it was floated over somewhat in the following
graceful ami telling style :
The history of Gallantry carries'tis back
to the creation, for about tlie first thing we
hear of Adam in'making love to Eve, and
the antique pages of Jewish and Christian
history carry forward the same story. So,
too, with heathen records, for the accounts
of the life of Jupiter tell us of an endless
series of love affairs, in the course of which

golden shower; and I am afraid the deity
lias never failed to have plenty of disciples.
Princes, kings and heroes whom I have
met have been as pliant as common mortals
; philosophers and generals of ancient
as well as modern times, have yielded to
the spell. No small portion of the history
of Aleihiades, Demosthenes, Caesar, Alexander,
Napoleon, is closely connected with
gallantry ; and here let me relate a "curious
storv, showing the rower of love and
gallantry over the wise philosopher- Aristotle,
the tutor of Alexander the Great. Alexander
had fallen in lovo with a/Beautiful
woman, and was devoting himself to her
instead of aflVtrs of ambition. Aristotle, by
ridiculing the passion of love, induced the
king to return to the councils and the conduct
of the State and neglect his cnohanrcss.
This piqued the beautiful lady, who
bore tho pbsence of ber kindly lover aa long
fis she could, and thon sought his presence,
Find once more chained liitn to her charms.
Lie told hef the causc of 'his neglect, and
she determined that Aristotle should refract
hia ridicijje.?' Sp 'she contrived to
present herself alluringly on the lawn before
the abode of the philosopher, and attract
his attention from his.books by sweet
Binging. Ue'irtimediately conceived a violent

js- credit in New York was at once destroyed,
i a and on instigating the source ot the ru.u

on considerable inquiry, that it was based on
us the statement of tbose "mercantile agencies"
d, which are a disgrace to tho'business of New
u- York, that their property liere was covered
in* by mortgage to prevent their creditors from

Jo could have,been readily disproved by a

lie done before its nature and source could be
