FATALITY AMONG Honsns-Lls IT Tim CALTLE DISEASE ‘Zâ€"Yesterday morning, a ‘horse, while attached to one of Peacock’s Cily Express wagons, on Adelaide street, opposite the Court House, fell down dead. The horse we learn, was in good health and the cause of death is unknown. A horse, while drawing one of the Don Brewx'y wag- ons, fell down on Church street, and is not expected to live. One of the Bay Street ‘steamer horses, owned by Mr. John Irwin, ,died last night, ofinflammmion ofthe lungs. l Bud ventilation in the stables is supposed to ‘Lbe the cause of it. A cai‘ter’s horse fell dead zye terday afternoon, while drawing a. load along one of the streetsâ€"Globe. The steamer Ironsides, which arrived at Det, oit on Sunday evening, from Lake Supe- rior, reports that on the way down a large fire could be seen raging somewhere near Lac La Belle, another near Fourteen Mile Point, and a small one back of Marquette. Probably, most of these fires, possibly all of them, were in the woods. Whole N0. 2'75. fifell, this is the greatest nonse‘rise,’ixi When I look around me and see the Ways of man, I am‘ surprised ; but when I see the ways of woman, I am thunder- struck. What a world of wonders we have! Every one is aiming at some- thing above his reach , work is dcsPised, _ and the young ladies of the present day seem to think it a disgrace, to be found cooking a dinner or washing clothes. If I a gentleman comes to the door and none of the ladies are dressed to receive him, what a liubbub, with brushing and dres- - sing and fixing and fussing, and then Miss Dibden comes to the door and makes a thousand apologies for her dress, confesses she was assisting a little, and gives numerous reasons for why she was doing so. Now this is one thing that alWays puzzled me why such a thing should be thought necessary. If a man is a gentleman,- he Won’t feel it to be his duty to ask any lady how many hours in the day she spends in the kitchen ; and if he is a man of mind, he will admire the very dignity which will not allow her to apologise for what ought to be. Indeed, I think it would be a disgracr- ful thing, to see a lady portbrming the various cleaning and securing,r processes, decked out in evenng attire. The only reason I can find for this is that women , a don’t feel their importance sufficiently.- Now, we gentlemen, we don’t care who see us with our sleeves up and our smock all paint, and we never feel re- quired to-mako any apology; how is this ?' Why, we feel our true position; we don’t expect anything else but to be appreciated, and what is the consequence, why the ladies think far more of the in!I 1 dependent gentlemen,- than they do of the other spooney’s who are forever twisting the corners of their moustache and can. tering their whole thoughts and attentions on a prolongation of the physiogno'my called a. goatec. But apart from this, what is going to become of the children of Canada, who have been trained in this manner. Boys and girls Who 1188‘ pise work, and cannot Want, why-it just comes to this, they must either Work or beg. Vv'hy do parents conceal this fact from their children,- because they Want the path to be smooth for them § 71di ‘ want their sons to marry heires'sés‘, and. their daughters, professional men; They want said parties to think that as their 1 children have been brought up in luxury, it was because», they could .afi'ord it, &8£ 3 country ,where one man cana‘estimate . anothcr's resources to withinafew pounds" reckon his probable outlay, and cast 0 his savings, or, as often, perhaps, ‘liabili- family were to fail or be taken any, then what, why the sons would learn to loaf, or be a kind of hangers on, and the daughters would have to marry for 6' home, and because they were not wealthy, they could not marry wealthy gentlemen"; and so they mufi marry some one who must support them by labour, and they, as true wives, should assist in providing for their household.
