well, and dress often. Let her not
pretend tout she cannot say “bo” to
a goose; on the contrary, let her say
many “ bo’s” to many geese. Let
her join in amusmeuts whenever she
gets a chance. If a man ^rics to turn
her bead, let her accept tie challenge,
and, having turned his head, laugh
at him. He will not be the
for the lesson.
After all, the business of a girl is to
cease to be a girl by becoming i
wife. Here, too, the poor girl is ad
monished and abused by her censors,
Theoretically, a girl is expected to
take no account of the position of he
future husband, but to marry the
man for whom she feels an inclination.
This view of life is diligently inculca
ted in novels and plays It is, how
ever, an absurd view, and those wlm
act upon it are exceedingly foolish.
A gill should never sac itice her
whole future to a mere flouting far.ey.
What are termed love-marriages are
seldom happy marriages. In ninety-
nine cases out of a hundred,love in a
cottage means misery in a cottage.
The French proverb is true, that in
love, Van aitnc et Frnttre sc laisse
(timer. In tl ie love of wotner, there
is far less individuality than in the
love of men. The fact is, that to
most women, men are but hooks,
upon which they hang their general
desire to be affectionate, and between
one hook and another hook, they
have but very little choice. Habit,
too, is a very potent spell. Love is
but a fever, of very temporary char
acter. Married people who get on
well together, generally do so be
cause they arc united by a communi
ty ot interest, and they have acquired
a habit of partnership. If I were a
girl, and I liked a rich man, but loved
a poor man, and could marry "cither,
I should not hesitate a minute be
tween them, but I should marry the
rich man, and- be, if the occasion
presented itself, a kind sister to the
poor man. Nothing is more ridicu
lous than the theories of marriage
that are propounded for the benefit of
girls.

“ As certain members of the Elec

nreliensiorts as to the motives and
considerations which induced the
creation of the Commission, and the
hope is indulged that a brief narra-
live from one who was present, as a
witness'and ao' or, front the concep
tion to the final consummation, and
who has no cause or inclination to
conceal or withhold any fact or oc-
CJrronce, will dispel -all doubts and

A REVIEW.
The excitement of the election had
been rolmigcd and was intense.
The House was Democratic, the
Senate Republican. Each claimed
that its candidate had been elected.
Each thoroughly understood its own
position, its strong and weak points.
Never did it underestimate the fact
and resources of its opponents. The
returns, single and duplicate, were in
the actual possession of the President
of the Senate, and he was ready to
count or dispose of them at such time
and iu such manner ns bis party
friends in caucus might direct. The
Democratic members ot the two com
mittees assented'to this measure with
the full belief and expectation that
Judge Davis, would-be appointed the
fifteenth member and umpire. He
was the senior oi the remaining asso
ciates, was the only one qnulitied by
freedom from political bias, which,
together with his learning and integs
vity, eminently fitted him for the
place; and when, in addition to all
this, two of the four associates were
Democrats, it was not strange that
we were all confident that no one else

Messrs. Clifford and Field to make
public the fact tbat at tbe first meet

for Judge Davis and persisted in so
doing, though Judge Strong assured
them that Davis would not accept;
and it was only at the meeting on the
following day, when Mr. Strong pre
sented a written communication from

position, that they reluctantly voted
for Judge Bradley.
