Tight Lacing and Red Noses.

There has been great deal said against
tight lacing with very little effect. No,

difficulty has been to influence the foolish
ones very large proportion, by the bye

truth, and shame the ninnies.) Tell such

that II works like poison upon rudy cheeks,

the world alive that no man OF cultivated

indignant sarcasms OF the true worshippers
Of female beauty. 1t is this - Tight lac
ing is the cause Of many red NOSES which
may be observed at an assemblage Of the
fair. The unnatural girth obsiructs circu-
luton and causes stagnation Of the blood
in that prompent and important feature.
"Often," says our authority, "often have
we seen these noses, faultess in form, but
tinged with that abhorred hue, TO which
washes and cosmetics have been applied in

for, surely, the most perverse admirers OF a
distorted spine and compressed lungs. would
deem the requirement Of dram-drinker's
nose too heavy condition TO be complied

We congratulate the friends Of health
and beauty upon this discovery. II tight
lacing survives knowledge of this fact, we
might as well cease all further efforts against
it. and acquiesce in that gradual degenera-
ton Of the human species into nothing bet.

How TO MAKE SLEEP REFREsHNG.-
/. Take sufficient exercise in the open air
during the day.
2. Eat ligh, suppers, always two hours
before retiring.
3. Avoid tea aud coffee and all unnatur-
al stimulants.
A. Retire early. All animals, except those
that prowl all night, retire TO rest soon after
the sun goes down. The early hours of
sleep are the most sweet aud refreshing.
s. Eschew feather beds; sleep on hair
or cotton mattresses, with light covering
OF bed clothes.
BE sure and have your room well VEN
liated.
We seldom hear the laborious peasant
complain OF restless nights. The indoleni,
pampered epicure, or the man who over
tasks his brain and denies himself bodily
exercise. is liable TO sleeplessness.

ENoLIsH AND AMERICAN GrRLs.-The
English girl spends more than one half Of
her waking hours in physical amusements,
which tend to inYigorate and ripen the bodi-
ly powers. She rides, walks, drives, rows
upon the water, runs, dances. plays, sings,
jumps the rope, throws the ball, hurls the
quot, draws the bow, keeps up the shuttle
cock, and all this without having il forever
pressed on her mind that she is thereby
wasting her time. She does this every day
until it becomes habit which she will fol-
low up through life. Her frame, as a nee
essary consequence, is larger, her muscular
system better developed, her nervous system
in better subordination, her strength more
enduring, and the whole tone OF her mind
healthier. She may not know as much at
the age Of seventeen as does the American
girl as general thing, she does not; but
the growth Of her intellect has been stimu-
lated by no hot.house culture, and though
maturity comes later, il will last the longer.
Eight hours each day OF mental application,
for girls between ten and nineteen years,
OF ten hours each day. as sometimes is re-
quired Ut school, with two hours for meals,
one for religious duties, the remainder for
physical exercises, are anough TO break
down the strongest constitution.

FEMALE EDUcArIoN.-No woman is edu-
Gated, says Burnap, who is not equal 10 the
successful management of family. Al
though il does not require so much talent
to rule household as il does to govern
state, still it requires talent of the same
kind. As he makes the best general who
has begun at the lowest post, and passed up
through every grade Of ofiice-as he makes
the best admiral who entered the navy in the
most inferior station, because they and they
alone are acquainted with The whole CON-
pass Of subaltern's duty--so that woman
will manage family with the greatest ease
and efficiency, who knows experimentsily
the duties of every member Of it.
Daughters who neglect this part Of edu-
cation are entirely without excuse, and their
mothers are still more to blame. The very
apology which is often made for the neg
lect Of it, is the greatest condemnation of
those who offer il. II is said by those who
are growing up in ignorance Of these things,
"Any one can learn how to keep house
her husband and is devoted 10 his interests I,
will make herself accomplished in those
things as soon as she is married" As well
might the young man say, "Of what use is
il for me TO learn profession, or make my
self acquainted with the details Of any BUSH
uessi When am maTried, il love my
wife. it will then be time enough TO learn a
profession, or TO accomplish myself in the
details Of business" Would there be any
