Hupsox sMiLe oN Dawson, MR. Jay?” NCOURAGED,” ‘HAS SHE SAID ANYTHING 2?" “No, BUT WHEN HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND HER WAIST LAST NIGHT, HER LAP-DOG LICKED HIS HAND.” UNWELCOME TRUTHS. i has always given LIFE pleasure to take woman's part against the lowet animals, including man; but he feels himself in a false posi- tion when called upon to hammer a woman for assailing her own sex. in the North American Review, says: he immense area which lies open to her in private life is almost entirely uncultivated, yet she wants to be admitted into public life. Public life is already overcrowded, verbose, incompetent, fussy, and foolish enough without the addi- tion of her in her sealskin coat with the dead humming bird on her hat. Woman in public life would exaggerate the failings of men, and would not have even their few excellences. Their legislation would be, as that of men is too often, the offspring of panic or prejudice ; and she would not put on the drag of common- sense as man frequently does in public assemblies. There would be little to hope from her humanity, nothing from her liberality ; for when she is frightened she is more ferocious than he, and when she has power more merciless.” This is strong language and it may be true ; in fact, there is no doubt that it is true. But then, it is an unpleasant thing to believe, and why should we believe it if we don’t want to? R. JACOBSOHN, about to start for Europe, was asked * What if the boat sinks?
