It Is desirable on euoh an 000aeion as the above that a large representation of the united bodiee in a united spirit be pres- ent. Ssn Tiouokre,—Saaroely do we glance over the pages of the Weekly papers without seeing some item which shooks our very that and fills oar hearts with sorrow. The article in last week'a issue of Tun Poar, and other prominent newspapers, referring to the sad, death of Miss Match and the oowa`rdly and deoeit- fuloondaot of the young man, Fenton gave rise to those unpleasant thoughts, so' oommenly experis Toed by all true thinking and true noting people. But although this ease is to ae a particularly rad one we cannot allow it to pane with, tilt offering a few words of comment. TuE BRUSSEI Both paxtiee ars to ua entire etrangerar bat the young man referred 10, .11 news. paper reports are to be relied upon, is nevertheless in our eyes anything bat a true gentleman and how the unfortunate young lady failed to nee him in his true eolere before it wan too late is to us a mystery, To aooept an offer of mar• nage on any snob conditions as report. ed allows a great weakness on the part of any young lady. It le true that a great amount of blame is attaobed to young men found guilty of suob conduob an that referred to in this particular cave, and it is quite right that such should be done. Indeed we feel that we oannot find lap - ginkgo to condemn :moll conduct OS ib deserves, but on bbe other band there ie always a tendency to exonerate the young ladies. We do nob purpose defending had oonduot, bub we intend to Jay the blame, or a share of it at least, on the weaker sox. We say let young men be what they may, let them aot aa they may, there is no reason why ayoung lady should not not in a ladylike manner. Judging from oiroumstanaea seen and rend of we are almost persuaded to be lieve that young ladies completely lose their reasoning powers when they become associated with the oppositeeex. Indeed. we are sorry to say of our lady friends that too many enjoy a trolio with men of such character as the young man above referred to, in fact judging from actions which speak louder than words, the more vulgarity a young man displays the more he is petted and fondled by . some young ladies. Suoh being the case is it any wonder that weebould ao frequently be galled upon to reoord snoh unfortunate and disgracefuloconrrenoes as that stated in the columns of so many papers a week ago.
