Oh mat Could, BY persuasion or argument,
influence our ung ladies to discontinue the use
of this slow poison. g Poison!' you exclaim
Yes, that which Injuries the constitution is a
poison It is well known that the human body
throws off, in every twenty four hours, through
the pores, an immense amount of its fluids.
II, by having your pores perfectly filed with
whiting, you prevent this rejecting process, the
perspiration must return and injure the system.
| have seen this pearl powder, or Lily White,
50 buried In the skin that it would require no
ordinary yapor bath Of the Hot Springs to ex-
hume it, With my dear young friends who are
just entering society, and have not yet become
initiated into this occult custom, I would affec-
tlonately demonstrate. Motherhood into wo-
manhood, how imperceptibly it glides
Like swell of some sweet tune,
Morning rises into noon,
may glldes onward into June"
As imperceptibly we glide into the folies of the
world of fashion. You have bid adieu to your
dina Mater, and returned once more to your
loved homestead. The world is bright and
alluring. You have said to your Legendre:
Go, thou old, tattered book;
We lay thee aside,
#aN without one lingering look,
And yet, with rising pride
We've scanned thy pages DER,
And learned what each contains,
And stored the cumbrous lore
Within our aching brains.''
Let us contemplate for moment our society
do we devote as many of our golden moments to
literary attainments as to the toilet' Fredrika
Bremen, in her ss Homes of the New World
gives the need that is due to our institutions of
learning and those for the INDECENT and afflicted
and as far as her former prejudiees will allow,
she does justice to our institution Of Slavery.
Does she do as injustice when she says: ssArti-
fee and vanity exercise no less power over our
sex in this country than in the great cities of
Europe, and far more than in our good Swe-
dem? Ii she is just, let us determine that this
shall no longer be our characteristic. Let us
throw off all artificial thraldom, we daughters
Of our free and beautiful America. Let us be
as natural and as lucid as our pure mountain
riyulets,
Do you desire beautiful complexion OBJ
tain from your father few garden implements,
tend with your own hands your flowers, and
you will receive from them, as in grateful re-
turn, the blending of their loveliest hues And
many sweet lessons will they teach your heart
in their silent language, causing your spirit to
be as sweet as their fragrance. Rise early,
and let your prisons and songs of praise ascend
in concert with those Of the Warblers of the
grove.
By way of securing a fine, elevated chest and
healthful lungs, arrange your own apartment
don't fear the broom nor busting brush; the
beauty that using them will give to the whole
form will counterpoise the injury your tiny
hands may sustain. By doing this you give an
hour Of leisure to your maid, for which, am
sure, she will be very thankful
To my young friends who are addicted to the
use of Lily White, would say Leave it off
now, if you desire to be handsome when you are
old" Don't try to leave off by degrees, as the
but cold water, pure from the fountain. Take
exercise in the fresh air, and, as an auxiliary,
abstain from all beverages that excite the
nerves. such as tea, coffee, etc., (of course, you
never touch wine or cordial in this age of Tenn
perance Reform).
A friend of mine visited q young lady who
was dying; she presented the worst aspect, and
50 shocked was she at her own appearance that
she requested no one should be admitted to her
chamber but particular friends. Her skin was
discolored, and perfectly scaly; caused by the
excessive use of Lily White, which her physi.
clans said had caused her death
We will view brighter picture. There re-
sides in A. q lady nearly seventy, who, though
not exactly Rosicrucian, has almost rejuven-
ated herself by exercise, temperate diet and
cold bathing. Her cold baths are taken during
cold as well as warm weather, and l imagine
her spirits and mind are as elastic and youth
full as her limbs
fear my young readers are DESTROYS of a
truce to diet, baths and Lily White. ELLA.
We learn from the Red River Republican of
