumed
a darker lnt, which (act I attribute entirely
to ner sudden acquired fondness oc her part
for pork and beans. 1 attribute to the harsh
ness of my hair altogether to a too great par
tiality for hash in my younger da> s. I have
noticed, my son, that people who eat too
freely of hash became sour and morose in
their disposition. Corned beef aid cabbage
auperindune inflation, and is a very aporo
piato diet for politicians and temp*'ranee lec
turers who happen to be long in body and
short ia mind.
Never marry a short, dttninuiiva woman.
You wiU never be able to find her when you
want her. You wvll be jual aa hkely to
bae her some rino tn. rntn*: aa o. Lilth*

A :tch old w slower in Canada is
said to have practiced a very artful scheme to
gain the hand of the belie of the village, iie
got an old gypsy to tell the young lady's for
tune in words which he dicated, as fol lows ;
u Jiy dear young lady, your star will soon be
hid Cur a short time by a very dark ci juJ, but
wheu it re-appears it will shine with unia
terupied splendor until the end of your days.
Before one week a wealthy old widower,
wear'ng a suit of black and a hue castor hat,
will pay you a visit and request your hand m
marriage. You will accept hu offer, become
his wife, and he left a widow, in the posses
ston of all hi* properly,'before the close of the
year. Your neat husband will be a young man
of whom you think most of at present."
Three days after, the old gentleman, dress
ed in the manner described by the gypsy,
presented himself to the young lady, and the
ra&r riage followed. The old gentleman did not
dm as was still lives, although
he has grown a number of years older in the
service of the young wife.
; *I DOJTT CARS."— Yet you do, and there's
no use in trying to deceive 'jourself with the
sophistry ot those words.
The best and noblest, the truest and most
generous part of your nature does care tor
the unkind, cutting words you have uttered
to one you loved, in moments of pique.
You may carry yourself so proud and defi
antly, you may never drop by word or look
the dew of sweet healing on the wound you
have made in a nature as proud, as sensitive,
and exacting as your own ; but to yoar hon
or, be't said, you aro better than your words
and away down in your heart lurks shame
and Mpentaooe and sorrow fur them.
You may carefully hide them both, and io
a little whi'j thev wtlT be gone, for oh ! it it
very easy to make one's self bitter and
proud, and cold—very hard to keep one's
self sweet, mellow and charatabte ; bnt there
must be some pain, and some struggling be
fore you can do a mean ungeoerous thing to
one who loves you. and have your heart en
dorse your ' I don't care !"
And how often are these words uttered,
when conscience sternly refutes them ; and'
how often they harden the heart, and keep
the feet in the way of evil.
Be careful, reader, when you say, "I don't
care."
TRI;TKFUI.SC.V< or A HERO It ia related
of Lord Nelson, that while walking out one
morning he met a httte girl crying bitterly.and
upon asking her what was the mat ter, she re
plied that she had broken her pitcher with
which she had been sent for milk, and afraid
she would be whipped when she returned
home. Seeing that he sympathized with her,
she held up the fragment!'and artlessly said,
"perhaps you can mend it,air." "No 1 can
not do that replied he, "but I will give a six
pense to buy another with," Oa looking in
his purse, he foand he had no change, and
said, "I cannot give it to you now. but if
yon will bo here at this time to-morrow, I
will meet you and give you the money."
She went home cmifortcd. And told her
mother the story with snch confidence that
she was excused from punishment, on condi
tion that the gentleman kept hia word. Be
i fere the time came. Lord Nelson received a
letter asking him to go to a distant place to
meet a person whom he greatly desired to
see. He hesitated and thought that such a
trifle as giving a little girl a >ixpease ought
not to keep him away, bnt then he had giTen
his word and the little girl had implicitly
relied upon it. No he would not disappomt
her, so he sat down and wrote to his Iriend
that "owing to a previous engagement," he
vhonld be unable to see him at that time.
Such an incident adds lustre to the world
wide fame of one of England's moat oelebra
ted heroes.
Tbe St. Jjruhbury (Vt.) **tVeduiaa'
says that the potato crop in that locality is
laree and excellent .■ The only fault ia that
they grow to large that they haee to be "btl
ed" like Joah Billing*' Shanghai rooeter—
"yne end and at a time."

RxxEYßKii THE Pooa—These cold blus
tery nights which we are now having are on
ly the remainders or forerunners of stem old
Winter's icy chains that will soon be grappie
ed around us. Many of us will rejourn at the
approach of the sleighing vid skating season
but let us not forget in the ume that
there are those ainong us whose blood thnlla
with horror as they hear the keen autamial
winds whistling around the corners and
through the cracks of their airy cabin*, which
are only warmed by the genial rays of the
tun. There are such h mes in oar midst,
