ROMANES AWRY.
(Mr. G. J. Romanes, lecturing at the Royal Institution on. the mental
differences between the sexes, accuses woman, of the defect, among others, of "not knowing her own mind.")

Not know her own mind ? What a scandalous flout!
Why a woman's chief charm is, she's never in doubt.
Believing, rejecting, or loving or hating,
She's always cocksure without pause for debating.
It was not a woman invented such trash
As Logic or Parliaments ; she at a dash.
Flies straight to conclusions, despising the plan
Of step by step premises—leaves them to Man,
The stupid slow goose who can't rule without laws,
Believe without reason, or hate without cause.
No, Mr. Romanes, you're quite off the track,
Lack of certainty is not a feminine lack.
Not know her own mind ? Our denial is flat;
She may know nothing else, but she always knows that!

A Scribe on Scribner.—Scribner's for April is a right good
number. Everyone will thoroughly enjoy the first instalment of
Thackeray's Letters. They are all addressed to the Rev. W. H.
Brookfield and Mrs. Brookfield, and commence even before Vanity
Fair was brought out, and Titmarsh became famous. The curiously
neat handwriting is occasionally given in fac-simile, and the letters
are illustrated by views and reproductions of the writer's sketches.
The Scribnerian venture improves as it progresses; the Thackeray
Letters alone are well worth the price of the number.
