Aow uutl then it disappointed man un dertakes to "make a digest" of this popu lr siihjdej; and thus writes One or them on the subject in which wo nrc nil (pros pectively, presently or retrospectively 1 somewhat interested: ?'Marriage is by no means n necessary sequent to love, for, as the l'rcuch well say, those who are 'always in low' are 'never married.' Juvenile grand passions are particularly lloeting, and the Spanish | saying is n right true one, that -nova" lovo is water in a sieve.'. Nevertheless the (,'er nmns. assert that 'early marriage is Ion : Io\e. It may be so, and, as the Spaniard says, 'The bacon of Paradise for the mar ried mnn who iloes not repent.' How sel dom this celestial flitch will be granted, may be guessed from the saying, 'Bache lor, n peacock; betrothed, a lion; married an nss. The Dutchman toils voti that whoso is tired of happy days, let him lake a wife?and thus chimes in with the lines <>f an obi play writer?When I am weary ol the world I'll take a wile to mortify withal.' IJut if, as Thackeray says, no plan will accept the experience of another I in this matter, nor be frightened by the i warning advice, 'liefuro you marry, reflect j for it is a knot, difficult to untie;' ut least be cautious, and -before you marry haven j house to live in, fields to tiil, and vines to i cut. ******* | "But suppose Hint you liavo made vonr ? election, and are happy in the enjoyment ol 'requited direction,' do not boast your self of to-morrow, for though voti may be j as inalterable as the rock. 'Women are ns I fickle as April weathjir, and they are well I placed first among the 'four things that | put a man boside himscif?women, tobac co, cards and wine." Hut granting that you arc married?and in marriage it is 1 well to remember the Danish proverb j which advises you that 'n sad bride makes I a good wife'?do not count upon lasting | affection. If you whose 'day3 nrc in the i sere and yellow leaf have taken home ti | lovely spiing flower iu the fond hope that it will make your house more cheerful, vou . are grievously mistaken; too late you will j find out the truth of those words of Ten- j tonic wisdom?'A young wife is an old i | man s post-horse to the grave." Not to ! let a women have her own way is hardly ] better than to give up everything. Any how you will soon discover Unit 'where there is a wife, there is strife.' Vou must sacrifice all your friends on the hymeneal altar, lor 'all women arc gossips/ and gos sips would soon have sundered Jonathan and David, made enmity between Orestes and Pvlades, or turned Damon and Pythias into foes. 'A womnnVtongueisliersword and she does not let it rust.' She is fond ' ol giving 'a bit of her mind' to her ucigli- j uurs, and you will soon learn from thccold looks of your former chums and com- j | pauions that 'a truth-telling woman has j no friends.'" ******* ".Moreover, nfter 'you are dead do not flatter yourself that many tears will be shed by the bereaved, nor'vonr tomb long . decked with immortelle*; especially if vou have left her in good circumstances, for "a Vl idow laughs with one eye and weeps with the other at least so the Portugese nfiirnt. | Indeed you have hardly n right to expect ; tllttt the weeds will long remain worn, for j you ought to be well acquainted with the Spanish proverb, that 'A buxom widow i 1 must lie married, buried, or cloistered." | ?I'ew women turn gray because their bus- i bands die,' say the Danes." WHAT WOMK.V THINK" OF TIIEJISKLVBS. | Hut let us have a look through tbo oth er end of the glass I Sec what a woman says as to her sex's instinctive troodnos*. '?If women have ono weakness more marked than men, it is towards veneration. They nrc bor.i worshippers?makers of silver shrines for some divinity or other, which, of course, they always think, fell straight from heaven. The "first stop to wards their falling iu love with an ordina ry mortal is generally to dross him out with all mnnner of real or fancied superi ority: and having mndc him up, they wor ship him. Now, a truly great man, a man really grand and noble in art mid intellect, has this advantage with women, that he is an idol ready made to hand; and so that very pain taking and ingenious sex have less labor in potting him up. n'lid can be ready to worship him on shorter notice.? In particular is this the case where a sa cred profession and a moral suprcmncy nrc added to the intellectual. Just think of the career of celebrated preachers and divines in all ages. Does not poor old Richard Haxtor tell us. with delightful sin gle-heartedness, how his wife fell In lovo with him first, spite of his long pale fare; and how she confessed, dear soul, after many years or mnrried life, that she had found him Ictt sour and bitter than she had : expected? The fact is, women are burden ed with fenlty. faith, reverence, more than they know what to do with; they stand like a Ijodge of sweet peas, throwing out fluttering tendrils cverywherco for some thing high and strong to climb up by, and when they find it, bo it ever so rough in the bark, they catch upon it. And instan ces nro not wanting or those who have turned away from the flattery of admirers to prostrate themselves at "the feet or a genuine hero who never wooed thorn ex cept by heroic deeds and the rhetoric or a noble lire." A ryxirAi, PnEvctfiTAX once said there arc two parties to a lovo affair?the party ?who loves, and the party who consents to be so treated. Philological Slattern. [Tmm the X. Y. livening P<?t.] Degeneracy of style is a growing evil among the present race of literary meu. Fastidiousness i:i composition may bo car ried to an extreme, mid then it become* a uravo fault; but carelessness U " much greater fault, because it leads to more seri ous consequences. We have occasionally published communications from corres pondents pointing out the use ol wonls that are not English. as well as the uiisu?e of words that ure English, in the belief that well considered strictures on those snbjeeta will tend to iuduea a reformation of the designated errors. Experience, hott er shows that the remedy is very slow m its operation. , For example, we have of ourselves, or through jjur correspondents, shown that predicate does not mean to found: that cvu/'lr is not the synonym of two : that de mean docs not mean del/ate ; that parapher iia/ia docs not mean ornaments or ajicnua ce* aeneraHn; that stand point docs not mean a point of view; that -'ocer his sig nature" is a silly attempt nt accuracy : that either nnd neither cnn properly be applied to hut tiro objects; that the * added to haclward, forward, afterward, toward, &c., is a vulgarism ; that "our mutual Uieud is ton times more a vulgarism ; that lc>?? should never be used as an adverb ; that the phrase "Mr. White and lady is a \cry coarse Americanism ; that the addition of ef, to such words as director, manager, waiter, should be proscribed by a.l wlio nbhor an affectation of prettiuess and pre cisioii ; and so forth, and so forth, nnd so forth Vet we do not find tliiit t.icse and many kindred nuisances are perceptibly abated. Perhaps they never will be aba ted, although it remains a mystery to us how nnv man of cultivation, after seeing one of his inadvertencies thus pointed out, can persist in his error. We liavo iu our mind, at this moment, another word that is constantly misused, e\on by good writers; namely, dilapidate. This word comes directly from t.ie latin dilapido, that being a compound of di and iapido; and il seems strange that any out. can know even so much ot the origin the wor I and yet imsappreaend IU ex.ict and restricted significance ri'ela.inpie fix di is equivalent to the English m fix rf< or din; as cover, discover; populate, de populate; and thus, lapido is to sicar, and dilapido to unstone, or ./.-stone, l.e meaning, therefore, of dilapidate is cx .aij and exclusively the falling down or throw ing down of something?a wall, or a building, of any kind?"tai.e of stone. Anything constructed or made of malenals , other than stone, may be destroyed, or in jured, or decayed, but it cannot be dilap - daled. For instance, a dilapidated hoot'is one of the absurdif.es involved ? the , misuse of this word: and one might as ? well speak of employing a lapidary to mend bis hoot, of his dilapidated , Again, consequence is now perpetually used as the synonyme of importance, al tbou-li there la little, if ni'jtln"?, com j mon between the two words. ' ?"Se.?"Cj? u , signifies strict y sequences, t I low; importance means things of moment, ( ?without any reference to follow in0. . familiar phrase, "it's of no conncquonce | is always wrong. And, again, the \crb . leave is coming into constant use as an 111 transitive verb, as: "Brown was a.-y-c-t t? l-ar- instantly," "White left "I shall hare to-morrow, &e- I he ? r.-ason is frequently complicated " ' ccnsr, ns, "the reason for this i..

'? . lienslonTand are officiously thrust in.o^la co-. nlrendv better occupied bj l.f itiniiie words.
