FEMALE MAXIMS.
( \ew York Star.) \
Women ask of men. if thoy are dis creet, as men ask of women "Is she pretty ? " Friendship between women is only a suspension of hostilities. Women who have not Sue teeth ! oulv luu ji- wi'h lu'ir eyes. j Wil- •V -v c., ,- M '.'. ience oi ;y ••mik ; -ni 1- s-. Why should a man live two lives . while a woman must stand or fall by one? Man is fi.e ; woman is a cinder ; the ' Devil sets them a blazing. I There is no mortification, however ; keen, no misery, however desperate, : which the spirit of women cannot in • some degree lighten or alleviate. I The action of woman on our destiny is unceasing. ! I Wo m an conceals only what she does j not know. i Wmm is *n.n*e constant in hatred than in love. One must be a woman to know how iv revenge. Women of the world never use ha:sh words when condynning their rivals. ! Like the sa\a.e th»y use elegant ' arrows, ornamented with purple and azure, but with poisoned points. At twenty in.tn is less in love with woman than of women ; he is more in , love with the sex than of the mdi- j vidual however charming she may be. ; A woman is a charming creature, who changes her heart as easily as her gloves. j A woman and her servant, acting in accord, would outwit a thousand I devils.
