Ur if they do not say it, they will act it. See a set of women Congregated together without the light of a manly countenance am ng them They may ta k to each other, certainly, and one or two will *i: away together, and discuss their private affairs with anima¬ tion ; hut thc great mass o; them are only h&li vitalized while waiting the advent of the men to ruuse them into life and the desire to please. No man who goes up first, a-d earlier than he was expec f ed, from the dinner table, con fail to see the change which comes over those wearried, l.tub. indige-en -looking lace- and figures asso**n us he enters the room. He is like the prim e wbo-e kis< wokp up the sleep¬ ing peauty and al! her court, und can any one -u> that this is not flattery ot the most deligh ful kin-i ? To be the Pygmalion even h r a moment, and tor.the weakest oiuri ot ioulgiviuu, is about the greatest pleas me that a man can know, *f he is susceptible to the finer kinds of flattery. Some women, indeed, not ot.ly *how their jrmerence for nicu, but openly confe*- it, and confess at the same litun to a lofu couicmpt or abhorrence for the society of i i hese generally who | women are women me. i*r have been, beauties or who have litcraiy and iutt liecfual pretensions, or wbu dcspii-e bulges and contemn bouse keeping, anil proles themselves unable to talk to other women wit.*, by their beauty or their position, have beeu used to re eetve t-xtia attention lrtiui^eieii, and thus their prefe-etee is ne t fiatj;e r ) so much as exigence* ‘ omen who have been in In dta.or , wherevr . else , women are in the , uiinority m rfoeiity, art yl -hi.- kind; and aud noth tog is inure amazing iqtht m w lieu they first come noun: ihau the attentions which a certain sty., of English women pays to men, instead ot demanding aud Receiving attentions from them.

A writer in the last number ofllarper’s Monthly gives a picture of homo lite among the English working people: The inferiority of English women is first apparent to a foreigner in a. variety of little details. Returning from uti early morn* ing ride, he notices the cottages of the working people by the roadside. Tho women are up and about, ri uking the fires, earning the coals, opening the houso, 1 while the men are still snoring soundly. 1 should like to see an American husband wait for his wife, or an America,, son for bis mother to perform these matutinal functions. If he were not speedily be wigged by his uwu better half, a more no rious punishment would be adjudged him by a vigilance committee of neighboring housewives. Or if breakfast is being pre pared, you notice the women buttering the bread, so as to save their .ordg and masters j the slight unnecessary exertion. An American husband mi ht eat dry bread forever, if he were unwilling to butter it, himst-lf. Then you catch sight of a wo* man on her knees lacing u man’s boots. ! So menial a set vice would scandalize the best American wives. If an Englishman wants a pipe, it is the woman who fills it and hands him a light; if his pot replenishing, it is the woman who pro* cures and pours out the ale; if there is an cnand to be done, it is the woman who truts off, while the mau loafs or rests at home. In short, English women belong ing to the lower classes are evidently the ■ servants of the men, whim in America the 1 men arc as evidently the servants of women, only that of the stronger to the, weaker, never seems like^scrvitude, even in the humblest families, but takes the . nobler form of politeness, solicitude, nud duty. FI rut Love. It is one of the oldest points of differ- j ence between man and woman that #ounan j has no First Love. The long alphabet of; her affections is without any dintinct end or beginning; she mounts by insensible gradutious from dolls aud kittens and pet brothers to the zenith of’passion through pet brothers to tabby cats. There is no sucji events as a first kiss forms in a boy’s life to mark for woman the transition from girlhood to the sudden maturity of passion; she lias been kissing and purring and fondling and petting from her cradle, and she will pet aud foud-c aud purr and kiss to her grave. Love, in the sense of the word; is with her little more than ati intensifying of her ordinary life. There is no new pietute, but 'hecolors are for the while a little heightened and the tone raised. Presently the vividness of color , will fade . and the cool , again, grays tower the tone, and the passion of life will have died away. But there will he no definite moment at which one could fairly say that , , love came or went. A , girl . , who , is not whispering iu a lover’s e«ar will al ways say frankly enough that she never knew what it was not to be in love. There is one obvious deduction which she forgets to draw, ... that there never can . be a tune when she can know what it is to be in love. Here and there of course, a woman may be coldt-r, or later development, or self-conscious, .. . and . divide ., . by more may more rigidly marked linos the phases of her life But even then, if she be a wo - mau at all, she can have n fiist love— Feeling, with woman, has no past, as it lias no future. Every pha*e of her life begins With an act of oblivion. Every love is a first love. “I never loved any one before.” is said, and said truly, to a d-.zen loving ears in succession “The first thing I should ltke to meet with in Par disc,” said Lady Wortley .* ontaguc, “would be the river Lethe, the stream of Forgetfulness.” But woman finds a little rivulet ol Lethe at every stage ol her heart's career. If she remembers the past at all, it is to offer it up as a burnt sac rifice to the deity of the present. When Cleopatra talked about Caesar to Mark Antony, she passed, no doubt, her fingers through.-her lover’s hair and wonder ed haw she coul 1 ever have doted on such a bald pared fetlow as the Dictator, llad she . ded | j * char . . Octavius, t \ l m she v. succee in .rug wou ! d have wondered qually at her infat uation for such a ne’tr do well as Antony, And so it is no wonder that a woman's first love, even if she realizes it at all, goes down in this gene-al wreck of thc past. —-»—■ ♦-- A country girl rode into New Albany, Iud , to do some shopping.

The P 1 oportion of the weight draw i to the ^‘ s b°dy is no more than as we ^' e t0 *^rt een> A draught horse eau txe 0, dy lor a few instances, an effort ef l ua ^ *e?^C to a hout I he two thirds therefore, of his own is prop¬ cr we man, strong¬ er than the horse. But, according to Pla¬ v teau, the smaller insect drags without diffi¬ culty five, six, ten, twenty times its own weight. The cockchafer draws fourteen ti,ueB ilB weight and more. Otb* er coleoptera are able to put them pe ^ ves cfjuilihrium with a force of traction reaching »f high as forty two times Hieir own weight. Insects, therefore; "hen comparea with the vertobrata which ; we employ as beasts of draught, have cnor* ,uous muscular power. If a horse had s l r<Jtl gth as a docaeia, the traetion it cou ^d exercise would bo equivalent to some sixt y thousand poun 8. M.

A town ten miles square contains 04,000 acres. An increase of $100 per aero is equal to S,4 :0,000, or enough to build 200 wiles of railroad even at a cost ol $32,000 per mile. But 20U miles of road would extend through 20 towns, ten miles square an< ^ c <)at ^ ut 810 P er acre if taxed upon the land . These figures arc given merely a* an illustration.
