A SECRET SHE CAN KEEP. If You Would Know It Just Ask a Woman Her Age. BOME VERY UNGALLANT BSAWS. The Da hters Dickens Draws Mating Month A Woma pot—A Search Warrant for a Bride, May The proverbs of most countries are rich inall subjects relating to women, although frequently they are far from complimentary, says the American Notes and Queries, In , It is curious . Pource of literature should find so much ill-natured sarcasm—oftimes as unjust as it is untrue. According toa well-known Italian adage, ‘‘Whatever 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 To stem the torrent of & wom For if sho will, she will, you may depend on't, And if she won't, she won't, and there's an end o't The notion that woman cannot keep a gecret is embodied in many a proverb, and it is alluded to by kospearo, who makes Hotspur say to his wife, in King Henry 1V.: that in this wo Constant you are, ‘But yet a woman; and for secrecy No lady closer; for I well beliove Mhou wilt not utter what thou dost not know, And 50 far T will trust thee, gentle Kate. Mr. Kell remarks, in his little book on proverbs: “If there be truth in pro- Verbs, men have no right to reproach women for blabbing. A woman can at Jeast ke her own secret. Try hor on subjoct of her age.” The industry of woman has long ago become pro- werbial, as in the couplet: The woman thats honest, her chiefest delight Is still to be doing from morning till night With which w y compare the com- i woman’s worl 8 ne r On the other hand it was for- merly said of the woman who, after being a busy, indus maid, an indolent wife, hath her elbow at the church door, ceremony of the church porch oftentimes part of the mar was performed—hayving disab domestic duties. Thus anothe aflirmed how The wife that expec Is always at home, as if she were lame. According to our forefathers it did not look well for a wom gightsceing, ns such that she was 3 cated, and was too fond of pleasure. Hence it was usually said: A woman oft scen, a gown oft worn, Are disesteemed and held in scorn. Even at the present day, according to a well known Yorkshire proverb, A zonktown (a gossip) is seldom a good housewife at home.” Ma of our proverbs speak of the fickleness of bia the service her for lage to have a good name, <, )f a woman, and a bottle of wine, for a season, and last for a time. One adage tells us how ‘‘Maids say May and take—a kiss, a ring, or an offer " of murringe.” Qn tho same principle it has been commonly said: = “Take a woman's fivstadvice{'nd not her second.” Among some of th®many other prov- orbs reluting to women is the familiar one: There's nomischief in the world done But & woman is always one. This is somewhat severe judgment,and one which must be received with cau- tic According to another adage, on in mischief are wiser than and it was also said that Vomen's jars breed men’s wars.” The Germans have the following variation of this proverb: *“There’s no mischief done in the world but there'’s o w a st at the bottom of it.” »is_the popular proverb which “John 1s as good as my lady in " for, as an ancient Latin rminds us, *Blemishes are unseen by night.” Whether we agree with this statoment or not, yet, as Mr. Kelly re- “_ quarks, quoting the following lines: i The night Sliows stars and women in a better light: avith which may go the French -hyper- bole, “By candlelight a goat looks like e lady.” e Daughters Dickens Draws.

It is in the spring that ani- mated bheings feel the thrill of renewed itality and the pulsations of sympathy and joy, and May, in our latitude, is the quintessence of the vernal season, says the New York Ledger. The M festival of our English forefathers was of immemorial antiquity, and, although its symbolism wns lost sight of, it bore interesting testimony to the primeval recognition of the promptings of spring. If May were not pre-eminently the month of weddings, human beings would disobey an all-pervasive impulse of the world in which they live. They ean no more resist the incitation to connubial happiness that dawns with the vernal equinox, than they can withstand the sense of decay and depression that seems inseparable from the short December It was a profound physiological principle to Wh{oh Tenfyson gave tious expression in “‘Locksley Hall™: “In the spring a livelier iris changes on the burnished dove, Inthe spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of lov May ma felici- Tennyson is not, however, the poet who has been ' a close obser i 1 phenomena and who has 1 the heyday of vernal pansion, the animal as well as the veg ble world takes on a nc iod as the sweet rekindler of 1 impulse In Dante, in Pe- in Ariosto, in Clement Marot and 1, and in old English ballads, the snignant witchery of spring is signal- ized.

A good many young club men have been wondering all winter why the la- dies whom the escort to the th er other evening amusements object, with singular ununimity, to going to a cer- tain well known restaurant for a mid- night supper, says tho New York Sun. The cuisine and attendance there are univ sed, and the hotel is a very popu ting place with the la- dies of society in the daytime. “I have been puzazled all winter over this,” said a club man yesterday, ‘‘and only last night did I discover it. had been to the opera with a very charming young woman, As we dr the play I suggested this restaur: supper.

It is veraciously chronicled that once upon a time, while traveling west of Omaha, Mr. Charles Francis Adams was visited in his private car by a typical cowboy, dressed in regulation costume, says the New York Tribune.

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Uncle Manning s a horticulturist, and in the spring of 1822 was much troubled by an insect which attacked his trees, say: ton Journal. Justat this time there ap- peaved in the Palladium newspaper a mi- nute description of the insect, its origi progress and the best method minating it. Mr. Manning was so pleased with the article that he ordered several copies of the paper for distribution among his horticultural friends. At this time Hawthorne was a student at Bow- doin college, and happened to arrive home just when his uncle was receiving the paper and commenting freely on the article. Hawthorne said to a young friend, “I wrote that article.” ~*‘But what do you know about bugs?” inquired his friend, “Nothing,” was the reply; 1 wrote it to pass away an idle hour, and it was entirely made up from my imagination. Now, if Uncle Robert should find it out he wonld be very angry; so you must keep my secret. I have not the slightest knowledge of this or any other insec! 2 Bismarck Got His Boots.
