Much, if not most of the fun curint among young folks, consists in icking others to pieces. ai Bright people are given to use their w 'it very freely upon others who have 8V ae misfortune to come near them. ^ Vcmen especially regard the world hi utside their immediate circle as creted to afford them amusemeut, not of er tie most amiable kind. They are dieriminating enough to see what under- [j: es and offsets the peculiarity which b< rovokes their fun.
