S'.«k>n was right when he proposed that the sexes should exereise together in the gymnas ium ; a thorough knowledge and a free footing between young men and wo men is one of the greatest safeguards against ill-advised choices. It is often asserted that marriage is the one object of a woman’s life, for which she lays herself out, to achieve which she makes any sacrifice. Bus marriage is like religion, not on act, but a condition, It is not a thing to be obtained like a victory once for all, but to be gone through like a campaign.

I have wrven speeches for the average Congressman, and very good ones, too, considering I didn’t know anything about the subject, and ne k. ew less. Not long ago an aver age Congressman came forward and delivered a mast terrible ranting speech. It appeared in the Globe. \ Some time after, another average Con gressman wanted a speech, and the same identical speech was furnished .it d delivered, and appeared in the Globe, although the gentlemen were opposed in their view of the quslion. [Laughter.] The sptaker reviewed at considera ble length what he termed an average Congressman, and then spoke of the members of the third hous. of Con gress, as he termed them, tne lobbyists' tie considered them a sweetseenb d set of gentiemen. Neariy all the meas ures originated in that branch of Con gress, and could be put through for money. It is composed of men of an average tun of mind better than that of Congressmen. The question is of ten asked whether these men realiy buy up the Congressmen. The speak er did not know. Their bills go j through, and those who go to Congtess poor and come a pay rich could not get nob on their salary. He knew of an instance where a lobbyist was asked if tic expected to pet a certain measure through. Tne reply was, 'Cemmiy ; we have eleven millions stock, fifty thousand dollars, ami the preitie:.i little quadroon from New Orleans you ever satv,’ Tne measure passed one branch of Congress, and it came within fifteen minutes of being reached by the other when it adjourned. The speaker then referred to Wash- ingion as Laving become the great so cial and fashionable centre, ami spoke ot the rt Ccpiioiis giveu by the officials. Anybody, he said, who had a good coat, ami a Congressman, could g -t an entree into society. His description of mis feature of our Uuioved Capitol was quite amusing, and brought out several hearty smiles. After a few more remarks on tins subject the speak er closed, pleading want of prepaia- tion to say more. er, fail into an error as fatal for this lifo as the doctrine of those baptized into the church, but ignoring the life of a Christian, must be fo: the next. The mere husband-hunters no doubt exist arnoug us, but we should rather sepa rate them; the genuine type of a flirt is one who has not at present this object at all in view, who trusts to its coming in the fullness of time, but who makes herself agreeable for its own-sake. As such, we are prepared to announce her uot only harmless, but the proper specimen of a woman. To one whose mind is cultivated aright, no amount of freedom, which prudes may call for wardness, or attempt to please, which old maids may stigmatise as man hunt ing, can "he in the slightest detrimental; she will be above their sneers and stig mas, uninjured by misrepresentation, uiisaruiered by envy, because, like Godiva,‘ciathed, on with chastity.’ WM.

The Home Journal thus defends flirt ing—quite successfully, provided its definat.on is accepted. Some would say that the writer’a ‘true’ flirting is misnamed: WheD a clown follows the will-o’- the-wisp to bis discomfiture, we blame the foolish man, ami the misguiding light. And so, if men wiii be so vam Mark Twain’s Speech on Women. Tne funny faculties of the celebrated hamorl-t, ‘Mark Twain,’ were called into play at a dinner ones given by the Correspondents Club at Washington. Mark was called on to respond to the loast of ‘Woman,’ which he did in the following characteristic style:, ‘Mr. President: 1 do not know why I should have been singled out to re- ceiv the greatest distinction of the evening—for-o the office of replying to. the toast to woman has been regard ed in every age. (Applause.) I do not know whj I have received this drs- unction, unless it be that I am a trifle less homely than the other members of j the c.-uf). Be this as it may, Mr. Pres ident, I am proud of the position and jou could not have chosen any one who would have accepted it more glad ly or labored witu a heartier good wifl to do the subject justice than I. Be cause I rove the sex. [Laughter] I love all the women, sir, irrespective of age or color. [Laughter.] ‘Human intelligence cannot estimate what we owe to woman, sir. She sews on our buttons [Laughter.j Stieracnda our clothes (taughtet,] she ropes us in at the church fairs, she confides in us; she tells us wli.it she can find out about the little private affairs of the neigh- oors she gives us a piece of her mind sometimes—and sometimes all of it; she soothes ouraching brows; she bears our children—ours as a general thing, in all the relattoiw. of life, sir it is but a just and graceful tribute io woman to say of her that she is a brick. [Great laughter.] ‘Wherever you place woman, sir— in whatever place or estate—she is an ruam.ent to that position which she occupies and a treasure to the world.— [Here Mr. Twain paused, iouked in- and imthirikingas t imagine tbatevery _ _ pleasant beauty adores them becaurc quiringly at his hearers and remarked X.

' *I#o she does not snub them, and designs to marry them because she vouchsafes to Ciiat, whose lau;L is it when the pre sumptuous lover is informed with cold politeness that his position is that of a friend only 7 The real mistake consists in conceiving nothing between tbesexes hut love. People rush into the error that a woman must either be discocrte ous to a m. n or iu love with him ; the possibility of her entertaining a proper and heaihty friendship for fifty of the opposite sex nevei seems to strike the world. Now the socailed flirt is emi nently free from all me charges that are usually alleged against her. bihe is open and undisguised. Her sffabili iy is known and commented on from the fact that she converses without bes nation ; laughs without constraint; she ‘wears her heart upon her sleeve; mere is no concealment, no attempt at reservation, no affectation of r-serve. The really designing woman is of an other cast. Her plots are darkly laid and darkly carried out. Her demeanor is staid, and her style irreproachable. “She give, a aide glance and looks down.” She encourages, not with open invita tion of an assauii, but with the covert affectation of a retreat. She leads on quietly, but without appearing to do so, and the world is kept in ignorance of her plans till her discretion is re warded and a prize secured. So anglers catch fish—quietly—concealed —cau tiously. But ne who chatters oil tne bank, flaunts his rod and line, and flut ters his brilliant hues, tails it lie thinks to net. There in nothing more prejudicial to. the happiness of married hie than the guoranea which liibsrghls liave uft'he that the anphius should come in at this poiui. It came in Mr. Twain resumed his eulogy.] Look at-the noble names of history. Look at Cleopatra! look at Desdemona! look at Florence Night ingale! look at Lueretia Borgia.

Twain scratching his head doubtfully, ‘suppose we let Lueretia slide.’] Look at Joyce Heth ! look at Mother Ev^!; [Cries of Oh ! oh 1] You need not look at her unless you want.to; blit’—3aid Mr. Twain reflectively after a pause— ‘Eve was ornamemtal sir; particularly before the fashion changed!

[Applause.] But he never h£d any chance. [Oh! oh!] It might bava^ been different with him if he had be longed to a newspaper correspondent’s club.
