On the Decay of Girls.
It is becoming a serious question
which-should-dnterest.us..all more. or
less, whether or not that class of the
human ‘family’ commonly designated
as ‘girls’ is not slowly ‘but surely dying
out, and whether or not by the time
the preseiit stock of babies are breech
ed and crinolined a real genuine girl,
guch as we read about in books, and
now and then meet in every day life,
will not be a sufficient curiosity to be
placed in a glass case and exhibited in
a museum, When we speak of girls
be it understood that we mean precise-
ly what we say, and do not include in
our category that portion of femininity
facetiously termed ‘old girls,” w ho
have exhansted all chance and proba-
bility of matrimony, and turn up their
irate noses at the holy institution, and
the loves and luxuries thereunto per.
taining ; nor do we allude to those
other girls who have reached the age
when marriage is usually considered
imminent and liable to occur at any
moment, and on the slightest provoca«
tion ; but our remarks are directed es
pecially and entirely to the short dress
brigade. Alas! that our eivilization
has touched such a Pee that girls, the
deary thoughtful, 44 ils, gan be
dedctibed only by Réir clothes !
W'wereitafight thatisgheny ry
of the female persuasion dltains't 1He
of six or thereabouts, she then! entered
upowr: the magic domain of girlhood,
and that in every well regulated fami-
ly and community she remained there
until herschoal days were over and she
was fitted by nature and education to
enter the noble army of husband hun.
tevs—~ Accordingly, a girl was a" girl
from six to seventeen at the very least,
and should treat hersalf and be treated
by others as such. Having arrived at
a ripe age ourselves, we have a vivid
and ‘pleasing recollection of the girl
tribe as thev once existed.” Bright,
sparkling, unsophisticated creatures,
over whum the fresh sunlight of "life's
morning was just breaking ; + whose
hearts, uhsearted by. care or folly, were
yet warm and tender with the ‘simple
tastes, the innocent desires, the pure
affections of’ childhood ; the géntle buds
in humanity's garden, whereon the’
dews of heween still lingered; and
whose hidden leaves of Toveliness gave
promise of a fair. and spotless flower
such were girls, ere the untimely and
unkindly frosts of frivolity and fashion
killed them, and left us only the bar-
rel, unseemly stalks,
A childrens party twenty years ago
was a spectacle joyous alike to gorls
and men. A room full of happy chil
dren, ‘unadulterated boys and girls,
romping, laughing, playing “blind
man’s buf” “puss wants a corner, Wy
languish,” “clap out,” and the whole
list of antiquated games that are now
banished as far from the precincts ‘of
“our best society” as the almanacs, of
the last century—cominug in the after:
noon and ding home at" 9 o'clock;
dressed plainly und neatly, and nox:
ious ‘only to ‘have a glorious, jolly
time.
Such. were.children’s parties then;
such aré ibey ‘net, emphatically not,
now... A spacious hall, orsaloon draws
ing room, with a band of fiddlers find
horn-blowers perched upon a platfor
at onerend, an array. of chairs. stretch.
ed. around. the. sides of the apartment,
a flood of radiance dropping from ‘the
| dozen chandeliers, and in the dentre a
solemn; concourse of little manikius
and womankind in ‘gorgeous apparel,
hearing the visible i impress of the man-
tuarmaker’s and tailor’s art, fragrant
with rare perfumes, and resplendant
with the crowning agony of a Parisian
hair ‘manipulator. They toil not, nei
ther do they spin, yet Solomon in "all
his glory was not arrayed like ‘oné pf
these. An atmosphere of intense ahd
suffocating gentility pervades the scene.
The young gentlemen, the oldest. of
them perhaps not fourteen, survey with
critical eye the lished Prop ortions of
their boo h-fastidious thu.
their imaculate kids, ohh af
to their ‘exquisite cravats, cross the
floor with the studied ease of a full
fledged carpet night, make a profound
obeisance to tiny elfs, ‘whe’ought tobe
in bed, receive a gracious assent and
take their places for the Lancers,
And then they dance, gravely, ele-
gantly and with a deliberate, politeness,
and aplomb, quite astonishing toethe
uninitiated. The young gentleman may
and naturally now and then; but the
young ladies never do. Not a trace of |

contemplate: It: gives one new views
of existence, and makes us think that

(and know how to display them to the
best advantage. Of course, at such
gatherings as these the guests are, not
expoeted to arrive before dark at the
earliest, and retire in the region of
midnight.
Now, the boys manage to get a large
share: df: this nonsense shaken off t! em
in the.rough eontact of the streets, and
the sehiol, but. the girls have no ave-
nue of estape, and grow up iu the same
artificial manner. We say grow up,
but this is a mistake——they are always
grownup. ‘Lhey are taught to believe
the highest merit they can possibly
possess is to “behave just like a lady,”
never to be a tom- boy; to be at all

The Sleeping Beauty of Tennessee,
A letter from, Union City, Tennes-
seeyto the Louisville Commeréial SYS,
So much has already been written iu
regard to. the lady known here as the
“Sleeping Beuuty,” that I can scarcely,
hope to give: you anything new, but
given, and make yo
ment of facts, as 1 know them from
hee mother, brother and friends who
now have her in charge in the same

and the requircmentsiof a domestic es
talilishment as the most sonorous belle |
of four and twenty,
In this day and generation when a
young lady “comesout,” thre man who |
expects'to find ‘in herd gushing dam-
sel free from guile, and knowing noth- |
ing of “the deceits of the world, the |!
flesh and the devil,” is egregiously |
mistaken. Her learning i in these pbints |
is generally complete and exhaustive, |
for has she, not graduated from a ‘sys-
tem which inculcates this knowledge
almost from the cradle? "We ' meet
every day gitls of sixteen and under,
who should be, and possibly are, still
at school, and who are charitably sup-
posed to be yet in their tutelage, with
no thoughts beyond thenext examina-
tion or “the next: holiday, but whose

The cup of life to: them dught to, be

Women in ‘Massachusetts.
The following 1s from the Boston
Bulletin :
Ina town about tem miles from Bos-
ton there are seven marriageable men
and minety two marriageable women.
These figures; obtained by a. recent
careful counts, are decidedly suggestive.
Do they, viewed in connection with the
movement for women suffrage, prefig
ure the approaching political domina-
tion of women, the gradual extinetion
of the male clément of ‘population or
the triumph of Mormonism’? We
| commend them to the Social Science
Association, for careful eonsideration.
The condition 6f society that ‘permits
such an anomaly must be a’ deserving
subject of study. To be sure, ‘this town
should not be taken as a fair represen.
tative of the Commonwealth; but the
numerical disparity between the sexes
exists, greater or less, in every town in
the State. ' In 1860, thee were 87,640
setts ; in 1865 the excess had “reaclied
93, 011. To day it is, 10 doubt, at Teast
100,000, and must increase anally.
The cause of this disparity is generally
understood ; while the births of lo
‘and females are about equal in num-
her, fifty per cent. of the male children
die before reaching the age of twenty
¢, percentage of fe
males thus cut off is only about thirty
three, But how will this growing dis-
proportion end ? The present feminine |.
excess of 100,000 is_not large ‘enough
tn excite attention, but the dispropor-
tration report. for, 1866 says: “Ever
since the first census of 1865 there has
been found. an excess of females rover
males in- Massachusetts ; .the disparity
has increased somewhat rapidly since
1850.” In proof of this, latter state.
ment we, have the fact that: in the five
years, 1860.5, it doubled. This subject,
from which I am Now writing to you.
Miss Susam Caroline Godsay was
bom in Obion Conuty, Tennessee, and
but respectunble parents. Her father |
| has been dead for vwelve years. Her
loved. child, and the sunken eyes and
forowl brow: show very plainly the
trinlsand sorrows she has experienced
in her duty for twenty-one years, . She
is very poog, and, to some extent, de-
pends on the coutributions of visitors,
to, bake care of and procure proper
supplies for her charge.
Miss Godsay: was taken sick when
about four years of age, with what was
supposed to be chills and fever, but |
which baffled the skill of nurses and
physicians for more a LWO years,
at. which time she, fell into amervous
sleep, from which she has not awoke
singe, for a longer time than twelve
minutes. = She usally sleeps soundly
from eleven o'clock at might unui
about six in the morning, aud through
the day awakes about once an hour.
Her waking spells are never less than
four nor more than twelve, but usally
about six minutes duration,
In her waking moments she speaks
both. pleasantly and intelligently, an-
swers promptly amy questions asked
her, and appears quite happy and con-
tented.
One of (he strongest peints_of this
strange case is the seemingly total ab-
sence of anything like respiration. ‘A
piece of the. finest polished glass held
to her lips. fails.to discluse the slight:
est touch of breath, . Her pulse is per-
fectly still, and but for ‘a nervous or
tremulous motion. of ithe hody which
never ceases, you-might at any time
