The rain had fallen, the Poet arose, He passed by the town, and out of the street, A light wind blexv from the gates of the sun, And waves of shadow went over the wheat, And he sat him down in a lonely place, And chanted a melody loud and sweet. That made the wild-swan pause in her cloud, And the lark drop down at his feet. The swallow stopt as he hunted the bec, The snake slipt under a spray, The wild hawk stood with the down on his beak And stared, with his foot on the prey, And the nightingale thought, "I have sung many But never a one so gay, [songs, For he sings of what the world will he When the years have died away." p,toUa&foUo. THE SALMON HARVEST. The headquarters of the North American Boundary Commission, to which the writer was naturalist, were situated about a mile and a half up stream frcrn this spot, on the bank of the Columbia, where its width is four hundred yards, and the distance from the sea, in round numbers., about one thou sand miles. For twenty miles above our barracks flows the Columbia smooth and glassy as a pond; then, with rapidly increasing velocity rush ing on, is split by an island, just prior to its dashing over a mass ot volcanic rocks, occu pying the full breadth of the chasm through which it passes, and above five hundred yards wide. At low water this is an im passable barrier to the salmon, but the rise of the river enables them to leap it _easily. On one side of the fall there is a wide flat plateau of rocks, the descent to which isjby a winding trail down an almost vertical cliff. Very early in May the Indians began to arrive. Day after day. and all day long, from every direction, strange processions, consist ing of horses laden with lodges, squaws, children, together with the strangest medley of the chattels, (every- atom of property pos sessed by the tribe is always carried along with them, even to the dogs, when migra ting to attend the salmon havest,) wind down the various trails leading to the trading post. Small villages oflodgcs, the encamp ments of the various tribes, rapidly* scatter over the plain, bands of horses scamper, in wild confusion, up the green hill-sides, care fully guarded by their various herbers; the smoke of countless lodge fires coil slowly up in misty wreaths: chiefs and braves lounge lazily around the trade post; medicine men —in otherwords, the conjurors, doctors, and invariably the great scoundrels of the tribes —busy themselves at their incantations, making "salmon medicine" to insure a pros perous harvest; while squaws, old and young pitch the lodges, carry wood and water, cook, and quell the perpetual riots going on among the newly-met children and dogs. In about a week from nine hundred to one thousand Indians are camped in readiness for fishing. On their arrival, and during the fishing season, every chief is under the control of one (the "salmon chief "') who manages and directs the fishery, settles all disputes, and sees to the eauitable division of the take. When the assembly is completed, camps satisfactorily arranged, and all the details of this novel colony adjusted, preparations are commenced at the falls. The drying-houses, about fifty in number, are first repaired. These are "built on the plateau of rocks pre viously mentioned, a* ' consist of sheds open at the sides, but. r ofed over with rush : mats. A series of p°* d poles placed close together, like a ceilmg, yon which to hang the fish,)complete each edifice. Then old and skilful) hands set to work to make the fishing traps. (I may mention that neither nets, spears, nor canoes are ever employed at this fishery.) These traps are huge wooden affairs, the materials used in their construction being willow, hazel, birch, ma ple, and cedar; the diameter is about twelve feet, and the depth from eighteen to twenty feet. Numbers of these are made, the [ young Indians bringing the materials for i the supply of the skilled workmen. As these baskets are completed, others prepare to fix them in the places where, from long experience, the fishers well know the salmon invariably leap. This is both a difficult and a dangerous service, as they have to hang them from trees, one end weighted down in the water with enormous stones and rocks. Of course all this is accomplished before the river begins to rise. Nothing but the strength of numbers, combined with long practice, could ever enable these uncivilized men to perform so formidable a piece of en gineering. Immense pine trees are felled with rude hatchets, and cleared of their branches, dragged down on the rocks, rolled op other trees across deep chasms, levered, twisted, tugged, and turned about, until fixed securely and immovably in the desired position. When ready for the baskets, these trees, projecting over the surging water look like gibbets for giants. . . The wicker baskets —giants, too, in their way—being completed, and long ropes, made from the inner bark of the cypress tree, woven to suspend them, the next job is to hang them. To manage this final but ticklish operation all lend a hand; and as each has his say , young and old jabber in different Indian languages until one im agines the davs of Babel returned. By dint of mar *' r wimuiing, others bestriding trees, A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS nuarber-s hauling at ropes, and greater num bers doing nothing except advising and hin dering the rest, the vast wicker traps are hung safely, awaiting the rising of the river, and, with it, the salmon. Pending these events, a continual round of enjoyment is indulged in; the gayest cos tumes are sported, vermilliou is used in reckless profusion; the rival tribes, young and old, struggle to outvie one another; horse racing, foot and hurdleracing, hazard, dice, i-huffle-stick, even a savage "Ant Sally,' are in constant progress throughout the live long day; even during the night, the light of the lodge fire, the drowsy chant and beat ing together of sticks, and a clumsy kind of tambourine, give warning to all hearers that gambling is going forward. High stakes are played for-horses, blankets, slaves, guns, traps. I have often seen wives and daugh ters risked on a race or a throw with the dice. The woman game even more reck lessly than the men. The salmon-sentries announce the appear ance of the first fish, and all hands rush to commence the work of catching and curing. This may be the best place in which to men tion, incidentally, that the salmon are indis pensible to the existence of the inland tribe of Indians. Nature supplies the tribes with these fish with a lavish profusion, incredi ble to any who have not seen the "salmon run" in these wondrous rivers. Every stream becomes so filled with fish, that to throw a stone into the water without hitting one is next to an impossibility. When I say that the Commissoner (I need not men tion names) and myself found it difficult to ride through a ford, in consequence of the abundance of the salmon thronging upwards and onward to spawn, some idea may be formed of the incredible numbers that an ually visit the rivers of the northwest. Soon after the arrival of the vanguard, the main army reach the falls, and the water becomes a moving mass of silvery fish; fifty and even more, may be seen leaping the rushing cascade at a time; many succeed, but the greater number fall back into the baskets, so deftly huug to receive them— two hundred salmon a day are frequently taken from a single basket. Two naked savages enter the wicker trap, each armed with a short heavy club, and stand amidst the struggling captives, the water dashing over them like a monster shower-bath. A fish seized, a sharp rap on the head knocks it senseless, then it is Hung on to the rocks; a similar fate awaits another, and so salmon after salmon is pitched out, until tired Indi ans are replaced by fresh. On the plateau, a scene equally busy is going on; the squaws and children drag the fish to the dryingsncds, split them open, remove the backbone and head; then hang them on the poles to dry— the head, backbone, and a portion of the entrails and roe being the only part that is eaten. Small fires are kept smouldering under the drying fish, to drive off the Hies and aid in its preservation When sufficiently dried, the salmon are packed in rush mala and tightly corded, about fifty pounds weight iu each bale. Packing them in this manner facilitates their transport on the backs of horses. 1 have eaten salmon thus cured, after it had been packed two years, sound and free from taint as on the day it was caught. The salmon run over, which lasts about three months—although the first three weeks pro duce the greater number —the equal distri bution of the catch is made under the super vision of the salmon chief, tents are struck, horses packed, and each tribe wend their way back to their wintering grounds, whore, during the long snowy nipping winters, they live on the frnits of the salmon harvest. On the Eraser river there arc no impedi ments to the salmon's ascent as far as any Indians reside. Its waters rise as those of the Columbia do, Put with swifter course. In a few places—l may instance the solid wall of rocks (along the base ot which the river dashes with great fury) betwixt the Lurnass and Chil-uk-wcy-uk rivers—stages are used. They aie hungovei the water by ropes made fast to the trees on the top of the cliff. A similar kind of net to that of the cascades is used in this case. But the sys tem by which the great take is managed is a most ingenious net fastened between two ca noesmoored in the eddy. Poles, too. armed with sharp hooks, are used with great suc cess to hook or gaff the salmon into the ca noe. On this river there are no regular fisheries, nor any assemblage of tribes from far off places, as on the Columbia. Each village works for itself; neither do they take the same care in preserving the fish as their brethren of east take. I have weighed salmon at the fills on the Columbia of seventy five pounds. Forty pounds is a common average. Why they obstinately refuse the most tempting baits, after quitting the sea where they spawn, why they go a thousand miles up stream, and what becomes of the tiny fry, are matters of interest to be considered at some future pe riod. The wholesystoin looks vastly like the combined linksofone great magnificent chain of design. A race of people isolated in the far interior of a wild country, hundreds of miles Irom the sea coast, are shut up for six months of the twelve in deep snow, subject to an artic temperature. To enable theni to bear it, a great quantity of carbon, in some form, is absolutely rcqusitc; roots, berries, or animals, the products of the soil are alike inadequate to furnish the needful supply. Mighty streams, breaking down mountain ranges, dashing through narrow bound channels, and leaping craggy ledges, thread their way to the ocean, Fish pro verbial for their fatness, prompted by a mar velous instinct, ascend these streams in myr iades to deposit their eggs, when the snow water[form.s salmon-ladders of Nature'sown contriving. In these fish the savage finds the carbonic life-fuel he must have. THE MANUFACTURE OF MONEY. —In one thine. at least, the Americans have out stripped the rest of the world, and that is in the manufacture of paper money. The artistic and mechanical skill which is lavish ed upon our bank notes exceed that of any other upon the face of the globe—the bank notes of England and France are rude in comparison. Strange as it may seem, the finest and best steel engraving is done in the city of New York and for specimens exhi bited the American Bank note Company took the first premium at the World's Fair, held in London. As a reward for their tri umph and skill or art, it may almost he said with truth that the city of New York, through this one establishment, furnishes the whole world with her bank notes. Greece, Italy, liussia, and the British Prov inces, Brazil, Nicaragua, and the South American Republics, too numerous to men tion, with Mexico and the United States, send their orders to this establishment, re ceiving in return money, which commends itself for its exceeding beauty. The Italian order for money, next to that of the United States, is the largest one ever executed. Some idea of its size may be formed when it is stated that one hundred and twenty thou sand sheets, containing twenty-five notes each, are sent off each week. A FOOL'S heart is in his tongue but a wise man's tongue in his heart. BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY. JUNE 28, 1867 A VISIT TO JEAN INGELOW. A writer iu the London Quern describes a visit to the poet .Jean Ingelow. "Will you eotue and call on Jean Ingelow said tuy hostess one fine -day. *)f course I would. So away we went along a shady lane, with the old oaks of Holland Park on one side and the ivy-crowned walls of Aubury House on the other ; for, though a part of Lon don, Nottiug Hill is rich in gardens, lawns and parks, such as one sees only in England. Our way lod us by Kensington Palace, the residences of Addison, the Duke of Argyle, Maeaulay, and better than all the rest to me, the house of Thackeray. A low, long brick house, covered with ivy to the chim ney top ; a sunny bit of lawn in front, trees and flowers all about, and, though no longer haunted by the genial presence of its former master, this unpretending place is to many eyes more attractive th>n any palace in the land. I looked long S*J lovingly at it, feel ing a strong desire to enter its hospitably open door, recalling with fresh delight the evening spent in listening to the lecture on Swift, long ago in America, and experien cing again the heavy sense of loss which came to me with the tidings that the covclist whom I most loved and admired would nev er write again. Leaving my tribute of affec tion and respect in a look, a smile and a sigh, I gathered a leaf of ivy as a relic, and went on my way. "Coming at last to a quiet street, where all the houses were gay with window boxes full of flowers, we reached Miss Ingelow's. In tho drawing room we found the mother of the poetess, a truly beautiful old lady, in widow's cap and gown, with the sweetest, serenest face I ever saw. Two daughters sat with her, both older than I had fancied them to be, but both very attractive women. Eli za looked as if she wrote the poetry, Jean the prose—the former wore curls, had a del icate face, fine eyes, and that indescribable something which suggests genius; the latter was plain, rather stout, hair touched with gray, shy, yet cordial manners, and a clear, straightforward glance, which I liked so much that I forgave her on the spot for writing those dull stories. Gerald Massey was with them, a dapper little man, with a large, tall head, and very un-English man ner. Being oppressed with 'the mountain ous me,' he rather bored the company with 'my tiocms, my plans and my publishers,' till Miss Eliza politely devoted herself to him, leaving my friend to chat with the-love ly old lady, and myself with Jean. Both being bashful, and both laboring under the delusion that it was proper to allude to each other's works, we tried to exchange a few compliments, blushed, hesitated, laughed and wisely took refuge in a safer subject. "Jean had been abroad, so we pleasantly compared notes, and 1 enjoyed the sound of a peculiarly musical voice, in which I seemed to hear the breezy rhythm of some of her charming songs. The ice which sur rounds e7Cry Englishman and woman was beginning to melt, when Massey disturbed me to ask what was thought of his books in America. As I really had not the remotest idea, I said so; whereat he looked blank and fell upon ljongfellow, who seems to be the only one of our poets whom the English know or care about. The conversation be came general, and soon after it was necessa ry to leavo, lest the safety of the nation should be endangered by overstepping the fixed limits of a morning call. "Later, I learned that Miss Ingelow was extremely conservative, and was very indig nant when a petition for woman's right to vote was offered for her signature. A ram pant radical told me this, and shook her handsome head pathetically over Jean's nar rowness ; but when 1 heard that once a week several poor souls dined comfortably in the pleasant homo of the poetess, 1 forgave her conversation, and regretted that an uncon querable aversion to dinner parties made nie decline her invitation." •'THE MAN OF THE WORLD." The first lesson of nature is perpetual as sension. Everything has been invented o\er and over. This shows nee. It is a very refined age, and fossils show how many times it has been through the mill, rasping it off and refining it. It is a world of cul ture. A pot of earth will remain unchanged for a hundred years, but put a seed into it and the whole through every grain will undergo transformation. Put a man into that pot and the change is still greater. Man is a born collector of man ners, style, thought, achievement, and this selection is itself a guide to fine choices. In the stomach of plants development begins, and it ends in the infinity of the universe. It is a long way from the gorilla to the gen tlcuian. There is reason in the roasting of eggs. There is a best way of doing every thing, and civilization is the having learned the sum of beasts. There was never a marked man who had not a keen perception of nature. Any con sideration of botany, astronomy, geology, administers a firmness to the mind, while dancing, playing and simple amusement leave contrary effects. The man of the world is one of sound constitution with abili ties that report to him the knowledge of na ture. Pericles, Aristotle, Archimides, Julius Caisar, Milton, Cuvier, Goethe are com monly cited as examples of culture, Tubal Cain, Socrates, Alfred of England, the Egyptian builders, Columbus, Copernicus, lluss, Luther —these are the national men. who cany the genius of the nations aud thus lead them. The so-called men of the world are commonly men of whips and horses, who strain their nerves at the pop of a champagne bottle, but those who study seience, the laws of nature, who would find their fellows in persons of real eleva tion and culture arc the true men of the world. We are in danger of forgetting that the basis of aristocracy is truth and honesty. Common sense is as rare as genius, and the proverb is understated that an ounce of com mon sense is worth a pound of genius. Common sonse is the torch every day in demand in public and private business. Common sense is always right, lias the pre cedence of all wit. all learning. It milks the cow, chops the wood, plants, hoes, reaps, and ministers to the necessities of the race. Every man of good understanding appre ciates this, and wishes that he had more. Heroism is the ability to serve itself at a pinch, to make the thing wanted at the very time. No one wishes that the educated young man should he a helpless being, a helpless angel, but a capable being dipped in the Sty:* of experience. He must learn to row his boat, harness his horse, camp out in the wood, if he is to be self reliant. These aro-thc first steps to power. It is the primary duty of the man of letters to secure his independence. There is not a fact in chemistry or mathematics, or a feat of the hostler or drover, which the thoughtful man docs not covet. Newton said, '"Never was a great discove ry made without a guess." There is no dunce who is not good at something, and no wit who is good at every thing. We do not pick our juries from col lege professors, hut from men of business experience. To build a house is a work of common sense, but how tew good houses do wo find. Common sense, strong in some nations, is weak in others. Tho English are noted for it. Montesquio thought there was no common sense out of England. The man of the world must have a dire, t eye to facts. With these primary teachings of nature, before and after there comes so ciety. No man of learning listens without envy to the sprightly and telling converse of merchants and men of business, who are so conversant with the world that they talk without embarrassment or restraint. The man of the worid will listen with good humor to arguments contrary to his own belief, though he does not change his course. A cultivated person has the whole scale of speceb; he can talk with scholars, in the par lor, in the street—everywhere as needed. _ Friendship is a species of nobility. So ciety is a word of mauy meanings. It some times means things very insipid and frivo lous. It teaches self-command, so that one can everywhere be himself and comforta ble. li teaches the law of conversation, which is to hear as well as to speak. Men of rare intelligence are naturally solitary. Society is part of our culture. We want the refinement of the gentleman. If cir cumstance do not permit the high social re finement, let it be remembered that solitude has its value. Heaven sometimes protects the thoughts of a great man by confining them in solitude. If it is a settled fact that he and society shall he separate, why need he blush so and bo so uncomfortable 'i But it is pleasant to see refinement pene trating into retired homes. The more piano the less wolf, the less dirt. The beautiful should never be out of thought. It is as right that the bread should be put upon the table in a comely shape as that it should be eaten. The soul is always selecting from actions that which is human and superhuman. The heroic sacrifices something to humani ty. There is no face or form so uncomely that it is not loved when associated with high goodness or power, and if all were good all would probably be great. We all fall an easy prey to fine manners. The main power of the South in our poli ties was in their dinners and their manners. The North was talked over aud talked down by the social suavities of that part of the na tion. But the true man of tho world is no mon otone, no man of one idea. He prefers a middle condition, relieved from the task of making a show. He tries to hide himself, but his spirit discovers him. The one evil of the world is blockheads, the need of the world iscommon sense. The glory of Ameri ca is, as the dory of Athens was in the exer cise of creative power. All the expenditure of a cultivated man upon himself is like the expenditure upon a temple —public and beneficent. Wherever there is a high civilization it is the work of great minds. France the speak er thought, is unjustly charged with being simple frivolous on aec unt of her devotion to fashion and refinement. It is the in-tinct of men that education is dangerous to tyranny. The higher the cul ture the greater the liberty. The war has established a chronic hope tor a chronic despair. It is not a question now whether we shall be a nation, but whether we shall he a new nation. The humanity of all na tions is in the American I nion. Would that we could feel that this coun try is the last great charity of the war, the end of all struggles to establish morality as the object of government. Intellect and not property should he represented, or at least not property without intellect. The work of America is to make the advance of ideas possible—to prove the principle that everything that is immoral is human. In the condition of America .it thi.. hour, pray er has become right. It is relieved of its moral curse; it has no foreign complications; it proposes to do right to all classes of its people, and to make it possible that the American citizens shall be a true man of the world. — Ralph Waldn Emerson. HOTEL "ACOOM JOBATION." —In_ the new chapters of "The Guardian Angel," in the February Atlantic, there is the following statement of what must have been the ex perience of thousands of travelers: It is a fine thing to he set down iri a great over crowded hotel, where they do not know you, looking dusty, and for the moment looking shabby, with nothing but a carpet-hag in your hand, lecling tired, and anything but clean, and hungry, and worried, and very miserable and mean, and to undergo the ap praising process of the gentleman in the of fice; who while he shoves the book round to you for your name, is making a hasty calcu lation as to how high up he can venture to doom you. But Murray Bradshaw's plain dress and carpet-bag were more than made up for by the air and tone which imply the habit of being attended to. The clerk saw that, iti a glance, and. as he looked at the name and address in the book, spoke sharply in the explosive dialect of his tribe: "JI N! ta'tha'gelm n'scarpethag n show him upt'thirty-one!' When Cyprian Kvcleth reached the same hotel late at night, he appeared in his best clothes and with a new valise; hut his ami able countenance and gentle voice and mod est manner sent him up Iwo stories higher, where he found himself in a room not much better than a garret, ileling lonely enough, for he did not know he had an acquaintance in the same house. The two young men were in and out so irregularly that it was not very strange that they did not happen to meet each other. AWAKDTO 111 SBAHDS.— Has anybody overwritten upon the responsibility which rests upon a husband with regard to the ed ucation of his wife? Of course wo know what you will .say about her being supposed to have "finished her education" before marriage, and all that; and yet you and we know that she begins as new an education with him as it she had never seen the alpha bet. His views, feelings, his ideas, are they nothing to her, if she loves him ? Years af ter, when they who "knew her as a girl," come to talk with the matron, do they not find her husband reflected in every sentence, either for gcod or evil ? Of course, the more strongly a woman loves the more completc is her own identity is absorbed in her hus band's. This is a point which is too much neglected by married men. A good husband is almost certain to have a good wife ; and if she be "not so good as he could wish at the commencement of their married life, he can soon educate her up to the proper mark. And, on the other hand, he can so educate ber down as to render his house a purga tory. and, perhaps, bring upon himself and his family the greatest agouy and keenest pangs of disgrace which a husband or chil dren can feel. IF you can express yourself so as to be perfectly understood in ten words, never use a dozen. VOLUME 10; NO. 86 HOW A VOtSU i.AIJV COES TO BED j SU "* s f' nK Mandy, be foster sister and "'ei ' ~ 8 '. >reston performed the task 08 disrobing for the night, without other assistance than that of her own nimble fin gers. I'irst the little lace collar and ribbon were removed from the neck, and the bright me rino dress laid aside; next the snowy skirts were lifted over the head; then a spring touched in front of the rounded waist, when with a clicking and metallic sound down came the wide expanse of crinoline, and Miss Charley stepped out of its steel circle, considerably collapsed but all the prettier. A somewhat similar mechanical operation was repeated, and numerous springs and curls were sot in lively motion, and then tvith a stretch upward of the plump white arms, and a long drawn sigh of relief, off came the little French ''railroad" corsets, and the dimple nhoukiere-ef the wearer rose in unrestricted freedom. The snowy night gown was now slipped over the head, and its delicate frilN daintily adjusted to the_ throat and wrists. Next the mirror was visited, and the charmiDg little moues made at the bright face it reflected, and then seizing the brush, the girl proceed ed to apply it to her glossy curls until they shone like .satin. Then to the washstand, where teeth white as eocoanut meat, were rubbed until they gleamed whiter, and the rosy face dipped in the basin of pure cold water until it glowed witb renewed crimson. And then drawing a low seat close to the fire, the young girl laid one pretty foot lightly on her knee and began to unlace the tiny boot which encased it. In a few moments both little feet were bare in their childish beauty, and pressed down on the hot bricks of the hearth, while a careful measurement was made as to the relative lengths of the big toe and the one next to it, for on this important difference depends the momen- tou- question as to which of the two shall rule in the future married life of the meas urer—it Inning been decreed by mysterious and immutable signs that should the great toe be longer, the forth coming lord of the lady will be master as well, while if the sec ond has the preeminence, a similar fate is in store for her.-elf. and her only master will be ber own swocf will. in the present instance both of the soft, pink toes were of such amcucss of lengbt that the inference was sufficiently clear that dc.-tiny decreed the married life of Miss Charley Preston should be a state of equal rights. The young lady sat still and amused her self by doing a little prospecting in the way of gazing down into the coals glowing before her. and then taking her Bible from its stand, she read the lessons appointed for the evening, then knelt and said her simple prayers. A puff of fragrant breath from a pair of rosy hps, and out went, the candle, leaving the room lighted only by the rich fire light. Then unbolting the door, that Mandy, who slept in her young mistress' room, might gain access, when it should please her to leave the delights of the kitch en, the young girl turned hack the soft blankets and snowy sheets of her bed, made the impress of her rounded figure in its downy depth, laid her innocent head upon the tastefully trimmed pillow, and went to her happy dream.- . THE AMERICAN WOMEN. The June number of If ours at llome has an article on "How to Treat Our AV ives, which those who think that love is not an es-ential element to a true marriage will do well to read. The article is too long for in sertion in our paper. The following are the clodttg paragraphs; 1 The American woman is what the Ameri can man requires her to he, and what American institutions and influences enable her to be. There is constant and fruitful effort on the part of men to secure for their daughters and for general female society the best advantages for education and culture; and these same men do this with wives in their homes who are treated little better than housekeepers. They are not regarded as partners; they are not treated as intimate and confidential companions. Equality of position, identity of interest, comuiunty of arms, affectionate and considerate tenderness and respectfulness of demeanor, through sym pathy that shows itself in atl private and family intercourse, certainly do not prevail between American husbands and wives, when regarded in the aggregate. Some will be disposed to deny this who only see life under some of its more favored phases; but those who are acquainted with all class es, in city and country, cannot fail to recog nize the" truthfulness of the statement. Women are denied the sympathy and society of their hu-bauds to a shameful extent. They are kent in a position of dependence, and made to feel their dependence; they are made to ask for money for their personal use, and compelled to feel like mendicants in doing it. There are multitudes of wives, supposed to be well married, who never approach their husbands for money without a sense of humiliation. Now any man who compels the woman of his love to do this, insult-her womanhood, degrades her. de nies essentially his marriage vows, and does iiis bc.-t to kill out, her respect for him. and to make the connubial bond an irksome one. A wife who is made to feel that she is a beg gar, is no longer a wife, except in name. A wife who is compelled to feel that she has no rights except those which her husband accords to her from hour to hour, looses her spirit and her self respect, and becomes a menial in feeling and in fact. MM, GRUNDY SPOILS OLBGIRLS. —Rev. Henry Ward Beeoher, who, by the way, is a good teacher, gives some good advice about the girls, and it is a pity his advice could not be heeded. By-and-by there will be women from ten to twenty years old. Mr. Beeoher says: "A girl is not allowed to be a girl after she is ten years old. It you treat her as though she was one she will ask you what you mean. 1. she starts to run across the street, she is brought back to the nursery to a lecture ou the propriety of womanhood. Now it seems to me that a girl should be nothing but a girl until she is seventeen. Of course there arc proprieties belonging to her sex which it is fitting for her to observe, hut it seems to me that, aside from these, she ought to have the utmost lati tude. She ought to be encouraged to do much out of doors—to run and exercise in all those ways which arc calculated to devel op the muscular frame. What is true ol boys in the matter of bodily health, is emi nently so of girls. It is all important that woman --hould be healthy and well devel oped. Man votes, writes, does business, etc, but woman is the teacher and the mother of the world; aud anything that deteriorates woman is a coniprehensivo plague on life it self. Health among women is a thing that every man, who is wise and considerate for his race, should more earnestly seek and promote." . G IVE strict attention to your owu affair —and consider your wife one of them. RATES OF ADVERTISING. All advcrtioinonl< for lot* than 3 month* 10 cents per line for each insertion.

They should be brushed both night and morning, but if only once, let it be done the last thing before retiring. Por tions of food, sweets, &0., left on or between the teeth at night, decay or acidify, and cor rode the enamel, and thus, gradually injure them. If the cavities between and in de caying teeth be thoroughly brushed out with water at night, and when rising, it will add years to their effective use and freedom from pain. Most of the tooth powders sold con tain an injurious acid, which, though it gives the teeth a clean, white surface, docs it at thy expense of some of the natural surface. A little hard soap, pleasantly performed, is the best possible applica tion. We would not recommend the finest charcoal, or prepared chalk or clay, for though inert, thev wear upon the enamel. No sickly persons can honorable marry another in good health without previously making a fair statement of the case. And even then if a marriage takes place a crime has been committed against unborn inno cents. But when both the parties are "sick ly," it is wholly inexcusable, and ought to be frowned upon by every intelligent com munity, however satisfactory the pecuniary condition of the parties. They tnay be able to support themselves, but they can give no guarantee that their children, diseased in body and feeble in mind, shall not be a pub lic charge ai the hospital the poor house or an insane asylum. The best general plan for insuring a healthy and vigorous offspring is to make an antipodal marriage; to make as much of a cross in the physical characteris tics as possible. The city should marry the country; the black-haired the blond: the bil ikius temperament the nervous; the fair skinned the brunette, the stout the slender; the ta'l the short. To marry each its like, is to degrade the race.— llalFx Journal of Health. TUE world is crazy for show. There in not one poison in a thousand who dares fall back on his real, simple self, for power to get through the world, and exact enjoyment as ho goes along. There is too much living in the eyes of other people. There is no end to the aping, the mimicry, the false airs and the superficial airs. It requires rare courage, we admit, to lire up to one's en lightened convictions in the days. Unless you consent to join in the general cheat, there is no room for you among the great mob of pretenders If a man dares to live within his means and is resolute in his par pose not to appear more than lie really is, let him be applauded. There is something fresh and invigorating in such an example, and we should honor and uphold such a man with all the energy in our power. WHISTLING. —Next to laughing, whistling is one of the most philosophical things in which a fellow of good spirits can indulge. Whistling is a popular prescription for keeping up the courage—it might better be said good spirits. Home genial philoso pher has well said on this snbject. "Whist ling is a great institution. It oils the wheels of care, supplies the place of sun shine. A man who whistles has a good heart under his shirt-front. Such a man not only works more willingly, but he works more constantly. A whistling cob bler will earn as much money again as a cordwainer who gives way to low spirits and indigestion Mean or avaricious men never whistle. The man who attaches whist ling throws a stone at the head of hilarity, and would, if he could, rob June of its ro ses—August of its meadow larks. BARN CM once took on a fit of eeonomy and in order to shorten his expenses, with drew. or shortened some of his advertise ments. The consequence was an immediate decline in business. Changing his tactics, and renewing his advertisements, his receipts swelled as rapidly as they had decreased— which taught him that however dull the time, it was false economy to dispense with printer's ink; and lie determined he would never again make so blunder in the way of retrenchment. We trust the ex perience of Barnum will not be lost upon our business men. Advertising is a sub ject upon which the great showman is emi nently qualified to give an opinion. A TARE.— One evening a parent was hear ing his little son recite his Sunday School lesson it was in the 13th chapter of Mat thew. wherein it relates of the malicious in dividual who went about sowing tares. "What is a tare?" the parent interrupt ed to inquire. _ Johnny hesitated. _ "Tell me, my son what a tare is. "You have had em," said Johnny casting down his eye and wrigghngbts foot. "Had cm?" said the astonished parent opening his eves rather wide, "why what do you mean. Johnny?" "When you didn't come home for three days last week," said Jonny, 1 heard mother tell aunt Susan you was oft on a tare." The Sunday school lesson was brought to an abrupt close, and Johnny, who knew too much altogether to sit up any later, was sent to bed. SOME time ago a planter a short distance from Memphis gave a party to the young folks in the neighborhood. It was a gay time, and in the course of tho evening the girls and boys played for- While this was going on, it chanced that the son of the planter, a mee,modest fellow, had to claim a forfeit of some of the girls, but he was overcome with diffidence. 'Go ahead. John,' said the planter, and kiss some of the girls. John hitched from one foot to the other, blushed, and finally blurted out: , "I —I never kissed a white girl, lather. The laughter that ensued may be ima gined. ENJOYMENT OY MEMORY.— It is often debated which is the most enjoyable, the an ticipation of a pleasure or its "ah*tKn; but the power of recalling, mcllcwcd an I hallowed by the lapse of time, as uiorc potent than either. Tin: soul, by an instinct stronger than icason, ever associates beauty with truth. WE may joke when we please,. if we are always careful to please when we joke.
