The following poetic satire has been communicated to the Morning News by a man correspondent, with request for a speedy publication as a relief to his oppressed mind. Whether tak en as an envious wail of despair at his downfall or as a friendly masculine desire to correct the other sex, it is a convincing argument of the preju dices of man: If you wish to excel In all social frivoli ties, Fitting a vapid condition of mind. Take some of the imbecile latter-day jollities Drafted by woman —for woman design ed. The matutlne session, where rank in sipidity Dawdles in euchre from ten until two; With baubles to stimulate innate cu pidity, And dishes compounded in tasteless ragout. The afternoon function, where rumor malicious is Mouthed with a biscuit, and swallow ed with teas: Where carnage of virtuous merit de licious is— Gossip a frenzy, and slander disease. The shirt-waist convention termed club, or society— Flaunted to awe and to emulate man — Where twaddle exults In verbose in ebriety: Pompous tomfoolery: mental cancan. Enlist In these horrors, and practice them greedily. Squandering talents, and money, ar.d time; And you. my dear madam, will matu rate speedily A leader of fashion as known to this clime. Verb. Sap.
