I was really under the impression that we were discussing themerits and demerits, the why’s and where- fores of Bloomerism, while the article before me from Sally’s pen is fertile in ‘* Woman's Sally’: homeless situation, I trust some bachelor needing a carefi will see to,) the excessive politeness to which she is subjected, to which is added a very pifying state of mind under which she been and is laboring; her own remarkable beauty, (to whieh L have no claims to plead guilty) and last though not least, the very satisfying discovery, as where to classify me And firet I must acknow- ledge the fact that it is a much easier and pleasenter task to answer ‘‘ pert’’ people than to enlighten ignorant ones Sally, our “‘den’’ is not guarded by danger- ous dragons, nor is it entered by charmed por- hould you call, a sweet little Ger- man maid will show you the “den” of the *whose nails are closely pared that her scratches may not be dangerous, should she become enraged; though she is not easily excited, and pertectly docile sayo when irri- tited. But then, Sally, younced have no fear, for her “den” is quite commodious, and you being (what she is not) a great favorite among gentlemen, can bring a small /ost along who would be most hapy case of dire need to have so fine an opportu’ of showing their devotion to your charm: while they protected you from her fangs and ugliness: give their gallantry one more test. As to joining that “ committee of the whole,” being accustomed to stand a/ane, I shall ask ed from its number when it as. sembles. I see no occasion to adopt the ** cos- tume of the sterner sex”’ because superior in point of merit, and decidedly more tasteful for me; then I have not the slightest Lope of “ winning a husband in Washington,” for it takes a ** man’ to win and wed a Bloomer. Again, if L ever get married, (avery unlikely thing indecd,) I hope to get one smart enough to wear his own “ breeches,”’ while I stand true, under his protection and man/y pport. This usurping authority is something on't like, and hope I shall never be guilty of; but I do like a strong character, capable of sustaining its own individuality though the world of ‘Sally Suztiowers’’ may scoff, sneak- ing, aud write pithy newspaper articles wish to usurp none of my brother's manliness Poor fellows, most of them have litt!e enough now.

Sur mon honnewr Yours, L. Saver ce TACT vs. TALENT. Talent is something, but not everyth ing, Talent is serious, suber’ grave. and er 4 Tact is all that and more too; it is not a 56. yenth, but it is the life of all the five senses: it is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen smell, and the lively touch ; it is the interpreter of all riddles, the surmount- er of all difficulties, the remover of all obsta- cles. Lt is useful in all places and at all times; it is useful in solitude, for it shows a man bis way into the world. Talent is power; tact is skill. Talent is weight; tact ix momentum. Talent knows what todo; tact knows how to doit. Talent makes a man respectable; tact will make him respected. Talent is wealth; tact is ready money. For all the practical purposes of life, tact carries it against talent ton toone. Take them tothe theatre, and put them against each other on the stage, and talent shall produce such a tragedy that will fearcely live long enough to be condemned, while tact keeps the house in a roar, night af- ter night, with its successful farces, There is no want of dramatic talent, there is no want of dramatic tact, but they arc seldom togeth- er, hence we have successful pieces which are not respectable, and respectable pieces which are not successful. Take them to the bars, and let them shake their learned curls at each other, in legal rivalry. Talent sees its way clearly, but.tact is first at its journey’s end. Talent receives many a compliment from the bench, but taet receives fees from attorneys logically; taet, triumphantly. Talent makes the world wonder that it gets on no faster; tact excites astonishment ihat it gets on so fast—and the secret is that it has no weight to carry it makes no false step, it hits the right nail on the head, it loses no time; it takes ail hints, and, by keeping its eye on the weather- cock, is ready to take advantage of every wind that blows. Take them into the cburch. Talent is always something worth hearin, ; may obtain a living; tact will make one. Talent gets a good name; tact a great one Talent conquers; tact convinces. Talent is an boner from the profession. Take them to the court, Tal- ent feels its weight. Tact finds its way. Tal- yle of | ent commands; tact is obeyed.

Itseems _ kno Without learning any- thing; it needs no dniling: it never ats the awkward Squad; it has no left hand, ne deaf ear, no blind side. It puts on no looks ef wondrous wisdom; it has no air of profun- dity, but plays with the detail of place as dex- terously as a well taught hand flourishes over the keys of the pianoforte. It has all the airs of commonplace, and all the force and power of genius. It can change sides with an almost imperceptible movement, and be at all points of the compass, while talent is pon- derousiy and learnedly sifting a single poiut. Talent calculates slowly, reasons logically and reason; tact refutes without contradic- tion, puzzles the profound with out profundity, and without art outwits the wise. Set them together on a race for popularity, and tact Should [} will distance talent by balfthe course. Talent brings to market that which is wanted: tact produces that which is wished for. Talent in- structs; tact enlightens. Talent leads where eeded; tact is delighted that it has suc- ded.
