Indeed, it is curious that in some sources of Iterature we should nd so much ill-natured sarcasm—often- ‘times as unjust ag it 18 untrue, On the other hand, many of the traits of woman's character are very cleverly and aptly depicted, and occasionally put man {oan inferior light. Thus the strength of her influence 1s indisputable, and has given rise {to & host of old proverbs. “Whaterer a woman Will, she can,” a saying which has its equivalent in other countries. Hence, too, we are warned how— The man's a fool who thinks by force or skill To atom tue torrent o” e woman's will: depend ont, For'f she w li, sha will ou may Asiaitshe wank abe wou, and’ there's an end on't. yithin: lunes may be compared the common maxim, “A Woman convinced against her wiil 1s of toe Same opimion stil.” Whether it be called ob- stinucy or no, there can be no doubt thata strong wil on the part of a woman ts no woeuviable char- acteristic; being one, also, whica fs Invaluable tO then Whéa engayed in the business of life.

With whtch we may compare the common maxim, “A woman's work is never at an end.” On the other hand, tt was. f ‘said of the woman Wuo, after being « busy industrious maid, became au indoieat wife, “she hath broken an elbow at the churen door,” the ceremony of the church poreh—wnere oftentimes part of the Was performed—having disabled her for duties, Thus auotuer adage affirmed how ‘The wife that expects to have a food name Isuiwayn st homey as if'she were lame. dovending to our toretninern ic Gd noe lost: well woman to Ways ‘alghtseet Was an indication that she Was not sufficiently domesticated, and was too fond of pleasure. Hence, 4% was usually said: A wom nooft seen, a gown oft worn, Are discateened aud hal! tm scoen. Even at the preseut day, according toa well-known Yorkshire proverb, “a’ zonktowa"—« gosslp—"is ife at home.” Many of our old proverbs speak of the fickleness of women, but y this 18a Itbel on their constancy. We hav only to refer to the pages of our own history in centuries past to prove the falsity of this asser- tion. to the same purport, and @ popular one reminds us that a womag's inind and winter change oft; and agatn— The love of a woman and a bottle of wine Are sweet for a suagon and last for a time. Francis I, of France, it may be remembered, wrote Chateau of Chambord these words: “A womal changes oft; who trusts her is right soft.” Ac. cording to'Mr. Jeaffreson, in bis “Brides and Bridals,” it was partly due to fickleness and hest- tancy that women were prone to do the very thing Which, at the very moment of doing tt, they de- clare they would never do. ‘Thus one adage tes us how “inaids say nay, and take a kiss, ring, or an offer of marriage.” On the same principle 1t luas been commonly said, “take a woman's first ad- ¥ice, and not her second.” ‘The reason for this ts that women are apt to iaen in quickness of intuition, Raving, to quote Dr. Trench’s words, “What Montaigne ascribes to them 1s a remarke- ble word, Esprit Prime-Sautler—the leopard’s Spring, which takes fts prey, If it be totake it at all, at the first bound.” “Among some of the many other proverbs relatiog to Women Is the familiar one— ‘There's no mischief in the world done Bute woman is Slways one. ‘This 13 @ somewhat severe judgment, and one which must be received with afl caution” “Accord. to another “Women im mischief are wiser than men,” and it 13 sald tuat “Women’s Jars breed men’s wars.” The Germans have the following variation of this proverb: “There's 20 mischief done in the world but there’s a womun or & priest at the bottom of it,” An old adage, which has become & household saying, wich a slight amendment for the benefit of children,is this: pornidens, must be seen and. not heard,” & piece o¢ Proverbial philosophy, indeed, which’ but ual recognition in tnése days of women's rights Hence, the familar saying that “silence is tue Dest ornament of a woman,” although true in the abstract, one which nowada) ts considered antiquated. And even as Mr. Jeaffreson rightly remarks, “When we concede to woman the ot her tongue, proverbial philosophy insists, In bar. mony with’Snaki im opinion, that shesho talk gently, In accordance With the wise precept, ‘1B the husband wisdom, in the wife gentleness’'” The talking propensities of women have been em- bolied tn Uc not very Qaitering prover whlch {ells us how “Three women and geese make a market.” Turning in the next place to the beauty of woman, there are numerous sayings. ‘Thus we are reminded that “the nore women 100k tu their glasses the jess they look to thelr houses;” and, again, “a fair Woman and a Slashed gown will always find some nail in the way,” the meaning, of course, being that Women are apt vw be negligent houseXeepers in proportion as they value their per- sonal attractions. ‘Then there is the popular prov- erb which says that “Joan Is as good as my lady in But the majority of old English proverbs are | ‘one day With a diamond on the window of the | ern Dude. ‘From Chambers’ Journal. Aleibiades, whose powers of pleasing were such that, according to Plutarch, “no man was so sullen Dut he would make him merry, or so churlish but he would make him gentle,” was the earliest dandy of whom history informs us; and Beau Nash and George Brammeil have been classed among the latest, But foppery is not dead set, hor will 1t be untii the end of time, We can, how- ever, console ourselves with the fact that. the fop- pery of to-day 1s of a much milder type than that Which prevailed in the days of Lucullus, wno, according to Horace, had 5,000 rich purple robes in hig house. ‘The earliest andies were, it appears, known as “‘fopdoddies.” Butler mentions them in his Hudturas: You have been roaming— he says— Where broke your noddle, Aud haudied youtike t foptodite. Coming to the time of the English revolution, Wend that the designation by which fops were Known had changed several times. “It was a favorite amusonient of dissolute Souns, gentle mea,” says Macaulay, “to swagger by night abou the towa, breaking windows, upsetting. sedans, Dealing quiet men and offering 1ude caresses. to retty women, Several dyuasties of iuese tyrants Mince the restoration, comincered over the streets.

Next we come to the Macaronies, who were $0 called because they introduced Italtan macaroni at Almack’s subscription table. Addison gives the foilowing derivation: ‘*Thete is,” he says, “a set of merry dolis whom tue common people of “all coun- tries admire, and seem to love so well that the conid eat them, according to the old proverb; mean those circumforaneous wits whom every nation cails by the name of that dish of meat which it loves best.

As Tadvaneed to manhood my affiction increased until the malady became harassing and painful beyond the power of words to describe. My right leg particularly became fearfully in- volved, the left leg being less painfully affected. Finally, sbout fourteen years ago, the ulcers on. my right leg had eaten through the flesh into the bone. In onder to nave my life the doctors determined to amputate my leg below the knee. ‘The operation was mucceasfully performed by Dr. H. V. M. Miller, of Atlanta, and @®r. W.P. Bond, of Lithonia But the loss of my leg gave me only temporary relief. The poison was ‘still in my system and soon began to show itaelf again, Ina short tine after large ulcers ap- peared on my left leg, covering it from the kuee tothe instep. Frequently while at work Icowd be tracked by the blood which oozed from the huge ulcers, and the sores and rottening holes were 0 offensive that my fellow-work:nen could not stand the stench and would move away from me. ‘Last winter I was persuaded to try 8.8.8. As & last effort I consented to do so, and about seven months ago I began taking the Specific. T 00m bean to feel the good effects of the medi- cine, the offensive running began to grow less and less and finally ceased, the ulcers healed, wy flesh became firm and solid. and to-day, After using twenty-one bottles, I am as hale and stout s man of my age as there is in Georgia. I ‘aun seventy-one years olf, but feel now younger ‘and stronger than I did when I was twenty-five. weigh about 170 pounds, Nothing is to be oven of the terrible disease, or to remind me of the torture I suffered for so many years, except the scars of the perfectly healed uicera, I want the world to know of tho almost miraculous cure effected on me by S. 8.8., and. Teall upon those who wish to know the particu- larsdirectly from me to write,and I will consider ita pleasure as well asa duty to answer thelr letters, I refer to Dr. W. P.
