80 THE COUNTRYMAN. TURNWOLD, GA., DECEMBER 1, 1862. Wit in Women. “It has been said that to excel them in wit, is a thing the men find it the most dif ficult to pardon in women. This feeling, if it produce only emulation, is right: if envy, it is wrong. For a high degree of intellectual refinement in the female is the surest pledge society can have for the im provement of the male. But wit in wo men is a jewel, which, unlike all others, borrows lustre from its setting, rather than bestows it, since nothing is so easy as to fancy a very beautiful woman extremely witty. Even Madame de Stael admits that she discovered, as she grew old, the men could not find out that wit in her at 50, which she possessed at 25 ; and yet the ex ternal attractions of this lady were by no means equal to those of her mind.” “Matches, wherein one party ip all pas sion, and the other all indifference, will as similate about as well as ice and fire. It is possible that the fire will dissolve the ice; but it is most probable that it will be ex tinguished in the attempt.” “ It is only when the rich are sick, that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.” “The keenest abuse of our enemies will not hurt us so much in the estimation of the discerning, as the injudicious praise of our friends.” ADVERTISEMENTS.
