As to Origin. Sovereign Wc
The woman was made of a rib out of the :
Adam. Not made out of his head to top hir
out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; t
of his side to be equal with him, under his am
protected, and near his heart to be beloved
When Eve brought woe to all mankind,
Old Adam called her wo-man;
But when she wooed with love so kind,
He then pronounced her woo-man;
But now, with folly and with pride,
Their husbands' pockets trimming,
The women are so full of whims,
That men pronounce them wimmen.
Anonyn
Woman, they say, was only made of man,
Methinks 'tis strange they should be so unlike,
It may be all the best was cut away
To make the woman, and the nought was left 1
With him. Beaumont and Flow

Mere Man. As to Youth and Age.
The old man looks down and thinks of the past;
The young man looks up and thinks of the future;
The child looks everywhere and thinks of nothing.
Young men soon give and soon forget affronts;
old age is slow in both. jooeph Addison.
Manhood, when verging into age, grows thought-
fill. CapelLcflt.
Men of age object too much, consult too long, ad-
venture too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive
business home to the full period, but content mem-
selves with a mediocrity of success. Fnada Bmcotk
Young men think old men fools, and old men know
young men to be so. ^^^ ^ Camd(m M , ^^ ^
Dr. MetcatC
Money is time; the millionaire is your only Me-
thuselah. Imel Zangwffl.
To be seventy years young is sometimes far
more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.

There are many instances of immoral men who

As to Dining.
All human history attests
That happiness for man— the hungry sinner!
Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner.
He was an ingenious man that first found out eat-
ing and drinking. De» swkl
. . . But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without books, — what is knowledge but
grieving;?
He may live without hope, — what is hope but deceiv-
ing?
He may live without love, — what is passion but pin-
ing?
But where is the man that can live without dining?
Owen Meredith.
At no other time is a man's feeling of companion-
ship with a woman so strong as when he sits at table
with her — not a decorated and becatered and be-
waitered table, but at a homely, appetizing, whole-
some home table. Booth T«rkin£ton.
A man is in general better pleased when he has a
good dinner than when his wife talks Greek.
Samuel Johnson.

As to Poets. I
A poet may be a good companion, but, so iar as I
know, he is ever the worst of fathers. Even as grand- I
father, he is too near, for one poet can lay a streak of ||
poverty over three generations.
Irving Bacheller.
Was ever there a true lyric poet who did not at [
[east once in his early days believe himself the victim |
of a heartless woman?
F. Marion Crawford.
Poets are all who love, who feel great truths
And tell them ; and the truth of truths is love.
Philip Jan
» Bailey.
Most wretched men
Are cradled into poetry by wrong;
They learn in suffering what they teach in song,
Percy ByMhe Shelley.
Poets utter great and wise things which they do |
lot themselves understand. plato

jrder, "Those who are free throughout the world."
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

And then the whining school-boy, with his

Unwillingly to school. And then, the lover,

As to Selfishness.
Man of all ages is a selfish animal and unreason-
itole in his selfishness. It takes every one of us in
urn many a shrewd fall in our wrestlings with the
world to convince us that we are not to have every-
hing our own way. ThomM Hughe8 .
Men, even the worthy ones who will make sacri-
ices in the big things, which women cannot nerve
hemselves to meet, are proverbially selfish in all those
ittle things that make or mar the life of every day.
Lavinia Hart.
When a man says he sees nothing in a book, he
rery often means that he does not see himself in it —
which, if it is not a comedy or a satire, is likely enough.
Julius «nd Augustus Hare.
A man with a mission is a devouring lion who
says no heed to time, or place, or feelings, or indi-
viduals. IuIian s . lDh _

Mere Man. As to Looks.
Good looks in a man, as a very celebrated woman
once remarked, are superfluous. A handsome man
attracts attention, and so he has a certain preliminary
advantage over a rival who is plain ; yet mis counts
for very little in the end. John Wilkes, who was more
than ugh/, knew women well when he said, "Give me
half an hour's start, and I am not afraid of the
handsomest man in England." Harry Thurston Peck.
A great, good, handsome man is the first of
Created beings. Charlotte Bronte.
A Little Girl's Opinion of Men.
" Men are ugly. They are dirty. They say, 'Come
here, my little girl, and I will give you something*—
then when I go to them they try and kiss me. And
I will not kiss mem, because their mouths smell bad.
They stroke my hair and pull it all the wrong way ;
and it hurts. And when I don't like my hair pulled
the wrong way, they tell me I will be a great
Coquette." Marie Corellt
That man is not fit to join the honorable ranks of
the bald who cannot spread and plaster down three
hairs until they cover the entire top of his cranium.
Charles P. Buxton.

As to Riches.
I would have every man rich, that he might know
the worthkssness of riches. Ralph waido Emum.
The rich man's son inherits cares:
The bank may break, the factory burn,
A breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft white hands could hardly earn
A living that would serve his turn.
1
Every man Ekes to make money. Even clergy-
men find it their duty to accept a call from the congre-
gation which affords the best salary, and probing men
of science do not hesitate to reap the harvest from a
wonderful invention. Rob«tOr«it.
Supposing a man had the wealth of the Czar
Of the Russias to boot, for the rest of bis days,
On the whole, do you think he would have much to I
spare
If he married a woman with nothing to wear?
WODam Alton Butler.
