FOR ME
COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, NAY 13, 1853.
gre,at deal of drawing out; when you are
' dear'..ed and patronised by stylish young
chits; who were in their eradles when you
were i 'a grown woman; or whou some boy,
who was your plaything in petticoats, has
the inertinence to look over your head,
bearded and grand, or even to consult you
on his love affairs. When you find your,
acquaintance . delicately abstaining from
the term ' old maid,' in your presencd, or
immediately qualifying it by_ an eager
panegyric on the solitary sisterhood: When
servants address you as Ma'am' instead
of ' bliss;' and if you are at all stout and'
comfortable-looking, strange shopkeepers
persist in making out your bills to •"Mrs.
Blank,' and pressing upon your notice
toys and perambulatdrs.
" Rather trying, too, when in speaking
of yourself as a 'Orr—which, from a long
habit, you unwittingly do—you detect a
smile on the face of your interlocutor; or,
led by chance excitement to deport your
self in an ultralouthful manner, some in
stinct warns you that you are making
yourself ridiculous. Or, catching in some
strange looking-glass the face that you are
too familiar with to notice much, ordina
rily, you suddenly become aware that it
is noel a young face; that it will never be
a young face again ; that it will gradually
alter:and alter, until the known face of
your girlhood, whether plain or• pretty,
loved or disliked, admired or despised, will•
have altogether vanished—nay, is vanish
ed : look as you will, you cannot see it any
more.
"There is no denying the fact, and it
ought to silence many an ill-natured re
mark upon mutton dressed lamb-fashion,'
young ladies of a certain age,' and the
like—that with most people the 'passing
from maturity to middle agls is so gradual
as to be almost imperceptible to 'die indi
vidual concerned. It-is very difficult for
a woman to recognise that she is growing
old ; and to many—nay, to all more or less
—this recognition cannot but be fraught
with considerable pain. Even the most
frivolous are somewhat to be pitied, when,
not conducting themselves as passies - , be
cause they really do not think it, they
pose themselves to all manner of !miscon
structions by still, determitiedly grasping,
that fair sceptre of youth, which they nev
er suspect is new the merest rag of sove
reignty'—sovereignty deposed.
" Nor can the mast sensible woman
fairly put aside her youth, all it has en
joyed, or lost, or Missed—its hopes and
interests, omissions and commissions, do
ings and sufferings—satisfied that it is
henceforth to be considered entirely as a
thing gone by—withont a momentary
spasm of the heart.. Young people forget
this as completely as they forget that they
themselves ,way one day experience the
same, or they would not be so ready to
laugh at even the foolisliest of those fool
ish did virgins, who - deems herselfjuvenile
long after everybody else has ceased to
share in the pleasing delusion, and there
by makes both useless land ridiculous that
season
.of early autumn which ought .to be
the most peaceful, abundant, safe, and
sa
cred time in a woman's whole existence.
They would not, with the proverbial harsh
judgmeot of youth, scorn so cruelly those
poor little absurdities, of which the un-!
luoltyperson who indulges therein is pro
bably quite unaware—merely dresses as
she has always done, and carries on the
harmless coquetries and ininauderies of
her. teens; unconscious, how-exceedingly
ludicrous they appear, in a lady of—say
forty ! Yet in this sort .of exhibitien,
which society too often sees and enjoys,
any honest heart cannot but often feel that
of till the actors engaged in it, the one who
plays ,the least objectionable and disgrace
ful part is she who only makes a fool 'of
herself.
•
"'Yet why should she do it ? - Why
oling.so desperately. to the youth that will
not stay; and which, after all, is not such
a very precious or even .a happy - thing?
Why give herself such a world of trouble
to deny or conceal her exact age, when
half her acquaintance must either know
it or guess it, or be
- supremely indifferent
about-it ? Why appear dreSsed—undreSs.
ed, cynics would say—after-the pattern Of
- her niece, the belle, of the ball; annoying
the eye with' beauty either half witbered,
or long overblown, and which in its prime
would have been all the lovelier for more
concealment?
" in. this matter ,of il4cs, a word 'or
two. There are two styles of costume
which ladies past their premiere jeuite*
are Most prone to fall into: one hardly
knows which is the worst. Perhaps, the',
it is ;the ultra-juiTnite—such as the in
sane 'juxtaposition of a yellow skin and
white tarlatane, or the anomalous
,adorn
ing of gray hair with artificial flowers. It
. may be quetstioncd whether at any age be
yond twenty a ball-costume is really ,hp
cowing.; but alter thirty, it is' the very
last sort of attire that a lady can assume
with impunity. It is said that you can
only; Make yourself look youngar by t.; res-s
-ing a little older than you really are; mid
, I have seen many a I sroman look
withered and old in the customary even
ing-dress which; being unman:4
thinks Accessary to shiver iu, who would
have appeared fair as a sauShiny October
day, if she would only have done nature
the justice to assume,, in her autum

have the'sense - to believe that gray hair

which our . youthful grandmothers wore!
powder; thatilitnr , l light-colored gowns,.
frippered over with trimmings, only t- suit
airy figures and •aetive motions; that a
sober,-tinted sul••,:,tantial gown and a pretty
cap, will any day take away ten years froni
a lady's appearance. Above all, if she
would observe this one grand rule of the
toilet, always advisable, - bat after youth
indispensable—that though good person
'points' are by no ureans.a warrant for
undue exhibition thereof,lmo point that is
positively unbeautiful Ought ever; by any
pretence of fashion or custom, to be show.
" The other sort of dress, which, it must
be - owned, is less frequent, .is .: the dowdy
style: People say—though not very soon
—' Oh, lain nut a young woman now; it
does not signify what I wear.' ' Whether
they quite believe it, is another questidn;
but they say it—and act upon it when
laziness or indifference prompts. Foolish
women i; they forget that if we have rea
son at any time more than another tomind
our 'looks' . it is when our [ looks are de
: parting from us. Youth can do almost
anything in the toilet—middle-age can
not; yet is none the less bound to present
to her friends and society the most pleas
ing exterior she can. Easy is it to do this
when we have those about us who love us,
and take notice of what we wear, and.in
whose eyes we would like to appear gra
cious and lovely to`the last, so far as
na
ture allows ; not easy when things are
oth
erwise. This, perhaps, is the reason why
Lwe see so many unmarried women grow
careless.and 'old-fashioned' in their dress
What does it signify ?—nobody cares.'
" I *think a woman
,ought to care a little
for herself—a very little. Without preach
ing up vanity, or undue waste of time
over that most thankless duty of adorning
one's self for nobody's pleasure in partic
ular—is .not still a right and becoming
feeling to have some respect fur t jtat per
sonality which, as well as our soul, Maven
gave us to make the best use of? - And
is it not our duty—considering he great
number of uncomely people, drat are in
the, world—to lessen it by each of us
Making herself as little uueomcty as she
can ?-
" Because a lady ceases to dress youth
fully, she has no excuse. 'Or dressing un-,
tidily; and though having found out that
one general Style, suits both her person,
her taste and convenience, she-keeps to it,
and generally prefers moulding the fashion
to herself, rather than herself to the fash
ion. Still, that is no reason why she
should shock the risible nerves of one
generation by showing up to theui the
out-of-date costume of anutner. Neatness
invariably, hues ca.-cfally harmonized,
and, as time - advances, subsiding into a
general unity of tone, softening. and dark
ening in color, until black, white and gray
alone remain, as, the suitable garb for old
age; these things are every . wo in a u's bound
en duty to observe as long as she lives.
No p9verty,trief, sickness or looelutess—
those mental "causes ivhich- act sO strongly
upon the external life—can jUstity any
one (to use a phrase probably soon to be
obsolete when Charity and cumuion sense
have left the rising generation no fifth of
November) involuntarily 'waking a Guy
of herself.'
" That slow, fine and yet preceptible
change of mien and behavior, natural and
proper to advancing years, is scarcely re
ducible to rule at all. It is butzthe out
ward reflection of an inward proem of the
mind. We only discover its full effect by
the absence of it, as noticeable iri a per
son 'who has such . very "young" manners,'
who falls into raptures of entkusiasm, and
expresses loudly every emotioh of her na
ture. Such a character, when real, is uti
objtetiouable, nay, charming, in extreme
youth; but the great improbability: of its
being real, makes it rather ludicrous, if
not disa g reeable , in mature age; then the
passions out, or are quieted down, the
sense of happiness itself is calm, and the
fulleit, tenderest tide of which the loving
heart is capable, may be described by those
still waters' which run deep!
" TO 'grow old gracefully"—as one,. who
truly has exemplaied her theory, has writ
ten-ant expressed it—is a good and beau
tiful thing; to grow old worthily, .a better.
And the .rst effort to that eud, is not only
to recognise, bat , to becoMe personally re
conciled to the fact of - y - Mith's departure;
to see,.or, if not seeing, ;-to have faith - in,
the wisdom of that which we call change,
yet Which is in truth progression; to lol

The Chivalry and the Law.
• • 1 -4—t
The "chivalif are showing us d new
phase of theirharacter.• Last year, - and
in fact in all time Past, .they figured as
the fighting men of t,he federal:capital—
the 'bloods" Of the metropolis--;—who
avenged all insults at the isword's point
or the pistol's mouth. They absolutely
.howled for battle. I The, Northern: men
were sheered at daily for their pusillan
imity and unwillingness to engage in,pu
gilistic and other encounters. The relig
ious, moral, intellectual and muscular su
periority Were all- on the sunny side of
the Potomac.
This year, soinchow, the tables seem to
be turned. In.the ecent Homeric com

More marked.
The g ood work seems to be progress
ing. . Mr. Helper, of North Carolina,
has apostatized froni , the faith of his fa
thers, and refuses any longer to believe
in the rio•hteou-ne-s l and pnulitableness of
slavery. Ile published a book - saniminiel
last year, in which he declared it to ha
his opinion that "a crisis" was impending,
over i.he sunny o South, in consequence of
its devoted attachment to the peculiar
institution, and; Moreover, supported his I
'pinion by a numVer of• arguments to I
which, for a long tinie, the South has not
pretended to have au better reply than,
assault and battery and banislinienk. Mr.,
Helper was, however, not within .reach
of this sort oflogie when his. book ap
peared; So, as the nest best thing, they
charged him with theft and eaezzle
nient—charges which he refuted, and
which were; last winter, withdrawn by
their promulgators in this city., • His
work was large.y quted by Senator Wil
son, of 11Iassachusettis, in the .recent de
bates on 'Kansas ; and in reply Senator
13iggs, as usual, hact nothing better to al
lege than the ul>l accusation of swindling,
directed against the anther. Helper
.forthwith proceeded to tile a rejoinder,
telling Mr. Craige, informant, that
in circulating such story, he had com
