Woman’s Power Over Man.

Eccentric bachelors, if you want to be cured of your oddities aud become polished Christians, marry! You, sir, with the slouching gait, the pocketed hands, the ill tailored frame, just pair off with a neat, smart little damsel, who has an eye for the picturesques, and Before the honeymoon is over she will so transfigure you that you will scarcely know yourself in the looking glass, according to a writer in the New York Ledger. “Beauty and the Beast” is ne fable. Many a monster” has been transformed into a gentleman •by the necromantic influence of a pretty woman. You, Sir Nimrod, whose talk is of double barrels and setters, of deer shooting on the Adirondacks, or moose huating in the Canada wilds, do you wish to be civilized and socialized? Doubtless you do. Then marry a true geutlewoman, and she will soon make you as gentle and gailant a cavalier as ever shawled a lady at tall or opera. Even the miser may be won from his golden pagoda by a generous wife, though it most be confessed that of all eccentricities the greed of riches is the most difficult to eradicate. The fact is that every eccentric bachelor is like a helmless ship that lia3 yawed more or less out of her proper course. A good wife’s advice is the tiller that he needs to bring his head round and steer him safely and happily over the sea of life.
