National Characteristics of Woman.— English woman is respectful and proud; the French woman is gay and agreeable; the Italian is ardent and passionate; the American is sincere and affectionate. With an English woman love is principle; with a French woman—caprice; with an Italian it is a passion; withan American it isa sentiment. A man is married to an English lady; united to a French woman; cohabits with an Italian; and is wedded toan American. An English woman is anxious tosecure a lord, a French womana companion; . jnst. ‘The Whigs carried everything. Mr. an Italian a lover; an American a husband. The Englishman respects his lady ; the the seven Wards, and his aggregate majority . Frenchman esteems his companion : the American loves his wife. At night the Englishman returns to his house ; the Frenchman to his establishment ; the Italian to his retreat; the Americaf’ to his home. When an Englishman is sick, his lady visits him: when a Frenchman is’ sick, his companion pities him ; when an . } Italian is sick,his mistress sighs over him ; . when American is sick, his wife nurses him; . . . . . \ when an Englishman dies, his lady is bereaved: when a Frenchman dies, his com . $528,000 00] panion grieves ; when an Italian dies, his ‘ soden stoping of her breath.” +The Mormons have invented a new alphabet by which the word e/ght is spelt at, and many other orthographical brevities are . . achieved. _ dvappears, further, that our Judges are inclined,torule any indictment found for fighting a duel out of court In this case we do not know whether the court or the Dis— nagar is should shoulder the responeae ae ae sibility.

A Newfoundland dog in Boston lost the wire muzzle from his nose as he was passing along Kilby street a morning or two since. Instead of passing along without it,as many dogs would have doue, he paused and gravely reinstated his nose in his wicker covering, and distending his jaws so as to keep it in its place, went on his way, seemingly conscious of the laws and determined to respect them. The Boston Chronicle is responsible for the story. Still Another Victim of Spiritualism.

National Characteristics of Woman.— English woman is respectful and proud; the French woman is gay and agreeable; the Italian is ardent and passionate; the American is sincere and affectionate. With an English woman love is principle; with a French woman—caprice; with an Italian it is a passion; withan American it isa sentiment. A man is married to an English lady; united to a French woman; cohabits with an Italian; and is wedded toan American. An English woman is anxious tosecure a lord, a French womana companion; . jnst. ‘The Whigs carried everything. Mr. an Italian a lover; an American a husband. The Englishman respects his lady ; the the seven Wards, and his aggregate majority . Frenchman esteems his companion : the American loves his wife. At night the Englishman returns to his house ; the Frenchman to his establishment ; the Italian to his retreat; the Americaf’ to his home. When an Englishman is sick, his lady visits him: when a Frenchman is’ sick, his companion pities him ; when an . } Italian is sick,his mistress sighs over him ; . when American is sick, his wife nurses him; . . . . . \ when an Englishman dies, his lady is bereaved: when a Frenchman dies, his com . $528,000 00] panion grieves ; when an Italian dies, his ‘ soden stoping of her breath.” +The Mormons have invented a new alphabet by which the word e/ght is spelt at, and many other orthographical brevities are . . achieved. _ dvappears, further, that our Judges are inclined,torule any indictment found for fighting a duel out of court In this case we do not know whether the court or the Dis— nagar is should shoulder the responeae ae ae sibility.
