TRIBUNE AND TELEGRAPH.
No Little Girls Now.

Here is charming little sermon, by a
lady correspondent: sftetf4
What has become of all the little girls
now a-days? One sees plenty of miniature
young ladies. withbasque waists and foun-
ces, dress hats and tiny watches, promena-
ding the streets o: attending juvenile par
ties; but alas! little girl is rarity-one
who will, play playhouse and live life
time in few hours, making day and nigh
succeed each other with astonishing rapid
itv, fifteen minutes recess affording plen-
tv-of time for weeks of play house life; and
whom a neat plain gingham dress and sun
bonnet is the perfection of school dress
sunbonnets that viii not be injured if they
are wet in river or brook, and aprons strong
enough to bring home any quantity OF nuts
from the woods, in lieu OF baskets good
strong shoes that will come off with ease
on a warm summers day when the cool
brookstempts the warm feet to lave them
selves in its waters, instead of delicate gal
ters. which shrink from such rude treat
ment
Well it is to be hoped the race of little
girls will not become utterly extinct
There must be some wasting their sweet
ness upon the desert air, for surely they
bloom not in our cities, and but rarely in
our villages.
AT an age when little girls used TO be
dressing dolls, we now see them decked in
all their fnery, paradng the street, and
flirting with young students. Where on
earth are the mothers of these precious
iiirts? Are they willing to allow such fol-
II.
Then as 10 dress-why, little miss must
now be dressed as richly as mama; and the
wonder is how she will be able to outyic her
present splendor when she comes out
But in this go-ahead age, some new in
ventions viii enable her to accomplish her
desire.
AS there are no little girls, so there will
be no Young ladies; for when Miss leaves
the school She is engaged, soon marres,
and takes her place in the ranks of Ameri
can matrons How will she fill her place?
for how or when has she found time to pre-
pare for iife's duties Won Ter if it would
not be good plan to turn over new leaf
begin in season, and see if it is not
possible to have again darling little crea-
lures, full of fun and glee, who can run and
lump without fear of tearing flounces and
finally have a set of healthy young ladies,
unon whom the sun has been allowed TO
Skaine, and active exercise in the open air
bestowed AZ eubundant supply of life and
energy.
Unite healthy body TO the higIy cult
waited minds of our American wives and
mothers, and they would be the admira-
Gon of the world, instead of being pitied
for their fragillty Home Journal
Tnr CoxDrr1oNAL MAx.-There are some
men who arc never known to give an I'M
conditional assent to any proposition, how
ever SELF evident.
We have in mind a person of this char
actcr, to whom for the sake Of convenience
We shall give the name of White.
"A beautiful moring, Mr.. White, we re-
marked on one occasion.
yes said he doubtfully, 'butI shouldn't
wonder if it raned before night
Your piazza is a great improvement to
your house, we continued.
Yes. sir. but it is little too narrow
Ifit was, say a foot wider, it would be just
the thing
In that case, you must like Mr.. Smith
for, if am not mistaken, his is precisely
that width
Very true, but then it is too high?'
How do you like the new minister?-
He is generally POPULAR good preacher,
n rood pastor, and a good man
WHY, yes, admit all that, but didn't
you notice how askow his neck-cloth was

No, but admitting that to be the case it
was no objection to him in his official char
actel'
Why no, but then we expect a m mister

or folks
You have a fine field of potatoes yonder
Mr.. White
yes, it looks we'll enough above or ound
but there's no knowing but they may be
all rotten before they are gathered

it will be very noisy, so that body can
have a quiet moment to himself.
we must be content to submit to a little

great good, That is thetrue philosophy o

Perhaps it is, but then, them railroads
are COMPOUNDED noisy.
Almost despairing of obtaining a straigh
forward unconditional answer to our maui
asIes we, as lastreSort, pointed out a boy
who was passing by, and remarked.
That boy has very dirty hands,
Yes, said Mr. White, yes, but-but-
but he was evidently seeking some way
in which TO bringin an objection. At length
his face frightened up and he continued
