IF I WAS I GIRL.
If I was but a pretty girl,

I wouldn't strive to be a belle,
For boys to, follow me.
Gigantic hoops I wouldn't wear,
That reach across the street,.
Nor let the tresses of sty hair,
liasg to my tiny feet.
A pyramid 1 wouldn't be,
Fnim head down to my toe,
For fops to follow after me •
Wherever I may go.
wouldn't swing myself along
In every public place,
As thoueh my heels were very long.
And destitute of grace.
I wouldn't wear behind my head
An ifnorraous pair of balls,
And , a bunch of flowers of blue and led,
And a hue waterfall.
I wouldn't be a•vain coquette,
With naught but pride to aid,
To make somminny foam and fret,
And die a false old maid.
wouldn',, dine on pigeon toes,
And be in church a saint,
Then visit all the balls and shows,
And flirt and falsely faint.

Have one young fellow Whom 2 know,
And I'd be neat and good.

Each of Nature's works adorning
With a pure and holy light;

Germinating froin he•'gtonnd.

THE LAWYER'S-RESOLVE;
TEE ANGLE AND THE. TEMPTRESS.
George Jackson was a young man of prom
ise, and was so considered by all io his native
town He was a lawyer by profession, and
was gradually laying the foundation for.
strong and steady practice.
.He had one great drawback to contend a
gainst, however. He was a man of a strong,
impetuous nature, and had inherited with it
c , a fondness for dissipation. In his younger
days; and until he commenced the practice
of his profession, he had led a wild, reckless
life, and had been regarded as a hopeless case
Upon receiving his certificate had and
' denly asto,nisbed his friend an rapt dis •
continuance of 'his old bab , and a steady
application to business
Yet no one knew what a struggle it cost
him to do so. No one knew the mental ago
ny he endured in trying to cast off the temp.
tation which constaatly haunted him, • and
sought to cast him down from the position he
baa reached. It was, with hire, a . cetinual
effort; for, in the society in which be moved,
not a day passed that he did not experience a
temptation to abadon his resolution and in
dulge just onbe in the dangerotis pleasure.—
His legal friends, were by no means so strict
in their habits, and they frequently urged
him to join in a friendly glass; and he scarce.
ly attended an entertainment that he was not
offered wine. All these offers were qitietly
and courteously refused; but sometimes the,
yourig man felt that the effort would snap his
heart. He made the struggle bravely though
He firmly resolved never again to taste in
toxicating- liquor, for he' knew himself . well
enough to be assured that, the first ' Mass
would only lead to another, and the old-thirst
for.liquor oneearoused, he could not tell
where it, would end. - Thus matters' stood
when this story opens.
Jackson feeling that be was on the
Toad to suCcess, and that pridence and eneri
gy, would certainly him that blessing,
thought it ebout,time that be should take' a
wife. He believed that be hget.arrived at
years of discretion,and was capable of making
a judicious selection, and he%ended the •mat 7
ter by resolving to settle thia,question as soon'
as he had ari oppottiniiy.
.; In the town in which he was residing were
two young women r who'had long divided the
admit:Mien of the gallants.
One wax beautiful, brilliant ereattire,With
glorioris black tresses 'of the same hue; -She

WAYNESBORO, OIiA.NKLIN CONTI PE B INSYLVINIA, FRIDAY MORNING; MAY 17 1867..
Like others, he bad been perplexed to deoide
lief' writhe most, beautiful . At the first
lan xe he invariably awardidthe palm to Niles
- `arlyle; but a sight of Lucy Lane's sweet face
would scatter-the conclusion to the winds,
:nd be would feel iriesiatably drawn by the
atter
When he made, up his mind to bunt for a
wife. his thoughts went immediately to the
wo beauties, and he reaolved,that if he found
their other qualities Bodies he hoped, to try
nd win the one he could love the best for
is wife; to tell the - truth, the young man
was half in love with,both. but with a grow
'ng preference for Lucy. He wanted a wife
for something more thiin, huerirlietintyTicuid
.e could not help believing that he would
find what he desired more surely in Miss
Lane than in Miss Carlyle. A favorable op
portunity soon presented itself to4iiiibi - thi - .
question.
Miss Carlyle felt flattered by the attention
of one .tho bade' so fair to achieve distinc
ion, and resolved to win him if her powers
of fascination could do so.
On her twenty-fourth hirtiday. she gave
a entertainment which surpassed' anything
be town had ever witnessed. George Jack
=on was there- She was radiantly beautiful,
d'the young max was half determined to
':ddress her before the evening was over.
When tie guests wentinto tie supper
oom Mr. Jackson found himself between the
two beauties. Some ooe proposed the health
of the fair hostess, and all but the young man
rained their glasses to the bottom. Miss
arlyt,, • I': :5,
MI
prise:
'ls it possible that you refuse to drink my
health Mr. Jaoksont'
'Pardon me,' he said calmly, 'you know I
never drink wine. -
'Bat this once will not make any differ-
ence,' she Urged smilingly.
am sorry to refuse you,' he said, 'but I
must do so. I resolved five years ago never
to taste any intoxicating liquors.• I might do
myself gieat harm by acceding to your re
quest.'
am sure you cannot do wrong - to drink
one glass, and that to my health,' she said as
sweetly as before.
She saw Buoy Lane watching them calm
ly, and she meat to show that young lady
how greatly she had the young lawyer io her
power. But for this she would have accep•
ted his excuse and ceased to urge lite. Miss
Lane's face flashed as she heard the young
temptress' speech, and involuntary she gazed
at Jackson as if awaiting his answer.
'Miss Carlyle,' said the young man, with
evident eiribarrasment, 'I beg you will not
urge mein .this matter. I have made a eel.
emn resolution to abstain from all kinds of
liquors. I consider my honor involved in
this resolve, and am sure you would , not
have me prove false to it. '
`You will ttot do so. by obliging me this
once,' still persisted the beauty. 'lt is not
fliir for you alone to refuse to drink my
health. lam really offended with you. I
don's see why' you should refuse to. gratify
me only for once.'
'To be candid with you,' speaking slow,
while his face flushed painfully ;•I am afraid
to do so. You remember the life I led five
years ago. lam 'afraid that even one ;tingle
departure from the path 'I have marked out
for myself might drag me 'back to it.
Turning his bead for a moment he saw
Miss Lane standing by him, and he knew
from the look of sympathy which her face
wore that she bad heaid the conversation.
'What shall I do?' he asked her almost
unconsciously.'
'You most decide for your yourself,' she
answered quietly, 'hut I would die before I
would abandon such a resolution.'. .
Neither saw the angry flash that darted
from Miss Carlyle's oyes. ' She controlled
herself, however, and said carelessly:
shall urge you no more, Mr. Jackson, and - I
am sorry you should be so much afraid to
pay me so simple a compliment.'
She boweirand passed to another portion
of the room, thinking hat the young man in
order to avoid offending _Ler, would finally
yield. •
He did not, and she soon saw lum leave
the:house. Ho went away with the matri•
menial question finally settled. • A woman
who would urge him de she had done to vio•
late such a resolution was not the person for
awife.: Lucy Lane's simple reply decided
his doubts in her favor, and the next day the
young lady receiVed a formal offer
and heart, Which she promptly accepted."
They were - married, and never afterwards did
Mr. Jackson have cause to regret Miss Oar.,
lyle's conduct toward 'bite, - for it gaiied hitu

A MORMON.PITIRAOLE.
The following account of an intended in
miracle is related in e voltionne published by .
Mr. Bennett on Mormonism. • It is explana
tory of Motmon miracles, which are arrant
imposturea,as has, been frequently,,shown:,.
Towards the close•of a.fiae summer's day
a farmer in one, of the Western States found
a reapectable looking man at his gate who re
quested permissidn to pals; the Vigbt under
his rbof. The hospitable farmer readi ly com
plied. The' stranger was invited into the
lionise and a'good substantial supper placed
before him. After he had eaten. the farmer,
vho appeared' Abe a jovial, --,+-Cheft-'
who appeared to be a jovial, Worm earted,
humorous, and, withal, shrewd old man, pass
ed several hours in pleasant, conversation
with his guest, who seemed to be very ill, at
ease. both in body - and mind, yet, as if desir
taus of pleasing his entertainer, • replied cour
teously and agreeable to whitever was said
to him. Finally, be pleaded fatigue and ill
ness as an excuse for retiring to rest, and wait
conducted by the farmer to an upper cham
ber, where he went to bed, about the mid
dle of the' night the farmer and his wife
were awakened by the most dreadful groat* .
which, they soon ascertained, •proceeded from
the chamber of the traveler. On going to
investigate the matter they found that the
stranger was dread fully suffering the most
acute pain, and uttering the most doleful
cries apparently without any consciousness
of what was occuring around him. Every
thing that kindness and experience could
cmg 4k at_was done to_relieve—the—siek--m.
but all efforts were in vain; and, to the con
sternation of the farmer-and his family the
guest expired in the course of a few hours.
In the midst of this trouble . and anxiety
at an early hour in the morning, two travel.
lers, came to the gate and requested enter
tainment. The farmer told them be would
willingly offer them hospitality, but just now
his household was in the greatest confusion,
on account of the death of a stranger, the
particulars of which he proceeded to relate
to_th ent.___'They_up pearett-to
prised and grieved at the man's calamity, and
politely, requested permission t o see the
corpse. This, of course, the farmer readily
granted, and conducted them to the chamber
in which lay the dead body. They looked
at it for a few moments in silence, and then
the elder of the two gravely told the farmer
that they were elders •of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and were
empowered by God to work miracles, even_
to the extent of raising the •dead; and they
felt quite - sure they could bring to life the
dead man before them.
The farmer was, of .course, considerably
astonished-at the quality -and powers of the
persons /who addressed him, and rather in
credulqusly askew if they were quite sure
they could perform all they proposed to.—
"Oh, certa inly! no , doubt of, it The Lord
has commissioned usuxpressly to work mira
cles, in order to prove the truth of the pro
phet Joseph Smith, and the inspiration of
the books and doctrines revealed to him.—
Send for all Your neighbors, that in the pro•
ence of a multitude we may bring the dead
man to life,. and that the Lord and flis
church may be glorified 3f all men " '
The farmer, after a little consideration, a
greed to let the miracle-workers proceed,.
and as they desired, sent his children to his
neighborrywho attracted'hy the expectation
flocked to the house in considerable numbers .
The Mormonite elders commenced their task
by kneeling and .praying before the body
with uplifted hands and eyes, and with most
stentorian lungs. Before they had proceed.
ed far with their prayers a sudden idea
struck the farmer, who quietly quitted the
house fc;r a few minutes, and then" returned
and waited patiently by the bedside fur a few
minutes until' the prayer was finished and the
elders were ready to perform the - miracle.-
Before they beg an lie respectfully said to
them that, with their permission, he wished
to ask them a few questions upon the subject
of their miracle. They replied .that—they
bad no objection. 7Thelarmer then asked:
"You are certain you can bring this man
to life again?" •
"We are." ,
"Ilow do you know that you eau!"
t.'We have just received a reveattion from
the Lord, informing us' that we can " •
"Are 'you' sure that the revelation was
from the Lord?"
"Yes, we cannot be mistaken about it
"Does youe power to raise this man to life
'depend upon the particular nature of his dis
ease,-or could yon bring any - dead man - to
life?"
makes no difference with us, we could
bring any corpse td life "
"I've!), if this man hid , been killed and
one of his arms cut off, could 6.0 u bring him
to fffe and restore to. him his arm?" , •
"Certainly; there is no limit in the' power
given to us by the Lord: it Would wake no
difference even if both' his arms and. legs
were out off."
''Could ysA: restore: him' if.: , ,hi5,..-Lead had

What Every Young Man Should
1. Every young man should make, the
mosttf-himsolf;:intellectuallyimorallyisocial
ly • and" physically.
•2. He should depend upon his own ef
forts to accomplish Owe results. ,
8. He should be willing to take advice
from those competent to give it, and to fol
low such advice,. unless his own judgment or
convictions, properly foundedohoull other?
wise direct. •
4. If• be is unfortunate enough to have
a rich and indulgent father, he must do the
best be can under the circumstances, which
will be to _conduct ,himself very much as
though be had not these obstacles to over•
come.
5. He should Remember that , young men
if they live to grow old; end. that.the habits
of youth are oftener than otherwise, per
petuated in , the mature of man. Knowing
this fast, he should ‘'govern himself accord
"
ingly.
6. He should never be discouraged by
small beginnings, )it remember that nearly
all'great results have been wrought out from
apparently slight causes.
7. Ile should never, under any circum
stances, be idle. If he cannot find the em
ployment he prefers, let him come as near
his dei}ires - A_ possible. He will thus soonest
reach the object of his.ambition.
8 All young men have *inalienable rights,'
among which none is greater or more sacred
than the privilege to 'be somebody.'

A lady who signs' herself 'A Martyr

suggestions to young men:-
,
Dear gentlemen, -between the ages of 18
and 45, listen to a few Words of 'gratuitous
remarks. When you make a social call of
an evening, ou a young lady, go away at a
reasonable hour. Say you come at eight
o'clock, an hour owl a half is certainly as
long as the most fascinating of yoli-iitrecin
venation can, or rather ought to desire to
,use his charms. Two hours, indeed, can - be'
pleasantly spent with music, or other games
to lend variety; but, kind sirs, by 'no means
stay longer. Make shorter balls and come
oftener. A girl—that is a sensible, true
hearted enjoy it better, and really
